The annual farmers institute at

Blair had delivered an interesting
The speaker took the stand that ed
ucation gained at the expense of
health was worse than useless.
He pointed out to the farmers that
good schools such as would promote
healthy conditions could only be had
by the expenditure of considerable
money and he also stated that good
teachers could be secured only
through the payment of good salar-
les. His idea was to impress upon
his hearers the fact that outlays for
education that was to amount to any
thing were not tobe stinted.

WHEN MOTHER WAS A GIRL.

WHEN MOTHER WAS A GIRL.
CLOS Angeles Express.)
They wore no extra wads of hair,
When mother was little girl.
There was no hobble shirt affair,
When mother was little girl.
The waist line didn't change bit;
They never wore peach-basket hats!
The sheath gown hadn't made a hit,
No one had ever heard of rats,
When mother was little girl.
The women smoked no ciragets,
When mother was a little girl.
Nobody'd ever heard of suffragets,
When mother was little girl.
The maidens chewed no wads of gum
In public, as they do today;
The bridge whist fever hadn't come,
The girlies didn't get so gay,
When mother was a little girl.
The maidens did the washing. too,
When mother was a little girl.
And swept and brushed the house all
through,
When mother was little girl
They had to wash the windows clean;
They didn't go to matinees,
Nor auto out in dads machine
They spent their time in other ways
When mother was little girl
They didn't wear these high-heel shoes
When mother was a little girl.
Nor Laura jeans love tales peruse,
When mother was little girl.
The maidens were quite circumspect,
They didn't sit up half the night,
Their sweetheart left you recollect,
Before the gray of morning light,
When mother was little girl.

THE MAN BEHIND THE HAT.

New York Tribune.)
l cannot hear single word;
/ cannot see a thing
Except a hat that looks absurd;
And so my thoughts take wing.
They wander freely to and fro
AS vagrant fancies come and go.
although the men in church seem few
The explanations pat;
Some man may well be hid from view
Behind each woman's hat;
For several other men, ! see,
Are fellow sufferers with me.
St Paul would probably approve,
Were he alive today,
II women should their hats remove
When we have met to pray;
He never saw a thing like that

A Gift with a Thought In IL.

What other Christmas present
costs so little and means so much as
a subscription to The Youths Com
panion-52 weeks for $1.75? 1t is
gift which benefits not only the one
who receives it, but every member of
the same household.
With many Christmas presents the
sense of novelty wears off by the
weeks end, but The Youths Com
panion is as new and sought after
the fifty-second week of the year as
the first. 1t is elastic in it's adapt
ability, too; for it does not matter
whether the present is for a boy or
a girl, young married people, sedate
couples, grandparents-there never
was one yet who did not set store by
The Youths Companion. You can
not make mistake if you give The
Companion-and it is only $1.75 a
year now. On January 1, 1912, the
price will be advanced to $2.00.
The one to whom you give the sub
scription will receive free The Com
panion's Calendar for 1912, litho-
graphed in ten colors and gold, and
you, too, as giver of the subscription,
will receive copy of the Calendar.

IN THE RAILROAD YARD.
Few Facts and Figures About The
Volume of Business Here.

Few people in town have any idea
| in regard to the volume of business
done in the local freight shed and
railroad yard, or the number of men
engaged there. The freight business
in town has been steadily increasing
until 800 car loads per week are re-
ceived at the local shed. In addi-
ton to this 200 car loads per week
are forwarded so that quite a force
of men is necessary to handle this
business. The monthly average of
tonnage received on the Boston and
Maine system has been 9,214,338
pounds, and the st. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain road has contribut-
ed 4,251,283 pounds monthly. The
monthly average of tonnage for
warded is considerably smaller, the
Boston and Maine having taken 81
439,922 pounds and the St. Johns
bury and Lake Champlain 1928
pounds. The local shipments out
of town average 1900 per week and
the shutters handle 700 cars per
week in the distribution of
freight. Connected with the freight
department, which is in charge of
w. A. Moulton, there are 33 men,
divided as follows: Office force 10;
shed force IA; yard men 8.
There are 103 men in addition to
those mentioned who are connecte%
with the railroads and who reside
in town. These are as follows: reg
ular shifter men; second shifter
men; Boston and Maine station
men; conductors and brakemen 80
men; car department 4 men; Bos-
ton and Maine section men; st.
j. and l.. G. section IL men; round
house, IL men and engineers and
1remen "a men, making a total of
136 men employed in or about the
local railroad yard
