Advertising Pays.

Go into a town that lags, where
the business men continually say
"Trade is dull 1t does not pay to
advertise" and rest assured the
town will lag, business will be dull,
and the little advertising they do
will not pay. Outsiders soon catch
onto this Trade is dull, " "Advertis.
ing does not pay" kind of spirit, and
shift their trade to towns that do
advertise and where trade is not
dull. Neither are they to blame for
doingit. Any town, we do not care
how small, can be alive if the bust
ness men try to make it so. And
the newspaper is the organ through
which the building up or keeping
the-town-alive process should be car
ried out. No man can truthfully

Plead Not Guilty.

Dewey Newcomb, II years old, of
Guilford, pleaded not guilty in munic.
pal court at Brattleboro Thursday to
charge of killing two wild deer. He
was released on bail of $125 furnished
by his father, Hollis Newcomb. 1t is
charged by the state that the young
man early on the morning of November
Is shot and badly wounded a spike horn
buck and then killed large doe. A
short time later, the state claims, he
killed smaller doe, which was report
ed as killed by his father. The boy
admits wounding the buck and later
telling John E. Gale, referee in bank
ruptcy, where the animal was so that
the official could score the kill. He al
so admits killing the larger doe but de-
MES tTat the smaller one fell before his
gun.

A New Invention.

Through an invention of j. Romeo
Stone of Burlington of a motorman's
seat new industry has come to Bur-
lington, where the seats will be manu-
featured, and company has already
been formed to take over the project.
The seats have an advantage over the
ordinary motorman's seat in that they
have both revolving and stationary
top. They can also be adjusted at al
most any angle by means of mechan-
ism. Another advantage is that when
attached to the floor the seats between
the controller and air brakes and when
not in use can be swung entirely out of
the way. The seats have been in use
on all of the cars of the Bur-
lington Traction company for several
weeks.

potatoes, twenty-six, of medium
size, clearly washed and free from
blemish, would constitute a pyramid.
They were told to balance their
expense books and bring them.
1t was a pleasing sight at the
Grange Fair to see the pupils exhib-
its, arranged on the long tables. AT
the rear of each exhibit was the
pupils membership card. Below
was arranged the pyramid of well.
selected potatoes, and near at hand
was the expense book, neatly kept
and accurately balanced. His story
carefully written, hand decorated
and tastefully tied with ribbons lay
nearby. Then the sweet corn and
vegetables were next in order anC
near at hand were the bouquets of
many hued flowers which had beer
grown by the girls.
Points were allowed each exhibit
tor. There were, 40 per cent on the
greatest yield per acre; 80 per cent
for the least cost per buShel; Is pei
cent for the best exhibit and Is per
cent for the best story. The boy
or girl winning the most points
received a prize of money from the
Grange and later at the County EX-
hibit will receive the prize given by
this movement which is usually
some farming implement, such as &
sprayer, or cultivator.
But the prize is not the main OBJ
iect of this enterprise. The idea i:
fourfold and is invested in the magic
sign of the 4 H, which interpreted
means the Head, the Hand, the
Heart, and consequently the Health
1t also encourages the boys to work
and plan for themselves, to carr
their own money and secure bet
ter grade of products for the mar
ket.
AS the pupils gathered around thu
tables at the fair, one could not fai
to observe the pride that shone il
the young faces as they repeatedly
looked at their exhibits. Then tn,
spirit of friendliness and hearty
comradeship between the instruct
or and his youthful farmers wa
beautiful to see.

State Printing in State Prison.

