Teaching Patriotism
Barre Times

Being still an Englishman, although
for 20 years resident of the United
States, Ernest Thompson Seton could
not catch the drift of American pa
triotism as taught to boy scouts in the
United States. That perhaps accounts
quite fully for the fact that Seton and
the boy scout movement in the United
States have parted company, probably
forever. IF patriotism is not a fit sub
ject to teach the youth of the country
through the boy scout movement, it
would be just as we'll to abolish the
boy scout system entirely. In teaching

Christmas would lack a lot of its col

Winter is an effort on the part of the
climate to show how far it can go without
committing murder. In some localities it
goes too far, and drives people south in
droves, with their winter flannels on.
Upon reaching the south, however, these
fiannels are taken off and replaced by the
white duck pants and the curtailed bathing
suit, after which the wearer writes cheer
ing letters back north, telling how high
the thermometer jumped on a certain date
and expressing the pious hope that his
loved ones are still free from the chill
blains.
Winter usually sets in early in October
with a frost which destroys anything that
happened to be left after the July drought

Efficiency in Freight Handling.
(Holyoke Transcript. }

When the New York Central took
over the Boston & Albany railroad
property one of its first great problems
was to reduce the cost of hauling
freight trains over the Washington
mountain between Chester and Dalton.
1t had never been done advanta geously
Under the old B. & A. regime train
load of $50 tons of freight was thought
a pretty big train. Next came the
Mikado locomotives capable of drawing
800 tons. Next month, the Boston &
Albany will receive from the American
Locomotive company four Mallet loco
motives for freight service, each of
which will haul almost as much as the
850-ton locomotive and the I,500-ton
monster put together.
One of these new Mallets will take
out load of 2,150 tons and wheel it
along at % miles an hour. Four of
the same type now run between Boston
and Springfield. They are the only Nal
let engines operating in New England
and are the largest engines in that ter
rltory. The new locomotives will run
between Rensselaer, and the West
Springfield yards. Each of them weighs
$4,000 pounds, and the combined
weight Of locomotive and tender, with
full load of coal and water, will be
more than $50 tons.
The locomotives are of the compound
articulated type, superheaters, with
| compound cylinders, brick arches, auto
matte fire doors, mechanical coal push
ers, and power operated reverse gear
With all their power, however, they will
have to have help to get over the Berk
shire hills. From Rensselaer, to the tor

The Reformer has repeatedly raped
the Indifferent citizen who excuses his
failure to go to the polls on the
ground that 'Fmy vote doesn't count
anyway" The recent election in
Northampton gave a striking demon
stration of the fallacy of this posi-
ton. In ward 7 the aldermanic con
test has resulted in a tie, which a re
count has not broken. In ward 2 a
single vote was enough to elect. In
several of the contests there was more
than enough blank votes cast to elect
certain officers. Voting is a duty and
a privilege. No citizen has the right
to say that his individual vote does
not count.

LYNDONVILLE, Dec. II. : The
total number of deer killed during
the 1915 open season, according to re
ports received by State Commissioner
J. W. Titcomb, is $3.50 It is believed
that belated reports will bring the total
to at least 5000. From reports received
it is indicated that in the 5000 there
were 336 which weighed less than 100
pounds. and lit that weighed more
than $50 pounds each. OF the $3.50
deer reported $3.50 were bucks and B.
900 were does. The summary by coun-
ties is this:

shells in dripping pan, then into a

to serve with these. Set the shells on

this liquor into a cup and fill the cup

TAX BOARD MEETS
Issues No statement MS to Compelling

DpupsItors,

The Richmond city Board Of Tax Re-
view, Chairman John T.. Minor prcsid-
ing, yesterday afternoon discussed at
some length the question OF compelling
disclosures by the banks and trust
companies OF their respective lists OF
dcpositors and customers.
While no report was given out at
the close OF the session, Chairman Min
or had previously announced that the
opinion of the Attorney General on the
extent OF the power of the board would
be requested, and il is assumed that
no definite action was taken pending
the call ON Attorney General Pollard.
The local board also desires TO know
whether brokers and financial agents,
who handle cash. bonds and securities
for others. may he classed with the
bankers and required to produce lists
OF their clients.
II is probable that the local board
will address communication to the
state Advisory Board on Taxation,
asking for further instructions, after
receiving the opinion Of the Attorney
General on the several questions af-
fccting the banks and trust companies.
