VAS FOUND IN TIME
TO PREVENT FREEZING
Charles Colby of Corinth, While Tempo
rarily Deranged as Result of Inhu-
enza, Wandered About in Bare %i
Feet and Otherwise Thir e.keN
ly Clad. y

Corinth, Jan. 20.--After a party Of 250
people had spent all Of Sunday searching
for him, Private Charles Colby, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor A. Colby, was found
last evening in the highway leading from
Waits River to Barre, where he had wan
dered in a mentally unbalanced condition
as the result of an attack of influenza.
Although without shoes or stockings and
mittens and clad only in trousers and
shirt, his feet and hands were not frozen
and he seems to have received no harm
from his exposure to the wintry weather
from midnight Saturday night to 9
o'clock last night 1t is supposed, there
fore, that he must have concealed him
self in some building during the day,
only to start out bare-footed over the
snow as soon as darkness came on.
The young man, aged % years and the
Oldest Of six children, had not been well
since an attack of influenza at Camp
Devens last summer, he having gone
there in the first draft last May. On
partially recovering from influenza he
was stricken with what some thought
was a shock while out with detail dig
roll call that night, and the next day he
was found near the trench. Since then
his mind has not been wholly clear and
he was discharged from the army, re-
turning home some weeks ago.
His family had been watchful Of him
in the time since then but he was left
alone for short time Saturday night
and he took advantage of the opportu-
nifty to Jump from a nd-story win
dow and to flee into the woods. A search
ing party was made up and the whole
territory in the vicinity of the Pike hill
copper mine, near which he lives, was
gone over, but to no avail. 1t was not
until last evening that the young man
was discovered in the main highway by
party of people from Waits River. He
was at once given shelter and is now re-
ceiving cape in the hope that his expe-
rience will not turn out seriously, The
place where he was found was two miles
from his home.

COOPERATIVE CREDIT
 UNION IS ADVOCATED
Handy for Farmer Who Is Gperr

Many Know Too Little About Finan. >s~ eaI Transactions and Do Not Re- ceive Affirmative Attention and

(Prepared by the United States Depart

 A system of personal-credit unions especially for the benefit of farmers whose financial circumstances and scale of operations make it difficult for them to secure accommodations through ordinary channels. is recon mended in the annual report of the secretary of agriculture.
 "The men l have especially in mind," says the secretary. 'are those whose operations are on a small scale and who are not. in most cases, inti- mately in touch with banking machin- cry, who know too little about finan- clal operations and whose cases usu- ally do not receive the affirmative at, tention and sympathy of the banker. Such farmers would be much benefit ed by a membership in cooperative credit associations or unioas.
 "Of course there are still other farmers whose standards of living and productive ability are low, who usu- ally cultivate the less satisfactory lands, who might not be received for the present into such associations. This class peculiarly excites interest and sympathy, but it is difficult to see how immediately any concrete fnan- cial arrangement will reach it. The great things that can be done for this element of our farming population are the things that agricultural agencies are doing for all classes but must do for it with peculiar zeal The ap- proach to the solution of it's difficulty -is an educational one. involving better farming, marketing, schools, health ar rangements and more sympathetic aid from the merchant and the banker.

PREPARE FOR ICE HARVEST
Time to Get Out Saws, Tongs, Etc., and Inspect Them Carefully
 for Winter Use.

CPrepared by tine United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 It's time to make final preparations for cutting ice. Get out the ice tools, the saws, tongs and iron bar. Look them over carefully and see that they are in tip-top condition. Sharpen the saws and see that the handles are all right. Repoint the tongs and bar ii they need it. Clean them up and be all ready to make the ice slivers fly when the ice is thick.
 Did you ever try cooperation in ice harvesting? It works like a charm. Get one or two of your neighbors to go into such scheme. One pond or stream and one set of tools will answer for all It's just like mid-winter pie nic, for many hands make light work
 Better make sure, also, that you have on hand plenty of dry, clean saw dust or whatever insulating material you are going to use. Wet sawdust is a poor insulator and wastes ice. How about it; is everything ready?
