' by thc government, ibr. want to make ' is that i plains; we understun t lons a re unavoidable, ling In New York on every corner 1 haven' t heard a cross word spoken In England. T h e courtesy and geniali­ty of the Britisher has been a big sur­prise to m e . In answering; questions giving directions and in conducting. 1 co'nversatlons they nre extremely polite , and aftable. For Instance, this morti- i Ing when 1 came out of St, I'aul's cath'odral, a prlnce-.^lberi, silk-hat , I;,ondoner came up and asked me how 1 liked the service, and If he could glvi any Inform.ition to the tads from the States. Of course the English people a re overjoyed In' having us comc over to help'flnlsh the war . Thcy c u n t do enough for us, so they say.

I t Is not easy %b get ubout London at night, for It Is practically a dark city; the window' shades have to be ull pulled, and only a few dingy street lamps are kept -going, .ind these are blackened over on top. You under­stand this is a necessary precaution against the air ra ids . There have not been any tor fourimbnths. but t h e y a r e apt to break out a t any t ime. In go­ing .ibout the city I havc seen seyeral buildings damaged by the shells;

I am -i'so annoyed a bit by thc fact that here the tiufilc all turns to the left, 1 fear - l leuben would have some difficulty In making his Ford always turn to t h e left. There arc comparatively few automobiles to be seen here, Joy riding, even slght-jsee-Ing buses,, are absolutely prohibited. Only motors In the a rmy service or on necessary business can pass, j m a g l n e the Sew- Y'ork -Joy-riders being re­quested to refrain for ju.st o n e day In; order to save petrol (gasolene). W h a t a howl there, wqiild be! The English people are Intensely serious abou t the war and take those rt.iuests gracious­ly- 1 • ;

I have always heard much abou t t ho beautiful scenery: of Kngltind. But •cveri—so—I—never—drei mied—that—lh' country was such, a veritable garden, I shall never forget the ride up to London from Liverpool, Such lovely., verdant fields, iind such substantial country' estates. .Thcte was not a touch of au tumn ' In the landscape ex­cept for the barley fleld.s all shocked and-ready for the ;harve8t . 1 w-dnder If It Is the Englisii fOKs or the damp climate which keeps the-'flelds so fer­tile and luxurious. God may havo created fairer country fields. • but i Have not come upon -them yet. This glimpse has made:-me want to travel out throush thc l ake country, vyherc Martha and the C.amerons w-ent and then over to Bonnie .'scotland. Per­haps I shall before I return. Y'ester-ilay another "Y"' man and 1 strollcd-through the famous Kew- gardens and then took a boat u p the Thames river ns fur as Hampton Court. This por­tion of thc Thames Is exquisitely beau­tiful, with all the- summer homes on either bank, the well-kept gardens, the ouaint tea-rooms, the restful house­boats and the happy lovers out In their cosy canoes. Such a Wene of i-are and placid lietiuty makes ,«;n'e_ forget for a moment about t h - awfitl presence of war. Hampton C .u i t ls^((n Immense historical estate. You remember th.it Cardinal Woolsey built th is and g.ivc It lo King Henry VIII, For many smcra l ions it was the cour t residence of the roy.il famiiy. Now It houses Interesting relics ..f the past,

1 havc had opi.ortunlty to go about l^n.lon (|Uitc a bit. Today 1 attended morning service a l the famous Sl. P a u l s cathedral . 1 don't w-onder that it took the archi-er t . Sir Christopher ! Wren, pnictically a life-time to build this. It IS an inspiration to worship in an ediflce of such , grandeur and solidnrily. This ufternoon 1. went to chinch a.L-aln, this t ime to Westmin­ster .^libey, the most famous ecctesi-astiral ediflce in the world. Y'ou don't remember when It was built, do you? Well, It w-aii centur ies old when C«-lum,lius dl-scovered our America. Kvery fool of it seems hallowed. As w-e were a bit late I s.ii back In the poets' ("rner .

J ? TheCoIlection of "Slow Telephone Accounts THE PURPOSE OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT is to

show that it is desirable, particularly at this ti.-ie, to sa'/e the time and labor that is expended in collecting ijilis that remain unpaid after the lapse of a reasonable oenod of time,

BILLS ARE DUE when rendered on the first day of each month, and while most telephone accounts are paid promptly, there are a number of "slow" accounts that re­quire labor, time and expense that might better be devoted to other work that is more directly in the interest of the public's telephone service,

, WE BELIEVE that this method of bringing the matter to the attention of the public, this frank and open discus­sion of our aims, is all that is necessary to secure proper understanding and co-operation.

