The matter Of having goods on hand
At ALL times In the months past has been
a difficult one, not only for Raymer
merchants, but for all the merchants
in this section. The reason is obvious.
The unprecedented demand for feed
and fuel on account Of unusual wealth.
or. while that same weather crippled
train service. delayed delivery and cut
of freighting in by team entirely. just
when most needed. But despite these
difficulties our people have not suffered
as great inconvenience as might have
reasonably beep expected. Old estab.
lisked communities of the east were on
the brink Of coal famine during the en-.
tire winter. but Raymer has had coal

Constitution Should Be Changed.

Those proposals of amendment to
the state constitution are falling by
the wayside in this years Senate. as
others did two years ago. At present
it looks as if not more than two or
three Of the unimportant ones would
go before the people. In actual prac-
tice it is about as hard to amend the
Vermont constitution as the Sinaitic
code. Without reference to the merits
of the tending proposals, the constitu-
ton ought to be brought within easier
reach of the people. An overwhelming
pressure is now necessary to secure
any change, and even then a small
number of individuals, placed in tenn
porary power, may defeat it. A con
stitution, to command the respect and
veneration of the people. should cas-
onaoiy represent their wishes, ascer-
tanned and embodied after due, not
hasty. consideration. We shall never
get far in this direction until we pry
off and throw away that time-lock.-

The Bill Should Pass.

A bill called the liberalization bill, p"
which is to receive attention at the
hands of the present legislature, aims
at n of the chief causes of many
shocking crimes. 1t should pass, as
should a bill requiring a doctors certi
fcate before marriage, as we'll as a
town clerks license. To allow the
weak. the imbecile and the vicious to
reproduce their kind is something that
should nc longer be permitted. 1t fills
u jails, hospitals and asylums. To
permit the physically and mentally
weak to enter the world not only
handicaps them. but is a crime against
society. Prevention is the only correct
remedy to apply. Sterilization of
certain classes of criminals and defec-
tives may seem a harsh procedure, but
in our judgment it is necessary as a
protective measure for society at
large. In our modern civilization, Of
which we are justly proud, there is q
sad defect. We give more attention
to the breeding of our horses and cattle
than we do to the breeding of our mer
and women.-White River Junction

The New Divorce Law.

Many people have made inquiries in
regard to the divorce law passed by
the Vermont legislature at the present
session and signed by Gov. Fletcher.
We understand that it provides that if
a divorce marries within three years
in some other state to avoid the prOhi-
hltion Of marriage within that time in
Vermont the marriage shall be biga-
nous ii the divorcae returns to Yer
mont. 1t also provides that if a per-
son from another state is married in
Vermont to evade the laws Of an
other state relating to remarriage
after divorce. the marriage shall be
bigamous and the person who per
forms the marriage with knowledge Of
the intent to evade the law shall be
subject to a fine, The general divorce
law provides that no divorce may be
married within the state for a period
of three years after being divorced,
unless the party securing the divorce
dies within that time.-BrattleborC

TERMS
CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is the time when men are
brought nearer to n great brother
hood than at any other time. At this
season o. the year the universal
thought is that of making others hap
by. 1t prevails in the heart of the
rich and the poor alike. While d mod
ern trend of commercialism has made
Christmas in some ways a burden it
annually compels the world to stop its
mad pace after the material things of
life and turn its en- ergieS and thoughts
toward higher aspirations.
The unaltering march of the Christ
mas spirit through the ages is a sign
that the heart of man is right and that
whatever outward appearance circum-
stances of life have compelled him to
adopt the real inner man is yet IN
selfish.
The yearly return of Christmas
festivities is one of the signs that the
accomplishments of Christ's coming
are going on apace and that His king.
dom shall prevail. 1t is at this time
of the year that we pause to consider
that it is His spirit that has given
America free schools and free libraries
and free hospitals and muititudinOus
other blessings both OF material and
spiritual value to the popuIace. 1t is
at Christmas time that We stop to con

How to Make Good Old-Fashioned
Boston Baked Beans.

