LAST OF GREAT MONOPOLY
Company's Land to Be Given Over to Farming.

When King Charles II. made a grant of land in America to "The Governor and Company of Adventurers of Eng. land Trading into Hudson's Bay" he generously turned over to them about three-quarters of North America, an empire which time has diminished un. til now the Hudson's Bay company is selling to settlers the rich acres which 1t still retained after surrendering it's authority over its Canadian holdings to the Dominion government. fifty years ago, for an indemnity of $1,500, 900. Little enough did Charles, in 1870, imagine the future history of the trad ing company he had established; still less could he have pictured the chain of retail department stores in the twentieth century. Over 3,0O0.O00 acres of fertile land. the last substantial fraction of King Charles grant, is be- Ing sold to farmers; and as it has lain uncultivated since the days of the In- sdians. it Is pleasant to think that the farmers will soon be busy on 1t.

Dry-Time Atrocity.

A tale of woe, with Sir Arthur Shir- ley Benn, head of the British trade mission, was told at a dinner at New York. Sir Arthur, when he arrived in the United States brought his own sup ply with him--in golf bag. Recently the supply was exhausted-all save a half-bottle of real stuff. Calling in some of his fellow delegates Sir Ar thur proposed final drink. Glasses were filled, the bottle was emptied and a toast was proposed. Sir Arthur likes water in his. And at some of the Amer. ican hotels where he had stopped they have cute little taps stuck into the wall or into the washbowl from which ice water flows when the button is pressed This was the last drink and Sir Arthur wanted to be careful. So he pressed the button carefully. Then he tried to down his drink. He didn't; he had made mistake. Instead of the ice water tap he had used tap that yield ed liquid soap.

PUT IT UP TO GRANDFATHER
Four-year-oId Kept Her PennIes, While Elderly Relative Was
 Forced to "Dlp Up"

Grandfather is very dignified, re- tired minister. But still. with all his dignity he regularly takes his four year-old granddaughter to Sunday school because he thinks that che should have this religious training winiIe she Is yet young.
 The other Sunday 1t was Mary El- lens fourth birthday and she. after the custom of the school carried with her four pennies to place In the birthday basket. Everything went nicely and the tot went to the front, her little face happy above her Sunday finery. Still smiling she stood In row with the other birthday children and wait ed while the basket was passed.
 When it was taken to the others and she saw them put their pennies into the basket Mary Ellen became dis tinctly uneasy. She seemed about to flee; then to reconsider and stayed. But when 1t reached her, instead of dropping her pennies into 1t as the others had done she held to them very tightly indeed and said: No, I'm going to keep them myself. If you want any oders you tan tall my grandpa up. He had whole handful this mornin'."
 And grandfather. in order to keep his reputation free from having any of the taints of piker, had to rise from his seat and come forward with four pennies. Then was the amuse- ment of the congregation not only seen but heard as well.-Indianapoli News.

WORLD NEEDS THE ELDERLY
Their Ripened Experience and De- veIoped Judgment Make Them of
 Value to the Community.

Hardly anyone, If indeed anyone at all, holds at thirty-five that he was wiser when he was twenty-five, or says at fifty that he knew more, and had better judgment, when he was thirty five. Yet young men are prone to look upon older men as being dis pensable. If man could live to be two hundred years old, retaining his mental faculties unimpaired, leading an active life as a member of profession or a man in business, his ripened experi- ence, his developed judgment, his vista. would make him worth as much as a dozen youngsters in many respects.
 pr. William Mayo of Minnesota, un- like Doctor Osler who retired discom- f1ted and never really explained. when he made his famous declaration and gave to the English language the term ''oslerized," says old men are the na- tion's greatest assets. Aboriginal saw ages said the same thing. The aged Indian at the council fire was worth a score of young bucks on the battle line.
 One of the most valuable uses to which the experience of old men is put is detecting the sophistrles of extrem- ists and resisting agitators who urge perIlous innovation.
 Doctor Mayo believes 15 years add ed to the average life since the Civil war constitutes task only half done. Another 15 years may be added by medical and surgical science plus edu- cation which will lead to early adop- tion of measures to preserve bealth.
 The slogan. "A short life and mer- " one,". shortens life. Doctor Mayo

Absence Sometimes Evidence of Tact

Absence Sometimes Evidence of Tact.
 Sometimes it's an evidence of tact when people absent themselves. Only big people can do it. Children and childish adults have to hang around with open mouths and staring eyes lest something escape them. They are the omnipresent nuisances that make you want to tell them things. Really big people can afford to let others do few things without permission. What others do ought not to detract vitally from what you do unless what you attempt Is so small that 1t takes little to overshadow 1t. Besides it's only fair that others should have an opportunity of showing what they can do. The world will think more of you if you give 1t chance to pass judgs ment on it's efforts. And what Is more mere obstruction won't stop things anyway The best way to make things popular Is to furnish sufficient unjust opposition. The persecution occasion ed makes friends for the other side. Exchange.

ALASKAN GoLD-L0DE MINING
Already Profitable, the Completion of the Government Railroad Will Ald
 In It's Development.

Twenty-Five gold-lode mines were 0p- erated in Alaska in 1918, according to the United States geological sur vey, department of the interior. There was also a production from seven ospects-abandoned mines or small mines that were not in regular oper- ation. The value of the lode-gold out put decreased from $4.581, ,453 in 1917 to $3,473,317 in 1918, owing partly to the disaster at the Treadwell mine in April, 1917, and partly to curtailment of operations, especially in the Juneau district, because of shortage of labor. Southeastern Alaska, especially the Juneau district, is still the only cen ter of large quartz-mining operations in the territory. Next in importance is the Willow Creek lode district. The production in the Fairbanks district decreased materially, as the lode-mine owners of Fairbanks are still await ing the cheapening of operating costs, especially of fuel, which Is expected on the completion of the government railroad. In 1918 the average value of the gold and silver contents for all siliceous ores mined was $1.7O ton; the average for 1917 was $1.37 ton. These averages reflect the dominance in the total lode production of the large tonnage produced from the low grade ores of the Juneau district.

