quarter.
The Fairmont Collegians. the team
that defeated the Grafton Mechanical
School, who represented the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad shops at Grafton,
will travel 10 Wheeling a week from
next Saturday. where they will meet
the Linsly Institute. Needless to say,
this game is going to be corker. for
the Collegians are prepared to meet
anything that comes In their way. AL
though the showing put up by the Col
legians against the Grafton team last
Friday was spectacular, the game was
not one that furnished any good data
on the players.
Grafton's team was composed of sew
eral inexperienced players who were
not more than boys. and who had, &C.
cording to their manager, very little
practice. After the Collegians meet
the Linsley Institute players they will
return TO Fairmont with knowledge
of what football team is composed.

LAMOILLE COUNTY COURT

The hearing of the Stafford v. Camp
bell Lumber Co., cases lasted last week,
being finished Friday afternoon. These
cases involved complicated accounting,
and the crowd that has been in attend
ance for most of the term seemed to have
lost its interest and have been conspicu-
Gus by their absence The claim OF the
Lumber Co., was that Stafford had not
used the diligence he should in selling
their lumber, and that by reason of this
they had been put to considerable expense
for interest, taxes, and insurance, and
the lumber had deprecated in value by
exposure. The lack of diligence was
denied by Stafford, and his evidence tend
ed to show that orders had been furnished
for the lumber which Campbell would
not fill, and that the depreciation was
due to Campbell's failure to accept the
orders furnished. Several experts testified
that there had been since 1912 depreci-
alton of only about SIS. About $4,000
is in volved in the two cases. At the close
of the evidence Stafford moved for an adj
ditional bond the Campbells were ordered
to furnish $500 additional bonds in 10
days. Twenty days were allowed'by the
court for filing suggestions by both sides
and decision will be announced later.
This case came near being under the
new practice act, as the law case and the
chance1y case were heard at the same
time, but while there was only one trial
in fact going on, the evidence in which
applied to both ca SEES. each party had to
"whack up" trial fee of Sc 90, as soon
as the Clerk returned from his visit to
Mass.
At the close of the hearing the court
took a recess until, Aug. IS, when it is
understood that several more cases will
be heard, which may take the rest of the
month of August, all of which is "going
some" for this county-as far as court
is concerned
Messrs. c. D. Watson and Gen. Tillot.
son of ST. Adams were at the county seat
the greater part of last week, being coun-
sci for Campbell in the above case. In
addition to being good lawyers these
gentlemen are genial men and each day
after All arduous seige in court mingled
with court officers and laymen IN social
way at the Inn, all hands enjoying
social hour or two. Then also, Gen:
Tillotson had his big Cadallac here and
would frequently take spin of few
miles at the close of the day, sharing this
with the court and others-all of which
was greatly enjoyed.

Editor News and Citizen
DEAR SIR II am pleased many times
when reading your paper of someone
wanting to know why the good people
of VT. do not raise their own wheat and
save the expense of buying western -four?
Also horses, why not raise them instead
of shipping them from the west? Also
why do Armour, Swift and others send
train loads of dressed meat to New Eng
land when it should be raised there?
Also the carloads of corn and other feeds
that sell very high? In my visits to my
native state it looks to me that it is be.
cause much of the land fails to produce
hardly anything; especially pastures
which were once good are now covered
with brakes, thistles, and hard hack and
many other things, meadows covered
with daisies, yellow and white, thstes,
paint brush, brakes (polly pod) and other
kinds, all OF which make very poor feed.
Beef, butter, pork and nearly every thing
that farmers raise, bring as much here
as with you and can be raised ,or one
half it can with you. A gent near here
just sold steer that weighed twenty
pounds less than a ton and received SO 10
per hundred He was four years old. He
never saw any $1.75 to $40 per hun
dred feed, or corn where farmers had
paid from $500 to $40 90 an acre for
commercial fertilizers.
Hay crop, alfalfa and other kinds of
grass and pastures are the very best.
Corn backward but it is warm now and
it grows fast. Many tenants on farms
save enough to buy farms and others
never save anything. No farms sell for
less than 500 per acre and many sell for
more but it's all land
Think, many farms in your good state
of 100 acres, 20 acres will produce more
than the rest. We have County Option
Law in regard to sale of liquors Sc coun.
ties voted dry and 5 wet so far and the
good work is going on. Our state is not
only an agricultural state but it has i'm
mense timber land (pine) and more iron
ore mined than in the rest OF the U, S.
Hoping to see you and your good state
again, l am Respectfully,
GEO. H. DAVIS.

National Drinking

The war in Europe has resulted in
much discussion as to what the contend
ing nations drink, and what effect intern
perance has had upon the character of
the various peoples. All who have stud.
led the subject agree that liquor of one
kind or another productive of intoxica-
ton has reduced the moral tone, intellec-
tual power and physical efficiency of the
nations of Europe, and that no matter
how great some of their achievements
may have been and still are they are
nothing to what they might have been.
The war compelled the powers of the
governments to recognize this. France,
Russia, England. and in a measure Ger.
many, have issued DEGREES against the
manufacture and sale of various intoxi-
cants. The effect of these restraints has
been instantaneouslygo good wherever they
have been enforced. Ia war as we'll as in
business men cannot give intelligent, re-
liable and effective service unless they are
at least temperate, and their efficiency is
enhanced wherever absolute temperance
is maintained. 1t has passed out of the
realm of morals and has become a ques-
ton OF results with the man, with the
business and with the nation.
Some of us who may not have travel
eled extensively in Europe may be sur
prised to read the following contribution
to the general discussion printed recently
in New York newspaper
"Much has been written of late re-
garding England's consumption of in
toxicating beverages. Statistics show
Germany's consumption per capita, of
distilled spirits (gin, corn brandy, ETC.
to be greater than England's and Ger
many 'sconsumption of fermented liquors
(beer, etc. less, per capita, than Eng
lands"
We have been brought up to believe
that the Germans drank beer almost ex-
clusively as people, especially on their
native soil, and when we hear that the
Germans drink more distilled spirits
than England we learn, what to most OF
us, is something new.

Passing of a Strong Man

Gen. Diaz, for nearly forty years ruler
of Mexico, died in Paris last week. He
was wise and enlightened dictate and
for many years proved to be just the
kind of man to govern Mexico. He
kept the peace of his socailed republic by
laying an iron hand on the indictments
and the ambitious political and military
adventures who would have deposed
him.
He was not President of a republic, but
he was strong man and he gave Mexico
to the needs of the Mexican people. He
was soldier and a statesman and did
much to advance Mexico in the way OF
progress and material development. Not
until he became aged and began to lose
that grip which made him strong and
feared was it possible for the sentimental
Madero to overthrow him. For five
years he has lived in exile and he lived to
See his country torn by revolution and

States imminent.
The closing years of the great mans
life was saddened by the spectacle of his
country, the prey of bandits and thugs,
who have wrecked and ruined much of
what he labored so many years to build
up. Mexico lost its strong man when
Diaz aged and relaxed his hold. That
country needs another Diaz, but none
appears in sight.

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realizs that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scetts Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
