 Such an opportunity has stimulated an interest in unusual instruments which ordinarily are seldom used. An oboe and basson, for example, have

 The success of the orchestra has been largely due to the untiring ef- forts of the conductor, Joseph c. Beebe.

 Washington. June 9.-The navy is now dry. Announcement was made by MT. Daniels. secretary of the navy. that he had sent to all naval stations the following message:
 "The department requested the opinion of the attorney genera! as to whether Section 12, Selective Draft act, approved May 1s, 1917. contain ing the prohibition provisions, applies to naval forces. Attorney general re- piled. in part, as follows: This de- partment has administratively con- strued the provision in question as covering the entire military estAb- lishment of the United States, includ- ing the navy and Marine Corps.' Please give this matter widest pub- licity."
 The section in question prohibits tho sale. gift or possession of spirituous or malt lQuors at any cantonment. quarters, post officers or enlisted mems club used for military purposes, or on any military reservation. It also makes unlawful the sale of intoxicat- ,lg liquors to "any oficer or member of the military forces while in uni- form," and authorizes the president to make regulations concerning the pro- hibition of alcoholic liquors in or near military camps.
 Naval officers still, enjoy a certain amount of freedom in this respect by comparison with officers of tho army. because, while on staff duty they are not obliged to wear their uniforms Army officers, on the contrary, must wear their uniforms and fall within the restricted class.
 Naval officers, however. in view of the opinion of the attorney general, are expecting the issuance of an order requiring them also to wear their uni- forms.

NEGLECTED. CHILDREN.
" There Were Fewer of Thorn There
Would Be Less Crime,

A st. Louis judge recently made the
statement In an address delivered be-
fore a local bar association that IF
one-fourth as much as is spent for
keeping up our courts, jails, poorhouses
and paupers was applied to help neg
lected city children make proper start
in life the high tide of crime surely
would decrease"
This is a remarkable statement to
make; but, coming from the source 1t
does, 1t is worthy of consideration Of
all philanthropic men and women. Had
the speaker made his statement more
general and applicable to the country
as well as to the cities 1t would all the
same be worthy Of credence
The life of every one depends largely
upon the start made. There are those
who are started right and then depart
from the straight but narrow path, but
they are the exception and not the
rule. Thousands of little unfortunates
may be said to be born criminals, the
offspring of criminal parentage. II
not so born they are so bred But 1t
is true, as said by this St Louis Judge,
that IL benevolent and righteous pub
lie would deal with the problem as 1t
might there would be less crime and
fewer criminals. Knoxville Journal

Lay a visiting card ON the tip of the
left forefnger and on it place a penny.
A quick flick of the card with the right
second finger will remove the card
without disturbing the coin. Another
trick which illustrates the inertia Of
bodies is to knock away the bottom Of
a pile of checkers without upsetting
the pile. This is effected quite easily
with the help of fat ruler. The re-
naming checkers are removed sue
cessively by number of smart blows.
A more spectacular and apparently
risky trick consists of drawing a news
paper away from under a glass filed
with water. Provided, however, that
the table is smooth and the paper be
pulled away smartly and horizontally
there is no danger of the water being

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending Feb. "a.

Cooperating with the Vermont School
of Agriculture and the Randolph Center
junior high school, a two-day farmers
meeting was held at Randolph Center
Thursday and Friday of the past week.
Both schools gave us good support in at
tendance and few of the surrounding
farmers were present The girls of the
| Junior high proved their ability in the
home economics department by serving
an excellent lunch both days of the school.
The exhibit of feeds, fertilizers and seeds
gathered by Mr.. Godfrey of the school
was interesting and instructive to others
than those of the school. The Junior high
with its training along the lines which
the majority of the pupils are going to
follow in after life is going to be an in
stitution known in many of our towns
before many years and fill long felt
want for vocational training in the reach
OF the many who cannot go away to
school,
The week ending March, 10 comes the
second extension school in this county
this season. Orange extension school be-
gins Wednesday, March 7, and continues
to Saturday, March 10, coming later in
the week than most schools owing to
town meeting breaking into the first OF
the week. At Orange both the agricul-
tural and home economics sections will
be present and large attendance is
looked for. The value of the extension
school is now too well known to need
further talk All that remains is for
everyone in the vicinity to tell his neigh
49,. +L,+ hn. h.
that they did not know of the school.
NJ. R. Tolstrup, in charge of market in-
designations for the state department of
agriculture, gave three very entertaining
and instructive talks on some of our mar
ket problems to the Randolph Center
farmers week, North Randolph grange
and Randolph grange. 1t is hoped that |
he can be secured for other sections later |
in the season. Any community wishing
to arrange for his visit to their section
can hasten matters by writing to the I
agent to that effect, SO he can
arrange more than one meeting at trip. |
Mr.. Tolstrup believes that our market
problems resolve themselves into three
simple steps on our part, the others will
largely take care of themselves if these
are followed The first is to have some
thing to market, second put it up in at
tractive packages and third make the
product uniform.
