Men between the
ages of Is and As are
wanted to fill the
ranks of the First
Vermont regiment
now at Westfeld,
Mass, now in the
u. S. service,
This is a volunteer
regiment and the men
are paid $40 per month
more than the drafted
men. Enlist now as
the draft is sure to be
used to call out more
men a little later. Men
vill feel better to vol
.nteer than to wait
and be drafted and
their pay is more.
The First Vermont now at
Westfield is expecting soon
to go south for the winter
and to France in the spring
1t is one of the best chances
offered to join the army.

Hope and Faith.

Hope is the boy, blind, headlong,
pleasant fellow good to chase swallows
with salt; Faith is the grave, expert
enced yet smiling man. Hope lives on
ignorance; open eyed Faith is built
upon a knowledge of our life, of the
tyranny Of circumstance and the frail-
ty of human resolution. Hope looks
for unqualified success, but Faith
counts certainly on failure and takes
honorable defeat to be form of vic
tory. Hope is kind old pagan, but
Faith grew up in Christian days and
early learned humility In the one
temper a man is indignant that he can
not spring up in clap to heights of
elegance and virtue; in the other, out

Crest of the Bloody Hand.

The noted English family of the
Hotties has for it's badge bloody hand.
and this sinister badge commentaries
a wager that ended in a crime. Sir
Thomas Hottie one day in 1912 was
hunting. He invited his comrades
home with him to dinner, and as he
rode along he made heavy bet on his
cooks punctuality. But the cook failed
him for once. When he got home din

hand of the cook killer.

was closed in Chicago whereby the A.

this city, was sold to Mr.. Morey, WIN
in turn has disposed of an interest in
both of his properties here to Armour
& Co. Mr.. Morey, however, we are
told, retains controlling interest and
will be at the head of the business.
One result of this deal involving prob
ably forty or forty-ive thousand dol
lars will be the establishment here of a
milk condensary in the very near flu
ture which will further stimulate the
dairy industry in this section. In which
building the condensary is to be located
has not been definitely decided, but it
probably will be in the Olson plant
which is equipped with ice-mal-ing ma
chinery. Either building will have to
be enlarged in order to afford room for
the condensing apparatus. The farm
ers gathered Friday at the Olson milk
plant adopted a motion to adjourn one
week till 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The price to be paid by the Armours
for milk at any season of the year is
ten cents per hundred pounds below the
Chicago market.
