100000 In BUILDING
c. A. CaIderwood To Build Block,
MethOdists A Church and Resi-
dents Several Houses.

There is every indication that the
tracked to make way for the wave
of prosperity" which is due in St.
Johnsbury. People are talking busi-
ness instead of war and plans calling
for the expenditure Of over 100000
in building operations the coming
season prove that they are needing
the advice to build now" The new
buildings will include the Methodist
church, a business block on the cor
ner of Eastern avenue and Pearl
street, a new six-tenement house on
Portland street and numerous dwell
ings.
Detailed plans are already in the
hands of the Methodist church build
ing committee and bids for the con-
struction will be called for at once.
The plans call for magnificent stone
structure, one that is bound to be a
credit to st. Johnsbury and a valuable
addition to its already long list of
beautiful public buildings. The ap-
preparation of $4,000 will probably
be exceeded as nothing will be spared
in the construction of the new church
G. A. Calderwood's lot on the Bull
lard estate at the corner of Pearl
street and Eastern avenue, has been
cleared of trees and ground will be
broken at once for his new brick
block. 1t will be a modern business
block, three stories high on Pearl
and two on the avenue. Mr.. Calder
wood will occupy part of the main
floor for his furniture business and
will rent the remainder of the build
ing. Over $4,000 will be. expended
on this job and the finished building
is bound to improve the looks of the
avenue.
Sommerville is dotted with many
new cottages and plans are already
made for several more new struc-
lures. H. E. Chesley has broken
ground for his three-story building on
Portland street. 1t will contain six
flats and the call for rents will prob
ably fill it before the carpenters fin
ish work. Tobias Lyster will build
cottage house in this section and
other plans are expected to mature
before summer comes that will add
several more new buildings in Som
merville.
Charles Rice will puC up a cottage
house in Fairbanks village and at
1SdSC TWO OIU01S Will UO Uu1II nCdI
the new Fairbanks cottages on the
Danville road this summer.
School street and Fairlawn in Pad
dock Village already show great i'm
provement with a large number of
new bungalows and cottages which
will be still further added to during
the coming season.
George Hickey and w. S. Masten
n1Qnnin0 nIIffinO
houses on their lots and others are
already in the 'talking-seriously
building" state. DR.. George F.
Cheney will build on his lot on High
land avenue.
These building facts certainly
make the outlook for 1915 in st.
Johnsbury great deal bright
er and more encouraging and it looks
as though the glooms would have to
lay down their arms before general
prosperity.

CLEAN AND PAINT
St. JOhnsbury To Have A Weeks
Campaign For Improving The
Appearance of the Village.

"Cles dp and Paint up Week" is
to be Observed in st. Johnsbury the
week of May l to May 8th inclusive,
it being a part of a nation wide
movement for the cleaning of yards
and improving the appearance of
buildings generally. It is considered
good investment to keep buildings
well painted and premises generally
attractive and the expense of doing
it early is no greater and if il is gen
orally done throughout a village the
effect is much more impressive.
Several local men met at the St.
Johnsbury House Monday evening
and after discussing methods decided
to form a permanent organization
and to observe the first week in May
as a "Clean up and Paint up Week"
in ST. Johnsbury. Organization was
effected by electing Rev. Paul ID.
Moody, permanent chairman of the
organization; A. B. Noyes, chairman
of the financial committee; c. w.
Steele as publicity committee; w. il.
Young. committee to interest schools
and scholars; Mrs. George f. Cheney,
committee representing Woman's
Club; e. Fl. Roberts of the Goss Com
pany, committee on street cans; Mrs.
Robert French, committee to visit
grocery stores.
1t was decided that fund of 800
was needed for the use of committee
to prosecute the work. A larger
committee will meet again at the ST.
Johnsbury House Thursday evening
at eight O'Clock to complete the or
gaEization. Sixty-five dollars was
pledged at this meeting for the work.

