pired hf came to Salisbury Vermont

the death of his wife about years
ago he boarded for a time with his
sister, Mrs. Bacon of Brandon, but,
his health failing, and old age COM
ing on, he decided to come to the
soldiers home. This he did about 5
years ago. His genial happy disposi-
tion soon made for him many friends
not only among the old comrades, but
outside the home.
His remains were taken to Brandon
where a short funeral service was
held at the home of his sister, Mrs.
S. o. Bacon, where kind friends had
flowers beautifully arranged and in
profusion ready to place on his
casket. The remains were then TAX

GERMAN FOOD DIFFICULTIES
Controller at Berlin Gives Warning
of Increased Trouble.


A circular has been issued at Ber-
lin by Adolph r. Won Batocki. presi-
dent of the German food regulation
board, to the federated governments
in which IL is pointed out that next
year there will be difficulties in the
way of the governments supplying
food for the people. Even the end
of the war. says Herr Won Batocki,
would only bring a slight change in
the situation at first. because the
scarcity of food is worldwide.
Owing to a shortage in laborers,
worw animals. foodstuffs. fertilizers
and transportation facilities, cities
and Industrial communities will be
compelled to keep careful watch ov-
er the food problem. The system of
fixing maximum prices and pre-empt.
ing commodities for public consump-
ton, says Herr Won Batocki. has only
worked well as regards grain. 1t has
proved failure with perishable COM
modities. and hence he advises muni-
cipalities to proceed on larger basis
than previously in their placing of
contracts with producers for the fu-
ture delivery of meat vegetables,
milk, butter and cheese.

BURNING OF DOWNER'S
Historic Hosiery in Weathersfield
Destroyed by Fire Sunday.

The historic landmark known as
"Downers Hotel" was destroyed by
fire between and o'clock Sunday
morning. It was situated near the
village of Amsden in Weathersheld.
The Inn was built in 1880 BY Sam
uel Downer and dedicated as Down
er's hotel by an opening ball in the
fall of that year. In 1S43 his son
Roswell Wowner. acquired the prop
erty and for 81 years he was the pop
ular landlord and owner of the re-
sort. He died in 1900, and his only
son, Frederick Downer inherited the
hotel and Charles Parker. now of
Windsor, was the manager. A few
years ago it was sold to a Mr.. Dut-
ton. People from Massachusetts
bought it recently of Mr.. Dutton and
were occupying IT,
Many native Vermonters now living
far from the Green mountains, among
whom are governors, senators and
successful business men, will recall
with pleasure the sleighing parties in
their youthful days which used 10
meet at Downers for ball and were
attended by young and old within a
radius of % miles. The travelling pub
lie, as well as the city people were al
ways sure to find a cordial welcome
and tables laden with choice viands
awaiting their arrival at Downer's.
Many persons scattered all over the
United States will learn with sincere
regret of the total destruction of this
once popular resort.

Deputy Sheriff Frank A. Hayden OF
Ludlow, with an axe, has been par
doned by Gov. Charles w. Gates and
he joined his wife and child yesterday
afternoon. He had been at the insti'
tuition since November, 1908. No
reason for the pardon other than that
the man has been a prisoner of the
most model character and that the
governor considered that the ends OF
justice had been met.
The crime which sent Vallenti TO
Windsor was considered most bru-
tai one and his trial when he was con-
victed by jury of murder in the sec
ond degree attracted great deal of
attention because Of the popularity Of
his victim.
When he met his death Deputy
Hayden, went to Vallenti to serve a
civil paper and the Italian, who was
chopping wood at the time, turned up
on him with the axe. Vallenti is a
gaint in stature and is now 33 years

dress and his eccentricities were fire.
quently the subject of newspaper arti-
cles. Although quite large and portly
man. his clothes always seemed to be
two or three sizes too large for him
and of the cheapest material. He al
ways during both summer and winter
wore large cloth cap pulled close
down on his head and altogether look
ed anything but the brilliant jurist
and diplomat. One day, after reading

his dress, he remarked to a friend,