NE'W ENGLAND TELEPHONE AND TELEGEAPH COMPANY

George E, Merrill, Manager,

Fitchburg & Leominster Street Railway Co. PARE INCREASE TO 61/4 CENTS (Ticket) AND 7 CENTS (Cash) MADB

NECESSAEY FOE WAR PERIOD BY INCREASED COST OP LABOR AND MATERIALS

To the PubUc: ^ ^

This company finds it necessary to obtain increased revenue to pay the cost of operation and to maintain proper service.

After very careful study of local conditions and the effect of varions methods of increase on other roads the directors have decided the best method to be to increase fares, a^ a war measure, from 5 cents to 61/4 centi by ticket and 7 cents cash. A tariff effective thirty days after its date providing'for 7 cents cash fare and eight tickets for 50 cents is to be filed with thTpublic bervice Commigsion at once as required by law.

Eeasons which compel this action are apparent to all and hardly need explanation. On practically the entire street railway mileage of the state rates have been mcreased in order to meet rapidly increasing costs. Prices of every­thing have risen and in s e of many kinds of material used by us have doubled r ^ , f ?;, ° ° ^ ' ^ # * '^"^ ^ ""^ operating expense, has more than doubled. All sorts of i ^ products have doubled and even more and so on through the hst. Wages paid have been very largely increased since the war m all departments. Further increases are requested by our employees and are necessary if we are to pay what the State and Federal Boards have felt to be fair m similar cases. This means a veiy considerable Increase in our pav-roU which forms more than half our operating expense.

Increases in earnings; due largely to Camp Devens traffic, have made i possible for us, with practice of economy, to continue to operate on 5 cent fares But the cost of operation is rising faster than increase in revenue

The reasonableness of our proposed rates will be passed' upon by the Pubhc Service Commission. r j "=

.».,> , ™ ^ ^ ° ' ° P ^ y ^°^' " ^ y years has paid 6 7 on an absolutely unwatered capital stock and on the average has paid not over 5-; upon its capital invest ment (including capital stock, bonds, and short time notes). All we are asking IS a continuance of this reasonable retum together with proper safe-guards for adequate mamtenance of the property and integrity of the investment

This advance is a war measure and with a return to normal times we expect the present rate will again be possible.

The details, to be announced in afnple time, are being worked out and we ask your co-operation.

- A WAR-TIME ACHIEVEMENT > In these trying and .turbulent days, not a few radical changes are_ taking place, upsetting a good mahy'theories and firm convictions that served well enough before '^Hohenzollem broke up the peace ef the world." i _ • " .

We are straining every muscle to keep abreast with the daily transformation of conditions, and have'committed ourselves to a policy that is strictly in conformity with the conservation idea promulgated by our government. There is not a model in our lino that you can call impractical,, wasteful, or.extravagant. We have followed our "no Profiteering" idea, eliminating wasteful aiid ex­pensive methods of merchandising, so thatWe arc able to say that we have "Hooverized" until our prices are down to a rock-bottom standard. • ,'

We earnestly solicit a share of your patronage, with full confi- -dence that-after initial busines.*:* the establishment of acquaintance and the test of service and values, that relationship will be established with all our customers and we will take pains to justify it.

HOW VICTORY WILL BE WON

National Determination to Put Every Ounce of Strength I nto RIghteoui

Cause Will Bring Triumph.

Suppose we send 10.000 bombing air­planes over Germany. The.v nlone will not win the war. Ten thousand or flftr thousand tanks iilonc will not •win the war. A thousand land battleships or a thousand other fearful land cruis­ers alono win not win the war. Rain­ing death and destruction upon the ClvU population as a rule has only one result: It Inflames the people to greater deeds, to greater sacrifices, to greater hnte, to greater determination to win the war. France. England and Itnly are shining examples of this. No. any one Invention Is not Ukely to win the war. Some dny. perhaps, someone win Invent an. atomic ray which is capable ot pulverizing whole regiments at a stroke. Nothing of this sort is Impossible. But It Is not very prob­able. Kather It Is the whole-hearted devotion of the noncorabatants to a great and just-cause that will win the war. The nation that can throw Into the scales the greatest amount of war Itiplements, the . heaviest weight ot metal, the greatest nmount of fighters, coupled with a prodigious use of nil of the best war Inventions, will win In the'end—prov|dIng thnt every man and woinan behind the lines constantly thinks and dreams ot war and victory and i s prepared to put every last ounce of strength ns well as all worldly be­longings Into the righteous cause with­out stint or restraint. . The greatest war Inventlbn.ls the &ery;tim^ng will to win.—ElecMcal Experlcnenter.

