Natures Wonderful Power.

Beside the moist clods the slender flags arise filled with the sweetness of the earth. Out of the darkness under that darkness which knows no day save when the plowshare opens its chfnks-they have come to the light. - Wonder a steam-plow pants up the hill, grooming with its own strength, yet all that strength and might of wheels, and piston, and chains, cannot drag from the earth one single blade like these. Force cannot make 1t; it must grow-an easy word to speak or write, in fact full of potency.-Richard Jefferies, in "Out of Doors"

Four of his sons
 Besides Ethan were at
 TICONDEROGA
 It was partly the fact that the Allen family was among the first settlers and rather prominent, but also partly the fact that no other of the pioneers of the first quarter century of the town is certainly known to be there buried, that made the name of Allen to be given the cemetery, though doubtless many others were there inferred. 1t is a curious fact that so many Cornwall men were in the Ticonderoga expedition and were so eminent afterward. Ethan Allen became a general; Heman was a captain and died from disease developed by 8 severe cold taken after the heat of the battle of Bennington; Heber was major who died likewise from exposure at the Battle of Hubbard ston; Levi was the first man to enlist for the expedition, and Ira was a colonel in the Revolution and Major General of the Vermont militia, besides holding all sorts of civil offices. Their comrade, Israel Harris was pioneer in the town and church of Williamstown, Mass, and Col Matthew Lyon was elected to congress, from Vermont Kentucky, and Arkansas. He is said to have fired with his own hand the first cannon discharged under the American flag in the Revolution and was a prolific writer. as were also Ethan and Ira Allen, beside! which, at Middlebury college, il front of the chapel, stands a statu, of Ira Allen it's founder. .' | On July 4th with band music ant singing, prayer. and addresses, tn, monument above described is to b, unveiled by member of one of th earliest families in the town, and i is hoped that widely knowl | member of the Allen family wil give an address. A basket .luncl among the pines, in front of the ol, burial ground, at 12 M., sharp, an' She opening of the exercises at P.

READY
FOR SHORE TRIPS

Warm weather OF the past few
days has caused an exodus OF motor
lists to the seashore and they have
found that the new schedule on the
Wilson Line ferry to Penn's Grove
makes the shortest way TO most OF
the New Jersey seashore resorts and
especially to Atlantic City. Reports
to the Wilson Line show that the
roads in New Jersey are now in ex-
cellent condition for the entire dis
tance.
In order to accommodate the
motorists. boats now leave FOL
Penn's Grove at els. las. 10 a. m.
12 noon, 2, 3.45, 6, s and 10 p. m
and 10 midnight The return trips
are made from Penn's Grove at 5.S5
7. and IL a. m. l, 3, 4.3o, z,
and IL p. m. This is the schedule foi
week days. on Sundays the sched'
ule is the same except the boat a.
S45 p. m. is replaced by one at
o'clock and the one leaving Penn
Grove at 4.80 p. m. Is replaced b,
one at o'clock.
This schedule makes II possible foi
the motorist to get boat at mos
convenient times and the run from
Penn's Grove to Atlantic city ol
other seashore points Is over goot
roads and is one OF the most enjoy
able runs which can be taken. Larg'
numbers OF motorists are taking ad
vantage OF the splendid service whicl
is furnished on the ferry to maxi
the trip in that way.

Players coming back from the

lot Of "hop" had gone out OF the
balls. meaning that the lively sphere
which was in use last year had been
changed again. This may mean that
the 1922 season will not see the
