How Boys Jan Work Their

Can = poor boy whois willing

This question was put 10 John
3. Moore, secretary Of the X. M.
q. A oiths University of Mis-
soui. Mr.. Moore answered II
almost before the words were out
Of the speakers mouth.
.sYes," he said, .'Iet i student
come to Columbia with money
enough to carry him through the
first month, and We will ID the
rest" Then Mr.. Moore went Oh
to tell how 900 studects work
their way through the Univsr-
sity. He stated that the employ
ment bureau Of The X. MI q. IA.
had helped students to find Jobs
last year through which they
earned S1b, 900.
Bu. the employment bureau Of
the X. M. CA. is only one Of its
many departments. Ever since
the establishment Of the associa-l
ton back in 1890it has done Al
strong religious and social work.
Now Mr.. Moore has planned 81

would encourage a system Of

Can the Slaughter Of Calves
Be Lessened9

II I. 4
Statistics indicate that th,
slaughter Of such animals ID in

to an increase in the demand fol

is ordinarily sold at an extremely
, high price per pound.
These veal calves are largely
drawn from the dairy districts,
but, with the growth in the de-.
mand for veal, other sections are
marketing as veal ia consider
able nambers calves that, IL kept
and fattened, would have made
good beef slsers. The market
4 for stoekers and feeders is there
fore affected. lsa
4 Various suggestions have been
made to prevent this, even such
radical ones rs legislation to pro-
hibit entirely the slaughter Of
calves. The fact is not always
recognized, however, that this
practice is purely economic, In
dairy districts, milk production
10 the chief business and calves
are an incident, valuable only to
Ireplenish the milking stock or
for snch revenue as may be OBJ
tanned from their sale as veal.
As the average dairyman must
keep the number Of his mixers
at q maximum, economy demands
that he relieve himselfof his surr
tplus calves as soon as possible.
As there is not ordinarily any
market for such calves except for
veal, veal they become. Thu

More Enforcement at Rumford.

For the second time within few
months, spoilers" from a Boston de.
tective agency were employed by Sheriff
rockingham to secure evidence against
liquor sellers at Rumford over the Pc
riod of the Fourth. Their work was not
so fruitful in results as at the other visit,
when a considerable number were
brought into court and convicted. As
the result OF last weeks visit, Ed d.
Peters, who has frequently appeared In
the courts on liquor matters, was SEN
fenced for single sale and appealed,
and Ed Foley, bartender at the Peters
shop, was fined on two single sales and
appealed, and was bound over on COM
mon seller charge.
Seizures were made by Deputy Sheriffs
Landry and Bessey at several places, and
Lawrence Lavorgns, John Wiskont,
Steve Moskus and Casper Barnis were
convicted on charges of keeping aud de-
posting. Lavorgna paid, the Others ap,
pealed. A seizure of beer was also made
at the shack occupied by Peter Ardenghi
at the foot'of Mt Zircop, and the case
was continued for hearing.

An Old Collection,

A reminder of the old war days is
powder horn, picked up on the battle
| field of Bunker Hill by Jonathan Conn
This is a foot and half in length and
holds two pounds of powder. AS q com
panion to this, there is an old Queens
Arm," which was used by Conn in the
Revolution and brought by him to bis
home in New Hampshire and thence to
Bethel, Me-, where he was resident in
the early forties.
10 the line of china, there is set that
came over in the Mayflower. This ware
is light in color, with sprays of gold and
colors. 1t is priced very highly by the
present owner, coming into his posses
sion through Celia Dean, whose owner
ship was of the sixth generation in the
family.
In one corner is an old bureau that ap.
pears both ancient and clumsy. 1t ia
made of heavy pine, and its peculiar fea-
ture is the chest attached on top.
Among the novelties can be seen a
century old clock reel, every part OF
wood, with device to count the forty
threads in the grandmother's knot of
yarn. Beside the bureau stands the old
one. leaf table, oblong in shape and
drawer on one side. Then again, there
is the loom. brought in by tho early
settler, with its reeds of whalebone.
The spinning wheel as it was con-
structed ninety years ago, the wagon
hub mortar, the old tin candle-mold for
twelve, the mirror, with the picture top,
hand painted, the clock with wooden
works, built by the old clock makers,
Lsngdon & Jones, at Burlington, Conn.
The above, with many other items rep
resent a valued collection in memory of
"the good old days." and their owner
certainly finds enjoyment in the posses
sion of such.

years before coming to Caribou. 1t wal

who died several years ago, and Atwood

Mr.. Spaulding was one of the found.

Pressure Isle and also Of the Aroostook
Trust Co. of Caribou and director In
both at the time of bis. death. For sew
eral years he has been director OF the
Bangor & Aroostook r. R. and took an
active interest in the affairs OF the road

Safety First.

Officers and employees of the GRAND
Trunk Railway are trying by every
means in their power, to prevent inJuriei
to all persons-patrons, employees ano
others. But on looking into this sub
ject, they find that more than one ball
of all persons killed on railways in Can
ada and the United States, are killed
while trespassiug on railway property
In this way in these two countries, fif
teen persons are killed and about the
same number injured for every day In
the year.
Perhaps you may think that the II ,OO(
or more persons meeting with casualties
every year while trespassing on railways
are tramps or hoboes; but the fact IL
that so percent of them are useful citi-
zens. Men walking on tracks to and
from their places of work or business,
children playing on tracks or Tipping
cars comprise the greater part OF this
shameful slaughter.
To most people it seldom occurs thai
in walking on tracks they are taking any
particular risk. 1t seems 80 easy to see
or hear train and when one thinks
about the subject at all, he likely con
cludes that while others may have been
caught he will be more vigilant and es'
cape.
Those injured and killed in this way
are not the only ones who suffer. Their
families being deprived of their earning
power are called upon to bear large
share of the burden. The public is de-
prived of the services of this large army
of persons and in great percentage OF
cases are compelled to contribute to the
care and maintenance Of such persons
and dependent members in their fami'
lies.
In view, therefore, OF these facts and
in the interest of public safety, every
person is earnestly requested not to walk
on or along railroad tracks both on &C.
count of bis own safety and for the sake
of setting a good example to others. We
ask parents to call this subject to the at.
tention of their children and instruct
them as to the danger of walking OF
playing on or about tracks and OF Hip
ping cars.
In this connection let Us also call at
tention to another source OF injury
which is quite common, due to failure
of persons to stop and look in both di.
rections for approaching trains wher
about to cross tracks at highways OF
other places. Remember that traint
may move on any track at any time. We
do not believe that any person is so busy
that he cannot take the few seconds be-
fore crossing track to make sure tina,
there is no approaching train. BY all
means never "duck under" crossing
gates or across tracks when warned moi
to do so by signal from flagman or other
source. - Safety Committee, Grand
Trunk Railway, Montreal Division.
