Yes, the spellbindcr is as dangerous
10 himself as to others. He sets his
audience wild, and it responds by set

discourse is reached both spellbinder

responsible, the former saying nearly
anything to provoke applause, and the
latter applauding nearly anything said.
Mr. Wilson is not spellbinder, as
the word is used, but a speaker Of de-
liberation, who seldom trusts to the in

himself with care. Being q stcnographcr,
he is able to preserve his best thoughts

him intoxicated by it.

Barton, Oct. 17-Louis Stratton,
aged eight years, was instantly killed
when struck by the automobile owned
and driven by G. p. Jenness of this
place. The accident occurred at the
intersection of Glover and Elm
streets about $3.50 this afternoon when
the boy stepped from behind some
cows he was driving, into the path Of
the machine. The driver is held
blameless.
Glover and Elm streets intersect at
right angles and according to specta.
tors Louis Stratton was driving a herd
of COWS across the intersection as the
car driven by Mr.. Jenness approach
ed at right angles from the other
street. The boy was partly hidden by
cow at the rear of the herd, and he
stepped out just as the auto reached
the spot. The boys face was crushed,
although the machine did not go over
him, and the supposition is, that one
of the lights struck him in the face.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Leon

BOY KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE.
DIR. Allen Who Owned and Drove
Machine Is Held Blameless BY
Witness.

Simeon Vermette, 15 years old,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Vermette
of Maple street, was instantly killed
by being struck by an automobile
owned and driven by DR.. ]. M. Allen,
Friday forenoon at about 11.3O, near
the Maplewood farm on the road 20
Lyndonville.
The boy in company with Leroy
Brooks, both of whom were employ
ed by George H. Morrill, as farm
hand, had just left the house on the
way to the pasture. AS they started
north in the main road, Brooks heard
an automobile and also the warming
horn, and turning saw DR.. J. M. AL
len in his new roadster about 100 feel
away Brooks was walking on the
outside with the boy toward the, mid
die of the road. According to the
formers story he warned the youth,
saying, Look out Sim, there's an auto
coming" So saying he stepped to one
side and expected young Vermette to
do the same. For some unexplain-
able reason, just as the car got to
theJ., the boy looked over his should
er and then jumped sideways toward
the middle of the road and directly
in front of DR.. Aliens car. One of
the lamps struck him, knocking him
| down and he was dragged a short dis
tance beneath the car.
DR.. Allen applied the emergency
brakes and stopped within a few feet.
He glanced at the boy and then tele-
| phoned for DR.. c.. A. Cramton. The
authorities were also notified and
Health Oficer F. S. Hartman and
ORcer Thomas Wallace responded.
DR.. Cramton found life extinct ana
! the body was removed to Calder
woods undertaking rooms.
DR.. Aliens statement that he was
running his car at moderate rate Of
speed is verified by Mr.. Brooks, the
only witness of the accident and is
! further borne out by the fact tha.
loose gravel has recently been placed
in the road there which rendered
fast driving practically impossible
Other evidence, if any is needed, to
prove that the doctor had his car un-
der perfect control, was the straight
path made by the wheels up to the
scene of the accident. According to
both Mr.. Brooks and DR.. Allen neither
of the persons on the road were in
any danger had they remained where
they were, as the road is very wide
and the car would have cleared them
by several feet. Neither one of them
could explain the action OF the boy
in jumping as he did toward the car
unless it was that he did it in a spirit |
of fun or became confused when he
looked over his shoulder and saw the /
car so close upon them.
Simeon Vermette was the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Vermette and
would have been Is years old next
December 9. He had been employed
as chore boy by Mr.. Morrill, since the
closing of st. GabriePs school last
June. Besides his parents he is sur
vived by two sisters, Rose. aged 13.
and Lora aged 10.
Fred Vermette, father OF the boy,
had just returned from Whitefield, ~
H, where he was called last Saturday
to attend the funeral of his mother.

CALEDONIA COUNTY LEADS.
Has More Cows Under Test Than Any
Other County In United States.

mas MOFe lows On0eP IeSJ Ihan Any
Other County In United States.
James ID. McNulty Of the United
States Dairy Division has spent part
of two weeks here with County Agent
L. A. Wood, purchasing cows for a
demonstration herd at the National
Dairy show. The purpose of this
demonstration herd is to show that
records are absolutely essential in or
der for farmer to know what his
herd is doing. Only cows with Cow
Testing association records for one or
more years We're purchased.
1t is a significant fact that Mr.. Nc
Nulty came to Caledonia County for
his cows because Caledonia county has
more associations and more COWS on
test than any other county in the
United States. At the present time
more than 1000 cows are being tested
in 141 herds
Nearly every farmer believes in the
Cow Testing association, but many
farmers hesitate to put their herds in
an association because they fear thar
they will find several cows that are
"boarders," and that their herds are
not good enough to put into an as
ISOLATION. Some think that their
dairies must make a good showing.
but the poor dairies are the dairies
that need the association and its help.
If the association keeps closed books.
one will not know what another's
dairy is doing Some feel that they
can do their own testing Many
farmers can test but in Caledonia
county, to the county agents knowl-
edge, there are but three farmers thar
are doing it and keeping complete
records.
There are a dozen good reasons
why every dairyman should be in an
association and know just what each
COW is doing and whether she is on
the profit or loss side at the end Of the
year. A pretty good vindication or
the value of the associations is that
our most successful farmers are
mem bers.
County Agent L. A. Wood is at the
National Dairy show and will not De
