Vermont Pretends to Be Shocked.

To read an account of Greenfield s
last days under license which appeared
in last Fridays issue of the Brattle-
boro Phoenix one might believe that the
streets of this town were so thick with
DRINKS that it was impossible to get
about. The story is so far from the
truth as to call for an emphatic denial
in the interests of Greenfeld's good
name. The Phoenix takes for its source
of information a former Brattleboro
man now living in Greenfield, who in
formed them that on Saturday. June 2S,
he saw more intoxicated men on the
streets than he had ever seen in all of
his residence in Greenfield, extending
over Il year and a half. The real facts
arc that the closing days of license
hero were so quiet as to cause general
surprise, and even on the last night
there were very few cases of intoxca-
ton on the streets. Vermont need not
hold up its hands in righteous horror
at the wickedness of Greenfield, for
were it not for Vermont trade the local
liquor business would be much less in
volume and the district court would
have far fewer cases to handle in a
year.

BRATTLEBORO MAN INJURED.
George G. LaSares of Bradley Corpora
ton in Farren Hospital as Result of
Auto Accident.

George c. LaSares, inventor of toys
for the G. E. Bradley corporation, was
in an unconscious condition several
hours Friday and received several
cuts and bruises as the result of an au-
tomobile accident about o'clock on a
curve about a mile south of the Ber-
nardston hotel on the Greenfield road.
He was taken in an ambulance to the
Farren hospital in Montague about 10
o clock.
Mr.. LaSares, who was alone, was driv-
ing south at rapid rate and was on the
left side of the road. Aonther car COM
ing north on the same side of the road,
also being driven fast, forced Mr.. La
Sares off the road. AS he left the road
his Scripps Booth fve-passenger car
struck a telephone pole, breaking it off
and showing the base of the pole over.
The front end of the car was smashed
badly, but the machine did not tip
over Mr.. LaSares was rendered uncon.
scious and was taken to the home of Ora
Martin, nearly across the road from the
scene of the accident, and Miss Julia
Hale, nurse who lives nearby, gave
first aid, and Dr. w. II. Pierce was
called.
Mr.. LaSares received a cut over one
eye, cut on one cheek and another
under the chin, all of which required
stitches to close, the bone of one knee
was laid bare and he complained about
his chest. 1t is thought that his chest
came in contact with the steering gear,
but DR.. Pierce said that unless there
were internal injuries he would recover
The ambulance arrived at the Martin
home about 10 O'Clock, but before he
left Mr., LaSares rcgained consciousness
and said he was hurrying to Springfield,
where his wife was i'll in hospital and
where his mother also was ill.
The driver of the other car did not
stop and no one knows who he was. The
LcSares car was drawn to Bernardston
village and stored under orders of the
Bernardston selectmen
Mr.. LaSarcs came to Brattleboro from
Springfield, Mass, last fall to work for
the Bradley corporation.

REPORTS BUILDING SITES.
Investigating Committee ON Soldiers
Memorial Name Five-Suggestion by
DR.. A. I. Miller.

Sites which might be available fol
Brattleboro's proposed soldiers memoir
al building were reported by the invcs
tigating committee at meeting of the
general committee in the board of trade
rooms July 10, and then commun.
icaton from Dr. A. I. Miller of the pru
Dental committee of the incorporated
school district was read suggesting q
plan which heretofore has not beer
made public.
Rev. ID. T.. Trout, chairman of the in
vestigating committed reported that the
committee had considered several prop.
critics, some of which IRE not now avail
able, and he named four which the com.
mttee believed might be secured at
prices which he named. or for less
These four were the o. j. Pratt lot on
High street, Lindehhurst on Green
street, the Congregational parish house
on Main street and the II. r. Lawrence
property on South Main street.
A communication was then read by
Rev. Mr.. Trout from DR.. Miller, not as
a member of the school board but m a
private citizen, embodying ideas which
had occurred to DR.. Miller. As is well
known the present high school building
is over-crowded and it is planned at
some future time to erect new high
school building on the Hines property on
the south side of Green street, which the
school district bought several years ago
with that object in view. This would
leave the present building free for the
grades.
Dr. Miller suggested that it might be
found feasible for the district, the viii
lagc, the town, and the community fund
to erect jointly building or set of
buildings on the Hines property to be
used as high school and as commun-
ity center under such regulations as
would insure to the public the same
privileges that would be afforded by a
community building on some other site
not connected with high school,
This, he believed, would be advanta-
geous to everybody concerned as it
would be located in practically the cen
ter of population and would have the
assurance of being perpetually used,
whereas some memorials fall into dis
use through waning interest. His idea
contemplated giving up the High street
primary school building.
DR.. Miller had not made any inves-
tgation to determine whether the plan
could be worked out, but offered the
idea merely as suggestion, and nearly
everybody present spoke in approval of
the idea.
1t was voted that the executive COM
mittee appoint a committee of five to
thoroughly investigate DR.. Miller s sug-
gestion and report to the general COM
mittee at a later meeting. George l..
Durham, chairman of the general COM
mittee, presided.

After thorough discussion it was voted

The state has agreed TO give aid to the

needs. The amount available the first
year from the endowment, after repairs
have been made, will be about 5000 and
thereafter the income to the town will

town will be called upon to pay by reason

HAY CROP ABOUT AVERAGE.
May Forecast Was for Bumper Crop, but
Dry Weather Prevented - Corn and
Potatoes Promising.

In spite of May forecasts of a bumper
hay crop, farmers in this locality report
only normal crop cut, due to the eX
treme dry weather in June, but the rain
of last week gave good start to the
second crop in many fields where farmers
had felt second cutting would be i'm
possible because the roots were being
burned by the sun before the grass had
an opportunity to start.
Corn fields are looking much better
than at the same time last year, this con
diton being brought about by the much
warmer weather, and this product, too
has taken decided start since the rain
has reached the roots, and will show
greater growth NTH the return of warn
days and nights.
The rain was responsible for saving
many bushels of potatoes to the farmers
and gardeners, as the drouth already had
begun to have its effect, leaf wilt due tC
lack of moisture having been noticeable
in some fields.

French Language Likely

Paris, Jan. 14.-(By The AS
sociated Press)-Forty differ
ent plans for a league of nations
are now before the American
delegates. Each has points Of
merit, but many contain sec
tions directly at variance with
the ideas forming the basis Of
the other schemes.
In order that the inter-allied
conference may benefit by all
this matter, it is to be laid be-
fore a commission created for
the purpose; it is even probable
that it will be substituted sep
arately to each delegation, in
order to hasten a conclusion.
e 1ar they have expressed
themselves, the Americans, af-
ter a painstaking examination
which is still in progress, find
nothing it is declared, which en-
dangers any American ideals
such as the Monroe doctrine, for
instance.
One point upon which the
Americans will insist, it is un-
derstood, is that whatever pro-
ject is adopted, it shall be in
cluded in the treaty which Off
cially terminates the world war.
Off to Extend Armistice.

sentatives left today for Treres, where
Marshal Foch is presenting the new
terms to the German commission. The

terms of the armistice stated. according
to the morning newspaper, that the inter
