FARM LOAN MEETINGS ARRANGED
viii be Held in ddlebury, Brls-
tol, Orwell and Vergennes,
Week of AUGUST 20

In order that the farmers of the
county may become acquainted will
the workings Of the Federal Land bank
and understand what is necessary in
order that the money may be borrowed
IRON TINS bank, series of meetings
viii be held in the county during the
week of August Goth. These meetings
have been arranged as follows.
Grange Hall, Middlebury, August
10Th, at 7'45 p, m.
Grange Hall, Bristol, August 2lst at
| 7ljp p, m,
Town Hall, Orwell, August 22nd, at
! 7;i5 p, m,
Grange Hall, Vergennes, August 23rd,
at 745 p. m.
II is deemed wise to hold these four
sectional meetings rather than to hold a
county wide meeting in order to make
It more convenient for the farmers Of
the different sections 10 attend.
A representative of the Federal Land
bank OF Springfield, probably A. j.
Higgins, appraiser for Vermont, will be
present at these meetings in order to
inform the men present as to the work
lnBs VI tne Dhnk, 10 answer any Ques-
tons and TO start an organization in
any section where il is wanted. II is
very probable that farm loan associa.
ton will not be organized in each of
these districts at least at the present
time but judging from the applications
made to the County Agent it seems
very probable that at least one and
possibly two farm loan associations will
be organized in the very near future.
AT present several of these loan ASSOC
cations have been organized in the
Springfield district and a few of them
are in Vermont State and seem to be
doing good work This bank has been
put at the service of the farmers
throughout the country and if needed it
should be used by the farmers of
Addison County as well as those in
other sections Of the East. All farmers
interested whether they intend to Dor.
row money from the bank or not should
attend one Of these meetings in order
to become better acquainted with the
workings Of the bank. 1t is very posi-
bic for practically every farmer in the
county to attend one of these meetings
without much trouble.

SUMMER DISEASE OF CATTLE
"Plnkeye" Is Especially Troublesome
=, pgCI1Q bet Neutrality-suspicious.
Results In Blindness" "S'rNeAs

"Pinkeye" of cattle is a common
disease, especially during summer
months, and sometimes results In total
blindness. 1t Is undoubtedly infec-
tious, and Is believed to spread from
one animal to another through the
medium of flies. The disease runs it's
course In ten days or two weeks, af-
fecting one or both eyes.
A profuse flowing of tears is the
first evidence Of the attack. The ami
NAL keeps the eye constantly closed,
for 1t is very sensitive to light. Grad
ually a film seems to form over the
eye and the ball becomes clouded.
Care at this time is very necessary
and may save the animal from blind
ness. Confinement in a comfortable
stall with all light excluded is the
best. Laxative food will put the ami
NAL in good condition to ward off
complications. If flies are allowed to
irr1tate the sore eyes they will prob
ably Spread the infection to other ami
mails.
Bathing the eyes In strong solu-
ton of boric acid is treatment cas-
lily applied and generally effective A
better method is to place few drops
Of the following mixture In the eyes
with a dropper: One-half grain Of
zinc sulphate, ten grams Of boric acid
and one ounce Of distilled water.

LOCAL COAL SITUATION
Consumers Have Stocked Up As
UspRi-Prices Now $3.50

The coal situation in Middlebury this
week was reported to be this: Con-
sumers have stocked up for winter
needs TO about the same extent as they
have done in previous years at this
season. There are several cars of coal
on hand, but most of il is booked for
delivery and new orders are at the risk
Of late delivery. Prices now ruling
are 49, 5Oa ton for both stove and chest
nut coal.
In this connection read the advice
given by the New England coal com
mittee:
I'VE think the only safe course for
New England consumers to pursue is to
purchase coal on a considerable scale
during the next ninety days, so that be-
fore the end of October they may be
sure to have on hand liberal supply.
New England has never been able to
bring in coal during the winter months as
fast as il must be burned. Our rail and
water facilities have been provided on
the theory that they would be kept busy
all the year round, and that consumers
would takescare of the heavy drain on
their Goa piles in winter by accumulat-
ing coal in summer. New England can
not possibly make up next winter any
slackening in the movement of coal dur
ing the next ninety days of favorable
weather.

