One of the best games of foot ball
played on the grounds in this city
this season was played last
Saturday afternoon between the
Washburn and Ashland =. High
school foot ball teams. These teams
played game four weeks ago and
Washburn was defeated by the score
of SO to 0 and while they expected
to i axe much better showing in
the Saturday game, yet they did not
expect to win but went into the game
determined to hold the score down. to
a very low margin; This they sue
ceeded in doing for the game ended
tie, the score being six to six.
When the two teams lined up ON
the field the fans thought that the
Washburn team would have no show
at all, for the Ashland players out
weighed them from ten to fifteen
pounds to the man but after the
game was under way few minutes
| things began to look different for
Washburn was outplaying their oppo-
nents. During the first quarter the
ball was in Ashland territory the
greater part of the time but no score
was made.
During the early part of the Sec
ond quarter Caruthers carried the
ball through the Ashland line for a
touchdown but the ball was brought
back again and Washburn was pena-
lized fifteen yards for being offside.
The forward pass was worked repeat
eddy by the Washburn team, Ashland
being penalized for interfering with
the player catching the ball. Ash
land hammered the Washburn line
but failed to make gains and was
forced to punt repeatedly to keep
from loosing the ball on downs.
Just before the close of the first
half Quarterback Geisert carried the
ball around the Ashland end and
made thirty yard run for touch
down, Hovde failed to kick goal,
the ball falling little short.
The third quarter was about ar
even break, each side being penalized
for ofside plays and the ball was in

Business Boo mers

The difference between dead
t lwn and a i've town is the differ
ence between dead merchants and
live merchants. Some merchants
are so dead or free from enterprise
that it takes sizzling hot thrusts to
awaken enough life in them to even
penetrate the outermOst rim Of bust
ness progress. They will sit around
endeavoring to catch trade that
co3:es to town without offering in
ducemen is to draw business. They
tell the public that they do not ad
vertise in the newspapers, but give
their trade the benefit Of the little
money they might spend in adver-
tislng by giving them more for their
money than the advertiser-which
they know is falaehood.
The advertiser always gives more
and better goods for the money than

for the advertisers goods are turned
quicker and are always new and
up-to date. Besides, the advertiser
is the town boomer while the non
advertiser the town sponger. The
advertiser, through the medium Of
, hiS ads is rpachinu out and bring
ing new people to town to trade and
is thus both directly and indirectly
advertising the town. There is a
way in which every person trading
in this town can help the town, and
that is to encourage enterprise by
y ,trouizing the merchant who does
advertise. ThaJ's one way to boom a
town that should have cur u nira-

lar rights and the cynical abandonment
In this contest | have stood un-
equivocally for the right of the people
to rule themselves. Mr.. barnes can
carry through his plan only If a suf-
fcent number of national committee
men can be induced, in fragrant viola
ton of every principle of fair dealing
to seat in the convention certain dele
gates who have not been elected by the
people and who have not the slightest
right to a seat. and IT, furthermore. the
convention Is content to sit supine while
this Is done. believe that the expecta-
tons OF Mr. Barnes and his associates
will be disappointed in both particulars
PERSONALITY NOT THE ISSUE
believe that there are In the national
committee, enough men, who, although
they have in Eood faith supported Mr..
Taft, will decline to permit themselves
to be made tools for the accomplishment
Of his nomination by unworthy methods.
No man should be chosen as temporary
chairman who Is put forward by Mr..
Barnes and those men who represent
the principles of Mr.. Barnes, for any such
man could not but be responsible for the
reactionary bourbonism Of the Rochester
platform and for the views expressed in

BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week in |
summarizing trade conditions for the |
state. during the month OF May, show |
that the month does not show as large
volume of business this year as was !
shown for the same period last year. al
though in certain lines of manufacturing
there Is a noticeable Improvement. The
late and continued rainy weather has az.
fected the work OF the farmer on the
one hand and has retarded retail busi-
ness on the other with the result that
in a number Of cases merchants will be
forced to take advantage OF sales to ap-
probably move stocks for the summer
goods. There has also crept into certain
lines Of labor some situations which have
resulted In losses not only to State man
ufacturers and merchants but the in
d!viduals themselves. This has percept-
IDLY been felt and noted Among the knit
goods trades the general condition Of busi-
ness looks better than 1t did at the CON-
mencement Of the month. WOODEN man
ufacturers are better supplied with bust
ness than year ago this time
In the stone producing sections the
usual Memorial day rush Is over and the
manufacturers in both granite and mar
BILE report the situation some improved
but the greater demand for monumental
work has been OF the cheaper grades
Several good sized contracts for mauso-
leums have been received. The United
States government report on the total
output OF slate for the year 1911 gives
Its value as something over Ave and
three quarters million Of dollars, &OS 900
less than for the year 1910. In the grand
total Vermont slate producers are known
to have taken their proportionate share
In this decreased amount In speaking
about the near future of the condition OF
chant. as we'll az the manufacturer, takes
the optimistic side of the question Fail
ure reports for the month Just closed
record only two bankruptcies. with total
liabilities Of $l0,67o1l and assets of 81, TO;
one offer OF compromise was also made
The same month last year gave three
failures while May. 1910 recorded seven.
Losses from fires during the month
have been comparatively small with the
exception of the month Of May, 1911, the
total damage, which was 81, 100 from
eight fires affecting II firms was the
smallest since 1908 May last year re-
| corded five fires with total damage Of
$3.50. to five mercantile firms, while the
same month in 1910. gave nine fires affect
ing II firms with total damage OF &c.,
200. Three domestic corporations were
| chartered during the month just closed
with an aggregate capital OF $4,000.

CARRIED FROM BURNING HONE
Mrs. John RawsOn and Three Small
Children Narrowly Escape Death
nj Rutland,

Rutland, June 3-Mrs. John Rawson
and three children. Juliet. Elmer and
Vivian. had a narrow escape from death
by suffocation early this morning The
house at 10 Forest street in which they
and they were awakened by neighbors and
carried from their bedrooms on the sec
ond floor over IA piazza roof and down a
ladder to the ground. All were asleep
when found and had it not been for the
prompt action OF those who discovered
the blaze in securing ladder and enter
ing the house. 1t Is probable that the
inmates would have perished as the
lower floor OF the building was so densey
filled with smoke that no one could enter
there. Mr. Rawson. who is a brakeman
on the Rutland railroad. was away on his
duties and did not return until late this
morning.
A fire alarm was sounded at $50 O'Clock
and station one responded and extin-
guished the blaze with little difficulty, the
woodwork and some of the furnishings in
the room where the lamp exploded only
being burned. IT was the custom Of Mrs
Rawson to leave lighted lamps In the
house through the night because she was
about more or less to care for the chill
dren, all Of whom are less than six years
old. The lamp that caused the fire was
in the sitting room and after the fire
was extingushed the many small pieces
of 1t remaining. and the shattered stand
| upon which it had been set, plainly show
ed the origin of the flames
