Total enrollment in Jefferson county elegible to vote at the primaries during 1927 is 32,- 015 as compared with 24,769 in 1926 for 1926 primaries, showing an in crease of 7,246. The enrollment in 1926 shows the county to be 22,575 as follows: 4,- 872 Democrats, 17,670 Republicans and 33 Socialists. The city count shows 9,440, as follows: 2,628 Demo crats, 6,755 Republicans, and 5'. Socialists. The enrollment in 1925 showed thr county total to be 16,598, as follows 4,781 Democrats, 11,774 Republicans, and 43 Socialists. The city count shows 8,171, as follows: 2,347 Demo- crats, 5,745 Republicans, and 7Ji Socialists. The increase in the city was 1,269, and in the county it was 1,072. The Democrats gained 281 in the city and the Republicans 1,010. The Demo- crats gained 41 in the county and the Republicans gained 5,896. OUR NEW FORESTS. New York has 30,000,000 tree seed- lings ready for planting distribution, and most or all of these will be set out into permanent forests, this year. There was a day when New York white pine forests seemed inexhaust- ible; but they melted away like June snow in the face of the great Ameri- can market. Now, however, intelli- gent tax laws and a g-rowing realiza- tion of the need of forests for health, beauty, fuel, building materials, wa-. ter conservation, bring a replanting of the once deserted forest lands. Perhaps no crusade in the history of America business has been as rapid or as effective as that for re- forestation. The tendency is s« strong toward reforestation that an actual gain in forest acreage may bt brought about within the next decade. One thing can prevent this gain— preventable fires in the great-forested sections. Education for those whe will be taught, punishment for those who will not obey, will have to be extended until the. whole nation re- alizes that a burned forest is a crime. NEW ERA IN FARMING. A recent survey of 127 communities in the United States and Canada, shows a very apparent trend toward return to the farm of country-born folk drawn city-ward during the period of farm depression. There is also indicated a greater optimism than existed last year among farmers, and indications of ample credit facil- ities. Number of farm sales on a cash basis is about 50 per cent greater than a year ago. MOTOR VEHICLE FINES ARE $527,224. Fines for infractions of the motor vehicle law enriched the state treasury by $527,224 during 1926, according to Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, Charles A. Harnett. The aggregate of fines in 1925 was $496,569. The totals do not include fines for traffic law violations in New York city nor for violations of local traffic ordin- ances in other municipalities. GOVERNOR IS RIGHT. Watertown Standard: The Governor is against private office buildings near the Capitol. He is right. There is plenty of room elsewhere and the ground adjacent to the Capitol shiuld be kept for park purposes. D. V. Seeber Is Re-Elected President- Officers Make Their Reports. C. C. SMITH, WATERTOWN, GIVES TALK Congressman Thaddeus C. Sweet Secures An Appropriation For Bass Ponds At Cape Vincent. The annual meeting of the Cape Vincent Board of Trade was held at the Masonic building, corner of Broadway and Market streets, last- Thursday evening. The attendance was good, in the neighborhood of seventy-five members and guests be- ing present. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, showing conclusively, that the present Board of Trade will not, like former organizations, go out of business with the holding of the first annual banquet, but will , con- tinue to function and work every minute for the best interests of Cape Vincent and its inhabitants-. This statement was proved at the meeting by the fact that sixty of those present signed up for another year. With that number for a starter,.the mem- bership committee will probably have no trouble in inducing forty more tc join, thus making the membership an even hundred. The Eagle hopes they may do that and more. The routine business of the meet- ing was the reports of the secretary and treasurer and the election of of- ficers. The nominating committee mggested that the officers of the past year be retained. S. Kelsey Ains- worth, vice-president, declined to serve for another year, so Walter F. Blum was substituted. The officers for the year 1927 are: President, D. V. Seeber. Vice-President, W. F . Blum. Secretary, Charles Armstrong. •' Treasurer, F. G. Blum. Report of Secretary. Charles Armstrong, who served as secretary for the past year in a very efficient manner', gave the following concise and extremely interesting re- port of the activities of the Board for the past year: During the year 1925 there had been some plans of constructing a golf course here, and an option was .secured on a tract of land for thif purpose. At a meeting of some of our citizens who were