his periods of repose in scolding the

here receive from home 8, $50 parcels and
money orders having total value of 2,24l
pounds.
The number of parcels thus received
has decreased nearly one-half from last
year. This was attributed by the post
master-general to greater dimculty in
obtaining materials to send from Ger
many. The value of postal orders sent
from Germany to Germans interned here
has increased since last year. in order to
enable them to buy more food In this
country.
To the British prisoners in Germany
5000 parcels are sent from the United
Kingdom each week, while the money
orders aggregate in value about 1900
pounds q week.
Nine hundred thousand parcels are sent
each week from the United Kingdom to

tile day demonstration in front Of the

police court to-day to serve sixty days
in the District Of Columbia workhouse
for obstructing the sidewalks.
The women were given the alterna-
tive Of paying S25 zines. but they
promptly refused the offer and were
taken to the workhouse at Occoquan,
Va. and turned over to a matron, who
saw that each got a shower bath and
exchanged her clothing for a heavy
one-pieoe prison dress. Tomorrow they
will be assigned to the sewing room
of the prison where they will work
seven hours daily.
Tonight the party's headquarters
here was in furry Of uncertainty
over the question whether the women
should be permitted to serve their SEN
fences without protest or whether
their cases should be appealed.
Although no one at the headquarters
would confirm 1t. there were indications
that the course Of the women's friends
might he determined finally by the atti-
tude Of Dudley Field Malone, collector
Of customs at New York, who came here
to testify for the women and later
asked the court to be permitted to
act as their counsel. The request was
granted, Police Judge Mullowney giving
him temporary authority to act as a
member Of the Washington bar, but in
stead Of taking any legal steps on be-
half Of the women Mr.. Malone went to
the White House for an hours confer
ence with President Wilson.
What happened at the conference was
not revealed. but Mr.. Malone came away
visibly -.perturbed and there were many
rumors that he had resigned his collec-
torship and would take up actively the
fight Of the suffragists. who repeatedly
have been in police court during recent
weeks for their demonstrations at Pres-
dent Wilson'S doorstep. These rumors
Mr.. Malone himself would neither deny
nor aifirm.

one trip, and 1t was in New Bedford that
most of the alleged improper relations
with various men took place. An ex-
Mayor Thompson Of New Bedford and .
John Vincent, who was elected to the
Massachusetts Legislature, were persons
whom Mrs. Deyette met and with whom
Deyettes attorneys tried to show her
relations were too familiar.

ton as to Deyette's attitude at the time
their first child died HE was very
obscene He would not tell me the truth"
While I was at the hospital he never
offered to bring me delicacies. He did not
give me money for my personal needs"
She said he called her vile names, that his
relations with their second child, the little
girl. Eugene, were not for the child's
good. etc. They had many disputes about
the care Of the child. she alleged. and
about the presence Of her mother in the
house. There was more trouble when she
insisted upon coming to town from their
camp at Malletts Bay to have a tooth
treated. On one occasion he called her a
"street-walker" and said he would put
her back on the streets where she had
been before.
Once she came home and found the door
locked She rang the bell. or tried to do
so. threw pebbles against his window, etc.,

Tale OUTPUT MUCH LARGER
Two Chief Concerns in State
Producing so per Cent. More.
in Absence Of English Clay and for
Other Purposes-some Figures
Of Late Years.

The tale industry In Vermont 10 BOOM
ing as never before. largely because Of
the demand for the mineral as q SUBJ
stitute for English clay in the manu-
facture Of paper. Within the past year or
so the output Of the Magnesia Tale COM
pany at Moretown and Of the Eastern
Tale company at Rochester. East Gran
willie and Cambridge has increased up
wards Of 50 per cent. The industry has
been growing for some time. but the de-
velopment and enlargement OF output dur
ing the past eight or ten months have
been greater than in most previous per-
iods Of the same length.
The two concerns mentioned have . big
advantage over their small rivals that
possess no railway connections. and the
latter have not developed 50 rapidly. The
large concerns cannot MI the demand
made upon them. In spite Of increases In
plant and facilities.
Besides the two leaders there are the
American Mineral company at johnson.
the Vermont Tale company at Windham
and the American Soapstone Finish COM
pany at Chester Depot. all Of which have
been active. New York State still excels

