4 Vermont StOnebOat.

The man who wants a stOneb0at now
Goes forth and buys a metal prov;
To foreSaid prov of iron cast
He bolts two planks tremendous fast;
Then CroSt the rudder md. or flank,
He bolts a further strip of plank.
And fore he knows Jest what he's done
He's got u boat all right to run.
1t isn't much like tramping round
Through sort of seepy, swampy ground
To find a tree that amt much good
Except for crooked stonebat wood;
A tree YOU have to chop iesO.
And leave until we have some snow,
To snake it ont from 'mOngSt the Snags
And not kill off a yoke of stays.
Then when YOU get your clumsy log
To mill. you re apt to skip q cog
And find it sawed for hencOop stock.
Unless you watch the sawmiu clock.
And show the man each time YOU pass
Your log there in the mud and grass,
To tell him how you want it cut
To save the rainbow in the but.
The day you get your lumber home.
Your art-StrUck daughter sails for Rome
You're so stirred up YOU guess you'll pile
Your stock and let it dry a while:
Then come along them thirteen years
OF times as hard as misers tears;
You cant afford, the way things roll.
To buy bolt or bore a hole.
THEN things look better: Blaine will win
Hands down when all the votes are in ;
The Lions tail will get a twist
And English gold fill every fist:
You buy a brand new Steel-beam pillow,
THAT weighs a ton and needs a scow
To get it fie,dward-thon you vote
1Cu might as we'll build your boat.
But when you go to get your stuff
You find you've waited long enough
And ten years longer every plank
Collapses when you give yank:
Col Ri. you say. with Belle to home,
Instead of arting off to Rome.
I'd built mE boat in time BY Gee
And saved darn good crooked tree"

tract cOntemplates a oue-storY yellow
brick veneer building similar to the
suburban stations near Boston. 1t is
to be on practically the same site as the
old one, built in the 50's, enlarged at
various times.
The baggage room will be at the south
end in nearly the same location as now.
The main part of the building extending

Business Men Are Looking
for Man Who Gave Them
Checks Said to Be Worth

! The marvellous curative effect OF
Albuuuerque's climate, and chow to
make little money go long way
are the features of the following
story: -,
With a financial equipment OF
exactly nothing, 4 man whose
name has not been learned, pur-
chased A. restaurant, $1,000 wortS
of furniture, $114 worth of clothing
for his wife, paid the realtor a
commission of $3.50, secured room
and board for the period of ms

worked" somebody for his fare
out of town.
Giving the name Of ]. W. An
thony, the man deposited at the
Citizens National bank a draft fol
$1,000, receiving therefor a receipt
to be held until collection was
made on the First National bank
OF Kansas City, Mo. Getting III
touch with the Roberts Turner
Realty company, he said he wanted
to buy a restaurant, was shown the
American cafe on South Second
street. and said he would take it.
On this transaction he gave the
name of W. f. Porter and paid the
realty man $3.50 as commission ana
to bind the sale. The man then
entered the Livingston Furniture
companys store and ordered $1,000
worth of furniture and fixtures.
Then he and his wife went to the
store of the National Garment
company, where the woman
purchased $114 worth of clothing,
paying for them with a check.
1t was late Saturday afternoon
when the man completed his pul*.
chases, and he told several of those
with whom he had had transactions
that he needed a little ready cash,
IL was understood that practically
all Of them cashed small checks
Tor MIN, and that the Combs hotel
ana restaurant also cashed his
cheCks for small amounts.
Inc man has not been seen since
The only heavy loser is the gar

A FATALkCCIDENT.

On Tuesday August 22nd, Mr..
George Cox Hllile Wefking in 4 saw

was called aid he thought it best to
take the wounded. man to the hos
pital at Rockwpdd. George had al
ready lost a great amount of blood
and the shaking Of the car must
have started the wound to bleeding
again, and he died before they got
him to Lancing.
We have only received this in
formation from second hand but it
seems to us that if proper care and
attention had been given him his
life would have been saved.
George, as he was known to his
friends and relatives was splendid
young man, who was hard worker
and attended to his own business.
We always thought so much of him
He was honest, truthful and brave.
He will be remembered as the only
married man in Morgan county who
was in the first draft and who was
married several years before the
war came up, who refused exemp-
ton and went to the war. His
friends told him he could claim ex-
emption, but his answer was, Il
am no better than any one else,"
and he served his country honest
ly and faithfully, an example that
the young men of this country
should emulate.
George will be greatly missed by
his many friends and relatives. He
leaves wife and one child, mother
brothers and sisters and a host of
relatives and friends to mourn his
going.

