"On this important matter OF pro-
per compensation for school teach
ers," says a state editor, Vermont
progresses away from the standards
of pioneer days with the celebrity of
frozen molasses." OF all underpaid,
misunderstood people, and I speak
of those who follow callings which
demand much training and many
brains, the public school teacher has
the worst of the present day bargain.
Vermonters, especially, are not to
be patted upon the back for their
liberality in compensating their
teaching STATS for services rendered
Yet, the school teacher Yields
measureless influence for good or
evil, as she sees fit, on the impress

She has the youngsters under her
care two-thirds of the year, two
thirds of the week, two-thirds Of the
day, and the initiative small pitchers
garner up many things which were
never seen in books nor written
upon blackboards. And what does
she get for her pains? Little thanks
and less coin. The consciousness OF
good seed we'll planted, perhaps, and
enough compensation to exc out a
slender living, the state of her
pocketbook forbidding more than a
rare trip home now and then On

The fact that the holidays are

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent discoveries" that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
to make We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
il the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. Quaker Oats is sold in FAM
lily size packages at 25c or at 3oc for
the package containing a piece of fine
china. The regular size package sells
at 10c. Follow the example OF the
Scotch; eat a Quaker Oats breakfast
every day.

LIST OF HOLIDAYS.
Merchants Committee Agree to Close
Stores on All Holidays But Two.


Stores on All Holidays But Two.
The Merchants Committe of the
Board of Trade held a meeting last
evening, at which the matter of clos
ing stores on holidays, and the hours
of closing on week days was dis
cussed.
Previous to this meeting, mem
bers of the committee had inter
viewed practically every merchant
in town, and an agreement was
reached whereby all stores will be
closed on all holidays except Arbor
Day and Bennington Battle Day, and
in case holiday occurs on Sunday,
the stores will close on the Monday
following.
The dates on which holidays &C.
cur, and on which stores will be
closed, are as follows, in 1909:
Memorial Day, May 80, Indepen-
dence Day, July 4, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas; 1910,
New Years Day Washington's
Birthday.
The matters of evening closing.
and closing for a half-holiday dur
ing the summer months are still I'M
der discussion. but will be decideQ
soon, and notice given of the agree
ment reached.
AS these matters are of general
interest to all persons, it is urged
that anyone desiring goods for use
on holidays will bear this agreement
in mind, and place their orders for
goods the day preceding a holiday, in
order that merchants may live up to
this agreement as it is intended to
adhere strictly to this rule, and as
soon as the entire list of closing
dates are decided, they will be pub
lished in the papers, and printed on
large cards which will be placed in
the stores, so that all persons may
have proper notice, and no incon-
venience may result as has been the
case formerly, because of the fact
that the public had not been suffi-
cienly notified Of the intention tc
close stores.

Man Placed Under $1,000 Bonds.
Hyde Park, May pa burglar
was discovered at work in the gen
eral store of G.. B. F'oss at one
o'clock on Saturday and shot, the
wound proving fatal.
The robber was detected by par
ty of young people coming home
from a dance. The young men hur-
riedly armed themselves and sur
rounded the store, the robber by this
time becoming aware that he had
been trapped He jumped through a
window and made a bolt through
the line for freedom almost run
ming into Archie Billings, who sent
bullet through his hip and intes-
tines with 1920 Winchester rifle
The injured man was taken to the
Office Of DR.. John Stevens, who
dressed the jagged wound. The doc
tor soon learned that the man could
not live. He did not lose con-
seriousness and when Intercepted as
to his identity maintained stub
born silence.
An investigation of the store
showed that the man had rifed he
| money drawer of it's contents and
had gathered a considerable amount
! of merchandise together to carry
away. He prbably was about to
leave with the booty he was de-
| tected.
| Many people about town saw the
man and no one is able to throw any
light on his identity. He is probably
professional from some distance.
He was a smooth shaver, medium
sized man of about 50 years.
| The burglar died about 4:30
| o'clock this morning. He was asked
| if he had anything to say regarding
his identity or if the authorities
should notify anybody. He said that
| if he got we'll he would reveal his
identity but if he died it didn't mat
| ter. Up to the last he refused to
make any statement and died game.
The unknown burglar was about
| five feet, ten inches in height, had a
light complexion and sandy NOUS
tache He would weight about $50
| pounds. 1t was very evident that the
man had been in Maine and New
Hampshire, as he carried separate
maps of these states which showed
usage. He had on green necktie
bearing the mark of o. f. Black
ington & Son. Rockland, Me. The
booty found on his person amounted
to about SIG in pennies and nickels
from the candy counter, a razor, a
tooth brush. pair of shoes. a pair
of trousers and box of tobacco.
There was no burglars kit on his
person and the only instruments he
carried were an old razor, a cold
