The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-12-12

Letters from California tell of the
unemployment in that state, and for the
third winter in succession. 1t extends
from Puget Sound to the Gulf of
Lower California. Thousands are out
Of work in the cities, even in San
Francisco, where the world s fair is
being prepared for Conditions are
worse on the coast than in any other
part of the country. Nowhere else
have bank clearings shrunl1 so much,
almost double the country s, average,
and that average has included New
York where the stock exchange had
cut off nearly one-half the loss of the
whole country So conditions on the
West coast, as measured by bank
clearings, are four times worse than
the average. And why such a drastic
fall in employment Because of the
previous rise! The great abundance of
cheap land, mines, lumber, and oil
made an enormous demand for capital
and labor for their development. There
was such q demand for workers that
| the craftsmen who were most highly
organized got wages of eight or nine
dollars a day. Finally there came d
time when capital could not see a
profit on the existing scale of cost,
and crawled into its hole. That is
what is the matter with the Pacific
coast. Nothing like the distress in
the cities of the West coast will be
seen in the East, because there ha,
not been such . previous expansion tc
react from here.

Small Boys and Fire Arms.


Another shooting accident with small
boys as the actors! There is nothing to
be said about this Calais accident which
has not been said hundreds of times.
Laws will do little to correct the trou-
Bile. 1t is simply matter of family
discipline. Fire arms left where chill
dren may get them or permitting chill
dred to own fire arms is dangerous and
will always produce similar tragedies.
One child has given up his life and an
other child has the memory of his deed
to live with for n lifetime, while the
parents cannot escape their share of
responsibility, all because a boy had a
gun in his hands few moments.

4 little German town at Christmas

respected Pastor and Pastorin desire
for companionable life together, and
who in spite of Mother $ matrimonial
maneuverings, marries her fine Ameri-

SATURDAY, DECEMBER u, 1914.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
las decided that the amount of dam
age collectible on growing timber set
on fire through negligence is not only
the value of the wood destroyed, but
also the injury to the property as a
whole through the destruction of the
young growth. This is a sensible
view and it is probable that the prec-
edent established in Pennsylvania will
be followed in other states.

{ bennington Banner. ]

There is rather well defined
rumor to the effect that the opponents
of a direct primary are preparing to
do their utmost to prevent the enact
ment of primary law by the incoming
legislature. 1t does not seem possible
that there could be serious attempt
to repudiate the expressed wish of the
voters of the state, but there are al
ways a few people who consider their
Judgment to be better than that of
their neighbors.

For many an American reader
Bernhard is the only expositor of Ger

give a fairly accurate likeness. But
not all Germans are extreme Pan-Ger-

Bernhard about as adequate an idea

How to Play Baseball, John McGraw.
In this book Mr. McGraw undertakes
to instruct his readers the same as he
does the young fellows who go south to

practice with the Giants. He does not
promise the young boy or man who
reads and studies his book that they

but he does say that the young boy or
man who studies the book carefully and
heeds the advice will be much better
ball-player than if he had not. One
chapter each is given to the catcher,
the pitcher, first base, second base,
short stop, third base and the outfield,
closing with chapter on team work.

Modern Conditions Make II Practically
Thing Of the Past.
We do not propose either to affirm or
to deny that the bakers make better
bread.than mother used to make"
There used to be as many kinds Of
mothers az there are now varieties Of
bakers. And comparisons are OdiOus
But the baker is to be hailed as one
Of the chief brnefactOrs Of the age. on
grounds which take no account Of the
relative merits Of bread. He has eman-
cipated women. at least one day out
Of the week. He has given vast
army Of mothers more time to perform
the duties other than those which have
to do with the kitchen.
It needs no patriarch to remember
what baking day used to be like. In
summers heat the stove had to be fred
up to the melting point. and mother
had to knead the dough until her back
ached, and stick around In the kitchen
lest the crust become too hard. and
watch against a hundred other mis-.
chances which are to be expected when
the heat releases the chemical action
Of the ingredients in the bread pan.
Baking day Is a thing Of the past
in thousands of homes-at least, the
old fashioned baking day is. The bread
may be better or worse. but the baker
IL to be regarded as a benefactOr in
that he has practically put an end to
that old roasting experience which for
merly came to every woman at least
one day out Of seven.-St Louis Times

