NEW ENGLAND FARMER LOSING
Because He Tried to Market Miscel-
laneous Lot of Products.

Rutland Feb. 2l.--Elbert s. Brigha M
.of st. Albans, state commissioner of ag-
rieulture. addressed about $50 members
of Killington Pomona grange. II. and H.,
at the quarterly meeting here yesterday
on Agricultural Development in YER
mont" The balance of the program of
the melting, of which there was a morn
ing and an afternoon session, consisted
OF music and discussions by members of
various subordinate oranges. Dinner
was served to visitors. The fifth degree
was conferred.
Mr.. Brigham said in part: The "devel-
opment of agriculture in Vermont de-
pends upon the better education OF the
farmer; the application OF principles
taught by science TO farm problems ;
better business methods. which include
selection of crops which have a pos
sibility of giving the largest profit and
the use of machinery whereby labor can
be saved
Another important factor is the pur-
chase of raw material to the best adj
vantage Farmers must cooperate in
marketing so that a sufficient volume
of produce may be assembled and pre-
pared for market by grading it accord
ing TO definite standard
"The New England farme$ is losing
out by attempting to market miscel-
laneous lot of unstandardized produce
while farmers in the west, by eo-operat-
ing for the purpose OF standardizing
their products and shipping in large vol
ume, are getting away from us the best
market cities on the Atlantic sea board"

of guilty at once. The court sentenced
her to not less than year and half
at the states prison in Windsor nor
more than three years. The woman said
her husband had been dead for num-
ber of years and that she had been liv-
ing with Harper for five years, most Of
which time was in Plattsburgh. They
have been in Burlington since last May.
She said she was AS years of age Har-
per declared he was not guilty and said
he would take his chances in trial in
county court. The testimony of the
woman was taken against him at pre-
liminary hearing and he was held in
the sum Of $500, which amount he is
unable to furnish. States Attorney

per had a wife living there and that she
had begun proceedings against him for
divorce. Harper is 81 years of age.

annual gymnasium exhibit list evening
in the church auditorium and greatly
pleased those who attended. The He'd
ding campfire has membership of 2l,
OF whom Is participated in last nights
event. These girls are doing the regu-
lar second year gymnasium work. in
which they have been most successful. as
evidenced by last nights entertainment.
Miss Florence Shipman of Montpelier
drilled the participants in this line and
the motions of the different drills went
like clockwork There were songs, drills
and tableaux by the girls and readings
by Miss Marguerite Albertson, teacher
of eIocution at Montpelier seminary
Miss AIbertson was much enjoyed. Cap
tivating in appearance and manner, she
won the hearts of her audience and was
obliged to respond to eneores. She gave
in all FIVE readings.
Fifty views of campfire life and
amusements were shown upon the cur
tain, the stereoptieon being in charge OF
Hobart Newell, with explanations by
Miss Ella Hoyt. These came direct from
the campfire headquarters in Boston and
gave good ideas of the different branches
of work into which the campfire girls
have entered. A musical selection on the
organ and piano, by Mrs. Nellie oliver
and Miss Bertha Hooker, proved pleas
ing number on the program.
To Mrs. +. r. Newell, guardian of the
Hedding campfire girls, must be given
much credit for the success of the even
ing, together with her assistants, Miss
Abbie Mack and Miss Eva Smith, who
helped with the music; Miss Shipman for
her work in drilling the girls, and Miss
Albertson for her readings. The money.
of which neat sum was made, will go
toward the support of a little Japanese
girl in school on the Pacific coast, in
whom the campfire girls have become in

the House, Was Away
in the Woods

Ashland, Me, Feb. 2l.-Fiye children
were burned to death and sixth was
rescued by its mother at Eagle Lake
Plantation early this morning when fire
broke out in the residence of Joseph
Smart, lumber scaler. Mrs. Smart was
in charge of the house at the time, her
husband being at Portage, where he was
engaged at work in the woods. On dis
covering the fire the woman grasped one
of her six children and fled from the
home, being forced to leave the other
five to their fate.
The burned children were asleep on
the second floor, while Mrs. Smart and
the oldest girl slept downstairs. The fire
started around the chimney, and Mrs.
Smart had barely time to escape with
her daughter. When the neighbors dis
covered the fire, the house was doomed.
Mrs. Smart was found on the roof of
a shed. She was practically without
clothing. The frantic woman was ems
deavoring to break window into the
upper story, in order to rescue the other
children.
Mrs. Smart was cut by the broken
glass and was benuInbed by the cold,
the temperature being many degrees be-
low zero. She is not expected to live.
The neighbors made every effort to
rescue the imprisoned children without
avail The ages of the burned ones
ranged from one to seven years. The
daughter, who was saved, was eight
years old.
