State Aid For Libraries.

Every live town should have some
sort of free public library, no matter
how small. Towns that realize the i'm
portance of such library to all citizens,
young, old and middle-aged, and wish
to establish library, can obtain State
Aid to the extent of $4,000 in books.
How?
Insert in the warning for town meet
ing the following articles:
l. To see if the town will elect a
board of library trustees and instruct
such board to make application to the
State Board of Library Commissioners
for state aid.
2. To see what sum, if any, the town
will appropriate for the maintenance of
a free public library.
If the grand list of the town is less
than So, 500, the sum must not be less
than SIS.
If the grand list is more than 50, 500,
yet less than $4,000, the sum to be
appropriated must not be less than S25.
If the grand list is $40, 600, or more,
the sum to be raised must be not less
than $50. Many towns show their de-
sire for civic improvement by raising
much higher sums than the state re-
quires of them.
While it is the duty of the Commission
to decide upon the books to be furnished
a town, suggestions from the librarians
and trustees in each town regarding
the selection of the books are always
gladly received and acted upon when
in the judgment of the Commission the
books requested are such as ought to
be purchased.
Further information will be furnished
gladly by the members of the Commits.

MASSACHUSETTS MATTERS.
State Grange Will Meet at Worcester
Dec. 1915.

Plans are we'll under way for the
annual session of the Massachusetts
state grange, which is to be held this
year in Worcester on Dec. IS. ii and
10. 1t is expected to be the largest
session ever held by the Order in that
state, and plans are being made ac-
cordingly. For the big meeting of
Wednesday evening, when the sixth
degree is conferred, Mechanics hall
has been engaged. Worcester is such
center for the entire state and is as
easily reached from scores of oranges
that it is believed that the big hall
can be easily filed, so long as Patrons
know there will be plenty of room for
them if they do come This Wednes-
day night meeting promises to be o
memorable one for it's enthusiasm and
power.
The appointment of George w. Trull
of Tewksbury as member of the
Massachusetts dairy bureau for term
of three years after serving for the
balance of three months Of an unex-
pired term is recognition to a well
known member of the grange. Mr..
Trull is a past master of the Tewks-
bury grange At the present time Mr..
Trull is serving as a member of the
special commission that is to report
to the next legislature a bill solving
the problem of milk inspection in Mas
sachusetts, the present system having
met with much criticism from the
farmers.
Fred f. Walker. master of Woburn
grange, has been named by Governor
Draper to be the new head of the state
cattle commission, succeeding DR.. Aus
tin Peters. who has long held that po-
sition. Mr.. Walker is one of the most
successful dairy farmers in Massachu-
sets, a member of the legislature in
| 1909 and an enthusiastic Patron of
Husbandry.

Farmers Week.

Farmers week will be held Monday
to Friday, February 1924, at the Uni
versity of Vermont at Burlington.
The State commissioner of agriculture
and the university will cooperate as in
the past in this enterprise. Eighty-six
addresses and demonstrations are sched-
uled. Several of those will be given
coincidentally. The Vermont Cow
Testing association, union of the nine
cow testing associations in the state,
holds its annual meeting in conjunction
with farmers week; as well as the
State Forestry association.
Thirty-one speakers and demonstra-
tors, including practical farmers, uni
versity instructors, many people from
outside Vermont and several from out
side of New England will be available.
The topics are so grouped that he who
is interested in dairying, for instance,
may get the major part Of the instruc-
ton therein if he spend only a couple of
days Wednesday and Thursday at the
school. Horticulture will be stressed
on Thursday and Friday; general agri-
culture all the week. Women are es-
pecially invited to attend the special
two days work in domestic science on
Wednesday and Thursday, February
22-23, when lectures and demonstra-
tons will be offered by several instruc-
tors.
All the speakers are experts; their
talks plain, straightforward, business
like. There are no fees. More real,
sound agricultural instruction will be
offered than ever before in Vermont in
the same length of time. Three hun
dred people attended last year; SOC
ought to this year. For programs and
further Information address j. L. Hills,
dean Agricultural Department, Univer-
sity of Vermont, Burlington, VT.

Dear Register:
UIy yOUI D
w. w. SwINEY,

Dear Register:
Last week one of the papers took up,
with much energy, the incident of the
lateness of the snowplows during a
recent storm, stating that Middlebury
was way behind the times, always
backward, and such like. Travelling
men were quoted as asking, whats
the matter with Middlebury," and the
hammer was used quite a bit
A little jogging up once in a while is
all right; but we are not so bad. after
all. The village trustees hire two regu-
lar men to get out the plows when a
storm comes. To these two men is left
the matter of keeping the plows going
when storm is on. Last week heavy
fall of snow filled the walks and it is
understood that the regular men through
Misunderstanding, which was not
known by the trustees, were not out.
These men made mistake in not pro-
viding substitutes, but this should not
be laid to the village officers, who could
not possibly learn of the delay till too
late for the early morning travel The
men who were paid for the blowing
ordinarily should be held for the blame.
Whoever the travelling men" are
who find fault with Middlebury, it is
noticeable that they always seem glad
to call. We are well provided right
here at home with all the kickers that
we need without any importations OF
the same. Stop knocking, boast q
little, back up the men voted into
office, and we will not be so badly of
after all. x

THE GRANGE
Conducted by
J. ". BARROW. Chatham, N. Y,

Grange
WHAT ONE GRANGE DID.
County Fair Transformed Into Strict
ly Grange Agricultural Exhibition.

