CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.

Crop prospects, on Camas
Prairie in this immediate vici-
nifty point to a bumper crop this
fall, at the present time at least,
according to many farmers, who
have been questioned on the SUBJ
ject of crop prospects for the
coming year. Most of the farm
ers are of the opinion that the
thawing and freezing weather
of the last few weeks did little
if any damage to the fall crops,
while a few express the opinion,
that damage to some extent will
be felt.
A large number also are of the
opionion that the rain and snow
of the present week have assured
an abundance of moisture for
spring work.
Very little blowing has been
done so far in this immediate
vicinity, but with the coming of
good weather spring work ought
to be finished up in a short time,
as most of the land is already in
crop, a large amount having been
put in summer fallow last fall.
While the present prospects
look bright for bumper crop,
this by no means assures the
prairie of one, as last year the
prospects were 100 per cent, but
still owing to no rains in June,
the crops when harvested fell far
below the normal average.
If the prairie is fortunate
enough to receive its usual heavy
rains in June, bumper crop is
almost certain. When the June
rains come; if they do; which is
about the time grasshoppers
hatch, thousands of these de-
structive creatures, which did
thousands of dollars of damage
last year. will be killed by the
rain and cold weather.
Prospects at this time are in
deed bright for a fine crop, if
the opinions of some of our lead
ing farmers are to be taken as a
forecast.

The Easter Season Has Double
 Significance I11 tI1e Eyes Of All

Springs balmy breezes bring with them Easter-named after the Goddess of Spring, Eostra. whose festival was held by the ahcients in April. To modern people it is significant of the resurrection. The fact that it comes in the early spring when Nature is first preparing to take on the aspect of summer. gives the season a double significance.
 For centuries Easter has been ob- served. Tn the ancient church the celebration of Easter lasted eight days. After the eleventh century however it was cut to three days and still later to two days. Now Easter Sunday is observed the world over as one day Of the year when the spirit of newness is manifested.
 Easter has always been a time for rejoicing. It was formerly the favorite time for baptism, the courts of justice, were closed and aims were dispensed to the poor and needs, who were feast ed in the churches, custom which is said to have led to much disorder Slaves were also given their freedbin
 So it may be seen that Easter is one of the oldest of the holiday sea sons. It is just and proper that it be celebrated in accordance with the dic-

tates of nature and the church.
 Nature dictates that a change be made, that the clothes of winter changed for those of spring and summer.
 The most characteristic Easter rite and the one most widely diffused is the use a< Easter eggs. For centuries young people have stained eggs various colors and used them in a varying manner. In some countries people reciprocaliy made presents of them. sometimes they are kept amulets, and sometimes they are eaten. A va riety of games have sprung up which can be played with them. Tn some of the moorland parts of Scotland it has been customary for young people to go forth on Easter morning and search for wild fowls eggs for breakfast apd it was thought lucky to find them There can be doubt that the first significance Of tie use of eggs 1t this season was the sprileins forth of nature. the budding out of life in the spring.
 From the. devotional standpoint it lifts our souls in communion with our better impulses and gives us new in- centives for better living with Natures changing season.

WATERFORD FARMERS SIGN


 At meeting held in Waterford We'd nesday night articles of association ot the Waterford Farmers Exchange, Inc. were signed and turned over to the tenn porary trustee, William Ellery Allyn, to be forwarded to the secretary of state AS soon as these articles have been ap- proved by the secretary and returned, a meeting of all subscribers to this cor poration will be called to elect officers and formally begin business.
 H. H. Whitman, chairman of the CO., operative buying committee, reported q total of s3,150 subscribed for capital stock by 42 men, with a possibility of more to be turned in by two committee members who were absent It was then voted that the capital stock of the or. ganization be set at $10,O00. divided into 400 shares at a par value of S25 each B. ". Ellis from Connecticut Agricul- tural college then gave a talk on the advantages of cooperative purchasing of farm supplies, calling particular atten- tion to the fact that the members should always pay cash at the car, that they must be loyal to the organization and back up their officers
 William Ellery Allyn was then elected temporary trustee to receive. subscrip- tions, since most of the capital stock must be paid in before the organization can start doing business. He requested that all subscribers see that checks he sent him at once for the amount of stock for which they subscribed Chairman Dimmock then appointed a committee composed of H. R. Whitman, Stanley

Morgan and A. B. Kenyon to prepare suggested constitution and bylaws to be presented at the next meeting.
 Considerable discussion took place over a price list of common grains which had been prepared comparing wholesale quo- tations with New London retail quota tions. According to these figures oats and bran could be bought at wholesale at a cost of SIS per ton less than they were selling at retail, cottonseed $14 per ton less, middlings $11 per ton less and other feeds varying from s to s7 per ton less It brought out very forcibly to the men the value of being organized, to take ad- vantage of the wholesale market when there is such a wide variation between retail and wholesale quotations
 County Agent Johnson spoke briefly on the value of selecting capable officers and an efficient manager and of not en- deavoring to do business on too close a margin. He called especial attention to the fact that cooperative buying was only one of the five projects which had been lined up for farm bureau program for this community and that if the men attacked the other projects with the same determin ation with which they are han ding cooperative buying, the farm bu- reau will prove of immense value to the community and will upset the theory ot some people who have questioned in the past whether this organization evel amounted to much in the southern part l of New London county.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
 MAKE FOOD SOUR
CAUSE INDIGESTION

Experience has taught me that most people who complain of stomach trouble and indigestion possess stomachs that are perfectly healthy and normal" says we'll known authority The real trouble, which causes all the sornuess, gas and pain, is excessive acid in the stomach, This acid irritates the delicate stomach lining, sours and ferments the food before the point of digestion is reached.
 Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases. They give only temporary relief, do not correct the cause and often do great harm. A better plan, if you hot Magnesia water made from a tea spoonful or four tablets of pure Bisurated Magnesia. which can be obtained from any reliable druggist. This instantly neutralizes the acid, sweetens the stom- ach, and your meal digests naturally without pain. Try this for a, few weeks and see if your stomach does not feel 2aQ per gent better.

New Way to Curl Hair
 Fine for Outdoor Girl

hair is the proper thing before going mo- toring, boating or golfng, or indulging in any outdoor sport or exercise. This will not only give the hair the most beautiful
 wavy and curly appearance imaginable
 but wind or heat will not take the curl
 out. The cur1iness is quickly acquired
 and lasts much longer than where waving
 tongs are used. Besides. the hair will be bright and lustrous, instead of dull and
 dead looking. When combed out 1t vii
 be as nice and fluffy as if it had just beer shampooed.
 Just get bottle of liquid silmerint at any drug or department store, follow 1 the accompanying directions, and yoJ will be simply delighted with the result This product is of course perfectly harm | less and there is nothing sticky, greasy | or unpleasant about it.
