Harley E. Pike of Waterford has
bought of H. F. Johnson the brick
house in McIndoes, formerly owned
by the late Philo B. Van Dyke, and
the large farm of several hundred
acres adjoining the Connecticut river.
The purchase price paid was $4,000
and it is one of the largest real estate
transactions in that section. The
property was sold by Mrs. Van Dyke
to H. F. johnson of the Stuart Auto
Sales Co., in the spring for $4,000
The property was formerly known as
the Monteith farm. The purchase
of this extensive property has led to
all sorts of conjectures as to what
the new owner purposes to do though
it is assumed that the Connecticut
Valley Lumber Co., who own the dam
and water power above the Monteith
farm, are friendly to this sale.

Gov. Clement on Fire Prevention

There is no surplus material or
money that can be spared to restore
property needlessly DESTROYED by fire.
No one can afford to be careless in
the matter of fire prevention. The
destruction of property at this time
will cause undue suffering to inno-
cent persons
THE great majority of our people
desire to conserve and protect prop
erty from unnecessary loss. Those
persons whose work and influence are
exerted along these lines are of the
greatest public assistance. 1t is the
intention of this state to protect pri-
vate property to the full extent of its
Pewer. The example of law-abiding
citizens is a great asset in SOLDERING
and steadying the present disturbed
conditions.n

Dillingham; Better Watch Out.
springfield Reporter)


Senator Dillingham; better look af-
ter his political fences a little or he
may find his senatorial field invaded
by Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford,
in whom he would encounter a more
formidable rival and one harder to
GUST than his erstwhile opponent, G.
A Prouty. Mr.. Dillingham; might
take a hint, too, from Senator Lodge,
who has succeeded in having Hiram
Johnson recalled from trailing Presi-
dent Wilson in rebuttal of the latter's
League of Nations tour of the coun-
try, for fear Hiram was taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to promote
his own presidential boom. Rather
than run the risk of landing Johnson
prefer to let President Wilson have
his way about the League of Nations,
in which position Lodge is register
approval of the ambitious Californi-
an. Senator Dillingham; can likewise
view with no little alarm the numer-
Gus speaking engagements through
out the state made recently by that
silver-tongued orator, Judge Stafford,
who came, saw, and captured Spring
field few days ago without firing a
single political shot. He certainly has
a way with him, worthy the attention
of even such postmaster in the art
of winning friends as Mason S. Stone
and to Judge Stafford's Modern Rid
die of the Sphynx," delivered in so
many Vermont communities, Dilling-
ham could easily imagine another in
depreciation than the labor question.

PRESSCLIPPINGS
Prouty Case an Unusual One.

Barre Times)
It is a rather unusual situation
brought out by verdicts in suits eman-
SION between a Grand Trunk railroad
train and the automobile of ex-Gov::
Geo. H. Prouty when the estate OF
the former governor failed to get
damages for the death of the head OF
the household or for the destruction
of the automobile, while Mr.. Prouty's
employee, the man who was driving
the car when the collision took place,
was awarded damages of $14,6OO for
injuries received at that time. Inc
earning capacity of the one was en-
tirely cut off and yet his family got
nothing and the earning capacity OF
the other was only partially impaired
and still he gets damages of good
size. The verdicts are so widely dIf-
fering that they will no doubt cause
great surprise. The end of the It'll
CATION is probably far off.

QUADRUPlE TREATY
IDEA D|SAPPROVED
BY FRED FERGUSON


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS. March 2S.-Whether the
first treaty will be with Germany and
Austria or all four of the enemy pow
ers will probably depend upon devel-
opments in the ''big four conferences
1t is learned today. The French have
added their disapproval to that of the
British to the quadruple treaty idea.
Both the French and British say it
might be possible to include Austria in
the first treaty without losing time
but that the inclusion of Bulgaria and
Turkey would mean additional delay.

touch with the peace conference be-

publicans, is practically complete. Of
ficials however, claim they have no
advice as to just how the covenant
has been amended or as to how many
or the various suggestions made by
critics of tho original covenant are
embodied in the new draft.
White House officials are inclined
to doubt Paris dispatches stating that
the Monroe doctrine amendment has
been Temporarily side tracked.
Delay in presenting the Monroe
doctrine amendment is understood to
have been due to Information that
other nations would take the oppor-
lunity to draw up clauses covering

FEELER ON OWNERSHIP
QUESTION LAUNCHED
BY ROBERT BENDER.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent, 1,
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The
government has launched its "feeler"
to the country on the question of pri-
vate ownership with limited federal
supervision of major utilities. Chair
man Hurley's recommendations in
New York last night along this line,
as applied to the war born merchant
marine. is regarded today as a move
to sound public opinion. He believes
the merchant marine built up by the
government should be turned over to
private concerns at prices determined
by the world tonnage market, with
part payment deferred. and with half
the ships earnings in excess OF six per
cent to go into a public fund.
In connection with Hurley's plan
strong sentiment developed both with
in and outside of congress recently
for handling the railroads as private
under moderate federal
supervisions.
