Speak Publicly

| 0PCdR oOiANtt
One hundred and sixty people at
tended the mass meeting called by
posters to give the candidates a
chance to declare their stand
Guy Collins presided over the
gathering and injected some good
stories introducing the speakers.
1t was representative and inter
ested audience and was rewarded by
good talks by Shirley A. Cherry of
the third ward, w. c. Johnson and
w. B. Dewitt of the First and Sec
ond, and R. M. Thompson, Citizens
ticket candidate for mayor, and a
resident of the First ward
None left any doubt about their
stand for a cleaner, dryer city.
Mr.. Thompson was a comparative
stranger to part of his audience but
won their attention and good will
by his semi-humorous style of handl-
ing his topics. He took up the prob
lens confronting the city and the
duties of it's officials and citizens. In
doing this the speaker made frequent
side excursions that always proved
entertaining to his audience. Mayor
Thompson, as it will be. proved he
is not a novice in public speaking.
AS a former school superintendent
he laid a broad foundation for orig
inal and Independent thinking.
The voting was done at the usual
places with the polls open from 500
a. m. to 600 p. m. The result was
fairly certain by $50.

MUCH DAMAGE TO
CORN FROM WEEYIL

Considerable damage has been
done by the corn weevi this fall
and unless immediate steps are TAX
on to control this pest, a glert deal
of corn will be destroyed. says W..

prudat.ons Of the insect, but quick
work VIII be necessary.
"The corn should be placed in a
crib which is as near gas tigh. A.
it can be made, continues Prof.
T;roach, and shallow mans containing
a small amount of carbon disulphide
set about six feet apart over the
grain. Or, good results may be OBJ
tanned by sprinkling the chemical
uniformly over the corr.
The corn is not Damaged in any
way either for animal or human
consumptio nor for seed, but the
fumes are poisonous and must rot
be inhaled. Extreme care shoulG
be taken to keep the building closed
as long as any odor can lie detected,
as the gas is highly irflammable
and viii ignite from a pipe or Gig
arctic.
"The first treatment should &c
made Immediately after the corn is
gathered, and the next two or three
weeks later.

cured at any drug store at cost
Of twenty to twenty-five cents per
pound. 1t is the cheapest and mos;

few minutes after six o'c ock the
complete vote of this town was
cast. Through its early vote New
Ashford has come to be known as
the political barometer of the
country" even though it always
goes Republican.
1t was the first town in the past
two presidential elections to flash
its vote to the waiting world. With
out telephone, telegraph, postoffice,
railroad or trolley, this second
smallest town in Massachusetts has
given the news to California long
before its voters were wide awake.

ing hour of 6 a. m. Previous ar
engagements and willing spirit on
the part of the voters, made the
plan a greater success than ever.
This year there were only 80 reg
istered voters; four years ago there
were SO.
The selectmen in this tiny tiwn
are Bernard Mackey, Elmer Beach
and Harry Phelps. The town clerk
is Warren Baxter. The oldest vot-
err is Walter Smith,, TO-, who in
1916 could "see no good" in getting
out at a. m to vote, and so held
up getting the complete return un-
til 10 o'clock. Last election he was
at th1 polls 10 minutes before the
opening hour. The youngest voter
is the school teacher, Miss Beatrice
Nichols.
The town has "gone Republican"
for 20 years and the result of the
present election shows that it still
sticks to its colors.H
