Good Words for Charles A. Plunley.

The Firestone Non-Skid, periodical
published in Akron, o., has the following
appreciation Of Charles A. Plumley with
cut of him in its issue of last week:
1.-THE volume of work to be done in
connection with questions of taxation
has become so great that the legal de-
psrtment has secured the services of one
man, who will devote all his time to
these matters. Bernard ~ Robinson,
plant attorney, announced that Charles
A. Plumley, until recently commission
er Of taxes in the state OF Vermont, will
handle these details at Firestone. Mr..
Plumley is assistant to Mr.. Robinson.
Taxation is a subject as important
as il ia large. The Firestone Tire and
Rubber company is doing business in
practically every state in the union, and
is subject TO numeyous assessments in
all OF them. No two state laws on this

If the entente nations have any con
troll over their erstwhile ally, Rumania
they should take immediate steps to pre-.
vent Rumania from further despoiline
Hungary by not only living off the land
but by Selling supplies in Budapest and
shipping the supplies into Rumania. The
allies set mark for PREPARATIONS which
Hungary must make to her former en-,
emies, and it should be the moral obi.
cation of the allies to see to it that none
of Hungary's enemies 60 beyond that
mark. Report has it that Rumania, BY
sending an army into the capital of the
whipped nation of Hungary, has already
exceeded the bounds set by the allies and
is rapidly getting out of control of the
allies under the present arrangement. II
IS time that the allies were taking a
sharp, clear-cut stand in opposition te
Rumania's aggressions.

Summer Camps.

An editorial in the Barre Times re.
garding the conduct Of summer camps for
BOYS expresses some sentiments we have
had in mind for some time. We are firm
believers in such camps. We can con.
ceiye Of no Amer way for boys to spend
the summer than out In the open with
clean associations and decent discipline,
but the idea is seriously threatened by
careless conduct here and there
Recently at a pond in western Mas.
sachusetts two boats containing boys
from a summer camp were overturned
and IL boys lost their lives, recently two
boys lost their lives on the other side Of
Lake Champlain, we assume that when
the full returns are in the loss Of life
viii go far beyond that involved in the
two cases mentioned.
In the Massachusetts, drowning the fact
that carelessness existed seems to have
been definitely proven in that both the
boats were very much oyercrowded and
had no right to attempt passage with
so many occupants.
The net result Of the accidents Of the
present summer, we trust, will be a
tightening up Of the regulations of the
various camps and an insistence upon
better supervision It would be entire,
ly too bad If the idea gradually became
discredited by earelessness here and there
as result Of which parents would be
disindined to send their children TO
camps Burlington News.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Real vermonter in the Chair.

The expected has happened in the elee'
ton of Guy W. Bailey as acting presi-
dent of the University of Vermont. This
is an admirable selection and brings tc
the first educational center of the state
a man of mature years, an alumnus OF the
university, trained in public affairs, con.
versant with Vermont conditions, and
now entirely familiar with the needs
of the institution and its many lntri'
cate problems. A real Vermonter with
plenty of Vermont common sense is what
U. V. NJ. has needed for years. 1t looks
as though the necessity has been met

The town of Clarendon is in the same
fix in which any other Of the PAT cities
and towns of the state may find them
selves at any time, if, perehance, some
incident or accident occurs on the public
highway to injure person or damage
property. A city or a town with its
scores of miles of highways and its nu-
merous bridges and culverts ia constant
ly in danger of becoming the defendant
in a suit at law. In the present instance
Clarendon is declared by plaintiffs to
have been negligent in protection of
those who use the highways. That re-
mains to be proven in court. In the
meantime it would be good policy for
selectmen or the city officials of all
towns and cities in the state to 60 over

The people of Lyndonyille who hereto
fore have gained name for themselves
for public spirit and progressiyeness have
continued their claim to such reputation
by voting in special village meeting to
acquire through purchase a fve-acre plot
of ground to be used as a public play
ground for all the young people of that
community. 1t is to be presumed that
the action will be followed by equipping
the Fairgrounds with sufficient parapher-
MALTA to afford the boys and girls plenty
of opportunity for healthful amusement.
The requirement of this playground is
calculated to make for the betterment Of
the young people of Lyndonville and for
the improvement of civic life in general
because that which serves to develop the
upgrowing generation will most certainly
have tendency to make better citizen
ship. Lyndonville is to be commended
for its public spirit in this respect, as
well as in other particulars.

How to Rid the Skin
of Objectionable Hair
(Aids to Beauty

A simplifed method is here given for
the quick removal of hairy or fuzzy
growths and rarely is more than one
treatment required. Mix stiff paste
with some powdered delatone and water,
apply to hairy surface and after or 8
minutes rub off, wash the skin and every
hair has vanished. This simple treat
ment cannot cause injury, but care
should be exercised to get real delatone.

Jack Rabbit Poison

A. G. Thomas thinks that he has
found successful poison for the
speedy determination of rabbits, hav-
ing, tried out the same successfully
himself and this week he requested
US to pass IL on for the benefit of
those who cared to try it. To half
bushel of chopped watermelon rinds
he added quarter pound of Paris
Green and stirred until the same was
mixed thoroughly. This mixture was
spread along the outside of his fields
and resulted in big lot of dead" Jack
son" rabbits. The mixture is an easy
one to prepare and should be thor
oughly tried out by all. 1t will be
well to remember that there is an ele-
ment of danger to livestock in this
mixture and it should be carefully
spread where those parts not eaten
by the rabbits may be destroyed.

meeting called here Friday night to
Organize for the continuation Of the
fight against the Il. p. & 8. w. to
prevent its appropriation Of the wa.
tiers of the Ruidoso, hundreds of
town and country jewellers signed a
pledge in which they agreed to ire
sist by every legitimate means any
further diversion Of water out Of
the Hondo drainage system and to
support no candidate for the next
four years for any office who would
not bind himself to a similar pledge.
The mass meeting was addressed
by DIR. S. M. Johnson, who reviewed
the history Of the controversy be-
tween the Southwestern and the res
Eidents Of the Ruidoso section and
declared that Attorney Hawkins for
the railroad had been the chief OBJ
stacle to a settlement Of the contr,,-
versy on a basis which would pro
Itect the farming in the valley. Votes
OF thanks were extended TO DR.. John
son, Senator Tully, who was una

and other leaders in the fight. It
was agreed that the revocation of the
permit for the diversion Of the wa
ters, made by the department OF the

no reason for an abatement of the

and a permanent organization is to
be formed or the pledge signers.
