AYER To thc Kdltor:
The feverish, world-wide unrest caused by the war is aKRra\-ated by local conditions in different localities of the Paclflc Xorthwest. Here In a distant suburb ot Spokane, for Instance, property owners are much Interested In the consumatlon ot a street RradlnR scheme now In proce.ss ot execution atter nearly two years of wr.inKllnK. It Involves practically thc whole of the Ilttle city. Streets are .belns graded, sldcivalksjind. cement beln^ constructed over a'scope ot territory of much Rreater extent than that now occupied by the rcsl-dtmce portion. Some ot tho-streets In tho district aro traveled only by dogrs and cats. As tho expense Is borne by thoso owning tho abutting property itnd there is Ilttle reason to expect a greatly Incrctiscd population In tho near future, It Is up' to the owners of this outside property to decide whether the lots when Improved will bo worth their cost. Some, no doubt, will forfeit them In Conscijuenco of declining to pay thc cost ot Improvements,
This tendency to anticipate future growth of towns by construction ot expensive streets nnd sidewalks Is charactcrlstl.c of the ambitious towns all over the Paclflc coast. To tho prospective purchaser, thcy seem a visible

Miss Edith M L.iwrcnce. from fteat-tle. Wash.. Is spending the summer v.ith friends and relatives In this vlcln-
to carry them for a couple ot weeks against a time, such as the present, when the scarcity of labor might mean losing a crop. Others seem to bavo thought that some benevolent person was supporting a large number ot idle boys, ready to be supplied at a moment's notice.
The present situation should point a moral for another year. The committee is very sorry that it cannot do much now- to decrease the shortage—though two boys have recently been supplied —but in justice to itselt it takes the liberty ot pointing out that It could have done a good deal it its w.arnings
Iran been-heeded—in time.—T4vere are nineteen Boston boys working in Groton now, but there ought to be tw-ice that number. And since our lab-Crs this summer will not miraculously end the food problem, which Is with us.for several years yet, let us learn a lesson another time trom our timidity this year.
In some towns it has been found useful to establish exchanges for surplus products, so that a person with more beans, say. than she could can. hut with too little spinach, could take her beans to the exchange Jind get spinach" frorri "sonaebne wlfo^^st'tl produced a surplus ot spinach. As yet such an exchange does not seem necessary in Groton. but in order to effect individual exchanges, all persons who have more than they want of any fruit or vegetable, and who would like toex-chango it for something which they lack, are requested to give their names to -Mrs. Frank Torrey. If it should later prove advisable, the committee is prepared to establish a regular exchange office. There must be as little waste as jiossible this year. Usually Groton throws away each tall enough to keep many families fed. If you have a surplus this year and cjin-t sell it or give it away, don-t throw it away until you have communicated with .Mrs. Torrey.

In 1860 the flrst Groton band was disorganized bv the war and many of Its memliers vplunteeredV reflecting credit by their war records on the band and town. The Spanish American war took Howard B. Souther, a bandman. We no\v record wUh pride that -William Folkins and Raymond Handfleld of the Beginner's band have enlisted In Co. B, l.st corps Cadets and last week were called to the colors' and. that Richard Lawrence has enlisted In the naval - reserve. We shall lose temporarily three good men, but by tbelr enlistment the traditions ot the old band will have been maintained.

