Toes. said Billie Brow
ME, twill be by our famous Friends,
the Fairies" Out came the Fairies,
dressed In Silver and White. Their
Wings were of Silver and they had
Silver crowns and Wands.
They did a new Flying Act, which
the Animals and Brownies and Elves
and Gnomes thought quite wonderful,
and after they were through the
Gnome Brothers and Elf Family did a
joint Act of Rope-Walking. Bicycling,
Hoop Jumping and marvellous Tricks
on Swinging Bars, where they turned
Somersaults and hung by their Toes,
and Feet, and Arms in turnl
'After 1t was all over and every
Trick had been a Surprise-the Frogs
gave sideshow. They had a Band
which gurgled and goggled! For all
the Frogs played on Sticks and Weeds
and Pond Lilies, and made queer
sounds themselves. They also were
dressed up to look like everything but
trogs-and the Circus ended in very
Jolly way!

The Rutland News, in announcing
the closing of the grill room of the
Bardwell House, says: cit is under
stood that the commission has received
a number of complaints of alleged vio-
lations of the liquor law in the grill,
particularly in respect to the sale of
liquor to minors The News adds
that "the license commissioners did
not care to discuss the question" At
this distance it would seem to be the
first duty of the commissioners to find
out whether the allegations were cor
rect. If so closing the grill would not
suffice. In case of violation of the law
IN licensed place the only course is
to revoke the license and prosecute fol
the violations.

Good sense was shown in the adoption
of a resolution in the Republican state
convention platform i'll Burlington yes
terday of a demand for a fair trial of
the primary law. Many Of the lone-line
politicians condemn the system unre-
servedly, but they ought to remember
that there was insistent clamor for n
measure similar to that which other
Enthusiastically called progressive-had
adopted. If the Republicans had re-
fused in the last legislature to support
a primary law, and if the party had
failed to endorse it in the state con
vention, openings would have been Civ
en- for body blows that would have
stung.

The DINNER law is a thoughtful piece
of legislation which requires every au-
tomobile owner to put window shades
on his headlights and then leave them
up all night.
The object of the DINNER law is to en-
able people to drive automobiles at
night without being struck speeches.
in both eyeballs The DINNER itself
is small, retiring bulb which can be
turned off and on without hurting any
body Int the driver, who is not able
to see whether he is in the turnpike or
has strayed into an adjacent alfalfa
field. One of the most blood curdling
moments in this monotonous existence
is to throw on the DINNERS in order
To accommodate an approaching car
with a driver who is too exhausted to
return the compliment, and then edge
soulfully into a ditch whose depths have
never been sounded by man or beast.
| While it is generally conceded that
the DINNER law is a step in the right
direction, there is a growing suspicion
that it does not go far enough. How

much better it would have been to have
attached short crisp amendment pro
viding that drivers who fail to use their
di.nming apparatus shall be electrocut-
ed from the hips up. As it is now,
thousands of dinners are never used
for anything except roadside sPooning
purposes, instead of serving the noble
object for which they were designed by
a sapient Legislature.
If the DINNER law were observed by
everybody who ventures out after dark
it would not be necessary to haul off in
to six feet of ragweed in order to allow
some human catapult to hurl himself
into eternity at the next box culvert.
1t is a good law, but it is enforced in
the same rigid and unsparing manner
as the prohibitory amendment in Maine.
And yet every winter the state legis-
lature enacts a trunkful of new laws
which we are all in favor of living up
! to until it comes our turn.
| The best way to get around the dim,
mer law and avoid its noxious effects
is to ride in the daytime and rest up
at night.

The Meddlcr is thoroughly in sympathy
with the Thompson fund trustees PROPOSE
ton to extend the school nurse idea
throughout Vermont, and yet he some
times wonders just what the limit is to
the uses to which the money left to the
seamstresses, needle women and shopgirls
of Brattleboro can be put. OF course, there
is truth in the argument that Brattle-
Iboro cannot be kept free from epidemcs
unless adjoining towns are kept free, but
If this fact is to be made an excuse for
widening the funds expenditure then
what is to prevent the proceeds of Thomas
IThompson's legacy being used all over the
United States? Someone will doubtless
rise to remark that this is a narrow view
point, and perhaps it is, yet the man who
created the fund might be called narrow
minded because he failed to mention any
other towns but Brattleboro and Rhine
beck, n. Y.

The number of horses in New York
state last year, according to the children
census was 1,0l7,728, an increase OF
100000 over the figures shown by the fed
eral census of 1910 This might raise the
suggestion that the children have sharper
eyes than Mr.. Durand's staff if 1t were
not for the fact that the youngsters tlg-
ures showed a falling off Of 100000 in the
number of sheep. The day of the horse
still is.

The farmers of this section will find
general sympath with their organized
movement to secure price of 80 cents
can for milk sold to the Boston contract
Iors. One does not have to be a special
list in milk production to know that the
product is worth more today than it was
a year ago; the increased cost of labor and
feed alone prove this Furthermore there
are numerous hazards connected with the
shipment of milk to Boston and the pro-
Queer has a right to take these into con
sideration in making his price. One is al
most inclined to wish, however, that the
dairymen hereabouts might be unsuccess-
full in getting the advance in price, JUS
titled as it is, for if they withheld their
milk from the city market for any length
of time and sold their cream nearer home
it would result not only in the upbuild
ling of the creameries of this section but
in more profit to the farmers themselves
taking into account the value of the skim
milk.
