Needles and Pins

A neighbor of mine was telling Il story, or something that had happen ed to himself and his wife. Ills wife was present. Three times she broke in upon him with, "Oh, no, my dear, that wasn't what he said!" and sim- liar corrective Interruptions
 They haven't been married very long and he bore the interruptions patiently, though I could see he was chafing under them. The third time, however, he said with a gentleness that evidently held in leash consider able impatience, Are you telling this story, my dear or am r"
 We are, my dear" she laughed.
 Then I'll yield my share to you" he said.
 Can't I Interrupt My
 Own Husband.
 What can't I interrupt my own husband once in a while?" she ques- toned, pouting prettily. @
 And because they haven't been married very long, he answered, II suppose I'll have to let you If you want to-
 But I'm afraid there'll come a day when he won't suppose that.
 No, not afraid, for I don't sec why there shouldn't.
 I think this habit that so many wives and husbands both contract of interrupting and contradicting each other is very unfortunate, to put it mildly.
 Can't interrupt my own husband or wife, as the case may be, is their thought, or at least their subconscious feeling.
 And why should you, sir or ma- dame, any more than you would !n- terrupt anyone else.

Overindustrialism Makes Ballot
 For Women Urgent in America Serbian Princess Former Californian Girl Declares Class Distinctions in Balkan State Are Unknown Her Compatriots Never Think of Suffrage Question.

'It is over-industrialism that makes the vote necessary for women!
 And because America suffers from over-industrialism American women need the ballot.''
 This is the opinion of Princess Laza- rovich-H h-Hrebelianovich, once Eleanor Calhoun, of California, now the wife of Serbian prince of here, there and everywhere, and author of Pleasures and Palaces"
 No IndustriaIism In Serbia.
 In contradistinction, she says, there is Serbia, where not even a shadow of industrialism has ever entered, and whose women have never given a thought to the suffrage and feminist questions.
 First of all,'' she says, there is no hostility between the sexes, but there is a community of interests. Class distinctions are unknown-we have but one kind of women, home makers, and the home life is com- plete and ideal. Yet in spite of that or perhaps I should say because of that, they have interest in all mu- nicipal affairs. You find them in the state service in every capacity-as civil engineers, doctors, etc.
 Not Hire Out As Servant
 But here is one thing the Servian woman will not do--she will not hire out as servant Or as sales clerk in a store. She will do the meanest sort of work for herself if necessary, or for her friends without pay but she'll never be a servant.
 Here in America, while I know lit tie about your suffrage campaigns, I do know that conditions are very different. It is an economic, and not a political question. It is over-in- dustrialism that is responsible for it alI"

 What was there in the marriage service that conferred on you the right to be rude to your partner? Love, honor, cherish until death do us part-I do not find it in any of these words of phrases

MILK SHORTAGE
Patrons of Local Dealers on Short
Rations of Lacteal Fluid.

Within the past few days patrons
| of local milk dealers have been put at
some inconvenience because they
have been unable to obtain the full
amount of milk that they have been
using during the summer. For in
stance, the housekeeper, who has put
out two quart bottles and two quart
tickets when she retired at night has
found in the morning that the milk
man has left her but quart or a
quart and a pint, of course making
the change of tickets to correspond.
Milkmen say that there is con-
siderable shortage in the quantity
that can be obtained from the farm
ers in this vicinity and they have
adopted the practice of reducing the
amount of milk that is left each Gus
toner instead of supplying some of
the customers with all they desire
and leaving others with no milk at
all
The milk business has its fuctuat-
ions like all others. The drug stores
and other establishments where soda
water fountains are maintained and
the ice cream dealers take large quan
titles of both milk and cream during
the summer but this end of the bust
ness is largely dependant upon the
weather. When warm weather drives
people to the fountains and the ice
cream parlors the dealers want large
supplies and wheh conditions are un-
favorable the reverse Is true.
There was so much rain during
July and August that feed for cattle
in the pastures was exceptionally
good all summer and the supply of
milk this year did not begin to de-
crease until later than usual The
warm weather of last week changed
conditions as to feed and also had
depressing effect upon the cows.
Then again the flies were exceeding.
ly annoying and cattle instead of
feeding sought seclusion in the brush
to rid themselves of the pests.
Milkmen claim that there are not
so many cows on the farms in the
vicinity of Bennington as was the
case few years ago and that unless
conditions change it will be neces-
sary to import milk and cream from
a distance Farms that have been
known to carry from 20 to so cows
are now stocked with less than do1-
en- head. Much of the best from
farms in this vicinity one prominent
milk dealer asserts, has been sold dur
ing the past few years and the prob
lem of securing dairy supplies in the
future, is not particularly promising,

UNION STREET SURFACE WATER
Improvements in Progress Should
Improve Conditions.


