Thompson and MoIIison Give Good Services as
 Automobile Painters

This concern specializes in automo- bile and truck painting only. Their material and workmanship are the best that can be obtained. While only in business for one year. they have had to obtain larger quarters in that time.
 Both Mir Thomson and MT. Molli- son are very practical men having considerable experience here and abroad and both men have held re- sponsible positions with other firms. The senior partner was connected with the Cruse- Crawford Manufac- turing company in a very responsible position for many years, while the junior partner held an equally re- sponsible position with the Brming- ham Buggy company for an equal number of years
 They have, in their short existence. painted automobiles for the most prominent people in town, taking a delight and pride in turning out their work neatly and promptly, SO that when the job Is completed 1t comes as near to being a complete job as can be obtained outside the factory.

GasSnan Touches on Salient Points of
 Stroh Alloy Steel

H. M Gassman, who has taken agency for the Stroh Process Steel Castings as southern district repre- sentative with a view to developing new uses for and following up the better known applications of this steel in this territory. talks inter estingly of some of It's salient points. He said:
 Stroh alloy steel has been attract Ing the attention of the users of ordi- nary cast steel because of its enor- mously longer wearing qualities at comparatively small increase in first cost This steel is made by the Stroh Steel Hardening Process com pany of Pittsburg, Pa, and con sists of ordinary soft steel with the wearing parts hardened by pat ented process using alloy metals that have much greater hardening effect than carbon. These alloy steel parts cannot be machined on account of their hardness but have to be ground. This treatment takes effect as deep as threefourth inche and makes steel that Is 50 per cent harder than chilled iron yet having the strength of the ordinary steel casting.
 The service given by this steel all over the country shows that 1t will wear from three to ten times as long as the ordinary carbon steel These castings are especially adapted for pinions gears. rollers, sheave wheels and sprockets, track wheels, crushing and grinding machinery, slag and gravel handling equipment, and for other installations particu- larly where steel is subjected to the wearing action of abrasive dust or larger particles of material. The prospects for wide use of this steel in the industrial works of the south are very encouraging, as the opera tors of industrial plants know that the long life of this steel will be larger factor in cutting down the otherwise high cost of frequent re- placements and loss of production caused by wear and failure of cast ings.

FEDERAL HELP STRENGTHENS
Much More Accomplished for Country
Than Simply Provide Funds
for Construction.

prepared by the United States Department
of AgrcultureJ
Federal aid has cone a great deal
more for the country than simply to
provide funds for road construction,
according to the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. One of the most far
reaching results has been its influence
in placing the greater part of the high
way work of the country in the hands
of experienced engineers Of state high
way departments.
In 1915, prior to the federal-aid act,
20 per cent of the road work was done
by agencies other than state high
way. departments, most of it by county
officials. Such system was bound to
be Wasteful. Overhead costs were
high, engineers were not always en-
pl0yed, systems to serve the best in
terests of the state as a whole were
not developed, and the opportunities
for corruption were greater.

act of 1916 and The insistence of the

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa-
miIiar With Anesthesia Many
Thousands of Years AGO.

The artificial induction of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradi-
tionally known in ancient times, writes
DR.. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet. &
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anesthesia thousands of
years ago. 1t is related of the Surgeon
Hoathe in the Third century A. D. that
he performed amputatiOn, trephining
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases of
anesthesia taken from a Persian
manuscript. The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. TAN earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment.
1t is now well known that living for
eign bodies may produce Otitis and
meningitis. In the second case the OPP

COMPILING COST OF PAWN G
Figures Secured by Bureau of Public
Roads Cover 68,0o0,000 Yards
of Work.

Average costs per square yard of va
rious types of paving for country
roads have been compiled by the bu-
reau Of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture. The fig
ures cover GS,O00,L0O square yards of
paving constructed with federal aid
in all parts of the United States dur
ing the period of 1862. The costs
per square yard are as follows; Sand
clay, IS cents; gravel, 4G cents; plain
and Surface-treated macadam, 90
cents; btuminous macadam, $40; BIZ
luminous concrete, $3.50; plain cement
concrete, 500; Acknowledgement
concrete, $2,74; AMI brick, $41O.
These figures cover only the cost of
the paving; they no not include the
cost of grading, ana, officials point out
that it must not be assumed that roads
of the several types can be construct
ed in any locality at these figures. For
example, the cost of bituminous con
crete varied from S1G0 in the New
England states to S313 in the group
of states including Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Mississippi and Alabama. In one
group of states the cost Of brick
dropped to $40. Costs of construct
ing these types in the various groups
of states have been compiled and can
be obtained from the bureau.

