No ether damage was caused By the

in the park opposite the Tivoii hotel,
which occurred while President Taft
was attending a dance given in his
honor at the National theater at Pan

patches to the Panama legation here
today, to have been the outgrowth of
business rivalry between two merf

The dispatches state that the ex-

was guarded by a line of police from

A Showdown Demanded.

Things were not quite natural in
the legislature without a bill to con
struct a cross-rate railroad, but Mr..
Ranney of Pittsfield supplied the de-
ficiency by introducing measure to
incorporate the Rutland & Bethel
Railroad company" AT this time it
may be well to remind the legisla-
ture that the state cannot afford to
give out these privileges unless Civ
en- satisfactory assurance that the
purpose of the incorporation is some
thing more than an effort TO gobble
up the rights against the day when
some other association of railroad
builders shall wish. for the privilege.
However, we dos not wish to APP
pear as opposed to the construction
of such railroad as proposed in the
measure which Mr.. Ranney has pre-
scented to the general assembly. A
railroad has been a de-
mand on the part of the public, par
ticularly for freight facilities, for
lol these years and 1t is a demand
that is still untitled. Therefore,
what have the incorporators of Mr..
Ranney's bill got to say for them
selves Barre Times.

BENNINGTON, VT, DEC. 10. 1912

There has been some unavoidable
delay in securing the necessary legis-
lation to carry out the provisions of
the proposed gift of Henry w. Put
nam to the village of Bennington. 1t
was the wish of Mr.. Putnam that the
property of the Bennington Water
company, which he proposes to turn
over to the village of Bennington for
the establishment of a permanently
endowed hospital should be transfer
red the first of the coming year. II
may not be possible, however, for
him to make the gift on that date.
In the mean time it will be well for
the people of Bennington to give
serious consideration to the selection
of a proper site for the institution
which will result from Mr. Putnam's
generosity. This is a question that
will, of course, be determined by the
trustees, but the hospital is some
thing in which every citizen should
be thoroughly interested and discus
sion is always likely to produce
ideas of value. The hospital is to be
a permanent institution, established
and endowed for all time, and for
this reason no mistake should be
made in selecting the site for the
! l..
larly interested in the hospital, has
suggested that the institution should
be located on some of the higher
points surrounding the village and
that sufficient land should be pur-
chased TO give the building or build
ings pleasant surroundings and pro
vide for whatever extensions should
be called for in the future.

ENTERS PROTEST
Plan to Enlarge Twin-Stste League
Baked by Those Salaries"


Northampton, Mass, Dec. 1S.-Sec
rotary John Sisco of the Northamp-
ton baseball association has written
to Secretary Farrell of the national
baseball association a letter of pro-
test against the decision of the COM
mittee to the effect that Northamp-
ton, If il should wish to join the ma
tional organization, must pay the ar
rears in salaries of the players of
the Northampton team of 1911 in the
Connecticut league. The national
association, il is claimed, decided a
few weeks ago that these arrears in
salaries should be paid at once by
the Connecticut league, but that they
should remain an obligation against
the city of Northampton, which
must be discharged before that city
could receive protection. Northamp-
ton has hope an eight-team league
can be organized next season, with
the Twin State league as a basis, and
that it will be admitted to the nation
al organization, and Mr.. Sisco sub
mits that Northampton never had
any share in the management of the
Northampton Connecticut league
team, but that the team was owned
and managed by Gilbert Edwards of
Springfield. Mr.. Sisco also protests
against the custom of leagues of the
national organization to entice away
the best of the players Of Northamp-
ton and other Independent teams.

900 Kernels of Corn Tested And Not
Kernel Sprouted.

One farmer, and a good farmer at
that, told Joseph Millette last week,
that he had picked out one hundred
ears of his 1911 crop of corn, and from
each ear he took six kernels and put
them in his tester and not kernel
sprouted.
The gentleman who made the test
is one of the best formers in Canton
township, and this evidence ought to
be sufficient to put every man on
guard against poor seed.
There is plenty of 1910 corn in the
county and the LEADER urges every
farmer to get busy. Do not delay
getting your seed corn because it is of
the utmost Importance. When a
man taxes 600 kernels from 100 select
ed ears and not a kernel sprouts, it is
time for every farmer in the county
to get busy.
All 1910 corn so far tested has shown
good terminating power, and in one
case where Sander Brynjulson tested
his 1910 corn every kernel but one
sprouted.
II our farmers do their duty they
will get good crop of corn this year:
if they neglect their duty on the
question Of pure seed they need
not expect much.

