ciated with the Charles F. Noyes Co., Is re¬
tiring from business at a relatively early date.

Noyes Co; on April 15 to fill the vacancy. - Be
will be elected a director to take Mr. Weaver's
place in the several corporations with which
Charles F. Noyes is largely identified. Mr.
Weaver will remain until his successor is well
started on his new work. Col. Keene comes to
the Noyes Co. after 13 years ot active service
with the United States Regular Army, most of
which time has been devoted to ezeciltive worlc

trance from the Pacific Coast, and more recently
mustered in and out of the Regular Army the
National Guard forces of the country. He also
