DOINGS OF THE TOWN BOARD

All has been well with the new
sprinkler Just recently purchased by
the town, except a means of filling it.
They have been getting their water
from the well located on the corner of
the school park, but the pumping ap-
paratus is rather inconvenient, and
insufficient for handling so much wat
er. Plans are under way at the pres
ent time to install better pumping
system.
Three or four parties, who have
heretofore taken advantage of Kim
berly's lack of speed laws, found out
during the past week that if they
cared anything for ten or twenty dol
lars, it was best to go easy in the
town limits. The town officials are
determined to put stop to the fast
driving and give no consideration to
rank or position when the ordinance
is broken.
At meeting of the town board last
Tuesday night it was decided to put
forth an extra effort during the com
ing days to put stop to careless au-
to driving in the city limits Com
plants are coming before the town
officials continually concerning fast
and careless driving that is endan-
gering pedestrians. Dealings with Of
tenders will be stern and the fines
levied upon parties in question will be
to the limit.
Questions concerning grading the
town for future sidewalks and build
ing enterprises was considered. 1t
is hoped that grade levels will be de-
cided upon in the next few days, so
that residents outings in sidewalks
can line them up with established
levels thus avoiding unlevel sidewalks
in the future.
Guide signs and turn-to-the-right
signs were considered for the prin-
ciple corners in the town These may
be installed at an early date. Vari-
GUS other important business was at
tended to.

age less than ten acres. Surely that
is not an unreasonable demand
Professor ]. S. Jones, director Of
the experiment station, university Of
Idaho, points out that there are many
good reasons why wheat growers of
this state should fall into line with
this program.
First, Idaho is already heavy pro-
Queer of winter wheat and his small
increase that is asked will not in
volve radical changes in the systems
of farming nor heavy expenses in the
matter of securing suitable harvest
ing machinery.
Second, winter wheat ordinarily
yields more than spring wheat. The
average yield of winter wheat in Ida
no is sometimes higher than in any
other state, being 277 bushels per
acre as against 1916 bushels per acre
for the entire country.
Third, winter wheat is usually
sown at a time of year when other
farm work is not particularly press
ing.
Fourth, the partial replacement OF
spring wheat with winter wheat on IT.
rigated projects would result in an
appreciable saving of water and time.
Fifth, winter wheat is the surect
crop for the dry farmed areas
Sixth, in north Idaho where the rain
fall is Is inches or more there can be
at least a partial abandonment OF
the practice of bare summer fallow-
ing
Seventh, a price that now appears
to be fairly remunerative is guaran-
teed for the 1918 crop.
Eighth, if the need OF the nation fol
greater production of bread stuffs
/ there is for the Idaho farmer an op-
/ portunity for effective, patriotic ser
vice of the highest order
While it is believed that the farm
ers will heed this call in putting il
( the crop at the same time the seeC
wheat should not be put in hurriedly
! More than ever we should use care il
preparing a good seed bed. Use clear
ground and especially clean seed. WI
must treat the seed for smut and ge
it in the ground in time Haste make!
waste At no time was there eve
greater need for practicing the hes
methods. We should conserve as wei
as increase.

come up to the test the beet hauling
will commence at once.
Everything is in readiness at the
factory to receive the beets. The
dumps and bins have all been repair
ed and put in condition The factory
itself is ready to start. A fire was
built recently and the machinery
started. All was found to be in good
condition for the big run this fall.

the wheat business next year, by
planting fall wheat:

the wheat business next year, by
planting fall wheat:
Idaho farmers are asked to plant
$4,000 more acres of winter wheat this
fall, an increase of II per cent. This
request from the federal government
was promised the support of wheat
growers, bankers and extension work
ers of nine western states who met
last week with officers of the u. S. d.
A. at Spokane. Some states are asked
to plant far more than Idaho. Oregon
for example, is being asked to increase
her winter wheat acreage so per cent
this year This is to insure a larger
supply for home and overseas con-
sumption. This years crop of wheat
Is probably more than $50 million
bushels below expectations.
For Idaho. estimating, that there are
more than 5000 farmers who ordinar-
lily grow winter wheat this call for
patriotic service may easily be met
II would mean that the average grow
er Of winter wheat increase his acre

BLACKLEG PREVALENT

We are notified through official
sources that several cases of blackleg
have been reported from over the
state. This is a fatal disease among
calves when let go without any eff
fort to check it. 1t will probably be
wise for Kimberly farmers to get in
touch with the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, U. S. A., Washington, D. c. and
obtain information concerning meth
DDS of vaccination and symptoms of
the disease.

dered to Keep Away from Aunt,
Her Husband and Their Farm.

Charles Boyd of Wilmington, arrested
in that town last week on a charge of
breach of the peace and held in New
fame Jail for a hearing this morning,
was represented in the municipal court
this morning by Attorney Joseph Mar
tin of Brookline. Bovd had been EN-
ployed by his aunt, Mrs. Clara Boyd
Flynn, who recently married Henry
Flynn. Boyd, after the marriage left the
farm, but about a week ago returned
there to get some of his property and
had an argument with Flynn, which
Flynn claimed included threats against
him.
States Attorney William R. Daley,
in presenting the case of the court. said
that there were several matters in con
nection with the Boyd family that were
not in strict accord with the moral laws
and asked that a fine be imposed and a
suspended Jail sentence given with the
proviso that the defendant should re-
main away from the farm on which his
aunt and her husband reside.
Judge Addison E. Cudworth ordered
Boyd to pay fine of Sl5 and the costs
of prosecution and sentenced him TO
not less than three months nor more
than four months at hard labor in the
county Jail at Newfane. The jail sen
ltence was suspended and he was placed
on probation for one year with the re
quirement that he keep away from his
aunt and her husband and their farm.

