last and that Vermont is giving evidence
already Of breaking forth into a SPLEEN
dorous spring-the more wonderful be-
cause of the marvellous transformation
from the GOODNESS of the winter months.
To the stay-at-homes the year through
there is compensation enough for the
hard winter in the sight OF warm, nur-
turing nature gradually asserting herself
in the very stronghold of the frost king
himself, to see the fields thrust them
selves through the thick mantle of snow
as if awakening from long sleep, to
see the grass go through the various col
or changes from a dull brown to a pale
green and then to an ever deepening
green, to see the tender shoots of vege-
tation peeping forth into strange world,
to see the buds crowd forth on the limbs
Of the quivering trees, TO hear the cheer
ful lays of the returning migratory birds,
to feel the earth warming to the life
giving care of the sun--in short, to know
the approach of spring. All this is just
at hand. Those who have stayed through
the long winter months rejoice in the re-
awakening. Indeed, they are so pleased
that they make haste to send abroad the
news to the temporarily exiled Vermont
ers to return and enjoy it with them.
Vermont no doubt calls the latter in
ever-strengthening invitations to come
back to the home state and participate in
the Joys Of nature where nature revels in
her grandest garments, in her most en-
trancing glories and in her most eapti-
waiting moods. Come back, all We Yer

The new flour mill has now been
running a week and the least that a
be said is that it is filling all expecta-
tions. The first bread made from the
flour was made last Thursday at the
Aaberk restaurant, of the first days
grinding, and it produced a beautiful
light, white loaf fully the equal Of
bread made from any flour. This was
gratifying news to us and we wish Mr.
Lestrud success in his new venture.
and considering the fine quality of the
product we believe that the new mill
will be a paying investment for him
and means Of drawing trade to town,
which advantage all will share.

had been shipped from the factory

kerosene. The kerosene that has been
used in the engine is western oil, and
of course nothing else could be ex-
pected than that the engine would not
work as we'll under that condition.
