June has only thirty days this year,
but they are all long and usually full
of heat germs. 1t is a very wasteful
month with regard to heat, being
exceeded only by July and August,
which do not produce anything else
worth mentioning. Scientists have
never been able to discover why June
puts out so much heat in raw ana
unbottled state, instead of dividing it
up WITH some month which hash t any
like February. We are told that heat
and cold are regulated by nature. but
at times it looks as if the regulating
were being done by the government,

Company. Almost every June lot

but it seems they had been around anu
watched a number Of Circus Clowns.
And little Grasshoppers rode on
the backs of some of the big ones, and
there were Grasshoppers dressed as
Policemen. On their hats in large
green letters were written the words:
We keep order The Fairies thought
that was very funny And the Grass
hopper Policemen certainly were queer
looking objects!

Tricks.
They turned Somersaults-they had
Swings made of Blades of Grassland
they did all sorts of Tricks like you
Children see performed on the Trapeze
in the Circus.
And some of the Circus Performers
rode on the Backs Of the others, and
they jumped through Hoops and way
up in the Air-then landed back quite
safely again.
One Of the finest Tricks OF all was
little Greeny Grasshopper's Trick of

the Rope Walker does in the Circus
And he carried a Parasol made Of a
beautiful Apple Leaf. The Fairies
clapped and clapped when they saw
his Trick and he had to come out
again and again to bow
But, as you may easily guess, the
most wonderful of all was the Jump

For when you see them, of course
they are not trying to do their very
best. The Day of the Circus, though,

put of products In 1900 the number
of such establishments reported in the
United States was $500. In 1914
there were 1914, loss of approximate
ely 500. But in the same period the
output of butter, cheese and conden-
sed milk increased from a value Ct
$275, 277, 900 to $37O,818,920, an in
crease of nearly $1O0,000,OO0
That this increase in value was not
due to a decrease in the number of es
calculation including both value and
output for the two years compared.
In the first of the years, tle output
of butter amounting to 627, 146, 865
pounds, was valued at $180,174,090,
and in the latter year the output of
7S6,014, l4S pounds was valued at
1923, 179, 254. Prices were, for the two
years, practically the same, but this
fact may perhaps be attributed, in
large part, to the other fact that the
amount Of butter made on farms and
sold direct to retailers or consumers,
which, as shown by the census of 1909,
amounted to 994,650,61O pounds was
over 100,000,000 pounds greater than
1914. In 1909, however, the making
of butter on farms had fallen off a
little more than per cent from 1900
No statistics are now available to
show whether or not this decline has
been progressive, and cannot be until
the next federal census is taken. Should
it be found progressive, we shall then
have better basis of calculation for
determining whether the loss of com
petition among dairy establishments
is a large factor in advancing prices.

fifty Grasshoppers played on Blades OF

Music and the Fairies enjoyed it. Be

sang funny Songs while the Parade

There were the Grasshopner

They went around doing all sorts Of

of unrestrained and unfitered heat is
distributed over this country which
could be used to good advantage right
after the holidays. If Congress would
step in and prevent this discrimina-
tion, instead of trying to crush the
downtrodden hard coal baron, it would
be more poular tdan it is.
June's most flourishing industry is
the production of June brides. There
Is not a day III the month which does
not witness some resolute. self possess
ed bride-elect walking up to a floral
arch and repeating the double ring
service in ringing tones. An equal
number of depressed bridegrooms also
walk the plank during this month. and
for Eears after can never hear the 14th
of June mentioned without reminis
cent pang. During June the average
clergyman is afraid to leave the house
to make pastoral call or get trusted
for q sack of flour for fear that some
bride and groom will come Looping up
to the parsonage and want to exchange
a 50 bill for a marriage certificate in
three colors. If June came only once
in five years the clergr would have To
take in washing.
In June, however. the roads are good
and gasoline begins to drop. which
makes everybody wish il would last
ninety days instead of thirty.

Great Britain is pretty busy little
nation nowadays, and while the atti-
tude of our administration is suppos-
edlv neutral, still the Underwood tar
iH law comes in handy as a resource
ON which England nay confidently re
ly. Great Britain sent us $191, 400, 900
worth of merchandise during the eight
months which ended February 1916,
which was 100000 more than she
has sent us for the same period ending
February 1915. If there had been no
war it is probable that England s ex-
ports to this country would have been
twice what they were under our pre-
sent near-free-trade policy, but for
what we received we are truly thank
full.

George L. L. Badlam, local grocer.
brought action against George T. An
CELL, his former delivery boy. and
James Bell, the iatter's friend, to re
cover $500 for the loss of an automo-
bile delivery truck a few days ago.
After the store had closed one evening
Angel took the truck without permits
sion, and went for JOY ride. The
machine caught fire and was totally de
stroyed. The writ declares that An
geil struck a match to ascertain what
had stalled the automobile and that
the gas caught fire. Angel is a North

the cooperation of subscribers to that
end. Prompt reports should be given Of
each failure to receive the paper on the
morning following the omission, in per

the proper remedy Immediately applied.

If the coat fits you. put II on"

Although business in Brattleboro
does not seem to be enjoying the boom
that IS apparent in Springfield, Wind
sor and other towns where machine
working industries are predominant
it would be untrue to say that local
plants are not participating to a con-
siderable extent in the prosperity in
which the country is wallowing at the
present time. There is hardly manu-
featuring concern in Brattieboro that
is not buster than usual, and in tle
cases of a number of them the biggest
problem is to find help enough to keep
their output on par with the demand
for their goods. The labor problem
has been complicated of late by the
large number of agents from down
country plants who have been through
this section offering big wages to all
grades of mechanics. Many young
men have taken positions through
these representatives, but in at least
a few eases they have found that liv-
ing conditions in the cities to which
they went were such as to more than
offset the increase in wages which
they received.

While it may be cause for regret
that local industrial conditions are
not so strenuous as they are in some
adjoining towns there is consolation
in the fact that the present volume of
business in town is not likely to be
directly affected by any important
happening like peace in Europe, in
tervention in Mexico, etc Conditions
here are in no sense artificial or alb
normal They are not based on an I'M
usual demand for any particular pro
duct, but are rather the result of gea-
eral prosperity. Consequently Brat
tleboro is in much better position
to meet any possible emergency than
those towns and cities that have been
obliged to incur heavy liabilities to
keep pace vita the demands of boon
business.

The interest which Local automc-
bile owners took in the meeting las.
Saturday evening to consider the pro
posed traffic regulations shows that
they appreciate the value of a code
of rules that will he simple and easy
to enforce and yet conducive to the
safety of all concerned. This is exact
ly what the town and village officials
seem to be striving to get and with
the cooperation that is coming tleir
way the result ought not to be diff
cult of achievement. With the increas-
ing number of public automobiles, the
authorities may find It necessary to
make special regulations governing
their location. On the whole these ma
chimes are a convenience to the pub
lie but it is a question how much of
the business section Of Main street
they should be allowed to occupy.
