favors also.

One Thing She Doesn't Like
Dear Cynthia--I am a young girl

manly, but one thing there is that I
don't like about him. He always tells me
where he got his hats, neckties, coat
collars and also he tells me how mucn
money he has and how much his clothes
cost.
My parents always ask me why
don't 60 with him as often as used
to. When 1 tell them the reason they
laugh and say I am foolish Please
help me. ANXIOUS.
1t is not well bred thing for him to
do. You are right not to like it, but
could YOU not let him know in tactful
way that it is not really good form
to tell of those things? You can do it
II you are careful not TO be personal

Takes Issue With Youths.
Ono young lady's essay forwarded
the 100000 young men who have
reached their majority since the last
draft registration in 1918. and she de-
clares that these young men should
undertake. in part. the obligation met
by their older brothers during the war
time Army. The essay follows. in
part:
Since the last draft registration Of
1918 more than 100000 young men
between the ages of twenty and twen-
ty-one years have passed into the vot-
ing age. These young men have be-
fore them the example Of more than
100000 men who answered the call
OF the nation in 1917 and 1918.
These men did not don the uniform
Of the United States Army with any
prospect of individual gain. Tho
greater percentage of them indeed
lost greatly in financial assets. The
only thought OF gain that ever en-
tered their minds was the gain in self
satisfaction that they were doing
their duty. They did this cheerfully.
First Thought for Family.
Tho first thought was to look out
for the women folk and children, and
FIX everything at home in shipshape
fashion, as all good citizens shold
The next thought involved the choice
OF branch of the service in which to,
serve. The next thought and action
was to get into the service in the
quickest possible way, then to do
their level best to get to the other
side. where they felt they could do the
utmost good. All of these men did
not get over, but half of them sue

Barton, Orleans, Irasburg, Lowell,
Newport and West Derby named
by War Department.

A list of 90 official designations of
landing fields in Vermont, furnished
by the director of air service, war de-
partment, has just been issued by the
Aero Club of Vermont together with
the following extract from a letter
from the director of air service:
"Only the more thickly populated
cities have been numbered thus far,
but should smaller municipality de-
sire to establish a landing field, that
town shall be immediately furnished
with an official number"
The Aero Club urges towns and
cities to "Put these numbers on the
solid earth. DO it this summer" /"
cial number is the only way to mark
landing field so the pilot can identify
it from the air, and the figures ought
to be visible at least 5000 feet.
Several airplanes have landed on
the upper end of Brattleboro Retreat
meadow, which is an excellent landing
place and is visible long way off
but it is private property.
1t is not improbable that delivery
of mail in Brattleboro by the air route
will be brought about in the near fu-
ture, and the people ought to be con-
sidering the question of making ar
rangements with the owners of the
Retreat property or of providing a
suitable landing place elsewhere.
A joint meeting of the Aero Club
of Vermont with the Vermont Society
Of Engineers is being held in Bur
ington this week. One of the ad-
dresses is on Aviation Landing
Fields. This is a subject of intense
and practical interest to the citizens
of every state which desires to play its
part in the development of aviation
during the year 1920, which will be a
'landing field year."
Barton is designated as landing
place No. 70.
Orleans is designated as landing
place No. 80.
Irsaburg is designated as landing
place No. %.
Lowell is designated as landing
place No. 7S.
Newport is designated as landing
place No. 81.
West Derby is designated as landing
place No. 90.
Nearby towns outside of Orleans
county are as follows: 73, West Burke
"a, Danville; II, Hardwick; 81, Islant
Pond; 72, Lyndonville; 68, Morris
vile; 80, Richford; 65, st. Johns

Advertising Or Dairy Business.

Not so long ago a prominent regis
tered stock breeder said, 'I find that
there is usually a bigger call for reg
istered bull calves Immediately after
some Farm Bureau meetings have
been held. / give the Farm Bureau
credit for lot of the stock / SELL" It
is difficult to actually measure results
in Farm Bureau work but such a
statement as this leads US to believe
that this organization is proving its
value.
And this brings us to another
point, as the work of the Farm Bu-
reau progresses and demand for bet
ter stock increases, where can it be
quality and good grade cows are
bound to be in demand. The farmer
who has something to sell or expects
to have in the near future should be
considering how best to advertise his
stock. One thing that will call atten-
tion to his farm is the use of Greg
istered Bull' sign tackled in some
conspicuous place on his buildings.
Three of the cattle clubs, Holsteins,
Guernseys and Jerseys, furnish these
signs free of charge to owners of reg
istered bulls. They are attractively
printed on tin. A supply of Jersey
and Guernsey bull signs are on hand
at the Farm Bureau office and sup
ply of Holstein signs is expected
soon. Anyone may secure one by
making application to the Dairy Com
mitteeman in their community or
writing the Farm Bureau office.
The bull is very important part
of the dairy and it is just as impor-
tant for a farmer to advertise the
fact that he owns a registered bull of
such breed as it is for the merchant
to let it be known that he sells GER
tain kinds of groceries. If we are to
supply the demand for good breeding
stock, we must know where it is and
the dairyman that makes a practice
of advertising in various ways is the
Imam that will profit from his demand
mo firm can sell its goods to advan
ltage without advertising same
is true of the dairyman who raise:
high-grade stock.

MIR. and Mrs. Gorham Married SO
Years

The informal reception given by
the Ladies' society of the Congrega-
tional church in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
George H. Gorham's fiftieth wedding
anniversary, at the Congregational
church parlors, Monday afternoon and
evening was very pleasant affair.
There were present a large number
of friends here and several from out
of town, also many were unable to
attend on account of sickness and
bad travelling.
Two poems written for the occasion
by Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Webster and
by w. B. Prctor were both read by
Mrs. Proctor. Mrs. III. j. Stannard
sang "When You and / were Young
Maggie" and Mrs. W. M. Wright
sang "Silver Threads Among the
Gold" With few well chosen words
Mrs. Proctor presented Mr.. and Mrs
Gorham with a gold piece gift from
the Ladies' society. They also re-
ceived other sums of money, gifts
from friends.
All enjoyed the selections played on
the Victrola, kindly furnished by Mr..
Lang.
Refreshments consisting of sand
wiches, cake doughnuts and coffee
were served.
All returned to their homes at an
early hour after wishing Mr.. and Mrs
Gorham many more years of happy
welded life. Mr.. Proctor's poem fol-
/ lows:
Twas fifty years ago today
That Cupid's work begun.
| 1t happened in the usual way,
Two fond hearts beat as one.
Sweet words, but gems of sweeter
thought,
'Will you be mine till end of time;"
| No sweeter lesson ever taught
In poets fairest rhyme.
The lover gave the wedding ring
Into the goldsmith's hand,
Grave me, said he, tender thought
Within this golden band;
The goldsmith 'graved with careful
art
These words, "Till Death Us Part"
Then wedding bells rang gladly out
The husband said, "Oh wife,
Together we will share the grief
And happiness of life"
AZ give to thee my hand and heart
Till death US part"
So down life's pathway side by side
Through fifty changing years,
They shared each others happiness.
They dried each others tears.
Our hearts and hands are with you
both
AS on through life you GO,
Brother, sister, friend and neighbor
May you no sorrow know.
'Tis love, goodwill and friendship
We bring to you this day,
And may Gods richest blessing
Be with you all the way.
