1t is hoped that everybody who can
will make an effort to attend the play,
"The Teaser," which will be given Fri
day evening at Valley Hall by young
people from Morrisville. THIS play has
been successfully staged by Miss Gwen

village and comes highly recommended
by other towns wbera it has been given.
Beside he play there will be several en-
tertaining specialties introduced The
play is to be given under the auspices of

Nothing Important

Only few hundred men killed and a
few hundred manned. A few more. wild
ows and a few more orphan children.
Some more houses smashed by shells;
churches ruined and homes left desolate
A few more hungry beggars and fugitive
refugees along the roadside. No royal
war lord got near enough to the firing
line to stop bullet with his kiugly head.
No princeling was torn to pieces with a
sharpnell shell. That would have been

Reckless Expenditure in Town
Administration

Too many of our towns are getting into
careless ways of financing. In spite OF
constantly growing tax rates and larger
grand lists, they fall behind year by year
adding some hundreds of thousands of
dollars to their debt. This debt bears
interest, of course, and is itself source
of further debt. Ultimately this debt,
be it large or small, must be paid. The
longer it runs, in fact, the worse for
every taxpayer. as the interest takes con-
stantly part of his contribution. Every
town ought to apply something each
year to sinking fund toward the retire
ment of the debt. Then progress would
be making In the right direction. Row
ing hard against the current and drop
ping constantly down stream is discour-
aging business, but it is the condition of a
great many towns nowadays.-Randolph

House Kills Tax Bill

The House has killed the tax bill by a
vote of 154 to 66. The proposed fat rate
on intangibles and Is per cent offset did
the business. 1t now looks as if there
would be no change 10 the present law.
Representative Miner of Hyde Park
moved to amend the section relating to
the taxation of intangible personal prop
erty and to deductions for debts owing
by inserting the words "except bank
stock.'
MIR. Davis of johnson moved to amend
section 2 by striking ont the words
equal to rs per cent?. and substituting
the words mot to exceed 81 ,000'; and in
section 4 to strike out the word ''one",
making 1000 the limit of offsets. The

The Idle Boy

The IA years old lad up in Lamoille
County, who attributes his downfall to
the reading of Wild West stories, has
probably miscalcuated again. The prob
abilities are, if the details were looked up,
that he was not given wholesome emu
ployment while he was at home; and
was not kept in school where every boy
of his age ought to be, and again it may
be true that when he first displayed ten.
denotes to take things not his own, he
was not given a sound dose of good
birch switching which is a fine tonic for
any healthy boy.
The Tuthill lad is bright boy and has
a generous amount Of courage and in
genuity and had he been kept properly
and his mind diverted and his
energies directed in the right way, he
would not now be dishonor to boy
hood and sorrow to his people Keep
the boy busy, with good healthtul, body
firing employment while out of school,
and see that he does his work IN school
and you will have little occasion to wor-
ry over his transgressions. Every boy
should have certain duties to perform at
home, and should be made to do them
An idle boy is always the boy who gets
INTO trouble. Look around and you will
ind it is true, that the lad who is not re-
luired to assume his little share of the
amily cares and work, he is the boy whD
5 most often in trouble.
