The blowing of the rice mill whistle Monday morning was a pleasant sound to the people of Carlisle. The mill has been closed down for the past three weeks on account of not being able to get deliveries on rice, which was purchased some weeks ago. Mr. Roy states that the mill will have a three or four weeks run before closing down for the season. It's a pity such large institutions could not be kept running the year round, as they give employ ment to number of people. that will have to look up something else to do to keep them busy un- til the next milling season opens up. Such industries as the rice mill are what go to make a good town, and when they close down for a few months in the year their value to the country is keenly felt.

Printed Stationery

Printed letter heads and enve lopes are travelling advertisers. When a letter comes, it makes a big difference if it has a printed head and envelope. It looks like business and it is business of the best kind.
 The farmer needs just such printed letter heads. There should be something for sale on every farm and the letter head can he made to advertise it very chear ly It wilt also be found that the printed letter head will have quite an influence on the person receiving a letter, and upon the user of printed station cry himself The more he sees it the more pride will be taken in

Dehorning.

4 Bill has been introd uced in- to the present Massachusetts Legislature for the dehorning of all bulls in the Commonwealth over one year of age. That horn less bulls are far safer animals to care for than those with horns especially as they grow older, no one, probably will deny. The cruelties of dehorning are so brutal, however, that no humane man witnessing it would ever want to see it repeated. It would be far better if all calves while under two weeks of age were rendered incapable of growing horns by having the two spots where the horns start moistened and then rubbed with a stick of caustic potash until the skin is, not broken, but just reddened. No horns ever grow after that, and it is almost painless. We spoke against this bill at the hearing. and believe it will never be reported. .-Ex.

BIC CITIZENS MEETING Much Preliminary Work Ac- COmpliShed In OFganiz-

 ton and Bylaws
BEST MOVE FOR CARLISLE

One of the most interesting meetings of the season took place at Judge Billy's office Mon- day night when about all tbe business men of Carlisle met for the purpose of organizing per manent Board of Com merce.
 The meeting vas called to or der by Chairman c. s. Ayres and roll of those present was made by secretary l.. R. Kirby. The meeting was then open fo1 suggestions which were few but to the point, and it was not long until the election of a board Of directors was in progress. It was decided to elect five direc tors from the city and two from among the farmers of the con- munity adjacent to Carlisle.
 The meeting at once proceed ed with the election on open bal lot allowing each and every one to vote for whom he pleased talk ing his pick from the entire lot of business men present. The five receiving the highest mum Der of votes were to be declared elected and after counting the ballots it was found that the fol- lowing gentlemen had received the highest number ot votes: c. $. Ayres, J F. Gillespie. H. l. Buechley, M. G. Young. with a tie between L. R. Kirby and pr. B. A. Callahan. which was decid- ed by the flip of a nickel, Dr. Callahan taking heads and Mr. Kirby tails, which resulted in ia vor of the latter, adding Mir. Kir- by to the board, making it stand Ayres, Gillespie, Buechley, Young and Kirby.
 After completing this part of the election nominations were in order for candidates among the farmers from which to select the two dire ctors from the country. After several nominations had been made it was moved and sec onded to close the nominations. and proceed to ballot, which re suited in the cleo tion of A Zim- merman and Harry Neal to be added fo the above board mak- ing seven directors.
 This part of the organization being perfected more sueges tions were in order and Mr. Kir. by made a good one, which was to incorporate a freight traffic bureau in the board, which will be decided when the permanent board is organized.
 It was then moved that the meeting adjourn to meet again at the hall over the Bank of Car. lisle Monday night.
 After adjournment was taken, the new temporary board of di- rectors held a meeting to per feet plans to go on with the orga- nization and will report their ac- tions at the next regular meet ing of the citizens Monday night | when thorough and permanent | organization will be perfected.
 There was not a hitch in the meeting, but there was one amusing incident, and that was the dlciding of the tie between | pr. Callahan and Mir. Kirby, 1 when the doctor stated that he believed a job had been put up on hlm by using a nickel with | two tails

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Discussions
of peace haven't reached the stage yet
that the belligerent diplomats in
Washington are exactly chummy.
Hence the President again this year
is having two diplomats dinners in
stead of one-and the first is tonight
Ambassador Jusserand of France
being the dean OF the diplomatic corps
here, is the guest of honor. Others to
be seated about the executive table
in the state dining room of the White
House include representatives in
Washington of the entente allies and
neutral diplomats, together with their
wives.
Madame Jusserand will sit at the
presidents right and Ambassador
Jusserand at the right of Mrs. Wilson.
The Teutonic allies, together with
neutrals, will be represented at the
diplomatic dinner next Tuesday even
ing in the White House
Mrs. Wilson today is the ultimate
authority" on all invitations to White
House social functions. For the first
time in years, management of these
events has been transferred from the
executive officers to the mansion prop
err. AS a result, the number of invited
guests to the state events has fallen
off between fifty and sixty per cent.
Incidentally the new regime has
brought joy and peace to the minds
of assistant secretaries in the bust
ness wing of the White House. In the
past. the functions given by the Presi-
dent have been attended about equally
by those on the regular White House
lists and by those who request spec
ial invitations. Each reception is pre-
coded by letters and phone calls from
Senators. Congressman and others, ap-
pealing in behalf of themselves OF
others, for precious cards of admis-
sion.
Now it's all changed. The assistants
merely refer those asking invitations
directly to Mrs. Wilson or her secre
tary Miss Edith Benham. Hence tn,
big reduction in guests, noted for The
first time at the judicial reception.
