farmers to 90 into this work. 1t is a
great thing for any community and es-
pecialy for the men getting the work
done. At present about fifteen men have
been found who are already in the Cow
Testing association or ready to join, and
who are selling their milk to be shipped.
1t will be necessary to find before May

THE BAILEY PAMPHLETS.

Middlebury College is to be congratu-
lated on acquiring the notable collection
of Vermont pamphlets of the late
Horace W. Bailey. While their value
as sources of information of Vermont
history is considerable, there is an
added interest in them as collected with
great patience by one of the truest Yer
monters of our generation. Horace
Bailey worked to gather and preserve
these records of our State with almost
religious zeal Every day for many
years he did something, wrote letter
or looked over book auction catalogue,
to increase his collection. He read
every pamphlet and knew the contents
of every book. 1t was because he
loved the story of Vermont and was
proud of the achievements of Vermont
men and women, that he worked anc
sacrificed for his collection Of Vermont
literature.
1t would be false to his memory to LEI
this collection stop where he was obigec
to lay it down. 1t should be added tC
year by year, old documents as they
can be obtained and important contem
porary publications. In honor OF Its
founder the collection should continue
to be called "Bailey's Collection OF
Vermont Pamphlets, no matter t(
what size it may grow.
Such a collection must inevitably
create liking for Vermont history. II
the college it will affect the taste Of
many future citizens of the State ant
make them better Vermonters. II
exerting such influence over young
minds, it will perform service which
Horace Bailey would have most heartily
approved.

Big Film Hit Coming

Manager Gaffney of the Orpheum
and Strand theatres in this city an
nounces another big film feature for
next Saturday and Sunday, descrip-
tions of which are set forth in the
theatre advertising on another page.
The film feature is entitled "The Bat
tie Cry of Peace" and is the second
big undertaking. i'm a short time, the
best since "The Birth. of a Nation"
which drew such tremendous crowds
to the Strand.
"'The Battle Cry of Peace" is
hearlded as a propaganda against war
and deals with the present problem of
unpreparedness. 1t is intensely pat
riotic in nature and never fails to stir
the emotions. The picture has been
shown exclusively in the big cities
because of the great cost of film pro-
duction and copyrights held by the
producers. In getting the pictures
for Morris Mr.. Gaffney will be to
great expense but he wishes to thor
oughly try out the claims that Morris
people are eager for the bigger things
in filmdom. His success with the
"Birth of Nation" indicated local
popularity for high grade pictures.

The old unshakable rain hoodoo
which has pursued the Grant County
Fair association for years appeared
again last week and greatly cut down
the attendance. The various depart
ments of the fair were bigger and bet
ter this year. The educational and
women's departments had more en-
tries than last year which broke the
records. The homemade sports pro-
grams were exceptionally good but a
visiting carnival company spoiled it's
reputation and it is possible that the
fair association will hereafter place a
ban on outside amusement enter
prises. A ball game between Her
man and Morris was one*of the best
seen at Herman for many a day. The
score stood 3 to in the last of the
ninth inning with Morris on the heavy
end of the score board. At that stage
of the game desperation siezed the
Herman home guards and they resolved
to do the seemingly impossible, and
they%did. With lightning-like speed
they slipped four men across the home

"It was short evening" said one of the attendants to Mrs. Lewis when she had finished her near two hour" reading of the play Every oman" last night
 "Everywoman's" search for King Love brings her many strange ex periences and for a while she is led on by the voice of Flattery, but when Beauty dies and Time takes Youth from her she finally turns to Truth and discovers that Love is ev. CT born of Truth
 In the fourth Canticle, Youth tries to persuade Everywoman to give up her trying to win again the favor of Wealth. and they attempt to settle their controversy by asking Truth who appears as a witch calling for Charity
 To their querry Truth replies; Happiness is a Myth-a mockine mirage. A poets dream. The fleet ing substance of maniac's scheme. A wll-o-wlsp is happiness.

Condensation

Not long ago the editor of an Eng fish paper ordered story of certain length, but when the story arrived he discovered that the author had written several hundred words too many.
 The paper was already late in go- ing to press, so there was no alter native-the story must be condensed to fit the allotted space. Therefore the last few paragraphs were cut down to single sentence. It read thus:
