In the days of colonization and of the birth of the nation, the commu nity in this particular section of the valley was the northern-most outpost of our country.

This material isjguaranteed to be absolute ly free from adulteration and when used alone or in combination with chemicals like Nitrate of Soda and Acid Phosphace, it has a record of giving splendid results. Send a poetal to Mr. Page with the request therefor and he will send you free, a formula for a mixture which Las been approved by the Director of the Vermont Experimf nt Station, as being a very desirable "general pur pose" mixture, tie win also give you the cost of the ingredien s, full directions for mixing, etc. Worms--a Danger to Children No gain in a child's health and strength is possible until all worms are removed. bigrjs ox worms are: De ranged stomach, swollen upper lip, sour stomach, offensive breatb, hard and full belly with occasional gripings and pains about the navel, pale .face oi leaden tint, eyes heavy ani dull, twitching eyelids, Trd Marie 11CX11UK OI IUH UUBB, UCHlDe OI the rectum, short, dry cough, grinding of toe teeth, little red points sticking out on the tongue, starting during sleep, plow fever.

WEEKS points, stood block-houses to fight off the attacks of hostile Indians upon those intrepid pioneers, as they came up the river to settle in the valley country. In turn, the frontiersmen of these outposts took up their flintlocks to fight in the wars of that period the Colonial wars, the War of the Revo lution and the War of 1812. Prominent among the early settle ments were the shire-towns of today, Guildhall and Lancaster, the former being the seventh town to be settled in the State of Vermont. Another inter esting bit of history is to be found in connection with the independent government, set up and successfully run by the sturdy and courageous inhabitants in the vicinity of Pitts burg. Unfortunately in the past, a state boundary has prevented the history ol the various communities there to be properly recorded, and it will be one of the purposes of this new associa tion to correct some of the records and to amplify and emphasize the history of some of those who ventured into the then far away Upper Valley. The originators of the movement are the Hon. John W. Weeks, a na tive of Lancaster, N. H., present United States Senator from Massa chusetts, and Col. Everett C. Benton, who was born in Guildhall, Vt. Both of these men are indicative of those CALEDONIA COUNTY. State Highway Commissioner Stod dard Bates of Derby presided at a meeting of about 100 road commission ers and selectmen of Caledonia county at St. Johnsbury Wednesday of last week. The road men were guests of the Commercial club at dinner. Ad dresses were made by A. F. Stone and Alexander Dunnett, and Frank O. French entertained. The public service commission has heard the petition of the Essex storage Electric company which contemplates the development of a storage reservoir and electric power plant on the Moose river. The company contemplates a capitalization of $200,000. Alexander Dunnett of St. Johnsbury represented the petitioner and N. A. Norton of Lyndonville appeared for the state. The dam would be 50 feet high and would cost about $100,000 aside from the land damages. The commission has the matter under consideration. Fail banks, Morse & Company of Chicago has decided to purchase, by exchange, all the stock of the E. and T.

Fairbanks & Com pany who have deposited their stock will receive about April 1 certificates of the preferred Fairbanks, Morse & Company with dividends at the rate of six per cent to April 1, 1916.

Both have, since their birth, retained an active interest in their birthplaces, continuing the acquaintances of their boy-hood days, and returning to the home country just as often as busi ness would permit. They are constantly giving gifts of a public nature to their native towns. Singularly enough both have presented libraries to the respective towns of their birth ana these libra ries have been not only of tremend ous material benefit to the residents, but their architectural standard also is such that they have both been given illustrated space in the Archi tectural Review of the United States. The others interested in the as sociation have in a like degree main tained their love for the Valley Country and so has come the forma tion of the "Association of Descen dents of the Early Settlers of the Up per Connecticut Valley."

' There Jwill be a public meeting at the hall April 7 in the interest of farm EVIL OF HASTE. In our hurry to have things done we do not succeed we blow up. The curse of this age Is rush. It makes children old before their time; it wrecks men in the prime of their manhood; It shortens lives and fills the insane asylums, and on women it bears hardest of all. "Do It now!" "Get busy!" "Step live ly!" "Hustle!" are the orders of the hour, and in these phrases lies the greatest weakness of the age. Children today have no time for mud pies; they must be precocious little men and wo men, must lead the life of adults. Their school work is a rush that leaves them little education. The modern woman puts tremendous nervous energy into everything she does, and this rush scheme of existence is hardest on her. No great thing is ever done in a hurry, and yet we are proud of being strenuous. Rev. A. E. Keigwin, New York.

An efficient oil heater (we recommend the Perfection Smokeless Oil Heater) will give ten hours of clear, odorless heat on a gallon of kerosene. It will not smoke and it will not give off odor, so long as you are careful to fill it with reliable fuel. The best way to make sure of always getting safe, clean, dependable fuel is to buy it by name. Say "Socony" (So-GO-ny) to the grocer's boy when he comes to take your oil can. Socony Kerosene Oil is the name of the Standard Oil Company Qf New York's best kerosene. It is a quality product so much better than ordinary kerosene that it is decidedly worth asking for. If your dealer sells genuine Socony Kerosene he will display the Socony sign in his window. Look for this sign. It is a quality sign and one of the easiest ways to recognize a reliable dealer. We recommend the following oil burning devices as the best of their kind: New Perfection OH Cookstoves and Water Heaters, Perfection Smokeless Oil Heaters, Rayo Lamps and Lanterns. ;1 Wp-SLL J IB STANDARD DlLCON.Y.
