WANTS PETERBOROUGH

Chairman Straus Makes Suggestion
TO ShontS Regarding Subway
Trains in Dual System.

Chairman Oscar 8. Straus OF the
Public Service Commission wrote to
Theodore p. Shonts. President OF the
PETERBOROUGH Rapid Transit Com
pany. to-day asking him to consider
a proposition TO supply the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company with electric
power necessary for the operation OF
subway trains under the dual subway
contracts.
The attention of Mr.. Shonts is
called to the fact that the INTERIOR
ough is now selling direct current to
number OF companies at the rate OF
one-half cent a kilowatt hour and
alternating current at the rate OF
three-quarters OF a cent a kilowatt.
Mr.. Straus made this suggestion
because under the dual system con-
tracts the B. Il. I. may suspend for
ten years the construction OF new
power houses and contract with some
other company for the purchase OF
electric current. The PETERBOROUGH
will have enough surplus power. II Is
said, TO operate the subways which

The Monitor doesn't wonder that the
use of cigarettes and tobacco is greatly
on the increase. Pick up almost any
newspaper, weekly or daily and we
read on one page in large space,
prince Albert, the national joy
smoke" On the next page we find
staring US out of a quarter page, "Per-
lection, the cigarette with the natural
Virginia tobacco Turn over and
we see full page telling US that "Bull
Durham" is THE smoking tobacco
The very next page is probably decked
with considerable space given up to
the most wonderful Of all cigarettes,
the Mecca" The influence and pow
er of the tremendous amount of
publicity now given to cigarettes and
tobacco is scarcely thought of by the
public but the Monitor anticipates that
the enormous increased consumption
of these wares is due solely to adver-
Using. Not alone are we confronted
with this advertising in the newspapers
but in the magazines as we'll we find
pages given over to cigarette publicity,
and then we go out and are confronted
with billboard advertising. And still
some persons with wares to sell and q
public waiting to buy will not take
hold of the greatest power in the lane
today-pUblicity.

The trial lasted nearly a week.
The European war has brought the
weekly payroll of one concern at Bel

men are employed by the Vermont
Farm Machine company and the major
ity are at work on shrapnel shells to be
used by the Russian army. The COM

other order which will keep the plant
busy day and night as long as the war
lasts

THE BASEBALL FAIR.

It is not often that Barton people
regular fair in the spring, but this un-
usual opportunity was actually given
on Wednesday evening last.
AS enteredsschool hall that evening,
several fair sounds greeted me. 'Ice
cream. right this way, coolest on the
grounds" "Orsngeade, five cents a
glass;" Homemade candy, best ever,
better have some, ""Fortune told here,
past, present and future for only a
nickel, Turkish wonder of the age at
fortune telling" People were wander
ing about in groups as is usual at a
fair or finding their seats in front of
the curtained space which betokened
regular stage attractions. | observed
that the hall was gaily decorated with
flags and that the booths were also
prettily decorated. Small tables were
provided at the ice cream booth where
we were served by walters in immacu-
late white coats. A policeman was ex-
ercising his dignity as the preserver of
order in a right royal manner. The
hall rapidly filled and soon after eight
the stage attractions, consisting of
songs by the Boys Glee club and the
farce, ga First Class Hotel" were
shown. The crowd was much amused
by the troubles which the inmates of
the hotel endured in trying to secure a
good nights sleep in spite of cat
fights, pistol shots, drafts and every
conceivable disturbance. Next came
an auction sale of articles kindly given
the boys by Barton merchants for the
occasion. Some of the boys proved
that their ability as auctioneers was
considerable. After the auction the
floor was cleared for dancing which
continued until twelve o'clock. Alto,
gether the baseball fair was a great
success both socially and financially.
The idea was new one and met with
hearty support and approval Over
500 was taken in and it is understood
that the athletic association of the
academy will realize about $75 clear.

Whatever may be said for or against
any man who is likely to be candidate
for the United States senate, there
seems to be little excitement over the
situation. No one is fastening to the
defense of anyone who is in office. All
around there appears to be sort of
lukewarmness over the question. But
it wouldn't be at all surprising, in the
absence of a gubernatorial scrap, to
see lively campaign on the lieutenant
governorship and possibly considerable
fun in a somewhat educational senate
rial campaign.

The Monitor printed in it's Newport
news columns last week an account of
special village meeting there in
which was told the news that the viii
lage of Newport was to build cement
street along it's principal thoroughfare
from the railroad station to a point
near G. H. Prouty's house. Such a
street, properly drained and put in,
becomes as nearly permanent as it is
possible to make street and is, the
Monitor believes. the right course to
pursue by any progressive village on
it's most used streets. The tremendous
amount of traffic sections of our viii
lagos are called upon to carry today
make this sort of a street almost a
necessity. Take the main street of our
own village of Barton for example.
Macadam did not hold lit must be
granted that it was poor macadam)
The new gravel surface was in very bad
shape this spring and before the end of
this season will be nearly worn out.
In the judgment of the Monitor this
street we'll drained and concerted
would be an investment for the village.
Orleans village is another example
where various surfacing has not been
equal to the traffic a street must bear,
and the answer is concrete or some
form of pavement.
