Fishing in Broadway

Broadway between Herald square
and Longacre square has new
amusement. In almost every block
groups of persons, mostly men with
lime on their hands, may be seen
surrounding couple or more of ur-
chins, lying fiat on their stomachs-
ishing.
It's a fact. The fishing, however,
is not for fish, but for money. Since
the subway was constructed in
Broadway coins of all denominations
have been lost through the Agratings
that cover the ventilators on the
edge of the sidewalks. The ir1epres-
siblc New York small boy was quick
to grasp the opportunity, and every
day in couples and squads he march
es up and down, vigorously chewing
gum and peering through the graf
ings for treasure trove.
When q coin or other article is
located the boys throw themselves
Hats on the grating and set to- work
This is their modus operandi:-

Farmers Organize Dairy Company

Farm-bureau leaders, and the
county agent who merely furnished
information as to how to organize a
company on strictly cooperative ba-
SIS, saved the farmers of Middleburv
from heavy loss. A milk company
through which dairymen had been
shipping their milk, went into bank
ruptcy. The milk plant was to close
IN few weeks, leaving the dairymen
without means of disposing of THEN
product. The dairymen's claims
against the company were covered by
a bond for $4,000. The farm bureau
president, who was a patron of the
milk plant, after comforting with the
county agent, called a meeting of the
executive committee. AS a result Of
this meeting a committee was APP
pointed to attemp t to interest the
farmers in purchasing the plant. A
creamery equipment expert was Sc
cured from the office of the State De-
paftment of Agriculture to appraise
the value of the plant Later, meet
'hS u eiiS pdtIOllS Was cd1lea ana II
was decided to organize a cooperative
dairy company and purchase the mill
plant. The cooperative company as
sumed the claims of the farmers anc
issued stock to cover the cost The
quick action which was possible be
cause of the county farm bureau or
ganization thus saved the farmer
considerable loss.

Mr.. Davis. entered the drug busi-

Cook for about two years. Mr.
Cooks health failed him and he was
obliged to go to warmer climate
and sold his interest to A. ]. Living
ston, one of. the present members Of

up to the present time as the DAYS
and Livingston Druggists. For nearly
20 years the firm have been located
at the same stand and have seen their
business increase from year to year.
Mr.. Davis has been very popular
with the trade and has held several
town officers, having been village
treasurer for Is years, and his as
sociates will be sorry to have him
leave the business.
Urban Livingston, his successor, is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Living

of age, and a popular young man. He
graduated from the N. H. S., in 1914
and entered the Massachusetts Col
ege of Pharmacy, receiving the first
degree P H. G., in 1916. He received
his second degree, P H. c., in 1917,

IN Newport and wish the new firm the
best of success

PRESS COMMENT
A BETTER VERMONT

There are many good reasons why
the Vermont Legislature should rati-
fly the proposed prohibitory constitu-
tiolal amendment promptly. But the
one fundamental reason for national
prohibition of the beverage liquor
traffic should never be lost sight of
All Others are of merely secondary
importance when compared with this
We need national prohibition in
order taht we may have better Yer
mont than we can have without it.
And for the same reason every State
in the Union needs it. Every restric-
ton ofthe traffic however small, even
keeping the saloon off of the street,
on which one lives, tends to make
conditions better But every restric-
ton, whether by ward, township
county or state, that does not elimin-
ate it from the Nation falls short
of the goal. Such minor restrictions
are palliatives, not o cure,
The beverage liquor traffic exists
Tor one purpose and one only, tc
make money. The nature of the traf-
fic IS such, that for the most part the
men who engage in it will not be
troubled by conscientious scruples as
to the methods employed When men
without scruples set out to make
money, the result will not be doubt
full. The history Of the licquor traf-
fic is one long, disgraceful trail OF
political corruption, graft lawless-
ness and fraud. 1t besmirches, defiles
and dcgrades every man who has any
thing to do with it.
If we shut it out of our town, it en-
trenches itself in some neighboring
town, and works INCREASINGLY to break
through our dcfenccs. We shut it
out of our State, and by hook Oh
crook it sneals across our borders,
and then taunts US saying that PRO
hibition doesn't prohibit. 1t pirates
OF the tyranny of fanatical minorities,
and then when after q fair fight il
finds itself III minority, it seeks in
every possible way to defeat the will
of the majority.
SO long as there are saloons in my
State, just SO long Vermont will ,uf-
fer to some extent through their evil
influence. When one member suffers
all the members suffer with it. This
has been strikingly proved in multi
tude. of ways recently. If the coal
miners of Pennsylvania are spending
their time in the saloons instead OF
digging coal we cannot. keep warm. r
If New York City sends Represen-
tatlves to Congress who represent the
moral ideals of the New York liduoi
saloons, we in Vermont suffer from
the resulting lower g1ade of legisla-
ton enacted. If Chicago is governed
by saloon keepers, a President of the
United States may be elected who will
reflect their sentiments. Vermont
cannot reach her highest possible de-
velopment as long as the liou N
saloon exerts its pernicious infiuenc &C

which we are constituent part

tin


Why left we your terrible Russia,
The land of the knout and the sword?
Why fed yc from Gelmany's
clutchesA
From Turkey, the dread and abb
horred?
Fear lay in the hearts of your
daughters,
And we and your sons were afraid
OF the monsters who called them-
selves masters
The bFutes ye obeyed!
Ye know why yc crossed the gray
Your fathers could tell ye as well !;
Your hands were outstretched as to
Heaven.
Your back they were turned as on
hell!
America called ye, as ever
She calls to the children of men,
To come frdm the lands of oppres-
sion
And be happy again.
So We came@ and yc took what she
offered,
And now xe are. men in a land
Where the poorest will find, if he's
worthy,
A friendly sandi welcoming hand
Where the humblest may rise to be
honored .
Where worth is what counts, and
name q lh4g
Unknown may be craven tomorrow
On the Tablets of Fame.
There is only one country, my broth
ers, Y
America, splendid and free;
There is only one Flag-'tis the SYM
Of freedott for you and for me-
The Stars and the Stripes! God pro-
tect it,
And make us, wherever we go,
Devoted as those who upheld it
In theEsface of foe!
