Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such az
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or GreeA
champions.
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm.
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack.
ages; if not near the store buy the

BROWN, SENIOR, GOT 1s MONTHS
Head of Notorious Family Sent to Mas
sachusetts Work House,

George w. Brown, head of the Brown
family and a short-term resident of Brat.
tleboro, who was taken into custody at
Windsor Conn, charged with the larceny
of a horse in Chicopee, Mass, was sur
rendered to City Marshal O'Rourke of
Springfield, Mass, upon extradition pa
pers Tuesday. He pleaded guilty in the
to stealing horse, buggy and harness
from j. j. Healy, a Chicopee liveryman,
and was sentenced to Is months at hard
labor in the house of correction. Despite
the assertions of Brown, who has trav-
eled under the name of G. W., L. W.,
and b. W. Brown, that the blame should
all be laid upon his wife and Oldest son
for the crooked dealings charged against
the family in the various towns in which
they have lived, he was identified by State
Officer Bligh as a crook with a record
AS soon as the officer saw Brown in court
he recognized him as man with a
record warranting the preservation of his
portrait in several rogues' galleries. 1t is
doubtful whether Brown will be brought
to Vermont to answer the charges made
against him in this state, for when his
term expires at the institution to which
he has been sentenced he will be re-
arrested for some of the several police
departments that have warrants for him.
Evidently Mr.. Brown has contracted
an acute case Oh deafness since leaving
Brattleboro, for he showed no evidence
of such an intirmity while here. During
his trial before Judge White in the Chic
opee police court, some of the questions
were shouted in his ear, but most of
them he easily heard when he so de-
sired. In telling his story, he occupied
several minutes at times in deep thought
and then repeated his former assertions.

dening which the architect has used in
embellishing his drawing would naturally
be made a part of the plan of identifying
the grounds about the hotel especially if
the suggested location overlooking the
river from Fairview avenue is decided
upon. The committee having in charge
the hotel project has looked at several
sites beside the one on Fairview avenue
and location in CrowelIs park. Options
have been secured and within few days
the committee may have arrived at some
thing definite in the way of location.
1t is hoped by the promoters that plans
may be completed in time to make con-
tracts for the erection of the building in
season to be occupied next summer.
The committee will be pleased to hear
from hotel managers who are able to as

The project of building big year-round
hotel I'M Brattleboro, which has been
under consideration by the board of trade
for several weeks, bids fair to become
something more tangible than talk, for
plans have been prepared for the pro-
posed hotel and already large amount of
the $4,000 needed to finance the building
of the hotel has been pledged. The work
ing plans were received this week from
Frank F. Jonesburg, the Boston architect,
and the committee in charge of the pro-
ject is ready to talk business with COM
petent hotel managers who are able and
willing to invest at least one-quarter and
possibly onethird of the amount neces-
sary to erect the building. To purchase
the site for the building and to furnish
the hotel in frst-class shape will require
an additional $4,000 1t is not proposed
to finish off the rooms on the upper floor

The structure, which is designed to ac-
commodate 200 guests, will be built of
wood and the first story will be clap
boarded. The upper stories will be fin

Ames hill. one of the loftiest and most
slightly hilltops in Windham county. about
seven miles west of Brattleboro on the old
stage route to Troy. is fast becoming a
popular location for summer homes for
city people. says the local correspondent
of the Springfield Republican. Most of
the farms on and about the hill have been
secured by .well-known, summer visitors
who have either already built attractive
cottages or have them in anticipation. The
view from the crest of the hill, which IS
about 1000 feet about sea level. is one of

