William Brandt, Morris popular
tonsorial artist, is no longer believ-
er in signs. His faith in them was
shattered last Monday night and he
change of heart cost him eight dollars.
BILLY as he is endearingly called by
his friends, placed a 11x15 sign over
his cash register Monday morning.
The sign bears the legend; "No
checks cashed.' and it especially
specifies this accommodation will not
be extended to strangers. Monday
afternoon smooth-faced chap strolled
in with a check and Billy obligingly
forgot about the sign as he tilted the
register. Eight iron "bucks" were
counted out and Tuesday the check
came back from the bank marked N.
G. Brandt's faith in humanity, espe-
cially unsophisticated youth, is ruth
lessly shattered but has been placed
on probation while the sign still
swings over the cash register. But
"Billy' is not alone. At least hall
a dozen others are in the same boat.

Some illuminating statistics for farm
ers are contained in the annual report of
the Danville Cow Testing association.
The average cow in the 29herds showed a
profit for the year of $31. Is, the lowest
producer a loss of 80 cents and the high
est producer a profit of $81. So The cow
which made the high record of profit
could have been bought for $50 before
the association started, and probably the
one which was boarder at 80 cents loss
would have brought about the same sum

Some interesting figures are pub
lished in the latest livestock report of
the United States agricultural depai t
ment which gives comparative table
of the amount of livestock owned for
the last five years and their value each
year. In Vermont there has been "a
steady increase in the number of horses
until the past two years when the num-
Der has remained at $4,000. In the
meantime the value has increased each
year from $l06 in 1910 to a present
average value of $l3l per head. While
the number of mich cows i'm this period
has only increased from 265 900 to
268. 600, which was the same number
four yeal ago, the value has increased
from $34. 20 to $52. As compared with
the average value throughout the United
States the horse is appraised at SOB. 80
while mlch cows ale valued at 500. 49,
The number of Vermont sheep has de
creased in five years from ll9, 200 to
l05, 600, though the value has in
creased from S4 to $40 in the
meantime. In this period the number
of swine and their value have both in

BELGIAN REFUGEES IN LONDON.

Prof. d. l.. Robinson of Middlebury

teresting letter from F. G. Wits of
London, England:
Harringay, N. Lon Ion,
Jan. a, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Robinson:
received your card this morning and
was very pleased to hear from you
again. | have often thought of you
when the question has arisen of the
position of America with regard to the
war and what is the general opinion of
Americans. You will be more specially
interested in how the war has affected
me. applied to join an officers Train
ing corps, but they refused me as too
old. My brother of about rs has joined
the o. T. C. of the Univ. of London and
my two other brothers have joined the
Terrtorials. The rally to the army by
the young men of ondon has been
splendid and there is no doubt that
these fellows, most of them well edu-
dated and from the middle classes, will
make admirable and intelligent soldiers.
The new army is going across at the
present time and | am sanguine that
they will soon make their presence felt
| have been very closely concerned with
the Belgian refugees in London. At first
the novelty of their surroundings and
the open hospitality and welcome they
received eased the feeling of lonliness
and loss which they now begin to feel
very strongly. They must not enter
into competition with English workmen,
they know little or nothing of the Ian
guage, they have nothing to do so you
can imagine how bored they become and
worse still, there is no immediate hope
or prospect Of return to their land. They
have been only too glad to attend elias
ses in English that have been arranged
for them. Mrs Wits supervised the
receipt and arrangement of furniture
from members OF our school to furnish
a house sj- cially lent and free of taxes
and now we have three families housed
there, - people in all. Many other
houses have been provided IN "A similar
way. During the Christmas holidays
We have received two ladies' who know
NJ Eng ish 1t has been very good 70
M French, but you have no idea how
fatiguing it is to entertain day and
night people who have nothing particu-
lar to do. They say that war consoli
dates nation and dissoves feuds and
unites irricoucilables, and th, is un-
doubtedly the case with us 1t affects
all ranks of society and is an admirable
object lesson to all that each class is in
dispensable and has its special work to
do In school, too, there is new spirit,
and a quckened interest in such sub
jects as French history and geography.
| With so many Belgians about, the
Lupils have a chance of putting their
knowledge into practice and this acts as
a great incentive, which in geography,
especially on the commercial side, there
are hundreds of ways to show how the
world is eniXtricably interlaced with
connections and the suffe ing of one
part affects all. We shall be very in
terested to have your views Mrs. Wits
sends her kindest regards to you and all
at home.
Best wishes for a happy and pros
porous New Year
Yours very sincerely,