interested in this project, held at the Citizens' Bank in December, it was decided to abandon the plan for the present a? there appeared to be no feasible method of financing it. It was then suggested that'we or- ganize a club or society to promote the social, commercial and business interests of our village. While some were skeptical about this, there was enough interest, shown to warrant calling another meeting for January 7, 1926. At this meeting, of which Thomas J. Brady was chairman and William J. Flynn secretary, it was de- cided to organize, and after some dis- cussion the Cape Vincent Board of Trade was the name selected for the organization. This was done, not- withstanding the hoodoo of our form- er Board of Trade which we determin- ed to overcome and have a Board that would be a credit to our village. Fourteen members signed up, and it was decided to have the dues $5.00 per year. The next meeting was appointed for January 13 at the American Legion rooms at which the present officers were elected for 1926 and 9 more members added to the roll. The next meeting was held at the Masonic building February 11. The by-laws were read and adopted at this meeting and the second Thurs- day of each month decided on for our regular meetings. Through the activ- ity of the membership committee we now had 85 members and within a few weeks had reached the 100 mark. The first work taken up was that of procuring better mail service be- tween here and Watertown. The Board succeeded in doing this, so we now have a pouch to all the way stations on each train instead of once a day as formerly. One hundred metal road signs were purchased, many of which have been placed in appropriate locations. Through the efforts of the Board, a resolution was passed at the village election appropriating $500 annually for band concerts. On February 18 the Board was represented at the annual banquet of the Watertown Chamber of Com- merce by the President and Secretary, at which time Frank Jewell Raymond, who was introduced as the Billy Sunday of business, gave a very able address. On February 24 the Board was represented by the Vice-President and Secretary at a meeting of the repre- sentatives of the Watertown, Clayton, and Alexandria Bay Chambers of Commerce at which the Thousand Is- lands Guests Association was formed. At our next meeting the action of uniting with the Association was ratified and it was decided to raise our quota of $500, and also $500 for booklets, The committee then started work on our booklet, and while this was new work for them, -they pro- duced a very creditable piece of work. This was made possible by the co-operation of all who were asked to help. ' Of these booklets 2,- 534 have been distributed—2,200 mailed in response to inquiries re- ceived, and 334 sent to Travel Bureaus and Automobile Clubs. By invitation a large delegation at- tended a meeting at Chaumont on April 12 and helped organize a Chamber of Comimerce there. At our April meeting the slogan \Boost Cape Vincent\ was adopted, and it was decided to hold a celebra- tion on July 5. This was very suc- cessfully carried out, and much credit is due the decorating committee in getting our residents to improve and decorate their homes and places of business. A tourist camp in James street was established and improved, also a rest room and- bureau of information on the corner of Broadway and Market street. Electric lights were installed on the ferry dock for convenience of boats landing there/ ! On October 28 a conference was held with Congressman Sweet at which time the situation in regard to completing the ponds for propo- gating bass was explained to him. Mr. Sweet was much interested in this matter and his efforts to secure an appropriation for the ponds has been successful, as will be seen by a letter received by John R. Kilborn from the Congressman and which is printed below. Plans have. been completed for having a boat make the tour of the Islands, including a stop at Ganan- oque, from here next season. This will fill a long felt want and will adel materially to our tourist business in the future. Treasurer's Report. Frank G. Blum, treasurer of the Board rendered a detailed report of the receipts and disbursements, of which the following is a summary: Receipts. Dues for the year $ 490.00 Balance 4th July fund 286.91 Sale flags and staffs 89.95 Donations for advertising .. 986.88 $1,853.74 Total disbursements 1,833.14-| Balance on hand '$ 20.60 Fish Hatchery Proposition. For some time past it has been the desire of John P. Snyder, superinten- dent of the local fish hatchery, and our people generally, to have the Government construct ponds for the propagation of black bass. A num- ber of years ago land was purchased for this purpose, but during the war nothing further was done. The mat- ter was brought to the attention of the Board of Trade, and it was ar- ranged that Congressman Thaddeus C. Sweet should come to the Cape, meet with the members of the Board and look the situation over in regard to the ponds with a view of securing an appropriation to continue the work. Mr. Sweet came to the Cape on October 28, interviewed the mem- bers of the Board and also investi- gated the matter with Superinten- dent Snyder. He was very much im- pressed with the work of the local hatchery, and promised to do all in his power to secure an appropriation for the ponds. That he has beer, successful is shown in the letter printed below, received by John R Kilborn Thursday afternoon fron Congressman Sweet: \My dear Mr. Kilborn :—Ever since my pleasant meeting with you and your associates of Cape Vincent, Clayton and Alexandria Bay, I have diligently followed up the matter of establishing the bass propagating ponds in connection with the Cape Vincent Federal Hatehery. \On arriving in Washington for the convening Congress I interviewed the Budget Commissioner and found that in order to have an item of this kind considered in this Session, it would have -been necessary to have the De- partment interested recommend it to the Budget Commission prior to Sep- tember 1. This being impossible, under the circumstances I personally interviewed the Commissioner of the Bureau of Fisheries and the Depart- ment of Commerce, both of whom were intensely interested in the sub- ject and offered every co-operation possible. When it was found that, the full appropriation could not be secured this year, the. Commissioner of Fisheries agreed with m.e in writing that in the event that their. item in the Appropriation Bill for additional departmental expenses was allowed in full, they would divert irom that fund five or six thousand dollars for the beginning of the work of pond construction, Since that time I have been working with the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee to the end that this full amount might be allowed, and just to-day have been assured by the. Chairman of the sub- committee of Appropriations handling Commerce Department matters that it would be allowed. I have com- municated this information to the Commissioner of Fisheries and he in- forms me that the plans for the con- struction work are already in the making so as to be ready to start the work as soon as weather con- ditions will permit and funds. are available, and that they will include in their next year's budget -request an item for the balance of appropria- tion necessary for acquiring addition- al lands and completing the con- struction work. \I am sure this will be gratifying news to you and all interested parties in the St. Lawrence Valey, and I as- sure you that it can be no more in- teresting to you than it is to me to participate in carrying this tyork through to completion. I shall be glad to keep closely in touch with you as the work progresses, And'if you have any suggestions to offer will be most happy to receive them.\ Smith's Address. Clarence C. Smith, of Watertown, secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce of that city and also secretary of the Thousand Islands Guests As- sociation, was the principal speaker of the evening. Mr. Smith is\ very gratified with the work done during the past year and sees no reason why the various Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce that are con- nected with the Guests Association should not accomplish -much more the coming year. Mr. Smith's talk to the local Board which was very interesting and well received by all present was on \Ad- vertising the Thousand Islands.\ He said in pax-t: Advertising is a very recent pro- fession. It is an outgrowth of the complexity of our modem industrial system. In the earlier days when our shoes were made by the village shoe- maker, our wagons in the local hand shop, our flour home ground at the cross roads gristmill, such advertis- ing as was done consisted mainly of informing our immediate neighbor- hood of services or products for sale. Within the last twenty years with cheap and easy transportation and greater purchasing power on the part of the public we have entered a new era. You have no doubt heard'it ex- pressed in the story of the man who pulls his chair on a rug from Phila- delphia before a table from Grand Rapids, picks up a spoon from Oneida, begins his breakfast on a grapefruit from Florida, and so oh through the meal. To-day national production competes in a national market and advertising is an absolute necessity if the market of the individual firm is to be maintained. In advertising as in most every- thing else, honesty is the best policy. And because so many of the most successful business houses are scrup- ulously honest in their advertising, the public is coming more and more to rely upon advertising. And there is a good psychology basis for my preference