TRADE AT HOME

There is thought for home con
sumption in this paragraph from the
Barre Times: "a mail order house
in Chicago has just declared divi-
dend of 80 per cent to its stockhold-
ers; and, so far as we know. not a
dividend comes back in Vermont. "
No one helps the community in
which he lives by sending away for
goods which he could buy of local
dealers. By the way, have you
noticed that the stock of the largest
mail order concern in the country is
selling in these times of depression
at close to the 200 mark? Exchange
Everyone, when possible, should
trade at home. Merchants have to
pay rent and taxes and for light,
water, and heat

This Is Liable To Happen In
The Best Regulated
Printing Office

In handling the slugs which make
up the lines IN a newspaper and in
separating the various items, the
printer sometimes gets the items
mixed, and as a result they read
somewhat peculiar in print.
AS an illustration of what can hap
pen in this respect we cite a mixup
which appeared in the Bangor, pa
News not long since when the print
er got, a wedding and an auction
sale badly confused as follows:
"Wm. Smith, the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Smith, and Miss
Lucy Anderson were disposed of at
public auction at my farm one mile
east, in the presence of seventy
guests including two mules and IL
head & cattle.
1.-The Rev. johnson tied the nup-
tial knot for the parties, averaging
1850 pounds on the hoof. The beauti-
ful home of the bride was decorated
with one sulky rake, one feed grind
er and two sets of work harness,
nearly new, and just before the
ceremony was pronounced the Men
del & Sons wedding march was rem
dered by one mich COW, five years
old, one Jersey cow and one sheep,
who carried bunch of brides rosies
in her hand, was very beautiful. She
wore one light spring wagon, two
crates Of apples, three racks of hay,
one grindstone of mousseline de sole
and trimmings with about 100 bush
els of spuds. The bridal couple left
yesterday on extended trip. Terms

1749, but it is said to have been

Character OF Amberarls.

Ambergris, which is used as a basis
for much standard perfumery, was first
found, an unattractive mass, floating
on the sea or lodged upon the shore.
How so unlikely substance ever sug.
gested Itself as perfume is not
known, but it has been in use for cen.
turtles. 1t is believed by some to be
the morbid secretion of the liver OF a
sperm whale. It is described as fatty
waxy substance, disagreeable to sight
and touch, but even in its crude state
exhaling pleasant odor The crude
substance is subjected to chemical ac-
ton to extract the active principle
called amberine.

Lonn Enouuh Already.

A rather fussy man travelling from
New York to Philadelphia had been
much annoyed by his opposite COM
panion, tall, lanky fellow whose
bony knees troubled him not little.
There was stop of several minutes
at Trenton and the tall traveller rose
from his seat, and said with yawn:
Il guess I'll get out and stretch my

Invest Your Money At Home
We take the following from one of
orr ovob or, oeoe.
THE SILVER FOX

The United States consul at Char
lottetown, Prince Edward Island, has
a suspicion that silver fox finance
may come to mean much what wild
cat finance has long stood for. Mil
lions of capital from the United
States has gone into the Golfers of
the companies that breed silver fox
es on that island. and Consul MAYS
shows that the business has been the
subject of great imitation, to use the
mildest term. In London, the great
fur market of the world, silver fox
skins were selling last June at an
average of $118 each.
With the coming of the war the
bottom has dropped out of the bust
ness for the present, but even at
the prices before the war was in
sight something was due to happen
soon to the much doomed Prince
Edward Island industry. There are
now 5000 foxes, young and old, in
captivity on the island. The author
lied capitalization of the various
companies is no less than $31, 900 900
of which about 26,OO0,0OO has been
paid in. This makes the capitaliza-
ton at the rate of $4,000 per pair,
counting pups and grown foxes.
Figure out the profits in sight. Con-
sui Mays disposes of the theory that
the island foxes are of a peculiar
type, better than those elsewhere ,by
showing that 1920 foxes were i'm
ported in 1912 and 1918 and even
more in 1914. In only few cases,
has there been any guarding against
lntermixture. Moreover, the best
furriers agree that the vast strip
1900 miles wide that circles the
globe just south of the Artic circle
produces foxes as valuable as those
raised under the advantageous con-
ditlons of climate and soil that the
island-affords.
All of this, and much more that
Consul Mays has to say, may be bit
dlsheartening to trusting investors;
but the fact remains that the silver
fox ranchers of Prince Edward Is.
land have. made valuable contribu-
ton to human progress by introduc-
ing the domestication of fur bearing
animals, and when their business
gets down to solid financial basis.
with the hot air and the water ex-
Guided, it will face a more cheerful
future.
1t is a pretty safe principle to IN
vestyour money at home. Anyone
reading the above article cannot helm
being impressed wi h the utter folly
of paying SIG, 900 per pair for foxes;
and, if the truth is told in the above
article, the owners Of fur farms will
soon be in abo 1T the same financial
condition as the Boston and Maine
Railroad.

