Dynamite Demonstration

Present day agriculture differs from the old in many ways, In the oiden times the removal of stones from the rocky acres was So formidable an un- dertaking that the task was seldom at tempted. With the use of dynamite, at a small expense, this and some other lines of agriculture are made easy. The state board of agriculture has arranged a series of demonstrations, one for each county, showing how stone blasting, stump pulling, ditch digging, tree setting and sub-soiling may be done. Such a demonstration will be given on the farm of w. :. Warren at Eastford on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1918, to com mence promptly at l o'clock.
 You gre most cordially invited 10 be present and witness this demonstra- tion. Bring your friends and extend the notice.

When She Wakes up.

Once a woman realizes that 1t is a very awkward and wasteful method to wash dishes with the drainboard on her right and the dishes piled on her left, she will have the drainboard changed to her left and stack her dishes on the right side where they will be most quickly get-at-able And if she will go at her dishwashing job with the idea Of eliminating every minute of waste-labor she will also quickly learn the importance of ad- justing her dishpan to the right height.
