This From Geo. Brill

The following letter to II. K. Holbrook
from former station master Brill, will be
read with interest by many here:
NEWPORT, N. H., June 18th, 1918.
Friend "Herm.":
Well, how's the whole d family of
you; it's been long time since anyone
has said word, and guess you are all as
busy at we are down here; it is a rush
everywhere, guess.
IT, you know Of any man up there that
wants good job, tell linn to write to
me and | can get him placed quick.
There are no men left in this town, or
any other, guess. Milo got his COM
mission June 1st, and expects to be
placed at Camp Dix until fall, ahd then
it's lover there" L guess. He has been
at Camp Gordon, Ca, drilling recruits
for the last two months. He writes me
that he will drill them for couple of
weeks, just enough to get them to know
enough TO keep their heads up, and then
they are taken away and a new batch
given him. l expect him home for
twenty days very soon now, unless the
arrangement is changed. He never
knows for twenty minutes what's coming
uext. He enlisted at Laconia, was placed
at Camp Constitution, sent from there
to Camp Devens and from there to
Springfeld; from there to Fort Oge-
thorpe, Ca, and from there to Camp
Gordon.
Who has gone from the old town? and
are any of them known to me?
My little Mabel, three years old, was
run over six weeks ago, and is still in
Mary Hitchcock hospital at Hanover.
She was run over by load of sand and |
broke her hip, but they expect a COM
pIete recovery. She is over the worst of !
it now and is sitting up each day for |
time. We go over every Sunday. She |
was my little chum, and it was a pretty !
hard thing to stand. With her and Milo |
both taken away, it makes pretty sor-
rowful house at the Brill place, and |
young George wants to get into the navy,
but l will attend to that for couple of
years anyhow.

Yours Is Corning. WiIIiaml

Bad as things are, it is impossible
not to smile at William Hohenzollern.
OF the Russian peace he said:
1.-THE complete victory fills me with
gratitude. 1t permits us to live again
one of those great moments in which
we can reverently admire Gods hand
in history"
Did a more sanctimonious scoundrel
ever cut a throat?
All, William You rest on the knees
Of the gods, and far from safety. Any
moment, over you may go, face down,
and our turn will come to admire Gods
hand in history, applied with en-
phasis where it will do most good
Life.

MELTING POT FAILS TO MELT
Trouble Is, According to Writer, That
the Stocking Of the Fires Is
Neglected.

This melting pot of ours has been
asked to melt up more different kinds
of stuff than the department of min
eralogy ever heard Of It's got more
things in it than New England boiled
dinner, or rummage sale, Porter EN-
erson Browne writes in McClure's.
And to have gotten all these ingredi-
ents properly melted would have meant
that every second man was a stoker
and every first a coal miner.
But instead Of that, every second
man has been a motorcar manufacture
er and every first an open market.
And the result has been that so far
from melting these different ingredi-
ents, we haven't done anything with
them at all. They have just been
dumped in and lain there, here a pile
or Armenians, there a bunch Of Ger
mans, over yonder pile of Jews, and
beyond that chunk of Chinese. And
New York, which has been our biggest
receiving station, has come to take on
the appearance of one of those dishes
of hOrs d'oeuvres that you strike in
Italian estaurants-sardines in one
compartment, olives in another, sau-
sage in third, anchovies in a fourth,
and so on, all separate, distinctive and
individual
and as the United States comprises
4S states, so does each of our states
comprise 4S or more cities, and each
of our cities 4S different colonies of I'M
mixed and often unmixable national
tiles.

WY Celery. Dp

Celery seed should be sown in the
hotbed or Window box about the time
of the last frosrs in the spring, The
seed is very slow in terminating and
the plants are small and delicate.
They are improved by transplanting
at least twice.
Celery requires deep, rich, moist
soil with plenty of well-rotted manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow Gull
tivatiOn. In the garden, celery may be
planted after some early crop, such as
lettuce, radishes or peas. As soon as
the plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn together and
a little soil compacted about the base
of the plant to hold it upright. If the
blanching is done with earth, care
should be taken that the hearts of the
plants do not become filled. Boards,
paper or other material may be used
for blanching, but earthing up will pro-
duce the finest flavor.
Celery may be stored and kept for
winter use by placing it in old hotbeds,
and covering it with fodder or straw;
in trenches covered with coarse ma
nure or straw; in outdoor cellars; or
in the storage room in the basement.
Celery will test the skill Of the gar
dener about as severely as any crop he
may choose to grow, but no garden
product pays better for painstaking
care and effort than this crop.
