Somebody GOT little joker into a
legislative act in the session of the
legislature of 1915 to the effect that
when names were posted in saloons a
fee should be paid to the secretary of
the license boards. AS the blacklists
were displayed in each licensed place,
and the secretary collected q fee on
each posting. the result became rather
surprising. Mr.. Barber, secretary of the
board in Burlington, tucked away
-. 400.10 in - months. and Mr..
Q 'Brien, secretary in Rutland, crowded
~. l09.20 into his jeans in the same
period. The state was able to squeeze
out j,7SS.6l from the II towns and
cities which granted licenses, and in
the same time the license commission
crs and their assistants drew down $l5,-

The story that Germany is con.

OF Switzerland may be dismissed as in

tjon Germany could hardly be without

would Doe indisPosed to hang another

long French border over which the
German armies are free to cross - il
they can-the mfamy of desolating in

Gold in Vermont.

In supplementary reader for the

know - what opportunities the state
can offer its ambitious sons and daugh-
tiers, the author, Walter II. Crockett,
says that gold mining has been at
tempted at various times in the towns
Of Bridgewater, Plymouth and Reads
boro. This statement was much dis
cussed by the people of New England.
The Hartford Courant, however, offers
rs proof the experience of Abel Stay
ton of Stowe, Vt, who washed out gold
valued at $500 on his own farm and had
1t made into watch chain and other
iewelrv for himself and members of
his family. The Courant adds that this
experience might be duplicated by
am well to do man with some know
ledge OF geology and abundant lei
sure. But even at that gold mining
would not seem to offer much of an op-
portunity in the Green Mountain state
