officers in the order. Interesting remarks
were made by Hon. r. w. Hulburd, con-

spoke briefly and Sir Knight Bryant.
aged 81, the oldest member of the local
organization, read the following, of
which he was the originator:
"Sir Knights, greet you all
A happy Christmas one and all,
Followed by prosperous year!
May you all meet at Christmas call
For many years as l have done.
Until you pass four score and one!'
Sir Knight Bryant received many con-
gratuations on the above and also
upon the fact that he is enjoying good
health at his advanced age Altogether
the event was very interesting and
pleasant one.

Vermont and the Mormons

The death of Joseph Smith, son of the
founder of Mormonism, recalls the fact
that the two first great leaders of this
cult were born in Vermont, Joseph
Smith, who claimed to have had the in
SEPARATION for establishing the faith, was
a native of Sharon, and his birthplace
there is marked as shrine for Mormons
to visit when in New England. Brigham
Young, who probably exercised greater
power than Smith, was born in Whiting
ham. However, most Vermonters have
never taken any great satisfaction In
claiming these two men as our native
sors. We feel good deal more proud
of the fact that George f. Edmunds,
when United States Senator in 1882.
wrote the law which put an end to plo-
lygamy. -Brattleboro Reformer.

RID OF HUMORS
AND AVOID DISEASE

Humors in the blood cause inter-
nal arrangements that affect the
whole system, as well as pimples,
boils and other eruptions. They affect
all the organs and functions, mem
branes and tissues, and are directly
responsible for the readiness with
which some people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsaparilla
has been r'ore successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors
and removing their inward and out
ward effects. 1t is distinguished for
its thoroughness in purifying the
blood, which it enriches and invigor-
ates. No other medicine acts like it,
for no other medicine is like it.

The Middle Man
Editor NeoCs and Cttizen:-

! EuttOT " Gus ana C1ttZen:-
| A great deal is being said now day s
about the middle man and the questio n
arises, Can ne be dispensed with?" in
other words, can we as farmers do with
out him? Is it not quite convenient
these days. when we take into consider
alton the help problem, to have a middle
man 10 help out? Can the average far.
mer afford to start out from his home in
the morning with load of produce and
spend, perhaps, the whole day peddling
around from house t o house and let the
hired help stay at home and run the
farm and have a good time while the
Boss is gone? Can the average farmer
afford to peddle potatoes, for instance,
for ten cents bushel, few in a place,
and many times taking chances on gel
ting his pay!
Can't he afford to hire middle man
to do his work for him cheaper than he
can do ii himself, or even send the hired
man with them? Can he afford to Snip
his produce direct to the consumer and
he sure that this consumer is responsible
and will pay as agreed? Had he not
better hire a middle man at fair COM
pensation. say five per cent, rather than
go himself or take chances in getting his
pay? Furthermore, don't the average
consumer expect to buy these products
quite a little cheaper than they do of
their home merchants? And can't the
commission merchant, being there on
the ground and acquainted, get better
price than the producer would be able to
get, possibly enough extra price to pay
the five per cent commission? Further
more how much does the thrifty house
wife gain, taking one time with another,
by trading with the producer.
The writer remembers of an instance
where a good. honest village woman
paid twenty cents each for two pump
kins. The producer made her believe
they were very scarce and hard 70 get
any price, but that afternoon her atten-
ton was called to a lot of nice pumpkins
at grocery store marked 10 cents each.
The writer knows of many instances
where the house wife would have been
shamefully cheated if she had not called
her grocer on the phone and got posted
up before trading with the so-called pro-
Queer.
Again, is it not quite convenient t
times, say when the husband gets out OF
work, or sickness gets into the family, to
have a middle man. the grocer, who will
extend them credit for short while and
bridge them over until they get into
shape again and on their feet? Will the
producer be around about that time to
help them out' Oh, mol He will drive
right past that house, if he knows they
are in trouble. for fear they might ask
him to helpor extend them little credit.
1t is the same with the farmer. He is
obliged to ask favors at times and the
middle man is surely the one who favors
him.
Many a young farmer who has got his
farm paid for and is doing a thrifty bust.
ness, can look back and thank the middle
man for carrying him along, extending
him credit and renewing his notes when
hard pressed.
On the whole. how are the farmers or
the village people going to dispense with
the middle man? Let as hear

