Davis, State cattle commissioner, today
issued qual entine against the receiv-
ing Of cattle in Vermont from any other
States, to be in effect until such time
as he is satisfied that the danger from

such guarantees. Maine has also done
likewise, as well as the Dominion of
Canada.
Maine, New. Hampshire, Connecticut

disease
Commissioner Davis hopes to be able
to remove the quarantine within short
time, so that the cattle transportation
may be resumed. He thought the period
might be from two to six weeks.

to believe the vessel was fired by Ger
man spies who were members of the
crew. The captain is said to have
claimed that threats against the ship
were made before she steamed from
Baltimore Saturday. No confirmation
of these reports was available.
To night the Rembrant was 10 miles
off Cape Henry, disposing of the car
cases of the horses. She will proceed
to Newport News for repairs. Forward
compartments of the ship are reported
badly damaged.
When the fire was discovered the ship
was 200 miles off the Capes. The smoke
was so dense that the crew could not
reach the flames and the stampeded AMI
mails were left to their fate. The ship
hold was flooded and the matches closed,
smothering out the fire.

One good result of the recent rather
serious fire in Brattleboro is likely to be
the adoption of regulations governing
the construction of buildings in the bus
mess district of the community, or per-
haps the enforcement of existing regu-
lations which may be interpreted to cover
the case in hand. Practically all the
buildings that were destroyed in the
$50, 900 fire of a week ago were con-
structed of wood and were placed rather
closely together, thus making serious
fire hazard, especially since the nature
of the business conducted in the struc-
lures was rather conducive to the out
break of flames Now that the himsy
structures have been removed through
the agency of fire there is insistent de-
mand in Brattleboro that the buildings
to replace them be made of some sub
stantial material such as brick. Those
who are backing up the demand ought
to receive the support of the whole com
munity. The fire danger should be re-
moved as much as possible from the
center of busy community like
Brattleboro; and to permit the erection
of wooden building to replace the burned
structures will be step backward The
same principle applies to any community
whose prospects for development are as
favorable as Brattleboro' chances are
generally considered. Barre Times.

or not a road tax will be levied. If
the proposition is carried, it will
do away with the old systems of
road working. Each ward is
separate and can carry or defeat

wards. In our next issue we will
give more details as to the system
of the road tax.

To Ask Federal Aid.

With representation from more
than two-thirds of the States in the
Union, the eleventh annual meet
ing of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America
has come to close in Forth
Worth, Tex. after a three days
session. The keynote of the con-
Nention was the action of the
body in voting to ask direct aid
from the government i'll the present
crisis which confronts the Ameri-
can farmer as a result of the
titanic struggle across the water.
A plan was formulated whereby
the Federal government will be
asked to tide the farmers oyer the
emergency. and committee was
appointed to go to Washington to
consult. with Federal authorities
relative to the situation.
A high tribute was paid to the
work of Peter Radford by National
President, c. S. Barret, i'll his
opening address to the convention,
who declared that it was the
Radford type of men which keep
ones faith sound, his courage
high and renews his faith in
humanity.

The Gueydan News came out
last week with a fine article OH
their policies jury member, con-
graduating him, etc. 1t mentioned
as an interesting feature of meet
ing of the purchasing committee
of the police jury. a tilt between
Mr.. Caesar Broussard and J. F.
Ritter, stating that Mr.. Ritter is
an agent for some factory, and
wished to advise the committee as
to what kind of machinery is best
fitted for the purpose outlined. The
article goes on to say that Mr..
Broussard would not take any adj
vice as to what they would buy,
and took his hat and left.
We are at loss to account for
such an article, as the fact is, the
police jury is contemplating buying
road machine, or tractor, and
the committee invited Mr.. Ritter in
to give them advice OIL the matter.
Mr.. Ritter is not an agent of any
tractor machines, and we have
been reliably informed that the
said Mr.. Broussard is representing
a concern.
We would suggest to the News
editor that there are two sides to
everything.
