Throughout the national forests the
rangers are posting the roads with per
manent guide signs which tell distances
and directions, especially at forks and
crossroads The signs are usually put
up in the winter when other work tends
to be light. On some forests the rangers
go on snowshoes, dragging loaded sleds,
and nail the sgnbosrds to the roadside
trees.

ENTERPRISE PAID THEM.

In one Iowa county last year the
loss from hog cholera was 20 per cent
less than in any county in that part
of the state. This copdition is directly
due to the campaign which was car.
ried on under the supervision of a
county expert. So satisfactory were
the results of this campaign that this
same county has been selected as the
test county for hog cholera work the
coming season, in which the county ex.
pert is to receive the assistance of Il
representative of the federal depart
ment of agriculture, specialist from
the state agricultural college and well
known veterinarian of the state. This
is mighty good illustration Of the
truth that people who dust around and
help themselves usually get help of a
valuable type. if anybody gets it at all.

T H E STALLION
d" SCOTLAND"

How much the name has to do with
it we cannot say, but certainly, go where
you WILL no stallion can be found with
the magnificent contour of form, free
and easy action when called upon, or
fine trotting gait, if urged, equal to the
stallion of above name, bred and owned
by Mr.. Battell of Middlebury.
Mr.. Battell keeps here four stations,
all Of them valuable and all young; but
none of them equal to the one first
mentioned, which, so far as we know
every one who has seen, without hest
tation, declares to be the handsomest
horse in the World. No exceptions
are admitted.
But, perhaps, better than this is the
fact that his first colts, only two years
of age, and of which there are but
three, excel equally in their ability to
trot.
Scotland has full brother of about
the same size that perhaps may equal
Scotland 5 gait, but cannot surpass that
of his colts.

Some loved and loving spirits day by

On Saturday, July 25, 1914, just at
eventide another went, when John Will
liam Sears was called to the vast
beyond after more than years illness.
He was born in North Ferrisburg on
March %, 1858, the son of Zeb and
Sarah Sears, being one of large fam
lily of children, of whom only one
brother, Oliver, and one sister, Sarah,
survive him.
His early life was spent in his home
town, he then going west to Kansas,
then returning and after spending some
time in Salisbury, Huntington and
Weybrdge, settled in Middlebury,
where he worked at his trade as carpen-
ter, finally going to Starksboro and
farming for awhile but on account of i'll
health being obliged to sell his farm
and returning here.
Besides his wife lie leaves one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Eta M. Harrington, and
three sons, William E., Burley W., of
this town and Carl w, of Vergennes.
His life was an ideal home one, he
never trying to push to the fore but al
ways ready and willing to do the small
things and all things for any one and
never complaining. He was not men,
Der of any organization or lodge. Even
in the past year his patience in his suf-
fering has been remarkable.

home Tuesday afternoon at two clock

MRS. WOODROW WILSON DEAD.

MRS. WOODROW WILSON DEAD.
Washington, August 6. Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, wife of the president of
the United States, died at the White
House at 5 O'Clock this afternoon.
Death came after brave struggle of
months against Bright's disease with
complications.
The president was completely un-
nerved by the shock and his grief
was heartrending. He bore up well
under the strain, however, and devoted
himself to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson was
unconscious. Her illness took turn
for the worse shortly before l O'Clock
in the afternoon and from then on she
gradually grew weaker.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
were the president and their three
daughters, DR.. Cary T. Grayson, U. S.

just outside a door were Secretary Nc
Adoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr..

Caring for Cut Glass.

In washing cut glass. especially that
which is deeply cut, never use hot water.
IL you do, the thin places will heat so
much more suddenly than the thick por-
tions that they will expand quickly and
break the glass. Have your cut glass In
warm room for several hours before
washing it, The water should be Just
warm, and in il should be put gen.
erous amount Of household ammonia.
Each piece should he put into the bowl
separately and rolled over quickly. so
that the entire surface may become wet
at once. II the cutting is at all deep. rub
all crevices with a stiff brush covered

Dress Accessories Costly

II am sure | spend just as much time
and money on the little things that don't
count as ] do for my suits and dresses
and hats" complained one woman who
was having difficulty In finding a moder-
ate priced collar dressy enough for her
new crepe de chine blouse.
1t is very true that one must spend a
large portion Of ones dress allowance for
all these little accessories, but instead
Of not counting at all they are wonder
fully important
There is a very great difference between
the woman who is nicely dressed and the
woman who is entirely chic" The for
mer. perhaps, will have well made clothes,
good hats and furs, and as rule look
very charming, but unless she pays an
infinite amount of attention to all the
tiny details and allows herself an ample
margin in her dress allowance for the
small things, such as neckwear, stock
ings. gloves, etc. she will never achieve
perfection so far as matters sartorial are
concerned.
TO be perfectly turned out a woman
must spend no inconslderabe sums on
the less remarkable items of her attire.
For instance, the fashion for lace collars.
jabots and frillings of all kinds attached
to blouses and costumes means contin-
uous renewal of delicate laces, while
pretty blouses, hats for every occasion,
belts, ribbons and ties by the end Of a
year will be found to have cost as much,
II not more, than the usual sum spent on
costumes and gowns.
However, there is no need 10 begrudge
this fact, for any expenditure on pretty
small things is we'll rewarded by the inn
mense difference made TO the whole APP
pearance, and the satisfaction thereby
entailed
