Cars Collide on Sum m il.

At narrow point in the road between
Montpelier and Middlesex, at Silver
ledge, two automobiles colided at the
summit of the hill Monday night, one
car being owned by H. N. Gray of Cam
bridge and the other by Gerald Taylor
of Montpelier, The Gray cars mud
guard were somewhat smashed and one
axle of the Taylor car was broken and
the brakes damaged, so that the car
had to be towed into Montpelier. The
point where the cars colided is a dan

Fractures Skull in Auto Upset.

William Currier, an actor in the En-
pire Stock company of Salem, and liv-
ing at 231 Washington street, Salem, is
probably dying at the Salem hospital
with fractured skull as the result of
an automobile accident Monday. Cur
rier was riding in the machine, owned
by Miss Ethel Clifton. leading lady with
the stock company, with Walter Dow,
who was testing the machine. They
were between Salem and Lynn when
the tires on the right side of the auto
burst, sending the machine into ditch
and throwing the men out. Currer fell
on his head. He was picked up by an
other automobile and rushed to the hos
pital. Boston Journal.

THE LATEST RECKLESS CAPTAIN.

Another fog collision-almost third
Titanic catastrophe. When will these
murderous captains be corralled and
driven off the seas? 1t is monstrous
that any captain knowing the dangers
of fog and the terrible catastrophes
that are happening should sail in fog.
Instead of going to admiralty or court
to settle damages from fog collisions,
the captain should be promptly tried for
his life. If one captain should be tried
and executed for killing his passengers
the fog collisions would promptly stop.
1he murderous German captain, the
other day, who rammed the New York,
would have killed hundreds of people if
it were not for the caution and the
quick action of the captain of the New
York. But for the quick move of his
ship he would have been cut in two, in
stead of getting glancing blow; even
then the German made a hole in the
New York as big as a house.
Is it possible that the governments of
the world will continue to let these care
less captains sink ships and kill passen-
gers, just as they will? The owners of
ships could stop these death ships and
their captains if they wish. But no,
the race for speed is worth more than
thousands of lives. The smashing and
killing is only to make records. They
know the danger. Let them, the own
ers, be hailed to a criminal count for
negligence in the operation of their
enormous, ready made, mausoleums.
AS in the case of the Empress of Ire
land the New York took proper pre-
caution to avoid danger. yet those reck-
less captains. one Dane and the other
German, drove ahead at great speed
regardless of fog and the warnings of
both captains who were rammed.
A few simple rules would stop all this
killing at once and for all time. When
fog drops down every signal should be
sounded; and then bring ship to COM
plete stop, and then tell by signal of
that fact for all within the sound to
hear. To do this no accident could
happen.
If any ship desired to maintain his
speed he could make record for the
time that he was stopped, and add it to
the moving record. If these killings
continue, travellers will stay at home.

FRIDAY, JUNE Io, 1914.
GOVERNOR FLETCHER A PRO-
GRESSIVE REPUBLICAN.

Governor Allen M. Fletcher, who
was in Manchester, N. H., at the large
Flag day celebration on Monday, de-
livered himself, according to newspaper
reports, of the following very interest
ing interview:
The trouble in Vermont, as it is in
many other States, is the presence of a
small reactionary group, who are
thoroughly and blindly conservative,
and who oppose in an unthinking and
reckless fashion every proposal which
contemplates progress in legislation.
The majority of the people of Vermont
are, am convinced, thoroughly pro-
gressiye. Unless this progressive SEN
timent is given expression in laws, seri-
Gus conditions will be created. Person
ally, l think l may properly be de-
scribed as a liberal Republican.
want to see, and hope to see, the
progressive elements in the country
coalesce into one formidable and pre-
dominant organization.
small State as Vermont has opened
my eyes to many things which l did
not believe could possibly exist. When
the trouble occurred at Chicago in 1912,
did not understand some of positions
assumed by Colonel Roosevelt, because
/ had not had at that time the expert
enca | since have undergone. Today
his position is much more clear to me,
and in many of the views which he has
assumed | am thoroughly in accord
And | do not exclude his strong views
as to the need of court reform in max
ing that statement.
THE sole hope of the Republican
party is in becoming definitely and
frankly progressive and liberal. Unless
it does become progressive it will die,
and will have deserved to die,
since its usefulness will have been
ended"
1t is presumed that the governor is
quite accurately quoted, as most of the
remarks attributed to him have been
expressed in one way or another at
home, and his position has been good
deal along the lines laid down. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Fletcher is absolutely
right when he says that the "sole hope
of the Republican party is in becoming
frankly progressive and liberal" The

FARM SPECIALIZING.

