NURSES OPEN NEW HOME.
Visitors Inspect Addition to Brightlook
Hospital in st. Johnsbury.

St., Johnsbury, March l6.--The new
nurses home at Brightlook hospital wa:
formally opened Saturday evening. Dur
ing the afternoon it was open for inspec'
ton and many residents of this and
nearby towns visited it.
There was an interesting program
including an address by the president OF
the hospital, Frank billiard Brooks
Joseph Fairbanks, son of the principal
donor, spoke on the "Relation OF the
Hospital TO the Public" and Mrs. DR.
Morrison of Whitefield on 1.-The History
and Development OF Nursing" The pre-
sentation of the home to the hospital as
ISOLATION was made by Miss Rebecca
Fairbanks and the acceptance was by
the vice president, DIR. G. A. Cramton.
The dedieatory prayer was offered by
Rev. DIR. Edward Fairbanks, brother-in-
law of the principal donor. The ex-
or Uses closed with the singing OF the
Doxology by the audience, accompanied
by an orchestra.
In connection with the opening the
nurses held a sale of useful and fancy
articles, the proceeds to be used for fur
nishings for the living room.
The committee in charge of the ex-
ercises consisted of Perley f. Hazen.
chairman; DR.. C. A. Cramton, DIR. w. j.
Aldrieh, Mrs. Harlan n. Wood and Mrs.
L. II. Ross.
The new home is a three story brick
building. 1t is located just south of the
hospital. A large piazza extends the
whole length of the south side of the
building. The home was made possible
by the gift of Mrs Rebecca Fairbanks
Of this town, who has always been a
generous contributor to the hospital.
The requests of $1,000 by the late Miss
Carrie Underwood and of similar
amount by the late Harvelin Paddock in
memory of her son, Edward, provided
funds for the equipment and for the
heating plant, respectively.

The United States Senate is up to

Page over the Goals for something he is
alleged to have said in Great Britain.
even though his quoted utterances do
not accord with the prevailing opinions
OF the people whom he represents. Our
Senate should be more tolerant of in
dividual opinions. 1t should have larger
realization OF possible errors in the
transmission OF inter-ocean messages. Ii
should remember how greatly the APP
pearance OF speech may change if
taken out of its setting.
Secretary Bryan, who is under obi

Page, did not hesitate on March II last
to discuss one domestic policy OF Great
Britain over which its people are diyid.

And he settled it all for them. in way

THE PRoUTY MOVEMENT.
A Home County Newspaper Rather
Skeptical About His Chances.

| This independent movement to elect
Charles A. Prouty United States senator
in face of the fact that he has absolutely
refused to be a candidate, is unpre-
cedented, to say the least. One hardly
knows from what angle the movement
can be judged His numerous friends
throughout the state, and especially his
home friends, would like to see him
United States senator. His ability to
fill the office, and in the most able man
ner, is unquestioned. Those independ-
ent organizations to press an independ-
ent canvass in his behalf proves he is
wanted. But is the present movement
a wise one? Does it not place the cam
didate, or rather the man who is not
a candidate, in rather an embarrassing
position? Ii is pleasant to be in the
hands of friends--very pleasant; but to
be carried by them, virtually gagged and
bound hand and foot, is not so pleasant
after all To be sure Mr.. Prouty does
not like to be carried-is not party to
il; and-this is where the peculiar part
of it comes in. Because he does not ask
to be carried, and has publicly announced
he is not a candidate, which virtually
binds him hand and foot, he can only
watch in an outwardly appreciative
manner, the present demonstration in his
favor, and wonder, somewhat fearfully,
perhaps, how it will all end. Not all
his friends-even many who would vote
for him under different circumstance
will side with this movement It is too
much out of the ordinary-an instance
of the Progressive movement formerly
started for Theodore Roosevelt. Others
viii turn cold shoulder because MIR.
Prouty has practically withdrawn from
the field. And later it win be remem-
bered that Senator Dillingham; is still
alive, and being somewhat alive, it
might be well, considering the peculiar
condition of the present canvass, to
stand by and support him. This is
simply prophecy on our part, but some
times prophecy is strangely fulfilled.
Naturally The Express and Standard
being the home paper of C. A. Prouty,
would like to see him elected senator;
but we have some hesitaney in saving
whether the present independent move
ment in his favor is for the best or
Express and STANDARD.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
FENCING AND POSTS.
Rail and Board Fences Have Had Their
Day.