LOW TERMINATION OF SEED
CORN.
Bureau Of Plant Industry Has In
vestigated Matter of Moment.
Farmers Advised to Use Only Seed
That Has Been Tested.

Washington, April 2. Because OF
the poor corn crop last year, the bu
reau of plant industry, department of
agriculture, has tested samples from
all over the country and found a very
low average termination. DR.. b. T.
Galloway, chief of the bureau, advises
the farmers Of the country to be
particularly careful about the plant
ing this spring.
1--WE tested nearly 1000 samples,
he said today, land found that the
average termination was only 81 pei
cent, whereas it should have been 90
The average termination was lowest
in the corn growing states.
81 advise the farmers to plant the
best seed they can get. They should
use selected corn on the cob, each ear
of which has been tested for germina-
tion and, if they have to use seed corn,
they should test it and plant enough
depending upon the percentage Of
termination, to insure a good stand. !"

mention on the Federal side Of pro.
ceeding against Donelson. Halleck
had received warning from the east
that the Confederate General Beaure.
gard had started from Virginia for the
west with fifteen regiments Of soldiers
to REINFORCE the defenders OF Nash
vile. Nashville was then the Confed-
crate base Of supplies in that region,
and Fort Donelson was one Of its de,
lenses. Halleck told Grant he must
get ahead of Beauregard and act be-
fore he reached the field.
The very day that Halleck urged
Grant on Beauregard did leave Manas-
sas. Va, for the camps In Kentucky.
He had no troops with him, however.
Beauregard was the captor of Fort
Sumter in April, 1851, and had led the
Confederates successfully in the battle
Of Bull Run His transfer to the west
ern army was therefore important.
1t was a combined land and water
or army and navy expedition. which.
pursuant to Halleck's orders, set out
ON Feb 2 to subdue Fort Henry. Foote
made the ironclad Cincinnati his flag
ship and prepared to attack the fort
and at the same time guard the trans
parent vessels carrying Grants SOL
diers and protect their landing. Foote's
outfit consisted of the Cincinnati, Es-
sex, Carondelet and st. Louis, all iron
clads, and the wooden gunboats Cones
toga. Tyler and Lexington.

The ironclads were of the type
known In the navy as the "Eads iron
clads" They We're built at st. Louis
or other neighborins ports on the Mis-
sissippi by Captain j. b. Eads, whose
first contract for the construction of
ironclad ships stipulated that they
should be ready for service in sixty
days. Lack of funds. the most OF
which Eads supplied himself. and 9TH
er causes delayed construction. and the
main part of the fleet was not deliv-
cred until ninety days had elapsed.

Look Up CANDLES Record.

The Yanktor Press and Dakotan
wants record OF Dean Sterlng's
political standing to prove that he is

If the once progressive old P. and
D. needs anything on political records,
why don't it look up Candles record
of treachery, and why it was neces-
sary to whitewash him at Pierre, and
how he came to vote for Lorimer, and
why he moved into the Yankto
government building and then moved
out, and it would do no harm if the
P. and D. looked up CANDLES s record
on franked envelopes, and it might be
interesting to some OF us if the P. and
D. figured up the amount of money
young Gamble drew out of the trea-
surv while attending school in Mary
land. and why Gamble has always
proved untrue to those who helped
him.
Dean Sterling's record is known to
the people of this state, and his re-
cord is clean, progressive. honorable
and open. The p and d. must have
forgotten Gamble in its hurry to
throw a brick at Mr.. Sterling, gen.
tleman whose standing places him be-
yond the muck rakes of those who
can vote for a man who supports
LOrimer.