AGED WOMAN IS
FOUND DROWNED
Body Of Mrs. lone Sedgwick
Hart, Aged IS, Is Found
In the Wishkah River

When Walter Young went to his mo-
tor boat, moored in the Wishkah river
near his North Aberdeen home, Wed.
nesday morning, he was startled to
discover the body Of woman under
the boat. The body was that Of Mrs.
lone Sedgwick Hart, Is years of age,
mother Of Nat. Hart. city electrician,
who had been missing since early
Tuesday afternoon.
Whether the woman accidentally
fell into the stream and was drowned
or whether she committed suicide Is
not known for certainty. although
the former Is the general assumption.
She has been in the habit Of taking
long walks into the country and being
. lover Of books. frequently visited the
public library. She told friends yes
terday afternoon she planned to visit
the library after she had finished
packing her trunk In readiness to re-
turn to Walla Walla. It was not until
night that the woman's absence caus-
ed alarm. Then q search failed to
locate her. The next morning. when
Young was about to step into his mo-
tor boat, he was Mortified to see the
woman"s body under it. He notified
the police and Coroner R. F. Hunter
and the body was removed to the
Whiteside morgue.
Mrs. Hart was born in Louisville,
in 1889 and was life long member
of the Methodist church. She also
was a member of the Women's Relief
Corps. Since her husband died five
years ago she had lived at Walla
Walla, except the short time she had
resided with her son here. The &C.
cepted theory is that the woman STEP
ped into the river in the darkness.
Besides the son here, two married
daughters survive. The remains will
be shipped to Walla Walla for inter
ment beside the husband.

Why II 10 the st. Lawrence.

The st. Lawrence river owes its
name to the accidental conjunction of
the festival Of St Lawrence with the
day upon which the first explorer i'm
agined he had discovered the river.
jacques Cartier in 1884 heard from the
natives Of the Magdalen islands Of a
mighty stream threading the continent
to an unknown source. and 1t was
while testing this legend that he sailed
up the gulf until he could see the land
on each side. In the following year he
made holder expedition with three
ships and the blessing Of the Bishop
Of St. Malo. He sailed past Rimouski
and on to Quebec. then known by the
Indians rs Stadacona. Here the fleet
anchored. The French, however. fail
ed in their efforts to colonize the cOun-
try until century had passed, largely
owing to their high handed treatment
Of the Indians.-London Chronicle.

IN Summer Time They Fairly Run Riot

Back in the fifties. when Anthony
Trollope held rowing commission as

eminent. he visited Bermuda. then
practically unknown to any people
save mariners. The distinguished au-
thor said some uncOmplimentary things
about the native Bermudians. much to
their amusement. but he could not help
praising the scenery Of their island
home and particularly the oleanders.
He voted that Bermuda should be call
ed the "Olea nder Isles
CuriOuSly enough. Bermuda Is better
known as the home Of the onion and
the Easter lily. to say nothing Of the
potato and the rose, although the Olean-
der is the most gorgeous and conspic-
nous shrub In the islands. Shrub is
hardly the word to describe the Olean-
der. 1t Is really tree, lifting its top
twenty feet in the air and growing in
thickets that the island planters use a.
screens or windbreaks.
In summer the hedges are covered
with a profusion Ut pink. white and
crimson blossoms that last well into
the autumn and make great pashes
of color on the hills and ut the road
side. The 0leander has no enemies.
Animals refuse to touch It, and the
tree runs its riotous way all over the
Islands. Those who visit Bermuda
only in winter miss the glory Of the
oleander blossoms and also many Of
the other gorgeous flowers. While
there Is plenty Of bloom In the winter
months. the array Of flowers IL even
greater In summer.-New York Post

Tragic Wager.

In 1895 three lrishmen agreed to un.
dertake a journey around the earth on
foot for pool Of $15OOOo. Each one
Of the party deposited one-third Of this
sum in the Bank of Dublin. and 1t was
agreed that whoever survived the trip
and returned should receive the whole
amount. In case all died Dublin hos
pital was to become the beneficiary.
On Dec. "a, 1895. they started east
across Europe and Asia Minor to
Egypt. where they took passage for
Australia. Their wanderings through
the inner wastes Of Australia proved
the hardest trials Of the journey. and
the severity Of this trip resulted in the
death Of two Of the travellers. The
third. Captain Trevelyan, completed
the voyage and won the money.