SOIL ANALYSIS
and Plant FOOD.
By T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

The Department of Agriculture is
, frequently called upon to analyze
soil, and at times the chemist OF the
Department has been pretty busy
complying with these requests. in
connection with his other duties.
The chemical analysis of soils
will tell the different elements OF
plant food, and the quantity in
which they are present, but it can
| not tell how much of it is available
for plant growth. | have seen soil
as rich in plant food as soil of the
Nile, but on account of its physical
or mechanical conditions, it was not
available for plant growth. Soil
that is soaked with dead water will
not grow crops except some forms
OF swamp grass.
Flowing soil when it is too wet
will lock up the plant food and
make it unavailable for plants. / ain

pare a good seed bed, and then after

plants are up, cultivate thoroughly,
shallowly and often. Make available
all the plant food in the soil.
When the crop is growing and
maturing, can tell by its appear
ance in what it is deficient what
element of plant food it is necessary

know if the soil is deficient in nitro

the pale, sickly green of the grow

If there is a deficiency of potash

the soil by the danger signals the

any apparent lack of potash by

with the surface soil.

dale, the first of the week.
The strike situation here remains
unchanged. There has been no dis
orders and peace reigns supreme.
Freight service is almost at a stand
still, and passenger service is badly
demoralized.
This community was shocked a
few days ago by the death of Mrs.
Clyde Cooper. Mrs. Cooper was sick
but few days She leaves besides
her husband three small children.
Mrs. Cooper was buried at Crab Or
chard cemetery, where very large
crowd of friends paid their last re,
spects. Mrs Cooper was the daugh-
ter of MIR. and Mrs. G.. w. Alley of
the third district. She will be great
ly missed by her friends and family.
Another death which cast shad-
ow over the community was that of
John B, Quinn, who died Saturday
night, Aug. 18th. Mr.. Quinn had
been sick for some time, but his
death was a surprise not only to his
many friends but to his family RS

partook of his supper, and in few =
was dead. Mr.. Quinn was
buried at the Hartman Cemetery,
He leaves behind him his
wife, Mrs. Ollie Quinn, and one son
Gilbert Quinn. He had lived here
for several years, coming here from
Hartman. Mr. Quinn was a good
business man, had been mayor of
the town of Oakdale, and was on
the bridge commission which con-
structed the new bridge here last
year. He will he greatly missed.
A number of freight cars were
burned sometime Monday of this
week at Indian Head, just across
the state line. Several cars of coal
were also burned. The arrest of one
man was made a few hours after
the burning happened. charged
with having set fire to them. 1t is
said that the incident had no con-
nection whatever with the strike on
this road.
We would like to make suggest
ion to the Superintendent of County
Roads. 1t is this: When your men
trim off the right of way, do not let
them cut down the beautiful shade
trees. The old countries spend mil
lions to have beautiful shaded roads.
We have the trees already in most
places, and they should be trimmed
up instead being cut down. Don't
you think so, too?

depends greatly upon the constituencies
of the detector and for this reason IL is
well to buy a good, tested crystal. The
crystal must be Clipped off a bit, SO
that it has q bright surface and gives
a good contact.
Solder a small bit of metal-the
technical term is "wing'-in the slot
of the cat whisker screw. This makes
it more convenient to turn the screw
with your fingers.
Insert the crystal in the cuff clip.
Screw down the cat whisker till 1t
touches the detector. The instrument
is now ready for use. If. instead of
mounting it on a base of its own. you
prefer to mount it on the tuning coil
base, you may do SO.

way. All the parts are purchased,
however, and only the assembling need
be done by you. The connections in
this case are made between the nuts on

BE sure when making connections
and before soldering any joints that
all parts are well scraped.
