TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS.
Advice to High School Pupils IN Enospure
Falls Which Might Be Made General in
Its Application.

The school committee of Enosburg
Falls composed of some of the most
prominent and influential men OF the
community, recently sent the following
letter to parents and guardians OF hlgh
school pupils;
I'VE take the liberty to call your atten-
ton to a very important matter. There
is an unusually large number of social
distrac in our community TINS year
Dances. entertainments rides and parties
are making excessive demands on the
time and energies of the students. we
don't wish to criticise any Oh tHese
things, or the people responsible for
them but when they are patronized too
frequently by young people in school the
results are inevitably disastrous. 1t is
not uncommon for some pupils to be out
late several nights during the week.
sometimes until the wee, small hours
They come to school the next day weary,
poorly prepared, and with minds hlied
with the experiences of the previous
night In such a condition they are IN
capable of doing satisfactory work Dur
ing our short school year OF only lso
days, we believe that the school work
should come first. High school students
need from one to three hours of home
study. They must have sufficient ana
regular sleep We feel that no student
should be allowed to be out later than
10 o'clock at night unless possibly now
and then the last of the week, when
there is no school the next day. Social
pleasures need not be abolished but they
must be regulated, both as to their fire.
uuency and the time they extend into the
night. The pupils in this school in natural
ability are above the average. They
come from good, sturdy stock and have
inherited fine qualities of character. 1t
would be indeed tragedy for them to
waste their talents through uncontrolled
pleasures and social dissipation. If we
who are their appointed guides are wise
and firm, whatever may be their attitude
now, in the years to come they will be
profoundly grateful If all parents Will
insist that their children stay in nights
and do their work, the school Will be
improved, the vitality of the youth Will
be preserved their minds and characters
will be more fully developed, and gen
Grafton of strong young men and women
will be raised up to fill responsible places
in the work of the world"

Fine Entertainment the Prize Speaking Contest by the Claw

Civic Improvement League


Tommys hand and goes back to his
home, there to begin anew a life of hap
piness and contentment. Ernest Edgar
Ray recited a narrative of a fire in Bos
ton. A large storage warehouse was be-
ing destroyed by fire and throngs going
to church crowded around the building.
1t was discovered that great quantities
of powder were stored in the warehouse
and because the people were so crowded
into the narrow streets it would be i'm
possible to force them out in time to
escape an explosion. A hero stepped into
the breach, entered the flaming building
and carried out the powder. Mr.. Ray
did extremely well in his rendition.
Ralph Ernest Thayer made the hit of
the evening. He told of the difficulties
which a Frenchman, stranger i'm New
York, encountered when he wandered
away from his hotel and then forgot the
hotel address Mr. Thayer's mannerisms
and his pronunciation of the semi-French
words were fine, as was in fact his entire
rendition of the story. During the
greater part of his recitation the audi
ence was laughing outright and at times
he could not be heard because of the
laughter. He was awarded first prize
silver cup, and the decision of the judges
was greeted with an outburst of applause
which indicated popular approval
Ermina Blanche Dunton's selection told
of a little boy, Reuben, who was
afraid to die. The 'posies,' and cater
pillar told him of the beauties of death,
but still he refused to believe. One day.
after awaking from Sleep he began cry
ing and met an angel who asked him
what the trouble was He said he was
afraid to die and she explained that he
had died during his sleep and was then
in heaven. Miss Dunton was awarded
second prize, gold medal. Marguerite

wonderful painter, slave, who painted
beautiful picture on his masters can

Inheritance Taxes In New Hampshire and
Vermont.

New Hampshire's first inheritance tax,
/ per cent on collateral inhertances, en-
acted in 1878, was held unconstitutional
in 1882.
An amendment to the constitution III
1903 paved the way for the present col
lateral inheritance tax enacted in 1905
The tax is on collateral inheritances
only, the rate is uniformly per cent, and
no amount is exempt. No tax is levied
on an inheritance to father, mother, hus-
band, wife, lineal descendant, brother.
sister, adopted child, lineal descendant or
adopted child. wife or widow of son,
husband of daughter.
New Hampshire taxes stock in n New
Hampshire corporation owned by nom
resident Gardner V. Carter, "A, n. fl.
SOD and moreover taxes registered bonds
of New Hampshire corporation owned
by a nonresident, though kept outside
the state. Corporations and individuals
transferring or delivering securities or
other assets of non-residents are made
responsible for the tax. Boston and
Maine stock is taxed only on the propur-
ton of its line within New Hampshire
1t is the practice to require a complete
inventory of a non-resident's estate.
New Hampshire is the only New Eng
land state that has no provision what
ever for preventing or reducing double
taxation.
This tax has been producing about
$780, 900 a year
Vermonts first collateral inheritance
tax was enacted in 1896 and substantially
amended in 1904. It's main features are
very similar to the New Hampshire stat
ute
The tax is on collateral inheritances
only, the rate is uniformly per cent
and no amount is exempt. No tax is
levied on an inheritance to father, moth
err husband, wife. lineal descendant, step
child, adopted child, child of step-child
or of adopted child, wife or widow of
son, husband of daughter
a bill for a graduated direct inheritance
tax passed the House of Representa- ves
during the session just completed, but it
failed to pass the Senate.
Vermont taxes stock in a Vermont cor
poration or national bank owned by a
nonresident and like New Hampshire
taxes registered bonds as well. 1t goes
even a step further and makes a claim
for an inheritance tax where a deceased
nonresident owns stock i'm a corporation
not incorporated under the laws of Yer
mont provided such foreign corporation
has its principal office in Vermont. Cor
orations and individuals transferring or
delivering securities, and banks that pay
deposits of non-residents, are made re-
sponsible for the tax
II Is the practice of the tax authorities
to require an inventory of the entire
property of the deceased, and copy OF
the will before permitting Vermont cor
poration to transfer securities owned by
a deceased nonresident.
If any Inheritance tax has been paid
by either a resident or non resident to
any other state or government, except
the United States. On account of the
transfer of securities, bank deposits or
other assets, the Vermont tax is limited
to an amount sufficient to make the total
tax per cent.
Vermont does not tax the bank depos-
its OF Vermont resident in another state
ana this would seem to apply to securi-
ties outside the state as well.-[Boston

CATS GERM CARRIERS.
Physician Sure They Do Much to Spread
Tuberculosis.

That cats spread tuberculosis and are
a menace to health was declared recently
by DIR. Thomas w. Clark of Lakewood,
Cleveland, who within the last six
months has conducted more than
hundred feline autopsies. DIR. Clark said
he had as a patient the head of a family
who was afflicted with tuberculosis. From
the history of the case the doctor was
convinced that the family cat had
brought the disease to the house. In his
examination a hundred or more cats
were killed and examined by him.
Il found in all of them germs of tu-
berculosis," the doctor said. "Of course
not all cats We're in the last stages of
the disease although at least 30 per cent
of them We're in serious condition.
Il venture to say that enough of the
germs were present in all of them to
make them a danger to any household.
Cats prowl around in many places and
carry the germs with them"