PAID TRIBUTE TO CAVE MAN
William James, in Eloquent Passage,
Acknowledged Mankind's Debt
to Early Human Beings.

One Of the most eloquent passages
in American literature is William
James tribute to the cave man. He
wrote: Bone of our bone and flesh
of our flesh, are these half-brutish pre-
historic brothers. Girdled about with
the immense darkness of this myster-
Gus universe even as we are, they
were born, and died, suffered and
struggled. Given over to fearful crime
and passion, plunged in the blacklist
ignorance, preyed upon by hideous
and grOteSQue decisions, vet steadfast-
ly serving the profoundest of ideals
in their fixed faith that existence in
any form is better than nOn-eXiStenCe,
they ever rescued triumphantly from
the jaws of ever-imminent destruc-
ton the torch of life which thanks to
them, now lights the world for us.
"IIoW small indeed seem individ-
ual distinctions when we look back
on these overwhelming numbers Of
human beings painting and straining
under the pressure of that vital want.
And how ineSsential in the eyes of
God must be the small surplus of the
Individuals merit, sWamped as it Is
in the vast ocean of the common merit
of mankind, dumbly and undaunting-
ly doing the fundamental duty and
living the heroic life. We grow hum
bic and reverent as we contemplate

Morning After the
Dance
BY LAURA MONTGOMERY
D. 1922, by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicat

e. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
NIinnie's round face wore an express
sion of vast disappointment as she
dressed the morning after the dance
at Resale Hall. She had been going
with Tom Miller for three years and
the girls were beginning to ask her
when she was going to wear an en-
gagement ring.
1T seems queer" she unused as she
eyed distastefully the wornout gray
gingham house apron, that lie doesn't

other girl, that is, steady, but he new
err speaks of settling down any more
and all the cottages in Acacia row are
going so fast. l thought once" here
the soft, red mouth dropped until the
happy curves were almost gone, thai
l would have one of those dear little
houses with the sunshiny south
kitchens and"

wind and grandma feels badly and"

Minnie hurriedly buttoned the ugly
gray garment about her and ran down
stairs. Grandma was apt to be difficult
when an east wind blew and her
brother Sam was home with a bad
cold.
Say" greeted Sam GROSSLY, "you
take your ease letting ma get up and

Minnie went to the dance last
night" excused Mrs. Friedly placidly,
"she got up the minute l called her.
If all my children were as helpful
as Min I'd have no cause for com

Sam flushed and drifted out to the
wOodshed to return presently with an
armful of short kindling cut the way
his mother preferred: Guess the east
wind bothered me, too" he grinned,
and sat down to the fluffy griddle
cakes that Mrs. Friedly had just
baked.
Minnie ate her breakfast thought

will satisfy them that the cattle and
stock raising possibilities are fully as
good as they have been told.
The reports from all parts of West
ern Canada at the present time fully
bear out the most optimistic expecta-
lions and hopes of the early days of
seeding. Evidence of the splendid
growth of this year is the fact that
alfalfa was cut on the 18th of June
and yielded nearly two tons to the
acre.
Corn planted on the 23rd of May,
on the 9Th of June was showing sew
eral inches about the ground, and
making glad the heart of the farmer
who had built his silo which he hoped
to fill in the latter days of August