p. X. Edwards.
Pigs and the board fence were the
bane OF our existence as boys, for nc
matter how securely we fastened the
old boards the pigs would get out just
when we were starting for the swim
ming hole or going berrying. Now con.
crete posts and wire fencing have be-
come substitutes for the boards and
rails and once set are fortunately there
to stay.
But wire fencing is so expensivei"
the reader viii say. The reply to that
is, IF you don't consider the lasting quail
tiles Of good heavy galvanized wire and
the indestructibility of cement posts
The writer remembers putting fifty
five inch woven wire fence around his
garden some nineteen years ago, using
chestnut posts. twenty feet apart. This
fence is still standing and is to all APP
pearances in excellent condition. Regrad-
ing the spacing of the posts around this
garden, which bordered the highway and
required 400 feet of fencing, if we had
used board fence with eight foot post
spacing, thirty more posts would have
been required, and as these cost even
in those days Is cents each, a saving OF
$3.50 was effected. In this particular
case the posts being of chestnut teight
feet long, the butts We're painted with
a creosote preparation and set three feet
in the ground. The gate, corner and end
posts were nine feet, set four feet in the
ground and to the butts of each of these
posts were spiked two four-foot strips
of heavy planking, one near the bottom,
the other on the opposite side three feet
higher up. These acted as anchors, pre-
venting the posts from being loosened
when the wire was frightened. On top
of these anchors large stones were laid
before the earth was replaced.
In using cement posts, which are cas-
lily made at home, be sure to have the
butts OF the corner and end posts ex-
ira heavy and then no anchors are need
ed; also provide for two bolt holes in
each post, one near the top. the other
near the bottom. to be used for the bolas
which hold the wooden strip to which
the wire is stapled.
In setting some 500 feet of poultry
fencing this past year the writer usd
modern heavy woven wire, with six foot
cement posts set three feet in the
ground. To these short posts were bolt
ed five foot wooden strips 3 and A inch
$, to which the wire was stapled. Many
of the cement posts in this case had TO
have extra large butts on account of the
hollows in the ground. which had a ten
dency to pull up the posts.
To-day when tn price of labor is so
high, the stout, easily built wire fence
is an economical investment.

NOT CHARGED BECAUSE INSANE.
Mrs. Eugene Mccarthy Killed Her Sister
1t Was Alleged.

Rutland, March l6-"No bill by rea'
son of insanity was the finding by the
county grand jury Saturday in the case
of Mrs. Eugene Mccarthy of West Rut,
land, who has been at the state hos.
pitaI at Waterbury for observation since
she killed her sister, Miss Alice B. Ker-
rigan of West Rutland last August, hid.
ing the body in cellar where it lay
buried in the floor for five days before
discovery. The failure of the grand
jury to find an indictment means that
Mrs. Mccarthy will not have to face a
petit jury on murder charge. She will
probably remain at Waterbury.
Three indictments Were found in other
cases not yet made public. After MAX
ing their report, the grand jurors, of
whom Philip r. Leavenworth of Castle
ton was foreman, were excused TO be
recalled If needed.

experience has shown the railroads
the wisdom Of building up county
fairs. Therefore the farmer, too,
should wake up and do his part.
Another matter that has pleased
the Republican is the progressive
spirit shown by the county commits
sioners in the matter Of appropria-
tions for the county fair. Certainly
there is no room to complain at the
attitude Of the county officials who
have from the start, as we understand
it, voted liberal appropriations for
fair purposes.
We would suggest that the people
generally show their appreciation Of
this support by taking such an inter-
est in their fair. as will insure it
success, and this means that the
farmer must take time to- collect anl
save exhibits. That is the part TIN
farmer alone can do, for the farme,
produces the stuff out of which count,
fairs are made. saa sg
