Get Your Money Back

1t is the custom of most success
full newspapers to periodically make
special efforts to increase its list of
subscribers and induce old ones to
pay up. The Review is going to do
the same thing-only in a different
way. Instead of sending out of
town for premiums, this paper will
keep the money at home by giving
it to the advertising patronage of
the Review. Every old subscriber
and every new one gets exactly the
same treatment. We want those in
arrears to pay up and one year in
advance.
Every new subscriber who pays
one year in advance will receive an
order for goods for IS cents on any
regular advertising patron OF
the Review, payable in trade. The
subscriber gets the goods free--sav-
ing IS cents. Old subscribers re-
ceive the same treatment.
This proposition holds good only
with advertisers having an ad in
the Review in the issue nearest the
time the subscription is paid. The
subscriber must specify the adver.
tiser on whom the order is to be
given, as the Review has NJ favor
ties. No regular advertiser is ex-
cepted, whether 1t is furniture,
drugs, dry goods, groceries, physi.
clan, attorney, laundry, sand and
gravel, or any other advertiser-it
is all one TO us. This opportunity
to get your money back will hold
good until June Ist. a penny
saved is a penny earned, so now is
your chance.

English lady of Memphis, Tenu.,
who was possessed of great personal
beauty. She died in May, 1910.
Soon after his marriage he came
north and purchased OF Herbert III.
Daniels, in 1867, the farm which
has since been his home. He entered
the employ OF the old Vermont
Central as engineer, leaving to
accept the position as erecting
engineer for the Baldwin Locomotive
Works.
He was the inventor of the Dunbar
piston packing, which is used on
every locomotive in the world today.
After 80 years OF faithful service with
the Baldwin company he retired to
his farm home.
While in the employ of the Bald
win Locomotive Works he travelled
through every state and territory OF
the United States and many foreign
countries. Occasionally he took an
active part in village and town
affairs. He is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Alice Collins; one
son, Henry league Dunbar, the
owner of many fine horses; one
granddaughter, Vivian Collins, al |
of North Hartland; a brother. Fred,
of Woodsville, N. H.. +; two sisters,
Mrs. Helen Bagley of Minneapolis,
MINI, Mrs. Frances Martin of
California.
The last sad services were held at
his late home Thursday, January 10.
The aged man was tenderly laid at
rest by the side of his wife in Hart
land village cemetery,

On a Salary Basis.

TIE House on Wednesday adopted
joint resolution introduced by Mr.
Billings of Woodstock which looks
toward the placing our lawmakers on
salary instead Of per diem basis
"a per diem arrangement which
made for for the emolument of legis-
lators, and perhaps for longer SEES
sions.
This seems to be step in advance,
and is in line with other New Eng
land states and New York. Massa-
chusetts pays $3.50 annually, New
Hampshire 5000 (oficers $250),
Connecticut $500, Maine $500,
New York $500.
Vermont has been paying about
$400 per session, and $4,000 mile
age. On salary basis the length of
the session will be lessened, to the
profit of the state.
This lawmaking business is a
great junket for surprising number
of duly elected representatives,
though some go there to work This
condition of affairs is one of the
things which Republican domination
has done for Vermont They have
been doing what they please in their
tirmly-seated complacency, but there
are wholesome signs of dissatisfac-
ton and of an Opposition that may
make them much trouble.

shafer to coach JAP naII ream.

Japan is taking rapid steps toward
adopting baseball as an extensive
sport. The waseda college Of Tokyo
has gone so far as to engage Arthur
Shafer, utility inflelder Of the New
York Giants, to coach and play with
its nine, and Shafer has departed to
take up the work of instructing the
Nipponese college lads about the In
side points OF our national pastime.
The Waseda college is going to great
expense In having shafer come and
teach baseball. as he was forwarded
transportation and will receive large
salary for the couple Of months he In
tends to stay In Japan. shafer is a
former Santa CLARA ball player. Three
years ago he was the star shortstop
OF that nine and In 1908 was taken
east by Johnny McGraw and given a
tryout with the Giants. Last year he
served as utility infielder and knows
enough Of inside baseball to be profit
able to the Japanese team.

ABBOTT LIBRARY NOTES.
AS the books given to our schools
by Mrs. F. s. Mackenzie have no con-
nection whatever with the Abbott
Public Library, our townspeople
suggested that we have special
book plate for them, bearing the
name of the giver and the name of
the school to which they are given.
This is strictly a town affair and
the book plates will soon be printed
: On Saturday afternoon, Jan 81,
the trustees of Pomfret Public library
met here, to consider the matter of
buying books for the town. The two
libraries were examined, and the
points in which they were the weak
est were noted.
AT this meeting Judge Charles r..
Markham was chosen chairman; Mrs
Abba ID. Chamberlin, secretary; and
Oliver G.. Bugbee, treasurer.
The books most needed by the
town at the present time were dis
cussed by those present, and Carl G.

were appointed committee to carry
out the wishes of the trustees in the
selection and purchase of books.

Gossip and Scandal.

Many people confuse gossip with
scandal. but the two things are quite
different. The scandalmonger is usu-
ally detested, while the gossip is often
universally popular. In fact, the popu-
iarity which 1t brings in its train is
one of the strongest Incentives to Cos
sip. A really accomplished gossip is a
social acquisition. Thousands of peo-
pie who do not gossip themselves like
to. listen to 1t. 1t saves them the trou-
BILE Of talking. The gossip is general
" good natured, The scandalmonger
seldom Is. After all, what Is more in

Professor Budenich has been coach

The president Is said to be not op-
