STATE NEWS.

Three hundred and twenty five
seizures of liquor and property from
those seeking to bring the wet con-
traband across the northern border
marked the activities of the customs
officials of District 2 of Vermont in
the period Jan. 1, 1920, to the first
of the present year. The estimated
retail value of such confscations
totaled more than 100000. Practi-
cally all of the seizures were made
in the northern counties adjacent to
the Quebec line. There were also
five seizures of narcotic drugs hav-
ing value of $780, Automobiles
confscated in the district totaled 80
with one motorcycle, The majority
of these machines were of less cost
ly makes, though few were high
power machines. Their value was
estimated at $4,000. Horses and
wagons to the value of 5000 We're

WIRELESS CONCERTS GIVEN BY
BOYS CLUB MEMBERS.

A wireless concert was given not
long ago by members of the Ocean
County Wireless Club, for the enter
tainment of the Farm Bureau, at
Toms River, N. J. This club which
was organized by the county agent
had succeeded in getting central
receiving station installed in the
courthouse. The program, which was
heard by the entire audience by
means of an amplifer, came from
Newark, N. ]. 1t consisted of
operate solos, orchestral selections,
a speech, and the market report for
the day. At 10 p. m. the audience
set their watches by standing radio
time given out officially from Airing
ton, Va, near Washington, D. c.
This central receiving station is
one of the achievements the boys in
the wireless club have been working
toward for some months. The club
was organized shortly after the
United States Department of Agri-
culture began sending out market
reports by wireless. Under the gen
eral supervision of the county club
agent it has developed to a member
ship of 81 boys in all stages of wire
less knowledge and equipment. Their
original intention was merely to
broadcast market reports, but it
soon became evident that central
station was needed that would take
high wave messages which could be
relayed at a lower wave length to

MIND HYPNOTIzED BY SIGNS
One Reason Why City Man Fails to
FamiIiarfze Himself With the
Towns Landmarks.

"Do you know why it is so hard to
keep landmarks in your head in the
city these days.? asked the old
timer.
at is something that has bothered
me great deal. I can remember that
up to ten or twenty years ago l never
had any trouble remembering that on
such and such a corner was a three
story building with wabbly tin
cornice On another corner was a
yellow warehouse, etc.
"But a fellow doesn't remember
these things any more unless he makes
1t a duty. I mean that the mind is
no longer impressed photographically
with the appearance of buildings-or
vacant lots.
"The reason Is the advertising signs
that assault the eye wherever one
looks. The letters of the alphabet are
so familiar to the eye that when we
see sign the eye at once begins trac-
ing the letters. This doesn't mean
that we read all these signs. Our eye
is just unconsciously attracted to the
familiar type-and this type is about
all 1t sees on building or vacant
lot.
81 don't refer only to sign boards.
The merchants nowadays, particularly
the smaller merchants, fill their win
dows with signs of ali descriptions.
The names of the stores are lettered
all across buildings. The result is
we remember neither building nor
sign"

DENTAL CLINIC DOING A
BIG JOB.

Bad teeth will not have much
chance to bring bad health to the
children in the towns of Hillsborough
County, if the States first county
dental clinic continues at its original
pace. Reports from New Ipswich, N.
H., the first town to have the travel
ing clinic show that work was done
for 104 children with an average of
over 4 filings per child and over 2
extractions. This was very largely
permanent work. which was being
neglected through the lack of an
available dentist. After paving the
salary of the dentist and assistant,
and overhead and incidental expenses,
the cost of the clinic amounted to
only s432, or an average of less than
81 filling. Seven other towns have
already applied for the clinic, which
is conducted by the Farm Bureau in
cooperation with local organizations.
