Notice of Road Meeting NAMING A TOWN. Christmas is Near Concord Fifty The name of Concord, N. H., was given to the town after a controversy which lasted fifty years. In 1725 the laud now within its bounds was grant ed to the colonists under the name of Peacock by the colony of Massachu setts: This claim was disputed by the colony of New Hampshire, which two years later granted this same land to the township of Bow. 1733 Massachu setts incorporated Peacock Into a township named Rumford, and for more than forty years a fierce legal controversy was carried on. No agree ment could be reached, and the mat ter was taken to the authorities in England, but even then there was no satisfactory nor permanent settlement. In the .face of an evident leaning toward the claims of Bow, both In England and in America, the little band of colonists "in Rumford fought on valiantly, and in 1765 an act of incorporation was granted to the in habitants of Rumford. This was still highly unsatisfactory because it only made them a parish in the town of Bow. The controversy continued until 1774, when it was finally settled and an independent town was formed under the name of Concord. It was due to the devotion of the little band of settlers to their cause and the unity which existed among them that the independent incorporation of the town was -finally obtained, and it was emi nently fitting that the concord which existed between them during the strug gle- of nearly fifty years should be memorialized in their town’s name.— Ladies’ Home Journal.

Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen Escaped a Stinging. A man on his first trip into the wilds and marshes of an unknoyrn country with the United States drainage engi neers Was struck by a unique method they .have to escape from the attack of wasps and hornets. The country .traversed’ is generally covered with thick undergrowth, and a path has to be, cut through this all along the line. So when a big -wasp nest is reached .there is very little warning, some times the axmen cutting into a big one with their machetes. The-person relating this experience was some sixty feet behind the ax men with the instrument when all at once the two axmen dropped in their tracks as if they had been struck by, a thunderbolt The man behind apd the two chainmen did likewise. While they were lying prone on the grass and wet marsh thby heard what .sounded like bullets zooing over their heads. One after the other they came with angry zjps. When things had- quieted down a bit work was con tinued, and the new man found that to escape from wasps or hornets the thing to do was to drop instanter. The insects seem to be so mad that they, fly in straight lines along a level and do not have time to hunt around for you. - It is said that hornets are not so prone to follow this rule as wasps, but -the wasps never vary. Men have been stung to death by hornets, and horses and mules likewise.—Chicago Record-Herald.

The waters of Cape Horn have never been unvisited by storms for more than a week or two at a stretch within the memory of’ man. Standing on the outposts of the world. Cape Horn is the meeting place of ocean currents of very different temperature, from the icy cold waters of the Antarctic drift •to the war.nth of the Brazilian and Peruvian return currents. The pre vailing winds are from the northwest and west, and these, coming from the warm regions of the Pacific, condense into fogs, which the sailors call “Cape Horn blankets” and which are the •forerunners of storms. The extremely low level to which the glaciers of Tierra del Fuego descend, the per petual congelation of the subsoil, the ¡meeting of conflicting .winds at very different temperatures, are all direct or indirect causes combining to make this the most constantly stormy re gion of the world.

A chewer, according' to dietetic experts, is one who chews all things so long as they have any- -taste left in them. -Gladstone, we are told, used to take thirty-two bites to every mouthful of food. The modern school of chewers would regard this as dangerously rapid eating. “I have tried chewing conscientiously,” writes M t . Eustace Miles. "A banana has cost 800 bites, a small mouthful of bread and cheese 240 bites, a greedy mouthful of biscuit (while I was walk ing on a Yorkshire moor) over 1,000 bites. It still seemed to taste about as .much as at first, but I knew that taste by then, so I swallowed.”—London ¡Chronicle. - V.

On the bottom of Gull lake, in Michigan, lies a small fortune in wal nut logs, which were once considered of so little value that they were towed out into deep water and sunk. As the lake ¡is 300 feet deep in places the logs are likely -to remain a dead loss. The logs are really the butt ends of fine walnut trees which were cut down years ago. Later the stumps were pull ed out, hauled into the lake and let go. She Had Money. “And why.” she asked, “do you think the world is better now that it was twenty-five years ago?” “Because you were not in it then,” he replied. “Ah, I am afraid you wish to flatter me. I am nearly twenty-eight.” ■ “Is it possible? Well, in a way* I’m glad of it” “Why?” “You see, I’m thirty-seven, and I don’t believe that, any man ought to be more than eight or nine years older than his wife.” “Oh. Horace! How romantic you are! I wonder if any other man ever adopted such a lovely way to let a girl know that he cared for her.”—Chi cago Record-Herald. A Record In Fletcherizing.

A horticulturist, George Snively, liv- I tag at Sandy Grove, near Harrisburg, ' W. Va.. is said to have succeeded in grafting a tomato stalk on a potato • vine and having the plant reproduce itself, a feat that has never before been accomplished. The facts may be as reported in this case, but they sound decidedly fishy, and it would take ocu lar proof to convince tBe average man that,the tubers.from the potato vine on which this tomato stalk had been grafted would ever produce stalks that .would: bear tomatoes or that the seed from „a tomato produced on the insert ed tomato vine would ever develop a root system that would produce a mur phy. If a potato .blossom were cross Q fertilized with pollen from a tomato g blossom a plant might be developed which would produce both tomatoes Q and tubers, but the chances seem dead Q against its ever being accomplished by . a process of top grafting.