ago. regardless Of what the actual de-
posits Of the mineral In the two States
may be.
Prof. e. C. Jacobs OF the State univer-
sity. who has been investigating the talo
and serpentine deposits Of the State dur
ing the past few years. gives Vermont the
following record of output: 1911. q. tS8 short
tons; 1919. 24lS 1913. 46.647; 1914 bo,12S: 1915.
6l.s7. Even in these figures the effect of
the war seems to be evident. II It were
possible to give the precise data to date. q
large percentage would have to be added
to the record of 1915. The value of the out
put during these years was: 1911. $200.015

Professor Jacobs. there 10 much sharp
competition which results in a smaller
margin of profit than Is warranted by the

The lack Of labor has been chiefly re-
sponsible for the fact that . still larger

A TIME FOR ALL THINGS.
(From the Barton Monitor.)

The Monitor is in actual sympathy with
the principles which actuate the New
England Milk Producers association, but
does believe 1t would have been good policy
to have postponed the increase price de-
mands for milk about two months. The
association should be careful not to make
charges which its members are SO wont
to make against others. applicable to 1t.
self. The Monitor recently heard the
point of monopolistic tendencies we'll
drawn by one who deals with both far
mers and our great corporations. AL
fusion was made 20 the fact that there
were farmers during the past year who
had refused tremendously high prices for
potatoes when there was many a poor
town dweller who could not buy them, and
were at the same time cursng that the
price Of gasoline for their automobile was
up cent per gallon. "As for me-" said the
man speaking. II will take my chances
with John DIS dictatorship for all of the
A-per-bushel potato hoarder." This IL
not protest so much as 1t is a warning.

WHAT OUR NE|GHBoRS SAY
Neveda Not in the Same Glass a. YER
mont from a Military Point Of View.

(From the Vermont Phoenix.)
We will admit that these sneers about
Vermont not doing her part for the reg
ular army are beginning to get under our
skin. We read from time to time about
Nevada heading the honor list of the sis
terhood Of the States, while Vermont Is
in last place. No explanation is made. Ne
vada is exalted Vermont degraded. AS
a matter Of fact Nevada is not in the
high class with Vermont in the relative
number Of men furnished for service in
the war. 1t Is true that Vermont's con-
tribution to the regular army is small, but
the explanation is that our boys have not
gone into that branch Of the service. Me-
vada has no national guard, and all the
men she contributes to the war are ac-
credited to the regular army. Vermont is
sending over 1000 men into the war in her
national guard unit. She has furnished
hundreds more for the navy. In the past
four months over 500 men have presented
themselves at the naval recruiting sta
ton in Burlington alone and more than
so per cent, after examination, have been
accepted Vermonters have also gone in
large numbers into various other activi-
ties which are of real service.
More than 30 names Of Vermonters, kill
ed or wounded in action. who are fighting
with the Canadian contingent, have been
published within the past year. The State
does not get credit for these brave lads
who in an adventurous spirit crossed
the border and went with a neighbor ma
ton when the Prussian monster struck
blows at our English and French cousins
long before our own country entered the
war.
We don't know what Nevada has done
in the way Of boys who are driving NUM-
lions wagons right up to the trenches and
who are bringing away the wounded in
motor driven ambulances, but we doubt
whether the mountainous State of big
area has anything on Brattleboro alone,
which has eight Of it's sons in this kind
of dangerous work for the good Of the
cause Of democracy at the present time.
With the true and complete story OF
what the different States did in the great
conflict Vermont will have no cause to
blush. But 1t hurts now to be held up be.
fore the world in a false and misleading
light.
