EAST DOVER.
Man of Many Works.

Dan Hale, East Doyers genial post
master, storekeeper, mill owner and high
way commissioner, has discovered two
new ways of keeping himself out of mis-
chief, namely, the manufacture of syrup
cans and syrup crates. He has just com
pleted 800 cans and LOO crates.

new plant. Other buildings, including the

PROCTOR ANNOUNCES WISH.
CONTINUED. from Page L.

ity is there offered to make comfortable
living The state should make available
educational facilities in order that the
best scientific knowledge may be brought
to bear upon the problems of the farm.
1t should help in protecting plants and
animals from injurious diseases. 1t
should continue to assist in the organiZa-
ton of cooperative associations for the
grading, standardizing, and efficient mar
keting of agricultural products. Timber
production should be encouraged on land
unsuited to cultivation.
Good schools are the great guaranty
that our citizens of Che future will be
competent to deal with their problems
We must maintain the schools at the high
est possible standard, guarding against
reorganization and the expenditure of
too much public money on non-essentials.
1t is the fundamentals that count. The
schools are for our children. not our
children for the schools.
THE care of the public health and of
our detectives and delinquents should be
continued on sensible and proven lines
New methods of travel have changed
our highways from country roads to com
mercial thoroughfareS, bearing heavy
and increasing traffic. The long estab-
lished policy of providing good founda-
tons, adequate drainage and the elimina-
tion of bad grades and dangerous curves
should not be sacrificed for large eXpendi-
lures on short stretches of hard paving.
/ am not, at this time, in favor of bonding
the state for so-called permanent high
ways.
Il believe that we should be ever
mindful of the admonition in our Consti-
tuition that frequent recurrence TO funda-
mental principles and firm adherence
to justice, moderation, temperance, indus
try and frugality are absolutely necessary
to preserve the blessings of liberty and
keep our government free At present,
one of the great needs of the state is
frugality-the careful management and
economical use of its resources.
Service for the state is most honor
able. / make my pledge to the men and
women of Vermont that if by their votes
| am permitted to serve as governor |
will perform that service to the best of
my ability without fear or favor of any
man

Warmth for AyiatOrs.

An Italian inventor has found a way
to keep himself warm when soaring
above the clouds in his airplane. He
has perfected an electrically heated gar
ment, woven of resistant wires which
are coated with freproof insulating ma
terials such as silk or asbestos. There
is a thermostat control and a barometer
arrangement so that more heat is pro
vided as higher attitudes are reached.

England Druggist
Tells Why He Uses
Sanalt the Sensible
Tonic In His Own
Family

MR.. VIM. d. STRACHAN, $50
SMITHFIELD AVE, PAWTUCKET.
R. l., is ONE OF THE MOST WIDE
LY KNOWN AND RESPECTED CITI-
ZENS OF HIS COMMUNITY. WHAT
HE SAYS is EXPRESSED IN A FEW
WORDS, BUT 1T MEANS MUCH.
''My brother and l have been greatly
benefited by taking Sanalt for chronic
constipation, from which we had suffered
for years"
Probably seven people out of every
ten who read this advertisement will be
able to sympathize to some extent with
the Strachan brothers.
Very eminent medical authorities state
that at least 20 per cent. of human ills
either cause or are caused by constipation
Millions of people who have turned to
cathartics for help have only founc
temporary relief As soon as the cathar-
tic medicine passes through the system
the condition is worse than ever.
Sanalt the Sensible Tonic Is not 6
cathartic. 1t does not force any of the
organs to act, but has such a general
restorative effect that it enables stomach
liver, kidneys, and bowels to act naturally
and thus purify and enrich the blood
with the result that general good health il
restored.
Any obiging druggist will sell yor
Sanalt.

Installs Automatic sap-Gatherer.

Wesley Howe has this year connected
directly with his sugar house by means
of the "Maple-tree milking machine"
about 700 trees Sitting in the sugar
house, boiling and sugaring off, while the
sap automatically and Obediently gathers
itself, is proving such agreeable work
that Mr.. Howe regrets the close of the
season and is bordering a way in which
fence can be made to mend themselves
and potatoes do their own planting

worth. About 1868 Usage township
having quite a population with nc
post office nearer than Papinsville
held meeting to petition for a post
office. In the meeting the question OF
name was among the important
matters discussed. Mr.. l.. w. Rate
kin, who became the first postmaster,
suggested that as the post office was
to be situated on the hill overlook
ing the Marais DIES Cygnes river,
which hill was known to be underlaid
with from five to seven feet of coal, it
would be one of the richest hills in
the country, therefore he suggested
Rich Hill would be an appropriate
name and this suggestion prevailed.
The post office was secured and the
frs, postoffice was in William Wears
farm dwelling one and three quarter
miles nortl,>of the present city.
AT the same meeting Mr.. Ratekin
made the prophecy that it would only
be a question OF time until 100 cars Of
C al would be moved from that place

years later three hundred cars OF