of this c.untry has there lioen such a difiplay of Hags on buildings, both pulilic and private as nr.w. It seemed to me as I think it must to others, that .a llag hung oithor inside or outside of .a church building was a new custom I think thcrpfiir that the following Item which I found in tho town records of Groton will he ot interest to the readers of this paper;
•-.May I'V It'il i. The town agreed to givo for a sexton to swepe the meeting houso. and put out a flag and do alt the work of n sexton twenty shillings -•
This flag was displ.iyoil on the second meoting houso which stood 7>n or near tho spot wlioro now is the i!haplln school liuilding. This moeting house was built soon after tho early settlors returnetl to Groton from Concord. .Mass.. where they took refuge after the burning of the town by Indians in 1G75,'returning to Groton in IfiSO. -•_ j :hls .flag of. cauxsbL was t h e llag of. Great Britain, which has again been unfurled In some ot our places of worship this year. 225 years atter this entry was iTiade in the town records ot Groton. Georglanna A, Boutwell.
band. It Is no more than tair that those whos,e money has gone into the band's treasury should know how tho money has been spent. An Itemized account ot receipts and expenditures tollows: Received trom honorary members 5375.50, from moving pictures and dances J56.74. Total $432.24. Expended; For uniforms and caps $224.-50. printing and sending litreatuie soliciting honorary members $22..25, instruction $90.00. expenses attendant to changing to iow pitch $39.28, new music $20.35. auto hire $14.50. Tot.ai $410.'8S. Balance on, hand at the be-ginning of the season $21.36.
The rnost expensive item was the uniforms and caps. These, however, have long beon needed and will last for years. Xext comes the item tor an Instructnr. - Ninety dollars was paid to t.'. H. Barrows for service which included 72 rehearsals, 36 ot the Beginner's band and the same number of the old band.
The changing of tho instruments to low pitch was oiuite expensive. It necessitated having extra tubing fitted to the brass instruments and a new. clarinet being bought for Mr. Blood. The value of this change to the standard pitch can hardly be explained to the layman. Low pitch Is e.xsier to play in than high and being less shrill and strident is more pleasing to listen to. The main reason tor the change, however, was in order to got Into line with other bands .and musical organizations. Low Tsltcb isTprsctTc.Mly tmtvBT.'Jal Irr this part ot the country and had tho Groton band staid in high, the new instruments which the beginners will purchase from time to time would be almost useless outside of Groton. Most all pianos, too. are low pitch, so that those playing instrumonts suited to orchestra or piano accompaniment will be better otf with the low pitch instruments.
We wish to thank a.crain those who made possible these changes.
The concert tbis week will be the last one to be given from the present handstand. This stand was built in 1,S82 and has given good sorvice in the Intervening thirf.v-Ilve years. It has now hoen given tn thc Farmers' club and will by them be repaired and moved to Hazel grove. Work will be commenced on the bandstand early next week.

"Under common-sense management fall Utters are'profitable. The earlier the litters come, the cheaper their g r o ^ b before pasturage ceases but Utters diopped as late aa the middle of October will sUll have good opportunity to get ready to t.ake care .of-themselTts before hard winter Bets In. Breeding until near ths close of June Is therefore possible.
"Kven if tbe sow be only five or six months old, sh3 will contribute more towards food production and
Srofit this year If what she eats Is Irected to supporting the forthcom

That "Deed Man's Chest.'' The rendering- of .the first line Of
Stevenson's immortal song as 'Tifteen men ori a dead man's chest" spoils the significance ot .the phrase, -writes a correspondent .License is permitted to poets, but no fifteen men could ever -flnd-room nn the chest ot any man. dead or alive, unless they were Lilliputians on the top of a GulUver. The actual phrase Is "the Dead Man's Chest" which la the niime of one ot the 'Virgin islands, lying to the east ot Porto Rico. It Is said that when Columbus discovered the group he named them after S t Ursula and some of her mythical virgins, but the EngUsh buccaneers rechristened them in homeUer terms, such as "Dutchman's Cap," "Broken Jerusalem," "Bum Island" and "The Dead;Man'« Chest" Kings-ley refers to the matter In the first volume ot "At Last" and Stevenson acknowledged, in his account ot "Treasure Island," that he had litted the phrase from the 61der novelist's pages. —Manchester auardlan.
tissues are actually being stored upon the body to be used in the production ot niilk before the cow is in shape to digest and assimilate a full ration. It is just as serious to crowd the appetite during the first month after calving as to neglect to lay on this supply of nutrients. The cow should be kept htm-gry.
A week before calvhig reduce the grain to four or five pounds, feeding mostly bran and oats. On the day ot calving a pound and a halt of epsog* sa l t lukewarm water and good hay are enough tor a well conditioned cow, although two quatts of bran mash may be useful. Begin the next day feeding lightly, and after tour or flre days introduce a grain mixture gradually. Increase this gradually about one-fourth pound per day. Do not expect a cow to handle all the feed called for. by her yield ot milk. If ahe has been properly conditioned and is coming to a good
-flow from oue^montfa-to-slx-weeks is early enough to get her on full f e e ^ For from three to six months ahe should gradually lose the flesh stored up.
