navy yard paid to the people Of Ac-
ton when he wrote a poem dedicated
to Isaac Davis of Acton, first man
to fall in the American Revolution,
80 delegates from Acton, led by the
Rev. Sidney j. Willis, pastor of the
Universalist church in West and
South Acton, paid a visit to Capt.
Ripley at the navy yard yesterday.
Capt. Ripley received his visitors
aboard the Constitution. Following
short prayer by Rev. MIR. Willis, the
compliments of the town of Acton
were formally presented to the naval
officer. Capt. Ripley then presented
Rev. Mr.. Willis a gold headed cane
made from the historic pieces of
wood by Reuben L. Reed of Acton.
On the head of the cane was engraved
Presented to Rev. Sidney J. Willis
by Capt. Charles T. Ripley, chief of
the police, United States Navy Yard,
Boston and other friends" The cane
was inlaid with 40 pieces of historic
wood, each piece numbered and re-
corded in a catalog. Should Mr.. Will
lis wish to tell the history of the va
rious pieces of wood, allowing three
minutes to each, it would take him
over two hours. The cane rested in a
silk lined case made from woods
from Faneuil Hall. On the top of the
case were inlaid two flags and a
shield The stars in the flag were
made from the platform on which the
children stood, who formed the living
flag at G.. A. r. encampment in 1904.
Among the battles represented by the
bits of wood were Bunker Hill, Lex
ington, Niagara Falls, Gettysburg
and Winchester.
In presenting the cane Capt.
Ripley, who has long been an en-
thusiastic collector of historic woods,
said that the cane represented Am
erican history from the landing Of
the Pilgrims down to the present day.

The first count of the Caledonian
Grand Popular Voting Contest at st.
JOhnsbury consummated Saturday
evening and the identity of those who
are first to enter into the race was
brought wildly before the people.
The judges, Messrs. H. w. Randall,
y. B. Campbell and w. A. Wright
who, as disinterested parties, have
kindly consented to count the votes
at each period, were promptly on
hand. From the interest shown in
this city and vicinity we feel that
our efforts in securing this contest
are being appreciated. The enthusiast
tic cooperation of the merchants
permits US to announce that we be-
lieVe that this contest will be second
only to the national election next
month. What is particularly pleas
ing is the number of contestants.
The judges awarded the first spec
ial gold prize ($1O) to Miss Ethel
Murphy. This young lady tells us
that she was employed but a few
hours on the two preceding days of
the count. This should be an object
lesson to any lady who has or may
desire to take advantage of the op-
portunity.

Perfect
Electrically Welded
Fence

It's time to repair old and erect
new fence. Do it right. Use the
welded fence that has no clamps to
rust and no slack wires to slip and =
get out of place, spelling the eff
fciency as we'll as the appearance
of the fence. Use a fence with
stay wires as large as line wires.
In buying Pittsburgh, your money
buys heavier wires than are used
in other makes. This means long
er life and better satisfaction. Con-
slider this fact: From 6a6 to 23&0
and more of the weight per rod of
any wrapped or clamped fence is
in the 7OrabS or clamps, which add
nothing to strength but detract from
appearance, effectiveness and dura-
bility. Why pay for zOaSte wire
which adds nothing but dead zOezeAt
and c0stg A fence is like a chain,
no stronger than its weakest link.
