NEW YORK, Aug. 28-Andrew
Carnegie's will published today esti-
mates the value of his estate at be-
tween 25 and 80 millions. He leaves
real estate and all works of art and
household goods to Mrs. Carnegie. A
financial provision for Mrs. Carnegie
and her daughter, Mrs. Miller, was
made during Carnegie's lifetime. A
statement by Elihu Root says Car
negie's lifetime gifts to charities
were more than three hundred fifty
millions. An annuity of ten thousand
is made to former President Taft,
and annuities of five thousand each
to Mrs. Grover Cleveland, now Mrs.
Preston, and Mrs. Theodore Roose-
velt. An annuity of ten thousand al
so was made to Premier Lloyd
George of England. The Carnegie
Corporation of New York is residu-
airy legatee. .AAA

GROUND 5000
BUSHELS OF
VERMONT WHEAT
The A. I'll. Mcleod Milling
Co. Getting Ready for
Another Busy Season

If anyone thinks that all the flour
ing mills are in the northwest visit
to the A. II. Mcleod company would
change his mind as Edgar r. Brown,
the treasurer of the corporation, in
formed the Caledonian man Wednes-
day that his mill ground 5000 bushels
of Vermont grown wheat last season
that the farmers of this section used
in their homes. This was all ground
on a stone which was bought by the
late A. II. Mcleod about Is years
ago and which had not been used
since that time. The stone cost $1,000
and was considered the best one OBJ
tainable. That Mr.. Mcleod secured
the best is evidenced by the fact that
it was in constant use last year and
gave excellent satisfaction.
The Vermont farmers, as is well
known, began raising wheat again in
1918 for the first time in many years
and Vermont surprised the depart
ment of agriculture in its average
yield per acre. While the average
throughout the United States was
only 14.2 bushels an acre, the aver
age yield in Caledonia county was
over 20 bushels. In some places the
yield in Caledonia county was high
as 30 bushels.
The high yield in this section, Mr.
Brown said, was due to two causes,
the active campaign carried on in the
spring by the Caledonia Farm Bureau
and the personal appeal by Frank H..
Brooks, the Federal Food Director,
to all Vermonters to do their best to
raise wheat for starving world.
While the wheat crop in Vermont
will be less than in 1918, many Yer
mont farmers will again have their
own flour in the cupboard, and as long
as flour sells at retail above $40 a
barrel the Vermont farmers can save
money raising their own wheat. When
the big western increased their pro-
duction about Is years ago the price
of flour dropped to nearly $6 a barrel.
On that account the Vermont farmers
stopped raising wheat and gave their
attention to crops that brought bet
ter financial results.
Mr.. Brown expects that the new
wheat crop will be ready for grind
ing the middle OF September and as
he is in charge of the only mill in
grinding wheat into flour he expects
a good trade in this line.

SUMMER CAMP
MANAGER SUED
FOR $4,000
The Case Grows Out of an
Accident at
Fairlee

RUTLAND, Aug. 28-Papers in
two civil suits brought in the United
States district court OF Vermont and
in which the aggregate damages are
$4,000 have just been filed in the
office in this city of Clerk Henry
Conlin, the attachments having been
made by United States Marshal Ar
thur P. Carpenter of Brattleboro.
John C. Graham of Pittsburg, Pa,
sues Anna A. Dodge of Thetford,
Frank L. Bryant of Brooklyn, N Y,
and William Clendennin of Mount
Vernon, N. Y, for $4,000 and MI.
Grahams IA year old daughter, Mar
garet L. Graham, seeks to recover
$4,000 from the same defendants.
Both are actions for alleged negli-
gence. The suits are returnable at
the October term of court in this
city. William H. Sprague and Hale
K. Darling of Chelsea are council for
the plaintiff
Miss Graham spent some time this
summer at Camp Quinneback, which
is conducted at Fairlee by the three
defendants. 1t is alleged that the girl
and her father had the assurance that
while at the camp the daughter
would be under care of adults and
safeguarded from all dangers, but
that she was allowed to go horseback
riding on~a horsel named Rabbit and.
that in the party was another horse
called Dash, known to be balky and
unsafe; that during the trip the
horse Dash acted badly, so frightcn-
ing Rabbit that he threw Miss Gra
ham and she suffered severe inju-
ries, seven teeth being knocked out
and her face being disfgured for life.
Mr.. Graham brings suit to recover
for money laid out in care of his
daughter because of the injuries and
the girl sues because of the alleged
, suffering and affections, for which
she holds the defendants responsible.

 The oil stock game is a big gamble and those who put i'll their money took big chance. The Citizen ad- vised those who could not afford lose were not good losers to stay out A few have won big already A few will win big yet, but probably the majority will lose ali they put in either through dry holes failure to drill
 Playing oil stocks has been cxhililating pastime however and nice gambling game. With no other form of amusement along this line. it is bound keep up If a company actually puts down well and gets dry hole no investor has good for complaint.
 Probably not more than ten dozen big wells have been brought i'll by companies who sold their stock at random in Arizona Some of these have the stock rapidly expected. but a few have wo, big. There is still big money to be made in oil however by companies operating conservative basis We wish that Arizona investor might have his hearts desire a big we'll but that is impossible.
