Harry A. Black, Clerk of the House.

The subject of this sketch is dis
tinctly product of Orleans county,
the county of governors, public citizens
of probity and honor, good roads and
fine farms. He was born in the
township of Coventry, November %,
1879. was educated in all the essentials
in the public schools and famous old
Derby academy. and worked into the
legal profession as soon as possible
after his age would permit In legis-
lative work Harry has advanced care.
fully and with due regard to geometric
progression. He was second assistant
clerk of the house in 1906, first assist
ant clerk in 1908 and 1910 and clerk in
1912 and during the recent session of
1915. This will hold good till 1917,
and by that time Harry may take time
by the fetlock and carry out the usual
progressive program by representing
his town in the legislature Of that wear.
However, this would be a considerable
demoti0n N many respects, and if he
prefers to retain position Of more
power and cash he may pass I'D the
representative succession and thus
fling political ambition to the winds for
the present. He is young yet, and can
afford to await the tide of fortune.
UnQuestionabIy Harry Black is one of
the most efficient clerks VINO ever sat
in that official chaif Such clerk is
virtually the vital machinery of Iegis-
lation, combining endless particular
and responsible duties, prompting and
instructing the chair at all times,
making up the calendar for the next
day. keeping correct account Of endless
detail and supplying every ounce of
power which carries on the course of
legislation. Harry Black has every
detail out of thousands at all times
at his fingers ends, and with his
present most efficient aids, Julius
Wilcox of Ludlow, and Roswell Austin
of St Adams, forms combination
which few states in the Union car
approach.

The value of cattle at the present
time in Vermont is we'll shown by a
recent tour of Massachusetts, men with
w. A. Kicker, Vermont's cattle king,
through this section in search of grade
mich COWS. They found the kind of
COWS they desired but the farmers
asked from $50 to 500 for COWS they
only wanted to pay from $50 to $50 per
head. The farmers held them at their
own prices rather than sell them for
what was considered fancy price a
few years ago. When Vermont farm
ers keep their COWS rather than accept
prices lower than those quoted, it incl
Gates the confidence on their part that
the increase in supply is not great
enough to endangery prices. The hold
ing of these cows means an increase
in Vermont's cattle that will soon be
drawing thousands of dollars annually
to the pockets of Vermont farmers
St. Johnsbury CaIedonian.
Cow testing is largely responsible
for the increase in the prices Of really
good cows. The Monitor ventures the
statement that almost without excep-
ton men who refused $50 to $50 per
head for their cows were farmers
who know, not guess, what those cows
are paying.

But Wife Is Not Informed Of
Former Senator's Death.

NEW YORK. May 2s.-With the an
nouncement that the will of Nelson W.
Aldrich has been probated at Warwick.
r. l., 1t became known today that his
widow. Mrs. Abby B. Aldrich. is SO seri-
ously i'll at her home here that she has

100000 estimate made previously. The
