HAVE SECURED 45
NAMES FOR NEW
COMPANY
Better Outlook for ReOrganiza-
ton Of Company X.
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT
More Enthusiasm Than at All Pre-
vlous Gatherings for the
Same Purpose

That this town will again be
among the Vermont cities and towns
that boast of military organizations,
and that within comparatively
short time was apparently assured at
a meeting in the Office Of Judge E. L.
Bates Thursday evening. The meet
ing was held for the purpose of con-
sidering the present situation and In
view Of the unfavorable weather, 1t
was we'll attended. Forty-five names
were received for membership in the
proposed new militia company and
arrangements were made for obtain
ing the enlistment papers. Several
of the prominent men of the village
were present and were, in fact,
among the most active and enthusi-
astic, which is saying good deal,
for the whole meeting was very ac-
tive and enthusiasm ran high.
The prospects of recognizing the
company which was disbanded last
July was considered only in a gener-
al way 1t was found that many per-
sons were in favor of having a militia
company in this town and were will
ing to assist in forming one After
the 45 names had been secured, Col.
II. E. Dwyer Of Rutland was COM
municated with on the telephone in
regard to obtaining enlistment pa
pers and he stated that the papers
would be forthcoming at once, and
gave assurance OF his willingness to
assist in forming new company in
this town.
Several Of those who were present
at the meeting are sangulne as to its
results and assert that II is
matter OF short time before a
new company is organized This
seems to be the opinion OF most Of
those who are interested in militia
circles ana VINO have been following
the recent troubles OF the local com
pany since last July.
The feeling for a military company
in Bennington is strong. It has been
constantly gaining in force ever since
the disbanding of the former COM
pany. Many of the merchants OF
the town and many men prominent
in various circles favor such an or
ganization here and are lending val
liable assistance in securing one.
The former organization, Co. X,
was ordered to disband last July, be-
cause Of deterioration in the per-
sonnet OF its membership. Since
that time repeated efforts have been
made to effect its reorganization but
without results.

the Atlantic to the Pacific, got here
from Dallas yesterday flying 100

His only stop was for gasoline at
Hillsboro, thirty-four miles north of
here. He was to resume his journey
this morning, with Austin, los miles
distant, as the next stopping point
Rodgers had intended starting ear
lier from Dallas, so he could get to
Austin, but sightseers. in crowding
about the biplane, damaged the right
plane, and he was compelled to post
pone his start to make repairs.
Rising 1000 feet high Rodgers left
Dallas soon after 2 o'clock, announc-
ing that he would try to reach Aus
tin, 229 miles away, but changed his
NINA dIter starting.
The first report received was of his
passing over Waxahachle at 2:5O p.
m, having made thirty-two miles
from Dallas in about forty minutes.
Half an hour later he was passing ov-
er Hillsboro sixty-six miles on his
way. which he had done in eighty
minutes.
On his arrival Rodgers told Of
race with an eagle for twenty miles
at speed. The bird, he said. was
nearly a thousand feet below him,

Escape DenOunciatiOn
TROUBLE EXPECTED TODAY
So Much Feeling Against Giant Who
Spiked Baker That Baseball
Men are Anxious

Philadelphia, Oct. 20-Fred Snod-
grass, the center fielder of the New
York Giants, who has been accused
of Intentionally spiking Frank Baker.
the famous third baseman of the Ath-
letics and the star in the worlds
series, in the game played at the Pc
10 Grounds last Tuesday, in which
Baker was cut and bruised severely,
left Philadelphia yesterday morning
for New York to escape the taunts
and boots of Philadelphia fans, who
made it extremely unpleasant, If not
perilous, for Snodgrass to remain in
this city pending the playing Of the
fourth game of the series here, which
has been postponed twice on account
OF rain.
Manager McGraw, realizing the eff
feet that this action of the Philadel-
phians would have on his player ad-
yised Snodgrass to 80 home until
this morning and escape the criticism
and denunciation Of his actions in
New York Manager McGraw, Of
course, believes that SnCdgrass unin-
tentionally spiked Baker in sliding
into third base in the game on Tues.
day, and Snodgrass declares that he
is innocent of any wrongful action
Philadelphia fans deeply resent
Snodgrass rough-riding tactics on
the bases, and every time he has ven
tured out on the streets here and
has been recognized he has been
hooted and Kissed.
Snodgrass said he wasn't worried
about the jeers and boots OF the Phil
adelphia fans. He said he has a clear
conscience in the matter of spikIng
Baker. for 1t was all accidental.
Philadelphia players and fans say
otherwise
MY goat is not for sale" said
Snodgrass. They say the crowd at
the next game will have it in for me.
but there's no danger Of my going up
in the air"
1t has been expected chat the
crowd at Shlbe Park this afternoon
will be very hostile to Snodgrass. and
it is possible that Manager McGraw
may keep him out Of the game.

The average butterfat production
of the Iowa COW is about 140 pounds

STOCK FOODS ARE
OF LITTLE VALUE.
Iowa Experiment Station Advises
Farmers Not to Pay hiah Prices

Iowa Experiment Station Advised
Farmers Not to Pay High Prices
When tankage costs $40 per ton,
stock foods range from $500 TO $306
per ton. They usually cost from six
10 ten times as much as ordinary
feeds. The manufacturer argues,
however, that his stock food has a
stimulating and curative effect that
adds considerably to it's value.
The Iowa Experiment Station has
conducted number of experiments
with stock foods to see if the farmer
really gets his moneys worth from
them. One experiment was carried
on with twenty head of cattle. The
lot fed corn alone gained 4,387.5
pounds, while the other lot which was
fed both corn and stock food gained
$40 pounds. For the first lot the
cost of producing 100 pounds gain
was $1071, while for the lot fed stock
food the cost was s13.41 per 100
pounds gain. The use of the stock
food increased the cost of beef pro-
duction "a per cent.
Another experiment. at the same
station showed an increased cost of
$1.22 in producing 100 pounds gain
where stock food was used. In this
same experiment the corn fed alone
returned SO cents per bushel, while
that fed in conjunction with stock food
returned only 703 cents per bushel.
The use of this food reduced the
value of each bushel of corn "a cents
and increased the cost Of beef produc-
ton II per cent.
Various kinds of stock food fed
to dairy cows in conjunction with the
ordinary grain rations increased the
cost of producing butterfat from to
8 per cent. Similar experiments in
hog feeding showed positive loss
when stock foods were added to the
ration. Experiments were carried on
with practically all the stock foods on
the market. Results with all of these
were essentially the same as in the
cases cited. A tablespoonful OF any
stock food fed night and morning
will not put farmers stock on the
market in thirty days. less time.
Neither will it double the flow of milk
of his dairy herd, nor will it prevent
cholera in his chickens, nor CHAMBERS
in horses. 1t is yet to be proved that
any stock food can do this.
Stock foods are found to be deplor-
ably lacking when tested in the bal
ance of the chemist Forty-two of the
most common stock foods showed
