Mabel; The story of the man who
drew away CARLOAD of postholes has
caused much speculation, among the I'M
informed, as to the method employed in
the performance. As per item in the
Barre Times Of Sept, 7, city employee
uses his foot in lifting a manhole.
Whether this method ia correct is not
stated, but as the foot was injured 1t
cannot be fully recommended, either for
moving postholes or manholes

GARDEN SOIL
= SHOULD Sf1 Be RICH
Make II. 50 in Your Backyard or Near
I by Vacant Lot and You'll Reap
Big Profit in Food Crops.

The soil is the most important ele-
ment in garden making. Without
good soil labor. seed, care, garden
knowledge, sunshine and. rain would
do no good. With good soil work,
seed. sunshine md rain will produce
profitable crops.
The best soils are of {. friable and
loamy texture, more or less sandy.
Heavy clay soils are hard to work,
retard plant growth and become
cloddy after rains. Clay soil may be
spading under sand or sifted ashes.
Wood ash is fine for tiny soil. Finely
sffted coal ashes may be used to adj
vantage on all heavy soils. especially
If the location is low and inclined to
become waterlogged after rains.
Vegetable garden soil must be rich
to get the biggest possible crops. 1t
must contain a certain portion OF
plant food material. Well rotted
n supplies both the plant food
and the humus, or plant fiber rotted
kindly This humus makes the soil
loose. mellow and easily worked. II
retains. moisture and makes 1t pos
sible for the tiny roots OF plants to
shoot outward and downward. With
out a good DOT growth plants cannot
feed OF water themselves. and the
matured fruit is poor in quality.
The top soil should be at least the
depth of the spade. Root crops

SPRING WORK !.
IS UNDER |, WAY
Season Has Been More Rapid
Than Building Activity, But
Work is Being Started.

Two conditions have. operated to
cause less evidence of building ac-
tivity than Is usual when the season
is as far advanced as it is at present.
The season itself is deceptive, and
while the general conditions Of
weather and growth are about as
they usually are by the first of May,
just entered April. Hence much.
work that has been planned for this
spring has not vet been started. And
war conditions are responsible for
some stacking off in building opera
tons. here as elsewhere.
Nevertheless. the city is expanding,
and there must be buildings to take
care of the expansion. New homes
must be built, because new families
are coming in to occupy them, and
new business buildings must be con-
trade. @
city already begun or to be started at
once are the following:
DR.. Engstad is having a double gar
age built at his residence. Estimated
ttost $500.

residence Of Joseph Mahowald, esti-
mated cost $500.

The Dedication

The dedication Of the new
Baptist Church in Roy Sunday
attracted a crowd of Baptists and
many others to the Church at IL
A. M. The entire audience from
the Christian Church and Union
Sunday School went in q body to
swell the crowd.
Rev. Dawn preached 'the
dedicatory sermon and afterward
gave an opportunity to help pay
off the outstanding Indebtedness
of about $625.OO, Subscriptions
amounting to over $5OO.0O were
made at this time, and the keys
were formally deliverded to the
fDeacons.
Following the service, a dinner
was spread outside the church
which rivalled anything ever
attempted. The large audience
was made the guest of the bapt-
ist people and enjoyed the feast
immensely. After noon a social
session and song service was
held and in the evening the
Baccalaureate Sermon was deliv-
cred to the graduating clssSes OF
the Roy Schools by Rev, W. c.
Heaton, of the Methodist Church
The house was packed with a
mostintercsted audience and his
text Launch out into the deep"
was skillfully presented and
many lessons taught in Q practl-
cal and pleasing manner with the
inimitable wit and earnestness OF
this brilliant young Minister.
Not a word in his sermon but
was applicable and fitted to the
occasion. The classes made a
pleasing picture as they filed in
and took their seats as honorees
Of the occasion and few. schools
can make a better showing. One
boy and FIVE girls compose the
High School class and nine boys
and seven girls the eight grf &c
class.

Following the services Rev,
Dawn was urged to Go over the
top"with the subscriptins for
cancelling the debt on the church
and he presented the matter Of
finance again so effectively that
the balance of $125. 90 was pledg-
ed in a few minutes, and ap-
plause was hearty and sincere at
the announcement.

civic pride to Roy, regardless Of
religious preferences. 1t was

Pink Gum, professional archi-
tect and the plans. were faithfully
carried out. The result is the best
