The Green Manufacturing company

Quoting a manufacturing business.

Because one of the ten young wom-
en- farmers at the Scott farm near
Brattleboro was asked by the woman
supervisor to give up her job, all the
rest agreed that they would go, too,
and the entire unit departed after
having done excellent work since May
1st. They came from the state agrl-
cultural college at Burlington as a
unit of the Woman's Land Army OF
America and occupied a cottage at
Naulahka, Rudyard Kipling's former
home. That and the Scott farm are
owned by Frederick Holbrook OF Bos-
ton and Brattleboro, widely known
contractor.
Mrs. Jerome Fuller of West Roch-
ester was shot and killed by her
Young son while on berrying trip,
the bow mistaking his mothers head
gear for a red fox. When Mrs. Full
er and her son, who is 13 years old,
started Deriving the boy was permit
ted to take his rifle as they planned to
90 to a rather wild country and the
boy had hopes of seeing some game.
While the woman was busy picking
berries the boy was tramping around
in the brush in search of something
alive to shoot at. He lost the loca-
ton of his mother and when ne saw
her hat in the bushes, he fired, the
bullet entering the woman's head and
killing her instantly.
Just how far-reaching the consoli-
dation of the Central Vermont and
Montpelier & Wells River that is to
take place and over which confer
ence occurred Thursday, is not yet de-
termined, but it is understood that it
will include sooner or later the engine
and car shops of the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad. A statement
relative to the consolidation was CIV
en- out Friday which was to the effect
that consolidation in some branches
was under consideration between the
Central Vermont and the Montpelier
& Wells River railroads but that be-
fore anything was settled in the mat
ter, that the companies will give the
public hearing when it will be CIV
en- chance to present objections If
there are any.