Various Views of the Snow.

The farmer calls the snow the poor
mans fertilizer. 1t keeps the ground
warm and puts dollars-prospectively
in his vacant pockets. 1t is much
esteemed by artists, who use almost
every color except white when they
set out to paint it. Their favorite tints
for this purpose are pink, purple and
slaty blue. 1t seems to be the chief
business of artists to inform us cour-
teously but firmly, that our eyes are

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1915

Van Horn has gone to Jail, and we
hope he will stay there for the rest
Of his natural life. The depreciation
was too near the United States for
comfort. If he is anenlisted soldier
holding a commission in the German
army and his act was one of war, he
will be entitled to military privilege
and will have to be informed in this
country until the war is over. If
such is not the case, he will have to
be surl endered to Canada. In either
event, he will remain in Jail for
some time.
We shall soon know whether Mr..
Van Horns exploit was part of an
organized plan to attack the
Dominion of Canada by the wanton
destruction of private property or
whether it was an accidental attack
by one who desired to make out of
himself popular hero or martyr.

wo1rkman's Asset.

A workman owes it to himself and
his family to take care of himself.
His labor is his only asset in business.
When injured, he is for the time being
a bankrupt. If killed, his family may
be left destitute and his children de-
prived of an education and forced to
seek employment before their matur-
ity. This philosophy is found in a bull
letin of the Chicago bureau of safety.

If there can be any good thing
come out of the awful European
conflict, it is found today at one
beautiful spot on the beautiful Ri
vieria. In other words, the annual
report of the corporation which
owns the Casino at Monte Carlo
shows shrinkage of more than l0,-
100000 francs ($2, OOO,0O0), or so per
cent, as compared with the receipts
for 1918.
1t is a part of the eternal justice
that the constituencies men who
gain their filthy gold from the gilded
gambling den at Monte Carlo, often
at the cost of the blood and tears
and deaths of despairing victims,
should suffer in their pocket-books-
the only kind of suffering that can
appeal to them. 1t would be better
still if their receipts were to shrink
a full 100 per ceLt.-Exchange.
It would be one of the greatest
benefits in the history of the world
if the. whole contemplate place
would sink beneath the waves Of the
eternal ocean.

been grown on dry land and
not under irrigation. The more
northern grown seed corr costs
more than southern grown, but
as the feeding value of the
plant increases in proportion
as it is matured, the northern
grown corn is worth more for
seed, and under no conditions
should the farmer be tempted
to buy for fodder corn of the
giant varieties. They are low
er in feeding value than the
shorter stalk, exhaust the soil
of more moisture and cannot
possibly mature in this lati-
tude. For fodder corn we
would recommend the North.
western dent, Minnesota No. Is,
or No.23 or Mercer yellow flint.
In the grass seeds the West
ern rye grass, bronze grass,
tomothy and red clover can be
bought from farmers and is
better adapted to our condi-
tons, besides home grown seed
should be given the preference
other things being equal.
The first series of farmers
mid-winter meetings held the
past week were a success in
every respect, and we especial
ly appreciated the hearty CO.
operation on the part of the
newspapers, business men and
the farmers in the assistance
given to make the meetings
helpful and enjoyable.
A second series is being ar
ranged for at points not cover
ed by the first series. The
farmers institute in charge of
Prof. G.. w. Randlett will also
hold meetings in the 500 line
towns: at Overly Feb. Is, Gar
dena Is and l6, and at Russell
March l.. Everyone within
reach will do we'll to attend
these meetings.
