st. Johnsbury authorities made
short work of arresting and timing the
parties responsible for gambling
schemes at the fair there In this
regard the scale town set other places

We Need More Such Schools.
Is not the turning away of fifty
applicants for admission to the agri-
cultural institute at Lyndon a signifi-
cant straw in the direction of
increasing interest in the gaining OF
such knowledge as the farmer must
have to make a success of his calling?

New Yet Old.
The papers are full of a great
scientists discovery that there is life
after death. And yet few old fash

about science, but have been going to

Wonders.
Hildreth of the Newport Express
and Standard was very emphatic in
giving his reasons why John Redmond
was not exactly fitted for place on
supreme court bench. w onder if
Hildreth's fine awhile ago for remarks
defamatory of the supreme court had
anything to do with his arriving at this
conclusion-Hyde Park News and
Citizen.
Would be Extremely Popular.
1t is the opinion of the Barton
Monitor that the entrance of Interstate
Commerce Commissioner G. A. Prouty
into the senatorial fight would be
nearly equivalent to his election by the
the people of state. This view of the
situation is a bit too optimistic,
although it is conceded that Prouty
would be an extremely popular candi-
date. -Brattleboro Reformer.
Talk in Vermont.
Not many Vermonters know that
their state produces a large and
rapidly increasing quantity of the
mineral known as tale, and fewer still
know that the largest single producer
of this mineral in the United States
has its mines and mills located near
the headwaters of two branches of the
White River in Rochester, Stockbridge
and East Granville. The concern is
known as the Eastern Tale company.

Long Air Flights.
The new hero of the airlanes is
Garros, who on Tuesday flew across
the Mediterranean from France to
Tunis. This plucky son of the worlds
foremost nation in aviation, France,
showed his absolute confidence in him
self and his machine when he refused
to attach foaters to his aeropIane or
to accept a patrol of torpedo boats in
case he should have to descend on the
water, and his flight of 900 miles is the
! longest ever made over sea. In view
of such a feat, who ventures to laugh
at the idea that the Atlantic will yet
be crossed in an airship?-Rutland

Interesting Experiment.
An interesting experiment has been
tried at Silver lake in the town of
Barnard where the cottages have CO.
operated with the state fish and game
department in exterminating all the
fish that have inhabited these water
preparatory to stocking them with
trout and salmon-varieties for which
the lake is well suited Throughout
the state there are many natural trout
waters from which this species Of
game fish has been driven by perch
and pickerel, and the Barnard expert
ment will be watched with keen inter-
est by sportsmen. -Brattleboro Re-
