Will TRY TO ORGANIZE
Milkmen Between Newport and
Wells River Want to Form an
Independent Association.

About 25 farmers in this vicinity
who furnish milk for the Boston
market met at the Avenue House
last Saturday and discussed the mat
ter of forming an association for
their mutual protection. B. H. La
ducer of Lyndonville is the chair
man of the organization and w. Ar
thur Simpson of Lyndonville the
secretary.
1t seemed to be the unanimous
opinion of the milkmen present that
they should have an organization
and secure as much for their milk
as other producers who have organ
lied and are furnishing milk to the
same market. There was some diff
ference of opinion however over the
proposition to become a branch of
the Boston Milk Producers Asso-
citation. Some believed that being
a part of this large association
would add to their strength in nego-
tiating with the purchasers while
others did not like the idea of being
controlled by an outside organiza-
ton and being obliged to follow its
orders regardless of what conditions
might be locally.
1t was finally decided to have the
officials meet the milk producers in
all towns between Newport and
Wells River and see how many
would be willing to join an indie
pendent association and report at
meeting to be held later.
The question of stopping sending
milk to Boston was brought up but
the majority seemed to think the
Boston market was advantag geous as
it helped maintain prices for dairy
products at home.

OPENING OF ACADEMY.
A Large Attendance Begins Work
For The Year

Monday, September 4th, registra-
tion day, the ST. Johnsbury Academy
opened and large number of stu
dents were enrolled, 172 freshmen
registering on Monday. Tuesday, at
$50 the first chapel exercises were
held and the school, in the larger
sense, was opened. The chapel hall
was filled and Principal Benedict
opened the exercises with two hymns
followed by devotional exercises
conducted by the Rev. S. G. Barnes
DR.. Barnes told of the fine environ
ment about the Academy students,
of the fine chances opened to every
one, and of the way to make friends
and how to get started correctly in
the school. Mrs. Emma ShufeIt
Moore, former student of the
Academy, rendered two solos which
were very much enjoyed. DIR. Bene-
dict closed the exercises with a few
notices.
In the afternoon 18 minute reci-
tations were held and Wednesday
morning the reciGations of the school
began in full. South Hall and the
girls cottage are both very nearly
full and all prospects are favorable.

CARLETON AND BEACH
Two Famous Writers to Address
Caledonia Forest and Stream
Club Next Thursday.

The talent secured by the manage
ment for the meeting of the Gale
donia Forest and Stream Club on
the Academy campus near the
fair ground next Thursday is
of an order seldom heard in this
section. John Kendrick Bangs
found it impossible to come but def
mite promises have been received
from Will Carleton, the poet, and
Burgess Johnson. Carleton besides
his poetical ability is first class
speaker and is sure to please the
crowd.
Burgess Johnson is one of New
York's most amusing speakers and
is very much in demand there for
after dinner speaking.
Rex Beach, the author of so many
thrilling novels of the Klondike re-
gion and whose new book tThe
Ne'er-Do-Well'' is attracting great
attention, is expected to come but
has not definitely promised. His
wide experience insures most in
teresting talk.
There is no danger of a shortage
of good speaking as Col. George
Harvey is coming and the Hon. Alex
ander Dunnett will be the toast
master. So the committee has done
everything possible to give the mem
bers a treat The tent will ac-
commodate about 400 people and
the applications for tickets indicate
it will be filled. In case Thursday
is down pour of rain the dinner
will be served on Friday. But the
tent gives good shelter and the din
ner will be held Thursday unless it
is very wet. The dinner will be
served promptly at noon to allow
all members a chance to hear the
speaking and get to the races at the
fair.

FAIR NEXT WEEK
Good Exhibition Of Horses and Cat
tie Assured.-Entries for Two
of the Races.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week are the
days set for the 65th annual fair
of the Caledonia Fair Ground Asso-
citation and Secretary J. M. Cady is
very busy receiving entries. Every
thing points to an exhibition of
cattle that has made this fair one
of the best in Vermont while the in
Cerest in the development of the
Vermont horse is bringing out
great number of exhibitors of fine
horse flesh. No other county in
this section has so many thorough
bred horses and cattle as Caledonia
and this good showing at home
draws the highest grade of competi-
tion from other states as well as all
parts of Vermont.
The management feels special
confidence in advertising it's areo-
plane exhibition as it has secured
the famous Jimmie Ward,'' who
does things every time he tries. Then
he is under a guarantee to give three
ascensions of 1000 feet or more
each day of the fair. After sue
cessful flight at Grant Park,
Chicago, recently and securing a
pilots license issued by the Aero
Club of America Ward decided to
give them little entertainment, on
his own account. So he steered to
near Park Row, and turned the areo-
plane north. He steered straight
north at what looked like line of
$50 feet above the sunken arena
that was used by the soldiers dur
ing the military tournament. Then,
when directly over it, he suddenly
dropped. The plane fell more than
100 feet without a pause. At that
point the motor whirred again and
the craft poised it above the ground,
swooped, and disappeared in the
arena. For moment it seemed that
the areoplane had alighted. But
that was all. It sprang up into air
again and soon was 200 feet from
the ground and starting on another
figure 8. A few minutes later Ward
had steered his craft about the field,
again pointed to the north and
feet of the spot he had named as
his alighting point.
The entries for the 240 pace
and 2.35 trot and the 220 pace and
2.15 trot races closed last Sat
urday night The list recorded at
that time shows that there will be
some fine speed contests. The en-

REARREsTEO At
GATE OF PRISON
James Barnum Nabbed on Com
pleting Term in Springfield, Mass.
Broke Parole Here.