County Fair Transformed Into Strict
ly Grange Agricultural Exhibition.
Union grange fair at Plymouth, n.
H., was unique event. Several years
ago Grafton County Agricultural soci-
ETY., with the aid of the railroad, which
had headquarters at Plymouth at that
time, established an agricultural fair.
This fiourished for time. but gradual
~ dwindled in interest and finally was
abandoned. Now, 1t so happens that
Plymouth is the center Of large agri-
cultural and grange interest Sixteen
oranges In the vicinity Of Plymouth
voted money from the treasury and
sent their members to get the grounds
In shape for an agricultural exhibition.
Not only In exhibits. but in attendance,
the fair was a success. After paying
all premiums and other expenses and
for all the repairs about 5000 was left.
But no dividends were declared. That
was not the purpose Of the fair.
Last year the grangers organized
stock corporation, every share being
subscribed by the oranges as such.
They elected prominent grange men as
officers and started out Systematically
to build up the big fair. Again the re-
Spouse of exhibitors and Patrons was
beyond expectations. After an outlay in
repairs and preparations Of as much
as the first fair cost, doubling the pre-
miums and purses, the fair broke even
financially.
The fair is Differed by prominent
Patrons. The general deputy Of the
state grange is president Of the fair.
The master of the state grange Is sec
rotary Four Of its eight officers are
or have been state deputies, all but one
of them past masters of subordinate
grangers, and that one has been an Off
Ger of his grange for years. Under the
management of progressive farmers,
who believe in their business and its
greater possibilities, this fair is bound
to succeed. Its advertising catch
phrase is, please tell your neighbors."
They are being told and are telling
others, and the grange is making
friends by doing something for the in
dustry and the people it represents.

applied to the use of the locality where
the traffic is carried on, is obvious,
namely: To furnish some measure of
indemnity against the public burdens
thrown upon the localities by the pro-
secution of a business therein under
state authority, powerfully contribut-
ing to disorder, pauperism and crime"
There will be distributed to these
eight towns during the year 1910, the
sum of $12, 2l5. SO, and like sum goes
to the state.
The cost of supporting the
poor of the county for 1908
was 1885 SS
The expenses of the county
Jail were 6,326 IA
The court orders were 7,244. 80
The county orders were 8,434 06
Total 4-- $685. 9s
This computation does not include
the salaries of county officers, the cost
of insurance and the like. 1t rep
resents, approximately, the pauper and
criminal budget Of the county for the
year 1908.
The superintendent of the Milwaukee
poor house says: 1.-The saloons are re-
sponsible for more than two-thirds of
Milwaukee's poor"
An Indiana Judge says: Drunken
ness produces from four-ffths to nine
tenths of the crimes committed.
No doubt the above statements are
true in relation to pauperism and crime
in Franklin county.
Seventy-five per cent of the budget
for the year 1908, is S26,8 which is
conservative estimate of what the
| liquor traffic costs the taxpayers of
Franklin county annually in pauperism
and crime.
Giving the business credit for the
$12, 5.93, paid to the eight towns of
the county, deficiency of $14, 612. II is
left behind.
If the liquor traffic should be given
full credit for every cent of the $685.
1880 which comes into the county
treasurer's hands in license fees, it
would still owe the people 81, $40. 81 an
nually.
This computation entirely ignores the
moral problems involved and the loss to
society, the state and the nation, when
the victim of strong drink is confined in
prison, gives up his life in the electric
chair or spends the remainder of his
days in an insane asylum, all of which is
a burden upon the innocent, and a
financial loss which cannot be computed
on money basis.
1t is estimated that ten thousand
persons are killed by alcohol, where one
person is killed by mad dog.
Society says shoot the dog and license
the alcohol
Many say it is nothing to them how
many get drunk, or what the condition
of their town will be; but these are mat
tiers of Importance to everyone. If
there is single suffering family in a
district or in a town, it effects everyone.
No person can see child suffering for
the necessaries of life, or pass house
the people of which are in distress, if
that person has any humane feeling
whatever, whose heart will not throb in
pity for that poor family's woes; and il
becomes our bounden duty to do all in
our power to remove the cause of Their
woes, and this we can do only by going
to the polls and voting No. There were
two deaths in Malone, N. Y, within 8
year from rum.
Respectfully yours.

following an investigation extending
over many months. Alleged violation
Of customers order was given as the
cause for the expulsion, which was de-

declared that indictments for perjury
and extortion probably would be

Portland, Me-, June 2.-aTrs. G. Scott
Jones was burned to death yesterday,

her life. He finally escaped through a
window Of her room on the ground floor
OF their homestead just over the Port
land line in Scarboro
Jones had lifted his mother from her
bed and tried to carry her to the front
door, but was unable to open it, and
this added to his frantic condition. Re-
turning to his mothers room he sought
to help her escape through window
Leave me, leave me, she family gasped,
choked by the smoke which was rapid
~ filing the room. In his dazed con-
diti0n Mr.. Jones followed the suggestion,
jumped through the window and rushed
TO a neighbor's for help. The fire had
advanced so far that the entire house
was filled with flames within few
minutes after he got out, and all was,
lost Mrs. Jones was 65 years of age.
