Mail for the Men Abroad.

Local Red Cross branches have re-
ceived information of Importance to
all who have friends and relatives
n the service abroad, relative to send
ing Christmas presents.
In brief each man will be allowed
but one Christmas parcel, and that
will be of standard size and shape and
not to exceed three pounds in weight.
A standard box or carton has been
purchased by the government and
is being supplied to all Red Cross
organizations. A special address
label is being given the men abroad,
who are to send this to some one here
and packages not labeled with this
label will not be transported. The
person receiving this label can get
one of the cartons from the Red Cross
with such instructions as to what
may and may not BE sent as the
government deem wise.
The Christmas package must then
be inspected by the Red Cross and
that organization will mail it. No
packages will be accepted after No
vember Is.
This is considered necessary by the
military authorities as shipping room
is limited and experience points to
the necessity Of restrictions on the
general public mailing packages to
our soldiers.

l.. Nj. Hubbard.

L. M. Hubbard, who has been suf-
fering from form of paralysis since
receiving a fall in December, 1917,
died at his home on Hubbard hill
Friday, having only returned from
Westmore the Tuesday before where
the Hubbards had run the Willoughby
House the past season.
Mr.. Hubbard was born in st. Johns
bury Center, on November 5, 1852
but came to Barton with his parents
when three years of age and has
lived here ever since, with the ex-
ception of five years when he was
private coachman for Sis Thaddeus
Fairbanks at St. Johnsbury.
On November ID, 1878, he married
Lucy A. Weed, who survives him, as
we'll as one son, N. M. Hubbard of
Barton and one daughter, Mrs. F. E
Richmond of this place.
Funeral services were held from the
home Sunday, Revs. J. G. Stevenson
of Lyndonville and w. A. Warner of
Barton officiating, and interment was
In w. y. Brown cemetery.
Mr.. Hubbard learned the jewellers
trade of E. E. Rawson in this town
and bought Mr.. Rawson's business
which he conducted until he sold to
Carl Aldrich, who learned the trade
of Mr.. Hubbard Before selling this
business Mr.. Hubbard was elected
town clerk, the duties of which office
he attended in addition to his busi-
ness. This office he held 22 years.
Mr.. Hubbard has often conducted
the dining hall at the fair grounds
and has conducted similar places at
other fairs, and for the past two
years or more has managed the
Crystal Lake house in Barton. He
was man we'll liked and had con-
tributed to the growth of the village
in the building of the house on Main
street now owned by o. H. Mossman
as well as the two houses on Hub
bard hill where he had lived for the
past few years.
Mr.. Hubbard was a member of the
Episcopal church.

Big Fire in Troy.

The large set of buildings in South
Troy village owned by w. E. Brock,
formerly the Aiken, or DR.. Grey place
was completely destroyed by fire
Sunday morning. The chimney in
the house burned out in the morning
but there was no thought that there
was fire in the roof, but an hour
later the roof was discovered on fire
and the high wind famed the blaze
which rapidly spread.
There being no fire-fghting system
in the village, the old bucket brigade
i'd valiant work. Help came from
Westfeld, Lowell, North Troy and
Newport and trucks brought water
from the river, but it was soon seen
that the Brock house and barn were
doomed. The hope of saving the
Floyd Miller residence just to the
north of the Brock buildings was
abandoned and the buildings across
the street still further to the north
were worked upon. These were saved.
Brock had run the large house as a
hotel and previous to fixing his hall
into a store used the large barn as
a feed store. The loss in Brooks
case is set at $4,000 and in the case
of Floyd Miller at $500.
Most of the personal property in
both sets Of buildings was saved.
Troy has suffered several disas-
trous fires in the past few decades and
in no instance has the property been
replaced. Mr.. Brock has not an
nounced his plans as yet.

New Cooperative Creamery.

From the last issue of the Orleans
County Agricultural Association News
bulletin:
The farmers around Holland are
nearly ready for business in their new
cooperative creamery plant. They
completed their organization in July
and since that time have been getting
equipment together and looking for a
manager. They have at last found a
manager, John Ainsboro. 1t is ex-
pected that the equipment will be in
place so that this creamery can begin
operation the first of November.
This organization is a truly COOP
erative organization. Each share
holder has subscribed for stock to the
amount of at least SIS per cow and
any new patrons who deliver their
products to the creamery when it be-
gins operations will be required to
take out stock to the amount of at
least SIS per cow and to pay down at
least one-half of this amount in cash,
the remainder to be taken out of the
cream checks at the rate of &c per
pound on butterfat until the stock is
fully paid up. This is absolutely
sound business for a cooperative Or
ganization. This is the second COOP
erative creamery that the Agricultur-
II association has assisted in organic
ing within a year.

From the latest issue of the Cor
leans County Agricultural Associa.
tion News"
Some of the farmers are showing
excellent judgment just now and are
laying in their winters supply Of
feed. There is no denying the feed
situation-it is serious now and will
be extremely acute before the winter
is over. Buy or order now and buy
some high-grade balanced ration un-
less you can obtain cottonseed, bran
and hominy at once. Bran and cot
tonseed are practically unobtainable
at any price and hominy is way up. 1t
will not be question of price this
winter, it will be a question Of obtain
ing feed. Buy now and be safe.

Agricultural Association Notes.

Owing to Withdrawals and rejec-
tlons of loans the Orleans County
Farm Loan association was left with
only one officer and only two or three
loans closed, early in the spring.
Hence it was impossible to do busi-
ness and make appraisals of property
| In the absence of a loan committee
standing was called recently and
vacancies in the board of officers and
loan committee were filled. The
following is the board of directors OF
the Farm Loan association:
President, J. A. Griggs, North Troy
Vice-Pres., w. R. Connal, Newport
Center.
Sec.-Treas., H. F. Johnson, Newport
M. G. Durivage, Lowell.
1. P: Dutton, Brownington.
F: w. Hastings, Glover.
D. E. Minard, Newport.
With this new start, this organ
ization ought to prove more and more
useful to the farmers of this county
The loan committee wishes to serve
all new applicants as promptly as
possible and the long wait neces-
STATED to the applicants of the past
season will be done away with in the
future.
Up to the present seven of the
community committees have met this
fall and discussed plans of work for
the coming year. They have decided
first on the work which they wished
to see done, and which the farmers
of that particular community were
interested in, and then a man has
been placed in charge of that work
on the committee. In a few COM
munities the women have discussed
plans for their work and different
ones have taken charge Of definite
pieces of work. Announcement of the
women leaders of the various COM
munities will be made at later date.
