Legion is now engaged in its geatest
and most important objective, the
care of the children of the veterans,
its slogan being: "A home for every
homeless child of a veteran" And he
told of the successful dive carried on
by the Legion to raise $5,000,000 as its
endowment fund to be used in the
aid and care of the dependent chill
dren of its comrades. The fund is
invested so as to net 1-2 per cent
or S225,000 per annum. A portion of
this fund is still allotted under the
riginal program for the care of the
disabled, but in short time the en-
tire income will be devoted to the
care of the children.

Omaha in 1925 prescribed the general
plan. National Child Welfare COM

Special Offer
to Rheumatics
Local Druggist Guarantee-Money
Back If Old Time Remedy Does
Not Bring Quick Relief

What chance does any sufferer take
when Rheuma is guaranteed to Danish
all torturing Rheumatic pains and
swollen joints or money back?
Why not investigate this offer?
Talk to any druggist about it. Rheu-
ma must drive the Rheumatic poison
from the system, bring swollen joints
back to normal and relieve all agony
or it costs nothing,
People so crippled that they could
not walk have been freed from the
iron grasp of the demon, rheumatism
with the Rheuma treatment.
No matter how skeptical you may
be, nor how many remedies you have
taken to relieve your suffering, you
owe it to yourself to try Rheuma on
this money back offer. All druggists
sell it. Everybody can afford Rheuma.
It's not expensive and absolutely
harmless.-Adv.

FARMINCTON
TYLER Judkins

Tyler JudkinS, a native of Farm
ington, died at his home in Mexico,
Me, Wednesday evening about .
o'clock, at the age of 50 years, after
a brief illness with pneumonia. His
vile, who was Miss Retta Locke of
Pennington, has also been i'll for
some time, but is now on the road to
recovery. Mr.. Judkins leaves one
sister, Mrs. Oliver P. Stewart of
this village; brother, Albert G..
Judkins of West Pennington, and
another brother living in Mexico.
Harrington relatives were much
surprised to learn of his death. for
up to a short time before his death
he was considered to be having a
light run of pneumonia and it was
understood that a quick recovery
was excepted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart went to Mex
leo by automobile as soon as they
received the word returning during
the night. Mr.. Judkins moved from
Pennington to Mexico a number of
years ago, and was employed in
Rumford. He had no children.
The plant established here about
40 years ago by the Russell Bros. q
Estes Co., later owned for q number
of years by E. B. Estes & Sons of
New York, which was abandoned last
December, is being dismantled by de-
grees. This week the elaborate
blower system has been removed and
is being shipped away. Timber con-
tracted for before it was decided to
shut down the mill was of course
accepted. This was sawed into
squares during the winter, and is
now being shipped to other mills. A
Waterman is employed at the plant
to protect the insurance, but it is
apparently the plan to eventually
ship away everything that is of any
value until only the shell of the
building remains. The National
Wood Process. Inc. which Is building
a fine fireproof mill near this plant,
attempted to buy the building, with
the intention of scrapping the build
ing down to the foundation, and put
ting up the new building on that, but
no satisfactory deal could be made
and this idea had to be given up.
Work on the new mill is now well
under way.
