The supreme court denied the Pc
tltion for a writ of mendamus, asked
for by D. A, Williams, a negro, to
compel the Parsons board of educa-
tlon to allow his children to attend
a school exclusively for white chill
dren. The Williams residence was
located between the railroad tracks
and in order to get to the schools
set apart for negroes it was necessary
Tor his children to cross these tracks.
Williams wanted to send his chill
dren to the school for white pupils
as 1t would not be SO dangerous, and
he contended that the board of edu-
cation had no right to sGgregate
white and negro children. The court
held that crossing the tracks was
not particularly dangerous, and that
the board of edaeation had a right
to segregate chiKGren and that the
children should attend the
negro school.

WHY THE PRICE on
EGGS Is SO HIGH.
Cold Storage Manager Tells About
Conditions.

tf.af- talfal III T----------i ffI lafa.
Here is what the manager of I
local cold storage plant says about
the egg situation.
There IS one reason fora shortage
I'm the egg product and high prices
that the people do not think Of very
often, II at all, The people all over
Kansas, Nebraska and many Other
states, who were obliged at one time
in the recent past to depend for the
most OF their living on poultry pro-
ducts are not paying nearly so much
attention to the busIpess they once
did. Formerly the farmers wives
attended to the poultry to make 1t
bring all the returns possible. They
are not doing that now; they are
getting the money to buy ter silas,
clothing and Injuries OF the home,
as well as the necessities, from other
sources on the farm. They are get
ting their money from wheat, corn,
alfalfa and other sources and are
not paying attention to the poultry.
They will no longer bother with the
hens. They do not have to.
s@The price Of eggs depends upon
the supply and the supply depends
upon the weather conditions. There
are no eggs coming to the market at
this time to speak Of, the kind used
NY our people in the city, Why? Be-
Ause nature gives the fowl the In
stinct to cut off the supply under the
weather conditions which now pre-
vail. They will not produce eggs in
cold weather without the greatest
care which they do not now get at
this time of year. The weather has
been the coolest known for this sea-
son Of the year for the past two
months, not alone here in Kansas,
but all over the country.
1.-THE price Of cold storage eggs is
no higher now than usual at this time.
IN the year. They are now worth
from % to rs cents per dozen. The
people do not use these eggs here.
They are practically the same price
in Kansas City and in Chicago. We
are expecting the price of cold stor-
age eggs to advance some now. Why?
Because this cold weather reaches to
the gulf, and the weather conditions
will shut off the local supply; as 1t
will cut off the product of the poul-
try yard.
1.-THE price Of prime fresh eggs in
Chicago has been 6 cents, but today
they made a jump OF two cents per
dozen. The reason for it is because
the receipts have fallen off, just the
same as they have here, to cause
prices, The weather condi.
lions are bad for egg products all
over The country and this is the con-
trolAag factOr In prlces.
Another thing that NAV be CON
sidered in the high price Of eggs, in
some degree at least. is the advanced |
Drice of other articIes Of food. Eggs
would follow in this advance. Abilene
,sualiv eats more or less fresh eggs
rom western Kansas at this time Of
year. There are very few now com

Manhattan Beach. They stopped at one
of the best hotels there and Reynolds
ordered a fine dinner for the party,
including the chauffeur. When it
came to paying for the spread Rey-
nolds confessed that he was short of
change and one of the girls had to
foot the bill amounting to SIG. When
the party returned to New York the
following morning the chauffeur de-
manded his fare, amounting to S45. AS
Reynolds had no money and his
friends did not seem willing to help
him, the chauffeur had him arrested
Reynolds did not seem to be worried
by his arrest. He told the magis-
trate that he had the privilege of a
charge account at the Waldorf-Astor-
la, but no cash. He was fined SIS and
as he could not pay, he was locked
up. Even then his nerve did not fail
him and, as if nothing untoward had
happened, Reynolds waved his hand
to the girl who had paid for the din
ner and who was a scornful witness
of the proceedings in court.

Wage Increase Welcomed.

Bellows Falls-On Monday last the
wages of the $50 employees of the In
ternational Paper Company were ad-
vanced as per agreement in the set
Element of the strike last spring. The
raise averages about five per cent
and is distributed in what is consid-
cred an equitable manner to those in
every department of the plant, ex-
cept the firemen who received their
wage increase on July /, the date on
which the company would have
granted wage increase to all employ
es had not the strike interviewed
Conditions now at the local paper
mills are considered quite gratifying
all the former employees having pro-
cured their old positions except about
20 men. The raise is gladly welcom-
ed and since it was agreed to leave
all future differences to arbitration
there is a firm belief that there will
be no more strikes, which is likewise
pleasing TO everybody. Since the
strike settlement the mills here have
heen running to their capacity, and
everything seems to be harmonious
and in smooth running order with
bright future prospects.

Hawk Laid Low.

