War May Cause Some Breeds of Horses
to Become Extinct.

Farm and Fireside quotes American
horsemen high in authority as saying
that about one-half million of our
horses have been sold on war orders for
about SlOO0O0O00 since the outbreak OF
the war
Fully 90 per cent of the artillery
horses purchased were sired by draft
stations and were out of small mares.
The same horse authorities claim that
the Belgian breed in Europe has been
practically destroyed, and Percheron
breeding stock has also been heavily sac
rifced for war use.
a representative of one of Americas
greatest horse importers said it would
not be possible to find 200 draft stations
suitable for export to America. even were
expectation allowed.

Gates that American horse users must
depend on the produce Of American studs

The Tyranny Of Wills.

Many petty tyrants have sought to
impose their will on posterity. Henry
Budd. who died in 1862, gave proof in
his will OF a prejudice against mus

wear mustaches," he stipulated, then
the devise hereinbefore contained in
favor OF him of my estate called Pep
per Park shall be void, and devise
the same estate to my son William, his
appointees, heirs and assigns, And in

"Just TO make you think, talk and
act for the betterment Of your own ru-
raj school,"
If someone were TO ask you what you
consider your greatest satisfaction, and
what subject you give the most careful
attention, the chances are that you
would say, "0ur children and their well
fare" History tells us that the sons
and daughters of Vermont were ever in
the front and on the right side in all
our great struggles.
The Vermont boys and girls of to-
day are just as brave, just as clever
and just as progressive as their fore
fathers. Why do they not remain in
Vermont and help to build upon her
great natural wealth and beauty? With
the exceptions of Barre City, Barre
! Town and Montpelier in Washington
county and Williamstown in Orange
county, these counties have steadily
lost population for more than so years.
We have right TO try to keep our
boys and girls in Vermont, but the only
way to do it is to give them the kind
of education which will make them able
to live here happily and we'll
The rural school should be just as at
tractive and convenient, inside and out,
as the average home in the district.
Prof. Albert Dickens says: "The aver
age country cemetery is sorrowfully ne
elected, as a rule, but its treatment is
careful and generous, compared with the
school grounds of the average country
district" Do you believe that? Take
good look at your own school grounds
the next time that you drive past. Per-
haps here is one reason why school is
not more popular.
'Some way must be found to make
country life more attractive. The beau
tifying of the school grounds is one
way" says Supt. o. j. Kern.

NO EXCUSE FOR CAN'T"
II Is About the Worst Contraction In
the English Language.

the English Language.
"Ain't" is an improper abbreviation
of 'are not" British writers spell 1t
amt" which properly indicates its
derivation. Americans make II an in
elusive offense. using 1t for ''am not"
and sis not as well as for 'are not"
1t is unquestionably the worst instance
of slovenliness in the common speech
of today.
Yet 1t is by no means Of universal or
even common use. 1t will slip occa-
sionally from refined lips, always with
jar to the enunciator, as well as to
the hearer. But the habitual user of
"ain'ts" is careless of refinement He
may be an excellent citizen who never
beats his wife nor kicks the cat But
there is likely to be something slipshod
about him somewhere. For "ain't' is
needless, as well as cacophonous. 1t
fills no void and supplies no need.
English observers complain supercil-
iously of the laxness OF American
speech. American observers who have
listened TO the marvels Of Lancashire
Yorkshire, Devonshire and other shire
dialects are inclined to resent any as
sumption of British superiority. But
It is none the less desirable to ellmi-
nate our own linguistic sins, and of
these "aln't" is the most deplorable.-

MOSES AND SANITATION.
Ancient Laws as Effective a. Modern
Rules Of Hygiene.


Rules Of Hygiene.
There has been gathered collection
Of facts 10 prove that the sanitary laws
OF Moses were not only on line with
the modern rules OF hygiene, but in
some cases In advance OF them.
The jew, thousands of years before
Christ, settling in semltropical coun-
try, was forbidden TO eat pork or she'll
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contaglon. In the Talmud
a method of Strengthening animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day In our markets as the most sani-
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch gave
to the world the results OF his re-
searches In bacteriology the Mosaic
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did not
forbid infected poultry as food II was
only few years ago that German spe-
cialists discovered that fowl tubercu-
losis was harmless TO man,
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial OF the dead
outside all cities. These hints the Gen
tile world did not fully accept until
century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods OF the
year, but the removal of all families
in summer out to camps, where for a
time they could live close to nature.
Many of the laws of Moses were pre-
scriptions intended for the health of
both mind and body.-Boston Tran
script.

Unskilled Labor Gets 10 Cents More
Day.

An increase of 10 cents per day in
wages has been given by the Howe
Scale company of Rutland to such OF
the employees as receive So a day or
less. Word of the advance was given the
men by the foreman Friday afternoon
and it is effective as of Feb. /. It is
said that about 200 men are affected
by the new schedule. Some days ago
unskilled laborers to the number of con-
siderably more than 100, who have been
working for $l.55 per day, made it
known that they were to ask for an
increase which would bring their wages
up to Sl.75 per day. The advance in
wages by the company followed closely
upon this. The business of the Howe
Scale company has been brisk during
the entire winter. Officials state that
this is true of all branches and that
the boom is not due to war orders.

Rutland Boys Frequent Pool Room.

That minors have been frequenting
public pool rooms in Rutland has been
an open secret for many day to all

citation and by Grand Juror c. f. No
wax, at their instigation, has been known
only to a few.
II was found that many Of the high
school boys were falling below the re-
ouired standard in their school work
and the committee started an investi-
cation OF the why for this. One rea-
son for this condition of affairs needed
no Sherlock Holmes to track down for
all that was necessary for any one to
do was to watch the boys as they left
the high school to know where a large
part of their time was spent.
The committee did not take hearsay
reports of violation Of the law by game
room keepers. who permitted minors to
patronize their places. but visited the
places where reports OF the most open
violations had occurred. The law in
connection was passed in 1906 and there
has been no change made on the statute
books concerning pool rooms since that
time. IL reads: The owner or keep
