GOOD GRAVEL F0UNe
FOR HIGHWAY FACE

The gravel dressing OF the high

trucks and big steam shovel arc oper-
ating from the Baker point gravel
pit aud an examination Of The road
where Il has been placed shows IL OF
eycellant quality. The writer had
occasion to drive over Il Thursday
afternoon. Several loads OF gravel
were dumped In the interval between
the time the traveller passed over IL
and his return 10 the work and thus
hut few vehicles had driven across
IL including the big trucks. but IL
was found packed sufficiently that the
Ford wouldn't make mark in II.
The wash gravel now being placed
upon the road mixed with the finer
binding material appears to be too
large for top dressing but IL h
understood there was still four in

MILK AND CREAM PRICES.
High Figures Reached in Windham Coun
ty-Butter Prices Lower.

For. the month of December Windham
county farmers received the highest
prices ever received for dairy products.
says the Farm Bureau News. Farmers
who are wholesaling milk to dealers To-
zeafly or shipping TO Boston received from
8 eentssto 81 cents per quart for milk
testing 3.5 per cent bntterfat with but
terfat prices for surplus milk which often
totals 80 per cent of the milk. shipped.
During this same period the co-opera-
tive creameries in Windham county paid
fTem IS * cents TO SO cents per pound
for butterfat delivered at their place OF
business. Among these creameries is the
North River creamery AT Jacksonville
which paid So cents, and the Deerfeld
Valley creamery at Wilmington, which
paid 20 cents.
Since that time wholesale butter
prices have dropped from 6S cents To
ie.about 80 cents per pound. From now
on the prices of butter viii be much
less than during the month of Deem
her. 1t is hoped, however. that the
butter prices will not fall much lower
for the present AZ least, for with the
thigh prices of grain and help -the cost
laf4produeing is very high.

and would absolutely guarantee a state
of peace from one end of Russia to the
other The presence of allied troops
alone would have q tremendous effect
toward pacifying the country. A popu.
lar assembly could be called and gov.
ernment elected by the will Of the whole
nation.
1T would not be necessary for the al
lies to keep troops in Russia for more
than few months. With an organized
government, established by the will Of
the majority and supported by the armed
forces of the country, there could be no
armed opposition. / am confident that
u sufficiently large army could be rs.
sembled at once which would hes aoYal
to such government and afford il all
the force necessary Within a. lev
months the allied troops could be re.
moved. Such aid from the allies would
be welcomed by the whole Russian nation
and would in a short time bring about
the desired end Otherwise Russia will
be given over to anarchy which will en-
danger the country for many years ia
come. ~"
