Indian Basket Importer Indicted

AS result of an investigation
started at this port about two years
ago, M. N. Abrams of Abrams & Co.
New London, Conn, was indicted bv
the Federal Grand Jury at urling-
ton last month for the undervalua-
ton of grass baskets on customs en-
tries. He appeared before the United
States District Court at Windsor and
was released on $4,000 bail.
The differentiation of this class of
merchandise has been practiced all
along the Canadian border and it is
e-timated that about a half million
dollars worth of these baskets have
been imported into the United
States under fraudulent entries, dur
ing the past three years.

What is Going m in and
About Old Vermont

New maple syrup is selling i'll st.
Johnsbury for 81 .35 a gallon and
several farmers in that locality have
tapped their sugar places aud are
having a good run of sap.
Enlists i'm Canadian Regiment
John H. Senter, Jr., a Montpelier
attorney who was admitted to the
Vermont state bar last fall and who
was a candidate for the Office of
grand juror at the March election,
has enlisted with Montreal infantry
regiment, according to the statement
of a Montpelier young man who
went to the Canadian city with Mr..
Sentef last week and who has re-
turned home.
Information of Mr.. Senter's en-
lis tment has not reached the city in
the form of letter, but seems to be
an assured fact and has caused
much surprise in this city among
his many acquaintance.
The regiment in which he has en-
listed expects to be numbered among
big contingent of troops to go to
the front in Europe and Mr.. Senter
may be in action in the near future.
He has had considerable military
training, having been member of
Company H, LIST Inf, V. N. G., for
several years.
Strange Coincidence in Fires
By a curious coincidence, two fires
have occurred in two farmhous es
near Lyndonville, both of which
started in a similar manner and
were quenched in the same way.
At j. Wiley Eastman's home on
Pudding hill the head of an ignited
match flew into the waste basket,
and from that set the bed on fire,
and reused Mr.. Eastman, who put
the fire out with a fire extinguisher
before it had done much damage.
At the home of Edison MatheWson,
Mr.. Mathewson threw away a match
on leaving his room early, and it is
supposed the head of the match ig-
nited something in1ammable, for in
a short time the room was full of
smoke and fire. Again the fire eX-
tinguisher came to the rescue and
the house was saved after a few
minutes of very lively work.
Young Woman a Suicide
Despondent on account of poor
health, Mrs. Fred A. Hubbard COM
mitted suicide at her home on a farm
three and one-half miles from Lyn-
donville. Mrs. Hubbard was in her
room on the second floor and the
only other occupants of the house
J were Mrs. Charles Hubbard, and an
aunt, Mrs. M. D. Park. She shot
herself near the region of the heart
with 38-caliber rifle. The women
on the first floor, hearing the report,
were alarmed and, after finding the
woman in her bedroom, they called
DR.. A. A. Cheney, but she died be-
fore he reached her.
Mrs. Hubbard was 26 years old
and the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherburne Lang, of this place. She
had been married five years. She
had suffered with stomach trouble
for about three years, and her
| husband claims that was her only
excuse for committing the rash act.
Beside her husband and parents, she
leaves three sisters and five brothers.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon and burial was at Lyndon
Center.

Of Kindness.

He was a brisk. well-groomed young
man, who looked as If he were hur-

He had crossed the green grass and
golden-roddy place by the big hotel
near Union station, and had jumped
the tiny ditch that is going to be a
gutter some day, when he noticed an
old Whitley gray horse standing by
what will be the curb.
The detected patience of the poor
creature must have appealed to the
young man, for he sprinted back to
the green grass, pulled a bunch Of it
and slipped it into Whitley gray's
mouth.

Aside From It's Use as 4 BEVERAGE
There Are q Number Of WAYS in
Which Delicious Bean May
Be Employed.

Coffee is q flavor always at the call
Of the cook, and one that can be re-
lied on when fruits fail. The medici-
nal qualities of coffee are due to it's
aromatic essential oil-and it is that,
Of course, which gives the flavor. As
the roasting brings out the flavor OF
the oil. the roasting should be care
fully done. When using coffee for
flavoring make it by percolating boil
ing water through the freshly ground
beans.
Coffee JclIy.-Soak an ounce OF
gelatin in a cupful of cold water and
dissolve in three cupfuls Of boiling
water. Add two cupfuls of sugar and
two Of strong coffee, and strain into
a mold. Harden and serve with
whipped cream garnished with mac
aroOnt.
Coffee Mousse.-Boil a cupful OF
coffee and two ta~blespoonfuls of sugar
together, and slowly pour it over two
egg yolks. stirring all the time. Strain
when cold and add two cupfuls Of
whipped cream Pour into a mold and
pack in ice and salt for three or four
hours. Serve in tall glasses.
Coffee icing.-Melt two cupfuls Of
sugar and boil until it forms a string
from the spoon. Stand the saucepan
in a dish of cold water until the
sugar begins to form on the sides,
ard then work in a cupful Of strong
coffee, pressing it against the sides
OF the saucepan with q spoon. When
the mass granulates it is ready to use
as icing.
Coffee Cake.-Cream half q cupfuI

