Mr.. Fuller announced his views on
work and marriage thirteen years ago.
when he married for the second time,
taking as his wife an old family
friend, 80 years his junior.
At that time he enunciated several
aphorisms which gained wide quota
ton, among them being:
Solomon was the wisest man that
ever lived. for he had 600 wives.
Marriage is the sorcery that re-
juvenates a man.
Ponce de Leon WIS foolish TO set
out on an endless search for the
fountain of youth. He could have
found it in the heart Of some comely
young Spanish girl"
At the time of the Chicago fire he
left his own home TO burn while he
saved the stock of his wholesale drug
establishment for the use of the fire
sufferers.
After the fire the drugs were worth
their weight in gold. but it was his
boast that he did not raise prices.

ITALY SEEKS OIL WELLS 0F HER OWN Will Promote Proposals for Oil
 Land Development

: Rome, April 13.-Wildcatting for speculative activity.
 The absence of any mineral oil pro- duction throughout the Italian penin- sula has caused the government to consider means for the discovery of any oil deposits within the borders. A ministerial committee, headed ~ by Premier Mussolini. has been formed to promote proposals for the develop ment of oil lands. The committee has already held several meetings.
 Italy's need for her own oil and her absolute dependence on importation of oil from abroad has been given weighty consideration by every min istry. The importance of oil, especial ly in time of war, has urged itself up- on the present government with the result that the newly constituted min- isterial oil committee intends to give all the encouragement and assistance possible in the discovery of deposits.
 The committee is expected by sys- tenn of subsidies and premiums to fos- ter the formation of oil companies to undertake drilling. Little or nothing Is known of any oil deposits in Italy at present. Many of Italy's public men have constantly contended that there are mineral deposits in the vol. canic strata, and that among these de- posits is oil.
 Meanwhile, the Sindacato Nazionalc Combustibili, an Italian development corporation. has already started ne- gotiations for oil lands in Albania. English and American companies also have been negotiating with the Alban- ian government for oil concessions,

Large Tract in Green Mountains To Retain Primal Beauty

Middlebury, Vt, April 13.-Rejec- tion by congress of the offers in the will of Joseph Battell of Middlebury of large tract of the Green Noun tain Range for use as national park, gives to Middlebury College what Is believed to be the largest body of heavily timbered land owned or con- trolled by any educational institution in the United States. It also means thataMr. Bastell's hope to preserve a great sectiof of the Green Mountains in tlfeir virgin, form will be realized in a noAable way.
 3,0OO Acres In Tract.
 By the terms of the will $500 acres of land in the towns of Lincoln and Warren, Vt., near Middlebury, were offered for use as a national park. It was provided that If congress failed to accept the land it would revert to the ownership of Middlebury College. The college already had been left a tract of nor than 25,000 acres of mountain land which MT. Battell had spent his time and fortune for 50

Children Found Writhing on Bank of
 River-One Dead and Second May
 Not Live.
 Waterbury. April 13.-Five year old Joseph Raccynski is dead and Anthony Gedrat. age six. is in St. Mary's hospital here not expected to live, as result of what is thought to be strychnine poisoning. The boys, who lived on the Thomaston Road about three miles from this city, were found writhing in convulsions on the east bank of the Naugatuck river late Wednesday evening. They had gone to the river bank to play fishing" and were missed when they did not re. turn to their homes for the evening meal.
 A hurried search revealed the two lads lying on the rocks unconscious and at widely separated points of the river bank.
 It is not known how the children obtained the poison as the nearest quantity of strychnine is kept in the dispensary of the Chase Metal Works, situated at considerable distance downstream from the scene of the tragedy.

Sometimes, 1t is said. the press was stopped in the midst of run on Friday afternoon so that the latest accident, which might be at point on the Pacific Coast, could be added to the list. Editorial ly, Mir. Battell also fought the new transportation medium, urging that new roads be built for automobiles and that the old highways be pre- served for horses.
 While this campaign was under way MT. Battell founded an unique hotel on a plateau near Breadloaf, a thousand feet above Middlebury. From this private tract he barred all propelled vehicles. A tele- phone line from the village gave warning of any attempt to invade its precincts.
 Today hundreds of cars man make their way in summer Up the once se- cluded road to Breadloaf Inn, and Middlebury College has established in the hotel a summer school of Eng fish, to which for six weeks period teachers come from all parts of the country for intensive study.

 Scientific forestry will be applied by the college to a part of the tract, but under the provisions of MT. Battelrs will large part of the holdings will be preserved in primeval state.
 In addition to his craving to &C., q,iire scenic lands, MT. Battell was widely known for his unfailing oppo- sition to the automobile and his friendship for the horse. As breed : CT of Morgan horses his name became we'll known, and the farm used by him has since been bequeathed to the government. It is known as the United States Government Morgan Horse Farm.
 Battell Championed Horses.
 Of all the numerous opponents Of automobiles 20 years ago, few were situated as was Mir Battell to carry on his propaganda. Through the col umns of weekly newspaper, which he owned, the champion of the horse conducted his campaign against the mechanical innovation.

The Italian corporation expects, through diplomatic channels, to secure the consent of the Alban- ians to drill It has approached the Italian government asking it's aid and protection in the development of All hanian oil and requests the right to build the necessary oil stations in Bari, Brindisi and Venice.

Winter still seems q long ways off

exceptionally fine for the first two
days in December and warm enough

cars are using chains as yet. A few
heavy cars have been hauled out in
this vicinity but only when they have
turned too far from the roadbed into
the ditch. The frost has not been
deep enough to make the mud deep
and even the heavy rain Friday did
not hurt the state highways.

Interesting Window Display
Waterville Motor COmpanv

In the window of the waterville Mo-
tor Company is a section Of the we'll
known pumpkin pine" tree brought
back by John Hennings from his re-
hent hunting trip. An interesting fea-
ture of the wood is the fact that it is
probably over: 200 years old and that
most OF the substance remains hard
and good. In the territory above Eus-
tbs on the Dead River section, this tree
fell many years ago and in some way
laid upon two lodges so that it did not
touch the ground The hunting party
noticed this particular tree for sew
eral seasons. but this time Mr.. Hen
nings decided to bring back piece Of
the wood that may have been growing
when Benedict Arnold and his soldiers
passed through Maine and through
that section, for this spot is located
on the Arnold trail. He reported that
tho top has been broken Off and de-
cayed. but that the trunk lying on the
earth measures 81 PAGES, or about III
feet, in length. From the base Of the
trunk to where the first branches
spread out Is measures go feet, giving
one an idea of what this giant Of the
forest" looked like when living.
