Manchester, Vt.
Dear Sir:
Congress has passed our appro.
priation bill and funds are now
ava liable for the location of coun-
ty agent In Bennington County, and
We are now looking for man fol
that position. We understand that
the county. is ready with its funds
to pay half the salary and expenses
Of the agent located there. and in
addition to furnish him office room
and equipment. We had hoped to
have the man at work September Is
but the necessary delay occasioned
in finding the right man for the
place may make it little after that
date before we can have the man
on the grounds.
If this meets with your approval
may we hear from you at once?
Yours very truly,
(Signed) C. B. Smith.

Others think of Mr.. d. II. Winslow
and his work We trust that the
people of Bennington County will
feel II pleasure to come out In
like manner and give Mr.. Winslow
praise for his excellent work.
Hon Logan Walter Page,
Director Office of Public Raods,
Washington, ID. c..
My dear Sir:
Believing that you will be inter
ested in hearing that the visit Of
your Mr. Winslow to this County
three years ago has resulted in much
good, | am sending you some photo
graphs Of roads which will give you
an idea OF what we are doing in the
way Of better roads.
We have a unique system Of coun-
ty government patterned after the
directorate system in use In the
of corporations and that
of such institutions as Universities,
Penltentiaries. Asylums and others.
Our county commissioners are APP
pointed by the Governor and receive
no pay. They employ an engineer
who Is IN charge of the roads under
their supervision thus taking them
away from politics as far as possi-
Bile. You Will also find a clipping
from our local paper which gives an
idea Of what is being done.
WIN you kindly enclose the photos

that what success we have attained
IS directly due TO Mr.. Winslow's yisi

We shall have fine roads in this
county long before the most hopeful
of US dared 10 think possible.

COP SHOWS UP
 SORROMFUL SIGHT
MINUS CLUB AND HELMET ON PRESENTING HIMSELF AT
 PRECINCT, AFTER BEING <
 MISSING FOR HOURS. .

New Haven, Aug. 15rPoliceman Frederick Beauton, when he finally reported to the Dixwell avenue pre- cinct at $50 yesterday morning after being missing from his beat a good part of the night, did so minus his helmet and club. Tuesday was a bad day for Beauton. He attended the New Haven Bridgeport policemen s ball game and was to report for duty at 8 o'clock He did not appear until should have reported three hours later at the precinct Sergeant Williams who was on the desk in place of Ser geant Crocker, who had gone home. not feeling we'll reported Beauton missing to Sergeant Klaiber when the latter came in from street duty.
 They agreed to leave the pr ecinct in charge of one of the men and go out together to gather in Beauton They went over his beat thoroughly search ing porches and backwards, but found no trace of the missing patrolman. Returning to the precinct Sergeant Williams had the desk when Beauton appeared. He was minus his helmet and club and presented 8 somewhat sorrowful appearance. All he had to say for himself was that he was "up the line" s
 The so-called inspectors had noth- ing whatever to do with the case. Beauton's trial will be worth watch ing. His connection with the pow CTS is rather close. 1t is understood he has been warned time and again but has not needed owing to his feel ing of security. He stands suspended for neglect of duty.

ARMY s OFFICER ROUNDED
 AND IMPRISONED

{ London, Aug. 15.-The case of Lieu tenant Allan Sutor, sentenced to i days imprisonment for throwing a stone through poice station win dow, is referred to by radical news papers as another illustration, of the fate which befalls nearly everyone who antagonizes the .supper classes
 Sutor was forced out of the army about two years ago for publishing a book telling of the pink tea existence led abyw practically all British officers and of the total unfitness of most of them for military leadership. A poor man,he says,he has since been hound ed out of every position he has se- cured until he is on the verge of star vation.
 It was to call attention to this al- leged persecution that he threw the stone, a method of airing grievances popular in Great Britain
