The Randolph Center Purchase.

The deal by which the state of Yer
mont comes into possession of con-
siderable real estate in Randolph for
the new state agricultural school,
however advantageous K may be for
the purposes intended, is neyerthe-
less somewhat OF a detriment, since
it deprives Vermont of one of its
summer hotels, 1t being the intention
to transform the hotel on the proper
ty into dormitory There are so
few summer hotels in Vermont at the
present time that to lose even one of
them Is to seriously cripple the state
in capabilities for entertaining the
people who may wish to come among
us for brief stays, and the loss comes,
too, just when there is the greatest
demand for the erection OF hotels
for this purpose, The Maplewood In
the town of Randolph was well stu.
ated for the entertainment OF sum
mer visitors, having pleasant sur.
roundings in a quiet spot OF Vermont
Hence, the dismentihg OF the build
ing as hotel will be noted with re-
greet with people who are anxious to
have Vermont take q prominent place
in the summer resort business, yet
they are forced to admit that for the
purposes of the new agricultural
school the hotel property is fairly
well equipped-Barre Times.

Curious Custom That Prevails In East.

Curious Custom That Prevails In East.
ern Bavaria.
In the eastern half Of Bavaria, says
a writer in the Wide World Magazine.
on the borders of Bohemia, lies the so
called Bayarian forest This part Of
the country, although 1t boasts beaut;-
full scenery, is seldom visited by tour
lists, probably for the reason that the
charms of the region are little known
even in Germany. This part OF Bava.
ria has been in many ways untouched
by civilization, and owing to its seclu
sion from the outer world some very
strange customs are still in vogue,
strongly reminding one Of the middle
ages
One Of these strange customs, strict
ly observed by the population. is the
way in which they keep alive The
memory OF their dead by the erection
of what are called "totenbretter." or
death boards" These are wooden
planks cut in the shape OF tombstones
and roughly painted Sometimes they
bear also the image Of a saint They
are erected often in a row Of thirty
and mOre--on the roadside. in fields
and meadows. near chapels and cruel
fixes, in the village streets-in short,
everywhere, they are even nailed 10
houses and barns.
They do not mark burial places. as
might be supposed AS soon as a per.
son has died the corpse q put on a
board, and there 1t lies IN state until II
is put into the coffin shortly before the
funeral These boards. then. are the
so called death boards and after the
funeral they are cut into suitable
shape and decorated with an lnscrip-
ton containing the name OF the de
ceased. his age and in most cases
some lines Of poetry
These short poems. which are. of
course. meant in sober earnest. are oc-
cnsionally very amusing The boards
are then stuck somewhere near the
road or In the fields. where they some
times accumulate Ia m alarming nurr
Der In the poorer districts thr>,

GAYNOR MENTIONED AS
PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY
Missouri Democrats Invite New York's
Mayor to Jefferson
Banquet

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Mayor Gaynor
is likely presidential timber in the eyes
of some Missouri Democrats. He re-
ceived a letter today inviting him to
attend a dinner in Springfield, Mo-, on
April 16, the one hundred and sixty
seventh anniversary of the birth of
Thomas jefferson. The invitation in
Inmates that he is looked on in Missouri
as the national leader of the Democ-
racy for 1912.
The mayor has not signified his as
sent, but it is understood arrange
ments are under way to launch his
boom whether he attends or not.
Those acquainted with the movement
here say that Col. Henry Watterson
has been asked to propose the toast,
Has New York Another Tilden?" and
that former Judge Augustus Van
Wyck has been asked to answer, "Yes.
1.-THE people of this section are much
interested in the splendid work you
are doing for the cause of good govern
ment," the invitation reads, '"and we
will be prepared to give you an en-
thusiastic welcome.
missouri Democrats are already
anticipating a victory in 1912, and
many are beginning to believe that
New York will, furnish our national
leader"

PLAN WEEKLY REPORT
ON ROAD CONDITIONS
AUTO CLUB TO DISSEMINATE
NEWS
Information Will Be of Special Value
to the Touring Class in
Southern CALI
fornia

Leonard f. Block, superintendent OF
road signs for the Automobile club OF
Southern California, is devising means
for a more thorough posting of road
news in the office of the club, 32S
South Hill street. The purpose Is 70
have a weekly report on road condl-
tions in every county under the jur1s-
diction of the club.
The Importance of this was empha-
sized last Sunday, when fifty five au-
tomobile parties went to Riverside
The road from Crestmore in to River
side is in bad condition, owing TO the
recent storms, and in some instances
this fact was not known. There are
also other roads in bad condition. Mr'
Blocks idea is to have a complete re-
port each week of all the auto roads
in the country. This can be obtained
from the supervisors and the road
masters, and will be Of assistance, not
only to automobile men, but to every
person who has occasion to use the
roads. 1t will tend also, he says, to
bring to notice many needs of repairs,
so that roads will not lie out of repair
for such lengths of time.

REDMOND ANNOUNCES
HIS POLICY AT BANQUET
Nationalist Leader Says Ireland Is
More United Than Ever for
Home Rule

DUBLIN, Feb. 10.-John p. Red
mond. who today was reelected pres
ident of the national directory of the
United Irish league. made an import
ant announcement of his policy at a
banquet given in his honor tonight.
He said that the league was cele-
brating the successful campaign for
home rule in Ireland. Ireland had now
a party of seventy-two members, more
united and more powerful than any
Irish party in the past, and never
again in their lifetime would men,
nominally pledge-bound members of
the party, be permitted to discredlt
their colleagues and thwart the par
tvs policy.
Mr.. Redmond said he believed Mr..
Asquith was a man of his word. For
the government to pass the budget and
postpone the lords veto question was q
policy that Ireland could not and
would not approve, but if Premier AS
ouith stood to his pledges he would
have the support of the Irish party.

WEIGH CAR IN THE LEAD

Among the many high class auto

car is noticeable for the interest be-
ing taken in it by many admiring Vis-
pftors. This handsome model 1910 car
being shown by Blinn & Kinehan,
agents for Southern California, is one
of the fanciest high class cars of the
show, and the display in booth num-
ber seven is a kind of a rendezvous for
many enthusiasts during the display
hours
AS Manager Kinehan of the Welch
agency in Los Angeles says: 1T is
one of the pleasures of participating in
show of this kind to exhibit high
class car that proves the center of at
traction to visitors. The Welch contin-
ues to hold it's own as it has always
done in open competition with the
high class cars of the best makes,
and we feel good over the fact that
we are Offering the automobile lovers
of Southern California in the Welch,
a car that is known all over the
world for it's many advantages. Many
of the globe trotters of the country,
who travel with their own autos when
on pleasure trips are owners of Welch
cars, and this is substantial evidence
of the popularity of our cars"

Cotton will be given franchises. Be
sides these towns the organizers of the
league who are composed of some of
the most influential baseball men IN

tions from numerous other towns in