0lOtC0 TTutI-
 In how many things is each day like its predecessor? And in how many things are this years days like the days of ten years ago-or longer?
 Just think of this in your own rou- tine and habits. Then, if you wish to have an interesting experience, see in how many ways you could change this monotony and sameness without dlsad- vantage and with positive advantage in many cases and then make the change.
 True, it will come almost as shock, the realization that many confirmed habits, customs, viewpoints have been and are time wasted, strength wasted. money wasted, useless and needless drains and strains. And if you are sin cere and determined in the conversion of your mode of life in the daily little things, you will be astonished to find that some of your most cherished GUS toms are the most reasOnless.
 The discipline of changing will be good; the resulting saving of time will be better.-Exchange.

Electric Fire Logs.

ElcCLEiC IITC Io8o.
 Electric fire logs, which have been used on the stage for several years, are now available for other uses. These fire logs are made of imitation wood, consisting of three or more logs naturally grouped for interior fire places and outdoor campfires. The logs are of translucent material and as- bestos, re-enforced with metal, and are made hollow for the insertion of cleo tric bulbs. The bark and cut ends of the logs are artistically designed and hand-painted to give the natural appearance of partially burned logs
 By shading the translucent and opaque parts properly and providing for reflection from below, the logs, when Illuminated, glow with the nat ural bright and darker shading of burning wood logs. The fire logs can also be obtained in the form of a large wood log with imitation ash heap, for large old-fashioned fireplaces.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1920.
A BASIS OF AGREEMENT.

Viscount Grey's recent letter may af
ford basis for reconciLing the diverse
views on the peace treaty now adhered
to in the senate. He understands that
congress alone has power, under the con-
stitution, to declare war against another
nation, and he realizes the fact that if
the league of nations covenant is
adopted, without amendment or reserva-
ton, situation may supervene at some
future time when a President of the
United States, by his representative in
the covenant, may commit this country
to war policy with which congress
would be at variance.
Another situation, which Lord Grey of
course would not present, is that when
ever the question of war comes before
the council, America and her representa-
tive may be easily outvoted, and this
nation, powerful enough to dictate terms
of war or peace to all other nations, be-
come an humble partner in the great SUI
per-national partnership, likely to
have its war policy dictated to it by its
co-partners, and also likely to have its
armies ordered to any quarter of the
earth.
This presents the attitude of Senators
Borah and Johnson They hold that this
nation should not enter into any inter
national league and thus deposit its
] power in partnership of nations and be
liable to be outvoted upon any great
question of war policy They hold that
America should remain independent, free
to strike whenever it decides to strike
as it did in the war with Germany.
The Reformer has held that this posi-
ton is too conservative. America should
| join the league because by it's power il
can prevent war and promote peace
among the nations; but there can be nc
harm in reserving the right to decide fol
itself what its war policy should be.
Another fact now stands out in cleal
light-that Great Britain and Franc,
VIII welcome America to the league upol
any terms that she may dictate. Thos,
nations appreciate the immeasurabl
service that America rendered them il
the late war and the obligations the,
may be under to her in the years to come

MES were made and the call for them
is still beyond supply. There is also
big demand for other small coins, nickels,
dimes and quarters. The reasons for it
are the shifting of prices the increasing
number of penny change divisions, and
the war taxes, like those on soda water,
and movie tickets. Since the minis be-
gan operating there have been put into
circulation more than 3 II billion pens
MES, and fewer than hundred thous-
ands have drifted back to the minis to
be melted up and set forth afresh. What
becomes of them is one of the many mys
teries concerning money. For there are
still officially in circulation" millions
of half-cent, two cent, half dime and
other specimens of coin now rarely en-
countered in any trade. The government
doesn't worry much over what becomes
of small coin; for generally it represents
big profit. Even at present high prices
of metals, pennies cost only about
| twenty cents a hundred to produce
nickels about so per cent of face value
and dimes and quarters-until about
| November something like so cents
| to the dollar.

A GOOD TROUT DINNER.

Many of the good residents of Brat
tleboro would welcome a remedy for
backache and blistered hands caused by
shoveling snow. While it is not intended
to prescribe for these ills the following
recipe for cooking trout may take their
mind off winter duties and relieve their
snow blinded vision. The recipe is given
by writer in the Boston Herald who
calls it trout la Roosevelt" recon-
mended by Robert Roosevelt, an uncle of
the late Theodore Roosevelt. Here is
the recipe:
Take nice trout, Is inches or more,
and wipe him good and dry; take the
inside out as follows: Do not slit the
belly. With small bladed and sharp
knife, cut around the gills and under the
tongue, leaving the throat latch intact
Draw the inside and the gills out through
the mouth, leaving the fish practically
intact. Wipe the inside with cloth
and if any blood remains, wipe it out.
Now rub some salt down the backbone
and a little pepper Take some pencils
of nice salt pork (some prefer butter)
and slip them down the throat of the fish
two ounces is plenty. Put your fish in
baking pan. Score two or three times
half way across the back. Cover with
thin slices of salt pork One pint of good
fresh cream or enough to cover half the
fish, bake in medium oven and haste
with the cream quite often. When done