The initial article in the last num-
Der of the Prison Monitor, pub
lished by and in the interest of the
inmates of the Vermont State Pris-
on" is an open confession of ambi-
ton on the part of its publishers to
so build up the prison prin ting es-
tablishment as to warrant the state
authorities in having the printing for
all departments done inside the walls
of the Windsor establishment. The
Monitor calls attention to the fact
that this is done in Indiana, for in
stance, at great saving to the
state and queries, why not?" as to
to Vermont. The building up"
referred to by the ambitious Mont
tor would require great outlay on
the part of the state for the acquisi.
ton of such complete equipment
as would make possible satisfact-
DRY and profitable production of all
the work demanded from the print
er's hands by the state. = Ludlow
Tribune.
Of course give all the printing to
the Windsor prison. Why not turn
over all the state business to the
prison, as long as the prisoners are
wards of the state, and let them
handle it. Think what a saving it
would be to the state. In fact why
not turn all prisons into rest easy"
institutions, with good feather beds
and well laden tables, plenty of
flowers, nightly entertainments, ETC.,
so all will want to reside there to
avoid the cares and turmoils of the
world. Some prisons have almost
reached this sublime height al
ready. Prison reform is all right,
but in some instances it is being
over done. Something peculiar
about these reforms. All are car
ried to such an extent that the re-
formers need to be reformed. With
prison reform these other questions
bob up so we speak thus early. Give
the prison the state printing and
follow it with all the business of the
state. Also give them the key to
the treasury, they would like that
provided the treasury is not de-
pleted.

MiddIet0Wn Has Hen Nuisance

A small flock of chickens owned by O.
F. Thomas of Middletown Springs, came
near disrupting the village. Chester
Chase, neighbor of Mr.. Thomas,
pleaded guilty to setting poison beside
his doorstep, five members of the Thorn
as roost partaking of the poison. Mr..
Chase was fined $40. Mr.. Thomas,
charged with allowing his hens to run
at large, was found not guilty. 1t is
said that Middletown Springs hens have
the liberty of the village under the un-
written law.
AS near as could be learned the town
was about equally divided on the ques-
ton and the entire male population
turned out to the airing of the case at
the hotel. Mr.. Chase testified that he
had been driving home the Thomas
chickens once or twice a day for the
past 18 years.

Agriculture in the Schools.
NORMAN C. TICE.

On again teaching in New Hamp-
shire, | was impressed at once by
the introduction of agriculture in
the scho OILS. In this county (Hills-
boro), there are nearly four hun
dred pupils enrolled in the extern
sion work that is carried on by the
state college.
During the first weeks of the
spring term, competent instruct
or in the agricultural line of work
visited the schools, explained the
movement, and enrolled as many of
the pupils as was willing to do the
work. He gave them seed catalogs
and showed them how to send in
the orders. He instructed them when
and where to plant the seed. He
gave them account books in which
they were to keep their expenses
and the amount of their sales. He
told them how to care for their
crops; how to spray when necessary,
and how to market their products.
The girls chose flowers and vege-
tables. A few of the boys selected
sweet corn. but large percentage
of them chose the potato as their
staple product. Later the instructor
came and measured their plot of
ground. A plan of it was drawn
in their expense books and the
youthful agriculturists were ready
for work.
During the first month of the
fall term of school, the instructor
called again at the schoolroom and
announced that the pupils would be
expected to bring exhibits OF their
products to the Grange Fair which
was to be held the following week.
Each pupil was asked to write a
composition on, How produced
my CROP" to accompany his exhibit.
The instructor told them how to
prepare their exhibit. If it were

Shot BuCkskin Horse by Mistake

While Jacob Bidgood and his son,
Benjamin Bidgood, of Clarendon, were
driving in Shrewsbury Saturday their
horse was mistaken for deer and shot
dead. The animal, which was chuck
skin mustang, was drawing the car
riage over pubic highway near the
Trip farm when the occupants of the
carriage heard gun shot and the horse
fell dead without warning, the bullet
striking it in the head. John Brown. a
farmland employed by Thomas Pierce,
of Clarendon, was hunting some dis
lance from the highway. Through
some bushes he saw the fawn colored
horse moving along and, without wait
ing to investigate, fired. His aim was
remarkable as he was several hundred
yards away.
