tors invite all citizens to meet in an
informal reception at the Summer

Portable, commodious, and beautiful
school house which has been provided

A BUSY WEEK.
County Agent StimsOn is Ordering
Chemicals For Fertilizers For
Farmers

County Agent S. n. Simson of the
Caledonia County Farmers associa-
ton finds this an extremely busy sea-
son of the year because farmers are
now ordering their chemicals or
fertilizers. Mr.. Stimson has very
low quotations on chemicals, prob
ably lower than any individual farm
er can possibly obtain, and he is
ready to show the farmers why a
great saving will be effected by pur-
chasing chemicals instead of mixed
| fertilizer which neceSsitates paying
for a large amount of filler. Mr..
Stimson has already received orders
for something over three hundred
tons.
The programme for this week be-
ginning Monday was as follows:
Monday at Walden where he met the
farmers at C. IT. Eastman's; Tuesday
he attended an all day farmers meet
| ing at Hardwick; this morning he is
at the hotel in DanVille, but will be
at st. Johnsbury for a short time in
the afternoon; Thursday morning he
will be at Lyndonville for short
time and then go to Wheelock for
the day; Friday will be spent at Lyn-
donville and in the afternoon there
will be a community meeting of
farmers at Lyndon Institute which
will also be attended by the students
of the Agricultural school; Satur-
day Mr.. Stimson will be at his office,
38 Railroad street, st. Johnsbury,
| Telephone 218-W.
As soon as the canvass for
chemicals has been completed the
agent intends to take up the matter
of grass seed, seed oats and seed po-
tatoes with a view to getting better
prices than prevail when purchased
by individuals in small lots.
The booklet recently published
will be mailed to any farmer inter-
ested in it. Membership fee to the
Association from now until May,
1915 is ST. Application for member
ship or for booklet may be sent to j.
w. Titcomb, Secretary, Lyndonville,

The big game of the Academy

of the game, Montpelier had the

care to show up to play for his

for that matter, should permanently

has spirit, if not experience.
The Academy team as a whole
played a remarkable game against
heavier, better drilled and better

Finally Captured EAGLE.

After defying q score of traps and
as many guns of farmers, who have
sought vainly to impose summary
sentence for the. loss of hundreds OF
chickens over a period Of six months,
Old Badly, a monster eaC'e, was
caught by man with a lasso. He
lay waiting in the shadow OF his
chicken house for the chicken thief
for more than eight hours. The bird
swooped down shortly after daybreak.
The lasso was thrown around the
eagles neck. The man wanted to
capture the bird alive. but it fought
SO desperately that he was forced to
shoot it. The eagle measures eight
feet seven inches from tip to tip, and
weighs 73 pounds.

full Than Most Youngsters We
Ever Heard Of.

A popular member of a certain
school board tells good story of a
certain schoolboy who enjoys the
unique distinction of having attended
one school for II years without being
once absent or late. In evidence Of
this, the youth is the proud owner Of
IL medals. When the eleventh medal
was conferred the boys mother was
asked whether her son ever had any
illness.
ooh, yes" she replied.
"Measles?"

"Whooping cough?"

able to make so remarkable a record
at school?"
well, he generally had 'em in
his holidays" was the proud mothers

NEW ADJUTANT GENERALS RECORD

Gen. Henry P. Mccain, the new
head Of the adjutant generals depart
ment of the United States army, has
had rather an interesting experience.
He was an infantry officer and was
serving in Alaska when the Spanish
war began. He was sent on the first
expedition to the Philippines, and had
only engaged in the first brush the
troops had in the islands when he fell
sick of the fever that affected SO
MANY of the Americans when they
first went to the tropics. He was in
val;ded home. and had concluded that
his army career was over, as he saw
little hope of promotion in the future.
Then congress passed law which
nroyided that appointments to the
adiutant and inspector generals de-
nartments should be by competitive
examination. AS they say at West
Point and Annapolis, Mccain began
to bone" for that examination. Be-
ing a student, and having been taught
how to study at West Point, he was
able to pass the best examination and
corps. He has been to the Philippine
Wood in fighting the Moros.

STICKS TO HIS POST

Hon. Myron T. Herrick, American
ambassador to France at the time of
the outbreak of the war, though he
has been joined during the past week
by his successor, whose appointment
was made previous to the start of hos
tilities, was the only diplomat to re-
main in Paris after the French gov
eminent removed it's headquarters to
Bordeaux. Mr.. Herrick has been re-
quested by the United States govern
ment to remain at the Paris embassy
for a time, until his successor can get
the run of affairs, and he has consent
ed to do so, believing he can best
serve the interests of the United
States by remaining and looking after
the welfare of Americans. Many
banking institutions which have the
money of Americans on deposit would
have transferred their cash if he had
not remained. In the event of the
surrender of Paris Mr.. Herrick, as the

NATURAL BORN FIGHTING MAN

Winston Churchill, first lord of the
British admiralty, has all the stamp of
genius and high daring, and has
crowded more into his forty years
than any man of his day. He has
been through five wars; he has writ
ten seven books, one of them being
the biography of his father, which
ranks among the first half-dozen in
the English language; he was first
elected to the house Of commons as
a Conservative, but has been a Lib
eral minister of the crown for nearly
nine years, and he has proved him
self one of the most active and pow
erful as well as sagacious and far
seeing of modern English statesmen.
He has journeyed in most parts of the
world, spent long months in the sad
die, and yet by some process that
must be called genius combines the
literary style of ripe scholar with
the voracious habits of a man of
action. This country he knows well,
both by reason of his relationships:
