Grinding began Monday on Angola
state farm, the big sugar place Of the
state penitentiary, and with any sort
of fair price for the sugar the state
board of control will get a large return
from this plantation The cane crop
is large and there is every indication
of an enormous yield. Since the over
flow of 1912, when Angola was flooded,
the big quarter of a million dollar
refinery has been practically idle, and
the state penitentiary has been busy
replanting the cane crop that was de-
stroyed. This work has been complet-
ed and full grinding will be gotten
from Angola this year. The cane crop
on Hope, Oakley and Monticello also
gives promise of being good.

ALL THAT CHANGED.

Last spring, good deal of money
was sent out of the parish for cabbage
plants, Since the Rev. s. L. Riggs has
gone into trucking, he has sold over
5000 plants, some of which have been
sold to outside people. He has be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 plants coming
on, and expects to sell them all, as
orders are already in for a great many.

FOOD PRICES RISING.
Even Beans Feel the Effect of the Eu
rOpean War.

The effect of the war in Europe is be
ing felt increasingly everywhere
throughout this country, not only by
the wholesale and retail business
houses but by the consumers. Scarcely
an article of foodstuffs but has gone
up in price whether the increase APP
pears to be based upon reason or not.
travelling man for wholesale
sugar house who was here yesterday re-
ceived a telegram withdrawing all
quotations. The same is true of grain
products If there are any quotations
they are subject to instant recall
Even that staple article of food -
beans-has been raised in price and is
apparently on its way to take first
place with srloin steak. In one week
the price has jumped at wholesale from
$2.35 to $500 barrel and the war
has hardly begun.
From this data, if it proves true that
the war is u long one, it will not be
difficult to figure out what the cost of
crackers and milk for one meal for a
family of five will amount to. The ans
wer will be on the wrong side of the
ledger of any man whose income is not
indicated by five figures.

REAL oLD-TIME CLOWNS.
Will Be Seen Here With Robinson's
Famous Shows.

In the days Of the old one ring cir
Gus the clown was the principal figure.
Beyond doubt he was the most popu
lar idol of the amusement loving public.
When the three, four and fivering
shows came into vogue, the decadence
of the clown began. His audience was
so far away, he was such an insignfi-
cant figure IN the vast canopy, that his
vocation was gone, and he became but
pantomine, with no opportunity to
display the genius of the old days.
The Robinson s Famous Shows have
revived the real clown of the days
when he was in. his glory. There is
just as much talent, just as much
genius, given the chance to display it,
as there ever was, and the genuine
comedians who don the white and har-
lequin with the Robinson Famous
Shows are given full play, and never
fail to create the roars of merriment
that convulsed our forefathers in the
days of the old wagon shows.
Billy Lightfoot, the most droll, ire
sistable genius that ever ambled about

carefully selected fun-makers, who viii
make every moment one of uproariOus
fun during the entire performances.

The Twin State Gas & Electric com

the possibilities of thunder storms af-
ter what has been done to the equip.
ment of the concern in and about Brat
tleboro by the last three storms of that
variety. Five transformers, two of
them very large, have been put out of
commission, and this means heavy ex-
pense. Previous to these storms the
company had not lost two transformers
in five years which leads the company
officials to the opinion that the sto, ms
have been more severe this year or that
there is inx on its trail.
In spite of this, however, the con-
pany is continuing to increase its
chances of losing more transformers Ivy
extending the lines and adding new
customers here and elsewhere. The
linemen are working toward Dummol-
ston with the feed wire that it to fur
nish the "iuice' to illuminato the
streets of Newfane and cause the dis
carding of many lamps in residences in
the shire town of the county. The street
lamps there have not been located yet
by the town authorities, who are con.
sidering increasing the number, first
decided upon from eight to IS. The
lamps used in the streets there are to
be 40 candle power instead of 80, the
size used here. The courthouse was
the first building wired, and since then
several private residences have been
prepared for this form of illumination
The company expects, with an ordi
nary run of luck, to "turn on the
juice" in Newfane in two weeks.

What Rural Schools Will Sometime Be

According TO Farm and Fireside f.
PI Claxton, United States commissioners
Of education, has aligned himself with
those who have vision of what rural
schools must sometime be, Following
is Mr.. Claxton's idea: "a,
- Every rural school will one day
have attached to it farm of twenty
or thirty acres provided with house
for the teacher and the teachers fam
lily. This farm will be a kind of model
farm, if properly operated by the
teacher, and center of the agricul-
tural and social life of the district.
And, he might add, when the time
comes the examination of the teacher
for his certificate may safely be con-
fined to his ability to manage this farm
and to make it produce.
