TOWNSHEND
OFFICE LONG IN ONE FAMILY.
Postoffice Held by Cutters from 1885
Until July of This Year.


Until July / of This Year.
For long time the postoffice at
Townshend has been looked after by
one family, until because of i'll health
a change took place July /.
During President Cleveland 3 fist
administration, on Aug. ID. 1885,
Mrs. Ann Howard received the ap-l
7peintment' and hers commission as post
MISTRESS. little la&ors, Oct 81, and hold
the Office until she died, Nov. 1884.
She first held the Office in the Sails
bury brick house, which was burned in
the fire of 1886. She moved from this
house to the Long house, a short time
before, and this house also was burned
in the same fire. Then she moved into
the brick house known as the Powers
house, standing where r. d. Phillips s
house now stands and later into the
new Knapp store erected on the site
now occupied by the town clerk s
building.
In the early summer of 1894, not
many months before Mrs. Howard
died, the Office was moved into a little
building which is now used by f. II.
Allbee as a storehouse, and it was in
that building that Mrs Annie (How-
| ard Cutler was appointed to succeed
her mother Nov. 4, 1894, under Presi
dent Cleveland IS second administration,
and held the Office until Oct. /, 1914.
The office was moved from the little
| building to the house now occupied by
Mrs. Efe Farwcll in the spring of
| 1898 and remained there until Decem-
Der, 1898, when G. III. Cutler, husband
of Mrs. Annie (Howard) Cutler, was
elected town clerk to succeed w. s.
Holland and bought the building in
which he now lives and fitted it up for
both Offices, and here the office re-
manned until July l, 1919.
Mr.. Cutler was appointed to succeed
his wife Oct. |, 1914, and held the
office until July / of this year. He re-
signed Dec. 30, 1918, but no one being
found to take the Office he continued to
serve until o. B. Dauchy was appointed
and moved the Office into Mrs. c. d.
Boyden IS house on North street whore
| il now is.
Much credit is due to those who held
the office so long for their efficient
service under the many trying circum.
stances of fires and the uncertain con.
ditions of the narrow gauge railroad,
the mail not reaching here at times
until the late hours of the night or car
lv hours of the morning. III health at
length made it necessary for Mr.. Cut.
Ter to resign but all hope that being re.
leased from this care, he may speedily
recover his health.

Pile of France, England and Italy.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Petit Parisien in message to his
paper gives the following explanation
for the troubles:
ut is Germany that has brought
this trouble to Spain. Selling the op.
portunity to exploit the rivalry of
the political factions, Germany has
succeeded in poisoning the public
mind. Immense sums of money have
been sent from Berlin, papers have
been subsidized, and no possible
means of causing unrest have been
overlooked.
"The campaign of four years OF
propaganda is bearing fruit At
Madrid the German ambassador
Prince Won Ratibor, turned his en-
bassy into a spy headquarters. This
prince, who was nothing more than
a spy, was surrounded by spys from
the time of Won Stohrer to Grimm and
including Won Kalle. This band
worked necessarily against Spain. 1t
was this group which was behind the
attempted assassination of Count
Romanones.
This work has not ceased with

it is Just now becoming more effec-

the situation is nevertheless serious.

Thoughtful statesmen and leaders

A Woman's Name.

The rule that a married woman
takes the surname of her husband
is an inheritance from the common
law, says Dr. Ruth A. Gallaher in a
volume recently published by the
State Historical society of Iowa.
This custom is so we'll established
that it has not been considered
necessary to incorporate 1t In the
statute laws of the state. Court de-
cisions, however, have generally
recognized the rule that the legal
name of a married woman is her
own christian name and the surname
of her husband.
Indeed it appears that the Jaw con-
corning woman's name is similar
to that governing her citizenship
An unmarried woman has the same
status as man; married woman
takes both her name and her national
allegiance from her husband and he
may change either without her con-
sent.

MADRID = (By MaiD. - Spain,
wrought up because Of the never
ending series of strikes, rebellions
and riots. is seeking the cause of the
unrest. Is it the effect Of German
inspired bolshevist propaganda, or is
il the high cost of living? This Is
the question Spanish leaders are try
ing to answer. In the meantime the
situation grows more serious weekly.
In Andalusia the wheat supply is
being burned, in Murcia the fruit
trees and vines are being destroyed,

investigations carried on to date
! have brought out the fact that the
usual cause cited as the reason for
the outbreaks is the high cost of
| living. On the other hand, Spain Is
,. not at all suffering from such prices
! as prevail in the remainder or
Europe. The costs have increased
from % to so per cent, as compared
| to 400 per cent in France. However,
lin most cases throughout Spain
wages have gone up quite as much
as food prices.
In view of this rather limited in
crease in living expenses, the aocu.
sation that German money is behind
| the various disturbances seems to be
fully Justified.
Germany's program throughout
Europe at this moment is to stir up

within Germany, disorder in all other
countries, is Berlin's desire. Appar-
emily Spain has proved to be more
receptive to the trouble-making spirit
for in no other nation, not even those
/ most severely torn by war, have the
anarchists and syndicalists made

Hundred Million Little Animals
Threaten Health, Wealth and

There is rat for every person in

and her financia pro rata contribu-
ton to what these hundred million
or more rats exact for upkeep annu-
ally. we would be setting aside a
daily rat fund Of one-haIf of one cent.
On this basis the United States pays
its rats about $1S0,000, 900 every year
which sum would build and maintain
4 very adequate university or sup
por. q neat navy to keep Mexico
satisfied for a long tins.
The United States public health
service has figured this out and
issues these and many more rat
facts in brochure that calls upon
all Americans who are fond of health
to enlist In the governments war
against the Norway or brown Ia,
the common black rat ana the Alex.
andrian rat which is a particularly
mean beast Of untidy habits and y
native disregard for the most ele-
mental Of the niceties Of life.
The Norway rat is the largest and
most ferocious of Americas rodents.
He'll eat anything. not stopping at
very small child If particularly
hungry He has been pretty well
killed off and the government adj
lures all of us who see him to attack
at once and crush him. The black
rat and the Alexandrian have been
confined by various household and
barnyard traps, poisons and other
exterminators to the water fronts of
seaports. They are all aliens, their
ancestors having come from Egypt,
Norway and other old world coun-
tries as far back as the days of John
Smith and Salem witchcrart.
The United States public health
service doesn't limit rat killing to
any stated methods, put says that
rat proofing ones home and barns
and granaries is more effective than
trusting to rat catchers
or animal-traps or poisons. First
rat proof your buildings, then go out
after the rat in the open.
Under the shibboleth, "Rout the
Rat" the public health service issues
the following anttrat rules:
ROUT THE RAT!
By starving him. through the use
Of rat proof receptacles for food and
covered metal garbage cans.
BY depriving him of breeding
places, through the abolition of
planked yards and passageways.
BY refusing him admission to the
comfort of your buildings, through
rat proof construction and screened
basement openings.
By killing him at every oppor-
tunity.
By demanding city and anti-rat
ordinances and state anti-rat laws.