Alfalfa Hay, Soy Beaiis, Cowpeas and ^ Oata' Are ReiBommended — Rye '

'Sewn In Fall Makes Qood Pas-tures -^ea i iut* In Favor.'*

(Prepared by United. States Department of Agriculture.)

Hog gfowers should provide home­grown feed to supply protein—so es-, sentlal tb the proper development of hogs—and feed -them In . place -of shorts, middlings, tankage , and oil meal, which are.hard to get and high in f rice. ' SubsUfutes tor. these con­centrate feeds are found In'.crops that nre Icnown to be- rich in protein, and we are advising the use of fish meal, where it Is obtaitiable. Alfalfa hay, soy beans, cowpeas and.oats \are sug­gested ns good, substitute feeds. In addition to those" peanuts', cottonseed mea^ and velvet, beans are available to hog growers In the Southern states.

vrtiSTB It can bu growu yr obtained n t reasonable prices. ., There are two ways In which this hay can, be sue-ctessfully fed—In small racks placed In protected sheds where the hogs may have free access to It, and, by grinding It and feeding It In self-feeders ot soaked In the form of thick slop. The departmwit's -specialists urge that hog growers provide an ample supply ot alfalfa. Usnally the last cutting ot al­falfa Is saved for hog feeding, but for fear this cutting cannot be harvested In good condition, on account ot weather conditions, ai sufflcient amount of the second and subsequent cuttings should be saved to supply enough feed for.hogs.

Rye sown In the fall makes -good pasture for hogs. As soon as It Is three or four Inches high the hogs can be turned in and left tintll snow cov­ers It up. Kye also provides good pas­ture In early spring. In the Southern states Abruzzl rye Is recommended, as It makes a rapid growth and heavier foliage thnn otiier varieties.

Soy Beans Are Excellent. Soy beans are valuable to take the

place of other protein feeds usually

Must Have Regular Meals. It Is said that the native In India

Is extremely particular about regular­ity In his meals: once accustomed to eating at a certain hour he must stick to It at all costs. An English" engineer had an awkward experience of this when erecting a 100-foot steel pole w-lth the aid of about thirty natives and the minimum of tackle. The pole was halfway up when the "headman" Intimated that It was dinner time. On­ly the inost desperate entreaties, cou­pled with threats, prevented the men letting the pole come down with a run, though It had taken several boors to get It into this position.

to the state of Washington. In support of the proposed chaiige

in each case the chief argument ad­vanced Is that . l t would place the re­gion to be' transferred In" the state with which It Is.most closely allied In Interests. Most of the business of Pcn­sacola, the leading city of west Flor­ida, Is with,Alabama, and If it were a part of th 'ats tate its'importance would doubtless be heightened. It Is also conslderal)jy nearer Montgomery than Tallahassee and nearer Birming­ham than Jacksonville. '-

More Than Paid the Debt. Some of us will give a second

thought to thc extraordinary achieve­ment of a congregation in Gjenei-a, N. T., which first built,with reckless ex­travagance a liiassive graystone church and then adopted the tithing system to get them out ot their diffi­culty. The story Is told In Outlook. When the church was dedicated—If that Is the right word—the debt was $82,000, and the weekly budget $230. The weekly Income was less thnn $100. In two years the debt has been re­duced to $40,000 and the -n-eekly In­come is $300. Of the 1,000. members 350 are tithers. A tither sets aside one-tenth ot his Income for Christian activities. The blessings of happiness and prosperity which have attended the people arc remarkable. Many thrilling stories are told. Some church leaders are deeply impressed by the

All Fightmg Men Brothers. A young Anierican army private

carae ont ot a gilded Broadway fiorist's the other afternoon carrying a very large and expensive bouquet tied up In waxed paper .ind walked townrd one ot those stunty baby doll roadster.-? at the curb.