Basket Ball

severe defeat last Friday evening at the
hands of FIVE former p A. stars. The
latter trimmed them SO to ~. The game
was rather slow but showed signs of life
at various intervals. The Alumni five
which went up against the school team
was one of the best Alumni teams which
ever played against P. A. They out
classed the P. A. boys in weight and ex
perience.
After the game, the P. A. boys felt as
though they had not worked as hard as
they ought, but, although this may be
partly the reason, the victors had by far
the best team. Following is the lineup:

show the people that their team has not
SLOWED up. but instead has been made
keener since their defeat. 1t will surely
be good contest. Turn out and show
the boys that your interest in them has
not ceased. They appreciate your pat

Governor Fletcher has been real citi-
zen of this State but few years, but he
has managed to make his way to the gov
ernorship of Vermont and consequently
has obtained power to thrust aside capa-
BILE, honest, honorable servants of the
people if he SO desires. For a man who
has done SO little during his lifetime for
the upbuilding of the State as has Gov
Fletcher, to hit Justice Munson a slap by
jumping younger man over his head to
the Chief JusticeshIp, and then finally
kicking Mr.. Munson off the bench en-
tirely, and replacing him with young
man with no experience as a judge, is an
act of arrogsncy extreme ly distasteful to
the people. In fact, his whole attitude
towards the judiciary of Vermont is
meeting with general disapproval; and
his explanations of his attitude are not
gaining him any friends and admirers.-

At the last term Of court, during a
criminal trial the district attorney
put his star witness on the stand, only
to find out that the witness knew alb
solutely nothing about the case. He
asked the judge for a short recess,
which was granted. He then took
the witness to a private room and
questioned him. He explained to the
witness he had his testimony, written
out, signed and sworn to, and If he
did not testify as he did before he
would send him up for perjury. The
witness then admitted his original
testimony was right, but explained
that the night before the lawyer for
the defense had all the peoples witt
nesses up to his office, found out what
they would testify to, and told him
how to testify. The district attorney
then went back to the court room
with the witness, who told a straight
story. The matter was laid before
j uuBb NbDl6bu, wiz CdllGu q mOOuAAb
of the bar, and turned the matter
over to the meeting. There was great
indignation among the lawyers that
one Of their numbers should commit
such a breach of legal etiquet, and
there was a wrangle among them as
to what should be done with the err
ing brother. Finally, one Of the old
est members Of the local bar, who had
been practising before the courts of
Grant county for more than thirty
years, addressed his fellow lawyers.
He fairly exhuded the milk Of human
kindness, and proceeded to tell the
tale of the woman who was taken in
adultery, and brought before Christ
that he might judge her; how the
penalty for that crime was stoning the
woman to death; how Jesus looked at
the woman and the %accusers and said;
"He that is without sin among you,
let him cast the first stone at her"
There being no rocks in the court
room the meeting adjourned without
date.

under the ladder that leads to the
gallery in the theater. He gave the
alarm. Before water could be got on
the fire 1t had a good start. Even
tually it was put out, as there was a
good head Of water. The building
was damaged to the extent Of several
hundred dollars, but is insured. 1t is
owned by John T. Muir. The moving
picture machine was somewhat dam
aged, but can be easily repaired. The
fire got into the attic and burned the
ropes which held up the curtain, let
ting 1t fall, and In falling 1t covered
the piano, and protected 1t from the
water. The contents OF the theater
are owned by D. W. Briel who had
no insurance, but his loss is not
heavy. The fire communicated TO the

Small, but was put out doing about
two hundred dollars damage, which
was covered by insurance. The con
tents OF the adjoining buildings we're
