NEW II CENT STAMP

The pOstOtfice will soon receive
supply of the latest issue of
stamps put out by the govern
ment. They are eleven cent stamps
and are in color darker shade
of green than the one cent stamp
which they somewhat resemble.
A picture of Benjamin Franklin
appears on the stocker.
1t has been found in the parcel
post business that many pack
ages amounted to eleven cents
and for this reason the new issue
of stamps is printed. Stamps are
now printed in one. two, three,
four, five. six. seven, eight, nine,
ten. eleven and twelve cent varie-
ties and few larger ones.

Some express companies have Il special
rate for SQUAD shipments. which should
be secured wherever possible. The ex
press charges on small shipments of
SQUADS reduce the profit materially
making it difficult to sell the squads
from small flock at profit if they

AS the period ut which u squad is
right for market is not over one week
1t is necessary to have good sized

The production Of squads from eacll
pair of breeders varies from one or two
to as high as ten or eleven pairs IL year
but an average of from six. to seven

SQUAD breeders do better than this

Those thinking of going into pigeon

NEwsBoY FOUND DEAD
Clayton ParmaIee May Have Been
Accidentally Eiectrocuted

st. Albans Oct. 2O-Clayton Par
meleee, the 14-year old son of Alder
man and Mrs. Abner A. Parmalee.
was found dead about Z O'Clock this
evening lying near an electric light
pole at the corner of Smith and Con
gress streets. Although no authorit-
ative information can be obtained
pending an investigation by the state
board of health it is thought the bo~
was accidentally electrocuted as
there were burns on both hands
which might have been caused by
electricity.
The boy was delivering newspapers
and had left papers at nearby houses.
From the pole near where the body
was found the wires are carried into
a house entering an underground con-
duit through an iron piper beside the
pole. 1t is thought that the boy may
have touched the pipe which, in some
manner, may have become charged
with current.

TELEPHONE SENDS
VOICE ACROSS
ATLANTIC
Wireless Speech From Arlington,
Va, to Paris
ALSO HEARD IN HONOLULU
Conditions Were Not Good and Sta
ton In France So Busy Little
Time was Given

New York, Oct. 22-Words uttered
in Arlington, Va, have been heard in
| Paris, France, on three different DC
cassions within the last ten days. On
Tuesday and Wednesday nights of
this week, the human voice was pro
jected across the Atlantic for the first
time in history and "Hellos" and
| Good byes" said in Arlington were
heard and understood in the French
capital, $500 miles from the point OF
transmission
Announcement of the epochal
achievement was made officially by
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company last night, following
cabled confirmation OF the success of
the wireless telephone experiments
received in New York and Washing
ton from tie company's engineers in
Paris.
H. Il. Shreeve and A. NJ. Curtis, of
the staff of John J. Carly the Chief
Engineer of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, went to
France TO represent the company in
the trans-AtIanu experiments. For
several weeks they have been sever
ing red tape and making other ar
rangements for the tests.
Owing to the fact that France is at
war and that wireless is playing a
most important part in the working
out of the French military communi-
cation system, it was with difficulty
that officials were persuaded to per
nit the use OF the Eifel Tower sta
tion in Paris for the receipt OF the
messages from Arlington,
Only a few seconds at time, in
periods FAR apart, We're allowed the
American engineers during which
they were permitted to listen for the
greeting from far away Arlington. In
order that there could be no doubt of
the genuineness of the tests. officers
of the French government, two or
more of whom represented the army,
were with Messrs Shreeye and Curtis
in Paris. while Colonel Samuel Reber
of the United States army radio serv-
ice, Captain W. H. G. Bullard, head
of the United States Naval Radio
Service, and other American army
and navy officers watched the expert
ments at Arlington.

YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES

When a cold settles in the bronchial
tubes, with that weakening, tickling
cough, immediate treatment IS very
important. The breath seems shorter
because of mucous distractions; usu-
ally feveris present, your head jars with
every cough and your chest may ache.
This is no time for experimenting or
delay-you must get SCOTS Emulsion
at once to drive out the cold which
started the trouble, and it will check
the cough by aiding the healing pro-
cess of the enfeebled membranes.
If you have any symptoms of bron-
chitis, or even a stubborn cold, always
remember that SCOTS Emulsion has
been relieving this trouble for forty
years. 1t is free from alcohol or drugs.
Refuse substitutes.

Little Nation Fights vaIiantIy But
Enemies Are too Many
SALONIKI RAILROAD TWICE CUT
Bulear Attack Proving More Formid-
able Than That of Austro-
German Forces

London, Oct. 22-The official state
ment issued Wednesday at Nish as
Forwarded by the Hayas News agency
says that the Seryian army is now
menaced seriously The Seryian war
office says that the railroad line to
Salonica has been cut in two places.
The communication follows
The situation grows more and
more serious The resistance of the
Seryian troops is desperate and he
roic. but the strong pressure Of the
Austrians and Germans from the
north and of masses of Bulgarians
from the east is menacing seriously
the Servian army which is now cut
off from Salonica The arrival of
allied troops is awaited anxiously.
The Servians in the north hold
the Rakhanatz Observation-Disclosures
golobovi and the Asagna-Kosmai
lines and the right bank of the Kolon-
baza On the eastern front they hold
the Zaiotchavi-Koiatzovatz-Pirot-Vlas
sina lines, but the Bulgarians have
taken the towns of Vranya and Volos-
so, cutting the line to Salonica in two
places"
A dispatch from London says that
while it was expected that the Aus
tro-German onslaught in the north
would be the most formidable, as a
matter of fact the Bulgarian attack
against the Servians through the val
leys from the east are proving most
dangerous. 1t is now definitely set
tied that the Bulgars have cut the Sa-
lonicaNish railway to the north OF
Vranya. thus driving wedge be-
tween the main Seryian army and
the AngloFrench forces which landed
at Salonica. There is another rail
way. which branching off at Uskup,
runs up the western side of Servia,
but ii is a considerable way around
and, besides, another Bulgarian army,
which is now approaching Kumanoya.
is threatening the junction at Uskup.
The actual situation in Seryia is
clouded in doubt, although all advic-
es agree that the defenders of that
country are being gradually forced
backward by the Overwhelming ar
mics of Austria, Germany and Bulgar-
ia and are anXiously looking in the
direction whence the hoped-for Brit
fish and French assistance will come.
A late report from Athens says that
the French troops have crossed the
Vardar river and are threatening the
Bulgars south of lstip.
Even though the French have ad-
yanced beyond Demir Kapu. as this
report announces, they have still q
long way to go before they can bring
aid to the little Servian army which
in the last two weeks has suffered
heavily
