Worlds Largest Tale Center?

Barre, famed for its granite, is not

world Rochester has long been claim

superintendent of one of the largest pro-
ducing companies in the state writes in
proof of the fact. Moretown,P rival of
Rochester. East Granville, Cambridge,
johnson, Windham and Chester Depot, or
their vicinities, also contains substantial
! deposits.
What he says substantiates in part
what The Free Press asserted in a frag-
mentary way lately. He writes:
"There is no question but that Roches-
ter is correct in it's claim about being the
leading tale center in the world, as it has
the largest tale mill in the world at pres
ent and the capacity of this mill is also
the greatest of any mill in the world, its
total output being between $500 and
1000 tons month throughout the year.
"The expenditures for new machinery
are constantly being made to the extent
of probably $4,000 to $4,000 year, and
the business is constantly growing.
vermont is second only to New York
in the amount of tale produced"
The variety of uses that tale may be
put to viii surprise the ordinary reader,
who hears of it only in the form of
powder. Industrial Vermont" says:
"Talc is used in the manufacture of pa
per and rubber, and in sizing and bleach
ing cotton cloth, in the manufacture of
toilet powders, soaps, shade cloth and
curtains, waterproof paint, gypsum wall
pasters, in dressing skins and leather,
in the manufacture of insulators, and in
the ceramic arts"

Now That We Have Bought Them-Let's
Bury Them.

In the August American Magazine,
"Sid" says:
"Well, you and have got our Liberty
bonds, In buying them | suppose we
think we have conferred great favor
on Uncle Sam. And in a way we have.
But looking at it another way we are
just plain lucky--lucky that situation
arose which compelled us, for at least
once in our lives, to put aside something
for a rainy day, and to put it aside in
the most conservative and solid form.
That little old three and half per cent.
may not look very big to us-but the
money is safe. That is the main thing
John Rockefeller may lose his wits and
his coin and have to go TO an old mems
home, but those government bonds will
still be good. They are backed by Uncle
Sans power TO tax the combined assets
of the nation. Therein lies the peculiar
beauty OF a government bond The gov
eminent can do what no private corpora
tion can dot can 90 out and compel
people to pour in taxes enough to enable
the government W meet itS ouilRutloHos
North America would just about slide off
into the sea before anything could hap
pen to destroy the value of those bonds.
THE reason | am so emphatic about
the Importance of sound investment
like this is that | have been thinking
about the ordinary mans incapacity in
normal times to lay by and hang on to
money. You know we printed some
facts about this in the magazine not
long ago. They are facts which one of
the largest insurance companies in the |
world gathered. Here they are:
Take 100 healthy men at the age of |
25 and follow them At IS here is where
you will find them:
$50 will be dead.
81 will be very rich.
"a will be wealthy.
IS will be supporting themselves by
work.
"a will be dependent upon friends,
relatives or charity.
"0r, to sum up, only five out of the "a
living will be well fixed The rest will
either not have saved anything because
Of their extravaganza, or they will have
lost their capital through trying to make
It yield an absurd return.
I'm other words, this Liberty loan is
,ne of the few direct benefits to be de-
lived from the great war-but a real ben
fit, nevertheless. For it encourages all
Of us to be thrifty, and to put at least a
part of our money into an absolutely
'afe place-where its protection does not {
depend upon any individual but is guar
lnteed by the combined assets and earn
ng abilities of whole nation 4
THANK God, therefore, for the Liberty !
oan. Hide these bonds and try to for.
ret them. They will be pretty little J

This Player Didn't Know Who Matty

Hugh S. Fullerton in the July Amer.

opportunity came. Fullerton says:

Between innings sat next to Boil Wee

done to the south would have made the
Belgisns think they got off easy. In
the tenth inning Boil Weevil busted one

DIED IN HIS OFFICE.
Harry M. Gipson of Brandon Had Been
Ill a Long Time.

Brandon, July 20.--Hary NJ. Gipson
died very suddenly yesterday in his office
on Seminary hill. He had been in fail.
| ing health for a number of years, but
was evidently feeling as well as usual
yesterday and went to his office as he
always did if possible.
He was born in Salisbury Sept. 10,
lS4S, and received a common school ed
ucation, locating here in 1871. He was
for nine years engaged in the mercan-
tile business under the firm name of E.
A. Hamilton g. Co., and for the last SO
years had been engaged in the lumber
business and was the oldest business man
in town.
Mr.. Gipson had held a number of i'm
portant town Offices, being selectmsn for
IL years, poormaster and water COM
missioner for a number of years. In
1890 he represented this town in the leg
islature.
Mr.. Gipson was public spirited man
and always took a great interest in
town affairs. He was married Novem-
Der Is, 1869, to Nellie NJ. Warehouse,
and besides his wife is survived by~two
sons, Arthur H. and w. Careos GIBSON,
both of this town, and one sister, Mrs.
Ella F. Rogers of this town.
He was a member of st. Paul's lodge,
No. 25, f. and A. NJ. The funeral will
be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at
the house. Burial will be in Pine Hill
cemetery, and will be in charge of st.
Paups lodge of Masons.

KEEP FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES IN
COLD STORAGE
Many Concerns Not Engaged in the Com
mereial Storage Business in Position TO
Take Up This Work, Say Specialists
of the United States Department
OF Agriculture.

Fruits and vegetables well may be pre-
served through freezing storage in the
present food emergency by concerns not
primarily engaged in commercial cold
storage operations, say specialists of the
United States department of agriculture,
Many hotels, restaurants and ice cream
factories are equipped with facilities for
refrigerated storage; and pie factories
and other large users of fresh fruits and
vegetables may find it advantageous TO
provide similar means for the preserya-
tion of their raw materials or utilize the
facilities of the large public cold storage
houses, with which most of the large
communities are provided.
The fresh products should be stored in
temperature of 10 to Is degrees Fab.
renheit until they are to be used. Sweet
corn on the cob, string beans, green lima
beans, beets, asparagus, parsnips, peas in
the pod, Budlong spinach, raspberries,
strawberries, cranberries, blueberries,
gooseberries, blackberries. loganberries,
currants, plums and cherries are among
the perishables that already have been
kept satisfactorily in this way to some
extent, the specialists point out. These
products, however, must be cooked with
in a few hours after removal from the
freezing temperatures.
Undoubtedly the extension of the prac-
tice by concerns having freezing storage
available, would help to a considerable
extent in reducing the waste of perish
ables. If such practices were adopted
generally, the canning of much food to
be held for periods OF six to eight months
could be obviated Tin cans, therefore,
could be released for more extensive use
in canning foods which could be pre-
served in no other way.
