This weather is phenomenal and
so was the exhibit made by the people
of McCrea at the County Fair. It oc-
cupied a space Skis and was admired
by all persons who viewed it. The
soil of McCrea is noted for it's ability
TO produce variety Of produ IT'S of
tremendous size and unexcelled quail
ty and it's exhibit at the County Fair
more than justified this notable fact.
The production of this wonderful ex-
hibit is not only due to the unexcel-
led richness of her soil, but also her
courageous citizens (Who braved the
unfavorable weather to make the ex-
hibit) and her incessant workers in
the two Sunday schools within her
borders who are unse1fish in their de-
sire to work for the good of those
about them; as, the prize is to be
equally divided between the two
schools It is a very satisfying fact
to realize the interest the children
took in securing products to enter in
the exhibit; they should be praised
and encouraged in such great work.
The persons that worked to make this
exhibit are willing that people should
know where the prize money is ex
pended; are those that received the
prize money of the county exhibit at
the state fair willing to do the same?
Three cheers for McCrea, for the PEG.

The County Assessor BiIl-Thirty.
seventh Article

i The bill establishing a county as.
SCISSOR IN each county, in place of the
23OO or more local assessors. which
was submitted to the last two legisla-
lures, and will be again submitted to
the next legislature, is too voluminous
to be here set forth in detail. Many
verbal, but otherwise immaterial,
changes in the existing laws are ne
cessary to make them conform to the
proposed measure, and most of the
sections of the bill are of that nature.
The salient and most important fea-
lures of the bill are as follows:
1st. The abolition of the office of
local assessor Except in cities where
it exists by virtue of special law or
charter) and the substitution in it's
place of the office Of a county asses
sor in each county These county
assessors in the first instance are to
be appointed by the county boards of
the respective counties at their regu-
lar meeting in July 1913, and hold
their Office until the general election
in 1918, when, and every four years
thereafter, such assessors are to be
elected by popular vote the same as
other county officers are elected. But
cities which retain a city assessor un-
der their charters cannot participate
in the election of a county assessor.
End. Such county assessor must be
a resident Of the county, and must
give bond for the faithful discharge
of his duties
Bird Where necessary. and under
proper restrictions, the county asses
sor with the consent of the tax COM
mission can appoint deputies to assist
him, not exceeding one deputy for
each 5000 Of the population of the
county excluding the cities aforesaid.
All assessors and deputies are to be
under the direction and supervision
Of the tax commission.
4th. The assessor must devote his
entire time to the gathering of infOr.
nation and data for and to the MAX
ing of his assessment He cannot hold
any other office nor engage in any
other business.
9Th. He is to receive reasonable

THE AWAKENING OF THE FARM

The litter ior the farm woman has

Congress OF Farm Women. This move

parts of the wide world. In South Amer

there are already National organizations

had increased TO II with a membership of

as the pioueer national organization of
this kind. They have a national monthly

the United States organization, though in
a different way. Barring The Farmers
Wife. there Ia no paper in the country
devoted TO the interests Of women on
the farm though nearly every State has
from one 70 several mems farm papers
containing a Home Department edited by
women.
To the end of reaching the women on
the farms through these home editors,
there has been organized also an Inter

WATER POWER IN VERMONT.

From the st. JohnsDury Cakeoon'dh''
Tho Manchester IN. HI Union recent
ly published a very interesting article on

ceeds to show that 1t Is possible, ana
probably soon will be- developed in that
state 4p, 900 horsepower per year. In 9TH
er words only sixty-one per cent of the
possible development Of water power has
been made In New Hampshire.
The same census figures from which
he quoted conditions in hts state show
that Vermont has LIS water powers
which develop l70.276 horsepower per
year The figures for the undeveloped
water are not available. but assuming the
percentage Of developed water powers &c
be tho same as In New Hampshire I,
would be possible TO develop Ns.lA horse
power from Vermont streams each year
Assuming that It takes twenty tons OF

MAKE THE CELLAR SANITARY.

The cellar should be carefully kept at
all times. but never is its thorough reno
walton more imperative than in the
spring Fungous spores which have lain
dormant all winter are ready for growth
with the advent of warmer weather. I'm
used vegetables stored in the cellar must
receive attention lest decay render the
air impure.
After all food has been removed from
the storeroom all vegetable stores should
be examined and such varieties as no
longer appeal to the appetite should be
a, once removed Potatoes will still con-
tnue as a household supply. They should
be sorted ard the sprouts rubbed OFF
In those parts of the cellar used for
food or milk give the shelves and tables
a thorough scrubbing with hot water in
which washing soda. two tabiespoontuis
to 10 quarts. has been dissolved. Pay as
much attention to the underside OF the
shelves az to the upper. Wipe them with
cloths wrung from clean water. Movable
shelf boards, etc. should be carried out
and laid in the sun to dry. The air should
be allowed to circulate freely thSouRh the
cellar.
The next step Is 10 give the walls good
coat of whitewash. says Farm and Home.
This Is prepared by shaking two two
pound cans of whitewash lime In a pail.
Put the lime into the pail. add water

THE VOYAGERS.

They listened to wondrous music
In rooms that were planned for kings,
Beautiful notes from beautiful throats,
Sung as songbird sings,
They revelled in baths OF marble
Like the baths of ancient Rome.
Twas a wondrous trip on a wondrous
ship
The ship that never came home
Music and baths and splendor!
But where are the noble men
Saying goodbyes with glistening eyes
That never shall glisten again
They called It floating palace,
And they found It funeral urn,
Crowded by Fate with hero freight
The ship that can never return.