WORK BEGUN ON
PULP MILL SITE
Freight and Supplies Being Transported
from Brattleboro by Motor Boat to
Lscom Meadow.
Especial to The Reformer. J

I1lNt0ljkhl-E, y. IL, d uiN
A few months ago rumors were atloat
here regarding the erection of a pulp
mill in this locality and it appears that
the location chosen is on the former
Liscom meadow now owned by the Con-
nectieut River Power company and sit
uated between the Boston & Maine rail
road and the river.
Work at this place has begun in ear
nest, with motor boats carrying freight
and supplies from Brattleboro. \ con
siderable quantity of brick has been
transferred and much more awaits the
boats on the Island There is also a large
boiler at the latter place ready 10 be
transferred. The fill for a spur track
from the railroad is already in the pro
cess of construction and last Saturday
six teams and several shovelers were
busily engaged hauling the dirt. The
only other construction work going on
| is the erection of horse barn.
The scene of this activity was exten
sively surveyed last fall and spring, and
the information was given out that plan.
/ for building pulp mill were under con
Slderation, but at the present time very
little is known here of the project.

WEST RIVER MAIL
CAR TO BE REMOVED
Fred Goodenough, Railway Mail Clerk
Makes Last Trip Aug. 9. - Closed
Pouches Thereafter.

Notice was received at the local post
office this morning that Fred Good
enough, railway mail clerk on the West
River division of the Central Vermont,
would make his last trip Aug @. This
means that after that date there will
be no regular mail car on the trains
running between Brattleboro and South
Londonderry, all mail being handled in
closed pouches.
While this change will not seriously
affect the service in and out of Brattle-
boro it is likely to work a hardship on
the towns along the line, as mail be
tween them will have to come to Brat
tleboro for redistribution instead of be
ing handled on the trains as is now tn,
case.

Freight Car When it
Was Moved
ONE ARM AND ONE
LEG WE'RE CRUSHED
Accident in Local Railroad Yard This
Forenoon - Death Came at lis in
Memorial Hospital = No Flag to In
dicate He Was Under Car.

Peter B. Lavelle, a car inspector for
the Boston & Maine railroad for over
% years, was run over and fatally in
jured in the railroad yard this morning.
His left arm was cut off below the elbow
and his left thigh was crushed and the
muscles were torn from the leg He
was hurried to the Memorial hospital
and the left arm, which was hanging
by shreds of flesh, was cut off. Owing
to his condition from shock and loss of
blood the amputation of the leg at the
hip was not undertaken. Death came at
1.l5 clock.
Mr.. Lavelle and his assistant, John
Curry, were under big gOndola coal car
which was loaded and on the bulk ward
track back of the old passenger station.
They did not have their flag out to indi-
cate that they were at work under the
ear. The switch crew backed in a string
of cars against the car the men were
|under, moving it ahead. Mr.. Lavelle
was caught by the wheels and his assist
ant was rolled over twice and knocked
Iout Of the way, escaping with scratches
IdHu bruises.
Charles Goodale, driver of a truck
team for d. NJ. Brosnahan, had lust
istarted to load freight at the Boston 4
Maine freight house and was an eve wit
ness Of the accident. He grabbed quar-
ter-lnch rope from his team and ran
to the injured man. Without hesita-
tion, as soon as Mr.. Lavelle could be
dragged to where they could work ON
, him, Mr.. GOodale used the rope for a
1tourniquet and so effectively that he
was praised by both Dr. George K. An
derson, the first physician on the scene,
: and by DR.. Harry Z. Greene, the railroad
surgeon, to whom the case was turned
over.
Mr.. Lavelle had elastic armlets on his
sleeves and the quick thinking Goodale
\ used the one on his injured arm as a
tourniquet, twisting ii until the bleed
ing from that member was stopped. In
spite of this prompt first aid, Mr. La
(, velle lost a great quantity of blood, bur
at no time did he lose consciousness.

NORTHFIELD, MASS, AROUSED.
viii Protest Against Dropping of Two
Midday Trains.

\ vigorous protest against the drop
ping of the two midday trains at North
field station was decided upon at a
meeting of the directors of the North
field, Mass, board of trade Friday aft
ernoOn.
The directors met in the Office Of the
secretary, Attorney A. $. Gordon. DR..
A. l.. Newton, president Of the board,
presided. 1t was reported that the
dropping Of the 1850 Il. m train down
and the 12.43 p. IN. train up had re-
suited in great Inconvenience and in
poor passenger and mail service
It was also reported that there was q
danger that the American Express office
at Mortified might be discontinued.
The report was that the receiving office
at the East Northficld station probably
would be retained, but that there would
| be no delivery office in the town. In
other words, express packages would be
lconsigned to the East Northfield office
where the cOnsignees would have tC
call for them or else pay for delivery
hv some private transportation com
pany or individual 1t was pointed out
THAT this would be expensive and ineon
venient At present Northfeld anC
East Mortified are covered by an ex
Ipress delivery service operating from
1.-THE Northfeld station, of which Thoma
II. Parker is agent.
The matter was discussed from man,
angles and it was decided to make
Vigorous fight against any such action
1t was moved that the secretary writ
at once to the express company pre-
testing against dropping the office
such a move was contemplated and urg
ing that. in any event, opportunit
|, should be given those opposed to sue
action to present their cases. The SEE
retary was further instructed to brin
before the railroad officials and tn
railway commission the protest of tn
board regarding the dropping of the tw
, trains. 1t was voted further that p
titions should be circulated, which
was hoped would be widely signed
all sections OF the town, protestil
against the dropping of the trains al
of the express office.
