short time ago. and the assistant engi-
neer was suspended from duty. The
commissioners. behind closed doors, held
two hearings concerning the charges and
adjourned two other hearings. The rea-
son for the resignation advanced by
NJ. G. Leary. counsel for Mr.. Thomas.
was that the former assistant engineer
had accepted another position and could
not afford to be bothered by the long
drawn-out hearings. 1t is stated that an
opportunity to resign was given Mr..
Thomas on May II. and that he refused
to do so.
Mr.. Thomas refused to affirm or to
deny the statement that he had resigned.
saying his counsel would do the talking
for him. He intimated that he had not
had very square deal from the COM
missioners, saying that he had brought
witnesses to Burlington, only to have the
hearings adjourned and that he could not
afford the expense OF fighting the case.
Mr.. Leary made the statement which is
given in the opening paragraph.

The gratis labor that the banks have

FOR LEISURE HOURS.
St. Paurs Church Provides Rendeavoua
for SoldierA

If one may Judge from the pleasure
expressed by the many soldier boys from
Fort Ethan Allen who Thursday night at
tended the opening Of st. Pauls parish
house for their benefit, the rooms will be
one of their most popular rendezvous in
the city. There was nothing formal about
the opening. the rooms in the basement Of
the parish house had simply been ftted
up, or out, pretty much like club. There
were writing tables and materials. plenty
of up-to-date periodicals.. and a victrola
with plentiful supply OF good records.
The refreshments which were served
Thursday and the ladies who graced the
occasion by their presence were only for
the opening night. But it's a fine place
for the soldier boy, who is tired of the
movies. or who wants to read, write or
just lounge for an hour. or so. And just
whisper It: Five shower baths are being
installed and will probably be finished by
the end of next week. The rooms will be
open each afternoon and evening.

BOOSTS MILK PRICES.
n. e. NJ. p. Announces New Schedule
Beginning July 1.

The prices asked by the New England
Milk Producers association, beginning
July !, mean the payment by the dealers
of seven cents a quart for milk delivered
in Boston. The prices vary according to
distances from that CITY, as the new traf-
fic regulations provide different rate for
every 20 miles. The prices are net to
farmers at country stations and the rates
are fixed for different sized cans. the
larger the can the cheaper the rate per
quart, and bigger the price to the pro-
Queer. For example. milk shipped 100
miles in an So quart can nets the farmer
6247 cents per quart; in a 21A quart can
1t nets Sal cents per quart and in a 40
quart CAT cents.
Different price systems are used in
different sections and the association has
a complete schedule of prices for milk
shipped in any sized container no matter
what unit of purchase is used. Where
milk is bought by weight and test the
price set for butter fat in milk is 40 cents
a pound. Where premiums are paid for
excess fat over a certain test the associa-
ton demands that 3.5 per cent. shall be
the test above which premiums shall be
paid. instead Of 81 per cent. to four per
cent. as now In effect.

BETTER SEED SOLD.
Field Crop Seeds in state Never OF
Higher Quality.

Examination Of about 600 specimens Of
seed of field crops raised in Vermont,
which has been going on for several
weeks at the Williams Science hall, shows
a better quality of seed than in any year
since 1872 when the law took effect. At
the same time few dealers. notably a
Chicago firm, have been shipping into the
State seed filled with impurities and seed
Of weeds.
The work. which has been done by l..
Fl. Flint under the direction Of Prof. G. P.
Burns of the college Of agriculture Of the
State university, has covered the seeds Of
hay. grains. forage crops, cereals, etc.
Among the 800 packages Of seeds from
throughout the State are 200 sent In by
mail by dealers voluntarily. The latter,
as In other years, are poorer seed than
the specimens collected by the department
of botany itself.
The purity tests were finished last week,
and the termination tests will be done by
July 1. In cases where the seed has not
been satisfactory, says MIR. Flint, dealers
have not guaranteed their quality. Cocke-
weed seed, seed Of the Canadian and Rus
sian thistle and one or two others are the
sort the department has looked for. The
sale OF seed containing cockleweed seed
or ergot. which is a fungus formation, Is
| forbidden by law in this State.
There is hardly seed. the specimens of
which are not Of better quality than in
other years. Clovers, timothies. red Glow
ers, alfalfas. etc. are all represented by
excellent seed. The FIRST Seed that OBJ
tanned in 1912 following the passage of the
law. was awful. The county agents, who
have co-operated in obtaining the seeds
from the farmers themselves, have doubt
less helped in improving the character OF
the seed.
From five to q days are required for the
seed to terminate. according to kind. A
somewhat smaller number of specimens
than usual was collected because of the
cooperative buying and purchase in
greater bulk than in other years among
the farmers.
