S. STATION JANITOR Mr. Edward J. Cavanaugh of Bombay, N.Y, has been nomina- ted by Mr, J. F. Lacombe; Cus- todian-of the local U. S. In- spection station as emergency temporary employee to fill the position of janitor.. This position which has been open to a permanent Civil Ser- vice appointment for several months has been the dream bon- anza of several local candidates, three of whose applications have received special attention by the Civil Service Commission at Washington. Mr. Cavanaugh will commence his duties .Mon- day, September 17th. LOCAL PEOPLE HEAR SHOTS OF MURDERER R, Dr VROOMAN, dairyman with 152 acres on the Paines Hollow- Herkimer road, says; \We have hai a telephone for 30 years or more and feel that it's-been worth every cent it has cost. Mott of the eggs, broilers and berries are sold right at the farm by stepping to the telephone and calling up our Her- kimer customers. Just last week two cows freshened. I called an East Herkimer butcher and in less than an hour he was here, took the calves and I had the money. Without the telephone I would have had to drive eight miles to sell them, tak- ing a chance on finding the butcher at home. • E, A. NICHOLS, dairy and potato farmer with 185 acres near Colliers, sold at least 50 per cent of his po- tato crop last year by telephone to Oneonta grocers and wholesalers. Occasionally he sells veal calves by the same method to local butchers. Sometimes, by telephone he sells cows just freshened and saves him- self a lot of time and trouble run-* rung around the country hunting up a buyer. ALBERT E. SMITH, well known dairyman at Worcester, sells his milk retail in Worcester. Often customers telephone Hot extra de- liveries of milk during the day thereby adding to Mr. Smith's revenue. In emergencies his tele- phone helps out, too. One time the milk cooling apparatus broke down. A call to the Oneonta re- frigerator dealer brought a service man to the farm in a short time to repair the cooler which is an important piece of machinery on a dairy farm. THESE CASES show why so many farmer* include the telephone in the list of their necessary tools. Give it a job to do, and it will do it well. Helping out with the marketing, ordering supplies, getting needed information, keeping the family in touch with neighbors and friends, lending a protecting hand in case of emergencies—these are some bf the things that a,telephone on the farm will do for you. We'd be glad to tell you how little it will cost to have a telephone on your farm if you will call at the Telephone Business Office the next time you pass our way. NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY DRIVE FOR SCOUT FUNDS ON TODAY AND TOMORROW The annual Boy Scout drive, for funds for the Adirondack Council will start today and con- tinue through Friday when local solicitors will make a house to house canvass.

MacDonald will cover the West side. Fort Covington has one of the finest troops in the Council; for several reasons, foremost among them that local residents have always heartily endorsed the scout movement and given generously toward its support. In Port Chester, New York, where three local people are en- gaged i n school teaching, a tragic murder and suicide of two school teacher swee t- hearts blazed the headlines of the daily newspapers last week. Miss Florence Leeming o f North Troy, the murdered vic- tim, had married another man, after keeping company with Charles McGuire for six year?, her murderer, who after shoot- ing her, committed suicide.

Peepsea fish mada amazing pyro- technic displays as they hit the ilia- minate4 quartz •windows or the sides of the steel ball. Dr. Beebe was amazed at the size of the fish he saw at such depths. Some of them were six feet long. Hitherto the deepsea flsh ob- served have been minute, sometimes almost microscopic. The water at this depth was inky black. Starting froifc ft clear sunny surface, the water had gradually dark- ened, but even at 1,900 feet it was still appreciably light Beyon4 that it was uniformly the blaekftess of night/ The telephone conversations' from the eerie depths were remarkable for their clarity.

McGrath Americans no longer will be going to Canada to imbibe good Canadian goods or at least they will hesitate a long time before going over the line to pa* tronize blind pigs, unlicensed places which did a flourishing business during the dry days on this side, for since August 1st, patrons of these Canadian joints are locked up, obliged to furnish bail and later fined $100, when the places are raided and every- body on the premises is taken into custody. The Quebec authorities have been pretty busy lately raiding these illegal places at Trout Riv- er, Chateaugay and near Moo- ers. In Huntingdon, 11 places were raided. At Trout River, four Americans were arrested j in a raid and one, a woman, had to spend a night in jail before she could post bail. In the old days, dozens of blind pigs and beer farms were allowed to operate almost openly along the border and they were filled with thirsty American who at times of raids were told to leave the place, and only t h. e proprietor was arrested. Summed up, the whole thing is just good business, according to popular belief. Since the re ENTHUSIASM GREAT Dj BUSINESS COURSE Everyone concerned seems to be very much enthused over the new commercial course whieh has been added to the curricu- lum of the high school this year. In typewriting alone, there are 24 students, necessitating their division into three classes \ of eight students. None of the classes are more advanced than the others. Seven of the grad- uates of '34 have returned to school to take up the new course They are: George McKenna Wayne Merrick, Francis Hence, Gerald Laporte, Henry MeCabe, Mary A. Lacombe and Evelyn Chatland. The purchase of three new typewriters and chairs and -tables for the typwriters was authorized at a meeting of the Board «f Education held on Thursday, Two of the machines purchased were Underwoods and the other an L. C. Smith./ -Five Woodstocks were bought a couple of weeks ago bringing the total number of typewriters purchased this year to oight which is believed sufficient to conduct the classes. Necessary alterations have been made to a classroom on the third floor which has not been used for years and it is in these quarters that the typing cess- es will be conducted. It was further decided to enlarge the girls' cloakroom en the second floor by moving the partition in the hall forward to within .one and one-half feet of the study hall door, making the dimens- ions about 12 x 25 feet. This new room will be used for class- Reading Fun In Store For Boys Here's important news for the boys of America. THE AMERI- CAN B 0 Y- YOUTH'S COM- PANION, the nation's quality maga'zine for boys, has been re- duced from $2.00 a year to $1.00 The three-year rate, formerly peal of prohibition on thia side, I §3.50, has been reduced to $2.00. the volume of business done by these unlicensed places is not lar'ge enough for their existence to be tolerated. At regular in tervals, they used to be raided \For a long time we have been seeking a way to reduce the cost of THE AMERICAN BOY.to readers/' states Griffith Ellis, editor. \Recently we have ef- and fines collected in lieu of the j fected savings that mako t h e costs of licenses. Now, also, the licensed taverns and commiss* ion stores are having a hard time to make both ends meet since things changed over here, and of course, their business has to be protected, if they are io keep eoing. At any rate this is a sample of the new deal in Canada, and Canada is noteworthy for its law enforcement. BIDS ASKED FOR JOB AT INSPECTION STA. Bids for furnishing all labor cut possible, and we think boys will agree that the new price is bi£' news on the reading front. We hope boys will help us to spread the good news by telling their friends.\ Along with the cut in cost, the magazine's publishers are plan- ning a magazine that will con- tinue to set the pace in fiction, articles and departments. The favorite characters of millions of boys will parade through THE AMERICAN BOY in new stories.