As hc was crossing the sidewalk along came another American .army private, undeniably of Italian descent, and known along Broadway for hiii iiliiltty to wlelti the polishing ra,? at a Herald square shoe shining parior. Tho t».i stopped to exchange greetings.

" l.o, l-'ish Kneel" " I . o . Wop: 'Where you goln'?" "To see me hruddcr!" ".Tump in and save carfare." Whero-

npon this strangely ,assorted pair, hrothors lir the greatest tie man can devise trnvolo.l ,iway together,—New York Snn,

purchased. They make a very satis­factory feed when the beans are fed threshed, or as hay, or when ground as meal. Soy-liean hay. to be most satisfactory, should be cut early enough to avoid the popping out of the seeds. The leaves nnd the seed hoth win be readily eaten when handled In this manner. •

In tho Southern states peanuts are quite extensively grown and make a good feed when use<I ns n grazing crop or fmi In the form of meal. Velvet beans are largely raised In this sec­tion of the country, nnd It Is recom-mcndeil that tbey be left In the field anil crazed.

Dwarf Essex rnp.^ and oats can also lie used .successfully in the South as a f.iraixe crop. Either can be .seeded fr.rn the last of August to the last of s.ptemher. Cottonseed meal can be very successfully iised In connection v.'.xh i-i>rn :is a hardening feed for a p-ri.i.i not to exceed thirty'days.

Have you ever had any difflculty with yonr sheer chiffon and georgette sleeves drawing and wearing Into holes across th^,upper forearms? Or perhaps you, have'been lafraldto risk the danger of their doltig this very thing, apd for thai; reason have de­nied yourself the pleasure and satis­faction of putting transparent sleeves In your silk and serge" frocks. In either event, yo'u •will be glad to know of a simple Uttle device which Is a sure proof against this particular: form'.' of annoyance and waste. ;

' The beauty of a transparent-sleeve Is the lovely soft line It'gIVM the ehonlder of a blouse, and so' Its whole object would be entirely refuted were any bulky sort of lining made for I t

.,Bnt,...a8 In most ^-cases. It absolutely refuses to stand-the.«trata of-wenr'tm-!aided; something must ba-done,to re-enfbrce I t This -.can !.be done. very easily,, andv alino3tJ-ln»islbiy,r •Jliyi'Cnt-'

-tlng a shleld-illte 8hape>fr6m some-soft and pllnble material such -as Inde­structible chiffon or china silk, and fastening It Into the armhole under the sleeve and across the upper part of the arm. Then the transparent m a terial of the sleeve la tacked lightly to the lower edges of this piece, thus re­moving hll strain from the shoulder to the middle of .the forearm. As this Is the very area In which the greatest strain Is applied, the use of thts little device -will- ensure just about twice as long a period of wear for the sleevea

-thus safeguarded; And the shield pro­tection need not be at all disfiguring or conspicuous If It Is made from flne enongh material o f / J u s t the right shade, and set in carefully without drawing or pulling.,. ,

This Is Important The present and tuture cost of combating this' In8,ect can be greatly reduced by cutting: and burning: worthless brush, hollow trees, etc. X few trees w-eli cared for are more valuable- to, the property ownec and the community than a large num­ber o t neglected trees. . '

.The nests ot the firown-tail moth, should be cut from the trees, careful­ly collected and burned In a stove or furnace.

Full Instructions as to best methods .of work against the moths may be ob­tained from the selectmen of Pepper­ell. or from -the State Forester. Room 408, State Hous'e. Boston, Mass.

Work done by contractors should be inspected and approved by the Local Superintendent before: payment for the same la made.

COZY, ARTISTIC LIVING ROOM

Sunshiny, Floor Covered With Neutral Cray Filler Carpet, Walls Blue,

Woodwork White.

One ot the most beautiful living rooms the writer has ever seen, ob­serves a correspondent was a bright, sunshiny one, with a floor covered with a neutral gray fille^ttirpet Thc wallS wete in plain old blue, the woodwork white. The dull brick flreplace, with the white overmantel, and the built-in book shelves, were quite noticeable fentures In thc room and decidedly helped the colonial furniture.

For there was a mahogany gateleg table In the center of the room, n large armchair and a wall chair with a rush s e a t

A huge wing armchair upholstered in rose and blue chintz was drawn up to the fireplace, and seemed to dom­inate the room.

The chintz was repeated in the side-drapes at the windows. And the beauty of it Is that a room like this is within the reach of almost anyone!
