PRESS COMMENT

bennington Banner)
President Wilson's welcome in the
west is precisely what should be ac-
corded the president Of the United
States appealing to the public on a
great issue. Whether he will be able
to turn the tide that has been setting
strongly against the League of Ma
lions will be demonstrated later by
the pressure on the United States
Senate. Most things work by indirec-
ton in this world.

has attended II of the 73 fairs which
have been held by the Addison Coun-
ty Fair Association, and he remarked
while attending the 1919 fair that he
intended to attend at least three
more so that he could round out rs
fairs. We should think that Melzar
Walker, aged 88, of Whiting, would
be one of the star attractions of the
fair in and of himself. 1t is safe to
say that no other person in Vermont
has had such a record of fair attend
ance as he claims.

TRIED POISON HIM
w. w. Cooper of Copeland, Ida,
Makes Startling Claims in
Letter to Attorney General
Black.

The startling claim that clique OF
neighbors are planning to kill him and
his family is made by w. T.. Cooper of
Copeland, Ida, in a letter to Attorney
General Roy L. Black.
Cooper declares that on Oct. is he
bought some potatoes which had been
poisoned by a woman with intent to
do harm to himself and family. He fed
the Feelings to the family hog, and
within Is minutes the animal was dead,
according to his letter. He said that
he removed the hogs stomach at the
request of the sheriff, and that tests
made upon it by a druggist and him
self showed it full of poison.
Attorney General Black explained in
his reply that the case was not within
the scope of his office.
II do not assume that the county
officials have refused to act but that
they are waiting to gather further evil
dence," he replied. You will under
stand that the mere fact that the po-
tatoes were poisoned would not be suf-
ficient to sustain criminal complaint
against the person who sold them, un-
less you could show the additional fact
that he knowingly put poison in the
potatoes"

GOATS.TO Be USED
IN PREVENTING
FOREST FIRES

LOS ANGELES, April 1.-Goats
are to be given a thorough trial
by the government as forest fire
~preventers, according to announce
ment by r. H. Charlton, supervisor
of the Angeles national forest.
Four hundred goats are to be turn
ed loose along the fire breaks in
the San Bernardino mountains this
summer.
The owner of the goats, w. H.
Moore of Tucson, Ariz., will be
allowed to Craze the goats for a
nominal sum. They are to be
tried out between Cajon Pass and
Oak Glenn and if the supply of
weeds and grasses proves insuffi-
cient for the goat appetite the herd
will be given a wider opportunity.
There is no young timber in the
section in which the goats will be
allowed to Craze, said Mr.. Charl-
ton, and consequently it is felt that
they can do no harm. IL by keep
ing the fire breaks clean of the
underground that frequently caus-
es fires they prevent a single blaze
in the dry season the experiment
will have been fully justified in
his opinion.
Mr.. Charlton three years ago in
troduced some goats into the re-
serve, but they were not herded,
he said, and wandered away one
by one. One by m they met
death until practically all are
gone. The 1919 herd is to be
carefully guarded.
