BOSTON, Feb. 23.---The Bubonic

The reports Of the missionaries ex-

country when the appearance of this
deadly pestilence was first reported
in dispatches to the Associated Press
in December. Unchecked in north
China, it would prove. in the opinion Of
the board, more devastating than fam

THE KAISER

Men all agree whose proud head
Now rests the blame for countless dead,
Tis known who caused this bitter strife
That tears and rends the world of life,
And in his heart this craven beast.
Who loves and lauds this devils feast
Shall suffer death thousand fold
Before his carcass turns to mold.
And in the Silly hours of night,
While victims crowd before his sight
With bloody brows and nerveess hands
When by his couch starvation stands,
And little children crushed and MANNED
A mothers face with tears all stained;
When every waking moment brings
Anew the pangs and bitter stings
Then has his sins come home at last,
Then shall he suffer for his past.
His proud ambition turns to dust
Worthless proves his sword and lust,
And on his craven breast shall rest
A load of sin to be his guest;
And when his earthly days are DER,
When breath is gone and comes more,
He'll sink into his lowly grave,
Unwept, unhonored, sinful knave.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
A Suggestion About Wood Cutting.

Editor, Times; There has been a lot
OF hooting done this winter in regard to
cutting wood. Cut cord, cut wood
doesn't seem TO bring results Now il
is time that there was something done
to remedy this. as there is not a. much
wood eut ut the present time as there
was q year ago, and folks are through
cutting
Now | think if there were some hard
headed farmers sandwiched in with those
gentlemen committees. we should have
better success in regard to the fuel and
food proposition. These gentlemen com
mittees take about the same attitude
toward the farmers as the southern gen
tlemen did toward their slaves, and il
doesn't work ont well as a cooperation.
Now / would suggest that the boards
OF trade of Barre and Montpelier and
the labor unions and the farm bureau
get together and devise some means
whereby we can get some wood out. II
Is mp to the laboring class TO do that, a
they are the ones to be benefited by
doing so, and | assure you that Wash
ington county farm bureau will do all IL
can To help these people TO help them
selves. II this strikes YOU favorably.
please let VI know

Much Nonsense in ventilations Name.

This community wastes thousands OF
tons of coal in the name of ventilation
The opened window will air out cham
Der which is no longer occupied just as
in as many hours. We should also re.
member that our heating plants are
chains in which the weakening of one
link reduces the strength of every other.
In steam heated establishments one wide
open room will react on the furnaces
below, requiring more coal, or else low
ering the temperature of the rest of the
area under the same heating system
The letters which we have printed in
our mail bag from intelligent observers,
scientists, travellers and others, ought to
convince US that this is no time for cold
air boxes with outside opening unless,
perchance. our aim be to heat up Fall
outdoors The air in the cellar ought
TO make the journey round the house,
back and forth, Just as does the water
in our steam pipes. From them we get
no ventilation. We have to depend on
what leaks in around windows and doors,
or on what we voluntarily admit Why
not do the same thing with the furnace
heated houseI
The trouble is that we do not, as a
rule, know whether room is ventil
ated, and tina. we jump to the conclu
sion that room is "stufry" and needs
fresh air when we happen to be too
warm. We see this in all public places
The woman who comes in with fur
coat finds the air bad and wants some
thing opened at once. The street urchin,
without overcoat. and with wet feet, pre-.
fers everything as near closed as he can
get it. He perceives no lack of ventia-
ton, and his senses are keen Nor has
the rcoated person any testing device
at hand to disprove the boys confidence.
Our architects and scientists have told
us in the Mail Bag from time to time of
the follies of our present system of heat
ing schoolhouses, in compliance with un-
made statutes. All along the
line we have allowed our laws and prac-
tees to grow out of fancied search for
when we have no popularity

In practice we throw away heat when |

ANOTHER WARNING TO SAVE
FUEL.

One of the largest manufacturing con
Germs in the state, that of the Jones &
Lamson company at Springfield, was
compelled to suspend part of its opera
tions last Saturday because of lack of
fuel. Do we Vermont people need to
conserve our fuel? The answer is oh.
vious when we consider the spectre of
stagnation in business staring us in the
face Heretofore we have been only
mildly interested in all this talk about
saving coal, cutting wood, shutting down
of industries, etc, because Vermont was
not down to the bottom of the coalbin
and was not unduly alarmed But now
that our industries have actually begun
to suspend because of complete lack of
coal we are beginning to take personal
cognizance of the critical situation just
ahead of us We must save coal and we
must cut wood.
