Deadly Parallel Shows Arrangement OF

Herald puts forth the following alibi:
- The order of the events did not ia

the outsider as though the entire set
of events was scheduled to- suit Capt.
Moran of the Brattleboro team. In
the l00-vard dash Loukes was set
back u yard by q false start. while
several others who made the same mis-
take started with the scratch. Even
with this handicap he was defeated
by Moran by only few inches, while
in the 220vard dash he outran Moran
by yards.

Home Guard Organized.

\ company Of young men met Tues
day evening i'll the schoolhouse for mil
itary drill As usual all present signed
an agreement to do home guard =
duty if such organizations are to he
called into service, which is probable
should the National Guard be taken out
of the state. Although no equipment
is available now, the organization Of
such companies is encouraged by the
state officials.
AS soon as the necessary equipment
is available for such organizations it is
hoped by the men that they may be of
service to the community as Home
Guardsmen.
The following officers We're elected by
the company: Captain, Perley Jones;
first lieutenant, Perley Potter; second
lieutenant, Frank Parkhurst; first ser
geant, Horace Howard; corporal, Roy
Potter. Most of the officers have ha6
some military training. The captain
served in Company X, 1st Infantry
! V. N. G., and was on the Mexican
| border last summer.
| Hereafter the drills viii be held Sat
urday evenings and the men from sur
rounding towns are invited to attend.

INEXPENSIVE MEAT SUBSTITUTE
Cottage Cheese Contains More Protein
at Less Cost

Cottage cheese is one of the impor-
tant meat substitutes, say specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture. 1t contains a larger per-
ccntage of protein (the chief material
for body building) than most meats and
furnishes this material at a lower cost.
II every pound of cottage cheese there
is about one-tifth of a pound of pro-
tein, nearly all of which is digestible.
Meats. on the other hand, usually CON
tain less protein and besides have a GER
tain waste. such as bone and other in
edible material. \ pound of cottage
cheese daily would supply all the pro
tein required by the ordinary adult en-
gagged in sedentary occupation.
The following table shows that cot
tage cheese is much cheaper than most
meats in furnishing protein for the diet.
For supplying protein, one pound of
cheese equals:

BURLINGTON, May 29-One new
case of smallpox was reported to D..
G. F. Dalton, secretary Of the Vernon
state board of health, Saturday even
ng, the ease being that of Eugene Root,
now in quarantine At East Berkshire.
There is no doubt but that Root has ex-
posed large number OF people in this
state as he rode by train from Rich
ford, where he has ben employed, to
East Berkshire ON the way to his home
in Montgomery, being discovered at
! East Berkshire by the station agent.
/ Root, young man OF about - years
of age, had been ill in Richford for sey-
cral days and Saturday started on the
way to his home. At East Berkshire. J.
II. Button, station agent, noticed that
he was Ill and that his face was broker
out. He called Dr. H. b. Hanson OF
East Berkshire, who diagnosed the cas-,
as smallpox, that diagnosis being con
tirmed by DR.. c. L. Johnson, health of
tcer of the town. Root was taken to al
isolated house, about two miles from the
village and IS in quarantine there. The
family IN whose home lie lived at Rich
ford has also been quarantined.

ga serious epidemic of scarlet fever
is raging here. Five or six new cases

SO true.
If the events We're arranged for the
benefit of Capt. Moran, as charged in
the alibi, it takes more than perusal
of the appended order of events, in
which the two Rutland stars, Loukes
and O'Brien, and the two Brattlcboro
boys who were their principal oppo-
nents were entered to prove it. While
consideration is being given to the
whole matter it should be remembered
that Capt Moran and Stearns scored
80 IL points between them, half a
point more than the entire Rutland
team was able to produce. As shown
in the following deadly parallel given
in the order that the events were
pulled off, Moran twice in the program
had two Immediately consecutive
events and four out of five successive
events. Loukes and o 'Brien each had
/ two events in succession once and in
+ each of these instances the events al
Iternated from track to field. 1t seems
tough that Moran should have been SC
favored. The deadly parallel;
