In the matter of village cleaning
day tomorrow it is especially hoped,
that all alleys and the rear of proper
ty on Main street will be cleaned up
by property owners and tenants. This
Is not a matter of sentiment but af-
fects the health of the entire commu-
nifty. Clean streets and sidewalks will
make our village attractive. Cleanli-
ness in the places out of sight is an
absolute necessity.

Three more railroads have granted
an increase of wages to their men.
They will probably increase their
rates to pay the extra wage cost. 1t
is hard to say where the dividing line
comes in a matter of this kind but
there is no question but that all men
who work should receive reasonable
living wages-enough to enable them
to live decently and bring up their
families properly AT the same time
honestly conducted business interests
are entitled to a fair profit on their
investment. Selling prices for goods
and rates of transportation compan-
les should never be so low as to Grip
pie either the employer or employed
Some day this country is coming TO
an amicable adjustment of these
things and thus do away with the ex-
pensiye contests now common.

This is the last call for tomorrow's
village housekeeping day In some
western towns where public spirit
makes progress, every ablebodied
man, woman and child has turned out
at calls Of this kind and worked to
make their town as attractive as pos
sible Places Of business have been
closed a part Of the day in order TO
clean back yards Of business build
ings and similar half way public
spots which are usually the most I'M
slightly in town. Bennington is nat
urally one Of the most attractive
towns in New England and 1t ought
not to be necessary to urge people to
do their duty in a simple public SER
vice like this The Banner believes
that the people here are public spirit
ed and that we shall see tomorrow a
lot of work done toward village i'm
proyement.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE MAJESTIC.

In Menudaland' is the title of Fritz
Fields's musical and nonsensical skit at
the Majestic, beginning last night, and
II is the cleverest thing the Majestic has
produced in a long time. Every line of
Ii is clean, which is a relief from the
vulgar stuff that two alleged Dutch
comedians tried to palm off for comedy
for a while at the same playhouse. The
Fields comedy is burlesque on the
war in Nicaragua and the hero (the
author and prOducer) is a correspond
ent of the FL Paso Herald, who goes
after news and pictures and falls in
love with an heireSS, thwarts Helaya,
starts a revolution on his own hook
and causes a general topsy-turviness
that must be surprising even in a Cen
trail American republic. The produc-
ton is full of laughable lines and good
musical numbers, with an electrical
number that is well worth seeing. Nat
Wentworth as Gen. Zeiaya does some
good work and sings well. Tom Burns
and Walter Wilson are also good in
their parts and Wilson's dancing is a
feature. 1t is the best male cast the
Majestic has ever had. The chorus is
well costumed and drilled and also
well up in its work. Mildred Manning
and LOttie O'Malley are only fair in
their roles, the latter somewhat anna
flourish. But Fields is most of the
show and good one at that

FIRST CEMENT TO
BE MADE FEB. ]
Arrangements Completed to
Roast the First Ell Paso
Output There.

February first will be a red letter
day in the history of Ell Paso manu-
featuring. On that day ii is expected
to produce the first sack of made in
FL Paso" cement in the plant OF the
Southwestern Portland Cement com
pany. General manager o. J. Binford
stated recently that it was expected to
manufacture the first sack of CONNER
ciaI cement on that day and that the
big plant near the Smelter would con-
tinue to run night and day from that
time on. The big grinding mills are
now running out the materials that
will make up the cement to be roasted
on the first of February.
Orders are now being taken for the
made in FL Paso" brand of cement.
S. c.. McCurdy, sales manager for the
new plant, is organizing a corps of
travelling statesmen who will cover the
entire southwest in introducing and
selling the product of the Ell Paso
plant. Samuel Lewis, of Ell Paso; w.
L. Woods, of Boston, and R. f. Hines,
of Pueblo, have been employed as the
travelling representatives of the cement
company and they will boost the Ell
Paso made goods in this section.

Liddy brought me some tea while I
rested after my trip. and on the tray
was a small book from the Casanova
library. Tt was called THE Unseen
World" and had cheerful cover, on
which a half-dozen sheeted figures
linked hands around a headstone.
At this point in my story, Halsey
always says: Trust woman to add
two and two together, and make six"
To which I retort that if two and two
plus X makes six, then to discover the
unknown quantity is the simplest
thing in the world. That a houseful
OF detectives missed 1t entirely was
because they were busy trying to
prove that two and two make four.

seeing Halsey again that night. It
was about five o'clock when Liddy
left me for nap before dinner, haV-
ing put me into gray silk dressing
gown and pair of slippers listened
to her retreating footsteps, and as
soon as she was safely below stairs
] >went up to the trunkroom. The
place had not been disturbed. and
proceeded at once to try to discover
the entrance to the hidden room. The
openings on either side, as l have
said, showed nothing but perhaps
three feet of brick wall. There was
no sign Of an entrance-no levers. no
hinges, to give a hint Either the
mantel or the roof, 1 decided, and aft
er half-hour at the mantel, produc-
tive of absolutely no result, 1 decided
to try the roof
I am not fond of height. The few
occasions on which I have climbed a
step-ladder have always left me dizzy
and weak in the knees The top of
the Washington monument is as i'm
possible to me as the elevation to the
presidential chair And yeti
climbed out on the Sunnyside roof
without a seconds hesitation. Like
dog on a scent, like my bear-skin
progenitor, with his spear and his
wild boar, to me now there was the
lust of the chase, the frenzy OF pur-
suit, the dust of battle. 1 got quite a
little Of the latter on me as l climbed
from the unfinished ballroom out
through window to the roof of the
east wing of the building, which was
only two stories in height
Once out there, access to the top Of
the main building was rendered easy
at least it looked easy-by a small
vertical iron ladder, fastened to the
wall outside of the ballroom, and per-
haps IL feet high. The II feet looked
short from below, but they were diff
fcult to climb. / gathered my silk
gown around me, and succeeded final
" in making the top Of the ladder.
Once there, however, l was complete
~ out Of breath. l sat down, my feet
Oh the top rung, and put my hair-pins
in more securely, while the wind bel
lowed my dressing-gown out like a
sail 1 had torn a great strip of the
silk loose, and now I ruthlessly I'm
ished the destruction of my gown by
jerking it free and tying it around my
head.
Luckily, the roof was fat, and l
was able to go over every inch Of 1t. But
the result was disappointing; no trap
door revealed itself, no glass window;
nothing but a couple Of pipes two
inches across, and standing perhaps
1S inches high and three feet apart,
with a cap to prevent rain from en-
tering and raised to permit the pas
sage of air. / picked up a pebble
from the roof and dropped it down,
listening with my ear at one OF the
pipes. 1 could hear it strike on some
thing with a sharp metallic sound,
but it was impossible for me to tell
how far it had gone.
1 gave up finally and went down the
ladder again, getting in through the
ballroom window without being OBJ
served. l went back at once to the
trunkroom, and, sitting down on
box, gave my mind, as consistently as
/ could, to the problem before me. If
the pipes in the roof were Ventilators

trap-door above, the entrance was
probably in one of the two rooms be-