Dorset-Many farmers will rejoice
to know that the immense hawk which
has been prominent here for many
weeks has at last been laid low. 1t
was Familiarity termed a red-tailed
hen hawk and measured "a inches
from beak to end of tail, its girth
was IS inches and its wings spread
covered 81 inches. Its life was taken
by Mrs. Clifton Kent, who shot it
while it was circling over large
elm tree in the yard. 1t was carrying
small brown snaks in its beak. Sew
eral people who had seen 1t in flight
said it was as big as a turkey, and
all averred it was an eagle. 1t was
frequently seen near the Kent poul-
try farm, and on Saturday last, about
noon, the two sons of the family, aged
seven and nine, were playing in the
yard when they spied the hawk above
them Mr. Kent being away from
home, they called for their mother to
come quick with the gun. Rushing
to the scene, Mrs. Kent gave the bird
a swinging" shot as it was directly
overhead, breaking one wing, after
which it landed in the adjoining
meadow owned by C. B. Kent, and
was quickly despatched by shot in
the head A week ago Mrs. Kent shot

WORK OF SANATORIUM.
Good Progress Made at PittsfOrd IN
stitution in Fighting Tuberculosis.

The medical report of the Vermont
Sanatorium at Pittsford for the quar-
ter ending June so, 1910, as submitted
to the trustees, shows a very marked
increase in the work and scope of the
institution. A greater number Of
applications has been made and a
larger number of patients have been
treated than during any previous
period in it's history.
During the summer months every
available bed has been occupied and
at times the number of patients has
exceeded the actual working capacity.
June 80 there were Al patients in the
sanatorium (22 men and 10 women
August l. the number was 43, and
there is a considerable list of accepted
patients waiting for vacancies to oc-
cur.
! The 80 patients admitted during
the quarter were classified as 10 in
cipient and II moderately advanced
Two were from Addison, two from
Bennington, one from Caledonia, four
from Chittenden, one from Franklin
two from Lamoille, one from Grand
Isle, three from Rutland, four from
Washington, two from Windsor, six
from Windham and two from Orleans
counties respectively. This table of
geographical distribution shows that
even those localities at greater dis
lance, in the eastern and southeast
ern part of the State, are beginning
to realize more the importance of
sanatorium treatment, and are taking
advantage of the opportunities offered
| by this institution.
OF the nineteen cases DISCHARGED
during the quarter, in whom results of
treatment We're considered, three were
apparently cured, three were arrest
ed, and seven improved, three re-
manned stationary or grew worse and
one died. In other words, Is or near
ly so per cent were distinctly bene-
fitted. Some of those discharged will
| be able to follow out the treatment
at home or at least seek out more
hygienic modes of living, as a result
of the training and education re-
ceived.
With the increased number of APP
plications, the policy will be to select
earlier and more favorable cases, so
that in the future even better results
ought to be expected

OPERATING WITHOUT LICENSE.
Question Raised Whether Autos Are
Not Run i'm Some Cases BY Unli.
censed Parties.


Numerous persons have raised the
question as to whether or not all of
the people who are driving automo-
biles in the city are licensed as pro-
vided in the law governing the opera
! ton of autos OF other motor vehicles.
The city authorities are now looking
into the matter and it will not be at
all surprising if within a few days
certain persons who are known to be
operating autos without a license or
accompanied by licensed operator as
provided in the Public Statutes of the
State of Vermont will be brought into
City Court.
There is now no question in the
minds of the authorities who have
been loking into the matter that there
are certain persons who have for
some time been operating machines
owned by relatives or other persons
without an operators license and I'M
accompanied by a licensed chauffeur
or operator.
The law which applies 10 the mat
ter of operators licenses is Section
40S7 of the Public Statutes which is
as follows: Operating without a H.
cense prohibited-No person shall OPP
crate an automobile or motor vehicle
upon public highway or private way
laid out under authority of law unless
chapter. No person shall operate an
automobile or motor vehicle for hire
unless licensed so to do No person
shall employ for hire as chauffeur or
operator of an automobile or motor
vehicle a person not specially licensed
as provided in this chapter.
Section 1889 allows the driving of
an automobile or motor vehicle by
person not having a license when
accompanied by a licensed operator
or chauffeur.
The law is very specific in regard
to operators licenses, still there are
many persons who are not observing
1t undoubtedly because of ignorance
of the fact that such law exists. The
authorities have decided that the most
eective way OF bringing the attention
of the law breakers to the matter is
to make examples OF few of them by
bringing them into court.

"FEEDS" COME HIGH.
Local "FOOd FOundries" Have Raised
Price of Few Things, But "DOgs"
Remain the Same.

The continued high price of eggs
and meat has sent the cost of lunch
counter feeds" soaring and makes
the bachelor think of the joys of a
home. For some time egg sandwiches
have been selling at cents each and
the various combinations of egg with
other material have been selling for a
dime. On August ! most of the lunch
counters of the city raised the price
of these sandwiches five cents each.
The few who had been selling beans
for a nickel plate have also raised
nickel. With eggs at 30 cents a
dozen and meat correspondingly high,
the proprietors asserted that they
were barely coming out even, while a
profit was out OF the question.
