Farm to Table by Post.

In the November Woman s Home
Companion appears a very interesting
and suggestive article by Albert E.
Rurleson, postmaster general of the
United states, entitled Marketing by
Mail, in which he shows the many
advantages of the postal facilities.
Mr.. BurIeson comments as follows on
the result of this plan-that of mar
keting by mail-which was inaugurated
less than year ago by the post office
departments;
THE results arc most gratifying in
the large eenters of populations where
the need for additional facilities of OBJ
tanning fresh country produce is great
est. \ pleasing discovery by the postal
authorities has been to find that the
opposition of city and country retailers
to this and other features eff the recent
development of the parcel post has died
out. Merchants are finding that the
government express facilities are OF
value to them. Parcel post selling i

BIG DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA
volcanic Ashes From Katmai Delayed
Progress of Steamer-ExpIosion
Heard Afar.

AS we approach Kodiak, strange
dark clouds we're seen obscuring the
horizon at several points and one so
heavy and black that it resembled
smoke from a great forest fire. Cap
tain Jensen startled us by explaining
that this was dust blown by the stiff
breeze from the lofty hills all about
us. These hills seemed covered with
snow, but the whitish deposits proved
to be ashes, rained down several feet
deep upon all this section during the
eruption of Mount Katmai in June,
1912. Katmai is still smoking.
The sun looked like a dull silver
dollar as it shone through the ashy
mist. The dust cloud was so thick
that it held our steamer up for four
hours until the way was clear. Pass
ing your hand over the rail of the
boat you found your fingers streaked
with the impalpable gray powder.
When we landed at Kodiak we found
piles of soft gray ashes and large
and small pieces of light, friable
stone, like pumice stone, which had
been thrown out by the volcano.
United States Marshal F. r. Bren-
herman of Valdez, who was a fellow
passenger with me, says the explosion
of the volcano was heard at that
place, 400 miles away from Kodiak,
and sounded like cannonading. 1t
was followed by a deposit of fine
ashes in Valdez.-John A Sleicher in
Leslies Weekly.

TOWN CLERK FOR 81 YEARS.
Westmoreland Official Elected Soon AT
ter Discharge from War.

Holding the office of town clerk for
nearly 81 years is the record of Ed
win J. Goodnow of Westmoreland, n.
II. This record is probably unequaled
by any in New England.
Mr.. Goodnow was born in Westmore-
land March 81, 1886, and has spent
nearly all of his life in that town.
He enlisted in Company A, l4th New
Hampshire regiment, in 1862, and
served two and one-half years. He re-
ccived a bullet wound in his left arm
in the battle of Winchester. and was
obliged to have the arm amputated. He
was discharged from service Feb s,
1854. He returned to Westmoreland

Milroy, Rush county town, seven
miles south of Rushville, is a great
place for marble fans. They hold a
tournament each spring and summer.

Prizo Winners at Exposition.

The Leland and Gray seminary students
again captured a commendable number of

in Rutland. The prize winners were AL
Ian Heath, first prize of 81 for best 10
ears of popcorn; Florence B. Howard, first
prize of So for best plain washable dress
Ruth Farnum, So, second best loaf of
bread; Ruby NJ. Howe, 81, second best

cents on whitfield article, boat; Frederick
Butler, commendatory mention on model
playground apparatus, swing. None OF
these prize winners had received any in
struction in the departments represented
save in home training, and considering the
large number of competitors the seminary
may well be proud of the standing of the
students in industrial crafts.

OCEANIC
SHIPS TO TAKE
MAIL soon

Negotiations are now under way
between the postal officials and Off
GERS of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany which may result IN the Sonoma
and the Ventura resuming the carry
ing of United States mails between
Honolulu and San Francisco in the
near future.
The Oceanic company several
months ago refused to renew its con-
tract with the postoffice department
for carrying mail between Honolulu
and the coast on the Sonoma and the
Ventura on the grounds that the postal
officials had promised to continue the
contract with these boats between the
United States and American Samoa.
This latter contract, so the Oceanic
company averred, the postoffice de-
partment refused to renew.
The Oceanic company, through local
officers. wishes it understood that 1t
does not willingly make Honolulu the
goat for the failure of the postoffice
department to provide contract for
carrying mail from Samoa, but 1t takes
this means of forcing the promised

That there might be no delay In

independently of the local postof1ce
