Pursuant to an order of the Probate Court for the District of Woodstock, will sell at public auction at the Pro bate Office in said Town of Woodstock on the 18th day of December, 1929 at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, a certain tract or parcel of land, containing 20 acres, more or less, with the standing timber thereon, belonging to Mary L. Sumner, and situated in the South western part of said Woodstock and on the Westerly side of the highway leading from Kenyonville to Eastford, bounded as fellows, viz:
 Bounded on the East by the afore- said highway; on South by land of Lucy Allen Wyman; on West by land formerly belonging to Angie Tatem on North by land formerly belonging to Albert Kenyon, and land now own ed by J. Nj. Tatem.
 The growth on the lot is nearly all pine, and has been estimated at nearly 100 NJ. feet. As the layout for the new State road is across a DOT tion of the lot, and through a part of the best of the timber, hence the sale. As the lot borders the present high way, making 1t easily accessible, this is an excellent chance for some lumber man.
 Terms of sale are S200 down at time of sale, and balance at time of deli very of deed. within 5 days of sale.

ASaleas as Home Product


TT is no longer necessary to go out into the
woods and dig azaleas and rhododendronS4ine
order to have them in your yards. They May
be grown at home from seed, thing long con-
sidered impossible. j-.-.
B. Y. Morrison, washingtonian attached 20
the ONCE Of Foreign Plant Introduction, has
successfully demonstrated that the plants may
be started from seed. ,.t >.
An acid soil, Of course, is necessary, for these
plants thrive only In soil of that nature. Mr..
Morrison filed his seed flats with o compost
Of one-third sharp sand and two-thirds leaf
soil. The latter he made by gathering slightly.
decayed leaves. He discarded the top leaves
and the bottom layers, taking only those in be-

held their stems and leaf veins. These he
rubbed through fine screen. .,, ..

UnbrodactiUs Forest Land

A DOLLAR an acre doesn't seem so much
to lose year, but when the number Of
acres is 100000 600, the loss for each year is
something to blink over.
Unproductive acres of forest land reaching
that total lie in the three Lake States, Accord
ing to the Forest Service. Joseph Kittredge, jr..
has been carrying on survey in those STATE
and what he found hasn't awakened any undue
enthusiasm. In his opinion, the present rate Of
reforestation will hardly bring about the de-
sired results in any reasonable length of time
Up to 1926, for instance, less than one third
OF one per cent Of the unproductive area had
been planted. An increase of the annual plant.
ing in each Of the three states to 100000 acres
year would, when the wood became mer-
charitable, provide an annual stumpage Of
$4,000, 900 at existing prices.
This total would keep 200 small sawmills
permanently busy and would support 200 smaIl
communities. DO

remember the little school and dear old Mrs.
Peckham, who from an accident always went
on crutches. Who remembers the little garden?
Who remembers the bucket Of water on shelf

on or near the northeast corner of Tenth and

Orphan Asylum, established by Father Mat

st. Patrick's Church had very early begin

1892, when Father Caffrey, its founder, is be-
Neved to have come here at the invitation OF
his friend and fellow countryman, James Ho-
ban, architect of the White House. The ground
upon which the old church stood, and where
the present structure now stands, was pur-
chased on April II. 1894, by the same Father
Anthony Caffrey, who erected at first frame
structure which about 1904 was replaced with
a brick building.
James Hoban was buried in st. Patrick's
Cemetery, which was also in the square between
Ninth and Tenth and and G streets, but now
rests in Mount Olivet Cemetery on the Bladens-

and in all probability died there