Improve Conditions.
Good progress is being made with
the work on the ditch to carry away
the surface water which in times of
freshet has always accumulated at
the foot of Union street at the june
ton with South street. The ditch,
which has heretofore carried the wat
er across the properties of w. A.
Root, G. +. Graves, DR.. L. S. Pratt and
others has not had the capacity to
prevent the accumulation in the high
way, but the street department is con
fident that the work now in progress
will alleviate if not completely rem
edy thedrouble
The ditch, which took the water
from the small broow paralling South
street was opened year ago, max
ing some improvement but the
changes now in progress are on Il
much larger scale. A concrete tube
shaped like a verticle section of an
egg, 4S inches in height and 80 in
ches wide at the largest diameter, is
being built across Washington street
This tube will be extended portion
of the way across the property of Dr.
f. S. Pratt 1t is also planned to di-
vert some of the surface water which
previously ran eastward over Elm
street so that it will follow the gut
ters on Washington street and enter
nDpUinpS in thn tiIbp
Across the property of G. f. Graves
the ditch is being walled with mason
ry SO that the sides will be perman-
ent. By building the concrete tube
in the shape proposed the tunnel will
be kept clear of refuse whether the
Volume of water is large or small
and this method will also serve to
keep the ditch which enters the tube
in better condition.
While the street department does
not expect that all of the trouble
that has been experienced by the
water, and there has been whole lot
of it in recent years, will be eradicat-
ed, there is good reason for hope that
there will be a pronounced improve

Walter HoIIister Seriously Injured
While PiIfering Grapes
GUN IN HANDS or C.P. OATMAN
Owner Of Weapon Says Gun Was
PrematureIy Discharged While
Victim Was in Close Range

Walter Hollster, 16 years old, son
of Mr. and Mrs Frank l.. HOLSTER Of
Grove street, is in one of the Troy
hospitals where ne was taken by au
tomoble last night. The physician,
who made an examination OF the boy
before he was taken to the hospital
stated that he believed that one eye
was destroyed and that the other vas
severely injured.
The boys injuries resulted from
the firing of charge of Canada peas
from a single-barreled shotgun in the
hands of c. p. Oatman, who lives on
Pleasant street, about O'CLOCK IN the
evening Mr.. Oatman says that The
gun was accidentally discharged.
At the time of the shooting the Hol-
lister boy and another lad whose
name could not be learned were in
the act of stealing grapes from a vine
in the rear of Mr. Oatman's mousse.
AS soon as he realized that the boy
was seriously hurt Mr.. Oatman sum
moned DR. A. S. NJ. Chisholm who
made an examination and decided
that the case was one for hospital
treatment. The boy accompanied by
his mother, was taken in Eugene La
fortunes car and hurried to Troy
The specialist at the hospital VINO eX'
amined the boy said that the case
was serious.
Mr. Oatman has been mucn annoy
ed recently by boys and young men
who have stolen his apples, grapes
and even potatoes. Raids on his fruit
were made Sunday and Monday
nights. He was on guard both nisht5
and Sunday night says he struck a
young man over the shoulders with a
club while the thief was appropriat-
ing grapes.
Yesterday he took a shotgun shell,
extracted the wads and shot and filled
the chamber in the shell with peas.
He concealed himself behind a large
rosebush near the grape vines with
the purpose of firing the peas into the
legs of the fruit thieves in case any
visited his premises.
About O'Clock the two boys climb
ed the fence in the rear of the Oat-
man property and approached the
grape vines. Mr.. Oatman rose from
the chair in which he had been sit
ting and the boys began to run tow
ard Pleasant street. Mr. Oatman
says that he did not raise the gun to
his shoulder, that while he was en-.
deavorng to locate the safety catch
his finger pressed the trigger with
sufficient strength to release the fir.
ing mechanism and the gun was dis
charged
Mr.. Oatman found the boy sitting
on the ground and questioned the lad
regarding the identity of his compan-
ion. Young Hollister said that he
did not know the other boys name,
that he met him on the street and
that they were on their way to attend
the moving pictures when the boy
who escaped suggested that they get
some grapes

A peculiar accident occurred to car

afternoon when the trolley pole was

the Banner Office AS it approached
the end of the switch headed west,
the trolley wheel ran Off the wire and
the top end of the pole fastened se-
curely into the juction of the copper
strands. The car was still under mo-
mentum and instead of breaking the
wires the force was sufficient to
wrench the pole from the top of the
car and drop it in the street with
about four feet OF guy rope attached.
The car proceeded to its usual
stopping place with motor reversed
at the front end. That Il more seri-
Gus accident did not result is romark-
able, as the heavy iron pole fell with
in few feet of several pedestrians
who were crossing just behind the
