TELEPHONE LINES
SUFFER FROM STORMS
Local Wires Affected by Lightning,
While Trees Break All Trunk
Lines to Greenfield.

Yesterday 5 thunder storms were IN
considerate of the wires of the New
England Telephone & Telegraph Co. in
this locality, putting many lines out of
commission. The forenoon storm put
out 25 lines and the afternoon storm
disabled 10 more besides doing other
damage. During last night a large tree
fell across the trunk lines about a
mile north of Vernon. breaking down
all the trunk lines between here and
Greenfield and delaying toll service,
which had to be routed around through
Bellows Falls and Keene. Repair work
was begun as quickly as possible and
the service restored about noon today.
Also yesterday afternoon the light
ming burned a hole through the cable
at West Brattleboro, burning out eight
lines in that section Service on some
of those lines probably will not be fur
nished before tomorrow.
The storm put the Twin State Gas
Electric Co. $ Hinsdale line out of com.
mission about two hours yesterday af.
ternoon, but no damage was done.

Understood That Business

STORE HAS BEEN
CLOSED ALL DAY
that if Deal Goes Through
Goodnow, Pearson & Hunt Will Move
There and Enlarge Business, Per-
haps by Women's S Garments.

Z. J. Fenton & Co.'S clothing and
department store in the American
building is closed today and an inven-
tory of the stock of goods is being
made by representatives of that firm
and of the Goodnow syndicate of
which w. H. Goodnow of Keene, n H.,
Is the head and which owns a chain of
stores, including the Goodnow. Pear
son & Hunt store of Brattleboro
While no official statement is made
as to what the plans are, it is under
stood that the Goodnow syndicate con
templates buying out Fenton & Co.
with view to moving the Goodnow,
Pearson & Hunt store there from its
present location in the north part of
the 0. j. Pratt building That build
ing recently was bought by the F. w.
Woolworth Co. of New York, which
firm has notified Goodnow, Pearson &
Hunt that it desires to have the north
store vacated.
In the event that the deal goes
through it would not be surprising to
see Goodnow Pearson & Hunt put in n
department for women $ garments, al
though the firm will not say that it has
any such plans.
For some time it has been under
stood that Fenton 6 Co. have an option
on the store vacated by w. F. Root 5
pharmacy, but whether the present
move alters their plans remains to be
determined.

Spray Your Trees

In conversation held recent.
ly with Mr.. w. j. Tiller, county
demonstration agent, he said
that unless the farmers get busy
right now and spray their fruit
trees there will be very little
fruit in the country next sum
mer.
This is very important mat
ter and one that should not be
neglected.
Chesterfield county does not
raise one tenth as much fruit as
she ought.
To set out the trees is not
enough. They should be attend
ed to and right now is the time
to spray to destroy scale and
other harm ful pests. Get busy.
If you don't know how, and what
to use, ask Mr.. Tiller. It's his
business to tell you.

Pellagra Fight is
Urgent Need

Pellagra has become such q
menace in the South that Secre-
tary McAdoo has asked congress
for a rush appropriation of $780,
OO0 for studies and demonstra-
tlon work in rural sanitation
with particular view to check
Ing that disease and typoid few
er. He submitted u report from
the public health service which
said:
Increased demonstrations are
urgently required to prevent pei
lagra from becoming a veritab}e
scourge IL many rural com .uuni-
ties. In Mississippi alone there
were l0,549 cases and 1924
deaths from pellagra last year,
and in certain other Safes it has
exceeded tuberculosis as q cause
OF death. 1t is estimated that
there have been approximately
10000 cases Of pellagra through
out the country this past year,
with more than $500 deaths.n
The report states that the
country population has not kept
pace with urban communities
along sanitacy lines and that I'm
proper food has been shown to
have a profound influence on the
health Of populations and to be
directly responsible for the in
creasing prevalence of pellagra.
