Death Of Fr. w. I. O'Sulliyan.

The following resolution was adopted
by the city council last evening at the
regular meeting.
whereas, the city OF Montpelier, in the
death OF Rev. William j. O'Sullivan, has
lost one OF its ablest and staunchest men
and man who for nearly third of Il
century has been deeply interested in its
affairs, and whose influence in such mat
tiers has always only been for the best
good OF this community, therefore be it
Resolved, That as mark OF respect to
the memory OF our friend, this council

forenoon at 10 o'clock, and copy OF this
resolution be spread upon the records,
and copy sent to his brother and sis
tiers.
| Fred Dodge of the Worcester branch
road appeared to protest against the city
having the poor farm cesspool on his
land. He intimated that he was about
TO erect new building and would like
to have the city make arrangements to
discontinue the pool. On motion of al.
derman Kent it was voted to leave the
matter of disposal of sewage of the city
farm with the sewer committee, with
power to act.
City Attorney George i. Hunt pre-
scented contract which he had drawn UP
and which would allow Vernon w. jew

use OF spring near his house, Mr.. jew
EFT to pay the city Sl5. and the expense
incurred in cementing the spring and pip
ing. That proposition was made by Mr..
Jewett some weeks ago and was gladly
accepted by the council, inasmuch as the
spring now causes some trouble, being
located as it is in the highway.
The council voted, on motion of Alder
man Premier, that the city attorney be

| "Other things being equal, ii is the
| best practice, when breeding for egg pro-
| duction, to select fowls of good size, for
such birds are capable of digesting more
feed and have greater body weight, which
are characteristic of physical strength.
They also lay larger eggs, and have q
large abdominal cavity, which provides
more room for the vital organs"

a large frame will carry more flesh than
a small one. The large frame should be
well fieshed and as free as possible from

compact appearance. In breeding for
meat as for eggs, use only the pure
breeds. Light Brahmas are perhaps the
best breed where a large, heavy rooster

Three Practical Breeds.
For small roasters the general utility
breeds, Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island
Reds, and Wvandottes are excellent, and
it is to these breeds also that one always
looks for the choicest broilers. A pen,
then. of dozen black Minorcas or White
Leghorns, should be kept for full egg
production; the former lay very large
white eggs, the largest of any standard
kept, but unfortunately, the shells are
thin, so that great care is necessary
when packing for shipment if they are
to be sold for setting. However, any of
the Mediterraneans viii prove excellent

although the White Leghorns are prob

Pearson of Great Darlington, Mass, a
former summer resident of Brattle-
boro. Both DIR. Pearson and his wife
persisted in the wreck of the Lusitania.
Mr.. Pearson was one of the most prom
inent mining engineers in the world and
it was supposed left an estate of $685.
100000 to $50, 1000, 900. He willed $780,
600 to Tufts college, $4,000 to the
Lowell General hospital and $4,000 to
the Pittsfeld House of Mercy. Pro-
vision was made in his will for setting
aside 100000 as a trust fund for
his family before any other legacies
should be paid. DR.. Parsons fortune
was largely in immense holdings and
investments in Mexico, and these having
deprecated so greatly in consequence
of the disturbances in that country
the estate will not be sufficient to pro-
vide for the trust fund.

ARRIVAL OF GOOD TIMES.

The long-expected good times have
actually arrived, according to the Al
bany, n. Y, Times-U Union. Govern
ment bulletins, newspaper correspond

employment agencies, it says, Indicate
improved business conditions in every
section of the country and in almost
every line of industry. 1t is estimated
that 100000 working men found their

auently connected with shorter hours
for work. Better pay means better
home conditions and better times for
the merchant, and shorter hours for
work mean the conservation Of human
resources, the greatest assets of this
or any country.
The improvement is all along the
line and all along every line 1t is
based on conditions that stand for bet
ter times permanently. The war orders
help. but they are hardly big factor
in the new prosperity that is with us
Bumper crops help. Big buying by all
classes of merchants helps. Better
railroad conditions help. Fatter pay
envelopes help amazingly. A better
understanding of the requirements OF
foreign customers helps.
And all these things with some 9th.
ers have put the wheels Of industry
and commerce on the move and given
us the good reports from all parts OF
the land.
The Times-Union gives some cheering
details from the South. Birmingham
saws the pay roll has increased almost
80 per cent and industries are running
almost to full capacity. In the West
railroad supply firms are pushed t.
their limit, and the cities are filled witt
merchants buying to meet the de
mands that big crops will assure. Au

from all sections. The commerce O
New York, the manufacturers of Phil

all tell the story of activity and bet
ter pay. Let us all realize that "th

Commenting on the establishment by
President Wilson of an extensive bird
reservation in Arkansas the Benning-
ton Banner calls attention to the ben
efits that would come about from the
creation of such a reservation in Yer
mont. It says:
Along the mountains of the state
there are big tracts of land from
which the timber has mostly been cut
and which have since grown up to
saplings and underbrush thereby ere
ating ideal conditions for bird homes.
The thick timber provides excellent
cover and the berry bushes, the wild
cherry and other scrub growth food
from which the birds obtain their liv-
ing. There are dozens of places in
which such reserves could be establish
ed and in which the rapidly disappear
| ing wild life could be protected. Once
| the lines of such reserve had been es-
| tablished it would be possible to enact
| laws prohibiting the use of firearms
| within the limits at all seasons of the
wear and the birds could live and raise
| their young as nature intended they
| should. During the past 20 years colo
| MES of people from southern Europe
have established themselves in many
localities in this state and their com,
ing has resulted iH4 decrease in the
number of insectivorOus birds. Prohib
