During the eighteenth century the
Windsor chair came into use. 1t is
a style Of chair taht is associated
with farm houses, country inns and
taverns. The curved horseshoe rails
and back were generally constructed
from ash. The term windsor chair"
is said to have originated when
George III saw a chair of this design
in a cottage near Windsor and liked
it so well that he had some made for
his own use.
The chair illustrated is a simple
type of the Windsor chair and was
made at the beginning of the nine
teenth century.

to Trade With Soviet
Not Changed.

United States Consul General Skin
ner at London probably win attend
the forthcoming conference between
Gregory Krassin, Russian minister OF
trade and commerce. and representa-
tives of the supreme economic council
in London. 1t is stated here that the
presence Of an American observer at
the conference would not mean that
the United States had changed its
position with regard to the resump-
tion of trade with bolsheviki Russia.
Locomotives and cars are under
stood to constitute the greatest need
of the bolsheviki and Efforts to ob.
tain such materials through Esthonla
already have been blocked by this
government. The United States. u
was said. is the only market which
could possibly offer delivery OF fol!-
ing stock this year as the Baltic ports
are icebound by early fall and de.
livery from other countries would not
be possible before next spring.
While this country possesses the
most desirable goods for exchange,
officials observed Russia contains
nothing exportab1e with the possible
exception Of wheat. With no means
of transportation. promised trade au-
vantages are therefore regarded here
with skepticism.

Twenty Sixth Anniversary

Twenty-Sixth Anniversary
Living in the same city block of
a Physician, an Undertaken, Sexton
and dealer in grave stones is sug-
gestive of gloomy situation. 1t was
by no means gloomy place last
Thursday evening at the home OF
DR.. and Mrs. T. w. Ashley, where the
Antitrust Club held their monthly
gathering. Mr.. and Mrs. 0. w.
Newcomb, being members of this
club, and it being their twenty-sixth
anniversary of their wedding, the
meeting was made the occasion of
celebration of that event. Some were
present who remembered the bride as
Hortense Rollins, much loved teach
er of the primary department of our
public schools for several years; the
bridegroom as Oril Newcomb, who
became and still is one of our respect
ed, honored and substantial business
men. The years have flown swiftly
by. Youth has been replaced by mid
die age; locks have become silvered;
the young friends have become old
friends. To US who love them their
faces have lost none of the fairness,
their hearts none of their warmth
and glow animated by friendship.
And we who know them best love
them most. May the golden chain
reaching into the past, binding the
two together, reach unbroken long
way into the future. When the even
ing's budget of entertainment was
opened it was found to contain two
birthdays, belonging to Mrs. Cotton
Whitcomb and DIR. T. w. Ashley, re-
spectively. They could not help it
and promised it would not happen
again until September % and 90,

tertainment was the appearance of
Miss Eleanor Newcomb, arrayed in
her mothers wedding dress. She
