Two Hundred and F7ifty stories

And every story a good one. They
are entertaining, but that is not all
you can say about them. You know
there is hardly a periodical published
that is not full of time-wasting stories,
but not a single story in The Youths
Companion is a time waster. Take
the stories of G. A. stephens 1t
would be hard to pick out one from
which you cannot learn something
useful and yet entertaining.
Some of The Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chem
istry, some reveal the secrets of for
estry and of general farming. They
cover wide range. They are chosen
with an eye to the possible likings of
every member of Companion family
stories OF vigorous action and stir
ring adventure for boys, stories of
college life and domestic vicissitudes
for girls, stories that range all the
way from sheer drollery to deep SER
iousness for men and women. There
are no stories quite like those in The
Companion.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is today, let us send
you sample copies and the Forecast
for 1916.
New subscribers who send $500 for

Sabbath Preservation

bury in the interests of that worthy
organization. Mr.. Tuck spoke at the

the Sabbath holy.

the local paper ought to line up
with what in the editors honest
judgment is for the greatest good
for the greatest number, regardless
of whether the greatest number"
belong to his party or go to his
church. But there is generally so
little difference in merit between
candidates for office, that a local
paper that praises one fellow citizen
and condemns another acts very
foolishly. The paper has patrons
and friends in both camps and each
is entitled to honorable considera-
ton and a square deal. The paper
that treats all alike is called ION

to have it side with them and

Court ON Wheels.
The Herald has been much inter
ested in the learned objections urged
against the legislative plan of put
ting the Municipal courts of the
state on wheels, for the obvious pur-
pose of providing cheaper justice for
the poor man by means Of common
law jury trial held in his own
town.
Judge Erwin M Harvey Of the
Montpelier municipal court, has very
courteously furnished some interest
ing figures, showing the cost of trans
porting his court to Waterbury to
try case of alleged violation Of the
fish and game law.
Under the "court-on-wheels" ar
rangement, the cost to the state for
expenses of judge and states attor-
ney, one days pay and expenses OF
court reporter, officer on arrest, sub
poena and venire, jury and witness
fees, was 1854. Under the old law,
with trial before a justice of the
peace and with jury OF six men, the
least possible cost would have been
$19.14. For a trial before a justice,
for the purpose of appealing to
county court, it would cost $14.58.

True Function of a Country Paper

True Function of a Country Paper
There are a few people in every
community that think a newspaper
is made to pull their chestnuts out
of the fire and that it is the duty of
a local paper to be the town scold.
Nothing could be further from the
true functions of a country news
paper which should be a straight
business enterprise to sell subscrip-
lions and advertising space at a fair
margin of profit and to supply the
town and vicinity news and as much
general matter as the income
of the paper win allow. With It
should go such comment as the edi-
tor is capable of making on state,

IN SHOTKUS SHOOTING
Geo. Fay, youthful cabaret singer
who was yesterday identified by A.
B. Shotkus as one of the two who
held him up and shot him in the arm
in his coal Office, was released today
by Judge Fisher. Fay presented an
alibi so strong that the judge said
he could not possibly have been i'm
plicated.
Shotkus was today not sure of his
Identification of either Fay or Billy
Carmody, who fired the shot, he
says, but Carmody is being held.
Fay is the youth whom Judge
Fisher discharged last week with a
severe reprimand to the police for
making such an unwarranted arrest.
Twice before he has been arrested
when the police could procure no evil
dence against him. 81 do not CEN
sure the police for arrested him yes

it is proven Fay could not have fig
ured in. this robbery, yet circum-
stances were such as to warrant the
police taking him into custody"
The police now are searching for
Georges brother, John, whom they
believe committed the robberies and
purposely arranged circumstances so
that blame would fall on the brother.
Fay's family is in pitiful condi-
ton. While his mother was on the
way to the Jail to see him after his
arrest yesterday she got word that
her husband was dying in hospital
