Of the story in which there is a quantity

Evidently the lower meat prices
which have been so long expected have
arrived in portions of New England
even though their appearance in this
immediate locality is not discernible in
market reports. The market advertise
ments in Hartford, Conn, newspaper
of Saturday show that meat dealers in
that city believe in taking advantage
of the situation. One concern starts its
advertisement with this attractive line:

The Bellows Falls Times is the first
paper IN the state to take a stand in
favor of Hiram johnson for president
although the Vergennes Enterprise is
a bit inclined to award us the honor.
No doubt, Mr.. Johnson did say some
pertinent things about the Republican
organization in the past and the sorry
feature of the affair is that the people
evidently believed he was telling the
truth.

Phosphates
Delayed Applications
of Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
aide weather at planting time, conges-
fion on railways and consequent delays
developments, may prevent the full and
proper amount Of fertilizer being APP
piled to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application of fertilizer as a
e-dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
to@malle the delayed fertilizer applica-
ton in this way than to attempt to
grow crop with no fertilizer at all, or
WITH less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive.
The big problem is to apply the fertile
en- with the least possible amount of
labor, but at such time, and in such
a way, as to make it most effective.

The scene Of the play is laid in the
Ozark Mountains where our so-called
civilization has not yet spread its re-
fning but enervating influences. A
father, resolved to blot out as much as
possible the sin of his artist son, leaves
his life of ease and elegance to come
among these people. Among the hills
and in the woods, he can drop the carp
ing probabilities of life and can listen
to the wind, natures only voice, as it
sings to him its song of ideals, of beauty
and of strength. Its message he trans
mits to the people about him. He does
not preach the gospel of good but acts its
commandments. As result he brings
peace where there was unrest, forgive
ness where there was the spirit of re-
venge, love where there was hate.-Adv.

Investigation recently conducted by
the bureau OF weights and measures

an average percentage loss Of per

500 900 motor vehicles licensed in the

annual average of 100 gallons of gaso-
