OF the new scheme there were no
compensating offerings, no great ef-
fort to make the social life OF the
Guard worth while to the members,
no place OF attractiveness, to which
the members might gather And ev-
Ell now Montpelier's company is fight
ing to retain what it has. Therefore
one of the imperative duties OF the
state, if it wishes TO continue its
military department, is to direct its
attention toward properly housing the
several companies. 4 move toward
that end was made at the most recent
session of the legislature, but it did
MT go far. Armories must be erect

perhaps with the cooperation of the
places where the companies are To-
Gated. That will be the first step to-

ions to the militia, or else it won't

ON SIX COUNTS
Herbert Myrlek Indicted for Fraudu
lent Use of the Mails.

Washington. July 21.-Herbert My
rick of Springfield, Mass. publisher
Of several agricultural publications
which claim to have a total circula-
ton of 100000, was indicted on six
counts of fraudulent use of the mails.
The charges ranged from classifying
the circulation OF his publications TO
using improper means in gaining sub
scribers.
Inspector Sharpe of the postoffce
department has been investigating
the Myrick publishing house for
more than year. His agents report
ed that Myrick's publications are
primarily advertising publications,
and as such have no right to the
cent pound rate granted to bonafide
magazines.
Last April the postoffice depart.
men trefused the use of the mails to the
Orange Judd Northwest Farstead on
the grounds that it was not within
the regulations covering matter mail
able at second-class rates.
On April Is the postofIiee depart
ment granted Myrick a hearing on
the contention that his publications
were being withheld from the mails
illegally. Myrick, who claims to be a
potent factor in the political life of
the great agricultural districts of the
country, induced nine Senator'S and
several representatives to attend the
hearing.
He published widely charges in the
form of brief against the depart
ment, alleging that his publications
were being thrown out OF the mails
on account of his activity in politics.
Third Asst Postmaster General Britt
within a week OF the hearing advised
Myrick that the department found
about 40 per cent OF Myrick's sub
scription list was Illegal An order
was issued depriving Myrick of the
use of the mails for those portions OF
his subscribers condemned by Mr.
Britt. Myrick also paid fine of 3d.
GOO for improper use Of the mails on
| the old subscription lists.