After serving two years in the state
prison in Springfield. Mass, James
Barnum was released last Saturday,
only TO be arrested by Detectives High
and Larkins, who brought him back
10 Detroit on a charge OF violating his
parole.
Barnum was arrested in Detroit in
1907 for picking a mans pocket. He
was released on parole by Judge Con-
molly on Father Dunns intercession.
In the county jail, Monday morning,
Barnum declared that be was lured
from the path OF righteousness by
crooks.
He said that when he was released
he had only a dollar, that he tramped
the streets looking for work but could
fine none. Then he met up with some
old pals and went with them to Tole-
do and then. east. He separated from
them In Philadelphia and went to Bos-
ton, where he was caught picking a
pocket.
His mother and father live In Chi
cago. OF the last IL years, Barnum

guard and for that he served 10 days
in the dungeon

Any Complexion Can
Be Made Beautiful
{ From STYLES of Today

Nine. Merou, OF Paris, perhaps the
worlds greatest authority on beauty
and dress. says that now no woman
need despair OF possessing a clear
complexion and a satiny skin.
Even a plain woman" says the
famous Merou, "attains a complexion
which is the envy OF her friends when
she disolves a small original package
OF mayatone i'm eight ounces of witch
hazel, and messages her face, arms
and neck with this solution daily. You.
soon notice a lovely clearness which
Is sweetk enchanting.
Mayatone leaves no trace of grease

and preserves the complexion as
nothing else can, and presents the
growth OF superfiuous hairs.
You never use powder or cosmetic

President Fixes, "and | hope that

All OF the Baptist churches will hold

about The PHYSIOLOGY OF prayer,
which he discussed in predagogic
way.
Prayer said he, lis one OF the
original and formative factors III
Christian life. 1t is, in fact, the cen
tral, most influential, vital and real
factor in Christianity when a man
is moved to prayer. 1t Is the result
of the touch OF the finite with the In
finite and 1t is his heart going out
TO God. When in prayer We are on
the borderland OF a universe we know
and a world that is unknown. Prayer
brings results, yet we do not pray
because we are able to understand
either ourselves or God. We do not
pray by reason of intelligence but
because of feeling-an emotion that
we ourselves cannot define. We pray
because we feel the need OF succor
OF support and, in prayer, We know
that we receive IT.

EXHAUSTED NERVES
Must Be Nourished Through
The Blood.
II Is the Only Way IN Which
Starved Nerves Can Be Fed
And Is Usually Successful
From the Start.

Nervous debility il the forerunner OF
q nervous breakdown, perhaps the
warning sign of paralysis.
The first thing 10 do in nervous de-
bility is 20 stop the cause OF the trouble,
ii possible, whether il is irregular liv-
ing, worry, or whatever IL may be.
Then the nerves must be given special
nourishment and the blood must be
kept pure and rich. This is the mis-
sion OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills and this
is why the pills have been used with such
great success in nervous troubles that
did not yield TO ordinary methods of
treatment
''About six years ago." says Mr.. j.
w. Landon, OF No. 307 Lowell street,
Charleston, w. Va, 81 suffered from a
complete nervous breakdown. | be-
came so extremely nervous that there
was a constant trembling or twitching
of the muscles of my body. had no
appetite, could not get good nights

my condition all OF the time. | was
thin and pale and my blood was poor.
Occasionally there would come over
me a numb, prickling sensation. My
health became so poor that | had To
give up my WOTk.
81 was treated by physicians and
specialists in nervous diseases but they
did not help me. A druggist in Balti-
more told me to try Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and | followed his advice. In q
few days | felt some benefit, my appe-
tte improved and gained in strength.

cured and have no hesitation in recon-
mending DR. Williams Pink Pills for

A booklet, Nervous Disorders" will
be sent free upon request 10 anyone in
terested in the remedy that cured Mr..
Landon. Write for copy today.
There is absolutely no way of reach
ing the nerves with medicine except
through the blood The nerves receive
all OF their nourishment and support
from the blood which, under healthful
conditions, carries the elements needed
to rebuild wasted nerve tissue.

KNOCKS HALLY'S OPINION.
Tax Limit Dictum Won't Stand, Says
Controller.

II do not think that the city can do
business within the appropriation
limits laid down in Corporation Coun-
sci Hally's opinion, Saturday" said
Controller Heineman, Monday. Like
wise | think that the opinion will not
hold water
There are items such as street
opening and grade separation awards
that cannot be reduced, and there are
public improvements that are abso-
lutely imperative, which will force the
city appropriations UP above the 20
mill limit.
1T is an absurdity to say that the
amount raised by bonds must be
taken out OF the appropriation limit
