AVERAGE
~ AOA
HAY CROP IN !.
CALEDONIA co.
Farmers up Against Two
Serious Handicaps, Help
Shortage and Weather

In the opinion of E. II. Hallett of
the Caledonia Farm Bureau the farm
ers of northeastern Vermont will har-
vest an average hay crop this month
while in other parts Of New England,
notably in southern New Hampshire
and Massachusetts theirs. will be- q
bumper crop. With hay still quoted
at $50 to $35 a ton the farmers will
get good price for it, but no more
than they deserve considering the
cost of harvesting the crop. Ii they
can get any farm help they have to
pay men from $5 to Sc a day and
their board and it is apparent that it
takes some capital to run a Vermont
farm on that wage schedule.
The unsettled weather of the past
two weeks and the frequent showers
have kent. the haymakers.. CUES esssin.lg,.

the labor.sho heritage e-.TLiS condition. 80
I piled to all states and is largely due
to the high wages offered in the in
dustries and other competing en-
ployers OF labor where men can earn
more than on the average farm.
,Mr. Hallett says only two men
applied for work on farms this year
at the office of the Caledonia Farm
Bureau, while the demand for hel>s
from the farmers of Caledonia coun-
ty still keeps up. He thinks the solu-
ton of the thing rests with the state
and he would have thent establish
employment offices in Vermont,
in the larger eenteis and finance a.
bureau to relieve the farmers of their
distress. He praised verv highly the
work done by the local Office of the
United States EMPLOYMENT bureau
at St. Johnsbury last summer and be-
lieves the next legislature ought to
give serious attention to the matter
and establish bureau along similaE
lines.
The hay crop of the state is one of
Vermont's best assets and Mr.. Hal
lett says that the loss to the state in
Caledonia county alone will reach in
to the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars because it will be impossible for
the farmers to ret help to harvest it.

After sounding of the starting ig-

nal at 1 o'clock the Shamrock eros
100 al official time and breezed
away on the first Is mile leg of their
80 mile windward and leeward course.
AT LAO Shamrock was well ahead
of Resolute. 1t looked as if she
would have margin in crossing Of
several yards.
At 1.50 Shamrock was within two
miles OF the Highlands and seemed
to be coming right INTO the arms Of
spectators VINO llned the shore.
At l.52 Shamrock cut out to sea,
Resolute held on to the port tack and
the two yachts began TO converge.
Then Resolutc managed to cross
Shamrocks bow at 1.55 and then
tackled to the starboard.
Shamrock put to port a minute
later but Resolute herself came
about and established herself OH
Resolute's watel quarter. A little
later Resolute was leading by 100
ydluSs AS tHc IWO StOOu III SHOIe III
shore Shamrock again endeavored to
outfoot her rival but Capt. Adams
kept the Resolute higher in the wind.
Both yachts lost speed as they shot
up into under the lee of the shore.
At 1.59 p. m. Resolute was leading
by 200 yards and the wind had breez-
ed up to six knots. At POI Sham
rock went over on the starboard tack
and approached Resolute which was
working inshore on port tack.
AS the yachts approached each
other Capt. Adams threw Resolute on
the starboard tack whereupon Sham
rock CAME about agin on the mort.
Resolute went about at 2.5 and
both yachts stood inshore towards
Monmouth Beach, Both yachts tack
ed to Starboard at 2.06 with Resolute
still to the windward. The yachts
keeled over in the STRENGTHENING
wind as they stood away from the
shore.
Shamrock was eager to add a third
victory to their string which would
mean that the coveted trophy would
go back to Great Britain while Re-
solute hoped to begin their task of
winning three straight races. At
1922 the regatta committee had
hoisted signals for the course beat
southwest to point about 8 miles off
Asbury Park, with u run back to the
Ambrose channel lioht ship. Each leg

year old child mother of an ,iliegl-
innate baby, which was found naked
and alive in the rear yard of the

As soon as Miss Bruley learned Of
the discovery of her deed, she hur-
riedly left town and came to New
port, where she stayed at the home
of friends here. 1t is known, how
ever, that the people, with whom she
stopped, knew nothing of her condi-
ton. She went to work last week
in Hurst's Restaurant where she re-

he attempt to locate the girl. AS soon
as he found her, Nh. Hill notified the
officials and they motored over at
once. A physician and nurse were
secured to treat her.
When questioned, Miss Bruley at
first denied any knowledge Of the af

TELLS HOW POISON
WAS SERVED TO
MRS. PETTIBONE
Rapid Progress Made In
Murder Trial of Benning-
ton Man

