The new short waists or blouses are
made in a variety OF styles. Lingerie
waists are developed in lawn, batiste,

laces, Val or embroidery.
Although full length sleeves are in evi.

lengths are used.
Jumpers will again be used this spring

B. & M. TO REACH MONTPELIER.
Acquires Controlling Interest in M. &
w. and Barre Roads.

Parties in the interest Of the Yer
mont Valley Railroad company, a cor
porati0n of the state of Vermont, have
bought the interest of the Sortwell es-
tate in the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad, the Barre railroad and the
Barre railway. This announcement was
made Tuesday afternoon from the Of
fees of the New York. New Haven &
Hartford railroad at New Haven. 1t
is further stated that as soon as the
legal preliminaries can be arranged,
become part of the Boston & Maine
railroad system and thereafter be oper-
ated as part of the same.
The announcement of this purchase
and its projected merger with the Bos-
ton d Maine discloses new step taken
by the New Haven company in its con-
test against the Grand Trunk. This
newly acquired line reaches from Wells
River to Montpelier. with branches to
Barre and to one or two other points,
the whole including about GO miles of
road; The line is a pretty old one, hav-
ing been opened in 1873, and of late
years, excepting in one year. has paid 5
per cent upon its stock of 100000
At Wells River it connects with the
Boston & Maine and at Montpelier with
the Vermont Central. which is leased to
the Grand Trunk. 1t is understood to
have been a valuable feeder to the
Grand Trunk system. particularly in
connection with the Barre quarries.
The Sortwell estate possessed con-
trolling interest in all three lines which
have Just changed hands. The three
roads were controlled BY former Mayor
Alvin F. Sortwell of Cambridge. who
died last year. Hitherto. the Boston
g. Maine lines have had no direct CON
nection with Montpelier or Barre. Out
side of the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad. the Central Vermont has had
no competition. The acquisition of the
three smaller roads will give the Bos.
ton & Maine direct entrance into the
important granite fields of Central Vcl-
mont.

tribute to the retiring town clerk and re
ferred to the many striking characteristics
of Judge New ION, chief of which, he be
lieved, was ne answering adherence to
the belief that the public records were
matters not to be discussed Mr.. Calvin
offered the following resolution which was
UNANIMOUSLY adopted
Resolved: Whereas Hon William
s. Newton has served the town OF
Brattleboro as its town clerk contln-
uously for AS years, and has always
given faithful, efficient and conscien-
tious service; and
Whereas, after careful considera-
ton and desiring to pass the remaining
years free from the cares of public
office, he declines reelection; there
fore
Resolved, That the town hereby
express to Judge Newton its sincere
appreciation of his faithful work and
long service to the public; and
ssPaco1,-al That Tnd0a Nautnp ia
hereby granted the right to use the
town clerks office of Brattleboro, so
far as he may desire, as his personal
office and headquarters without charge
as long as he may live; and
Resolved, That the town express
the hope that Judge Newton may have
many years of pleasant life and COM
fort"
Judge Newton was elected town clerk
March 3, 1868. He never failed to read
the warning for the annual town meet
ing through the 4S years of his service ex-
cept twice. The first time was shortly
after his election and the second and
last time was last year. He was i'll on
both occasions However, last year he
appeared in the meeting before it adj
journed. He was elected justice of the
peace in September, 1868, and has held
the office continuously to date. AS JUS
tice of the peace Judge Newton has mar
ried 500 couples. In the capacity of a
trial justice it is said that he has probably
tried over 1000 cases.
The story of Judge Newton's long and
honorable career has been told at various
times within the last decade and is more
or less familiar to readers of The Re
former. He was born in Marlboro, June
26, 1922. He was the second of three
sons of Captain William and Betsey (Har-
ris) Newton. The eldest was Roswell H.
Newton, who died in West Brattleboro,
Sept, 8, 1897. The youngest, Levi New
ton, carries on farm at North Dana,
Mass. Judge Newton is of the seventh
in descent from Richard New
ton, who came from England and settled
in Southboro, Mass, about 1850. Cotton
Newton, Of the fifth generation, grand
father Of William Sawyer Newton, was a
soldier Of the Revolution, and was an early
settler in Marlboro, coming to Vermont
from Berlin, Mass, in the fall of 1898.

Result of Tuesdays Vote Throughout

Under the local option liquor law which

with the 20 Of 1910.

SENSIBLE METHODS.

The largest no-license majority ever reg
istered in Brattleboro is convincing proof
that the people are satisfied with condi-
lions as they have existed the past year
that an actually dry town is what they
want And in view of the verdict there
is no reason to expect that the policy of
the local authorities will be changed in
any way during the coming year. The big
vote against license at Tuesdays town
meeting is tribute to the efficiency of the
sane, common-sense methods of those who
had the campaign in charge. The argu-
ments which they advanced were force
full yet temperate, convincing but not ia
natical. No effort was made to inflame
prejudice, by gory-hued portraits of the
Demon Rum, because the men in charge
of the no-license campaign knew that such
an appeal would only harm their cause
by reason of its very intemperance. In
all of their arguments they considered the
liquor question from an economic stand
point, appealing simply to the sound
judgment of the townspeople on matter
Of business policy. The Brattleboro no.
license forces would no more think of
allowing professional rum fighter like
Ferguson to participate in local campaign
than they would of offering bottle of beer
for every no vote
One does not have to be a prohibition
list or a believer in no-lcense to admire
the methods by which Tuesdays verdict
against the legalized sale Of liquor in Brat
tleboro was brought about. Compared
with those to which resort was made in
this town not many years ago they pre-
sent an indisputable argument against in
temperance in thought and action regard
less of the motives which inspire it; they
give ground for hope that sensible solu-
ton of the problem of regulating the liquor
evil is not so very far distant after all;
they strengthen the belief of intelligent
people that every community can best
settle the liquor question for itself, and
that this settlement can be brought about
only by means of local option. If the no.
license believers in every town in Vermont
would view the subject in the broad
minded way that those in Brattleboro do
and set about their work in accordance
with this view there would be no reason
for talking about return to statewide
prohihition

After serving the town OF Brattleboro
for IS years as the town clerk Judge
William ;. Newton has resigned and his
assistant. Carl $. Hopkins, has been elect
ed 10 the office. The idea that Judge
Newton would resign probably never en-
tered the minds of the rank and file Of the
citizens OF the town. for though the years
have brought him nfirmlties he has con.
tinued 20 wear the same genial smile and
TO give the same warm handgrasp that
have endeared him 10 so many people.
The announcement made in town meeting
Tuesday that Judge Newton had resigned
came as distinct surprise 10 all except
few to whom the venerable town clerk
had coniided his intention. That his
service has been appreciated by the citi-
zens Of the town was manifested Tues.
day when il was voted TO extend To Judge
Newton. a. long as he shall live, the use
OF the town clerks Office as his personal
headquarters.
Judge Newton's resignation was present.
