THE OPEN SALOON.

The saloon men in Massachusetts
ought to be able to discern the hand
writing on the wall. Fifteen cities
voted on the license question Tuesday.
Not one of the dry column changed in
favor of the open saloon, and four
which are now under license-Fall
River, Haverhill, Taunton and Leo
mnster-voted to go dry. In most of
the cities which remain in the license
column the majorities of previous
years were reduced Pittsfeld was
held by the saloons by the narrow
margin of SO votes, and it is signif-
cant that larger cities like Holyoke
and Springfield gave license majorities
of 498 and 737 respectively. BrattIe-

MRS. CARRIE STARR HADLEY

The friends and relatives who knew
and loved Carrie Starr Hadley, whose
life was so suddenly ended on Wedhes-
day night December 6, will feel with
me the same shock and gre' which her
death has brought US, and also within
their hearts review with me the beauty
of her life, the truth of God within her
temperament, for God is love, and on
her heart was stamped this love, for
every human being.
She was the flower springing from
that distinguished New England ances-
try, whose aristocracy meant God
fearing men and whose achievements
were for the uplift of humanity. She
received her education at Vassar
College and was married to Harry
Clifton Hadley, lawyer belonging to
the old Hadley family of New
Hampshire. In her early widowhood
with her two sons she came to New
England to have them educated,
Clifton, her eldest son graduating at
Harvard and now lawyer at Fitch
burg, Mass, Egbert graduating at
Middlebury College, Vermont also at
the famous Boston School for Tech
nology. Since leaving Burlington she
has made her home in the old Starr
homestead at Middlebury, surrounded
by the many benefactions given to Mid
dlebury College by her uncles, Charles
and Egbert Starr of New York, and
continued and sustained by her noted
cousin, DR.. M. Allen Starr, also of
New York.
1t was her desire to be buried beside
her husband in the beautiful Aspen
Grove cemetery at Burlington, Iowa, to
rest, and to be near the friends of her
early youth to whom she was devotedly
attached. Her stricken sons have
carried out this wish. Sympathetic
justice was afame in her beautiful
spirit, and to her sons she has
bequeathed this, and to them no matter
how great their future success or en-
deavor, in the larger and more perma-
nent realizations of life, it can but mean
to them the illumination of their
mothers compelling character and in
fuence, gift of undying devotion of
mothers love.

1t was during the summer of 1915 that
two men arrived in town driving an
Overland touring car bearing Massa-

sell at what seemed very reasonable
figure. 1t was purchased by c H. Watt,
who drove the car the remainder of the
season and last August he traded it
with Mr. Cartmel of Middlebury for
another Car. The Overland within few
weeks was purchased by 7. II. Purcell
of this town On Friday last George
Boule of Marlboro, Mass, came to Orwell
and on Saturday he had succeeded in
locating the Overland car which had
been stolen from him nearly year and
half ago, Mr., 'ouDe started home
with his car on Saturday. The men who
stole and sold the car to Mr.. Watt are
still at liberty.

HON. +. c. ARCHIBALD FOR
JUDGE.
Bennington Banner.

The lawyers of Franklin county
have voted to support George M. Hogan
of st. Adams for superior Judge. 1t
was the supposition Of the Franklin
county lawyers that some one of the
superior judges now on the bench
would be promoted to fill the vacancy
in the supreme court due to the de-
cision of Chief Justice Munson not to
be a candidate for reelection. With
this supposition in view his Franklin
county friends will urge the selection
of Mr.. Hogan for the position of
superior Judge. Mr.. Hogan will not have
the field to himself. When the time
comes Hon. Frank C. Archibald of
Manchester will be candidate and
will have the backing of most of the
lawyers of Bennington and Rutland
counties and probably of Addison and
Windham counties. Mr.. Archibald is
one Of the leading attorneys of the
State. He grew up in Addison county,
studied law in Rutland and while his
law office has been located at Man
chester for the past % years he has
practiced about as much in Windham
and Rutland counties as in Benning-
ton. Mr.. Archibald has served two
terms in the House and one in the
Senate. He has been several times
elected States attorney for Benning.
ton county and has had many big
cases as well as the ordinary practice of
a Vermont lawyer. He is not an ANA
teur and whatever the ability and
standing of the other candidates it is
doubtful if any of them have had the
experience and training which Mr..
Archibald would take with him to the
bench.

MIDDLEBURY FAIR.
Barre Times.

The Addison County Fair association
which has a fair at Middlebury each fall,
handles quite a considerable sum of
money each year and usually manages to
hang on to considerable balance of the
same. At the same time it is not mig
gardly in the offering of attractions to
the fair-goers each season, but is de-
sirous OF giving as much as possible for
the money spent by the patrons, In the
long run it pays to be liberal albeit
there may be some immediate losses to
the promoters of an agricultural fair.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
AGENTS
Burlington News.

buiibkNSh NNNo'
Although almost unnoticed among
the urban population the County
Agents of Vermont are carrying for
ward a great constructive movement
and one designed to bring Vermont
agriculture to a realization of its big
opportunities.
At their convention recently ad-
adjourned in Burlington these men, in
set of resolutions, put in the records
a statement of what they are trying
to accomplish for the Vermont farmer.
They are prepared to furnish in
formation on the best methods of
forming dairy Improvement associa-
tions, on the various economies that
can easily be made, on the health and
care of the animals, and on standards
of weight, feed, etc.
They are prepared to furnish the
principles of basis on which CO.
operative associations for the trans
portation and marketing of farm
products may be profitably formed by
farmers, and to 60 into all other de-
tails of what the experts have ascer-
tanned to be the fundamentals of sue
cessful farm operation and manage
ment.
The movement and the work cannot
be belittled. 1t represents ideas Of
progress which, if adopted, will restore
Vermont to "a place in the sun" agri-
culturally.

HIGH COST OF PRINT PAPER.
Bellows Falls Times,

The two weekly papers at Clare
mont and the paper at Londonderry
have announced that they are going
to advance the subscription price
from 81 to $l,25 per year, All have
made a mistake, not in advancing
twenty-five cents, but in not advancing
fifty cents. No paper is published in
Vermont or New Hampshire which is
not worth $l,5O per year, The Ludlow
Tribune has made the sensible move
and gone to $l,50.
