As the company is ex- pected to be the greatest money mak- ing scheme which has ever been oper- ated in the town it is able to help out the other associations which use the room to meet in but cannot afford to voted to hold the annual dinner of the company at the Stratford Inn some time in January. The company went on record as favoring home in- dustry first, last and all the time and will buy everything possible in Strat- ford even if it does cost little more which is not expected. I twas the sense of the meeting that the company should prove itself benevolent in- stitution and at the same time return good dividends This would give Stratford residents with a surplus a chance to invest right here at home on sure thing and not be compelled to invest in wildcat magazine pro- positions and other schemes to rid the sinalf capitalist of his savings.

 Stratford, June 7.-The regular meeting of the stockholders of the Fresh Pond Mineral Water and Fer tilixing Company was held at Wilson's news room last night. There was a large attendance of the stockholders and the enthusiasm over the scheme appeared to be unabated. William Booth, the chemist of the company reported that on account of the heavy rainfall of the winter and spring the 1water in the pond had been so dilut- ed that It's mineral and curative con- stituents were SO weak that he feared if would be unadvisable to begin pumping this season. He also said that he was at work on an automatic machfne which would fill the bottles lpf mineral water taken from the pond. cork. seal and label them ready for delivery and that he hoped to have the machine ready for business in the fall. F. l.. Hanson, the secretary, re- .ceived % many calls for shares that he was obliged to buy a new set of books at Wilson's counter to make the records. Howard Beers, c. B., who has contracted to measure the water in the pond reported that he would wait for the water to fall be- fore he made his estimates. Charles E. Welles reported that on account of the unusually large percentage of
 men that he would be unable to find the required number of stale hen fruit to make the water acceptable to pur- chaeers- Ed Roberts favored delay in beginning operations as he has much blowing to do and believes that condi- ffons would be more favorable next spring. J. Emmet Beardsley who has the; contract for placing the cement lining to the pond after the water is pumped out reported that he was un- able to make contract with any of the big cement producers for the re- <Quired amount. About 100000 bags will be needed and he cannot be sure of obtaining mores than 50,0O0. The 1building boom this spring and the in- 4reased use of cement is given as the $eaDon for the shortage. Hon. w. H. Crawford advocated delay. He thought That when he, gets back to the legis- 3hfure this fall he would be able to let a blanket charter which would al- low the company not only to put up water, sell fertilizer, refine sewage md do the other things which would be necessity to run the company but Ilso to operate a bank, raise chickens.

years old the girls and boys dress alike,
except that one sees button on the top
OF each boys cap. After this age the lit
tie men dress exactly like their fathers,
in loose bloomer-like knee pants, while
the little girls wear the same style dresses
as their mothers. Even in sweltering
weather the little maids wear fourteen
articles OF clothing. including their caps,
yarn stockings and sabots. Instead of
contriving a way to appear slender, the
Marker women aim to look broad, and
so they not only wear a great many

Hague is the Washington, ID. c., OF Hoi-
land. Through the broad streets, built
up with palatial homes, no noise is heard
except the rumble of carriages or the
horns of touring cars. The fitness In
choosing this clean and quiet city for the
holding of peace conferences appeals to
travellers, for there is nothing distracting
in The Hague. But as il this serenity
were not forceful enough argument to
secure the blessing of universal peace,
the havoc and misery of war is displayed
most realistically in the great old political
prison adjoining the knights House,
where the peace conferences have been
held.
In that old stone prison there are nu-
merous instruments which were used to
cause indescribable torture during the
Spanish inquisition. Happily tourists who
would be sickened by the sight of such
horrors have their attention diverted from
these relics of the prison itself to the
demonstrative guide, who, with marked
accent and peculiar infection of voice.
explains how the terrible irons, screws
and mallets were used in bygone ages.
His manner is so tragic that travellers
cannot resist being amused by his dra-
matte efforts.

America. 1t is planned to make
the National Capital SO immaculate that
the real spotless town of Holland,
Brock, will not excel it in cleanliness.
And if such a condition comes to pass
the crowds of tourists who now visit
Washington will be Insignificant COM
pared with the throngs that will take
advantage of the opportunity to see
spotless town of modern times.
No American traveller would then
think of missing the sights of such a
city any more than the traveller in Hol--
land today thinks of leaving the Dutch
country without visiting Brock. Nova
days a city welcomes visitors for the
increase they bring to trade. but the
tourist business is what has changed
the Holland spotless town from the
home of millionaires to the village of
cheesemakers, shopkeepers and artificers.
The rich, who disliked the annoyance
of the curious throngs that intruded
upon the quietude of their homes, left
the little city for more secluded spots.
Those who chung to-their old homes
chung to their old customs, for the ac-
tivities OF the people still give the viii
lage a worldwide reputation for it's
neatness. Even the outsides and pave
ments Of the houses are secured every
day. Travellers have often reported that
they found women standing in the rain
under umbrellas doing this work. In the
streets there Is not q scrap Of paper,
a dead leaf or anything else Of tho
kind. for the watchful eyes Of the peo-
