INTOXICATED CHAUFFEURS.
Barre Times.

Barre Times.
1t happened near Lewiston, Me. An
automobile was driven off the road into
field because, it is alleged, the occu-
pants were to drunk too steer the ma
chine straight. The occupants got into
a wrangle and then fight. After that
the two male members of the party laid
down in the field and went to sleep,
while good Samaritan, coming along
in an automobile, took two women and a
small child to hotel in nearby town.
Word was sent to the police department
of Lewiston but the department decided
the affair was outside of its jurisdiction
and refused to take charge. Next the
sheriff of the county was summoned,
but he said that all of his men were busy
in court and could not be spared for SER
vice in the case. So the two men slept in
the field. Eventually their car was right
ed and hauled back into the road where
upon the men started to drive away
They had gone but short distance when
their machine crashed into fence near
bridge and was somewhat damaged.
Again was the miX-up Strengthened out
and the men motored away in the gen.
eral direction Of Lewiston. The account
of the proceedings does not tell how
many more times they went off the roads
or how many times they collided with
fences or bridges in their continued
Journey. Nor was it chronicled whether
the two men reached Lewiston.
However, it is certain that someone
was woefully recreant to his duty in fall
ing to see to it that the automobile was
taken away from the men until such
time as one of them was in condition to
drive it without placing unwarranted
hazards in the way of other people who
were using the public highway and who
had right to demand that irresponsible
motorists back of an automobile wheel
be kept off the road. 1t has been said
with absolute reason that no person in
such a condition as the two men in ques-
ton are reported to have been should be
allowed to handle an automobiles opera
ton. The chances for serious accident
to someone else are too numerous al
together. We think that such dis
graceful situation should not have been
allowed to continue.

AUTO TURNS TURTLE.

An auto owned by Earl |. Thompson of
Woodstock and driven by his wife went
over 30-foot embankment about three
miles outside Woodstock Sunday morn
ing. Miss Thompson, sister of Mr..
Thompson, is suffering from a sprained
ankle and the three weeks old Thomp-
son baby is in the hospital at Hanover,
N. H., with injuries which may prove
serious. The other members of the
party, including Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson,
their young son, and Mr.. and Mrs. George
Clark, escaped with slight bruises. The
windshield, one fender and top Of the
car are badly damaged. The party left
Woodstock for Bellows Falls Sunday
morning with Mrs. Thompson at the
wheel. When about three miles outside
of Woodstock something went wrong
with the steering gear, according to
Mrs. Thompson's account of the acct
dent, and she lost control of the car,
which went over the embankment and
turned over three times. Mrs. Thomp-
son was thrown out the first time the
car turned over, while the others went
out later.

POST MISTRESS ROBBED.

Shortly after s O'Clock last Friday
evening, Miss Katherine Mooney, post
mistress at North Ferrisburg, was as
sauted and robbed of 5000 while on her
way from the postoffice to her home,
a distance of an eighth of mile. The
postoffice is located in the Allen build
ing in the center of the town.
Miss Mooney closed the office at the
usual hour and started for home. She
was carrying in one hand small satchel
in which were the postoffice funds and
in the other, an umbrella. She had not
gone more than 20 rods from the store
when some person approachedher from
the rear, struck her on the head, snatched
the satchel and escaped into the dark
ness. Miss Mooney, although dazed by
the blow, managed to reach a store
where searching party was immediate
ly organized A thorough search for the
thief followed, but the pouring rain and
intense darkness aided him to make
good his escape. Miss MONEYS head
was cut from the blow, but she was
able to be on duty at the Office Satur-
day. No clew for tracing the robber
has yet been obtained.

WHY USE PROFANITY.
81, Adams Messenger,


About the most effective talk against
swearing that could be delivered was
made by Chaplain John NJ, Thomas to
the Vermont regiment at Eagle Pass
one Sunday evening in July when the
soldier boys were spread out at ease on
the sands Of Texas,
Thsre was no silk glove handling on
the subject, the chaplain hit from the
shoulder and hit to good effect. He
said that more that half the cursing
was due to lack of courage, to a false
desire to measure up to a'fase standard,
Many boy, he said, who did not
use profanity at home, thought that
in the rough and tumble Of soldier
life he must be able to "swear like a
trooper" or something was lacking in
his sodierly make up. In short, the
chaplain said that men who swore I'M
der these conditions were swearing
from cowardice, pure and simple.
Did it have any effect? One display
of the result of the talk was most
amusing. The writer was passing a
certain tent in certain company
street which was occupied by a man
who could lay claim to the most arts
tic profanity in the regiment Some
one was heard to swear and the oath
was,quickly followed by the voice of
the artist.
"Do you see that sign?"
eyes"
"Well the next time hear you swear
III knock your head off, and this
time will cost you quarter. d"
In other words the men were placing
check on profanity of themselves
and their fellows. Profanity is bad
habit, mainly nothing else. 1t is
thoughtessness. The oaths and curses
are not genuine, they are not meant.
The most rabid oath user in his string
of blood curding curses does not mean
more than President Wilson does when
he says, Tut, tut, after missing
drive on the golf course. 1t would be
better, then if more of US let 1t go with
tut, tut.

