Is Your Family Reading Worth
While'?

So much of current reading is merely
entertaining at best that the question nat
urally arises, Is it worth while? Your
sons and daughters are bound to read
something. They hunger for stories which
take them into the other half of the world
the world of adventure, of valor. OF for
tune-making. The problem isto give them
such reading without putting into their
hands the literature that is either silly or
demoralizing. The editors of The Youth's
Companion believe that periodical can be Z.
made entertaining and yet worth while,
and The Companion is conducted on that
theory. And that is one reason why more
than half a million American families read
it. The paper is safe, but not, dull, Its
tales of adventure illustrate the advan-
tages of fortitude and selfreliance. Its
stories of character lay stress on the truth
that right conduct is never mistake.

ELROY KENT SAYS

Talks Interestingly With Montpelier
Reporter on Various 'Subjects-His
Opinion of Lawyers and of His
Fathers Strange Death.

A Montpelier Journal reporter called at
the Washington county jail Friday after
noon and interviewed Elroy Kent, the con-
victed murderer of Miss Della B. Congdon,
whose death occurred at East Wallingtord
in the summer of 1908. Kent was sitting
at a small table scribbling on sheet OF
paper when the reporter entered, and upon
being asked what he was doing Kent re-
piled that it relieved his mind occasionally
TO put his thoughts down on paper. He
handed the slip to the journal man who,
upon examining it. found countless num-
Der of more or less straight lines, probably
Eroys secret code.
Kent told the reporter that he liked the
Jail here much better than the Rutland
county Jail, saying:
"'The people up this way seem to know
little something, and there's no noise
here; no marble shops grating and grind
ing all the time and no crazy women prls-
oners screaming all the time. And there
amt so many prisoners here and what 5
here amt no big criminals, just DRINKS,
and the likes of that and it don't hurt you
so much to associate with them.
'In that Jail in Rutland there's the big.
gest rascals in the world, mostly all OF
them murderers and footpads and bur-
glars, and it used to make me feel awful to
be near them. No." he added, in answer
to a question, II didn't get fair trial

SHEEP-Re1eipts were quite liberal this
morning, but of the number reported in

not offered for sale at this point. This
means that the number of sheep and lambs
actually on sale today was unusually small.
At the same time the demand was more
brisk and there was a decidedly better
feeling on the market. II was evident
right from the opening that buyers all
wanted a few sheep and lambs and as a re-
suit Of the good demand practically every
thing changed hands in very good season
in the morning. Prices paid ranged any
