Miss Dale Well Treated in Germany.

Miss Esther Dale, who has been stay
ing in New York since her return from
Germany, will not GONE at present to
Townshend, but wilF go directly to her
college work. Miss Dale writes that she
was well treated in Germany, has con
tinued her vocal lessons throughout the
month and suffered no Inconvenience
in any way. Those who yielded to the
first panic and started in crowds, were
the ones who suffered such hardships
as has been told in the papers. On the
journey from Berlin to Rotterdam the
train was crowded and there were no
sleeping ears for the two nights Miss
Dale could only secure steerage passage
on the steamer in which she sailed.
The food and accommodations were
poor and feas and rodents numerous.
Miss Dale speaks highly of the kindness
of the German people, telling how they
not only treated the Americans with
greatest respect, but took them into
their houses and cared for those who
were left without a money supply.

Frank l.. Greene, congressman now
and to be from the First district. was
the best presiding convention chairman
seen in a Republican state convention
by the present generation. Fair and
courteous, he conducted the business Of
the convention as expeditiously as pos
sibIe. His charm of manner, his com
plete mastery of himself and the CON
vention, and his conversational way of
addressing the delegates in his usual
witty and incisive style at a time when
there would ordinarily have been mo-
notonv in the proceedings, made great
hit Greene was in his element and it
was a great day for him.

flushed, as the health officer has sug-
gested, the trouble would disappear. In
spite of its occasional discoloration and
odor the water which Brattleboro peo-
pie use is of exceptional purity as re-
peated analyses have shown. Further
more, there is probably not another
town in the state whose supply is more
ample. The only cause for regret is
that the village did not buy the system
when it had an opportunity.

We hear from various sources in New
Hampshire that states first exper-
fence with a direct primary law was
disappointing. The criticism is to the
effect that it gives the state virtually
two elections, and that personalities
and not principles entered almost
wholly into the discussion, with the re
suit that bitter antagonisims have been
aroused which will not be obIiteratcd
for wears.

water supply. Thus far, however, his in
vestigations have failed to convince
him that the water contains anything
more harmful than plain dirt, which
has been allowed to collect in the mains
and is no doubt stirred up more or
less during the period when water is
used freely for lawns, street sprinkling,

The number Of pupils from neiehbor-
ing towns who attend the Brattleboro
high school increases every year The
proportion of tuition pupils is indicat-
Ell in the announcement that the fresh
man class is more than twice as large
as that which was graduated from the
ninth grade of the local public schools
last spring. Many of these, of course,
are residents of Brattleboro who live
without the incorporated school dis
trict while a considerable number each
year enter the high school at the close
of their course in the local parochial
institution, but in addition to these
there are many boys and girls who
come here from such distance tina
the most economical way is for them
to remain through the week. Thus they
add not a little to Brattleboro' : fall
and winter population and every local
business establishment is at least in
directly gamer thereby Folks who
are inclined to the belief that the high
school 5 policy of taking tuition pupils
is foolish one should not overlook the
advantages that come from having the
young people at least temporary resi-
dents of the town.

The MeddIer
If the coat fits goa, pat It on''

Evidences of the approach of Valley

to the alluring advertising which the
management of the show is Distributing.
one notices such significant activities
as track work on the local trolley road
something that seldom takes place
except in preparation for special oc-
casions-hi9hway Improvement in the
direction of the fair grounds, an oc-
casional trotting horse logged through
Main street, new paint on the fair