MORGAN BREEDERS CLUB.
Probability That One Will Be Organized
Very Soon

1t is quite likely that the plans under
way relative to the formation of a ma
tional Morgan horse breeders club which
are to be discussed by the representative
breeders of this strain of horsetlesh during
the coming week will result in the forma-
ton of such club during the week of the
Valley fair, Sept. 2S, 30 and 80. Upon the
arrival of Joseph c. Brunl of Rochester,
ILL.,, who is en- route east with a carload
of fancy bred Morgans for exhibit at
the state fair and in all probability at the
Valley fair, a conference will be held by
representative breeders of the country in
regard to the forming of such club. Some
attempt may be made to establish a month
ly journal devoted exclusively to the Nor
gan horse. 1t is believed that such repre-
sentative breeders as l.. L. Dorsey of An
chorage, Ky, S. Heath of Seattle, A. r.
Van Tassel of Dubois, Pa, and Delos
Dunton of Carpentersville, ILL.,, will be
interested in such plan and already the
matter has been placed before Mr.. Brunk.
c. X Larrabee, the Belhngham, Wash,
millionaire breeder of Morgans, has been
approached in this matter and from the
opinions offered by many of those inter
ested in the matter it would appear that
the idea of a club is gaining ground.
To get an informal opinion from the
several promoters as to the personnel of
the new clubs officers those interested in
ers in different parts of the country to
suggest a board of officers. From the many
replies received it appears that Mr.. Dor
sey and Mr.. Brunk are the most promi-
nently mentioned men for president of the
proposed club 1t is said that Dick Selle-
man. the Texas breeder of Morgans, will
be chosen the first vice-president, and that
A. c. Ball of Pontiac, H., the owner of
the famous Henry NJ. Stanley, bred by the
late Lawrence Brainerd of st. Adams, will
make a good man for the treasurer Yer
mont is complimented by the promoters
in making up their tentative list of off
GERS. 1t is suggested that Harry G. Shaw
of Brattleboro. for many years acting sec
rotary of the Morgan Horse Breeders as
ISOLATION and for ten years engaged in the
compilation of material and pedigrees for
various works on Morgan horses, be chos-
en- secretary and that Henry T. Cults of
Orwell be selected as chairman of the board
of governors of the club.
An attempt will be made to stimulate an
interest in the Morgan in Latin-American
countries if the proposed club material
ICES. As there are several thousand breed
ers of Morgans in this country the promo
tiers of the club idea are sanguine that a
healthy membership list can be obtained
at the start. The matter of establishing
a monthly journal devoted exclusively to
Morgan horse interests has been in en-
bryo for over two years. The promoters
of the club plan are all men interested in
exploiting Morgan horses and nearly all
of them are men Of wealth.

pledged. The managers of the project
state that their plan is not to be con-
founded with any scheme to adver-
tise themselves or Brattleboro. 1t is
a straightforward business proposition
backed by $4,000 of real money and that
a hotel to be operated y months in the
year is to be erected in this village de-
signed to cater especially to that class of
the summer and winter tourist who looks
for everything in sight and expects to
pay for what he gets. The proprietors
and manager of the new Wantastiquet
or whatever may be the name of the
hostelry propose to equip the hotel with
every modern convenience.
1t will be remembered that when the
board of trade early in the summer adj
vertised in New York, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island and Connecticut papers
for summer boarders the responses re-
ceived, numbering hundreds, made no
reference to price but wanted to know
what could be bought in the shape of
accommodations. 1t is upon the belief
that summer tourists are willing to pay
and pay well for frst-class accommoda-
tions that the hotel projectors are ready
to subscribe money to the stock of the
proposed company.

cense that would have answered every

In addition to the other useless furni
ture there is a form OF oath attached tC

towns the town clerks are administering
an oath to the applicant and charging al
extra twenty-five cents i'll addition to the
ten cents which the law allows them fol-
making out the license. This oath is not
provided for in the law itself. Nobody
is obliged to subscribe to it unless he
wishes to and if he does the town clerk
has no authority to charge twenty-five
cents for it. The law provides for the
obtaining Of a license for resident hunters
on a payment of fifty cents and that is all
anybody is compelled to ray The word
ing of the law on this subject is plain,
the words of the statute being "He shall
pay the sum of fifty cents, of which the
clerk may retain ten cents as a fee and
said clerk shall thereupon issue resident
hunting license" 1t is hard on the town
clerks to be required to do lot of I'M

Some time ago the Rutland Herald
voiced demand for a state editor to put
official reports and statements into form so
that they can be understood without in
depreciation by the supreme court. Such
an official might well have been employed
to prepare the hunters license, in simple
direct, disable form without attaching so
much useless form and velbiage and with
out involving so much unnecessary expense
for printing.
This example from the state fish and
game commissioner is not the only sample.
The documents and blanks of the state
board of health are of the same class,
blind in form, involved and overloaded.
The officials are not wholly to blame.
They doubtless do the best they can, but
undertake to do something that they are
not fitted for and founder badly. Their
mistake is in not calling in the services
of somebody who can at least write under
standable English in concise and pointed
language. Many good laws are made alb
surd and imperative by just such foolish
method as the fish and game commissioner
has used in connection with the hunting
license.
