BARRE'S wEALTHIEST WOMAN.
Mrs. Bolster Dies at S6-Had Large
Real Estate Holdings.


BARRE. Sept. S.-Mrs Calista Il,
Bolster, Bare's wealthiest woman, aged
So, passed away at noon yesterday, after
a lingering Illness.
Mrs. Bolster was born in Barre Aug
/, 1880. one of three daughters born to
Joel Bolster. an early settler, and FL

passed most of her life there. She at
tended the common schools and her mar
r1age to Levi j. Bolster took place in
Barre, Feb. %. 1861.
In Barre alone there are more than
100 tenements which she owned and man
aged. In East Barre and WebSterville
there were half as many more and added
10 this there were two business blocks in
this city. one of them the largest in
Barre. On Granite street she possessed
stone sheds that house 20 manufacturing
plants and she furnished the power which
propelled their machinery.
Two livery barns. farm of 800 acres
in Barre Town. and many warehouses
were also owned by her. Only last fall
she disposed of the Granite City Driving
park to the newly incorporated Barre
Granite railway. It was to be used as
terminal and the railroad paid her S25,-
600 for it. The farm was a hobby of the
late j.. j. Bolster, and his wife contin-
ued the improvements started by him.
Among the miscellaneous odds and ends
of property belonging to the estate are
two large tenement blocks on Depotl
square and three blacksmith shops.
Practically the only Surviving reIa-
tives are two nieces. Mrs A. Il. CamD

GOOD HIGHWAYS IN JAMAICA
Island in British West incies is Awak-
ening to Realization OF
Improved Roads.

The island of Jamaica, in the Brit
ish West Indies, rich in natural re-
sources and active in trade, is awak-
ening to a realization of the import
ance of good roads. The advent OF
the automobile has had much to DO
in the development of an agitation
which now promises valuable results.
The system of modern highways
which 1t is proposed to build VIII

of the island now more or less neg
lected because of their practical in
accessibility. Completion of radial
system of good roads would undoubt-
edly be followed by general adop-
ton of the motortruck for conveying
the products to the sea. The in
creased speed and efficiency thus ac-
ouired would tend to promote larger
production, and thereby increase the
wealth of this already Industrious is

PLANE REALLY FLYING FORT
Armored TripIane One of the Most

A new armored triplane, known as
the G. A. ", which is veritable fly

three-eighth-inch steel. 1t covers
three-quarters of the fusilage, all me-

The plane is powered by two Liberty
motors of 400 horse power, one in each
necelle. The engine Is of the pusher
type. The fusilage, which Is about five
feet wide, provides plenty of room for
pilot and observer to move about.
The plane carries 81 nm. Q-pound

MATERIAL FOR ROAD MAKING
Careful Study of Amount and Charac-
ter of Traffic Is First important
Essential.

Professor House of the Colorado Ag-
ricultural college is one of the best
known engineers in Colorado. He has
been head of the civil engineer depart
ment at that college for several years
and has always been in close contact
with the affairs of the state. In speak
ing about roads, Professor House
says:
"A great deal of agitation Is being
carried on at the present time, con-
corning the construction Of concrete
roads for Colorado. That some OF our
roads should be paved in this way.
there is no question. but think we
should carefully guard against over
doing the matter In order to be 1usu-
fable, road improvements must return
in economic and social benefits an
amount at least equal to the interest,
depreciation and maintenance, over
and above those of the old road.
ut is exactly the same as in ordi-
nary business The amount that should
be invested in road Improvement Is
that sum which will give the largest
annual returns in benefits to the peo-
pie of the community.
1T may be real economy to spend
$4,000 per mile for ore road ana only
$1,000 per mile for another, if the for

The soy bean has become crop Of
special Importance throughout the
country, which is indicated by the
large acreage devoted to it in 1920
and the increased interest in the pos

by the United States Department of
Agriculture has been largely RESPONSE

the crop not only in the North and
West but in the extreme South.
