GROWING WORK OF
EXTENSION SERVICE
Number of Groups in Boys and Girls
Club Work Doubled in Past Year
Membership Nearly $500.

The annual report of Z. l.. Ingalls,, IN
charge of boys and girls club work in
the agricultural extension service fol
the year ending June 80 will show ma.
telal progress over last wear. Up to
June 30 there were 1870 enrollments
and l52 organized groups or clubs. Halt
OF the total number of Would-be farm
ers and farmers wives were in these
clubs, while the other half were mainly
individuals working independently. On
June 30, 1915, there were only rs
groups and a total of 1889 youngsters
at work. The proportions in and out
side of the groups were about equal
Among the recommendations which
Mr.. Ingalls, will make in his coming re
port, to be issued at the end of the
year, will be to create certain new
clubs-an apple and a maple sugar club,
for instance-to meet needs that have
long existed, but have not been filled.
There were II Of these so-called prof
ects this year, covering the raising of
corn, potatoes, gardening and canning,
pig-raising, live stock-raising, bread
baking, handicrafts, etc. Eighty-nine
towns, among which every county in the
state was represented, were covered.
The year has seen the beginning Of
a tendency on the part of towns and
communities to employ club-leaders Of
their own, consisting of an adult liv-
ing III the particular locality. The
town of Lyndon, for example, has one,
through an understanding with Lyndon
Institute Pittsford employed leader
also, the school board and a well-to- do
individual OF the village sharing the
cost. Teachers have been found to be
excellent leaders.
The public schools, Oranges, high
school and training classes, boards of
trade and like organizations, women s
clubs and parent-teacher circles have
worked with the clubs advantageouslv
Frequently the adult bodies have
helped a good deal toward the start
ing of the clubs. The various contests
with which the clubs have been busy
are now being concluded.
The extension agricultural depart
ment is keeping Miss Thayer and its
other field workers still busy with

TWO MORE PARALYSIS CASES.
Burlington Now Has Three Sick-Got
Disease Out of CITY.

BURLINGTON, Oct 25.-Two new
eases of poliomyelitis have been found
III this city by Health Officer DR.. f. J.
Ennis, making in all three cases in
Burlington. 1t is also thought by local
health officials that there has been an
other case IN the city, which was dis
covered IN the family where a child is
now Ill with the disease.
II. James Bray, truant officer, while
looking up truants in the north part of
the city Monday morning came upon
child Playing upon the street whom
he thought should be in school He
went into the house where she lived at
IS First street to inquire why she was
not in school and met the mother, Mrs.
Meddie Dubriel. Mrs. Dubriel explained
that her children were not in school be
cause they were ILL., She has three
daughters, aged ten and six wears and
one q months. She told the truant
officer that they had been i'll and that
she had not aseertained what was the
trouble with them. A physician had
been called. She also stated that the
baby had lost the use of her limbs
and showed the child to Mr. Bray. Mr..
Bray, suspecting poliomyelitis, told the
woman to keep her children indoors
and communicated with the health of
ticer, who after visiting the children
diagnosed the disease as poliomyelitis.
1t is also thought that one of the girls
has had the disease. Mr. and Mrs.
Dubriel and their children moved to
this city from Brigham hill, which is
about six miles from Essex about two
weeks ago, and it is very probable that
infection was had at Essex, where
there has been a ease of infantile paral-
ysis.
The other case reported Monday is
that Of Marguerite f. Skelly. the three
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ,
Skelly of 3S4 St. Paul street.
All of the cases found so far have
been those of children who have re

city, can be traced.

HUGHES SURE HE
WILL WIN ELECTION
Republican Presidential Nominee i!
Pleased with Conduct Of Campaign
To Speak in Boston.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-NO better ev-
idence OF the fact that Gov. Hughes is
the real manager of his campaign can
be found than his adherence to his de
termination to speak in Boston. Until
Sunday his managers were inclined to
urge him to omit Boston and spend all
of the remaining time until election
day in New York and the Middle
West. The nominee, however, be-
lieves he will carry almost every state
outside of the solid South, and he made
VI his mind long ago that he would
make at least one speech in Boston.
Mr.. Hughes believes that in Massa-
chusetts the moral issues of his cam
paign have been more vigorously stressed
than il other states; that in Massa-
chusetts the reunion between the Re
pubhcans and Progressives has been
more completely cemented than in
some other states, that III Massachus-
etts the determination to rid the ma
tion of Mr.. Wilson is so strong as to
entitle the people of that common
wealth to hear him at least once in a
long speech and that speech he will
make in Boston Thursday night.
One of the first questions the Gov
ernor asked after his return from the
West was as to the size of the major
ity Senator Lodge is expected to roll
up. Nothing pleased him more among
the many reports awaiting him than the
fact that the senior senator from Mas
sachusetts, upon whose counsel he will
have to depend during the next four
years in the conduct of foreign rela-
tions, was by all the signs of the times,
going to win by one of the largest ma
iorities ever given any candidate for
public office in any New England state.
The campaign which Senator Lodge is
waging has appealed to Mr. Hughes as
the kind of campaign which makes
converts to the cause, and can be
counted in his Boston speech to ex-
press his confidence in and his gratifea-
ton over the militant leadership which
New England in general and Massa-

chusetts in particular has shown in this
campaign.
Gov. Hughes is confident of the re-
suit; he is not boastful about it, but
he is very earnest. His confidence is
based upon his belief that the aban-
donment of American honor, American
rights and American lives beyond the
border ald the three-mile limit is not
an abandonment upon which the people
of the United States will place the
seal of their approval. The Old
Guard 5 gloom has not affected Mr..
Hughes. lie is as confident of his
election as he was the day he was nom
mated, indeed, he is more confident be
cause he has been encouraged by his
trips to all parts of the country and
especially through the middle West.

PLATFORM CIRCULAR.

By the exposure of the Platform cir cular, the friends of Federation have a. view of their secret machinations to prop up their sinking cause and make the people subservient to their will. In this county the Platform gentry was never more busy than at present; cau- cuses have been held and they are unitedly acting on the plans of their circular, for the manufactory of free men, by having property recorded or those, who by arbitrary and unjust laws, are deprived of the rights of freemen, before the 9th of Decem- Der next. We hope xne friends of Federation will watch the movements of their adversaries, and counteract their efforts by timely exertion.
 On the platform circular, the Mer- curry says, when we see what extra ordinary pains are taken, by the Fed eralists to secure the next election, let the Republicans be vigilant. We can pretty well guess the awful forebod4 ings of those men who recommend to their party-'not to despair of the Republic, even in times of greatest danger They know nothing short of a united effort, and extreme rem1ss- ness on ours will prolong their .ill-got- ten and long-abused power. Be viz liant then. Republicans, do your duty and "the reign of terror will soon be oyer."

A Tax That Came to Stay
(New York world)

Speaker Clark is accurate enough for present purposes when he says that ''as long as the world spins on it's axis and slides down to the ec1ip- tic no political party of this country will ever go to the people on a pro- position to repeal the income tax" We repealed the tax after the Civil War, but more recent precedents do not in- dicate such action. Continental Eu- rope cannot spare it. Established in Great Britain as temporary expedi- ent, it has become the budget cor nerstone. Our states are adopting or considering it's use. Unless some jus- ter impost is suggested, which would be difficult, it is likeIy ro stay.
 The more reason for making it right; for broadening its basis and by direct taxation interesting larger number of citizens in national expen-

The occasion was the first birthday of the son and heir of pr. and Mrs. Banks and his name is Marsten Edson. He was very much present although he was the one jz the tail-end of the party, The sixteen were the guests.
