The Apollo Concert Company

This company will appear in Sea
ver's opera hall Friday evening as
the next number in the Barton I'm
provement Club Lyceum course.
After an absence of year from the
Lyceum concert platform, the old
favorite Apollo Concert Company re-
turns better than ever. The year was
spent in Australia and New Zealand
where this company gave the first
Chautauqua programs ever given in
those far-away lands.
There's plenty of snap and go in
an Apollo program, while the Apollo
phone and Saxophone quartets add
bigness and volume. While the com
pany devotes itself primarily to the
presentation of high-class instrument
tai music in popular way, there are
readings, vocal solos, musical read
ings, pianologues, ETC., adding great
variety and given in a most attractive
manner.
The Apollos are likable folks, with
a charmingly informal platform man.
ner, and feature of their work often
favorably commented upon is their
frank interest in their audiences, and
the reciprocal interest of the audience
in them. Single admission tickets

BARTON GETS ANOTHER
LARGE NEW INDUSTRY
Immediately and Invest More
Than 100000

George A. Fairbanks of Newport,
N. H., of Fairbanks & Redfield,
wooden manufacturers, was in Bar
ton Thursday and completed negoti-
ations for four acres of land belong
ing to F. w. Comstock just north of
Barton village, bordering the B. &
M. railroad tracks, on which a two
story brick factory 15O-58 feet will
be erected.
New machinery will be installed
and the investment will no doubt
reach considerably over 100000.
About so persons will be employed at
the start.
Associated with Geo. A. Fairbank
in the business will be Harold Fair
banks, son of Geo. A., and Horace
Redfield, a son-in-law of Mr.. Fair
banks. All are familiar with the
business.
Following so soon the location of
the New York concern of VESSEL
Nickle & Gross in Barton, the place
is to be heartily congratulated.

VESSEL, Nickle & Gross.

One of the bits of publicity Barton
is getting with the location of its

new industries is the following TAX
Press. 1t gives the public more idea
of this piano action manufacturing
business than anything yet publish
ed. The article says:
"Wessell, Nickle & Gross, a New
York firm manufacturing the highest
grade piano actions in the world,
working the small maple pieces that
enter into the action to the one
thousandth part of an inch, has pur-
chased mill property in Barton and
plans to build dry kiln in the town
as soon as the first frost is out of the
ground. The firm is capitalized at
$50 900, but has surplus of nearly
81 100000. 1t is already buying
maple logs and will saw them out in
it's mill. The company expects to
employ at least so men and may have
double that number by the winter of
1920. Other developments are plan
ned during the summer. The firm
will use about 100000 feet of lumber
a year.
"It is understood that this firm en-
ploys about 500 hands altogether and

hands employed 1t is planning to

The town of Barton grants the
company low electric power rate
exemption from taxation, and a small
water concession is granted by the
village.

Protect Your Horse or Meet PrOsecu-
ton.

Sheriff E. ]. Hill of Newport under
date of January 26th, sent the follow
ing to deputy sheriffs in Orleans
county. The warning ought to be
sufficient.
"My attention has been called to
several instances where animals are
suffering from cold, and sometimes
from hunger. Particularly, that
horses are allowed to stand on our
streets without proper protection
from the cold.
"Now if we, as officers of the coun-
ty and towns, would give this matter
more attention we would be able to do
a work to be proud of, and save lot
of suffering. Many animals are kept
in cold barns and sheds and must suf-
fer.
"The law is very plain in regard to
cruelty to animals. Let us use it
when necessary. Use other means
when we can. Speak first and give
good advice; but if not needed, then

Improvement Club Notes

"To promote the general welfare
prosperity and improvement of the
village of Barton" are the words
which are found in our charter.
Action has been taken to this end with
well known results. However the
work for Barton's boosters is only
begun. The securing of the new in
dustries is only the first step in the
realization of our purposes. Much
remains to be done, a great part of
which will appear less interesting
but which is absolutely necessary to
the carrying out of our aims and am
bitions for Barton. We must pre-
pare to house our new citizens, make
them neighbors and friends, prosper
Gus and contented. This is no small
task in itself but with the splendid
cooperation now manifest, Barton can
and will meet and solve the problems
as they present themselves.

Guy Rowell, formerly of this place
is going higher and higher up the
ladder of success as hotel publicity
man. A recent copy of "Keeler's Ho-
tel Weekly" published in San Fran
cisco where Mr.. RoweH did hotel
publicity work before going to New
York where he is now doing this work
for the five great Bowman hotels, the
Bilmore, Commodore, Manhatten, Bel
mont and Murry Hill hotels, speaks of
Mr.. Rowell and his work as follows:
"And then we are proud that the
man who has designed and originated
this folder is Guy S. Rowell, for many
years publicity and advertising man
of the hotel St. Francis. Rowell a
little man with big brains, has made
good with a punch in New York, that
blase, cold-blooded, cruel metropolis
where only the very fittest survive
and where the weak and inefficient
are mercilessly ground to pieces.
Rowen is in charge of all the pub
licity work for the Bowman hotels
and since his arrival there has re-
ceived many flattering offers of splen-
did position. He has refused them
all, including the latest-most flat
tering of all-from San Francisco" ("

What About Lime Distributors?

