Halfpence and fartbings were not
coined in England before the time Of
Edward l., and until they were the
penny. which was then made Of silver,
was issued deeply indented with a
cross in order that it might be broken
into two pieces for halfpennies or into
four things, or farthings. The silver
penny was the first coin Of the Anglo
Saxons struck in England. In 1872 an
authorized coinage Of copper pennies,
balfpennies and farthings was estab-
lished. Silver farthings ceased TO be
coined under Edward VI. and silver
halfpennies under the commonwealth.

The common suspicion that Editor
J.. p. Thayer of the Morrisville Messen-
ger was one of the delegation of five
Lamoille county men, who conveyed to
Colonel Roosevelt the information that
their section was strong for him, is dis
sipated by a statement by the editor
himself in the current issue of his paper,
as follows:
"The papers of Friday contained the
startling news that five Lamolle county
men visited Theodore Roosevelt at Oys-
ter Bay Thursday, but failed to give
their names. This paper has the names
ready to print at the proper time. Sud
den conversions have been known in
politics as we'll as in the days of St
Paul The editor of The Messenger, who
instituted the ballot that caused this
sudden change of heart, was not in the
party, being detained at home March
by important business"
Most of the other well-known citizens
of Lamoille county have been accounted
for on that day when the committee
of five" visited Oyster Bay and had the
New York reporters on the nervous seat,
so that it seems that the contemporary
ought to divulge the information which
It declares it possesses. We don't for
moment doubt the contemporary as
sertion, but we do hate to be kept on
the anxious seat for so long. Therefore,
put with the information, neighbor!

"Do you know Bellows Falls?" is the
direct question which is put by little
circular just put out by the board Of
trade of that hustling village in southern
Vermont. And even if one does, or does
not, know Bellows Falls, he viii be in
terested very much in the splendid illus
trated booklet which the board of trade
has published to interest people in that
section of the state. The publishers have
prepared such an interesting description
that it would not be surprising if many
people who do not now know Bellows
Falls will be anxious to become more
intimately acquainted. It is a book OF
art, printed on heavily-coated paper,
with illustrations clear-cut and with
word sketches sufficiently concise to hold
the attention of the casual reader. The
board of trade of Bellows Falls is to be
complimented on it.

Fine Entertainment Given By School Pu-
pills and Teachers.


The pupils and teachers Of the public
school scored an unqualified success at
their entertainment held in opera hall
Thursday evening of this week The
hall was filled with an appreciatiye au-
dience, consisting largely Of parents and
relatives of the pupils. The first num-
Dor on the program was dainty solo
by little Miss Mildred Patton. She was
obliged to respond to an encore The
second number was a mother goose play.

intr oduced twenty three Of the well
known mother goose characters With
the exception of mother goose, fairy
godmother and Mistress Hood, the plav-
ers were all from the primary depart
ulents. The finale to this charming lit.
tie play was a song given by twenty
four little tots in fairy costumes, who
danced on and off the stage in a cap
tiyating manner The third number was
a farce. entitled. "A Matrimonial Ad-
yertiscment' This was well rendered
by pupils OF the grammar grade Mrs.
Patton gave a piano solo while the stage
was being set for the two.act eantata
entitled, "Gyp Junior The solo and
chorus work in this was exceptionally
good and merited the frequent applause
accorded it, Last. but not least. on the
program, was fan drill rendered by
sixteen boys and girls in costume. At
the close of the entertainment, Town
Superintendent Of Schools G. J. Seager,
gave an interesting talk.

The official record of fires in Vermont
puts Rutland city at the top of the list
for fire-fghting efficiency, as indicated by
the amount of damage done. The aver
age loss for Rutlands 81 fires was only
$2l0 That's fine record, surely. Rut
land News.
As long as you call attention to Rut
lands good record, we are inclined TO add
that Barrels was not much behind Rut-
land. There were IS fires in Barre dur
ing the year, and the average loss was
1928, according TO the statistics com
piled by the state insurance commits
sioner.-Barre Times.
But why overlook the really good rec.
ords? Essex Junction had four fires
with total of $l32.37, an average OF
$1,000 Compared with Rutland and
Barre, Essex functions fire laddies are
world beaters.- Burlington Clipper.
1t can't be, of course, that Essex June
tion hasn't anything worth burning.
Still, in comparing records like these,
some reckoning must be made OF the
property endangered. For instance, you
can burn many henhouses and still have
a small average loss.

A WORK FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Back in the mountain districts of va
rious parts of the country, there is a
spirit of personal liberty which brooks
no opposition and is intolerant Of those
restraints which organized society has
discovered are the best for the greatest
number of people The flame of lawless-
ness which burst out in full fury in
the Hillsville, Va, courthouse earlier in
the week was a terrible revelation Of
that spirit. People exist in those regions
more by families than by any other
connection; and an injury, real or imag
mary, is almost certain to call forth re-
taliation. If it is the law which is
believed to have done injury, it is treat
ed with no more respect than would
be the neighbor who crossed ones path
Hence, we read about the wreaking OF
vengeance on the representatives of the
law in the Carroll county court, when
Judge, prosecutor, sheriff were slain in
their places and many of the jury which
had brought a hostile verdict were laid
low with injuries, mortal or very seri-
Gus.
What to do with this class of people,
how to bring them, not under subsection
to, but in sympathy with, the laws Of
organized society is serious problem.
