plant and the complainant takes what
be can get if he has the money to fight it
out with the defendant. If from the ex-
perience of these large corporations and
a disinterested board representing the
public some uniform basis of damages
could be fixed that juries must follow, 1T
would do away with large amount OF
our present litigation. Under the present
system it is largely a gamble what the
damages will be. But if it could be fixed
so the complainant would know his
damages could not exceed a certain
amount and the defendent knew it would
not be under a certain amount settle
ments could be much more readily effect
ed. Possibly such thing would not be
constitutional but it is certainly worth
consideration to see if a practical plan
could not be worked out.

Farmers and Books.

The Concord Grange recently discussed
the following Which Is the
More Serviceable to a Farmer, Practical
knowledge Gained by Experience, or
knowledge Gained from Agricultural
Books or Papers?" We have no know
ledge of what was said on this question
by either side but would like to offer a
few suggestions. First no farmer can
prosper unless he has practical know
ledge gained by experience. No matter
how many theories he may have
he must be able to apply them
to actual conditions to make them
of any use So he must never expect to
substitute book knowledge for practical
effort.
Book knowledge may however be
more valuable and important to him
than anything he would gain by practi-
cal experience alone because it might
suggest to him methods for the applica-
ton of his practical efforts that would
bring more profitable results for his
labor. Practical knowledge, that is the
performance of the work in the way it
was taught to the middleaged farmer of
today as a boy, would keep him
still trying to maintain the fertility of
the soil by the use of barnyard manure
alone Book or theoretical knowledge
has shown him that land cannot main
tain it's life on one kind of food any more
than animal life can be supported that
way. Practical knowledge would still
maintain live stock on dry hay and dry
grains throughout the winter. The
other kind of knowledge has shown him
that the rations must be balanced to give
the most profitable results. So it will be
seen that while the theoretical can never
displace the practical in farmers life it
is of as much use and value to him.
Farmers should not attempt to belittle
the Importance of "book learning" but
rather welcome it as far as it can help
them towards more profitable and
successful efforts.

Eastman Tisdale Wedding.

The house of Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. lis
dale was the scene of quiet family we'd
ding Saturday, at six o'clock when their
daughter, Mildred, was married to AL
bert Eastman of Groton. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. B. F. Butler, in
the presence of the immediate families.
The house was simply but prettily de-
corated for the occasion, the young
couple standing under an arch of ever
green and arbutus. The brides gown
was pink silk and she carried a bouquet
of pink carnations. She was attended
by her sister, Miss Glenn M. Tisdale, who
wore gown Of white poplin, heavily
braided. Herbert Comfy attended the
groom as best man.
Following the ceremony refreshments
of ice cream and cake were served in the
dining room which was decorated with
spring flowers. Misses Ruth Tisdale,
Vivian Hall and Russell Lord passed the
refreshments. Mr.. and Mrs. Eastman
took the morning train for Boston. The
bride wore mode suit with hat to
match. They will go today to Groton
where the groom is employed by the
New England Telephone Co., and then
they will go to housekeeping. Last eve
ming the young friends of the bride gave
her linen shower and good time at the
home of Miss Lizzie Lord

Some State Suggestions.


