Manchester has worked south, but
has been kept out OF the best timber
and has not reached any of the logs
already cut The Rich Lumber com
pany has had large force of men
fighting the fire, but the wind has
made the work diiilcult.
The fire In Somerset appears from
a distance to be spreading in good
growth. but owing to the distance
from telephones the details are hard
to get. There are also fires in Essex
and Orange counties and only a
heavy rainfall can prevent serious
loss.

irondacks by forest fires which have
been raging for the entire week.
New blazes have cropped out within
the last two days in several sections

For the fourth time in as many

PROHIBITION LECTURE
Given by Miss Lillian Phelps at the
Baptist Church.

At the union service in the Bap-
tist church Sunday evening, a large
audience listened with pleasure and
profit to an eloquent and foreeful adj
dress by Miss Lillian Phelps of Mia
CARA, ~ ", on the subject of temper
ance. She said in part that "A tree
is to be judged by its fruit" that the
church was not to be estimated by
it's costly edifice but by it's influence
upon the lives and character of it's
adherents. by the character of it's
product, and that the licensed saloon
is TO be estimated by the same test,
by it's influence and effect upon the
lives and character OF its patrons
she said "a man is known by the com
pany he keeps" and called attention
to the evil institutions so often as
soeiated with the saloon.
She referred to the oft repeated OBJ
lection to prohibition that it did not
prohibit and quoted claimed condi-
tions in Kansas for reply, which
state has been under prohibitory law
for many years. state where there
is $200.O00,0O0 on deposit in the state
and national banks, where in 81 of
her 105 counties there are no insane,
80 counties no inebriates, 3S county
poor houses empty, where not long
ago the jails in So counties were
empty 5 counties on the roll as hav-
ing no prisoners serving in the peni-
tentiary, and some counties where a
jury has not been called in ten years
to try criminal case, where in 1897
in time of panic. $50,0O0000 was
sent from Kansas to help Wall
street out of the hole, where the laws
prohibiting the sale of liquor have
been made more stringent, where a
recent violator of the prohibtory law
has been sentenced to nine years i'm
prisonment, a state where the schools
flourish and illiteracy reduced to
about two per cent.
She said it was a strange thing that
if prohibition did not prohibit and
that there was more whiskey sold un-
der prohibition than high license that
the saloon people were so anxious to
pay a high license tax for the priv
ilege of selling. She said in closing
that the conflict was not simply
against local opposition, but against
the organized liquor forces Of the
country.

It butter is too salt it may be fresh

the proportion of one quart of milk to

Testing butter to see if it is really

Join at Word from Italy.
A dispatch from London says that
Rumania is going through crisis
similar to that experienced by Italy
before the latter country entered
the war. Those who favor neutrality
and those who favor war held coun-
ter-demonstrations at Bucharest yes

getting into shape to put forward
their views. The general opinion
held in London is that Rumania will
join the allies when Italy gives the
word and that Bulgaria win follow
her lead. With the King of Greece
suffering relapse and in a serious
condition, no cnange in the attitude
of that country is expected immedi
