BELLOWS FALLS TROUBLE.

acting within the mutations of the in.

are up in arms against having their
community turned into Il beer garden,
after the expression by popular vote
for no-license. Those in any COM

that tn. purposes of the Vermont law

Therein lies one of the strongest argu.
ments against n local-option law. For
every town that votes yes" there are
numerous other towns lying adjoining OF

whose vote is rendered of little avail owing

(From the Barre Times.)


During the past winter the city Of Mont.
pelier has saved more than 81 900 through
the Use of the electrical thawing machine
to loosen up frosen water pipes, 1t being
estimated that the cost Of digging. as
formerly done. would have made that
difference. In the city Of Burlington
there have been 423 service pipes frozen
this winter. against 20 during the year
previous and a very few in the year be-
fore that. In almost every case electricity
was used the past winter. and the cost,
" figured up. would show a respectable
amount. In the city of Barre the demand
on the water department to thaw frozen
pipes has been much greater than usual,
and here. too the electrical thawing APP
paratus has done service. In fact, II
would have been an impossibility for the
department to have done the work under
the former laborious method OF digging.
This little labor nd expense saver has
been an important addition to the equip
mcnt of Il number of the larger COM
munitics.

In Olden Days.

In our grandfather's time,
when one wished to paint his
house, he would buy the lead
dry, grind in the oil. labor.
iously by hand, and then thin
to the proper consistency.
Later it was found posi-
bic to buy the lead already
ground in oil. But progress
did not stop here. Soon af-
ter, paint, ready to use was
offered for sale. 1t took at
once. 1t was so convenient
and saved a lot of bother.
But the makers knew the
people could not tell what
was in the paint till it was
opened, and a good many not
then. They took advantage
of that fact, and fed paint
users with poor paint, till
ready mixed paint fell into
disfavor.
One man saw their folly.
His name is Senour, and he
started Monarch Paint, Is
years ago.
Hagar Bros, Burlington,
will tell you more.