The presence of the governor and the
lieutenant governor of Vermont &C the
banquet rendered the Caledonia County
Medical Association and friends in this
village last week gave the gentlemen
present an opportunity to learn some OF
the things the state leaders wish to see
accomplished for the benefit of Vermont.
Governor Proutys speech was by far the
most fruitful in this direction. He spoke
in general way of the desire to improve
our schools, roads and agricultural in
terests. He also called attention to the
new spirit that has been developed in the
work of the state industrial school at
Vergennes. He said the officers OF
the state no longer wanted to con-
slider the boys and girls sent there as
young criminals for punishment but to
utilize to the fullest extent the facilities
of the institution for their development
into good citizens. At the state hospital
for insane there is needed a criminal
ward where this class of patients can be
properly and safely cared for. The most
important of the governors suggestions
was that persons convicted simply OF in
toxication should not be confined and
treated the same as persons convicted of
more serious crimes. If confined at all it
should be under circumstances that
would facilitate their reform rather than
merely branding them as jail and prison
birds. He believed that a system of
parole in the case of such prisoners
would benefit both the state and the I'M
fortunate.
Lieut.. Gov. Mead indicated that in a
general way he was for everything good
that anyone else had mentioned and adj
vocated further investigation of making
of our cattle immune to tuberculosis
rather than slaughtering and paying for
a part of those diseased. He also
thought Vermont should devise some
method of giving its boys and girls a
more practical education, and we should
develop a higher appreciation for our
state.
In the few minutes they were speaking
these two gentlemen outlined important
changes They did not attempt to tell
everything the state needed and one
thing not mentioned was a reform in our
election methods. So Mr.. Fleetwood
thus far in the campaign is the only one
who has come out and frankly declared
that the use of money in Vermont cam
paigns should be restricted. Unless it is
so restricted there is danger that Yer
mont may soon become a pocket
borough to be bought up by any good
business man. who has made his pile
and wants political honors. Therefore
this is of enough Importance to call for
attention from the other candidate for
the governorship.

Indemnity for Injury.

The United States Steel Corporation
has announced plan of paying indenni-
ty to its employees injured in its service
without regard to the company's legal
liability in the matter. The trial sched
ule follows
For temporary disablement unmarried
men will receive IS per cent of their
wages and married men so per cent,
with an additional 5 per cent for each
child under 16 and per cent for each
year of service above five years. For
permanent injuries lump payments are
provided, based upon the extent to which
the injury interferes with employment
and the annual earning capacity of the
victim. Where an employee is killed his
family will receive a sum equal to his
wages for year and a halt, with an ad-
ditional 10 per cent for each child under
16 and per cent for each year of service
above five years. In cases of injury a
period OF 10 days must elapse before re-
lief begins"
In fixing this schedule it is possible the
company is doing the country as we'll as
its employees a real service. First it pro-
vides an indemnity that its employees can
secure without any legal expense. The
advantage of this to a workman with
out financial means to establish a claim
in court is too evident to need comment.
1t comes to him or to his family at a
time when it is most needed.
Then in fixing rate of damages the
company may be making safe precedent
for the rest of the country. One of the
uncertain and unequal features in dam
age suits is the amount of damages
awarded by a jury. There is no uniform
ity. In some cases the award is unrea-
sonably large. in Others unreasonably
small. In every case of damages the
sum is made fabulously large in the COM

A Deserved Tribute.

The Albany N. Y, Press Knicker-
bocker-Express is slightly mixed in talk
ing of Frank L. Greene, editor of the ST..
Adams Messenger as a candidate for
governor, but what that paper says Of
him as a man and citizen is fully de-
served and had it acclaimed him as the
future congressman from the First YER
mont district-when Mr.. Foster gets
ready to retire-it would in all probabili-
ty have told the exact truth. The follow
ing is from the April issue Of the Albany
s-Knickerbocker-Ex
Up in the little city of St. Adams, VT,
there is a newspaperman who has been
getting out newspaper that many a
larger city might envy. Clean in its
tone, up-to-date in it's makeup and alive
in its every detail the ST. Adams Messen-
ger is pointed to with pride by the whole
northern section of the Green Mountain
state.
Its editor Frank L. Greene, is a self
made man, and mighty good job he
has made oft.
For years, although he is still on the
sunny side of 40 years, Mr.. Greene has
steadily worked to make a state paper
of the Messenger, arguing with I'M
common common-sense that his location
forbade any attempt to try to compete
with the dailies of the larger cities. The
paper is Vermont paper par excellence,
as its editor is a Vermont editor par ex-
cellence.
And now they are going to make him
governor of the state. Despite the TACT
that he doesn't want to be governor. he
probably will have to be, as Vermonters,

Changers Making Fertilizers.
Randolph Grange meeting had an at
tendance of IT'S people Saturday night,
when a class of 16 candidates were in
itiated in the third and fourth degree.
The Harvest march, executed by 16
couples under the leadership of F. J. Bur-
nellie and Miss Lura Montgomery, was
something out of the usual order and
exceedingly well done. In its evolutions
figures of farm implements were formed,
such as the sickle. pruning knife, harrow,
shepherds crook, ak, shovel, etc. Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Badger had charge of
the supper and served a tempting repast
| of salads, cold meat, rolls. pickles, pies,
cake and coffee. Mr.. and Mrs. George
H. Slack will take charge of the program
| for the next meeting and intend to pre-
sent farce and a good order of music.
Many of the grangers have procured
chemicals to mix their own fertilizers
and are also buying grass seed at
| wholesale.

