cannot be estimated. They included
not only the personal belongings of
200 students and II of the faculty,
but also all the equipment of the
three scientific departments Goo
logy, geology and psychology, and
the original work of several of the
faculty which cannot be replaced.
The fire, however, offered the great
est test of the valuable training of
it's students in the power to meet an
emergency in the best way. The
college is justly proud that every life
was saved, and each student showed
the most obedient, loyal and disin-
terested spirit and most perfect self
control.
The remainder of the evening was
spent socially and refreshments were
served by some of the students of
the st. Johnsbury Academy.
Subscription envelopes containing
S42 were received for the Restora-
ton Fund. The College is working
to raise 100000 for this fund and
endowment funds before Jan. l.,

MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED
An Appeal For Farmers To Support
Caledonia County Farmers As
ISOLATION

To cover the expense of the years
work of the Caledonia County Farmers
Association it is necessary that the sum
of $500 be raised and since the farmers
are the ones receiving the benefit of the
excellent work done by Mr.. Stimson the
money ought to be contributed by the
farmers. There Is no question but what
the work so far has been an unqualified
success but it is necessary that more
members be secured and also that con-
tributions be increased. Every farmer
and every other person interested should
help along the work. not only by be-
coming a member but giving such addi-
tional sum as he feels that he can afford
IF every member would interest himself
enough to induce his neighbors to be-
come members there would be no lack of
support for the association. The Secre-
tary IS farmer and hasn't the time to
spare from his own work to go out and
make a personal canvas of the county so
it will be necessary that members CO.
operate with him 10 increasing the men,
be ship. Blanks will be sent to anyone
interested and anyone wishing to become
member may inclose his name and his
contribution to the secretary who will
send receipts for all sums received.
Beginning with next week we hope to
present every week an account of the
agents work. receipts of the week and
membership gained, etc. Let us all take
hold and work for the good of the cause.

Waterford reIephone Rate. Lower

Beginning July 1, the Southern New England Telephone Co., will make re- duction of $4 in the rates of tele- phones to subscribers in Waterford living within a radius of one-half mile of the boundary line between New London and Waterford. At present the rate is $32 for Waterford subscrib- CTS. but beginning July 1 residents within the described territory will pay only $2s.
 The company makes the reduction because of existing conditions in Waterford. The town of Waterford surrounds New London from Long Island sound to the Thames river. Just beyond the boundary lines, Wa . terford is becoming thickly populated and the distance is so short to New London that the company considered the subscribers residing within a half mile radius entitled to reduction in telephone rates.
