WAS GREATEST
FARM MEETING
Continued from page one

of tile trench for the drainage of wet
land. With its piles OF tile and its
innumerable rows Of clean bitches, the
vast field looked like a miniature sec
ton of a war area. The ditcher was
seen operating and to the marvel Of
those who beheld it, it steadily ate
its way from four feet deep into the
ground cutting a perfectly clean trench
and piling its dirt in perfect rows on one
side of the trench 1t was said that
the machine will also later be employed
in covering up the tile after it is laid,
and thus complete the whole job with
the employment Of only two or three
men.
Arthur w. Bingham, who was run
ming the dtcher, was besieged with in
'quiries as to how the odd animal work
ed and what it actually accomplished.
ION the day of the field meeting it
actually cut 1885 feet of ditch in eight
hours of running, and at an average
depth of three feet The laterals which
drain toward the southeast to a fifteen
inch main, are spaced fifty feet apart
and have a drop Of about six inches to
every hundred feet, their water being
carried eventually into the Otter
Creek
The tile was laid by Oliver Trudo,
who rode on the shoe of the cutting
wheel and laid the tile as the machine
advanced. The machine struck very
few stones, but one of the roots with
which it met was five inches in diam
eter The cutting speed which the
machine averaged most of the day was
Approximately eight cubic feet of
trench per minute.

The value of bank deposit has been
shown through a legal development in Wind
ham county where a New York man is
putting in a claim for Slll5 now held by
Brattleboro bank and advertised as the law
requires. This account was started with $50
as a nucleus, and that amount has been
neither added to nor drawn from by the
depositor nor anyone representing the de-
positor since the date OF the deposit, which
was in 1857. OF course it is a long time
for anyone to wait for a fortune to de-
yelop; but the case is an illustration OF how
money placed in bank does accumulate
and build up into impressive figures. 1t is
like an inverted pyramid, based on a 1ela-
lively small foundation and spreading out
into a considerable superstructure. More
over, people do not have to wait @ years to
get the benefit OF investment in banks Their
deposits constantly grow, only the longer they
stay the greater the Development It would
be good experiment for people, especially
the younger people, to lay aside an amount
OF money like that represented in the origi-
nal deposit in the Brattleboro bank and
then to let the deposit rest unless it be to
add other amounts. In the course of 20
years they would be most ageeably sur
prised to find what a sizeable bank account
they possessed. 1t is an experiment worth
trying-Barre Times,

ty, will be exhumed shortly and an
examination of it made by COM
mission of surgeons consisting of
Drs. Giere of this city, Cliff of

from wound inflicted by another
person. and this suspicion has be-
come Of such magnitude that an or

then given as suicide.

interested in the proceedings taken
in the matter; it being understood
