A Thriving, Practical, Educational Insti'
 tuition

Miss Sarah Bottom of the faculty of the smith Agricultural School and Northam pton School of Industries, is the guest of her cousins, MT. and Mrs. C. A. Hammond, Oak Hill, for the week. This school was the result of an idea originating with Oliver Smith, brother of the founder of Smith college, who felt the need of the young people of the future having an institution where a Knowledge of agriculture in it's varied branches could be taught. For this purpose MT. Smith left money for a fund with the request that when that fund reached certain amount the school should be established. This was done about five years ago.
 In addition to the agricultural course are cabinet making, wood working and a partial course in general ma- chine work, and course of home making for girls including the domes- tic science and arts. The student body at present numbers about l25, increas- ing yearly until the school is now a prosperous institution. The school now receives state aid which suppli- ments the original endowment.

 "After war was declared banks re- fused to make payments on letters of credit and we motored to Paris with all haste Military officers halted our automobile more than a score of times. There were signs of war everywhere and all residents in both small towns and large cities were patriotic and vol unteered to lay down their life for the fatherland.
 "Horses and wagons were gathered together by the French army. A short distance outside of Paris we were stopped and stayed over night in Fon- tainbleu. France was filled with uni formed soldiers. Early the following morning we started towards the iron tier but were stopped at barricade ten miles from the front. We tshowed our papers but they were rejected. Later we crossed the line and were within a few miles of Metz in Germany and were held up by the German cav airy and ordered to return to France.
 "Thinking that it might be possible to go to Switzerland and thence to Germany we started for Nancy. That night with pass from the Prefect of Police we were allowed to enter Paris.
 "Pans you understand is fortress and all is under martial law. We must have a permit to remain in Paris and pass to venture out of the city limits.
 "Textile industries and factories are closed and all stores and business houses close at 5 o'clock. The streets are heavily guarded. Our trunks have been lost, that is at least for the pres ent period. N

TRAVEL $40 MILES ON SKIS.
Russian Soldiers Cover Distance In
Twenty three Days.

WHY SSy
st. Petersburg.-The three officers
and sixty-four noncommissioned OIL
GERS and men ef the lsmailovsky
Guards regiment, who have reached
Tsarskoe Selo from Archangel on skis
have accomplished a remarkably fine
performance, having covered the dis
lance Of more than 600 miles in TWEEN
ty-three days.
Most of the country traversed was
billy and thickly wooded. The wind
had cleared away most of the snow
over a considerable stretch and inter
mittent thaws impeded the progress of
the party. On two occasions packs of
wolves lowered around the skiers.
In some Of the remoter districts the
appearance of the skiers caused much
excitement among the peasants, some
of whom took them for n band of es-
capped convicts. Others believed that
that were the advance guard of q for
eign army invading Russia. and in
several villages the children ran away
and hid themselves in the woods.
The greatest difficulty experienced by
the party was in the transport of pro.
visions and reserve skis. These were
carried on horseback, but numerous re-
lays OF horses had to be requisitioned.
The equipment Of the men weighed
about twenty pounds.