Of a pound each Of raisins and cur
rants. This will make two loaves. 1t

The oft%-threatenea return Of the
crinoline, prophe5ied by alarnists Of
fashion, leaves Us all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by a Spanish
princess, who used it 10 conceal her
love letters from 4 forbidden admirer,
According to pictures Of Queen Eliza
beth, she was the first to wear it in
England, a writer in the st. Louis
Post Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need Of pockets to hide such. provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits We find that her
dress resambled that OF Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts Of these were

No Smoke Of Battle Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict hat distinguish it
from the wars Of the past is the alb.
sence Of smoke IN the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder.
no smoke is made when a rife is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible a hundred yards
away and disappears within a few Sec
onds after a gun is fired. Only
when %shrapnel or a shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis.
IDLE in the way Of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
Of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, "the smoke OF battle" so
faithfully descriptive OF the wars OF
the past, has little meaning when ap.
piled to a modern war.-Popular Me-

Progress Made by Farmers In Greater

Attention to Details Es-

The progress made by the farmers
aising poultry in the greater part OF
the United States in the past few
years is not only remarkable, but is
very encouraging to those who are
trying to establish this very impor.
tant branch of farming on a broad.
er and more profitable basis than it
has heretofore occupied. But still there
is plenty Of room for further prog
ress and advancement. Some of the
occupants OF farms who raise poultry
being rather slow in learning the diff
ference between haphazard methods
and inferior stock, and careful, meth
odical work with purebred fowls, you
can easily see from the returns of
their efforts that the state experiment
stations are doing much to overcome
this sort of poultry work and to show
these farmers who have neglected
poultry altogether as not paying that
there is indeed no branch OF farming
that pays better, when equal attention
Is given to modern methods and the
little details which r now consid-
cred as absolutely essential to success
with poultry.
Until very recently the poultry on
most farms has been a mixture of all
sorts and breeds all running togeth-
CT, and you might travel for miles

variety. But that time has passed

Nothing to Be Gained by Encouraging
Blister Beetles-Destrey All Grass
hopper Eggs in the Fall.

Among the natural enemies of the
grasshoppers are the blister beetles
or old-fashioned potato bugs, the
larvae Of which subsist almost wholly
OH grasshopper eggs. The blister
beetles become very abundant in
grasshopper years when food is plen-
tiful. However, little or nothing is
gained by substituting a plague OF
blister beetles for a plague Of grass
hoppers and the wiser course is to
destroy as many grasshopper eggs as
possible in the fall. thereby cutting
of the development of both sorts of
pests.

TREAT BARB WIRE INJURIES
Do Not Apply Axle Grease Or Any
Rancid Ointment to Wound-Re.
move All Foreign Substances.

by DIR. A. S. ALEXANDER. Wisconsin
Agricultural College.)
This is the season Of the year when
stockmen are most frequently an
noyed with barb-wire injuries to their
horses. Just a few things to bear
in mind at such times suggested:
After a barb-wire accident, do not
apply axle grease or any rancid oint-
ment to the wound. Wash the wound
thoroughly with warm water. Then
clip the hair as close as possible
around it, and wash again to remove
any hair or other foreign substance.
When sand or hair has lodged in
the depths of a deep cut never use a
wet sponge to clean it out. Use a
piece of absorbent cotton or cotton
batting. There will be much less risk
OF infection.
1t will be useless to put stitches in
a wound that is very deep or ragged,
or that is located in a place not in
perfect rest when the animal is max
ing natural movements.
Dry busting powder has a healing
effect on barb-wire wounds and other
large, moist cuts and abrasions. Such
a powder may be prepared cheaply by
mixing together equal parts of slaked
lime, sulphur and charcoal.
Prevent lockjaw dangers in nail
wounds Of the hoof by opening them
up freely, which provides drainage for
serum and pus. Saturate with a solu-
ton Of corrosive sublimate and water
in the proportion of / to 500. Cover
with busting powder, absorbent cotton
and a %bandage. This treatment should
be repeated daily until the wound is
healed.