for the advertised pro- duct Perhaps after all the public subconsciously grasps some part of the truth about advertising. At the last census of manufactures (1923) the total receipts of all newspaper and periodicals for advertising was $793,893,469. Not all of this was spent by manufacturers but if we take that total so as to allow for bill- board and other advertising we find that it is about one and one quarter per cent of the value of products. If I \buy a nationally advertised fountain pen for $4 I know then that on the average for all products the manu- facturer paid five cents for advertis- ing it. But if I look at the figures for that census again I find that a very small group of large concerns, 5.2 per cent of the total number, pro- duced 66.4 per cent of the total value of products and did it with 57.1 per cent of the total numbers of workers. In other words, the large scale pro- duction from the big business which advertising built has more than paid for the advertising by the greater efficiency. And in the back of my iH. pttier t^-fiy 0,£awrence~Hawthorne^> I guess 'most anybuddy's cake An' cookies ain't so hard t' take When boys an' girls 're comin' in from plajfi ? ut when I'm lookin' f er a treat hat npthin' else could ever beat, I'll pick my Mother's eookies any day! My Gran'ma makes 'em awful good, An' lots o' times I wish I could Be at her house t' eat 'em while they're hot. Sometimes a neighbor-lady t too, Is lucky, an' brings us a few— But, gosh, our fam'ly always needs a lot! When Mother hasn't any more, Sometimes she buys some at the store, But every kind tastes jes' like all the rest You bet yer neck I like the cake An' cookies other people bake; But my own Mother always makes 'em best! mind somewhere there is a realization that I may rightly place greater faith in a product if the maker of it has enough faith in its good qualities to invest a few hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising hoping to build a business big enough to get it back through mass production. The public may not be able to prove, probably does not think it out, but nevertheless reaches the same con- clusion from experience and buys and incidentally takes its vacations: ac- cordingly. Advertising pays individual -busi- ness concerns. Now what about com- munities? I have taken the trouble to obtain a report from the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce on the result of the advertising- campaign they have been putting on for the past year for industrial expansion. In 1925 Atlanta had an Industrial Bureau actively seeking and pro- moting new industries and actually brought to the city 83 concerns with $4,500,000 in new payrolls. In 1926 Atlanta advertised extensively from February to October and in ten months brought in 136 new concerns employing 4,630 persons with pay- rolls of $7,309,250. Advertising there- fore may be said to have doubled the industrial growth of Atlanta in the first year. The same experience has been reported by other places, which have put on comprehensive programs, notably Seattle, Washington. So we find that advertising has the same value to the community that it does to the individual business corporation. Here is another fact that I wish you to consider carefully. A dbzsn boys with air rifles-might shoot all day and consume pounds of shot without killing a rabbit. A handful of the same shot all used at one time in a good shotgun by a skilled marks- man would kill a hear. Assuming then, that we have faith in the Thousand Islands as a vacation and summer resort, and we have or we would not be here to-night, is it not logical to conclude first that we must advertise to succeed and second that we must concentrate that advertising through some such organization as the Thousand Islands Guests Associa- tion instead of having each village and hamlet firing off the ammunition one shot at a time? The Guests Association was organ- ized in 1926 too late to have much latitude in the arrangement of its program. With a total appropria- tion of less than $8,000 we used four advertisements in the Saturday Eve- ning Post, six in the New York Times and eleven in other news- papers.' Up to the middle of August we have received 1,883 replies by mail. This year we expect to have in the association Kingston, Gananoque and Ogdensburg, in addition to the vil- lages which have been in from the beginning, and the city of Water- town. We may reasonably hope to have a budget of nearly $10,000. My personal suggestions for next year's program, in addition to such periodical advertising as we may find it expedient to do, are as fol- lows: 1 Make a systematic effort to get as many live interest news stories into the daily papers throughout the country as possible. This includes the forwarding of well-prepared copy, photographs, and perhaps mats. 2 Put up at least four large paint boards on the main line, two between Albany and Utica and two between Buffalo and Syracuse. 