Where are they useful? / and thousands
of my fellow farmers prefer sober men
in the field and by the flreside. Manu-.
gerous to their fellow workmen and less
skillful than imprisoned men. No rail-
road desires drunken engineers or train
! dispatchers. Clear brains are needed and
really it seems poor public policy for
the state to be in the business of max
ing an article for which there is so little
demand at the present time
But even if the business is good and
proper, the principle of license is wrong
because it is unfair.
The state, by its law, says to the poor
man: "You shall not roll barrel of ale
into your house and sell it out by the
glass making profit to help support
your children" To the rich man it says:
Elk up a fine place, lay in big stock
of liquors, sell freely, buy a license with
part of your profits and the state stands
at your back"
One has means to buy a license; an
other has not. So we clap the rich man
on the back and call him comrade, and
spit in the poor mans face and call him
a criminal. Glass legislation with ven
geanee and Xermonters ought not to
stand for it.
Yours truly.

Getting 400 small children out of a
school building in East Weymouth Mass,
in 80 seconds after the building was
found to be on fire is sufficiently rapid
work for all practical purposes. The re-
suit was the more notable because none
of the children was injured, Practice,
very frequent practice, is the only means
of getting such proficiency in exit. As we
have had occasion to assert before, the
practice ought to be followed assiduous-
ly by every teacher.

opponents of the direct primary to bt
those who had some selfish reason fol-

three of them within our lines. These
fell between Bouchavesnes and Ran
court. The four others dropped in the
region of Moslains and Brie.
Lieutenant Heurteux, who brought
down one of the machines, thus &C
counted for his tenth German aero
plane. Four other enemy machines
which were badly hit after fights with
our pilots were obliged to come down
within their lines.
Last night one of our squadrons
dropped forty bombs on the stations
at Noyon and Chauny, and afterward
dropped bombs on a train between APP
pilly and Chauny.
"On the same night fifteen of our
BON harding aeroplanes dropped seven
ty-nine bombs on enemy cantonments
and byouacks in the region of Nesle
and Ham, and on the aviation grounds
at Matigny and Flez, both being hit

numerous aerial attacks, and twelve
Four Of them fell behind our lines.

Many fires and explosions were OBJ
served"

"The Secretary o. the Admiralty
announces that on the morning Of the

descended in flames
"A similar machine engaged a large
hostile double-engined tractor sea
plane, shooting both the pilot and the
observer. The seaplane side-slipped
and dived vertically into the sea two
miles off Ostend. The remains later
were seen floating on the water. Both

were off, she was telling her story, and
Policeman Charles Traenkle, of the
Jamaica station, was quickstepping
over to the Olson home from his booth
on Rockaway Turnpike, a half-mile

Rose Tells Her Story.
Roses story, as she told it TO the
neighbor and repeated it to the police
man, was this:
There were two of them. very dark
and very we'll dressed. They looked so
much alike thought they were
brothers when they came to the door.
That was about o'clock.
"They wanted to see my father and