MANCHESTER, VT, July 21-
The prosecution in the trial of Byron
NJ. Pcttibone, charged with the mur-
der Of his wife at Bennington, on
April 6, proceeded today in its eff
forts to establish that Pettibone,
who was an undertakers assistant,
poisoned Mrs. Pettibone because Of
Ills alleged intatuation for a nurse.
The trial moved rapidly after the
jury was CHOSEN, and the state is eX-
rected TO complete It's case sometime
tomorrow.
Dr.. Frank Gardiner brought out
in hlStestimOn' that he had been
summoned to the Pettibone home on
/ the night on which Mrs. Pettibone
| ded. 1 mere he found her in convul-
slons with intermediate intervals of
calm, and he described his treatment
ol her and his belief as to the cause
OF her condition, an overdose of
strychnine.
The witness also told of a request
OF Pettibone's, made to himself and
Dl. Hurley, who was summoned
later and arrived after the death,
tndt ii they suspected any poison
ing, they say nothing ABOUT it be-
cause OF the talk it would arouse in
such a small town." Dr.. GARDINER Is
a graduate of the College of Medicine
OF the University of Vermont and has
practiced in Bennington since 1913.
tie Is 80 years old.
Eugene Rice, a iodger at the Pet
tibone home, explained that he room
ed there but did not regularly eat
there. He told of arriving at the
house on the death night at $50. Mr..
and Mrs. Pettibone were then visit
ing neighbor. Mrs. Westoff, in the
Sitting room, and the visitor left at
about $50. At about $50, when all
three were in the kitchen, Pettibone
announced that he felt poorly and
was going to take dose of salts.
Mrs. Pettibone asked him to fix one
for her and suggested that he make
a third for Rice. Rice drank his as
soon as Pettibone had mixed them,
and went to bed. He did not see the
others drink theirs. He had no i'll
effects from his dose. About 20 min
utes later, Pettibone called him
downstairs saying: "Better come
down quick, Eva's awful sick" He
then described the death scene, and
what the doctor did to alleviate her
suffering. He told of an occurrence
on the SUNDAY night before the death.
The Pettbones, Miss Bessie
WRIGHT, and he were in the kitchen
eating supper of meat. bread, butter,
and tea which Pettibone had prepar-
ed. The Pettibones sat op osite each
other. Pettibone brought in the tea.
Mrs. Pettibone could not drink it,
but claimed that it was bitter, and
asked the others if theirs was. They
said that theirs was all right. She
then looked straight at Pettibonc and
said, I wonder if anyone is trvino
to poison me-" A second cup of tea
was brought which she drank.
Further evidence that Mrs. Petit
bone was in fear of death by poison
ing at the hands of her husband was
given today. Mrs. Pettibone, accord
mo to Miss Wright, asked her hus-
band what he had put in the tea, say
ing it was very bitter and calling him
harsh names, asked if he was trying
to poison her. Pettibone prepared
a fresh cup which his wife drank
without complaining.

MEET TO SELECT
BURIAL LOT FOR
JOHN BARLEYCORN
Prohibition Convention
Scores Democratic and
Republican Leaders
(Bv the Associated Press)

LINCOLN, Neb., july 21-Calline
the thirteenth quadrennial convention
of the Prohibition Party to order
here this morning, Virgil G. Hinshaw
chairman of the Prohibition national
committee, told the delegates they
had come together to "selcct q buria
lot for John Barleycorn.' The 9th
er political parties, he said, "out OF
respect to Johns relatives have voted
that he shall lie in state for another
four years to be viewed bv the Amer
lean neople.
"The Democratic platform is ST.
lent, the Republican platform is 81
lent, the Prohibition national chair
man continued. Harding owns brew
cry stock, he is not a prohbitionist at
heart. Cox is wet. The future is be
fore us, the campaign is upon u.s."
1--WE want to do the wisest thing
the best thing for the prohibition
movement and for the country. 1t
was our fervent wish that every po-
litical party would this wear fall in
line with the Constitution of the
United States, with the Congress of
the United States, with the Supreme
Court of the United States, and rec
ognizes openly and avowedly the
settlement of this question. The 9TH
er parties have failed. What shall
we do?'
Turning to measures other than
prohibition which the party had
championed, Chairman Hinshaw said,
GAS we assemble here for the thir-
teenth time in 81 years we do so
with a realization that we have had
part in more than one battle and for
the solution of more than one prob
lem. While we have been a party
with an eye single to the solution of
one great problem we have at the
same time aimed at the solution and
reached the solution of many prob
lens.
"For example, we stood for woman
suffrage in 1872, which was forty
years before the Progressive Party
was born and forty years before any
other party assumed the same posi-
ton. AS matter of fact, we have
preceded every other political party
of importance, Democratic, Progress
sive or Republican, in the champion
ship of every vital issue during our
81 wears of history.
"Whatever else we may remember,
let US remember this-that we have
stood for National Prohibition since
1869. No other political party has
ever championed that issue in nation
al platform or convention.
eve are still on the map and our
mission is not ended" Aaron S. Wat
kins, keynote speaker at the Prohibi-
ton Party's Thirteenth presidential
year convention, told the delegates
at its opening session here this morn
ing, ave must place in the field a
ticket of real presidential size and
make a campaign that will win the
respect of all thinking men and &om-
en-"
Mr.. Watkins said that the prohibi-
ton question was not settled and
would not be until the machinery of
government is attached and the law
reakers surrender Internationally"
