NEW ELECTRIC POWER FOR HART
FORD.
The announcement of the Inter-
national Paper company several
weeks since that it would shortly be
in the field as purveyors OF electric
power, has been followed up by
additional details that indicate that
the town of Hartford has an oppor-
tunity for growth and development
that will easily make it the manu-
featuring metropolis of the east side
Of the state. "A holding company
will undoubtedly be formed to con-
troll the 1000 horsepower which will
be available after January 4, 1913,
with the object Of using it within
this town. Already the greater Ver--
mont movement has interested
several manufacturers in the project.

colors had been adopted by the Itat

used, the new uniform has been cut

High Pressure bays.

Men and women alike have to
work necessarily with brain and hand
to hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business, the
wants of the family, the require
ments of society, more numerous.
The first effect of the praiseworthy
effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in weak
ened or debilitated condition of The
nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme
cases in complete nervous DrOstra-
ton. 1t is clearly seen that what is
needed is what will sustain the sys-
TEN, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge
we can recommend Hoods Sarsapar-
lila for this purpose. 1t acts on all
the vital organs, builds up the whole
system, and fits mean and women
for these high pressure days.

Cities 81 Third Glass and Rural
schools Meet Next Friday.

The annualiachool meetings Of all
the school districts on the rural dis
tricts and cities of the third class
will be held Friday, April II. Al
this time the Questions confronting
the district for the coming year will
be decided, the length of the term
fixed, the preferences of patrons In
the conduct of the school board, the
amount OF money needed for the
year estimated and all other pFcbe
lens that usually come up before
the annual meeting will be discuss
ed.
In accordance with recent state
law all the districts must have at
least seven months of school, but the
question of a uniform date for be-
ginning in the fall is even of more
importance. An effort is being made
to have this practically uniform over
the state and it is really more es-
sential that each county should at
least observe its own particular time
in this respect. The state and coun-
ty superintendent are working to-
gether to secure this result and 1t
will be up to the annual school meet
ings to decide upon the date for
starting the schools in their respec-
tive districts.
Monday, September 8, is the date
selected as the best day for opening
the schools and those who are agitat-
ing the matter are asking that no
schools be started later than this. A
week earlier would make no ma
terial difference. The reason for
this is that the bi-monthly examina-
ton questions are sent out to the
schools to be used and it is best that
they all have them at the same time.
In making out the reports for the
county it is also essential that the
reports all be in promptly and this
is impossible if several of the schools
begin two or three weeks later than
September g. OF course the schools
beginning on September would even
stand a better chance of getting In
on time and there is no objection
to this date.
