A PLEA FOR DUMMERsTON.
Resident Protests Against Recent Ac
count of Game Supper.


Editor of The Reformer
Your article in Saturday nights issue
Of The Reformer entitled Booze Flows at
Game Supper was the cause of indignant
surprise to all the people of Dummer-
ston who work and plan for many weeks
to make this event one which shall be
credit to the community and a whole
some Measure to out-of-town guests.
Because of the presence, at one time
during the evening of a party OF about 20
young fellows, presumably from Green
Field, who evidently did not understand
the nature of the occasion and who were
as promptly as possible taken care OF by
the authorities, your paper comes out
with the above headline, and a long and
detailed account of this incident with
slight mention of the reai event, the sup
per. concert and dancing and the hospI-
tality of a sister town whose people look
to Brattleboro as the center OF their
commerce.
We read, perhaps, in. small type in an
inconsnicuous corner of the Brattleboro
Reformer that such regretable things as
drunkenness, gambling and dlsorderly
conduct have to be dealt with at the
Valley fair, but these features are not
headlines on the front page as the main
or most notable events OF the fair;
AS citizen who holds dear the good
reputation of her home town and as a
woman who helps in a small way to make
the game supper to be S Glean success,
wish to enter an indignant pfotest
against the write-up in your paper, which
to nv mind conveys a very wrong i'm
preston.
Be fair to Dummerston.,,
Very Respectfully yours
MARY NJ. WALKER.

were not in training The amount
paid a man under his insurance will
not be affected in any way by the
fact he is taking vocational training.
After the course has been complet-
ed, the federal board finds a perma-
nent position for the man, and keeps
in touch with him. A man who re-
ceives no training pay from the fed
eral board continues to receive the
full amount of that compensation to
which he is entitled from the bureau

loses his compensation because he
takes vocational training. His actual
money income cannot be diminished,

PLACE FOR HENS IN WINTER
Range II Maximum Egg Pro-
duction is Expected.

For maximum egg production during
the winter months the hens must not
be allowed outside range but must be
confined to quarters, says T. s. Towns
ley. of the University of Missouri col
lege of agriculture. The poultry keep
ers who get the best egg production
during the winter months shut their
hens in their houses as soon as the
weather gets bad in the fall and keep
them in until spring comes. If the
birds are allowed TO run at large dur
ing the winter months they will spend
most of the time standing around be-
hind buildings and other windbreaks
trying TO keep warm when they had
much better be in the poultry house
scratching for feed. Turning the
birds out even on pleasant days dur
ing the winter months will cause
slumpS in the egg production. This is
probably due to the fact that when the
birds get outside the ground Is cold
and wet and this produces enough
shock to affect the production of tile
birds If the hens are to be kept in
side for several months the poultry
house must not be overcrowded. Each
hen should have at least two and q
half or three square feet Of floor space,
Some attention is necessary with birds
that are confined. to insure plenty Of
exercise. One method of providing
exercise is by feeding all grain In
straw litter covering the entire floor
to a depth of not less than twelve
inches. Another good means of keep
ing the birds busy is to hang cabbage,
turnips. beets or other green stuff just
above the birds heads in the house so
that they are kept busy jumping to
get this material.

Yankee Kept Long Vigil in Deep
Baltic Snow.
Soldier Abandoned by British Officer
When Auto Failed to Buck
Drift

Paris.-Richard Kelly of FL Paso,
Tex, one of the American doughboyS
recently recalled from duty in the
Baltic country, now is in a hospital
in Paris nursing frost bites and restor-
ing lost tissue as the result of lone
vigil with his car in a Baltic snow
drift During his tour of duty in the
Baltic, Kelly was assigned to drive
for British officer one of the big
yellow American cars, which, it is sup
posed. can go anywhere. One of the
last things his superiors told Kelly
was "stick to your car whatever hap
pens
What happened, was that during
the drive in the rural districts near
Riga, Kelly's machine, officer and all,
became stalled in a snowdrift. No
horsepower or ingenuity was able to
bulge it. The British officer with
his adjutant fought their way to the
nearest town for aid, leaving Kelly
alone to buck the snowdrift. For some
reason the officer failed to return.
Though Kelly might have surren-
dcred and sought shelter, he remem-
bered his instructions and gamely
stuck. Night fell so did more snow.
No one came along the road and no
twinkling light told of the nearness
of human beings. Kelly, hungry and
