Easuord and Woodstock School Reports
Na4faN I'l'Ys

The attendance in the Woodstock
and the Eastford schools during JanG-
ary was very low. an many cases the
poor attendance was due TO the severe
storms and the hard colds that came
with the storm.
1t would be delightful to speak OF
the many brave boys and brave girls
who have come TO school every day,
even though the storms were severe.
This, however, would take toe much
time.
| cannot refrain from speaking high
" of the excellent attendance of three
schools; namely, the English Neigh
borhood school taught by Miss Sarah
Potter. the Quasset school taught by
Miss Anna Nelson, and the Axe Fac
tory school taught by Miss Phila Cur
It's. In Miss Pottefs school three pu-
pills live over two and one.half miles
from the school, in Miss Nelson's Il
pupils live over one mile from her
school. and three of these live over one
and one. half mile; in Miss Curtis
school two pupils live over one and
and-quarter mile. Considering the dis
tances these pupils had to travel and
considering the travelling, we must
look upon these schools with much
pride, and We must all feel like con-
graduating them for their pluck.

The success of one Minnesotan
In lifting the scalp of the palace
car trust has influenced another
trust-buster from the same
state to go after the express
trust with renewed energy. When
Ben Sundberg, a Minnesota farm
er, heard of the great victory won
by Geo. s. Lotus. a st. Paul mer-

ago, when the Pullman Car. Co. g

by the commission more with an
eye to the public's welfare than
the company itself had ever seen
fit to regulate them, Sundberg
pressed his case against the ex-
press companies with greater
vigor.
The interstate commerce COM
mission has been taking evil

big anti-express monopoly case
ever tried in the country. Sund-
berg is right on the spot fighting
for the rights of every shipper

sundberg has paid the expenses
of lawyers who have been all over
the country taking testimony. He
has been met everywhere by the
bitterest opposition and tightly
sealed lips. and still he got evil
dence which, he says, will convict
every express company in the
country of Illegal practices.
He says that his evidence will
prove that the express companies
work together without competi-
ton and monopolize the business;
that they secretly establish the
rules and fix the rates which they
enforce throughout the country.

held his charge about its rates
being unequal and entirely too
high for the service it rendered.
The commission hit the car COM
pany good and hard when it de-
cided that upper berths should
not cost as much as lower ones.
There were also some other points
in the decision that gave the
palace car trust bad taste.
Sundberg was a state senator
five years ago and also a farmer.
One warm summer day piece of
casting on one of the farm inn
plements broke, and he tele-
graphed to Minneapolis, 100 miles
away, for new casting. 1t came
by-express all right, but with an
express bill of $32. The casting
cost but $3.50. 1t didn't take
Sundberg long to realize that he
had been soaked"
He looked around and saw that
his friends and neighbors were
getting the same sort of treat
ment from. the express carriers.
He studied the matter over, but
as a state legislator found he
must go higher.
The interstate commerce COM
mission was his goal, and he
started toward that point at once.
He is rich and can we'll afford to
pay any express rate demanded,
but it is not for himself that he
has been fighting; it is for his
