Question for Montpelier.
(Rutland News.)

In recent case in Washington coun-
ty court, wherein one man sued an
other for $4,000 damages for the loss
OF ms wife IN an automobile fatality,
the question of the INVESTIGATION or
otherwise of the man driving the car
was brought out. 1t is a matter of
record in this case, as we are informed.
that AL of the occupants of the ma
chine went to a certain public place
IN Montpelier and had drinks. A per-
tlnent question is: Are the prosecuting
officers to take any action with refer
en"e to the place where these drinks
were obtained, Montpelier being pro
hib1tiop city and nobody therein be-
ing legally authorized to dispense lou
ors? DO the authorities consider court
evidence of this kind sufficient ground
upon which to base a prosecution? If
they do not, what is sufficient authori-
ty, IN their minds, for prosecuting any
place for violating the license law?

Picking a Speaker.

(Randolph Herald and News.)
In the legislature of 1915 Stanley c..
Wilson represented the town of Cbel-
sea He had strong support for the
sPeal1ership, but finally retired in favor
Of Judge Weeks. He was a strong mem
Der of the house. The natural thing
this year would be for Chelsea to send
Mr.. Wilson back to the house and for
that body to elect him to the speaker
ship. We look to see both Of these
things happen.

The prospect now is that BrattIe-
boro's new station will be ready for
use before the end Of this month, and
The Meddler again makes the sugges-
ton that its completion be made the
occasion for something in the way of
public celebration. Those who have
not had an opportunity to inspect the
new structure will be surprised at the
completeness of its equipment and the
excellence of its arrangement. All in
all, it is a far better station than nine
out of ten people supposed Brattleboro
would ever possess, and the day when
it opens its doors to the public deserves
to be marked in fitting manner.

In its present condition the Der
Observation-Disclosures road is a disgrace
to the state of Vermont and a continu-
al reproach to those whose duty it is
to keep it in repair. From the Massa-
chusetts line through the so-called
Slate Rock district it abounds in mud
holes and deep ruts. Forming as it
does, one of the main entrances into
this state from the south, the road is a
particularly bad advertisement. for it
cannot help but give automobile tour
lists decidedly discouraging impress
sion of what Vermont has to offer in
the way of improved highways. Last
season this particular stretch was I'M
der the patrol system, but there is vet
no indication that the patrolman has
emerged from winter quarters.

The MeddLer
IF the coat fits you. put 1t on"

IT the outcome of Tuesday evening 5
village meeting teaches even a few vot-
ers the folly of staying away from
such a gathering just because the like
hhood of contest is not apparent then
the defeat of Mr.. Richmond NAV be
said to have accomplished something.
The Meddler is sorry about the result
because he firmly believes that Mr..
Richmond was one of the most con
selentious officials the village has had
IN many years, and that there was no
really good reason why he should not
have been kept on the job. The mere
fact that he was defeated, however. is
less to be deplored than that he was
defeated in meeting that was so far
from representative. A majority of
"a out of a total of something less
than 230 votes can hardly be said to
reflect public sentiment with anv de
gree of accuracy. The opponents of
Mr.. Richmond would find themselves in
a much better position to claim that
they We're prompted by zeal for the
public welfare, if they had made their
fight against him in the open.

Now that Mr.. Gibson can use the

Word was received here Saturday
of the killing Of w. A. Secrest out

Immediately notified and left for the

county officers are still there. 1t was
learned Monday that Barnard O'Reilly
whose parents and other relatives live
in and near Dodson, was the one who
killed Secrest, and he was taken into
custody. All kinds of rumors are
afloat as to the reason for the shoot
ing, but nothing authentic has been
learned. The news has been kept
from O'Reilly's mother as they fear
the news will be too much of a shock
for her. Her eldest son was recently
found dead in Idaho and she has
scarcely recovered from that blow. AS
soon as the facts in the case are as
certained, several prominent citizens

Very often sour milk is thrown
away because the ignorant cook does
not know how to make use Of it. Sour
milk may not only be used fer biscuits
but for waffles, gingerbread, cake of
various kinds and even salad dress
ing and ice cream, provided that it is
properly sweetened with soda. Thick
sour milk requires the proportion OF
an even teaspoonful of soda to each
pint of milk. Thin milk, Of which
there is less curd than whey requires
more soda. The soda should always be
well dissolved in the milk or sifted
into the flour if it is not to collect in
Jumps and show its presence.

EUROPE NEEDS SUGAR.

Europe needs in the coming year
$500 900 tons Of sugar from overseas,
according to an address delivered be-
fore the Indian society of The Hague
by DR.. H. C. Prinsen Geerlings. The
speaker explained in detail the effect
of the war on the sugar position in
the different European countries,
pointing out that France had been
the chief sufferer, since almost the
whole of the sugar-producing parts
of that country are in the hands OF
the Germans; the consequence OF
which was that large shipments had
to be made from the United States
and Cuba. In both Germany and
Austria the production in the past
wear has been normal. In peac: times,
Germany exported about million
tons annually; but she now uses up
all the surplus production at home,
largely as food for cattle and as raw
material for the extraction of yeast
and spirits. Moreover, the Belgian
Weld had been seized for the use of
the German armies, and for the civil
lian population of the occupied parts
of northern France.
On the whole, during the past year,
sugar prices in the producing coun-
tries of Europe have not advanced
materially, except in the cases OF
France, and of Great Britain, whose
government, Immediately after Ger
many had prohibited the erportation
of sugar, had bought 100000 tons
of the commodity at high prices.
AS regards the coming year, the
sugar production in France, the speak
er said, is estimated at only 13O, 600
tons, or less than one-quarter Of the
, normal consumption. Germany, even
with the use of the Belgian crop, can
, not produce more than barely suffic-
lent to cover her peoples needs; hence
the persistent inquiries for cattle fod
/: der containing sugar. Germany can
l however, also draw upon Austria
whose pTOuuCClOll 10 eS1AHo0ou '''