caliber pistol, James II. Ware, Mas

shot himself in the head four times
this morning about 10:3Q O'Clock and
died at 2:45 O'Clock this afternoon
without regaining consciousness. Mr..
Ware had been in i'll health for
about a year, suffering from ner-

DR.. c. II. Wallin and his two sons,
both of them physicians, were hur-
riedly called in and hasty eXamin-
alton showed that Mr.. Ware had shot
himself four times in the temple, the
other two wounds being superficial
The weapon. used was such, that after
firing one shot, the cartridge shell
had to extracted with the fingers and
a fresh cartridge introduced into th'
barrel. This was done three times be-
fore the victim fell unconscious. The
first three shots were not heard, due
to the fact that Mr. Ware was stand
ing over the vault of the bank.
The physicians ordered Mr.. ware
taken to his home and did every
thing possible to rivive him withou
success. While his case seemed hope

ing been brought out or substantial
ed by a thorough agricultural sur.
vey of an old and representative farm
ing section of Chester county, Pa
These principles are summarized as
follows:
Farming conforms to local soil, eli
mate, labor, and market conditions
as well as to business conditions OF
the individual farm
When conditions remain unchanged
for long time, farming becomes APP
proximately what it ought to be TO
get the best results. provided that
practice which is = Immediately the
most profitable does not deplete soil
fertility. 81
Success in farming, measured in
per cent of profit on investment, does
not depend on the magnitude of the
farm business, but measured in terms
of the standard of living of the farm
tn,,, .'-' it is directly proportional to
the magni.paH of business.
Profits increase to-, ieius per "oie
increase until the yields ara. oohsio-
erably above the average for locare..'
but beyond this point increased yields
are obtained at a loss.
In quantity of product per dairy
COW the Point of diminishing re-
turns is not reached in ordinary farm
practice.
1t is easier and more profitable to
increase low yields per acre than
high ones, and small product per COW
than large product. In other words,
profits can be increased more easily
by attention To the weakest points in
farming system.
There is a way of grouping the
enterprises of a farm that Is more
profitable than any other way; thai
is. there is a certain most profitable
1 acreage for each crop and a mos'
profitable proportion of income from
any one source.
Some enterprises, such as poultr!
keeping, may easily he made profit
able as side lines, yet are difficult t
make profitable when made man
feature of the farm business.
Production costs much more pc
bushel or per ton on the small farm
than on the large farm of SAM
type.
Diversity of business is an impor
tant factor of success on the averag
farm. a moderate degree OF diver
sity is better than either extreme.
These principles together with tn
figures which serve to establis
them. are discussed at length in
bulletin entitled Farm Management
Practice in Chester county, Pa. abou

work, the result of survey carrie
out by the Office of Farm Manage
- ment. embodies a very eXhaustiv

Legal Fight For 100 Votes is Begun

Frank fort, Ky, Nov. 17.-Another
big legal battle for the Office of Secre-
tary of State begins tomorrow at Hop
kinsville. The hearing on the injunc-
ton prayed to compel the Christian
County Election COMMISSIONERS To
rcassemble and deduct 100 votes
from the total OF 1913 votes counted
for Barksdale Hamlet in Longview
Precinct will be held.
James j. Lewis, Republican candi-
date, claims that Hamlet only re-
ceived GO votes in Longview Precinct
The Christian county Election Com
missioners have expressed their Will
lingness to make a recount and re
certification. Hamlet, however, ask
ed for an injunction to restrain then
from making a recount or recerti
fcation.
The trouble arises as a result OF
clerical error. HAMLET claims tina
the vote was counted correctly al
certified to.
An injunction against the Stat
Election Commission to restrain tn
commission from issuing the certifi
cate OF election to Hamlet is pro
bable.
Attorneys for Lewis declined TO
night TO discuss this proposition. al
tho il is the report about the Capito
that such a proceeding is probable
IL is almost certain TO come II tn
court proceedings are not complete
before the State Election Conmissio
reassembles Monday.
