number of Barre Italians have been
called to join the colors, although the
number of responses is few. Thus far,
only young men between the ages of 81

to Italy. Among those who have
received notices there is a disposition
to postpone action until it becomes
more apparent that the home land is
greatly in need of defenders. It is
estimated that nearly 500 Italians in

Game Commissioner John w. Titcomb
says that his deputies are determined
to reduce the mortality among short

strongest features of the new fishing
law is the penalty for whipping 9

deterrent is the revocation of fisher

of the law make ordinary fishermen
chary about taking chances.

There is little likelihood of the great
European conflict ending with this
seasons campaign as many have pre-
dicted. In all probability another
winter will pass and still another sum-
mer campaign be necessary to decide
the conflict At present the Germanic
forces appear to be gaining more
ground than the other armies and
while they may be in the end driven
back, it is no easy matter to pry the
German armies from ground upon
which they have once set foot. From
any information obtainable it would
seem that millions of men must yet be
sacrificed and billions of dollars wasted
before anything like decisive turn in
affairs from armed fighting will result
The Vermont newspapers news COL
umns are the principal means of pub

None of the papers appear to derive
any benefit from advertising these
schools whatever and much of the
material asked to be printed is far
from being news. Here is another
institution added to the backs of the
newspapers. There is no body of men
in Vermont so long-suffe ring and easy

Local Optionists Forget Other Towns

AooA OPnoAhoLS AoASSe oeAST Ao"uS'
The sincerity of some of the men
whose names appear on the official roll
of the Local Option league is not
questioned by the Enosburg Falls
Standard. but the contemporary de.
cides that it is natural enough to infer
that some members of that official
board are frankly friendly to the
liquor interests and may consistently
be voting for the saloon in their
respective communities at each recur-
ring March election. The contempt
rary may be right in the opinion that
''some" of the officers of the Local
Option league are active advocates of,
and voters for, the saloon in their
communities. But an interesting feat
ure in connection with the issue now
before the people of Vermont is that
while many an advocate of local option
does not, for minute, desire the
legalizing of saloon in his town, he
is perfectly willing that the liquor
interests shall make all the havoc they
can in some other town; and so it is
quite fair to presume that when he
advocates local option, he is either
forgetting the debauching influence
which the license town can exert upon
VI IlS uOGc
not stop to think any thing about it,
or he does not care anything about it.
If he simply forgets, there may be
some excuse for him. If he refuses to
think in this direction, or does not
care as to results, then he is hardly to
be regarded as deeply concerned in the
protection of other communities be-
sides his own. The Tribune has heard
many local option advocate declare
with emphasis that he would not toler-
ate saloon in his town-and it has
admired him for such declaration.
The friends of statewide prohibition
are taking the broader view, and con.
Quoting their campaign on the ground
that what is good for a community
whose local option supporters do not
want saloons within it's limits is good
for the entire state, and that the
debauching of the smaller town by the
larger may wisely be prevented by
statute whose benefcent intent shall
cover every town.-Ludlow Tribune.

A SHORT HAY CROP
Farmers in Distress over the
Outlook. What is Being
Done to Relieve the
Situation.

Farmers in many sections of
Vermont are much concerned re-
garding the poor condition of the
hay crop. 1t is claimed that in
some parts of the state not over
half the usual crop will be harvest
ed. A good second crop. will be
the only relief this season from ex-
|tremely high prices before next
spring.
The Agricultural Experts are
proving their worth in this as in
many another similar difficulty for
they are telling the farmers to top
dress with Chemical Fertilizers as
soon as the grass is cut and they
are likely to get second crop OF
hay or "Rowen'' nearly as large,
and if properly handled, of much
greater value as a milk producer
than the first crop.
The Vermont Experiment Sta
ton in one of their recent bulletins
recommend Formulas especially
adapted for summer top dressing.
If you will send your name ane
address to c. S. Page, Hyde Park

these Formulas free, postpaid, to

Mrs. Chase's Good Work.

Ever hear about.the home gardens
movement at Lyndonville? Mrs. John
Chase told the Vermont Federation of
Women's clubs an interesting story of
what has been accomplished in this
line. Starting out in a very small
way, the movement has grown to huge
proportions and now includes 600 chill
dren who are competing for prizes and
are being educated in practical man
ner toward better citizenship and
economic independence. The prizes
are offered and won in a spirit of
friendly rivalry in IS, divisions, one
being for canning among the girls.
She claims that these gardens reduce
the cost of living by teaching the
children to be producers, and there is
an aesthetic value because the children
are to observe nature and appreciate
landscapes, and above all, it is singu-
larly adapted to the needs of the state.
She recommended that there be
garden class teachers under state con.
trol.-Brattleboro Reformer.

MIR. Vail Not to Leave Vermont.