With all this lime coming into the
county. it might be well to consider
methods of distributing this on the
land. Many have used the shovel or
hand method in the past but this
method is slow, laborious and far
from satisfactory, due to the uneven
distribution. Some men have used
manure spreader to good advantage
by first putting in a layer of manure
and then spreading so many bags OF
lime evenly over the floor, depending
on the number of loads per acre at
which the spreader is set. Even this
way is not wholly satisfactory. To
obtain really good results some sort
of a distributor is necessary. There
are a number of types of these ma
chimes on the market.
One type that has given very good
service has a movable bottom and
side so that when the machine is in
operation the bottom slowly rises
over one side. There is no possible
chance of clogging in this type. An
other make is the ordinary lime and
fertilizer distributor covering a
space eight feet wide when in oper-
alton. Still another and somewhat
novel type of distributor is attached
to the end of any wagon body and
drives from a sprocket on the wagon
wheel. This spreads material 16
feet and can handle up to 30 or 40
! tons day.
/ Detailed information has been re-
ceived at the Farm Bureau office in
regard to few of these machines
and efforts are being made at present
to learn more concerning the other
makes on the market. At the pres
ent price of labor, farmers cannot
afford to spread lime with a shovel
or by hand to say nothing of the un-
even distribution These machines
cost from S55 to $50 apiece. Two or
three farmers living near each other
could very handily use one machine
between them. The various lime and
clover committeeman in this county
are kept supplied with information
concerning these various distribu-
tors. Anyone interested will do well
to get in touch with one of these
men or notify the Farm Bureau of
fee.

FARM BUREAU NOTES
Lime Beginning to Roll into This
County.

During the next two or three weeks
a large number of farmers in this
county will be kept busy unloading
the cars of lime The manager of
the Farmers Exchange reports that
he has recently sent in to two differ
ent lime concerns orders for 46O tons
of lime. A few farmers are order
ing lime direct and local dealers and
fertilizer agents will doubtless handle
some lime so that the tonnage used IN
this county this year will run well
over the 500-ton mark.
This situation speaks well for the
work of the Farm Bureau. Due to
the hearty cooperation of group OF
interested Farm Bureau committee,
men. over 40 farmers out of the 100
or more have been persuaded to use
lime that otherwise would not have
done so. Ten out of the 13 lime and
clover committeeman in the county
have reported that over 200 tons of
lime would be used as the result of
their efforts.
The tonnage used this year should
be but the beginning. With over
100000 acres of land in crops in Or
leans county, we can afford to use
thousands of tons of lime in the next
few years. More clover and less
purchased feed will be the result.
Every town in the county will use
some lime but the town of Glover
leads with a total of 70 tons. Green's
boro, close second, will use 56 tons
The large tonnage to be used in GLOW
er is due to the work of the Farm
Bureau committeeman, H. S. Clark
c.. F. Wright and B. r. Buchanan
These men have thought lime, talked
lime and boosted lime. It's up tc
some other community now to pass
that record. This lime project of the
Farm Bureau will not be finished un
til majority of the farmers of thi!
county are using lime as a regular
part of their farming operations.

CAMP WESTMORE PLANS
Company to be Reorganized on Still
Larger Scale.

There is a movement now on foot
to reorganiZe the "Camp Westmore
Co." and place it on firmer financial
basis. The camp is at the present
time in somewhat uncertain condi-
tion financially, and without man
ager, as Russell G. Bancroft will not
continue his work there this year.
AS camp, "Westmore" is ideal
People who are familiar with the sum-
mer camps in the country, agree that
there is no more beautiful spot IN
America; no more desirable location
for summer camp; and nowhere bet
ter buildings and equipment than
those found here. It is more like
country club than a girls camp. 1t
is situated on a hill commanding a
view of Lake Willoughby at con-
siderable distance from any other
cottages. On a grassy slope over
looking the water, is a row of tiny
"kiosks," the sleeping quarters of the
girls. At some distance above these
is situated the main building beautl-
fully fitted with the most costly fur
niture, rugs, and draperies. Here are
| found the reception room, office,
study-rooms, and the living quarters
of the instructors. Just back of this
is large open pavilion used for
dining hall and assembly room, and a
great perfectly equipped kitchen
Extensive grounds provide ample
door sports. The lake at this point
is well suited to accommodate both the
expert swimmers and the younger be-
| ginners.
During the first year of the camps
life only about 80 girls were accom-
modated, and in spite of what seemed
in every way ideal surroundings,
many went away not feeling satisfied.
The camp director was Miss Laura
Joll a very efficient English woman
who has proved her ability in such
capacity IN Canadian camps ana
schools.
Plans are already being made for
the success of the camp this year. 1t
is hoped that Charles FL. Dudley OF
Hanover N. III. may be able to take
the management in charge and en-
ldeavor to place the "Camp Westmore
/ Co." on a more substantial financial
foundation, and run it in an efficient
way. It is believed that the camp
might have from 100 to 200 girls there
next sumer. Mr.. Dudley is an excel
lent business man and has had large
experience in camps throughout the
country. At the present time he does
the advertising for about 40 thrlv-
ing summer camps for which he is
personal advisor and ouffitter.
!. Last summer the comnnissary de-
partment which was the most salts
; factory element about the entire
camp, was in the hands of John Aulis
also of Hanover. Mr.. Aulis is ste
ward for the Dartmouth Dining AssO-
citation which feeds about 1900 young
men. He understands thoroughly
the art of feeding people, and par
ticularly young people, which means
great deal to any camp. 1t is pos
sible to have Mr.. Aulis again for
Camp Westmore.
So withal, the prospects for a sue
cessful year for the camp and for
!, Camp Westmore Co." are promising.
Although the way is not entirely clear
at present, plans are already 6elng
made, which we hope to be able to
! announce definitely within short
time