when will the Vermont farmer learn
to specialize on his product" asks the
Bristol Herald in commenting editor
tally on current prices of maple sugar
and syrup. The question is of antedi-
luvian age, yet pertinent to the day and
season. Today the Vermont farmer is
getting not mill above 40 cents of the
dollar that the down country consumer
pays for his maple products, and the
one man to blame for this unfair divi-
sion OF financial receipts is the Vermont
farmer himself. Only short distance
or to speak in another way-only a
days freight car run from Vermont's
further point are ten millions of people
who, II they eat maple sugar or syrup
at all, must buy it, The Bristol farmer.
according to The Herald, is TODAY get
ting eight cents pound for his sugar.
The Boston and New York city consum-
ers are paying % cents pound for the
same. The cost of transportation from
Bristol, an Addison county town near
the Chittenden county line, would not
be, at the highest, half cent pound
on any considerable shipment, and yet
more than $50 per cent. is the difference
between the Vermont producer and the
Manhattan consumer. Nor is this all.
for IN Massachusetts at least the adul-
iteration of maple products TO the ex-
tent of so per cent. is legal without any
notification thereof. OF course this is
permissible only in intrastate and not
interstate traffic So-called maple
syrup that does not contain as high
as five per cent. of the genuine article
is sold and served everywhere, in Yer
mont, as well as elsewhere, and this
practice is detrimental to the financial
and economic welfare of the Vermont
farmer.
But this matter of maple sugar pro-
ducts is no worse in the matter of its
selling than tits with all other products
of the Vermont farm that find mark ct
outside the State. There is promise to-
day of huge crop of apples the coming
fall, and in this section of the State the
farmer will get around SIPS barrel

Q. What is benny cock? A. A male
bird feathered like hen.
Q. have been advised to secure fer
rets to rid my premises Of rats. Do
they catch chickens. A. Yes. They
belong TO the weasel family-the chick

Q. My brOoder ducklings last season
had weak bills and rheumatism. Their
bills would bend. What was the
trouble? A. You kept your brooder
too hot and didn't let them out in the
air and on the ground soon enough.
Don't mollycodde ducklings.
Q. l have been using the brooder,
and my chicks seem listless in the
morning They are fine when they
come from the incubator. and then the
trouble begins. Why rs this? A. Your
brooder has unnatural bottom heat.
The lamp throws SCOT and smoke
fumes up into the hover. and the
chicks breathe the deadly air.
Q. Please state difference between
cholera and roup microbes. A. Chol-
era germ flOurishes in hot season. roup
in cold. Cholera germ attacks diges-
tive system. roup the respiratory or
gans. Little similarity between the two
except that bughouse methods promote
| both.
O. Why is corn not "A good summer
grain? Why do so many egg fanciers
criticise corn? A. Corn is too heating
for summer and should be only fed
then in a mixed ration. Egg producers
do not feed corn heavy because it is
too fattening, and much fat means few
eggs.

LIFE IN THE LONG AGO.

sOr Centuries the common people or
England made their home in wooden
huts of one room, When II family in.
creased in numbers or wealth another
hut was built beside 1t, or. rather. a
lean-to was added and then another
and another, as need required.
Sometimes they followed a straight
line. At other times they were built
out from the central hut at various an
giles. The roofs of these huts were
matched. An opening was left in the
center for the smoke to escape. The
fire was always built in a hollow In the
center of the room. Beds were made
of straw Often they were merely
shakedowns in the corner. Occasion
ally the straw was held in little
frame resembling the ribs of ship.
Houses built by Saxon knights were
much more pretentious. They were big
halls. like the Roman atrium. with n
lofty roof matched with slate or wood
shingles. The floor was of hard clay.
In the middle was great fire of dry
wood The thin. acrid smoke from the
fire escaped through an opening in the
roof directly above the hearth.
Round the fire were long benches. on
which hearthsmen and visitors sat
when not fighting or at work, and talk
ed and drank the hours through. The
tables were long boards on trestles. At
night the floor was strewn with straw
and, like the less prosperous folk, host
and visitors slept together. - Youths

NO HOPE FOR TAX DODGERS.

Washington, June. 16-Treasury
agents are making ready to take the
trail of income tax dodgers.
"a man is a fool who attempts to
avoid the income tax, said Commission
err Osborne yesterday. "He is sure to be
detected sooner or later. There is no
chance that tax dodgers can escape"
The time for payment of this tax
does not expire until July /, but it is
known that the treasury department al
ready has the information necessary for
the prosecution of many persons who
made false returns.
1t may take the treasury department
months, or even years, to catch up with
some of the tax dodgers, but the officials
say the chase will be relentless. The
records of all banks and business con-
Germs are open to the department and
its agents have many secret sources of
information.
The penalty for making a fraudulent
return is imprisonment for not more
than one year or fine not exceeding
81, 900, or both, with the costs of pros
ecution. Persons subject to the tax
who make no re- ort may be fined from
500 to so, 900. The penalty for failure
to pay the assessments upon returns be.
fore July /, will be five per cent, plus an
additional five per cent, for every month
of DELAY.

READY TO LEND 5000, 900 TO MOVE
CROPS.

Washington, June l6. Secretary Nc
Adoo again stands ready to lend a hand
to western and southern banks in case
they need money for crop moving pur-
poses. The plan of lending government
money to the banks in agricultural dis
tricts for use during the crop moving
season last fall was so successful that
it will be adopted this year if the neces-
sity arises. Money loaned by the treas
ury department last year was secured
mostly by commercial paper, and all the
borrowed money had been returned to
the treasury by April l, together with
interest amounting to $3.50, 800. The
total amount loaned to banks was $37, :
$4,000. 1t went to 1913 banks in sixty
two cities of twenty-eight states. Sec
McAdoo announced he would lend $50
600, 600, but that much was not sought.
In fact, the secretary stood ready to
loan as much as $50, 900, 600. had the
banks in the farming sections demanded
that much money.
