In the death of three citizens in the
past two weeks, Barton has lost prom
inent personages. A. R. Cowles was
a man widely known and loved in this
section of Vermont as singing school
teacher of former days and dealer in
musical goods of late years. In the
death of Mrs. H. T. Seaver a woman
has gone from our midst who was in
terested in all good things. her ability
and ardor making her leader not only
in local things but in state organiza-
tons promoting the interests OF
women and the betterment of the COM
mon veal. In E. A. Titus we lose a
man of remarkable mind, leader in
his early calling as minister of the
gospel and a power in some of the
newer beliefs so common in recent
years but not considered orthodox.
So, one after another, unexpectedly
and suddenly, we are numbered and
counted out, and whose turn come
next man does not know.

Canadian business mems club that the
recent officiousness of Canadian Gus

indicates that he was not trying to

William Rensch, popular and pro-
gressive plumber and steamfitter here,
figured that if the { eat were increased
p times an egg could be hatched in
one day, thus saving much worry ana
anxiety. according to Caldwell (N. j.
correspondent, New York World.
From the steam heating boiler in the
cellar of his home Goe stretc ed steam
pipes to an incubator in which he
place 13 eggs yesterday. He kept an
extra weight on the safety valve for
"A hours and this afternoon when he
opened { e incubator lie was gratified
to find a chick picking through his
shell.
Rensch ran upstairs and prepared a
mash of infant chicken food. On mis-
way back to the cellar he fseard a loud
and Iusty growing and soon found tat
the chick had grown into full and Wig
crous roosterhood.
The plumber went back upstairs TO
obtain more vigorous iood for such a
bird and when he returned TO the eel
lar '.e found that the rooster ad died
of senility. The chick in the other
eggs mad died Of old age before they
had a chance to break their sells.

A feature Of the crop was greatly in
creased production in California and
Arizona, two States where tee cotton
growing industry is in its infancy, and
where a superior quality Of the staple
is raised
California's production amounted to
49 $50 bales, or 24,917,50O pounds
while Arizona's was 7,142 bales, OF
3,571,000 pounds
Unofficial estimates place the value
of the crop, which this season las been
greatly reduced by tie effect of the
European war, at S57O,OOO,OOO for lint.
That is based on an average price Of
10 cents a pound to producers and an
estimate CT 20 per cent. as the quantity
already sold, with the remainder SELL
ing at an average Of rs cents a pound.
On the same basis the Talue of tee
seed is estimated at $134,OOO,OO0 These
make the estimated value OF the 1914

OVERTHROW OF KAISER
is URGED BY HALDANE

London, Dec. 1.--viscount Hal
dane, former Lord High Chancellor,
discussing the possibilities Of peace
during a meeting in Kings Hall, de-
clared that peace was more to be de-
sired than any other thing at the
present moment.
Nevertheless the speaker predict
ed that no peace negotiations would
be considered by Great Britain or her
allies until Emperor William and
the German war party had been
thrown out o. the saddle by the Ger
man democracy.
1.-The allies OF a century ago." said
viscount Haldane, "were quite ready
to make peace with France. but not
with Napoleon. So also to-day, I'M
til we can deal with the real Ger
man people, whom. we know as sane
contributors of many good things to
the worlds civilization, but who
have temporarily yielded their place
to false leaders. We do not care to
talk peace"
