SwindItng the cresmeries.

From all over the state comes re-
ports of agents of eastern brokerage
firms who have done the creameries
OF the state out OF large sums of
money for consignments of butter.
They have operated in almost every
portion of the state and the valley has
not escaped. While the smooth fel.
lows have not been very successful in
these parts it is said that they have
attempted to do both the Gentilly and
Gary creameries.
Not long ago man, who said he
was representative of Brooklyn
firm, swindled several creamerjes in
the state out of more than 81, 200. A
little later an agent purporIing to re-
present Chicago firm got away with
a good deal of money.
The representatives of these firms
have very smooth way of doing
business. They APPROACH the butt er.
maker by telling him what excellent
butter he makes. They say it is the
best they have ever seen; that it is
just what they have been looking for,
and that their employers will give
from q half to q cent q pound more
than the market price. In many in
stances the buttermaker is pleased by
the compliments and readily contracts
to consign butter to the firms head
quarters. The butter is shipped, bills
are sent to the firm in rapid success
sion, but no replies are received.
W. W. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, is considering the
advisability Of establishing q credit
bureau In connection with the state
dairy and food department. He will
make arrangements to secure from q
mercantile agency reports on COM
mission houses whose credit is ques-
toned and furnish the information
free to Minnesota buttermakers and
cheesemakers.--Norm Co. Herald.

high School Notes.

Miss Ella T. Wright, now OF Alex
andria, Latin teacher in the High
School three years ago, paid US a
pleasant visit last Friday. A most
cordial greeting was exchanged with
the members of the present senior
class, whom, when freshmen, she ini-
tiated into the first degrees of the mys-
teries of satanity.
Arrangements have been made for q
foot ball game with the Benson High
School team next Saturday, to be
played on the grounds of the latter.
The Willmar team is in a little better
condition, as to weight and practice,
than when it met the Litchfield aggre-
cation, and will try their best to win
victory over the Bensonit
The students have organized in two
literary societies, each consisting OF
one-half of each of the four classes.
The first group has chosen the follow
ing officers: Maurice Jenness, presi-
dent; Robert Dram, vice-president;
and Lille Noren, secretary. The sec.
ond group is oficered by Mary Glad
as president; Fritz Lindner, vice-pres-
ident; and Mayme Carver, secretary.
Committees have been appointed to
propose suitable names for the orga-
nizations, and to prepare programs
for the first entertainments. The work
will consist largely of dramatic pro-
ductions, also of vocal and instru-
mental music, recitations, etc. The
school has good deal of talent along
these lines, and instructive and enter
tanning programs will undoubtedly be
given.

wise give vent to their feelings of
gratitude for the good things enjoyed
during the year. The students also
seem inclined to wish Friday added to
the vacation. A petition to the board
of education has been circulated, and
some are even advocating the rebel
lious measure of a general strike, or
in other words, that everybody should
"play hockey" on that day. Such an
act would hardly meet with universal
aDDrObatiOn. however. as there are
always some of the faithful, "loy-
alists," tories, towards, ''or what
ever name they may 60 by, who are q
stumbling block to the execution of
the radical plans of the ''rebels" and
"patriots. The alleged question of
''students' rights" implied will no
doubt be settled satisfactorily to all
concerned.

that they would be able to remove the
abscess. The patient, however, was
unable to survive and breathed her
last while the physicians were making
the vain attempt to save her life.

with her parents at the age of IL The
family came to Grant county, remov-
ing later to the farm near Wheaton,
Here she was united in marriage i'm

deceast d. The interment was in the
Fairview cemetery.
The surviving husband as we'll as
the little ones who are left motherless

tire community in their hour of
bereavement. May they be consoled
to know that good wife and Chris

prepare the way for home where
there is no suffering and where all

New Years Day at Hale's Tavern.

A jolly party of 81 St. Johnsbury peo-
pie, including generous sprinkling of
little folks, celebrated the first holiday of
the year by going to Wells River and
enjoying dinner at Hale's Tavern.
" Mine Host " Jerome F. Hale had a fine
repast and all the guests did full justice
to it. During the dinner hour music was
furnished by the Wells River Orchestra of
seven pieces, ]. r. Grace, director. The
occasion was made all the more enjoy
able by the presence of a dozen of the
people from Wells River, two ladies from
Newbury and that prince of travellers
and en- ertainers, Mr.. Wilkie, the veteran
drummer. After an eight course dinner
the guests remained in the dining room
tor short entertainment. The program
included piano solo by Miss Alice B.
Warden, two vocal solos by Mrs. P. F.
Hazen, a reading from the Habitant
by Robert Mackinnon, Mark Twain's
first tale, "The Story OF the Jumping
Frog" and brief addresses by Mr.. Wilkie
and Rev ]. A. Belanger, the pastor of the
Wells River Congregational church. A
part not on the original program was
most successfully carried out in a near
little address by P. F. Hazen, accompan-
led by the presentation OF bouquet of
flowers to lady who has contributed
so much to our social life during her 13
years residence in st. Johnsbury. After
the little entertainment was over the
party were invited by Landlord Hale to
a barge ride through the village and
across the Connecticut, returning to the
hotel for more music and a general good
time. They came home on the early
evening train, and all voted that it was
not only the most enjoyable occasion of
the year, but one of the best of any year.
