$4,000 WAS RAISED.
Toward Granite City Cooperative
Creamery in Barre.

At a meeting of the Granite City
Creamery association, Inc, held recent
ly for the purpose of hearing reports
of the directors, $4,000 was raised in
very short time among the 100 farmers
interested in this cooperative institu-
ton. Shares at $40 each were distrib-
uted to the investors. some of whom
purchased on the installment plan.
A great deal of discussion arose
when farmers, whose herds have not
as vet been tested, desired to purchase
stock in the company. The bylaws
Of the association read to the effect
that herds supplying this proposed
creamery with products must all pass
the tuberculin test of the state before
being accepted. The money appropri-
ated by the last Vermont legislature to
give farmers limited indemnity for
cattle condemned by the test has been
exhausted and the state work brought
to halt until further appropriations.
In order that these mer with un-
tested herds might enter the sssocis-
tion. the directors and officials voted
to pay farmers similar indemnity as
that paid by the state from the as
sociation fund and then present such
bills at the next legislature for col
lection. Each and every owner of
herd which had not been tested eN
pressed his desire to have them tested
as soon as possible. many of them in
vesting after this move by the direc-
tors. a considerable sum in the new in
stitution.

NOTICE TO SCHOOL TRUSTEES

The recent legislature passed some
very liberal, progressive and helpful
laws relating to education. It's high
" important that the school trustees
of the county meet with the County
Superintendent Of Education for a full
discussion of these laws.
Such a meeting should result in uni
formity of purpose and action, and
should pave way for better schools
next year. l am appointing Monday,
May II, II o'clock, at the courthouse
for this meeting. Unless you are
present, the inference will be that
YOU lack an interest that you should
have.
1 am expecting to have the State
Superintendent of Education or one
of the State Supervisors of Rural
Schools with US.
Your presence and cooperation will
be appreciated.

The Law of Compensation.

Painless dentists use a drug called
novocain.
An injection of this into the gums
so deadens the tissues that tooth can
be literally cut out and the patient will
feel no more uneasiness than he would
in having his hair trimmed.
But the next day!
All the tissues come to life and be-
gin to throb as a result Of the gashes
and cuts of the dentist.
This is a modern example of En-
erson's famous Law of Compensation
If dentist operated on live tissue
the patient would yell every time he
cut or pulled.
This would cause the dentist to ex-
ercise his skill and ingenuity in get
ting the tooth out in the quickest way
and with the least trouble.
Working behind a shield of navo-
cain, he can be as awkward and as
clumsy as he pleases, and the patient
will know nothing about it until the
next day.
Like the morning after" headache,
it is natures way Of keeping US from
self-destruction.

Roosevelt Driggers, Ia year old son
of Joseph Driggers, who lives near
Bethel church, accidently shot and

Take Pepto-Mangan, Famous Tonic,
and Say Lets Co." Instead
of "Let's Don't"

When normally healthy, ambitious
people begin to lack energy and tire
easily-when they are quickly dis
couraged and low in vitality, it usually
means their blood has grown weak.
Such people are called anemic, or
run down." Build up the blood and
you build up the health and spirits.
-Mangan is a pleasant-tasting
red blood builder and it contains ex-
actly the elements which poor, pale
blood needs to become rich, red blood.
Red blood means rosy cheeks, bright
eyes, clear brain, firm step. Pep
to-Mangan has placed thousands of
people who needed building up in the
full-blooded, energetic, vigorous class.
1t changes the '1et's don't" attitude
to "let's go" attitude. Recommend
ed by physicians for thirty years and
sold all over the world.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liquid
and tablet form. Both contain the
same medicinal ingredients.

ONE WIFE, EIGHT COWS.
High Cost of Living Doubles the
Price of Wives in Africa.

Lord Dewar, who has just returned
to London from Central Africa, in
giving an account of his travels there
said the increased cost of living in
the district he visited was reflected in
the higher price for wives paid by
the natives.
Whereas a fine, siXteen-hands high
wife cost four spearheads in prewar
DAYS, she now costs eight spearheads,
Lord Dewar said, and in the cattle
districts the price of wife is eight
COWS instead of four.

French Potash.

With one exception all potash mines in Alsace were owned and operated by German companies before the war. Until the Alsatian mines passed under French control the German govern ment regulated the sale of potash from them and from the German mines in order to prevent overproduction and to keep prices at uniform level. The total quantity to be sold during the year was fixed as we'll as the amount to be supplied by each company. Prices were established for the various grades. During the year 1913 th" German and Alsatian mines produce II 100000 tons of crude potash, sf1 per cent of this amount, or approxi- mately 6960O0 tons, being the quota from the AlsatiaA mines. When the Germans left, some of the mines were found to be In flooded state, and considerable pumping and reps
 were necessary. Since the armis
 the production has been increased
 more than 300 per cent.