3 Make a co-operative agreement with the Adirondack Resorts Associa- tion to exchange some space in booklets or ' other circular advertis- ing, at least a notice where additional literature of the other resort may be obtained and the fact that both are on the same logical North Country tour. 4 Further co-operate with that as- sociation by maintaining jointly an information bureau at Niagara Falls and perhaps another at some other point. 5 Reduce the number of booklets printed to the number required for answering inquiries and include in them a page on each village of the association with lists of hotels, etc. 6 In place of the more expensive booklets get out a much larger edi- tion of a map of New York state with a large scale section of North- ern New York on which all points 'of historic and scenic interest are marked in red ink. On the back of the map print pictures of the Thou- sand Islands with descriptive matter. Broadcast these maps ,to all informa- tion bureaus, and the leading hotels. 7 This last suggestion I consider the most important of all. After a general discussion of the whole pro- gram by the directors of the, organi- zation to get a cross section of opin- ions, give to some one person the en- tire authority to plan and execute the entire campaign for one year and let him act without any further direction from the board. The board should retain authority to pass oh legislation desired and other matters except the advertising campaign. Mr. Smith brought his remarks to a close by painting a glowing picture of the future of the Thousand Is- lands region, with all the towns on both sides of the St. Lawrence unit- ing to bring the beauties of the river and the islands t o the attention of the tourists of the country. He also made reference to the proposed brjdge across the St. Lawrence River> and stated that it would be the beginning of a great boom for the islands. The boat lines on the river came in for a little consideration from Mr. Smith, who said that instead of the boatmen cutting each others throats, they should get together and consolidate their lines and run regular advertised trips. At the close of the meeting light refreshments were served. for Open When Talking. Good Hardware: Boss—Is everything shut up the night? Clerk—Yes, sir, everything except my mouth. hrwrimU«i»<«»>tat,ul«imtiil»»rHli-F«>illt;m( .BIBLE THOUGHT AND PRAYER If parents will haee Ihelr children memo. tlze a Bible selection each tpeek. it will prove a priceless heritage to them in after yean.

The annual parish meeting of St. John's took place in the Grange hall, on Tuesday evening, January 11. Weather conditions were ideal, and the largest number for many years were present at the meeting. The business part was preceded by a very pleasing covered dish supper, spon- sored and donated by the ladies of the parish, ice cream being furnished by C. T. Sacket, and cigars for the gentlemen by W. D. Laird. Sup- per began at 6:30, and continued un- til 7:30. The business meeting was then called to order by the rector, with W. F. Clark acting as secre- tary. After the reading of the minutes of the previous .meeting, the chair ruled that the election would be the first in order. Three vacancies on the regular vestry and six on the auxiliary were voted upon. Messrs J. D. Powell, H. J. Robbins and E. L. Barker were elected for the next 3 years on the regular vestry, and Messrs Napoleon Love, Garnet Rogers, James DeJourdan, Mrs. De- Valin, Mrs. L. L. Peo, and Mrs. N. W. Hinckley were elected to serve on the auxiliary vestry for the next 3 years. J. D. Powell was elected parish treasurer for 1927 and Everett Rob- bins assistant for the same period. Following the election came the re ports of the different organizations of St. John's as follows: Rector's re- port of the parish; Mrs. Home for the Women's Guild, Mrs. Jones for the Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. Dezen- gremel for the Church School Service League, Mrs. Grant's report of the Girls' Friendly and candidates class; Mrs. Dezengremel's report of the i choir fund; Miss Alice VanScnaick's report of the Sunday school. The high spots of these reports showed that the past°year has bee* one of varied and splendid activity, and that a balance in favor of each society was on the right side of the ledger at the close of the year. The question of parish self-support and independence then came in for discussion. Last year the parish voted to go on a self-supporting: basis for one year to see if such a course was practicable. The parish treas- urer's report showed that the plan was a success, but that to make it absolutely safe and irrevocable, it was the judgement of the meeting that another year's trial\ would be We have it in Bulk and Fancy Boxes-all leading makes