' Rome—^Official announcement is made here that King Victor Emman­uel had declined to accept the resigna­tion of Premier Salandra. The Salan-dra cabinet is to be retained without change. ^Although it was made known un­

officially tffat Signor Salandra would remain at the head of the government, Ujiis announcement was received with gjreat demonstrations of rejoicing and manifestations in favor of war,

; When the soldiers of the barracks aj; Castro Pretoria learned that OPre-

Sier Saiandra was to remain in power ey began, an enthusiastic demonstra­

tion in favor of war and went to their commander, Colonel Baistrocchi. The cMoned said .he would, not yei give expression to his feelings, but hoped to be able to address them in a few days in the way that he- would like toj do.

uThe excitement at Milan subsided oh receipt of the neWs of Premier SalaBr dra's retention. The. general strike there' passed off "Without serious inci-, d«nt, although there was a demon-' •St ration in favor of war on the part of) a crowd estimated a t 40,000. Simi­lar demonstrations oeeurred at Flor­ence,' Naples, Messina, Bologne, Pa­lermo and Catania.

The trend of events is considered most significant, particularly in view of I th efaet that clashes between Ital- ; iap. and Austrian troops are reported, toi be ocouring on the frontier. The Austrians, according to* one report, hafe attempted to oross the boundary at,one point, but were repulsed by the Italians, .who took one prisoner.

This oirder removing all quarantine from t!He counties of St. Lawrence, Jefferson .and Lewis. This does not" imply that all danger in this section has passed. Careful watch should be kept for any symptoms of the disease. Any suSpected cases §hould be report­ed at once to the nearest veterinarian or to the Farm Bureau Manager' at Canton. - <•

Power Plant Demonstration.

T ie (international Harvester Co. last Friday gave a power plowing demdn-tetration on the A. D. 'Hutchinson farm on the Black Lake road a mile' south of nOgdensburg." The demonstration attracted many fanners from that-sec­tion! as it was the first time that a plowing tractor has been used for plowing in this section.

The company used a Mogul tractor Weighing approximately 6,000 pounds and' drawing twd gang plows and was operated with kerosene power.

It' is expected that the use of tract­ors ' will shortly come into common use toy the farmers of ISt. Lawrence •bounty. Already there are a number of ijhem on farms in the vicinity of Goiiverneur and Macomb.

The water in the St. Lawrence this spring is very low, compared to other years and there is no chance of its rising very materially.

'Boatmen are experiencing* much trouble in getting thPir 'boats in and out ot their "boat nouses, espeehiHy those who own fishing boats -and- hauL|

.them into the iipuses. Quite a few jboat house -which have had water nearly up to their floors in former years, are now away out of water and the docks are altogether too high for comfort in getting in or out of boats. . , One or two parties who have every year hauled their^ boats into shallow water, are this year experiencing trou­ble, in getting their craft into deeper water. Shoals which ordinarily are good spots for fishing during the sum­mer, are now showing their rocks above water, and boats are not able to go where they have heretofore been

i,able_ to travel.

The town board held a meeting on Wednesday at which quite a good lot of business was* done. The question of building sidewalks on the ap­proaches to the bridge at Massena Springs was discussed and a resolu­tion was adopted authorizing their construction at once. The number of feet of walk that the town will have to make has not yet been determined, but it will probably be from the 'bridge.to the Ba'bcock store on the east and from the bridge to Hatfield street on the west at the north end and there will be a short stretch on each side at the south end of the bridge.

Franklin Derosia, who was appoint­ed temporary town clerk to succeed the late Ralph Andrews, tendered his resignation and F. A. Hough was ap­pointed to take his place. Mr! Hough will have his office at the town hall.

The superintendent of highways was instructed to serve a notice on the St. Lawrence River t Power Com­pany warning them -against doing any damage to the Massena (Center bridge while engaged in the work of dredging the river at th"at -place.

(Resolutions of respect were adopted upon the death of the late town clerk, Ralph Andrews.

'The matter of the EarJ Creek bridge was taken up. One of--the abutments of the -bridge collapsed, as* told in this paper a few weeks ago, and the bridge has been closed -since. Tjra matter was laid on the table and the "board adjourned until Wednesday of this week in order to ascertain the extent of the damage and wha |4s needed in the work of repairing-the structure. In this connection County {Superinten­dent of Highways Joseph Howard-came to Massena on Thursday an& went down with the town officials to look over the bridge. He stated that he would communicate with the state department of highways and have a bridge expert sent to Massena for the purpose of - -giving aay-^lwfo^wiatioTi and assistance to the hoard in the plans for the rebuilding of the bridge.

Mother's Day. Sunday, May 9, was Mother's Day in

North Stockholm. In a few of the homes the day was fittingly "observed. In other homes the inhabitants never knew it was the most appropriate day of the whole year. Mother's, Day is a tribute that the nation pays to the woman who have borne her sons and daughters, the women who have given their own travail to bring into the

. world the men, and women who will tomorrow honor in their thoughts the love that passeth every love save that of God's.

There is nothing in the world that compares ' with the sacredness of a mother's love. It outlives absence, ne­glect and crime. It is the love that never fails. The day brings back beautiful and sacred tboug4f"<""""*6£ the past, and there are thousands of men who will echo the sentiment in the ex­quisite verses of George Brengle:

"Sometimes in the hush of the eV^ifilg When the shadows creep from the

west, I think of the twilight songs you sang

and the boy you lull'd to rest— The wee little boy wtih the tousled

head *' ' That so long ago was thine,

I wonder if sometimes you long for that boy,

O little mother of mine?

And cow hei'has come to man's estate,, • Grown stalwart in body and string,

And you'd hardly "know that ,he was the lad

Whom you lull'd with your slumber-song. . ,

The years have altered the form and the life, .

But his heart is'unchanged by time; • And still he is only .thy .boy* as of old, < O little mother of mine!"

Clean Up Week in Stockholm. Monday, Ma^ 24, marks the begin­

ning of clean-up all through this.ges-tion. Spring's work will be done then, and omst every farmer, property-" holder and renter have anticipated the occasion and are planning a week -of hard work and civic pride.

From all sides there has come a spirit of hearty ^-operation ,oa the part of our citizens, who s$e§n to..f>e filled with a spirit of pride and a -gen­uine desire to make the town of Stockholm a sure-enough Spotjess farm comunity of northern New York.

•And, while you're doing such-a good job cleaning up your premises, why not do a little personal missionary work? There are cobwebs in many characters that need to be .swept away; dust . that obscures the vision and makes things seem- wary when all you need is a little personal house-cleaning of .your own, if with the rub­bish of the back yard, and barn, ygui can get rid of the malice and greed],
