least this year. Last years output
was from HAT colonies OF bees
Each colony produced 1876 pounds Of

FARM BUREAU AGENT HELPS ALL.
Boy With Few Hens or Farmer with
Thousand Acres.

An enterprising 10-year old boy in
Brattleboro bought 30 hens to try to see
what he could do for himself Through
the papers and otherwise he had heard
of the poultry culling work that was
going on and one afternoon he called at
the Farm Bureau and asked for some
one to help him Gull the boarder birds
from his flock. One afternoon a few
days later the county agent took time
to go over the whole flock with him,
showing him just how the culling was
done and explaining as to the best
method of feeding, etc Six birds were
discarded and there were several other
doubtful ones.
The Farm Bureau provides help foi
anyone whether a boy with few hens
or a farmer with a thousand acres.

Recent Letters Descriptive of the Life of the Boys

Capt. Harry F. Smith, formerly of

baseball players, has written letter
TO his mother, Mrs. s. C. Smith of Hins-

Dear Mother:
No doubt you will be surprised TO
get another letter from me so soon,
hut you, have, | suppose, got all the
news over there long before this about
the armistice being signed and this war
about finished. On the eleventh hour
of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month, things stopped here waiting for
peace terms to be signed, and although

loved ones for over a year, l was fully
repaid for the time have spent over
here in seeing the feeling let loose by
everyone, Young and old. Everything

| this city. 1t is not in the nature of a
| large parade, the same as we have over
there, but they just cannot keep still

most anytime and see from twenty to
fifty men, women, and children, locked
arms, with flags flying, and singing to
the tops of their voices, and this is

More Rheumatism
Than Ever Before
Clergymen, Lawyers, Brokers, Mechan
les and Merchants Stricken.

Our old friend Rheumatic is having his
inning this year, and a few words of eau
ton from one who knows all about it may
not be amiss
Wear rubbers in damp weather, keep
your feet dry, and avoid alcoholic drinks
If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica,
and you have sharp twinges, gnawing pain
or swollen joints or muscles, you can
usually get rid of all agony in Just a few
days by taking one teaspoonful of Rheuma
once day
All druggists know about Rheuma; it's
harmless, yet powerful: cheap, yet sure,
and a 75-cent bottle will last long time.
w. r. Root will supply you with the
understanding that it must rid you of all
rheumatic pains or money back.-Adv.

Use TO help. These committeeman will
be reported to the secretary of the
Farm Bureau.
Sometime before the campaign be-
gins the committee in each town will
have a meeting to divide the section in
to districts and provide each eanvasser
with a list of those to see. At these
meetings representative of the Farm
Bureau will be present and confer with
the committee on the needs of their
community and what measures can be
taken by them, in cooperation with
the Farm Bureau, TO meet these needs.

of work of its own for the coming year

ing to Commander Lamar r. Leahy, of Il

where in the Atlantic" who says in Il
letter to Ban johnson:
Baseball has been receiving a great
deal Of attention in France since the
Americans arrived. All the service or
ganizatlons have baseball teams. and a
great deal of rivalry has sprung up
among the various units. We hope to
have good ball teams at the naval bases,
and the ships are all preparing for it,
Most of the ships have eN-collCge players
on board so we ought to have some very
good teams.
There is tremendous rivalry between
the first and second of our naval squad
rons in these waters. ! am attached to
the pioneer squadron and 1t is proposed
that we shall represent the American
League in the coming combat this sum-
mer against the squadron that left the
states at later date.
The ships of our squadron are quite
well equipped with players, and it is my
conviction that we will be able TO de-
Nelop very strong teams
"In my mind there is no doubt that
after one summer in France baseball
will be the national game in that great
nation, as it is in America"
