This creamery is located in q small
mountainous town in one of the most
beautiful sections Of the state and its
average annual outTa1 IS about 10000
pounds of butter Miss lIaloncn docs

err. from taking II the cream from the
farmers wagon TO the weighing, the
sampling, testing, ripening and churn-
ing the cream, packing and printing
the butter and sending ii to the market
and scrubbing the floors.
According TO a statement recently
made by MAIDS Sondegaard of the fed
eral dairy division and he ought to
know, because he has perhaps seen more
crcameries al over this country and
Denmark than any other man, Miss
Halonen has the cleanest creamery in
the country His statemcntis substan-
made visit to the place and when re-
turning one gentleman very aptly ex
pressed, that woman actually has
cleanliness beat :, fer although she did
! not know we were coming, the floor III
! the boiler room was so clean and free
| from dust that a fellow would not sol
! a white handkerchief if he should try
/ 10 use it for wiping the floor. Everyone
else who has been fortunate enough t.
see the creamery will say the sans
thing. Miss Halonen herself, of course
is clean also. She wears white caps anC
aprons, blue boomers, and rubber boott
when working, and as one gentleman
expressed recently, she does work which
many a man would call hard and diff
cult
It is interesting, TO say the least, t
visit the Wardsboro creamery. In on
iooni Miss Halonen has combined re
ceiving room, testing room, engin

Conauers Rheumatism
In a Very Few DAYS

1t is an established fact that small
dose of Rheuma taken once day has
driven the pain and agony from thou
sands of racked, crippled and despair
ing rheumatics during the last seven
years.
Powerful and sure; quick acting, yet
harmless and inexpensive, Rheulna gives
blessed relief almost at once The
magic name has reached nearly every
hamlet in the land and there is hardly a
druggist anywhere who cannot tell you
of almost marvellous cures.
If you are tortured with rheumatism
or sciatica, you can get Rheuma from
w. +. Root, or any druggist, with the
understanding that if it does not com
pletely drive rheumatic poisons from
your system-money back.-Adv.

" TRAIN SERVICE
 EFFICIENT BRANCH
Transportation Secretaries Did
 Good Work During War

New York, Nov. 4.-Nine million three hundred twenty thousand miles, q distance equal to 373 times around the earth is the distance travelled by troop train secretaries of the Army Y. M. C. A.. according to figures through October 15, issued by the II oop train department in a report made public here. The number of men served tOtaled 4,735,509 and were carried on 9,321 trains. These figures represent a double service, the first to recruits enrOute to camp, and the second to men returning from Europe and who were being sent to demobiliZation camps.
 Since the armistice, this bureau has sent secretaries on 1865 trains, haul ing a total of 2,3S9,403 men. In the performance of this work the 'Y' hade165 men who travelled constant lv. as well as 45 others called on in cases of emergency. However, none of the above figures cover the num- her of "Y" secretaries who were sent with soldiers from camps to the port Of embarkation on their way OVer- seas.
 Beginning in November, 1918, when there were but three trains and a total of 1,50O men moved, the num- Der swelled rapidly. In Janutary there were 206 trains carrying 113g- 300 men, and in February the num- Der was 343 trains with 1SS,650 men. Tn March the number of trains 1eaped to GIG, with 33S, 800 men abroad. The high water mark of the entire home ward movement was in July, when S77 trains moved with 438,50O men aboard. 'The average mileage of each trip was slightly under 1000 miles per trip.
 Since the armistice, the troop train secretaries have handled a big amount Of supplies of one sort or another, all of which has been given away. For instance, a package of gum, a bar ot chocolate, daily papers, postcards, writing materials, etc., were given out ton of the trains, too, magazines not of current date--and checker and domino games were part of the secretary's equipment.
 The gum, for instance, reached the huge total of 7S tons for the 2,389,- 043 men accompanied on trains since the armiStice, while the chocolate given away reached the sum of 99 tons for these men.
 In addition to the trains proper, service was rendered to men who comprised units moving by highway from various camps to New York for parades, and from New York to Washington for parades there.

SAYS WIFE WANTS
 ANOTHER HUSBAND
Stanley Can Sec No Reason Why He
 Should Support Her Under Such
Circumstances.

Arguing that his wife deserts him ana that she wants another man, stanley Sichichik, who was arrested yesterday while at work upon com plalnt of his wife and arraignod this morning in police court on d charge or non-Support, said he felt he should not be compelled to contribute to her support and to the support of thelr child. Judge Mesl1ill viewed the situ- alton from another angle, however, and as a result Stanley will report regularly to Probation Officer E. c. Connolly and turn over a fair part of his weekly earnings or he will serve 9 term in jail.
 The wife has been supporting her self and her two-year- child for some time, she said on the witness stand, while the husband not only refuses to turn in any money when asked, but beats her for bothering him about such trivial matters. She attributes his troubles to drink. Stanley says his wife lies about him. He claims that she left him a year ago, returning a short time ago. Since that time she has been bothering him for money, so he struck her, he says.
 Upon the request of Attorney Albert A. Greenberg, who has been retained by Mrs. Francesca Lantero to defend her on an assault charge, that case was continued until tomor- row morning. Mrs. Lantero is changed with striking and beating g Mary Doreo. The trouble occurred yesterday noon on Lafayette street when the women argued over the pay ment of costs for a broken window. In the heated argument they pulled one another's hair, causing the police to be notified. Mrs. Lantero was mo- where to be found when the patrol arrived, but shortly afterward started down Main street to consult a lawyer. Officer William O'Meara, who was on the lookout, placed her under arrest.
