golf and snowshoes to practise Delsarte on
the washboard and find health and wealth

The baseball season is not far remote
now. Whyshould not the live towns of
White River valley, Randolph, Bethel,
Rochester, Barnard, South Royalton,
Chelsea, sharon, White River junction,
and possibly Woodstock and Bridgewater,
take up The matter OF organizing a league,
or OF plaving series OF championship
games during the summer II would
give fine, interesting and exciting sport.
Running and travelling expenses would
be low, because the field itself is small,
and the salary item should cut no figure.
IL would be worth while TO see which OF
these towns actually has the best lot OF
ball players that it can fairly claim as its
own. Think it over, fans, and let the
HERALD hear from you.

turned from a two years tour OF duty in

and there being only two years before he

A tale of revolving cruelty comes from
Fish hill where an alleged trapper fol-
lowed a fox to his hole near a ledge, five
weeks ego, placed trap therein and Sc
curely closed the opening. He never
went near the spot again himself but just
within a day or two told someone else
what he had done, and the second person
set out to investigate affairs. When the
hole was dug open it was found tnat the fox
had had his foot caught in the jaws OF the
trap and, in trying TO get free, had gnawed
his leg until the foot hung by strip OF
the skin, which the poor beast, dying
from slow starvation, had not had
strength to sever. An individual with
so little mercy rs TO conduct trapping
operations after this fashion isn't many
removes in civilization from the brutes
that are better worth skiuning.
b. r. Demeritt Of the Demeritt & Palmer
Packing company, Waterbury, put in
a bout two days here the latter part Of last
week, in securing acreage for the pro-
posed corn factory, under the guidance Of
" l. Spear IL. w. Vail and j. ID. Howe.
They visited or interviewed quite a NUM-
her OF farmers within a radius Of two to
five miles of this VILE ge and were success
ful in placing acreage with most OF them,
varying in amount from one TO IN acres.
The time allowed WIS too short 70 quite
make up the desired number Of acres, and
many growers could not be seen at all, but
enough was secured, with what viii nat
urally follow, 10 give practical assurance
that the required acreage could be had.
ANY who desire to plant the corn or wish
information about 10, should confer with
II. w. Vail soon. IL is understood that
the company expects to build the factory
here in the spring, and has plans already
made and most OF the machinery bought
The main building will probably be Of
concrete, to give all the immunity possible
from fire, and will be considerably larger
than the company's Waterbury plant,
with capacity for adding second set OF
machinery, II the expected need develops.
