That the so-called "Lewistown way"
of co-ordinating country and city well

ests of the farmer population of the
county as well as the city resident, is
the right way is proven on frequent
occasions by the results accomplished
and the appreciation expressed in var

along broad and liberal lines the past

The many efforts along original lines

tarY L. D. Blodgett. In opening his

lowing self-explanatory letter:

/ While only there few minutes,
several matters came up for the at
tention of Mr. Blodgett For instance,
one rancher came in and took out a
membership in the chamber, stating
that he should have done so long ago.
He paid the nominal fee of $40 and
said that through the medium OF the
Farm Bulletin, published by the local
club, he had sold over $1,000 worth
of horses.
Three men came in looking for po-
sitions, and two of them were directed
to work. Another farmer came in and
asked for man to do chores on his
ranch and thus the third man inquir-
ing is likely to find place.
Just as the Democrat man
was leaving the office a prominent
rancher inquired Of Mr.. Blodgett as to
where he could buy carload of Mar
quis wheat. If such is in the market
you can bet that Secretary Blodgett
will see that the prospective buyer

The gardener should acquaint himself
with these conditions,
Beans and corn, for example, viii

these vegetables should be made about

FRATERNITY RUSHING RULEs.I

The fraternity rushing rules for the
college year of l9l6-l9l7 adopted by the
inter.fraternity council are as follows
First, the rushing season shall be open
through the summer and up to pledge
day, October 5, 1916; second, rushing
shall end October 4, at 1000 a, m. third
a prospective freshman may sleepin a
fraternity house his first night at Mid
dlebury only; fourth, bids shall be eX'
tended in the same written form as last
year, namely, they shall be mailed by
the president of the council so that
they will be delivered to the freshmen
in the eight o'clock mail on pledge day,
October 5, and the freshmen shall mail
answers, whether they accept the bids
or not, in the postoiiice by three O'Clock
the same day; fifth, no fraternity shall
say anything detrimental concerning
another; sixth, no fraternity shall give
a banquet to the freshmen outside the
chapter house; seventh, no fraternity
shall entertain freshmen in another
town for more than one mail; eighth,
no fraternity shall entertain freshmen
at any functions at which ladies are
present 1t is the idea of the inter-
fraternity council to save as much time
as possible and cause the least friction
between the several fraternities dur
ing the rushing season. For the last
two years different plans have been
used and finally the above has been
adopted. Each fraternity has two men,
bers on this board and a meeting is
held every two weeks during the col
lege year. DR.. Cunningham of the
philosophy department is president of
the council.
The new addition to the grandstand
at the Porter field is progressing rap

work along as fast as possible. The

How to Plan and Win Success In Your

There are few things more fascnat-
ing than the development Of u well
planned garden True, It will mean
many hours manual labor to prevent
the weeds and insects from running
your early spring labors, and the Wa
terlng can or the garden hose will have
to be called into use frequently, but la
Dor will pay large dividends in benefits
70 the gardener, TO say nothing Of the
reduction In the weekly budget of the
household.
The tomato vines will need to be tied
up and watched for cut worms, the
corn will have to be hoed and so will
the beans; the lettuce will have to be
transplanted and the beets thinncd out,
and there will be a hundred and one
other precautions that will have to be
taken to insure the proper results, but
each operation will have its special
benefits and lessons that will more
than repay for the trouble.
And during the development Of his
garden the wise gardener will note his
successes and defeats and store that
information away for use the following
year, Every failure will be an expert
ence to be avoided the following year
and every success an experience to be
enlarged upon. He will learn things
for himself, and every bit of knowledge
gained in that way will be worth

by some one else.
