HINSDALE, N. H.
Highways in Bad Condition.

The state highway department is
distributing sand along the boulevard
road through Main and Canal streets,
which are to be resurfaced and oiled
for the second time this season. This
road is badly worn in several places
and while these numerous repairs give
temporary aid in lettering their condi.
ton it seems as though it is only a
matter of time before most of the trunk
line in this town will have to be re-
constructed.
The experiment of oiling the gravel
road between here and Brattleboro has
effectively laid the dust, but otherwise
is proving very unsatisfactory, n large
number of cup holes forming making
the surface very uneven in many places
Other towns have also had unsatisfac.
tory results from oiling gravel roads
and it is hoped that the state highway
department will do no more experiment
ing with oil on the Brattleboro road
which, until recently, was one of the
finest thoroughfares in this vicinity.

RED CROSS FUND
EXCEEDS SI0,S30
$4,000 Mark Passed at lI.33
O'clock Monday Forenoon
Substantial Amounts Raised by Young
Women Saturday Night and at Prin-
cess Theatre Tuesday.

Brattleboro IS contribution to the Red
Cross war fund is upwards of $3.50,
and while the committee has ceased ac-
tive work it would not be surprising to
see the figures go to s 900.
AT ll.33 a. m. Monday a subscription
of + brought the total up to $l0,000.S2,
and automatically it became $10,500. 50
by reason of the $500 additional which
had been offered by one subscriber in
the event the mark set by the local com
mittee was reached.
The local fund stood at $500. 80 when
the committee checked up late Saturday.
A special drive for small contributions
took place at that time and its results
were extremely satisfactory. At 7.30
o clock the Brattleboro Military band
paraded up and down Main street es.
corting II young women dressed in Red
Cross nurse costumes and marching in
| the form of cross. After the band had
| played two selections on the Hooker
homestead lawn these young women re.
paired to Red Cross headquarters where
they were equipped with small baskets
and told to "get busy among the
crowd. That they did as they were told
is evinced by the fact that they gathered
$l49.22 in pennies, nickels, dimes, quar-
ters, halves and small bills Nearly SO
of this amount was gathered by Miss
Matilda Croll and Miss Mildred Knowl-
ton whose good natured rivalry as to
which should get the more kept them
busily at work until well after 10 p. m.
In addition to the basket collection
considerable sum of money was taken at
the Red Cross rooms during Saturday
evening both for war fund purposes and
on account of memberships.
The young women who participated in
Saturday evenings program were Miss
Harriet Arnold, Miss Dorothy Knight,
Miss Gertrude Brown, Miss Minnie
Cooper, Miss Hazel Clark, Miss Matilda
Croll, Miss Christine Croll, Miss Leila
Barber, Miss Mary Mcdonald, Miss Lii
liam Douglas, Miss Stella Gustafson,
Miss Beatrice Yearly, Miss Mildred
Knowlton, Miss Dorothy Angler, Miss
Norinne Richmond, Mrs. w. X. Sparks
and Mrs. Gerhard Tonseth.
The sum of $l09.25 was added to the
fund as the result of performance in
the Princess theater Tuesday, when
Sarah Bernhardt in Mothers of France
was the attraction. This brought the
total up to $l0,S3O.25.

SHORT STEELHEADS TAKEN.
Fishermen Asked to Be ON Lookout-u-
legal to Take Them Under 10 Inches
Planted in West River.

Fishermen who whip the streams tribu-
tary to West river are asked to be on the
lookout for small steelhead trout and to re-
turn them Immediately TO the waters from
which they are taken. Several thousand
of this variety of fish We're planted along
West River last season, and within the past
few weeks numerous fishermen have re-
ported finding them in the lower portions
of Newfane brook, Turkey Mountain brook
and other streams tributary to the river
The steelhead is easily distinguishable
from the common brook trout, being more
silvery in color and having small black
spots along the back instead of vermicular
markings Those seen this spring have
been from five to eight inches in length,
while the state law provides that they shall
not be taken less than 10 inches long They
grow rapidly, however, and if not molested
they should provide excellent sport within
the next few years. Those that have been
seen this spring in tlr tributary streams
will drop back into the deeper waters of
West river itself as they attain weight.

Alien Enemies Receive Fair
Treatment.

The informed Germans at the station

and crews of the German merchant
vessels which were held in the United
States at the time Of the declaration
of war.
These aliens receive no funds from
the government except compensation
for labor actually performed. Those
engaged in construction work get $40
a month, with an additional SIS to
foremen. Interned officers have not
been permitted to receive from any
source more than $40 a month and
crewmen not more than IS. Receipts
in excess of these amounts are placed
to the credit of the aliens in banks.
