Investigation is being made of the
death of Earl Impey, 80 years old,
which occurred at Riehford July g..
He was taken violently i'll on the
way home from the celebration at
North Troy, and lived only an hour.
Seth Annis of Gaysville, 43 years
cd and unmarried, fell from a heavy
wagon in the road July and one or
both wheels passed over his head
causing a fracture of the skull. The
night before Mrs. Edward Mills COM
mitted suicide by taking Paris green.
A drop of from so to 20 feet over
a rocky cliff at Winooski caused ter
rible injuries and the death later of
Andrew Bond, Milton blacksmith.
He had been seen by some children,
sitting on the bank, and no one
knows what happened as he was un-
conscious when found.
The first of the logs in the long de-
layed drive down the Connecticut
river to Mount Tom, Mass, reached
White River Junction Wednesday.
The drive is in excess of 40, 100000
feet and the present height of the
river keeps the logs in a swiftly run
ming current and free from lodgment
on the banks or lodges. 1t is al
present expected that the entire
drive will make an undelayed run to
its destination.

St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1915-07-14

the st. Johnsbury Caledonian of last
week. 1t related to cattle-good
cattle-blooded stock. There were
several pages of it, well printed and
with the best of illustrations. 1t
was an issue that must awaken an
interest in cattle among farmers
throughout the whole state. Who,
outside of the few interested in cat
tile, ever dreamed of so many excel
lent herds amongst US until the Gale
domains issue on cattle came out.
And that issue, as the editor stated,
did not cover the whole field. Such
issues, when they can be afforded,
are a credit to the state, teh commun-
ity, and the newspaper Office getting
them out There should be more of
them.-EXpress and Standard.
The st. Johnsbury Caledonian is
sued an unusual special number last
week devoted to pure bred cattle of
Caledonia county. There were many
illustrations which added greatly to
the cattle record for Caledonia coun-
ty in New England. 1t is quite sur
prising to many to know that Gale
donia county has 1893 head of pure
bred cattle distributed in go herds
with a total valuation of $234,475,
which is an average of $163.62 per
head. The cattle section of the Gale
DOMAIN contained IL pages with an
nouncements for some 80 or more
breeders. 1t was a most creditable
edition, unusually so, and it shows
the farmers in that section are keen
ly alive to the opportunities in full
bred stOck.-Burlingt Clipper.
Cattle On A Thousand Hills
The St. Johnsbury Caledonian re-
Gently rendered a distinct service to
agriculture by publishing an eIabor-
ate illustrated article on the pure
bred cattle of Caledonia county. Ed
itor BigeloW in a painstaking search
found 1893 head of pure bred catt' e
in the county valued at over a quar-
ter of a million dollars. That it pays
to raise only thoroughbred stock is
clearly demonstrated by some of the
figures from the Caledonian's story.
One case is recorded of an experience
of 10 years where a man paid $135
for the head of his herd and now by
natural gain it is valued at $6265.
The average value per head of the
pure bred cattle in Caledonia county
is $163.63
Caledonia county is only one of
the IA counties in the state and we
hope Editor Bigelow's enterprise will
stir editors in other counties to COM
pile the statistics in their community.
Vermont is naturally an agricultural
state and its future wealth and
growth will come in large measure
from the soil and livestock. Within
II hours from the larger towns of
Caledonia county at least 100000
people can be reached by shipments
of livestock, butter, eggs, and other
farm products. While we do not
depreciate the value of the indus
trial product of the state it is to the
hills and the valleys that we must
turn for our greatest products. Yer
mont might we'll emulate Denmark
in the development of its agricultur-
al resources for this little kingdom
in times of peace has FURNISHED a
great part of Europe with products
of the dairy and the farm.-Spring-
field Reporter.

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Remove
Them With The Othine Prescription
This prescription for the removal
Of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and CIV
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by w. B. Eastman or any
druggist under guarantee to refund
the money il 1t fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money-back guar
antee.
