i : When you buy “at home,” you see what you buy before you pay out your good money; you do not wait; you pay no high freight; you get known brands of goods from people you know who stand behind every thing they say and sell. Do not buy from us just to keep your money at home and be loyal to your home town, but because you can get hetter stuff for less money and get it quicker than by sending to a far-away mail order house.

I had a queer dream the other day. “Eh? What? The other night, you mean” No, I don't mean “the other night” I mean the other day. It wasn't a nightjare; it was a day- dream; a sort of waking vision, a trance, perhaps. I dreamed that the farmers of our school district got together. Unler- stand that? GOT TOGETHER! Got together at the old ‘little red schoolhouse,” which, by the way, isn't red any more. Since we had a woman trustee, a few years ago, it has been white, with green shutters and green Intticework between the windows for flowers to climb on. According to my dream, some of them brought apples and some nuts and some sweet cider and one of the two farmerettes brought a teapot in which, after Brother Sherman had kin- dled @ roaring fire in the big stove, she proceeded to ite Pekoe. There were eleven of us, including the two farmerettes. And nine had hornily calloused palms, gifts of the plow and hoe handles. And seven had on their overalls. And,_eight wore more or less scraggly beards. And most of the faces wore wrinkles. from long pondering over the universal farm problem of how to make a farm pay by selling crops which cost a hundred dollars to raise for about eighty-seven dollars and a half. * We were just—barring the two farm- crettes—a bunch of old’ hayseeds, such as might have foresathered at almost any district schoothouse in any part of rural New England. But—according to that dream—the whole ‘caboodle had become thorough- Iy sick of working for just board and lodging—and to pay for somebody else’s limousine. They were ready to the last man and woman to try what the application of a little horse sense would do for farming in this particular school district. They cracked nuts and “chanked” apples and swigged sweet cider and | farmerettes, pipe they talked things over. They turned the problem upside down and inside out and ‘tother end to. They exam- ined it and re-examined it from all discoverable angles. Then, without bothering to form any red-tapish or- ganizaton, they agreed to 2 set of reso- lutions about like the followlns: “Whereas, We farmers of the Ninth tiict have heen pullin’ in’ for some time’ without gettin' anywhere, therefore { Resolved: .

They are both very small farmers and really couldn’t afforl to do more.) Brother Sherman agreed to supply the seed drill and planters, for corn and potatoes, seeding and planting for us ail, likewise at regular acre rates. Farmerette Lawton, who has a fine reaper and. binder, agreed to do the harvesting, and to furnish a corn cut- ter, if that were found desirable. Farmerette Amory undertook to get an up-to-date potato digger and dig the district’s potatoes. Brother Hayner undertook the gaso- line engine part of the job, furnishing power for running thresher, sawing wood, grinding grain, etc. Brother John Farmer undertook to double his auto trucking capacity, so that he could do all the necessary hauling for the district. Brother Maclaren took asg his part the purchase and mainte- nance of a grinding outfit. And Brother Adamson, who has a good water power and an old, disused saw- mill, undertook to refurnish the old plant and see that the bunch of us get our lumber sawed as we want it, and when we want it—within reason- able limits, of course. Brother Higgins, who has the best head and the canniest calculation of us all, was formally and officially ap- pointed district agent, to look after the sale of our surplus products, and to see to the buying of our farm and barn and housc sunolies, at lowest| wholesale prices. Wherever he saw chance to get a betier price for our hay or potatoes or corn or oats by bunching them into one shipment than we could get for them, seiling in smail separate lots, he to put the! chance up to us. Wherever he saw a opportunity to save something in our| feed or fertilizer or grocery bills by buying for the bunch in wholesale lots, { he was, again, to put the chance up to us.

This variety of fuel continues to trickle in a little at a time for Killiagly people, but the supply remains far below nor- mal, and the days are here when householders, many of whom have no coal, finding heating with wood an actogy proposition. 1son has heard another exposi- ton of why it should have a one-man police department and also notes with interest an instructive tallk on when not to be a candidate. Danielson boys who have been in training at Camp Upton sent messages to relatives here, Thursday, saying that they expect to be mustered out of the service within a few days, The suspension of the ruling against non-war construction will mean con- siderable to Danielson during the year about tc open. Plans for construction work at Industrial place will mean the erection of several new dwellings ond other expansion work in that section. The number of prisoners at Brook- Iyn jail continues to run unusually low for this time of year. The average number of persons at this county in- stitution during the period of the war has been much elow the average for peace times, which is taken by many 2s an indicatidn that many who were considered as careless of their actions have been working and helping win the war. The removal of restrictions that have been in force is resulting in the receipt of a more liberal supply of su- gar for Danielson. Since the first of the month it has been easier for deal- ers to get sugar. Some has been re- ceived here and much more is ordered and will soon be on the way. Church choirs here will engage dur- ing the coming week on rehearsals of Christmas music, the programmes to be made especially elaborate this year with its great holiday of peace.
