THE HOMICIDE IN BARRE.

The homicide committed in Barre Sat
urday night must not be allowed to go
UNPUBLISHED, and to the end that justice
may be melted out to the perpetrator Of
the crime every effort should be directed.
The facts leading up to the crime and
the situation Immediately preceding the
murder of the woman need not be con
sidered in the contemplation of the ne
cessity for prompt and thorough action.
Those are Of minor Importance in com
parison with the main thing, which is,
that a crime of major gravity has been
perpetrated and that the murderer or
murderers must be made to pay the
penalty in order that the wel-ordered
life of the community and the state may
be forwarded. and that life may be rem
dered safe for ALL In due time we may
hope to wipe out the breeding-paces of
such crime and of crimes of lesser nature.
But the first duty is to land the guilty
party or parties in this homicide where
there will be no possibility for repeti.
tion and SO that there may be a sharp
deterrent of all crime.

The Cost Of Keeping Cows.

To Whom 1t May Concern; Is it fair
estimate of the cost of milk to take IS
cows that give less than seven quarts Of
milk per day and admit he is feeding 50
per cent more grain than the regulation
dairy feed, which is one pound of grain
to three pounds of milk, and then he ad-
mits 1915 profit on that low average.
There is another net profit to add to
that. When the cows pay the full high
cost of their feed, they own the fertiliz-
er made from that feed, and the value Of
that must be according to the cost Of
the feed, which would be about "a a
week, making credit of S1375.
If poor COWS will do that, what will
good ones do? Consumers don't want TO
pay for keeping poor cows,