AS~NS
We are very glad to be able to state
on the best of authority that the Hon.
Theodore N. Vail is not to leave Yer
mont. Like many another resident of
the Green Mountain state Mr.. Vail
finds it necessary to spend the cold
season in warmer climate than
Vermont affords. The announcement
that he is to establish a winter home
in New Jersey. where his daughter
resides and where he will be near the
headquarters of many of the great
business interests of this country in
New York, had been interpreted by
some of the metropolitan papers as
Indicating his intention to abandon
Vermont. The people of this state,
| who have come to admire Mr., Vail for
his many splendid qualities as man,
as citizen, as an educator and as a
generous public benefactor will rejoice
to know that the large extent of land
in northeastern Vermont in which Mr..
Vail takes just pride as owner is in no
danger whatever of becoming an
abandoned farm. Huntington Free

.RETAKE bENBERG;;
FOE IN RETREAT
KaiSer'S Armies Now Con-
template Invasion of Rus
sian Bessarabia
CZAR'S TROOPS MAKE
Stand ON BUSK RIVER
By The United Press.

VIENNA. June 23-Lemberg has
fallen before the triumphant sweep
of the combined Austro-German arm
les. The Galician capital, held by the
Russians since September 3, 1914, is
now free of the enemy and the first
Austrian troops have entered the
town. The Slavs are falling back in
a northeasterly direction toward
Brody.
A brief bulletin was flashed here
from Austrian field headquarters to-
day II indicated a desperate struggle
at the last Russian barriers a few
miles west of town.
"Our second army has conquered
Lemberg after a violent fight" read
the official bulletin.
Though no details of the victory
have been received here, it is not be-
lieved the Austro-German booty will
be large. Reports to headquarters in
dicated that the enemy withdrew
heavy guns and ammunition supplies
several days ago and movement of the
main body of Russian troops over the
railway to BrOdy began early in the
week. In the final charge at the west
ern gates of Lemberg, II is probable
that the small body of Russian de-
tenders we're either annihilated or
captured, as was the case at Przemysl.
Capture of Lemberg deprives the Rus
slams of their last military base in Ga
licia. Several railways center from the
town. The important lines were in the
hands Of the Austro- Germans before the
city fell.
The moral effect of the recapture of
the city overshadows the military vic
tory. The capital of a great Austrian
province has been reclaimed from the
enemy; the Russian grip upon Galieian
: has been loosened, if not entirely
shaken and the people of Austria have
: been raised to the high pitch of enthusi
asm over Austro German successes.
The Russians, it is believed here, viii
fall back more than twenty miles, max
ing their next stand near Busk, betweel
the branches of the Bug and Styr rivers
There is every reason to believe that tn
Austro-German pursuit will continue t
the Galician border, if not into Russian
territory. Headquarters plans, it is un
derstood here, contemplate driving th'
last Russian out of Galicia, and an in
vasion of Russian Bessarabia, on tn,
southeast.

IF YOU MUST DRINK.
HERE'S JUDGES TIP
Let Wife Be Dispenser; She'll
Make Enough Money

MEANWHILE MALL0Y

Judge Churchman. in City Court to-
day, delivered a temperance lecture
out of the ordinary in making an
order. directing James II. Malloy to
pay $40 a week for support of his
family and give $500 security.
"You have a wife and seven chill
dren." said Judge Churchman. 1T
is your moral and legal right to sup
port them. The evidence discloses
that you are a victim of excessive
intemperance, which unless checked
now will surely bring you to the same
end as others who have permitted
themselves to tread the same 'prim-
rose path of dalliance.
"A great many men from force OF
habit and upon conviction refrain
from strong drink; others use il in
moderation and temperately and are
able TO control their appetites, while
those OF the third class, which you
are about to enter, drink without any
control and find themselves disgrac-

their children waits on the streets.
Before it is too late you should
change your habits. Don't drink at
all. Leave IL alone.
"But if you must drink and will
not stop. then drink under the care
and supervision of your wife.
"The following advice which l quote
will be of benefit to you:
Start a saloon in your house. BE
the only customer You will have nc
license to pay. Go to your wife and
give her two dollars to buy a gallon
of whisky and remember
there are sixty-nine drinks in one
gallon. Buy your drinks from no one

when the case will he decided. j.
Frank Ball appeared for Farrell.
Officer j. c. Riley. the first witness
for the State, said he gave two mark
ed quarters TO Josephine White. col
oiod. on Sunday, and that later Riley
and Officer Dutton made a raid on the
house, No. 219 Orange street and ar
rested Farrell. The two quarters
we're found in Farrells pocket, and
Josephine White turned over TO the
officers two packages of cocaine.
Josephine White said she laid the
two quarters on a table in the house,
No. 219 Orange street. and later Far
rcll put two packages on the table,
but she did not see him take the
quarters.
Hester White. colored, mother of
Josephine, said she saw the latter

Farrell.
Officer Dutton said he found a tin
box containing forty-two packages in
Farrell's hip pocket and some pack

AT this point Mr. Ball claimed the
formation was defective, declaring il
did not set forth that Josephine White
did not have a prescription for the
drug from a licensed physician. Mr.
Ball also declared that the evidence
against Farrell was insufficient.
