He leaves a wife and three children.
 On the morning of July 4 after the battle General Meade issued gener- al order congra tu1ating the Army of the Potomac on the victory won at Gettysburg. The order as printed in the Republican Farmer follows: Headquarters, Army of the Potomac.
 Near Gettysburg. July 4.
 General Order, No. 6s-The com manding general in behalf of the country thanks the Army of. the Po- tornac for the glorious result of the recent opera tions. The enemy, SUI perior in numbers and flushed with the pride of a successful invasion, at tempted to overcome and destroy this army. Bah1ed and defeated he has now withdrawn from the contest. The. p7-ivationse and fatiguesi the army has endured, and the heroic courage and gaI1antry displayed will be matters of history to be>ever. remembered. Our task is not yet aecomp plished, and the commanding general looks to the army for greater efforts to drive from our soil every vestige of the presence of the invaders. It is right and proper that we should on such occasion re- turn our. grateful thanks to the Al mighty disposer of events, That in the goodness of His Providence He has thought fit to give victory to the cause of the just.

Rescues Elderly WON an

Tbs following from the Montpelier
Journal will be of interest to Middle
bury people as the young man is well
known here:
Friends of James D. Kenworrhy,
the porter of the Montpelier House,
are thinking of making application in
his behalf for a Carnegie medal. Yes
terday he made his third rescue at the
Central Vermont railrord station.
1.-Two elderly ladies had boarded the
S:37 train last night bound south and
made the discovery after the train had
begun to back out that it would not
carry them to Burlington, their in
tended destination.
While the train was increasing its
speed and nearing to the end of the
station platform, the women attempted
to jump from the steps. One of them fell
and would probably have gone under
the wheels but for Kenworthy, who
dragged her back on the platform. The
other landed safely on the platform.
Both refused to give their names
but thanked the porter profusely. Less
than month ago, he pulled a man
from the track barely saving his life,
and figured in another rescue before
that.

ury, Agriculture and Commerce, sup
ported by an opinion OF the Attorney
General. This means Il at manuf &C.
turers of meat foods will new be amend

The farreaching and ~ di al action
taken was to revoke d regulation for
the enforcement OF II e food end drugs

their producers from the operation of

Attorney General for an opinion as to
whether the provisions of the food and
drugs act were applicable to meat pro-
ducts prepale ed under the meat inspec
ton law, and Mr.. McReynolds replied
that while the two statutes overlap to
some extent neither was inconsistent
with the 9th II, nor did Congress intend
that one should be the substitute for
the other
The Depal tment of Agriculture now
has t le power to treat meat and meat
products exactly like any other food

in no way interfere with the powers
Of the department under the meat

regulations give the government con-

establishments.
Mat inspectors had no power under
the meat inspection law to seize meat
or nut food products which were
eitLer spoiled or adulterated after they
had left federally inspected estab-
lishment. The only remedy to be had
by the department was the criminal
prosecution of any one selling bad meat,
and even then the meat could not be
confiscated or its sale stopped.
Under the new decision it now will
be possible for the government to seize
spoiled meat and prevent the sale of
bad or adulterated meat and meat
products when in interstate commerce.
Manufacturers will be compelled to
comply with the provisions of the food
and drugs act with respect to labelling,
and prosecution and seizure for mis-
branding and adulteration will be pos

Chauffeur Wrecks Car in Joy
Ride.

Lynn, June %. After wrecking a
new $4,000 touring car owned by Mrs.
Estele S. Clark of SO Bay State road,
which he had appropriated for a joy
ride at midnight Saturday, Richard
Maguson, Mrs. Clark chauffeur, de-
serted the wreck and four companions
on the Nahant boulevard, near Little
Nahant, fleeing across the marshes in
the direction of Lynn, and his where
abouts are still a mystery.
Maguson's companions We're three
women and man, whose identity the
police of Lynn, Boston and the Metro
politan Park force are endeavoring to
learn.
They were picked up near the
wrecked car shortly after 4 o'clock
this morning by Thomas p. Curtis of
Beacon street, Boston, husband of Mrs
T. P. Curtis, the suffragist leader, who
has a summer residence at Nahant. and
taken to the Revere Beach and Lynn
station, little the worse for their ex-
perience, none being injured.
The accident occurred at a turn in
the boulevard which Maguson was APP
parently unable to negotiate, the ma
chine smashing into a heavy board
fence, demolishing fifty feet of it
after which it plunged over an embank-
ment, eventually stopping close to the
tracks of the Nahant and Lynn street
railroad, several feet from the boule-
ward
The entire front of the machine was
demolished and the damage was esti-
mated at $500.
Mrs. Clark was apprised of the ac-
cident at O'Clock this morning, when
she was notified of the wreck by a
local garage. She at once communi-
Gated with the garage where the ma
chine was kept and learned that Ma
guson took the car out at midnight

Crushes Woman 10 Death.

