IF ANY farmer thinks his state tax
has not gone skyward in the past seven,
teen years, let him read one of his old
tax receipts beginning with the taxes
of 1894, collected in 1894 and five. Not
withstanding the tremendous increase
in railroad and other public corporation
taxes, it is safe prediction that the
farmers will find upon making the in
vestigation herein suggested that their
taxes have gone up faster than those
of the railroads and other public service
corporations. No party, faction or
clique can terrorize us into conceal
ment, or brighten us into doing its bid
ding. State government is extrava-
gently managed or else taxes would not
be so high. The remedy is fewer pub
lie servants, lower salaries, and less
government. This remedy will never
be resorted to unless the taxpayers
have before their eyes concrete exam

Theoretically, says jeweler. the
best watches of Today are perfect,
but actually they both gain and lose
time every day. Even if the good
watch does not vary one second at
the end of the "a hours, the expert
insists, it has both gained and lost in
that time. If it is wound in the morn
ing, it runs fast, and toward the next
morning runs slow. thus equalizing
the time. He says the best watches
should be wound twice a day and then
at only two-thirds of the capacity Of
the handspring, thus preventing either
binding or extremes of strong or
weakened spring. The balance wheel
was expected to equalize differences
of handspring tension, but really this
is not the case to what is called per-
lection.

THE year has started off with fire
losses at the rate of a million dollars a
day. While much of this was due to
the prolonged and excessive cold wealth
er, yet it does not promise well for the
reduction in the fire waste which it was
hoped to secure in 1912 as result Of
the educational work done last year.
The 1911 fire losses were 1924, 337, 25O,
but the loss in January of this year
was so per cent ahead of the same
month last year. AS usual, most OF
these fires were due to the national
fault of carelessness. While zero
weather may account for the unusual
number, most of them were easily pre-
ventable. Overheated stoves and fur
naces, defective fues, and the thawing
of frozen water pipes with burning
paper were the chief causes of the cold
weather fires.

ALLAYlNG A SCARE.

Il takes precious little, sometimes.
to start serious scare" The merest
irresponsible rumor may result in
run on a bank, and hint Of fire
may precipitate disastrous panic
In fact, it might be difficult to dis
prove a statement, If made. that we
mortals thoroughly enjoy being
scared, and welcome the agency by
which this end may be accomplished.
AS an instance of the popular love for
a scare may be cited the readily-cred-
tied reports, the source of which no
one seems to know, that all nickels
dated 1910 were counterfeit, says the
Manchester Union. The treasury de-
partment at Washington has received
hundreds of inquiries from all sec
tions of the country, on the strength
of these reports, and the persistency
with which the reports have spread
has occasioned banks and business
men much inconvenience. AS a mat
ter of fact, there are 30,000,000 nick
els of 1910 in circulation, and, so far
as the treasury department knows. all
are genuine Some of them were dis
colored in the minting, by fumes Of
sulphuric acid, which gives them an
unusual appearance. This fact may
have afforded apparent grounds for
the counterfeit report, which is it.
self bogus The nickels are good for
five cents each, and there is no oc-
casion for shying at them.

NEARLY TIME FOR SCHOOL
OPENING.

Inasmuch as the public schools of Barre
will resume their sessions in two weeks
or more it behooves the parents to plan
to have the children in their places on
the opening day. The long vacation is
about ended, and the children have had
I time enough in which to enjoy them
selves unmindful of books and school
discipline. There will be particular need
that all the children be present at the
opening of the school year. because of
the fact that a new official win be in
charge of the schools, and he will have
plenty of details incident to new posi-.
ton to look after without the added
bother of school children struggling into
school days and perhaps weeks after
the opening. Therefore, parents should
make great effort to have their children
start the year on time.
To those outside of Barre who are
seeking a good public school system,
crowned with high school of merit, the
Barre schools can be commended. Al.
ready the merit of the high school is
recognized over wide section of the
state, and pupils are enrolled from many
towns. Doubtless as many tuition pupils
as usual will be enrolled during the com
