BENNINGTON. VT, FEB. IL, 1913

The two newspapers at Brattleboro
are to be combined the first of March
and will issue one daily and one week
ly paper after that date. This is the
tendency of the newspaper field and
is growing more and more marked in
recent years. Publishing news,
paper in country town is a precar.
ious proposition and very few Of
them pay more than bare living to
their owners. Bfattleboro is town
in Itself not much larger than Ben
ington, but because of the larger
population of surrounding towns is
many times better as a newspaper
publication center. For over thirty
years it has had two newspapers and
as result every merchant has been
compelled to pay two advertising
charges in order to reach the buying
public of the town and the surround
ing territory. With only one paper
in the field the merchants will be
able to reach practically every pos
sible buyer through one advertising
account at reduced expense. AS
matter of fact the income OF news
paper practically all comes from the
advertisers as the subscriptions
amount to comparatively little in
comparison. The change therefore
will be of great advantage to every
advertiser while the readers will be
just as we'll served. The owners of
the new consolidation are w. 4. Hub
bard, editor and publisher OF the Yer
mont Phoenix; and Z. II. Crane and
Howard c. Rice, editors and publish.
ers of the Brattleboro Reformer.
They all rank high in newspaper cir
Giles in this state and will give the
people of Brattleboro just ss good
daily newspaper as the income from
the proposition will permit.

AUTOMOBILE COLLISION
Miraculous Escape in Bad Mix-up on
Outskirts of Sank Centre Sunday
Evening

Last Sunday evening when A.G.
Englund accompanied by his wife
and daughter Evelyn and Henry. Stin-
son of Starbuck were returning from
tiIe state fair in Mr.. Englund's large
Oldsmobile and had reached the Ho-
boken hill, Sank Centre, they saw a
horse and buggy coming down the
hi. Mr.. Englund blew his horn,
slowed down his machine and turned
p tlE out of the road to allow the
holsf and buggy to pass which it did
in safety. Immediately following the
buggy came a Buick run-about driven
by W. B. Hines of Osakis, contain
ing himself and a young lady. For
some reason he seemed to have lost
partial control of his Car and turned
out on the same side of the road that
Mr.. Englund had and the Buick 60
ing at a high rate of speed crashed in
to the larger Car. The occupants of
the run-abeut were hurled forward
over the wind shield but miraculous
ly escaped any serious injury. The
occupants of the Oldsmobile were
somewhat Jared by the crash but
were not thrown from the car. The
run-about was a complete wreck and
Mr.. Englund's car was SO badly dam
aged that he was compelled to remain
in the CITY until IL O'Clock Monday
night when they left for Starbuck.
No particular blame attaches to
any of the parties. 1t was one Of
those accidents that will happen &C.
casionally and the participants are to
be congratulated that they escaped as
lightly as they did.

TAKE MEIROsE by STORM
Sank Centre Fair Boosters to the Number
of Nearly 20 Visit Sister
City Tuesday


Tuesday evening about forty auto
mobiles loaded with boosters for the
Stearns County Fair now being held
at Sank Centre visited Melrose ac-
.companied by the band and gave the
residents of that thriving little city a
serenade.
Attorney Donahue, of Melrose Off
ciated as master of ceremonies at the
park and after a number of musical
selections proceeded to have some
sport with a number of victims by
calling on them for impromptu adj
dresses.
In prefacing his introduction of
Hon. Frank Eddy, the official speiler
for the fair he stated that this erst-
while gentleman was the head of a
"beauty" show to be pulled off at the
fair. AS coiner of unique phrases
and words the former congressman is
an adept and in the Is or 20 minutes
in which he addressed the 1850 peo-
pie assembled he painted picture of
the beauty, prosperity and progress Of
Stearns county that almost convinced
his audience that they were in real
ity living in fairy land where milk
and honey flowed in abundance. He
dialated on the attractions at the
fair convincing himself that the
present fair is the very best ever held
outside the Twin Cities, which by
the way is no joke.
AS the official "spiel'' artist Frank
is wouder, and should he ever start
out as "ballyho" man for any at
traction he would have people falling
over themselves endeavoring to pur.
chase tickets to see his show.
DR.. Hilbert, DIR. and Mayor Camp
bell, and Attorney Stevens of Melrose
bid the visitors welcome to the town
and gave their solemn promise that
every man, woman and child in their
city and vicinity would be on hand on
Melrose day at the fair. They said
their love Tor Sank centre ana It's IN
habitapts was of the undyinp variety.
DR.. ]. A. Dubois, Hon. Frank Min
etre, President of the Commercial
Club DIR. Henneman, Editor of the
Herald Wallace and Mayor McGibbon
of Sank Centre closed up some of the
very few gaps left by the other
speakers.
After listening to the talks by the
various speakers one is of the firm
conviction that Sank Centre and
Melrose dwells together in peace and
harmony even if Sank Centre did in
the early days, acclaimed by Attorney
Donahue, allege that Melrose was
made up of slow Dutch who wore
wooden shoes

HOG CHOLERA
Bulletin Issued by the Veterinary Divis-
ion of the Minnesota College of
Agriculture

We desire to put before the farmers
of Minnesota information concerning
the present and prospective hog
cholera situation.
1t is already quite certain that.
Minnesota is having the worst hog
cholera year in her history. Direct
losses are undoubtedly running into
the millions of dollars. Indirect
losses resulting from marketing of
immature stock and breeding stock
by cholera cannot be estimated.
The purpose of this leafiet is in
part to put before hog owners fair
statement of the situation at the
state cholera serum plant and to
urge that everything possible be done
to protect breeding stock and hold it
over for next years prospective crop.
Our state serum>piant was given by
the legislature fund Of Sic, 900. 90 a
year for two years, with provisions
that serum must be sold at one third
of a cent per cubic centimeter, which
is one-fourth actual cost.
Hog cholera prevails so generally
over the state that orders for serum
are constantly being received, in great
excess of the possible production Ca
pacity of the plant. Serum work is
being pushed to the limit of available
means and everything is being done
that can be done in a small plant to
reduce losses.
Serum is being sent out only for
use in herds recently infected. For
several reasons we cannot make any
attempt to protect herds that are as
yet infected and in sick herds we
hope for the cooperation of owners so
that the available serum can be used
as largely as possible to save breeding
stock. -
Hogs that are anywhere near ready
for market should be marketed when
cholera appears in the immediate
neighborhood. u
All possible sanitary precautions
should be observed to protect healthy
herds. Owners should send to this
institution for copy of Extension
Bulletin No. 81, which gives full in
formation. Copies can also be Sc
cured of Ben F. Du Bois, secretary of
the Stearns County Agricultural So
ciety at the First State Bank, Sank
Centre.
We cannot possibly supply the
amount of serum needed now for sick
herds, but can perhaps furnish enough
serum to save breeding stock.
In view of this serious situation,
owners are urged to help us avoid
every possible waste of serum. Please
do not ask for serum for herds where
the disease has prevailed for some
time and the herd is already in very
bad shape. Do not waste serum on
herds in infected territory for the
protection given to such herds is
temporary. Use serum Immediately
at the first appearance of disease in
the herd. If you cannot get State
serum get the best commercial serum
available.
We repeat, that very much can be
done by careful management and SAN
itary precautions to protect healthy
herds without serum.
Hog cholera does not usually reach
a healthy herd, unless it is carried
there by some very argible agent
like dogs, hog-racks, infected shoes
and clothing, or infected litter.
II possible, divide your herd up into
several small lots and keep them sep
arate. In case cholera then reaches