Baltimore, Md, Jure %. Mrs. Char
lotte j. Cunning of Tidioule. Pa, was
killed and her son, Ralph H. Cummings
of Baltimore was seriously injured this
evening when the steering gear of an
automobile in which they were riding
refused to work and the car overturned
and fell on the occupants.
Another automobile, which was close
upo Mr.. Cummings machine, could not
be stopped in time to prevent it from
running over the Frustrated bodies. 1t
is thought, however, that Mrs. Cum
ings, whose head was crushed, was
killed before being run over. The acct
dent occurred on Park Heights avenue,
near Pimlico.
Mrs. Cummings was 81 years old and
was the widow of former State Sena-
tor Henry H. Cummings of Pennsylvania.

A CALL TO SERVICE.

The baccalaureate address delivered al
Middlebury by President ohm NJ. Thomas
was jem among utterances o this kind.
1t deserves a far wider application than
the circumstances permitted. 1t will d.
peal with equal force to the students }
Norwich, and perhaps with a great er
urgency to the young men and wome, }
the State university, because tn
greater proportion of Vermonters
among them and the State character If
their institution. But to the Yer
monters among the Middlebury stu
dents thirty-siX per cent. if we re-
member correctly this sermon de-
livered to them, at the time of con-
summating an achievement and begin
ming another chapter of life, should
prove a guide to be followed and a
memory never to be forgotten.
President Thomas exhorts young men
and women to forego the sordid re-
wards and take up the life of the teacher,
not in great institutions of learning but
in the hil-towns and back-woods settle
ments of their native State. He calls
upon them to go out and live and die
with the people of these communities
and teach them and make their lives
better and usher in the prosperity which
greater enlightenment is sure to bring.
He refers to the volunteers who went
to serve in armies for great cause, and
demands of them that they serve in a
great cause now, and here. A lesser
man would have babe them do this for
their Alma Mater that they might be
worthy of it, and make its great name
greater and its fine traditions more
glorious. President Thomas steers clear
of any such customary clap-trap and
lays the compulsion upon them for a
larger object of loyalty. the State that
is "Home. "
President Thomas does not attempt to
say in detail how this great service shall
be rendered. He does not forestall the
work assigned to the commission now
investigating Vermont's educational
conditions, but sums up briefly con-
ditions which might be assumed to exist
in remote agricultural communities any
where. He then outlines in very gen.
eral but nightly inspiring way, the OPP
portunities which open up before the
young man or woman who will devote
his life to this service.
There is broader significance to this
message from the academic world. 1t
is as true now as it ever was that tilling
of soil and raising of crops and all the
work on broad acres is the very sub
structure which upholds our whole ac-

FRIDAY, JUNE Fl, 1913.
WILSON COMING QUIETLY.

Windsor, June %. Folks in this town
and in Cornish, N. H., across the river
were badly disappointed Saturday when
the news was broken to them that there
is to be no public reception and general
holiday for President Woodrow Wilson
when he arrives with his family next
Saturday. Everybody had been looking
forward to June % for months.
The only cheering feature of the an
nouncement was that it is quite possible
that a gala holiday-with parade,
speechmaking, public reception, band
concert and fire works-wll be held
after Congress finishes with the tariff
and the President comes up for a few
weeks stay in Harlakenden House,
Col. Winston Churchill's summer es-
tate on the hills of Cornish, which he
has leased for the summer.
The abandonment of the plans to
make President Wilson's initial visit to
Windsor and Cornish memorable one
was done at the request of the President
himself. In self-eXplanatory letter,
received Saturday through United
States Senator Hollis, the President
says
At is certainly very kind and friendly
of the citizens of Cornish and Windsor
to give Us a reception when my family
anu reach Naw Hampshire.
II wonder if they would be willing
to arrange it FIR some subsequent
time Mrs. Wilson will be busy imme-
diately upon our first arrival getting the
household in order. | am afraid it will
over fatigue Ter.
81 am hoping TO be able to get up to
Cornish several times fol the week end
during the summer. Perhaps the re-
ception so generously thougl ca can
be arranged for one OF my later visits.

AUTOS BARRED. REVERE is

Beach Has 10000 Visitors With
out an ccident.

More than $50, 900 persons, the largest
crowd of the seastn. visited Revere
Beach Saturday. The day was ideal
for bathing and $500 persons also the
record number for the season enjoyed a
dip in the surf. A large crowd watched
the bathers, and for the first time this
year the beach pres ented a midsummer
scene. Automob les and other vehicles
were barred from the boulevard, and
the roadway wal utilized by the pedes-
trians.
Ocean avenue was G osed by the town
officials, and large wooden beams at
Shirley avenue and Revere street bore
signs informing tn motorists that the
street was closed for repairs. Shut off
from Ocean avenue and barred from the
boulevard by ruling of the metropolitan
park commission, the autoists were in
dignant, as they were compelled to
travel hlough Revere street, which is
narrow and iusty.
Chairman Walter T. White of the Re-