Fannie Merritt Farmer, cookery
editor of the Woman's Home Com
panion, writes about Good Old Fash
Toned Dishes in the January number
Of that periodical. She says that the
young housekeepers of to-day seldom
make the old-fashioned dishes that
were so popular a generation ago. She
suggests that the reason for these
dishes having fallen into disrepute lies
IN the fact that carefully written rules
for their preparation are difficult to
get hold of. She presents ten recipes
for these old-fashioned dishes, includ.
ing the following:
Boston Baked Beans-Pick over
three cupfuls of pea-beans, cover with
cold water, and soak for several hours.
Drain, put in stew-pan, cover with
fresh water, heat gradually to the
boiling point, and let simmer unit
skins will burst, which is best deter
mined by taking a few beans on the
tip of a spoon and blowing on them
when skins will burst if sufficiently
cooked. Beans thus tested must O.
course be thrown away. Drain beans
Scrape a th~ree-fourths pound piece OF
fat salt pork, remove a one-fourth
inch slice, and put in bottom O
beanpot. Cut through rind of remain
ing pork at one-half-inch distances
Put beans in pot and bury pork il
beans, leaving the rind exposed. Mi
one tablespoon of salt, two tablespoon
fuls of sugar, and two tablespoonful
of molasses. Add one cupful of boiling
water and pour mixture over beans
then add enough more boiling water t,
cover beans. Bake in a slow ovel
eight hours, uncovering the last hou
of the cooking. that the rind may be
come brown. Add more boiling waite
as needed.

The Monitor urges the farmers of
Orleans county to make plans to at
tend the Vermont Dairymen's ~asSocia-

early in January as announced else
where in this paper. Sugar makers

the meeting of the Vermont Sugar
Makers association which meets at the

business man in every walk of life is
n who meets with others Of his trade
and becomes acquainted with the sue
cessful methods used by them. There
is a great opportunity for mutual helm
among the agriculturists of Vermont.
Only in recent years have they come
to realize it to any extent whatever
and while the farmers of Orleans
county are among the most enterpris-
ing and successful individually there

Alleged Hi shwayman on Trial
The case of state against Frank
Cmell is being tried in Bennington
county court. The respondent, who is
a Hungarian gypsy, is charged with
shooting Orson Tinkham on the eve
ming of October II. Tinkham was
severely wounded by one of the bullets
alleged to have been fired by CmelI.
but an operation in a Troy hospital
saved his life. The shooting charged
against Cmell took place on a thickly
wooded section of the road leading to
North Bennington. Iinkham. who
was returning to his farm on the
SALISBURY road, was stopped by a mar
who at first demanded a ride and later
money. The farmer whipped his
horse and the ~highwayman fired three
shots, two of which hit the man in
the wagon and the third passed
through his hat. Tinkham was carried
nearly a mile by his horse before he
succeeded in arousing some of the in
habitants residing along the road.
He was given assistance and was later
taken to a hospital in Troy. An opera.
ton disclosed a dozen perforations Of
the intestines. The mar has a good
constitution and made a rapid recovery

SKIN GAME

1t seems that new crop of
human freight is about ripe to be
plucked by the fake promoters
throughout the United States. The
latest scheme to hamboozle the
ever feasting public is the potash
deposit scheme. and Nevada is to
be used as the base Of operations.
1t has been nounced ih several
state papers that deposits of this
mineral have been found. The
promoters were quickly on the
around and already the East is
being worked from this standpoint.
1t is most probably true that
this mineral will be found, but it,
like gypsum and any other semi
precious metal of utility class need
a market and financiers 10 handle
the game.
Fortunately Uncle Sam has step.
ped in and issuing warnings
againts indisc riminate settlement
on such deposits, and also warns
the investing public to beware.
If the potash depos its and fields
are of sufficient worth men of
money and who have their hands
on the market will be in plenty
without the fakes getting in their
deadly work.
The public should go deep into
the investigation committee before
they part with their hard-earned
dollars in such schemes as are
being promoted by people who live
on the sucker" element that is
born every minute.-Sparks
