of the death of their eldest child and
daughter, Mrs. Mary Hubert Rogers,
wife of the Rev. DR.. Edwin E. Rogers
of Bowling Green, o. The burial was
at Walingford, VT, October 16, which
would have been her 6lst birthday. A
mysterious development of Sarcoma

graduated from Burr and Burton Semi
nary, Manchester, VT, in 1874 and at
tended college both at Wellesley and
Smith, She taught at Beeman Academy,
New Haven, Vt. She spent the last

Her club and class work as well as
literary pursuits kept her busy nearly
to the end, and her originally in plan
ming for her friends drew about her a
very large circle. Her aged parents

YOU R LAST CHANCE
TO GET AN ALLOWANCE FOR
YOUR OLD CREAM SEPARA-
TOR IN EXCHANGE
FOR A NEW DELAVAL

The great increase in all manufac-
turing costs, without there having been
any advance in DeLaval prices, COM
pels us to discontinue all exchange al
lowances to purchasers Of new DeLaval
Separators who have been using old
machines, of whatever make, on No
vember Ist, 1916.
If your present machine is partly
worn out, or for any reason is not CIV
ing satisfactory service, it would be
greatly to your advantage to replace it
with a DeLaval, even if you could get
no credit for your old machine toward
the purchase of new DeLaval
But when you are offered, in addi-
ton to getting a machine that will do
better work and produce better cream
and more Of it, an extra inducement
in the way of liberal allowance for
your old machine, you cannot afford
to let such an opportunity slip by.
There is no use in trying to get
your money back by continuing to use
half worn out or inferior cream sep
arator. You are only adding to its
original cost every day you use such a
machine.
Remember, this is your last chance
to get the exchange allowance. See
the DeLaval selling agent whose name
appears at the foot of this announce
ment right away and get our exchange
proposition.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 9.-The di-

marital infelicity in this country, says
the commission on family life, which
reported at today's session of the
quadrennial meeting of the federal

stistics and discussions of many
phases of the complex problems of
marital relations.
AS to divorce, it says: "At this mo-

when we are seeking, therefore,
remedies for the evils Of our lax mar.
riage and divorce practices our ulti-
mate and most effective method will
be found in such instruction as the
churches may give to their adherents.
supplemented by such work as the
educational institutions of the country
may be induced to undertake. This
instruction will bear upon the ideals
of marriage. It will teach that mar
riage is not contracted as mere con
venience and for prudential reasons.
that it is not even primarily intended
solely for the personal happiness of
those who contract it; but that it is
indispensable to the proper filling out
of the life of human beings, that it
is one of the most effective methods
of developing character, and that the
preservation of the integrity of mar
riage and of the family institution
as a whole is the only process by
which a truly divine order for society
can be maintained.
mo legislation, however sagacious-
ly framed, can ever effect complete

are now so abundant will commend

The Associated Press dispatch which
was the subject of DR.. Zimmerman's
discussion dealt with the various ques-
tions in the International situation to
which President Wilson and the state
departments were developing their at
tention. The dispatch declared that
the most spectacular and disquieting
of the problems was the submarine
situation with Germany, five critical
cases being involved, one with the
loss of six American lives and the
others having to do with American
ships. The American attitude was de-
scribed as uncompromising. Ships
must not be sunk without warning Or
without provisions for the safety of
passengers facing high seas or dis
tant shore.
The relations with the entente al
