COUNTY AGENT AT FAIR
Gave Good Demonstration for CAL
edOnia County-His Plans

County Agent StImson was at the
state fair last week with the other
county agents and maintained a dem
onstration tent there. Each agent
had some showing distinctive of
his county and Mr.. Stimson had ex-
hibits showing the corn demonstra-
ton work in this county. Another
exhibit that attracted much atten-
ton was showing Of farm manage
ment of two farms in Caledonia coun-
ty. One farm was valued at $4,000
and after supporting the farmers
family yielded a profit of $4,000.
Another farm was valued at $12,-
600 and after supporting the family
showed a loss of over $500. Each
of these farms contained good land
but the difference in results was
simply the management of them.
Mr.. Stimson attended the school
garden fair at Lyndon last Saturday,
is at the Sheffield grange fair today
and will attend the grange fair at
East Hardwick Saturday.
Caledonia county was we'll repre-
sented at the state fair both in

FATAL FIRE AT BARNET
Betty Adams Died From Injuries
When the ''NeiIson House" Was
Burned-HOrses Burned.

Mrs. Betty Adams, woman over
70 years old, received injuries from
which she died within "a hours in a
fire last Friday morning that des-
troyed the Nelson House. and
barn and burned seven horses and
eight hogs. The inmates of the
hotel barely escaped with their lives
and two families living in the tene-
ments in the house saved a part of
their furniture. James Hall, who
entered the burning building to
rescue the baby of Mr.. and Mrs. AL
vim Bandy, nearly succumbed to
heart failure but is recovering.
The fire was discovered in the
shed between the house and barn
about $50 in the morning by Mrs
Minnie Campbell who had arisen to
test the telephone lines. She gave
the alarm by telephone and the in
mates were awakened in time to es-
cape with what clothing they could
carry in their hands. Mrs. Adams
was found at the foot of the stairs,
unconscious from blows on her
and crushed wrist. She was carried
ed consciousness and died at two
o'clock the next morning.
George Walker, who owned the
house was quite badly burned about
the feet, neck and hands.
Seven horses, six belonging to
Mr. Walker and one to Maurice Co.
hen, and eight hogs were burned in
the barn. One horse with it's blan-
ket on fire jumped through a win
dow on the back side Of the barn
and was saved although badly burn
ed Mr.. Walker saved his automo-
bile but it was quite badly blistered
by the heat.
Besides losing his horse, Mr.. Co
hen lost 1926 cash and his clothing.
Ed Champany lost his money and
Gertrude Champany lost money and
clothing.
Arthur Lamb and Alvin Bandv
who lived in the tenements saved
part of their furniture.
Mr.. Walker had $4,000 insurance
on the buildings which covered
about half of his loss.
The fremen made a very hard
fight and succeeded in preventing
the house of John Robinson YVES
quite badly scorched.

JUDGE SLACK NOW
G. M. Powers Made Chief Justice
and Judge Taylor Goes to
Supreme Bench.

Gov. Allen M. Fletcher has ap-
pointed Associate Justice George M.
Powers OF Morrisville to be Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Yer
mont, Judge VIM. H. Taylor to be
Associate Justice to fill the vacancy
caused by the promotion of Justice
Powers and Leighton p. Slack of st.
Johnsbury to be Superior Judge to
fill the vacancy caused by the pro-
motion of Judge Taylor. In these
appointments the governor ignored
the established system of promotion
in Vermont courts and chose the men
that he thought best qualified to fill
the positions made vacant by
the resignation of Chief Justice
Rowell which takes effect ON Sept
ember 80 after the longest term of
service on the bench in the history
of the state.
The appointment of Ex-Lieut Gov
L. P. Slack to judgeship is fitting
recognition of one of the members
of the Vermont bar in the prime of
life and will give general satisfac
tiOn. 1t also means the dissolution
of next to the oldest law firm in the
state. In May 1895 Mr.. Slack be-
came associated with Hon. Alexan-
der Dunnett in the law and with
the exception of Batchelder and
Bates in Bennington there is not an
other law firm now in existence that
was in existence at that time.
Judge Slack has not received his
assignments as yet but it would
seem probable that he will be sent

Judge Taylor. Judge Taylor will sit
with the Supreme Court for the first
time on the first Tuesday of October
when the October term opens.

Vermont In 1893 he married Ger
trude F. Woodbury. of Burlington.
They have four children, Horace

Powers was states attorney for La
noble county from 1888 to 1890:

1886 and 1888; secretary of the Sen
ate 1890, 1892, and 1894; reporter
of decisions from 1902 to 1904. He
was a Judge of the supreme court
from 1904 to 1906 and he was SUI
perior judge from 1906 to 1909, and
has since been on the supreme bench.

islature of 1895. He is a Universal
