During the thunder shower
today, there was quite a good
deal of excitement. Heath's
delivery team ran away but did
no damage; then the Douglas
house was struck by lightning
but nothing serious there
either. The fire department
turned out promptly and made
a fine run through the rain and
mud, but they did not turn any
water on the building, as a few
shingles knocked off, was all
the damage done.

V. II. Withrow, sec'y
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-02-16

In the face Of all the disquieting
anti American news from China, it is
almost amusing to read that the de-
partment of commerce and labor at
Washington last week adopted "mild-
err rules for the enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion law, aimed at Celes-
tial pacifcation. These new rules per-
nit some courtesy, consideration and
accommodation to be accorded Chinese
who seek to enter this country and
give them an equal showing with this
government in the benefit arising from
doubt. There may be proper reasons
for Chinese exclusion from this coun-
try, but if we compel it we can hardly
find cause for injury if Americans are,
in turn, put out of China. To have the
Cinnamon stay at home, trade with us
and let us do the prospecting, moulding
them to our liking by means of our
missionaries and other teachers, is a
program that reads all right to most
Americans. The Chinese, however, are
not without intelligence and concep-
ton of individual and national rights,
privileges and possibilities. We shall
either have to be fair or fight.

Fresh Winter Eggs.

For the man who can find a method
of producing fresh winter eggs at mod.
crate cost there is fortune waiting
w. E. Robinson of West Derby, VT,
has found a way. Read what he says:
"In looking over the record. of our
hens for the past six months, we find
the production of eggs per hen far ex-
ceeds any previous year, this too, in
the face of the very severe and long
continued cold weather of January,
February and March. Now, Honor
to whom honor is due. We attribute
this very gratifying gain in eggs to

faithfully before and never before had
so satisfactory a winter yield. We in
tend to somewhat more than double
our present flock of hens this season
and you may rest assured our orders
for poultry food will be increased in
like proportion.

the state.
Reports from 22l towns have been
received and show that of 1873 chill

feetive, ll,l05 in the eyes alone. Glas'
tenbury, in Bennington county, had the
highest percentage of detectives, three
being found in school of four. The
Windham county town of Stratton
holds the happy distinction of having
had the lowest percentage, 81, in two
schools of 10 pupils.

the clearness with which it summarizes
the facts involved in the charges and

him, and has answered them frankly,
fully and in convincing detail. The re-
suit ought to satisfy the most captious

ductlon of eggs. Read what c. A.

at the compliments paid-unconselous-

One man testified solemnly that his
only reason for believing there was

was on the losing side. The gentleman
couldn t for the life of him eompre-

Fits could lose case unless he delib-
erately sold out his client. What an
all powerful parsonage Brother Fits
must be in the mind of one who holds
such beliefs. and how insignificant all
other LAWYERS must look in comparison.
Those who claim that license in
Brattleboro makes no material differ
ence with the taxes of the town may be
surprised to read that the selectmen
have decided to recommend an increase
of 10 cents in the tax for the coming
year and that need of this increase lies
in the fact that the town went No last
March. 1t is an open question, how
ever, whether the excellent conditions
that have obtained since the town ex
perienced its change of heart do not
offset the accompanying raise in tax
rates Many people have no doubt
about this. but the Meddler is just
stubborn enough to believe that license
in Brattleboro, under certain condi-
tions. might not prove so bad as past
experience has led some to believe.

tice, under this government, accords to
every criminal the right of trial by