His Cause is Growing.

AS the returns begin to come in steadily
from all parts of Vermont, showing
beyond a doubt that the socalled
demand for Doctor Mead to be govern
or is a manufactured device, for the most
part, and does not represent the wishes
of the rank and file of the voters, at al,
the supporters of Fred 6. Fleetwood are
more and more encouraged at his pros
poets for securing the nomination.
When the canvass opened, the impress
ion was soon spread throughout the
state that the doctor had surrounded
himself with powerful political organi-
cation and was literally going to have
things his own way unless a still more
DO werful organization was put into the
field against him. The first reports
pretty much all reflected a foregone con-
clusion that the state of Vermont would
have to surrender to the forces of Mead.
horse, foot, and dragons, and the
power of repeated suggestion got in its
ed the field, therefore, in the opinion of
many men his cause was hopeless.
Now the tide is turning. Mr. Fleet
wood stands in the popular mind for
some of the very things that Doctor
Mead does not, and he stands as the
representative of the popular dis
approval of some of the things that
Doctor Mead stands for, or is believed to
stand for. The people are sick and tired
of the method and style of political can
vass being pursued by Doctor Mead and
they are welcoming the opportunity to
vote for a well qualified Vermonter
whose own idea of political ethics and
whose proposed platform are opposed to
that kind of a canvass. The official
record of Mr.. Fleetwood and his private
life are clean. He is representative
young man of the progressive element OF
Vermont Republicanism, and, if he is
made governor of Vermont, he will dis
charge the trust with credit to himself
and honor to the state.-[St. Albans

PRESS COMMENT.
AZ Awfu1 SITUATION.

The News recently endorsed the sug-
gestion of the Randolph Herald that the
Republicans of the several towns IN YER
mont send unpledged delegations to their
coming state convention, with the view
of independent action in the nomination
of strong candidate for governor.
In considering the matter more care
fully The News is appalled, at the pos
sible results of such an action If a
majority of the delegates assembled at
the convention unpledged in a choice for
governor and developed few strong
leaders it would be difficult to hold them
down to any presidents. Enthusiasm
among this independent" element
would undoubtedly enlist the sympathy
of many passive Mead supporters, who
would also join their ranks.
Under these conditions something
would be doing in the convention every
minute. This untagged delegation
might conclude to nominate for Cover
nor, the man who once before gave Yer
mont an exceedingly progressive admin
istration, ex-Gov. Fletcher D. Proctor;
and the ex-governor would be as helpless
in his refusal to serve the state again as
was ex-President Roosevelt in the
National Republican convention which
nominated him against his wishes, for
vice president Or the independents
concluding to take a new man might go
right up into Franklin county and nom
mate Charles w. Gates, who earlier re-
fused to be a candidate because he deem
ed it his duty to remain in a less exalt-
ed position until his term of office ex-
pired.
And then again, casting all the hoary
rules of politics aside this bold band free
of a collar or muzzle of any sort, might
head for the east side of the mountain
and insist that Gov. Prouty keep right
along in his splendid administrative
work. Or in the event of within for a
new man there would be Allen M
Fletcher, Joseph DeBoer and two or
three other well equipped men for chief
executive.
What a situation this would be in the
staid old Republican party. DR.. Mead,
who has worked and planned for some
years to break into the governorship,
left with only a couple of press agents. a
lot of clerks and stenographers, and a
little band of unenthusiastic followers,
while old Vermont moved forward a
quarter of cestury in single day.
The thought is appalling isn't it? But
the more,the voters think of it, the better
they will like it.-[Northheid News.
