WOMEN FIGHT BILLBOARDS.
Cantabrigia Club Persuades Advertiser,
10 Abandon Them.

A campaign against billboard adver.
tising in Cambridge, Mass. has been
begun by the members Of the tabriEia
Club, a women's organization OF that
city.
At recent meeting it was voted that
the chairman OF the civics department
write to firms using billboards for sdver.
tising purposes in certain parts OF the
city protesting against this manner Of
destroying the city's beauty and asking
their cooperation In an attempt to rid
Cambridge Of the distasteful nuisance.
The letter was as follows
The Cantabrigia Club OF CAMBRIDGE

to ask II you win be kind enough 20 CO.

FOR CHARGE CUSTOMERS.
Various Schemes for Identifying Them
Quickly.

When the trade Of department store
is 30 large that the foormen and sales
people cannot recognize credit customers
readily various expedlents have been
adopted for establishing their identity.
The usual system provides for long waits
while the customers name is looked up,
but a quicker method Is based on an iden-
tification coin bearing a registered num-
ber. which Is sent to the cashier with the
credit payment II the customer takes
the purchase with him. One New York
firm has augmented this system by small
books containing gummed and perfo-
rated slips bearing the customers 8 printed
pame and address.
When making purchases says System,
the customer merely tears OF two OF the
address slips and hands them to the sales
girl. One slip Ia stuck onto the package
as an address label II the goods are to Be
delivered and the other Ia attached to
the cashiers account.
The scheme saves time and trouble and
eliminates the chances Of error in tran
scribing the name and address. II Is
said 70 avoid more errors than any other
plan in use.

FORESTRY STUDENTS HERE.
Local Plantations Inspected by q.
V. M. Men

Two of the students Of forestry at
the University of VT, were in this
city for a day or two last week, hav-
ing been sent out by State Forester
Halves for work during the sum-
mer. The boys were II. L. Ames, of
Island Pond, and l.. A. Thayer, of
Brattleboro. Their territory COM
prises Washington, Orange, Windsor
mad Windham counties. Mr.. Ames
left for Plainfield Friday morning,
while Mr.. Thayer went to Mortified
that noon. While there they Wis
tied DR.. Brooks white pine planta-
ton, Hubbard Park and George
Kent's land. The forestry men say
that about a year ago the supply Of
white pine seedlings ran short in
the United States and a number Of
trees were shipped from Germany.
1t was found afterward that these
trees were affected with a kind of q
fungus growth and the forestry
men are trying hard to stamp it
out. The plantation owned by DR..
Brock was the most afflicted and
nearly a days work was necessary
to prevent the spread of the dis
ease.
States Attorney Benjamin Gates
has received a letter from State
Forester Halves calling his atten-
ton to the seriousness of forest
fires and asks that the fires in the
future be looked up and parties res
p%onsible prosecuted. The looking up
of forest fires is another phase of
the work the state forester is do
ing.

FOUNDATION NEARLY DONE.
Work Of Laying Brick on City Hall
WIN BE Begun in About a Week.

The laying of the foundation for
the new city hall is progressing
with such rapidity, that it will be
possible to begin the laying of the
brick for the structure itself
about next week Monday. D. w.
Cooley, who has the contract for
the foundation, is confident that
with any kind c. luck, he will be
able to finish the entire job in
about two weeks, but will have the
real wall Of the foundation ready
for the bricklayers by the time men
toned. The cavern which occurred
about a week ago has delayed the
operations considerably and the
discovery of water which over
flowed the trenches for a time, has
retarded the work so that it could
not be pushed as rapidly as Mr..
Cooley wished, but it is hoped that
what little remains of the job can
be finished without any further mis-
haps.
With masons busy putting In the
brick on the rear wall, and the
probability of their being able to
get at the side walls almost imme-
diately, the aim of the city hall
committee, to have the building
rooted over by fall, seems liable to
be realized. This has been the plan
since the work was begun and all
forces have been pushed to facili-

WATER is GETTING Low.
Power Plants Obliged to Put Good
Sized Loads on Their Steam Aux
iliaries.

The dry weather has affected
to no small extent the W
plants of this vicinity, so much so,
that they are obliged to put a
large amount of their loads upon
their steam auxiliary plants. The
Consolidated Lighting e Power
Company is carrying about 1000
horse power on its steam plant on
the Barre road, and about 500 on
the one located at Middlesex, while
the water plant at the latter point
is carrying about 700 horse power.
The station at Bolton Falls is at
present producing about 800 horse
power, but this may be reduced con
siderably unless the conditions
change in the near future.
The shower of Saturday night
did not materially increase the
water supply, and in fact no raise
in the river could be noticed, thus
showing that very little rain fell.
Inc -DtdNlIb-1 IOSI
is carrying 800 horse power on its
steam plant and about 400 on its
water power station at Kinney's
Mills, but their supply of water in
the dam is such that it will probably
survive a continuance of the dry
weather, for a short time at least.
While the crops in this vicinity
have not been seriously affected as
yet, by the dry weather, yet if re-
lief is not experienced soon, the
situation may take a more serious
aspect, with the possibility of forest
fires increasing daily. The farmers
are taking advantage Of the con-
tinued dry spell to get their hay
indoors, the crop this year being
quite large and fairly good in quail
ity.

"
After investigating the runaway,
which occurred at Plainfield on
Monday, July -, said to be the
result of careless driving on the
part of Walter Verge, a chauffeur
for J. ]. Williams, of this city, he
has decided that the state has not
sufficient cause to prosecute the
case. The accident in question oc-
cured while Mr.. Verge was driving
down the main street of the village,
a horse driven by a young lad be-
coming frightened and boiling. AS
a result the carriage struck a tree,
the boy was thrown out, striking
on his head against the tree and
was rendered unconscious and a
complain was made against the
chauffeur for careless driving. Sew
eral different stories r told by
various witnesses of the accident,
but the consensus of opinion in
Plainfield seems to be that Verge
was not at fault in the matter.
