Gone to Cooler Climate.

Mr.. J. G. Sheppard. Jr, whose
low state of health forthe past year
has been matter of deepest con-
Germ to his almost numberless
friends, is better than he has been
for some time. He left for Ashe-
vile Tuesday to remain throughout
the heated term. Mr.. Sheppard was
accompanied by his father, Ex-
Gov. ]. C. Sheppard, and his train
ed nurse. The latter will remain
with him. While Mr.: Sheppard is
in Asheville he will stay at the
Biltmore sanitarium which has been
erected and splendidly equipped by
Mr.. Geo. w. Vanderbilt, the multi
millionaire 'who has done so much
for Asheville. We hope that John
as the writer prefers to call his
young friend--will return at the
close of summer greatly strengthen
ed and improved in health.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?

No, never. Its foolish to fear q
fancied evil, when there are real
and deadly perils to guard against
in swamps and marshes, bayous and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and
fever, weakness, aches in the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters des-
troys and casts out these vicious
germs in the blood. Three bottles

a charming address from the teach:

lightful evening in the fresh spring

fear Miss Powell will miss her little
pupils very much but not more than
they will miss her. We wish he1

Unpleasant Census EIoures

Elsewhere in this paper the Jour
nal prints today figures showing the
comparative gain or loss of all the
cities and towns OF the state with the
exception of those organized in re-
cent years by division of municipal
tiles. The facts presented are not
what Vermonters will enjoy reading.
They are printed not with any inten-
tion Of humiliating Vermont or any
town in Vermont. but rather in the
hope that a contemplation OF condit-
ions as they actually exist may prove
an incentive TO a greater effort than
has been made in recent years to an
attempt to make the census figures
OF Vermont for 1920 tell another and
better story.
Ninety-eight towns or two-fifths Of
the entire 246 show a smaller popu-
lation than they had when Vermont
was admitted to the Union in 1871.
The first census in the state was Ia
ken that year because Vermont had
not been admitted in 1890 when the
first enumeration was made In the
original thirteen states.
There are i'm Vermont today LAG
towns, or three-fifths of the entire
number that contain q smaller popu.
lation than they had in 1910. a cen
fury ago. There are in this state at
the present time 1872 towns or prac-
tically three-fourths of the total num-
Der, that contain fewer inhabitants
now than in 1860, previous TO the Civ
il War.
In Addison county not a town
shows its maximum OF population in
1910. Bristol is thriving village but
1t has lost a little during the past
decade. The population of Vergen-
mes is less than that of 1870 and that
OF Middlebury less than in 1880.

Mass lchusetts, is just publishing a
volume in which he gives the credit
OF the capture of Ticonderoga to
Connecticut and Vermont provincials
headed by Ethan Allen and Benedict
Arnold AS a matter of fact there
were only 16 Connecticut men in the
attacking party, nearly three times
as many men came from Western
Massachusetts and the rest were
Green Mountain boys. Arnold was
present with a single supporter. He
claimed command and as he acted
like fractions child, was permitted
to go along as second in command.
The capture OF Ticonderoga was
planned by John Brown of Pittsfield,
Mass. who visited Vermont in March
1875, at the direction of Sam Adams
before the battles of Lexington and
Concord, and who reported to the
Massachusetts patriots that the
Green mountain boys were ready to
take the fortress when the signal
should be given. The part that Arm
old played at Ticonderoga was incon-
sequential, the soldiers fatty refusing
to permit him to direct their opera
tions.
Outside the state of Vermont the
history OF that state appears to be
misunderstood 1t can be studied

Correcting Vermont History

Vermont history appears to be
stumbling-block for the average pres
ent day historian and publisher fol-
rarely do the actual facts get printed
Nearly all the works published out
side the state declare that the first
settlement in Vermont was made
at Fort Dummer in Brattleboro In
1924. For long time even the early
Vermont historians believed this TO
be the fact, but II has been we'll es-
tablished by reserach that the first
settlement was made at Fort Anne in
Isle La Motto, Grand Isle county in
1865. This settlement was made by
the French and the one at Fort DUN.
mer by the English.
The publisher OF a chart of lead
ing events in American history just
issued says that Vermont was set of
from New York In 1891 and made a
state The facts are that New York
never had more than a smudgy color
title to Vermont, never was able to
exercise jurisdiction over il and from
l777 to 1891 Vermont was an indie

$4,000 FOR LOST LOVE
Perelval L. Harden Brought Suit for
$4,000

New York, March 25-A supreme
court jury reported Thursday to JUS
tice Pendleton, a verdict of $4,000
Tor Percival l.. Harden against Viii
liam T. Hoops for the alienation of
the affections of Maud Aline Sulliv-
n Harden Hoops Hoops married
he woman after she had obtained a
Chicago divorce from Harden.
Hoops created some excitement by
interrupting the summing up of |. N.
jacobson, Harden's lawyer. Jacob
son charged Hoops with having die
tated letter written to Harden by
the woman in the case, who was then
Harden's wife.
1T was not written from the bot
tom of her heart" he said 1T was
written from the bottom of Hoops
heart and that came when she was
very happy with her husband and
when she had just returned from a
two months vacation in the coun'
try; and right on top of reconcilia-
ton"
You're a liarl" shouted Hoops at
the top of his voice.
He had been getting redder and red
der under the sting of the lawyers
remarks, and had half risen from his
seat by the time the outburst came.
Bang went Justice Pendleton's
gavel, and the broker defendant sank
back into his chair.
You will be committed to Jail for
contempt of court if hear another
word from YOU calculated the JUS
tice, glazing at Hoops.
Mr. Jacobson then proceeded with
his speech without further Interrupt
ton
Wales F. Severance, counsel for
Hoops, declared in his summing up
that Harden had forfeited his wife's
respect and love by his actions with
other women and that she had no af-
lection for him which any one could
ALLEVIATE.
Justice Pendleton allowed six days
for counsel to submit briefs on the
application of Wales F. Severance,
counsel for Hoops to have the verdict
set aside
Harden sued Hoops for $4,000
damages He married Miss Sullivan

was a cloak model They came tc
this city and Hoops a close friend OF

He asserted that the divorce was
invalid as she was not a resident OF

Accordingly, as 1000 men went home
under the influence of liquor in one
night 1000 licenses would be suspend

they could not buy any more drinks,
