The attempt to rob the First National
Bank of Brandon--an attempt which,
happily, failed because of the resistance
offered by the safe to the drills of the
robbers-should set all people on guard
because it is evident that the profession
al safe robbers have begun their spring
work unusually early. Every spring the
criminals by profession, who have been
hiving up in winter quarters in the large
cities, fare forth into the less populated
districts and start a summer OF crime
which sometimes is lucrative and which
always furnishes the excitement that
some minds crave. From early spring
till winter drives them into the city I'M
der world these safe crackers fit about
the country districts of New England,
usually attacking the postofice safes
but sometimes varying the program with
a foray against bank or store. The
preparations made in the daring attempt
in the village of Brandon seem to indi
cate that it was the work OF profession
ais, despite the failure of their effort.
The professional crooks are feeling the
pinch OF the high cost OF living and are
forced to begin their depredations earlier
than usual.

CURRENT COMMENT
Smuggler's Notch Road.

House bill No. "a, calls for an appro-
priation not to exceed $4,000 for the
purpose of constructing a state highway
through Smuggler's Notch. This notch
lies in the towns of Stowe and Cam
bridge just north of Mt. Mansfield. The
first thought of one unacquainted with the
situation would be, this is an attempt 10
have the state of Vermont help out two
towns in the construction of highways.
Such conclusion would not be correct.
The situation is this. One of the
finest pieces OF natural scenery OF this
country lies here in an unsettled por-
tion of the townships of Stowe and Cam
bridge. A highway 10 il has been main.

The desire now Is to construct a high
way suitable for automobiles. not for
the residents of the two towns. but for
tourists and sightseers from all parts of
the country. This wonderful piece of
scenery Is not an asset of these towns,
but to the whole state Nothing else
in Vermont Is equal to it in grandeur
and impressiveness. No other spot would
draw the public equal to this if Il could
be approached in comfort aud safety.

REMEMBER THE CAUCUS, YOU
BARRE MEM


Lest the official call may have been
overlooked The Times desires to call at.
| tention to the citizens caucus which will
be held in Barre tomorrow evening Tor
the purpose OF making municipal nom
nations for the ensuing year. Mayor
Robert Gordon having declined to stand
| for another term in the office, it becomes
necessary to look elsewhere for mayoral-
| ty material. There are before the voters
at the present time three avowed candi-
dates for the mayoralty nomination, two
OF them being present members OF the
board of aldermen aud the third being a
man who in many years OF residence in
Barre has become more or less CONVEX
SAINT with the affairs OF the municipality.
1t is scarcely likely that any other names
win be presented to the caucus, so the
voters OF Barre, If they already have not
done SO. may as well make up their
minds to choice among those three
Alderman f. A. Glysson, Alderman o. d.
Shurtleff or Fred w. Suitor The rec.
ords OF all three in public or quasi-public
affairs have been before the citizens OF
Barre for so long a time that it should
be possible for the voters to make up
their minds which one they desire TO
support for the mayoralty. In addition,
there will be the necessity OF nominating
II other candidates for various offices,
including that of assessor for term OF
three years. Can you afford to let this
thing go by default? Can you afford to
let someone else act for you and without
instructions? Certainly not. Therefore,
attend the caucus at the opera house
Thursday evening Feb. Is. On the fol |
lowing evening, too, attend the caucuses
which will be held in three of the six
wards. namely. wards /, 3 and 5. In
those three wards candidates for alder |
men are to be named and in two OF the |
wards candidates for school commission
ers are to be selected. Hence, the ward I

Those 100000 German soldiers massed
on the Holland frontier make an inter
esting commentary on what the United
States escapes by being 1000 miles from
the scene of conflict and with water all
the way between. The United States is
much nearer to declaration Of war with
Germany than is Holland; and vet the
Prussian war lords consider it necessary
to maintain force larger than the whole
standing army of the United States on
the frontier of Holland to awe the Dutch
into continued neutrality as well as to

assembly of the state Of Vermont
Section !. A county may, in accord

A Rutland man sojourning in Florida
writes that "the only way to keep warm
is to stay in bed"-meaning in Florida
and not in Vermont. So there is some
kindred feeling between Vermont and
Florida at this season Of the year. The
news from Florida is particularly discon
certing, as it states that the orange crop
in some quarters of the state was Sc
riously menaeed by the cold, it being nee
essary to keep orchard fires burning to
ward off the frost.

The hand. mouth existence of the
great cities Of the United States is hint.
ed at by the statement that were New
York City, for instance, TO be shut of
absolutely from food Importation, both
by land and by sea, the city would ex-
haust its supply at the end of As hours.
Because of the vast number OF persons
to be fed and because of the physical i'm
possibility of storing huge quantities of
food New York City would begin to
starve at the end OF two days The prob
lem of caring for the 100000 people in
that city should a powerful enemy get
the upper hand of the United States
would be appalling. So it would be in
lesser degree in any one of many scores
of large cities which might be named
The country districts need not be de-
pressed by the possibility, for they are
not so absolutely dependent as are the
cities; their stores carry enough goods
to carry them along for much longer
time and oftentimes a vilager is his own
storekeeper, raising his products and
marketing them to himself.

of quality, action, and especially sub
stance, TO sell well. Drafters weigh
from 1900 pounds up-the bigger the

ers.
"Good horses of these three classes
have been selling at prices ranging from
sl75 each for light wagon horses to $3.50
each for the heavy drafters during the
last year. Contrary to the general opin.
ion, stockyard records show that there
has been gradual increase in the selling
value of these three classes in the last
ten years.

About the only redeeming feature in
connection with the destruction of the
new school building in the village OF
Huntington was that the fire occurred in
the evening when the building was not
occupied by the children. Had the fire
broken out in the daytime when school
was in session, there might have been
serious consequences in loss Of life or in
jury to some of the little occupants.
