One young couple was disappointed
Tuesday, so far as Brattleboro is con

At an hour when everyone except police
officers are supposed to be sleeping, Town
Clerk Carl $. Hopkins arose from his bed
to still the insistent ringing of the tele-
phone bell.
Police Chief George Wilson wished to
notify him that Il telephone message from
Providence, Il. L.. had been received from
an ilate parent giving the name of miss

man who was supposed to be in her com
pany. The father of the girl suspected
that they were headed for Brattleboro to
be married and notified the authorities
that the young man was only 10 years of
age.
Sure enough that morning they ap-
peared at the Office of the town clerk and
asked for marriage license. Mr. Hop
kins, with the warning fresh in mind, OBJ
tanned the names of the young people and
then announced that he could not issue
a license because of the immature age of
the young man. He readily admitted that
he was only 10 years of age, but the cou-
pie did not head back towards Providence
Instead they took the first train north.

the young man attain the age of 81 years
before reaching another town where a
marriage license could be obtained.

tween 1000 and $4,000 cash in banks
Mr.. Stickney testified to several con

continued to Friday morning at 8

HEAPHY SELLS LAND.
Includes Strip Four Rods Wide Around
Marlboro Pond-Bought by State
Fish and Game Commissioner.

Thomas j. Heaphy, owner of the Pa
vilion hotel in Montpelier, a former
Brattleboro man, has sold to j. W..
Titcomb of Lyndonville his summer
place at Marlboro South pond in this
county, which included all his rights
about that body of water. While Mr..
IIeaphy did not own the pond, he did
own some % acres and about four rods
of land all round the pond which con
tains upward of $50 acres.
The purchase was made originally by
the Vermont Trout and Salmon club, a
Windham county organization, which
attempted to establish the waters as n
private fishing pond for its members,
but the matter got into the courts,
where the pond was established to be
public waters and therefore could not
be closed. Accordingly the club became
defunct and Mr.. Heaphy bought out
the interests of the members. Al
though he was asked to sell lots about
the pond many times he retained his
holdings entire, which rights now pass
to Mr.. Titcomb.
For just whom Mr.. Titcomb, who is
state fish and game commissioner, is
acting is not yet disclosed but the fact
that Major Benjamin Gates, secretary
to the governor, made out the deed, is
taken to mean that the purchase was
made in the interests of the state for
"a breeding station for trout. Mr..
lIeaphy has been owner of the proper
ty since 1900.
1t is planned to erect about 50 cot
tages at the pond for use next summer,
to be rented by colony of New York
ers.

Directors.

The directors are not the only ones
who regret the necessity for giving up
the fair this year, but those who have
learned of the fact that it is to be
given up commend the directors for
not interposing any objection to the
action of the board of health. The fair
might be held ana no case of paralysis
result from it, but if eases should re-
suit, or even one case, there would be
much criticism.
There are five sections from which the
Valley fair gets most of its patronage.
They are the West River valley, north
through Bellows Falls, Keene and sur
rounding towns, Massachusetts, and
Bennington county towns. In the three
sections last named infantile paralysis
exists.
For 80 successive years the associa-
ton has held fairs and for years it
has been one of the most important in
situations of its kind in New England.
1t had made expensive preparations for
the 3lst fair, mourning large expense,
so that the abandonment of this year s
exhibit means large loss. 1t is felt,
however, not only by the health board
and the fair officials, but by those who
benefit most from the exhibitions, that
the exigencies of the present emergency
justify the action that has been taken.
In justice to all concerned it may
be stated that the health officer and fair
officials and those most deeply inter.
ested in the welfare of the Valley fair
were in accord as to what course ought
to be taken.
DIR. Tucker on Saturday served no
tice ON the moving picture theaters not
to admit children under 10 years of
age through this month, which is in
accordance with an order of the state
board of health. This will cut down the
afternoon attendance materially, but
will have less effect on the evening
performances.

MILKMEN SEEK COOPERATION.
Wish Prompt Return of Bottles in In
terest of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Bur
den to Average Dealer.

The milk dealers of Brattleboro feel that
while their customers can cooperate with
them at all times in the matter of milk
sanitation there is special reason for them
to do so at this time when every effort is
being expended to prevent the introduce
ton of infantile paralysis in this locality.
Many people criticize if the milkmen fill
bottles in their carts or on the streets OF
at doors where the bottles have stood out
over night, because of the uncertainty as
to whether the bottles have been scaldcd
and on account of the liability that they
may contain dust or disease germs.
There are about dozen milk dealers in
town, some selling milk at six cents a
quart, others at seven cents and Others
at eight cents. They state that at siS
cents they can make no money and that
there is but little profit in milk at seven
cents, because the expense of feed and the
increased sanitary requirements of the
health officers have made the production OF
milk much more costly than it was for
merly
To meet the modern requirements tho
dealers supply milk in bottles, but the
price of bottle is equal to the average
price of milk and the ordinary dealer finds
it hardship to keep on hand "A supply OF
bottles sufficient to meet all needs. This
is due largely to the fact that customers
do not appreciate the necessity of return
ing the bottles promptly, allowing then
to accumulate and thereby reducing tn,
dealers supply. This often forces him tc
start out without enough bottled milk t.
meet all demands and when the bottlct
supply is gone he pours milk from cans
into bottles he has collected ON the route
which may or may not have been scaldeC
and properly cleaned.
Another reason why bottles should BE-
returned promptly is the danger that I
sample taken from a milk wagon may b,
intended for the dairy Inspector, in which
case, if the sample is poured into an un
sanitary bottle the analysis unjustly hurts
the dealers reputation.
There has been some discussion among
the dealers relative to uniting and raising
the price to a point where they can better
afford to keep a larger supply of bottles
on hand and begin their routes with al
ample number thoroughly cleansed.