NEED FOR COLLEGE MEN
Boys Should Go Ahead With Edu-
cation Plans

(By the Editor Of the Youths CompanionJ
The United States Commissioner Of
Education, Mr.. p. X. Caxton, empha.
sizes suggestion that many eminent
educators have recently made, namely
that now, of all times the boy who mas
been looking forward to going to col
lege should stick to, his purpose. Of
course, most of the boys who finished
their courses at the prepatory schools
last June are well under the age for
military service, yet it is only natural
that many of them feel the unrest of
the times and consequent disincina-
ton to stick TO classroom, lecture hall
and laboratory. But when the war il
over, the world will have need as never
before of men who have the best edu-
cation that our colleges and universities
can give them. Not only is the war de-
pleting the student bodies of those in
situations, but it is making serious
drain on many professions. During the
next ten years graduates of colleges,
universities and technical schools will
be more in demand than ever before
The boy who is prepared for college
should by all means enter in September
unless some cause quite apart from the
war deters him. II his country needs
him during his course, it will let him
know. In the meantime let him not
mistake the lure Of exciting scenes
for the call of duty.

Runaway on Main Street

Main street had a little scare or
Monday when team belonging to the
Sherbino cheese factory of Bridport
ran away Orwell McGinnis who had
driven the team to the railroad station
left the horses without hitching for a
second or two while he stepped into a
freight car, and they took fright from
some unknown cause. They dashed up
the hill to Main street drawing the
heavy work wagon behind them at a
furious rate. The Bread Loaf team,
driven by Prof. Boyce and other vehicles
narrowly escaped being side-wiped by
the runaway, which finally came to a
halt when the forward wheel locked
against the electric light pole near The
Register office. One of the horses fell
and the wagon wheel was badly
smashed.

WEEKLY TRADE REPORT
Bradstreets' Survey is Not Dis
couraging

Bradstreets Burlington, Vermont
office reports the main features of the
week $ reports comprise steady anC
insistent demand for all kinds of labor
both for the shops ard on the farm.
With harvesting crowding close on the
heels of the hay crop, which will pass
previous records, the demand for farm
labor is heavy. Reports from the
granite section indicate the volume OF
business in the hands of the manufac-
turers is large and the demand for stone
cutters is apparent. This applies to
monumental lines and quarries supply
ing stone for that purpose. Demand
for cutting tools and equipment is
heavy. No improvement is apparent
among the building stone trade which
has experienced much larger period of
quietness than has heretofore been
known. Manufacturers of paper state
there has been no improvement in de-
mand for general lines but that for
news print there is an active demand.
WaXed paper business shows up well.
State tanneries report export leather
business is as large as ever but domes-
tic demand is slow. There is not much
change in conditions surrounding honey
business over what was noted few
weeks ago. Price for extracted honey
is still unsettled. The demand for milk
and cream separators is larger than it
was year ago and there is an optomis-
tic feeling regarding further improve
ment in this line. Continued hot
weather of the past week has made it
difficult to keep volume of business up
to standard. Further damage to
property and standing grain is a result
of the severe storms of the week. Re-
tail merchants report shopping during
the week was intermittent, midsummer
sales, however, are being well patron
lied One failure was recorded in the
state for the week. Collectors, how.
ever do not show much improvement
although the average is placed at fair.

GIRLS BODY NOT FOUND
Bradshaw Murder Mystery is as
Deepa as Ever

Continued search has failed to dis
close any trace of the body of Alice
Bradshaw Of st. Johnsbury, the eight
year-old girl who is believed to have
been murdered onJuly 5. County At
torney James BY Campbell said that
while the search for the body had been
virtually abandoned for some weeks,
the state had no intention of setting
free the two women, Mrs. Alvin Ken
niston and Miss Eta May Hicks, who
are alleged to have confessed that they
killed the girl.
It was said Tuesday night there was
likelihood that the women might be
removed within few days from the
jail to the state prison at Windsor,
partly for observation as to their men
tai condition.

again went into another ore body
which proved to have a 10 foot
face.
Three holes have been finished
on the Turner land southwest OF