Cigars, Tobacco, Cigarettes Also Big Stock of Pipes TRY SOc Pound e^t/i^gsC-~ needed to insure the safety of the change. Continued co-operation and loyalty on the part of every member would make this victory complete, and itwas the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that 1928 will see St. John's start out on an absolutely self-sup- porting basis. When this is done, St. John's will then be in a position to call its own rector when a vacancy occurs, and also have fuller repre- sentation at the Diocesan Convention. St. John's is one of the oldest Mis- sions in the diocese of Central New York, having been organized in 1841, or 86 years ago. During all those years, it has been a dependant upon the Diocesan Mission Fund for part of its support. With the year 1928, however, it is expected that the parish will be able to carry its ,own responsibilities. J. D. Powell was elected at this meeting to act as lay delegate to the coming Diocesan Convention, which will be held in May. W. F. Bailey was elected alternate. The next great step for St. Jonh's to launch out upon will be the erec- tion of a-parish hall. A fund is al- ready well started on its way for that purpose. After a rising vote of thanks was given to all who made this _ parish meeting so enjoyable, a motion to adjourn was adopted and the meeting closed. William E. Potter Dies at Locke, N.Y. —o— ' Mrs. George A. Potter received a telegram Tuesday evening announc- ing the death of Dr. Potter's only brother, William E. Potter, at Locke, N. Y. Dr. Potter was at Locke when the end came, he having gone there on Monday. Mr. Potter, who had been in pool: health for a long time, was born in LaFargeville 59 years ago. He was educated in the school at that place. For a number of years he was con- nected with the customs office at Thousand Island Park. He married Miss Florence Barber, of Boonville, and for several years was engaged i n the mercantile business in that vil- lage, later removing to Locke. He was a man of sterling character and was well liked by all who knew him. Besides his widow, he is survived by one daughter, Viola Jane, a brother, Dr. George A. Potter, of Cape Vincent, and a sister, Mrs. A. •F. Wright, of Rochester. The remains will be brought to Boonville, where the funeral services will be held and interment made.

The basic net pool price upon which payment for December milk will be made by the Dairymen's League Co- operative Association, Inc., to its members is $2.80 per 100 pounds for 3.5 milk, it was recently announced by President G. W. Slocum. This price surpasses all previous returns by the League to its members since adoption of the pooling plan in 1921, with the exception of the month of December i922. The. current price is eight cents higher than the No- vember net price, which in itself was a record breaker with the lone ex- ception of December 1922. Compar- ing the December 1926 price with prices of other years last month's figure ranges from 17 to 55 cents higher, says the announcement. During the last three months the Dairymen's League Co-operative As- sociation has increased the price re- turned to its members 22 cents per! 100 pounds, or nearly one half cent a quart, without any increase in the Class 1 selling price or any raise in the cost of milk to the consuming public. This has been accomplished by selling a greater portion of the total amount of milk handled in the Class 1 market. Increased efficiency\ in the operation of the Association was also a factor. ceormsin - lie COURT APPELLATE DIVISION DENIES MOTION FOR REARGUMENT OF THE CASE. ; —O— E. W. Coon, wealthy cheese manu- facturer and wholesaleer, of Gape Vincent and Philadelphia, Pa., has again been successful in his litigation with the National Fire Insurance company, of Hartford, Conn., and a number of other fire insurance com- panies for the recovery of losses sus- tained in the spring of 1922 when his storage plant was destroyed by fire. The appellate division, fourth de- partment had denied the motion of the defendant for reargumsnt of the case before that body or for leave to appeal to the court of appeals. It is expected that application to appeal to the latter tribunal will now be made directly to the court of appeals by the defendant. Ajudgement in favor of the plain- tiff in the sum of more than $86,000 was handed up last year by Justice Irving R. Devendorf. s Attorneys Ainsworth, Sullivan, Wheat & Archibald, of Albany, on December 10, 1926, moved before the appellate division for permission to re-argue the appeal, or in event of refusal to do so, to be allowed to take the issue to the court of ap- peals. The first request is now de- nied with $10 costs and the second also denied. The motion was op- posed by Attorney Delos M. Cosgrove, of the firm of Cobb, Cosgrove, Hartei & Wright, of Watertown, represent- ing Mr. Coon. Already Booked.