sees them. But l don't want you to
get anything for me because my
house dresses are all whole and"
Faded and of ugly gray cOlOrs,"
cut in Minnie, wondering why she
had not thought of all these things
sooner. Now that she really surveyed
her parent she saw how patched and
faded was her neat frock.
Tom did not call up after the dance
as he sometimes did. 1t was the fol-
lowing Saturday morning that he
stopped on his way to work at the
Friedly home and asked for Sam.
Sam has gone" said Rita, "but
Minnie is in the kitchen"
Never mind" began Tom, as the
seven-year-old girl flung open the
kitchen door. He had a lively re-
membrane of Minnies untidy appear
ance on the last occasion when he
had surprised her so early in the day
and he did not desire to catch her
again.
The morning sun flooded the big
kitchen and the whirr of the sewing
machine made a pleasant, nomely
sound. The cat on the braided mat
glanced up sleepily as the tall young
man hesitated on the threshold: II
beg your pardon" he began as the
girl in the pinkfrilled frock half
turned. 81 thought Minnie was here"
Minnie rose, cycling him in perpleX
ity: whats the matter, Tom" she
demanded.
"Why, you look so pretty" he STAN
mered, keen eyes surveying the trim
little slippers, the dainty gown and
the shining brown hdir of his sweet
heart. 81 thought you didn't dress
up much unless you were going some
where, and l fancied you had guest
here. Minnie" his gaze rested on the
heap of lavender dimity with tiny
purple sprigs, lis that a party dress
you are sewing On?'
That's just a little house H"Ass I'm
running up for mother; she loves
lavender" said Minnie slowly. I'm
glad you stopped in, Tom, because l
want to tell you that I'm going to cut
out dances for a bit. THAT is-I'm
going to be busy"
The young mans face grew radiant
With a long stride he reached her
side and picked up the little be-
sfshed figure; Il like your PLAN" he
said, turning up her flushed face I'M
til the soft red lips were very close.
II wanted to let you get your fill of
dances, but | began to think you
would never be ready to settle down
and be just a poor mans wife. Your
dresses of silk and satin scared me. A
man needs girl who will make Il
home, not one who thinks of nothing
but gudding. You look SWeeter in that
thing YOU are wearing now to work
than you ever did when trtcked out
for party. Suppose we 60 to Acacia
Row tonight and speak for one of
those cottages? Want to-"
YES" agreed Minnie shyly, and
her mother passing the open door,
took off her glasses and wiped them
as she saw Minnie'S brown head
against Toms blue oyeraIls.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1922-07-13

had put into words what she had been
thinking about. For two years past
she had stinted on everyday clothes
so that she would be able to afford
elaborate party gowns. She worked
afternoons in the dry goods store
and bought all her own clothing. She
could have had alI-day work, but she
was needed to help at home.
After the children had been sent to
school and grandma, now somewhat
appeaSed by a good breakfast, had
settled down in the south bay win
dow, where she had a good view Of
the street, Minnie began the baking,
no small task for such a large fam
lily. "MOther." said the girl as her
mother sat down to the sewing ma
chine, 81 am going to get some every
day clothes. Sam was right; I've
been going around in horrid things"
The whirr Of the machine paused
for a moment. YES said the other,
"you have. | felt sorry when Tom
caught you the other morning in that
ragged apron. Your slippers are torn
and you look really shiftless."
"Oh," Minnie's cheeks grew pink,
give been spending too much on par
ty frocks and satin slippers, and Pm
going to stop 1t. Money is too hard
to earn to fool away on such things.
Even buying materials at wholesale
at the store counts up too much. I'm
going to buy some pretty dimties and
cretonnes this afternoon and some
patterns, and we are going to have
some dainty house dresses. The
dances will have to go for a time.
+" she paused suddenly and the
older woman, looking at the brilliant
cheeks and wet eyes, made no com
ment. She guessed that her girl had
had n disappointment at the party
and she thought 1t wiser TO let 1t
blow over without her interference
unless Minnie asked definitely for adj
vice.
Don't you think II Is better to look
fairly nice right along than to save
everything for grand display for an
EVENING"" asked Minnie as she cut
out cookies.
Decidedly" her mothers gray head
nodded declsively, ito my mind It

party from one Of the northern states
on the way to their new home near
Lake WinnepegOsis, Manitoba. They
were a sturdy, self-reliant lot and
carried with them a full complement
of farm machinery. With the tractor
outfit they intended to commence
rather extensive operations this spring
on the land which their scouts had
already inspected and reported on
favOrably as to it's prOductiveness.
At almost every point ON the Cana
dian border where there are located
means for admitting settlers, the re-
ports are that it is almost a daily
occurrence to admit settlers from
