"OLD STUFF" DECLARES
BOSTON NEWSPAPER
READER IN DISGUST

"Old Stuff" said a Boston
daily newspaper reader when he
picked up his Boston paper at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He read this big headline: Suf-
frage probably will be Proclaim
ed Today" Nearly two hours
before his Boston paper reached
town on the afternoon train he
had read in the Caledonian-
Record-"Signs Equal Suffrage
Bill. Women Win Complete Vic
tory and Can Now Register for
Presidential Election" The
story told of Secretary Colby
having signed the Woman Suf-
frage proclamation.
In another column of the Bos-
ton paper he read: "Predict
Tumble in Price of Coal" In the
Caledonian-Record he read what
the prices in Boston actually
were and that they had been
boosted instead of dropped. AS
Boston sets the New England
prices he began to worry about
his coal supply.
The rapidly increasing cir
culation of the Caledonian-R Re-
cord is a testimonial to the fact
that Northern Vermont is now
firmly convinced that they do not
have to depend upon Democratic
Boston papers to get the real
news. while it is news. You get
the big news of the world, the
State news and all the home
town news While 1t Is News, in
the Caledonian-R Record.

are selling out about every

VAIL SCHOOL
MAY GO TO
THE INSTITUTE
State Board Will Recon-.
mend that Legislature
Take This Action

The State Board of Education hac
an important conference at Lyndon
vile Thursday evening and as re-
suit will recommend to the next leg
isllture that the Vail School OF
Agriculture, which the late Theo. N
Vail decided to the state some six
years ago, be given up and that the
property revert TO Lyndon Institute.
The State Board invited to this
conference a half dozen representa-
tive farmers from all parts of the
state, including w, N. Cady, of Mid
dlebury, f. H. Bickford of Bradford,
F. L. Davis of Hartford, G. A. Da-
Wis of Rutland town, Horatio E.
Luce OF Pomfret and E. S. Brigham,
State Commissioner OF Agriculture
from St. Adams. These men made
thorough investigation of the Vail
farms and properties Thursday after
noon. Later in conference with the
State board they gave as their judg-
ment that the best interests OF the
state would be served by abandon
ing the Vail school and farms and al
lowing these properties to revert un-
del the terms OF the deed of gift to
Lyndon Institute.
Acting on their counsel the State
Board at a subsequent meeting adopt
ed resolution stating it to be the
sense of the Board that it should rec
ommend to the next Legislature the
abandonment Of the properties. The
unanimous opinion of these represen-
tative farmers was taken as an eX-
preston of the farmers of the state
Us 4 whole respecting this matter.
In view of the conditions that
would necessarily hamper the school
under the situation as it now exists,
the Board decided to postpone the
opening of the school until after the
Legislature has had an opportunity
to act, providing that this can be
done without forfeiting any OF the
States interests in the properties. To
this end an arrangement is under
way with Lyndon Institute whereby
the latter institution is expected to
waive anv claim for forfeiture on the
part Of the State until the Legisla-
turc has acted.
The details connected with this
plan respecting the Vail school are
left to a committee of the State
Board to adjust. This proposed az
rangement was very satisfactory to
the trustees of Lyndon Institute as it
gives the Institute a large property,
which if not profitable to be employ
cd directly, can be sold wholly or in
part by the owners.

HAYS SAYS COX 'DREAhIS'' IN IILLIONS
OF PONZI
SEEK RETURN OF $4,000

BOSTON, Aug. 27-The receivers
in bankruptcy Of Charles Ponzi took
legal steps today to add TO his assets
The sum Of $4,000 which he is alleged
to have paid Joseph Daniels in settle
ment of a suit by Daniels to estab-
lish a partnership interest in the
Securities Exchange Co. Daniels in
his suit alleged that he loaned Ponzi
the 5000 which started the Get Rich
Quick Operator" in business.
The receivers action is in the form
of a bin of equity to have Daniels
by an order of the court turn over
to the receivers the money he had
from Ponzi. They allege that at the
time the settlement was made Ponzi
was insolvent and that the settlement
was fraudulent and intended to defraud
other creditors. The receivers claim
ed that Daniels gave no valid consld-
Grafton for the transfer.

little village has such q tremendous
crowd throngcd the streets to par
ticipatc in an observance Of any ma
tuIe. Pomp and ceremony was en-
tirely lacking, but the fact remains
that cverv man, woman and child IN
town had "the time Of his life. Re
strictions were cast to the four winds
and as a result, every merry-maker
relaxed, and just acted crazy.
1t is estimated that more than
1000 persons from various sections
of the county and state participated
in the grand jubilee. Young and old
mixed together in perfect harmony,
all bent on one thing, and that was
having one grand, glorious time
Automobiles were parked for
blocks alone the lower part of the
Main stree. and also on the side
streets. Many folks drove in from
the country in teams while it is NOT
unlikely that still more "hiked" in
from SURROUNDING territories.
One remarkable thing in connec-
ton with the celebration which
should be mentioned is the excellent
way in which the crowd behaved on
the streets.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Pallin Of
Orleans, Deputy Sheriff George Jen-
nings of Barton and five special po-
lice were delegated to handle the
throng. Strange to sav there was not
a single complaint from any source,
which only goes to show that large
crowd can thoroughly enjoy them
selves without becoming obnoxious.
Sheriff Parlin was more than pleased
with the fine wav in which everyone
conducted himself and he expressed
the hope that everything would 90
forward as smoothly during the re-
manning days Of the celebration.

TRUCK BREAKS
THROUGH BRIDGE
AT WATERFORD
AutOmObilists Over ROOse-
Melt Trail Must DetOur
tO Monroe, n. II.

Travele. oyer the Roosevelt High
way from s Johnsbury into New
Hampshire viii gor a few days be
forced to take detour across the
Connecticut River bridge at Barnet
instead of Waterford on account OF
an accident to the Waterford bridge
At about o'clock on Thursday after
noon, truck belonging to a New
Hampshire numbering firm broke
through the plankinp of the bridge
which has received a lot Of heavy
traffic this summer. The truck had
a heavy load of lumber, chained on
and as it was bound east across the
bridge, the rear wheels broke
through. But for the fact that the
long lumber protruded over the rear
of the truck body, the truck and its
driver, whose identity could not be
ascertained, would have been plung-
ed into the river below, but the lum-
Der caught and held the vehicle from
sinking clear through. 1t is now in
the Waterford bridge.
Immediately afetr the accident,
Fred Follansbv of st. Johnsbury with
his young son, Robert, and Mr..
Fritz, travelling man, came upor
the scene, bound for the Follansby
home on Main street, in St. Johns
bury. They came just too late to
cross the bridge, and while they in
spected the damage, and made sure
that no one was hurt, large num-
Der of other automobiles bound in
both directions collected at both ends
of the bridge
The number Of cars that pass over
the bridge daily cannot be estimated,
but it is almost certain that large
number succeeded in crossing ii
without mishap on Thursday before
the truck broke through, and it is
generally believed that the truck was
overloaded, Il is possible that weak
plankinp. which has been badly worn
by the continuous stream of tourists
automobiles, was responsible.
The detour through Barnet bridge
involves about ten miles more of road
than the direct route along the
Roosevelt highway through Water
ford, and part Of it is on poorer
road. After crossing the Barnet
bridge, the route leads directly up the
New Hampshire side of the Connecti-
cut River to the Waterford end OF
the broken bridge, and thence by
main road. If any party, going as fal
as Littleton desires to keep on oooc
road, its route would be to Woods
vile and thence to Littleton adding
20 miles to the former distance.
