PLAIN QUESTIONS
TO BARRE PEOPLE
Every Barre Reader Will Admit the
Soundess of the Logic.

Would Barre people recon-.
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as
they do if the medicine were not
reliable? Would they confirm
their statements after years
have elapsed if their experiences
did not show the remedy to be
deserving of it? Statements like
the following must carry convic-
ton to the mind of every reader :
Geo. W. Lander, cigar manufacturer
" No Main street. Barre, says; My
back began TO bother me some ten Years
ago. ! used a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
and they strengthened my Kidneys .

What Marguerite Clark Heard People
Say About Her.

In an article which Marguerite Clark
has written for the December American
Magazine she says:
1.-TWO weeks ago | was in moving
picture theatre with my sister, watching
one Of my own pictures. Behind me sat
woman who was telling the man next
to her all about me. She was one Of
those persons who are wise to every.
thing. She knew SO much about me that
You would have been surprised that one
head could hold it all. According to her,
! was fifty years old had been three
times married and had worked in pic
lures ever since they were invented. We
fully expected to hear her tall, about my
but she left the theatre
before she got to them. The fact that
| did not look fifty she attributed to
the fact that | spent most OF my time
being massaged, enameled and what not.
If | did all the things the good lady ac-
cused me of | would never in the world
have any time for pictures"

ORANGE COUNTY FARM
BUREAU.
Notes for Week Ending Dec. ao.

The farm bureau extends best wishes
for happy and successful year to all in
Orange county. We cannot expect nor,
NAL year under wartime conditions, but
we feel there is good reason to hope for
better opportunities for the farmers of
| the country on whom so much depends.
| But for all it means a year OF sacrifice
and hard work to meet the obligations of
our country. Increased food production
and the continued conservation of many
of our food products will be more impor-
tant in the coming year than in the one
lust past. How can we best meet these
opportunities for service on the farm ana
in the homeY First we can keep posted
on the needs of the country. Second we
can plan our work TO fit these needs As
we start a new farm year, it is well to
take stock of the conditions surrounding
our farm work. BY careful planning we
can make the limited labor do those
things which will mean the greatest ac-
complishments. think that we can plan
this coming season much as we were
asked to plan last season, only by plan
ming earlier we can make its accomplish
ment more successful First we can make
our farm as self-supporting as possible.
We can plan first to raise the crops and
live stock products which Will make us
independent OF many outside sources.
Second we can raise more livestock prod
ucts and more OF the products necessary
to keep livestock. In some cases this
means cutting down the dairy to a size
we can handle with present labor and the
capacity of the farm to support. In other
cases it means changing from all dairy
to more mixed live stock farming
Third. when we have planned for our
selves and our live stock we can plan to
raise something in the way Of food crops
which can be used in other parts of the
country or cities which are less self-sup-
porting. To do this means in many cases
rearranging our farm business In some
cases it means planning for greater econ
omy and efficiency in handling. More ma
chine labor and less hand labor, better |
seed and selection of varieties best |
adapted to our conditions, better care of |
more efficient use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, prevention of disease and |
protection against insect enemies; these |
are all things to be thought of and |
planned for this winter. These are things |
which should be done any year, this year
they are doubly important And last
treat our farms as a business PROPOSE
ton. This means, keep some accounts
and records of our crops and stock. 1t
means in the long run a saving OF labor
and greater efficiency. 1t viii give us
something definite TO 60 by when we are
lsked how much shall we ask for our
arm products The farm bureau stands
eady to discuss these points with you,
md to give you what information it can

accomplished Make use of it,

TILL "TANNERY DITCH"

As will be seen by the proceedings
J Of the Common Council last night, the
Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation
wants the tan yard ditch, on Royal
street from Franklin to Hunting
Greek, walled over.
What has been known from time
immemorial as tan yard ditch began
on Henry street, north Of Cameron,
and ran south TO Duke street where II
took southeasterly direction, until
itreached Wilkes street where it ran
.ssnssto Washington street, 1t passed
,a,icr that thoroughfare, where it re-
suacd a southeasterly course, until
IL reached, Royal street, thence south
into Hunting Greek.
The name tan yard ditch was given
from the fact that in the olden time
it ran through two tan yards, the Kin
scy tannery on ALFRED street, between
" ,lfe and Wilkes and the tannery Of
c. {. Smoot and Sons on Wilkes street
between Washington ard st. Asaph.
About thirty years ago this ditch
was made part of trunk scwe"
when it was walled over to Franklin
street. 1t was subsequently, covered
;,"out half "a square south. -Four
squares o. the ditch, that is from
Franklin street to Hunting Creek,
have remained open, however.

Death OF JUDGE THORNTON

AZ will be seen elsewhere, Judge
j. B. T. Thornton, who mad Deeh III
failing health some time, passed away
at his home at Manassas at an early
hour this morning.
While it had been known Tor some
fine that the days of this well-known
and justly esteemed jurist were te"'
and that his death might be expected
at any time, the announcement Oh MS
away was received in AleSan-
with expressions Of sincere re-
yl! as it will be throughout the
StdHte.
He had many acquaintance among
our people before he became Cir
c.jt Judge, but since that time his
frequent visits to Alexandria in his
ottsss:al capacity had greatly increased
I his number of friends and acquaint-
ances.
Mild-mannered and courteous, he
was aproachable to any one, and MS
pleasant and easy manners rendered
every one at, home with him.
i While enjoying the respect ef all,
he equally enjoyed their confidence,
T and his decease will be generally re-
ereted.
Judge Thornton was of the type Of
the true Virginia gentleman. While
an.eminent jurist whose opinions were
respected by all, the easy and mild
Kramer in which he performed his
duty as Judge of the court was mat
ter of comment.
In the words of holy writ it may be
said: "The righteous perisheth and
: nlerciful men are taken away, none
considering that the righteous is taken
away from The evil to come. He shall!
enter into peace: they shall rest in
tscir beds, each one walking in his
,,nrighteness."