"Our entrance to this building should
mark a new day for the college. We
shall be subject hereafter, as we take
our places in this reverent room, to a
new influence, gentle, elusive, mysti'
cal, but real and deep, and holy, which
should refine our feelings, enoble our
ambitions, and purify our deeds, until
unconciously our manners become
more gentle and our lives more pure"
Well said, And what Dr. Thomas
said about the splendid new Mead
Memorial chapel should be said about
every church in the land; it should be
"reverent ROOM and no gathering
should ever be held there that would
tend to dissipate the value of rever'
ent associations.

STATE PRISON GUARD KILLED.

STATE PRISON GUARD KILLED.
W. H. Case of Windsor was killed
almost instantly, and w. B. TuXbury
and A. Fullerton Phillips escaped with
minor injuries when an automobile in
which they were riding left the high
way near Ascutneyvile and crashed
into tree Tuesday evening. Mr..
Phillips sustained bruises and cut ar
terry, while Mr.. TuXbury was merely
bruised. The last-named was the owner
and driver of the machine. The car
was but slightly damaged and was
driven into Windsor on its own power.
Just how Mr.. Case met his death was
not learned, although he is said to have
been terribly bruised all over his body.
The body wasfaken to Windsor as soon
as help could be summoned. Mr.. Case
was a man well along in years and had
been for the last 25 years the night
guard at the Vermont State prison in
Windsor.

MILK PRICES.
Brattleboro Phoenix.

The embattled farmer RS of southern
Vermont who ship their milk for dis
tribution in Boston have taken firm
stand in favor of an increased price for
their product. They want what
amounts to about a cent a quart
m ore, and if the price is not forthcom-
ing they will stop shipments. Here's
hoping they get their price, and we be-
lieve they will. There is nothing that
compares with milk as an all-around
food and it is an absolutely essential
commodity. With the advance in all
other kinds of foodstutfs it is doubtful
whether the consumer gets more for his
money, even in the large cities, than
when he buys milk. Certainly milk
prices are not commensurate with those
of other foods in every day use.

OVATION FOR COL. REEVES.

Col, Ira L, Reeves, president of Nor

after three months absence with the
troops in Texas, was taken to the uni
versity at once, where corps had assem-
bled to greet him. He was met by a
rousng N. U. cheer. President Reeves
then gave short talk. He said that
he hoped to be back to Norwich for
good by Saturday. Until then he would
be busy mastering the regiment out of
the federal service. He regretted deep
ly that the original plans for the citizens
training camp at Norwich this summer
had to be given up. After he had
finished speaking he shook hands with
every cadet present,

FLOUR PRICES SKYWARD.
Waterbury Record.

The price of flour keeps increasing and
today it is quoted at $500 more per bar
rel than one y ear ago. If prices keep
going skyward- Vermont farmers will
start in growing wheat and ask the grist
mill man to start up the flour mill again.
Good wheat can be grown in Vermont
and our grandmothers made excellent
bread from native grown wheat, milled
at the home grist mill. The bread was
not quite as white, but it was pure and
had flavor and the digestive qualities
that made healthy boys and girls.

destroying the carriage and throwing
out both Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes. The
former was considerably cut about the
chin and face, but Mrs. Hayes was only

SHEEP, DOGS AND GOATS.
Springfield Reporter


One reason often alleged for the
few sheep in Vermont pastures is the
fact that they are so often destroyed
by dogs. The financial loss and the
cruel taking off of the pets of the pas
ture, have discouraged many Yer
mont farmer from purchasing or en-
larging a flock of sheep,
The Reformer says that half dozen
goats in a flock of sheep will remove all
danger from dogs, as the goats con-
slider it fine fun to chase the dogs into
the middle of next week. Besides this,
the goats will give milk for the children,
and their flesh is often considered a
greater delicacy than lamb. Will this
get the goat" of those who have pre-
viously failed in keeping focks Of sheep
on the Vermont hilsides?

was not church it was designed to
steal from no one the faith of his

Thomas that the place should not be

or even college cheers distract the
mind; that no other associations should
cluster around the building than those
that attach to 1.-THE searching of our

FARM PROPERTIES.

One of the striking features of real
estate transactions in Vermont during
recent years is the fact that large sums
of money are being paid for farm prop
critics. For instance, farm in Lamoile
county, on the road between Morrisvlle
aud Wolcott, has just been sold for $780,
600, the purchaser being, as in many in
stances of late, resident of Canada.
A small sized fortune can be invested
in an average farm in Vermont in these
days.
