The condition of Earl A. Young, now
in Heaton hospital suffering from burns
received Saturday when he came in
contact with $4,000 volts at the electric
power plant of the Montpelier & Barre
Light & Power company at Bolton Falls,
is steadily improving and it is now ex-
pected that he will make complete re-
covery, although the nature Of the burns
will confine him for some time to come
Mr. Young, in company with Guy Norris,
another workman of the same company
went to the. station during the morning
TO make repairs to switch. Mr.. Young
was standing on part of the switch,
while Norris stood outside the door with
other workmen Without a minutes no
tice it is thought that the exceedingly
high voltage jumped and made u com
plete downward course, throwing Mr.
Young to the cement flooring, inhicting
wound on his head Deep burns were
also made in his left leg and both feet.
First aid was Immediately administered
and later he was removed TO the hospital.
The fact that Mr.. Young was not cleo
trocuted is due perhaps TO the extreme
high voltage, which, instead Of holding
him secure, threw him, thus releasing
him from constant current. He is re-
spected and faithful workman and his
many friends will be glad to know that
no i'll effects will result from the injury,

MACHINE PLAYS
GREAT PART IN
WEEVIL BUSTING

WASHINGTON, Nov. I7.-Con-
troll of the cotton boil weevil by
poisoning has been received so en-
Enthusiastically by farmers that, with
present facilities for dusting machin-
cry production, the demand can not
be met, according to specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture, under whose direction the
poisoning system has been developed.
Every effort should be made, they say,
toward having as satisfactory as pos
sible all machines that are put out.
Many concerns that are considering
manufacturing busting machinery are
not informed as to the requirements,
and farmers are not so well Informed
as they should be on what constitutes
a good bursting machine. TO meet
these two needs, Farmers Bulletin
No. 1898 is shortly to be published.
1t will give in detail the experiences
of the department, extending through
several years, with various types of
troll of the cotton boil weevil by
machinery. 1t will point out the par
ticulars in which special care must
be taken, both in manufacture and
operation, and, generally speaking,
will enable the farmer to detect the
difficulties in advance of purchase and
to protect himself from loss and possi-
Bile failure of the poisoning opera
ton. If there are questions not COW
cred by the bulletin, interested per-
sons are invited to correspond with
the Delta Laboratory Tallulah, La, |
where most of the experimental work |
has been done The specialists in !
charge there will give the best ad- /
vice possible to meeG Individual condi-
tions.
There are three types of machinery
now in use in cotto' boil weevil pois- !
oning One is the hand dust gun, an
other is a large ma 'hine mounted on /
a four-wheel truck and operated by
an engine, and the third is an, inter |
mediate type on VIII nels and operated |
by wheel traction. The hand gun, the
specialists say, is not practicable, ex-
cept for very small areas or in con-
junction with power machinery. The
large machine has heen founds to be
too complicated for the class of labor
that must do most Of the work. Be- |
ing very heavy, breakige is frequent,
moving from leld to field is difficult
and serious delays are hardly to be
avoided. The wheel traction type of
machine obviates many of the diff
culties of both the thesr types and
appears to be much the most promis-
ing machine for future use.

"Oh, felt like dressing up, that's
allP I answered ungraciously. We
always dressed for dinner, but un-
less we were going out l seldom put
on my very best dinner clothes as
l had done that night.
"You look very charming, but
not very happy. Anything gone
wrong?"
"No-nothing.
"Then I'll run in and say good
night to Junior, and get into my
togs, Mrs. Gray said dinner was
ready"
l started to follow him into the
nursery. Then l halted. No,
would let them be together. If he
wanted to make love to her I couldn't
stop him by going in, and might
hear something if I listened.
He left the nursery door open. He
played Just a moment with Junior,
then l distinctly heard him say:
'You did as l asked you to-"
eyes. Everything is all ready"
He made to reply but his face was
beaming when he came back. He
hurried to dress, and l did not speak
to him, save to answer a question,
until .Hetty announced dinner, that
eager look still on her face.

URGES FARMERS
POOL THE WOOL
Palmer r. EdgertOn Says COOpera-
tive Marketing is Big
Success Financially.

The wool growers of Rock Island
county are going to have the op-
portunity again this year of pool
ing their wool.
Last season 80 different farmers
in the county through the efforts
OF the farm bureau sent a coopera-
tive consignment to Chicago, and
all were pleased with results.
1.-The livestock shipping associa-
tons have success" P. r. Edgerton
crop adviser said. We will, like
wise find out that our wool will
net US more money, if it is graded
and sold by experts, rather than If
sold to some junk dealer of He
brew extraction.
1.-The marketing plan to be used
is as follows:
when your wool is shorn you
should sack it at once. II you
have only few feeces put them in
gunny sacks, if you have several,
get wool sacks of Will Groh, Port
Byron, John Baker. Taylor Ridge
or r. P Waite, Reynolds.
I'VE hope to ship q carload from
Port Byron, Taylor Ridge and
Reynolds. Notice will be sent out
to the growers when the cars are
to be loaded at these different
points.
Wool will be brought in, weigh
ed and tagged and each man given
receipt for the amount of wool
he has consigned
THE cars when loaded are billed
to the national wool warehouse and
storage company Of Chicago.
This company for a commission
of 212 cents per pound will receive,
store, insure, grade and sell our
wool and make a return to each
consignor a
Those desiring an advance on
the wool can get same by present
ing your wool receipt to your bank
er who will loan you an amount
equal to 35 cents per pound at 6
per cent
Don't tie your wool with binder
Irvine, use wool Irvine preferably
paper wool Irvine
Show your faith in cooperative
marketing by consigning your wool
in this county pool"