cess 1t is practical, not theoretical,

Another one Of the activities of Cen
ter county grange is its fire insurance
company. This was organized nearly
thirty-nine years ago, and for that
time the average cost of insurance per
500, including survey, premium and
policy, has been 2-3 cents. Here
again the organization is representa-
tive and cooperative. Only grange
members can be insured. If man
loses his grange membership he must
withdraw from the company. No one
Is eligible to office in the company I'M
less he has property insured Each
subordinate grange elects one director,
and the directors elect the officers. The
county grange elects three auditors,
who audit the accounts of the direc-
tors. The plan works out admirably.
Besides this cooperative insurance, the
grange is developing a scheme Of CO.
operative buying which is already saw
ing dollars to the grange farmers OF
Center county BY buying in large
quantities and by the use of trade
cards on approved houses a large saw
ing is made on the necessaries Of life,
and in this manner the cost Of living
has been materially reduced.
This cooperative work in a Pennsyl-
vania county can be duplicated in al
most any county in any state where
the grange is strong and where such
operations are wisely and economical
ly manager. But businesslike man
agement there must be. There must
also be a willingness on the part Of
farmers to get together in this way
and stay together. And yet it is the
one thing that kills attempted coop
eraiOn in many places-inability to
hang together through thick and thin
and distrust of one another But this
IS not a characteristic of the grange

Why should it be of any?

HAS PLAN FOR BIG TELESCOPE.

Hartford, Ct, June %. Austin c..
Durham, the venerable ex-president of
the Hartford Electric Light Company,
who is widely known as an electrical
wizard and civicist, announced tonight
that he was going to Lynn, Mass, this
week, with Prof William Robb, of
Troy, to discuss with number of
prominent astronomers the ACCESSIBILITY
of forming a society to construct and
operate new kind of telescope.
Mr.. Durham has for some time held
that with sufficiently strong telescope,
to be several times the size of the pres
ent largest, set up in California, and to
be operated by electricity, certain
astral theories might be substantiated
and the causes for the formation or
disintegration of astronomical bodies
might be discovered.

Especial Correspondence
The grange activities of Center coun-
ty, Pa, are noteworthy. There are
twenty-four subordinate oranges in the
county and Pomona grange. which is
the center of the grange movement in
that central county Of the state. The
grange hall. located at Center Hall,
Pa. is the headquarters of several
lines of cooperative work, all of which
are eminently successful. 1t has be-
come the evident sign of new era of
educational and social life in the little
village of about 500 souls because the
benefits that radiate from it have
spread beyond the narrow limits of the
town and have affected the community
for miles around.
Among the noteworthy activities of
Center county grange are the fair and
encampment grounds. owned by the
grange and Incorporated. Grange park
embraces twenty eight acres and cost
the grange 5000 Every year it holds
fair and an encampment. Last year
there were 5000 entries in the eXhibi-
ton hall on the grounds. and a small
cash premium is paid on every article
placed on exhibition. and paid when
the fair opens. No blanks. no disap-
pOintment, no contest. no prizes, no
horse racing, no gambling. Public
meetings are held daily in the large
auditorium, addressed by eminent
speakers. and every evening entertain
ments are given there by reputable
companies. In the encampment are a
thousand farmers and their families
living in tents furnished by the grange
fair association, thus combining en-
! joyment and instruction.
This grange also operates an extern
sive rural telephone service. the com
pany being incorporated with $4,000
capital, and the plan of cooperation
and representation rsns through the
whole scheme. The central company
! pays all taxes and makes reports to
the state and national governments.

and charges stockholders Il yearly
rental of SO per phone and nonstock
holders $12. There are now about 400
phones on the grange lines in the
county. \ branch company may he
organized with not less than six
phones the branch company erecting
its own pole line. Each such branch
elects one director to the central COM
pany, and the county grange elects six
directors and makes all the rules to
govern the company. The county
grange is a subscriber to every branch
company, the price of the shares be
ing $40 each. 1t may be interesting
to know that the cost is about $50 per
mile for wire, poles, brackets and set
ting, the price varying with the cost of

tivity, method and ideals of life, and all
civilized existence. Compared with the
Importance of the great products of the
soil which support human life, minerals
and manufactures might almost be
called accessories.
If there are degrees in so fine thing
as work well done, it is likely that for
great numbers of men, the noblest and
most enobling work is, and will always
be, that done on broad acres. AS gen.
eral rule, however, the opportunities
for excessive remuneration lie in the
centers of population. There wealth is
more congested and opportunities for
wealth are greater. But unless the
agricultural parts are made livable and
the outlook for the toilers there en-
couraging, the great communities can
not retain their condition of prosperity
and comfort.
Modern life is a kind of reciprocity.
Cities and towns owe a debt to the
country communities. We must do our
part to support the country schoolhouse.
We must do our part to make the higher
education accessible to the country
boys and girls. We must not educate
away from these communities, Bat
rather it behooves US to send back tt cir
sons and send out our sons to make
their life as fine and enlightened and n
spring as God meant it to be. -Burlin =
