WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Shifting Responsibility Not Right.

The Barre Times says that ''Burling-
ton doesn't care where it's 'undesir a.
bles' go if only they will leave town !"
Isn't this policy true of many towns?
No community has moral right to
shirk its responsibility and thrust
undesirable citizens on other communi-
ties. but it's policy many of them
follow.-Hardwick Gazette.
A Judge Factory.
Did you ever hear of judge factory?
ST. Johnsbury has one, according to
the Caledonian. Harland B. Howe,
recently appointed Judge of the United
States district court. was law stu
dent years ago in the office of Fl. c.
Ide. Wendell P Stafford, Judge of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, and William H. Taylor of
Hardwick. judge of the supreme court
of Vermont, also secured their knowl-
edge of jurisprudence within the same
walls. The firm at one time was
Belden, Ide & Stafford. Mr.. Belden
became judge of the district court of
Minnesota and Mr.. Ide chief justice of
Samoa. At least half dozen aother
men who were students at the judge
factory became successful in their
professional work and some of them
may land on the bench before they
round out their careers -Brattleb0ro

Governor Gates Makes Appeal.

Governor N1atGS Makes Appeal.
To the People of Vermont:
By request of the New England COM
mission for relief in Belgium, wish
to call your attention to the relief work
which appears to be necessary to aid
the distressed people of Belgium.
The national commission claims to
have thrty-two ships in active serv-
ice carrying supplies to Belgium.
| The second New England ship it is
expected will leave Boston March LIST,
! and in view of these needs in Belgium.
and in view of helping the New Eng
land committee in this work of fur
nishing food and clothing, have ap-
pointed state soliciting committee to
perform the work of gathering supplies
to be forwarded to the New England
committee at Boston for the general
relief of the BeIgians.
| am informed the situation IN Bel
GUM is such, that it is absolutely
necessary to continue these shipments
of food and supplies for the next five
months The reason for this is that
these unfortunate people will not be
able to plant and raise a crop before
June.
The chief need of the BeIgians is
nOn-perishable food, new clothing and
blankets. Food. however. is the most
important need. This should include
flour, wheat, beans, peas, harley. oats
rice. canned goods of all kinds, cura
tive and salt meats. etc Money is
not necessary, but if you wish to give
money Instead of supplies. it may be
forwarded to H T Rutter, cashier OF
the Howard National Rank of Burning
ton, and it will be used for the pur-
chase of food under the direction OF
George 7. Bliss, D, D. Mrs. Joseph
Aud and H. T. Rutter.
In large shipments of food. in order
that reshipment may be avoided, IN
structions may be received from Mrs.
Joseph Aud, secretary, Burlington,
VT.
1t is understood no expense is IN
Cured for the executive work done IN
this state. Under these conditions II
appears that the benefciaries will
receive full benefit of your gift. and
therefore recommend that the people
of Vermont give to this worthy cause
as they may feel able.
Further information regarding the
work in Vermont will be forwarded by
the secretary. Mrs. Joseph Aud, ane
through the press.

The Hon. Joseph Battell. widely
known citizen of Middlebury, died at
six O'Clock Feb. % in the hospital of
the Georgetown University at George
town. D. c., from a complication of
diseases with which he had been aff1ict-
ed for more than a year. Joseph Bat
tell was born in Middlebury July Is,
1889. His only sister was the wife of
former Governor and United States
Senator John w. Stewart. In 1865 he
purchased large tract of land on the
Ripton mountain where he erected the
famous hostelry known as the Bread
Loaf Inn and which for many years,
with added cottages, has been filled
in the summers with guests from many
of the large cities. This hotel was
one of Mr.. Battell's pet projects and
he spent much Of his time there during
the summer seasons. He was the
arch enemy of automobiles and did not
allow them upon his premises. Mr.,
Battell was a man of generous dispo,
sjtion but eccentric character. His
money was always at the command of
worthy projects and through the large
number of workmen whom he employ ed
it was diffused widely throughout the
community.

Verm mt Bankers Meeting.

The Vermont Bankers met at Bur
lington on Washington's birthday to
hold their annual session. The feature
of the occasion was the address by
Alfred l.. Aiken, governor of the
Reserve bank Of Boston. who spoke
on, THE Federal Reserve Banks and
Some Phases of their Operations. A
resolution indorsing the AldrichVree-
land emergency act and recommending
that it be made part of the federal
reserve act, was passed. Harry F.

gave very interesting address show
ing that there are nearly 100000 saw
ines bank depositors in the state,
which deposits if distributed pro rata
would mean $3.50 for every man,
woman and child in the state. Secre
tary C. S. Webster of Barton in his
annual report showed that the numt er
of banks in the state is 104, Of which
over one-half are savings banks and

WEEDS In a Plaster Suit.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Seraner came
all the way to Saline county from
Fayetteville. O.. to become the bride
of Francis de Sales Schneider. a
young farmer near Saline. and even
then came near losing out for a delay
at least, but she was equal to the
occasion and is now Schneider S
bride, says Saline tKan.) dispatch
to the Kansas City Journal.
The promised delay in the nupual
affairs of the young couple was
caused by Schneider getting into a
runaway accident and sustaining a
broken leg, fractured ribs and bruises
all over his body, and his sweetheart
found him bound in plaster of paris
casts so tight'he could not move.
The situation was discussed, the
young lady hooked up the favorite
horse to a buggy and came to Saline,
secured the marriage license, engaged
the preacher and returned to the
farm.

COUNTED PROFIT AND LOSS
Disseminating Business for That
Day, at Least.

The present generation is scarcely
aware that at one time our one-dollar
and two-dollar bills were marked with
Roman instead of Arabic numerals.
Therefore. when the youth left tempo
rarily in charge of the general store in
a small country town was approached
by stranger and asked for change for
an eleyen-dollar bill. he looked curl
ously at the greenbaek. but courteous
ly acceded to the request. The owner
OF the store sauntered In some time
later.
We'll. Sam, any bnsiness?"
"Nothin' 'cept changin' a 'leven-dol-
lar bill fer a drummer" the boy an
swered unconcernedly.
The storekeeper started for the cash
drawer, looked long and sorrowfully
at the old two-dollar bill. then said
sadly:
Put up the shutters, Sam. We've
done enough business for one day.

Just to show how much averse 10
slang he was, small boy in a Chicago
school explained to the teacher one
day that he had been walking with a
friend, but neglected to take off his
hat when they met a lady both knew.
His friend had nudged him. and Wits
pered:

What he should have said" az.

The general sentiment is summed
up in the words of a small boy, who
ventured this:
Anyway, it's only roughnecks who

lack OF feed. found with their barns
full OF stock. and II did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from leo acres to two sections OF the
finest land that can be found.
