PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The French Historians tell US that
previous to the 18th century French
Revolution, when Atheism became pre-
dominant in France. every effort was
made to exclude the name of God from
the text books in the schools az we'll as
all other books; that an effort was
made to have one day in ten instead of
one day In seven as a rest day These
two with a few others were some of
the factors leading up to that awful

Knocked He has appointed one day in
seven as His own and to be observed
as He has prescribed. He deals with
nations and individuals alike. When
France detied His commandments she
suffered and History has repeated it
self over and over in this respect from
its beginning.
When a man deties Gods command
ments he will sooner or later suffer for
it. God demands that we observe one
day in seven and worship Him in
His Church on that day and 10 rational,

ADDISON COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION.

The membership campaign of the Ad-
Olson County Farmers association
brought results. A definite program of
work was planned for the town commit
tees in order that every man in each
town should be asked to join the asso-
citation. The campaign was to have
been ended at the time of the March
town meeting This method does away
with half-hearted solicitation of mem
bors during the entire year. In several
of the towns very efficient work has
been done and as resulting member
ship. In other towns only a few men
have been approached and small mem
bership results. There are towns where
the association has done very little work
as yet and as a result the membership
is cut down. These towns will receive
especial attention during the coming
season.

defective chimney had set fire to the
woodwork and when the fireman ar
rived they found lively blaze under
way. After few minutes work the
flames were subdued by the aid of
chemicals. The damage, which was
slight, is fully covered by insurance.
The building which is an old landmark

TO TRAIN ARMY OFFICERS.

The movement which was started
several weeks ago by the students OF
Middlebury College and which resulted
in the establishment of local military
company, has been successfully brought
to the attention of the faculty. At a
special meeting held Friday afternoon
that body voted unanimously to recon-
mend that the trustees of the college
apply to the war department of the
United States government for the for
nation of unit of the federal officers
reserve training corps in Middlebury
college.
The present plan of military in
struction as conducted by the war de-
partment in colleges would involve the
detail of commissioned officer of the
regular army as military instructor in
the college. He would be a regular
member of the faculty and would give
both theoretical and practical instruc-
ton in military training.
Arms, equipments and uniforms
would be furnished by the government.
A corps of 100 students would have to
be maintained at all times.
Encouragement has been received
from the war department, stating that
the application will be considered as
soon as possible.

MILK PRODUCERS, ASSN.

MILK PRODUCERS ASSN.
The executive committee Of the New
England Milk Producers Association
has voted to fix the price of milk to con-
tractors for the six months beginning
April /, at approximately the price
which has prevailed during the winter,
but definite scale will not be adopted
until certain matters at variance have
been adjusted, A subcommittee, con-
sisting of President f. w. Clark, Secre-
tary Richard Pattee and l.. f, Mclntire
of the executive committee, appointed
to study marketing conditions, has
made several recommendations to the
general committee and is in conference
with certain contractors in regard to
particular features of the scale
1t has been found that the present
prices are not uniform at equal trans
portation distances and it is necessary
that an equalization be arranged accord
ing to the cost of laying down milk in
Boston. The committee has demanded
that each contractor give to the pro-
ducers supplying him the same pre-
NUNS in all sections and it is also ar
ranging that the contractors shall &C
cept delivery at shippngi points, the
dealers to pay the freight and assume
all risks of transportation.
Under new railroad regulations there
is variance in the transportation
charge every 20 miles aud the scale
adopted must be arranged to accord
with these charges. 1t is expected that
the contractors will be called on to
make several concessions in arriving at
final decision and the producers, also,
will do their part in reaching an amic-
able arrangement.
