NEWS OF THE STATE

Barre city finances received a lift
in the way of rebate that seemed
almost like Christmas present. At
ter checking up the streets lights
which the city is supposed to be re-
ceiving light from, it was found that
one light being paid for was not in
existence while others were of lesser
size than were charged. Adjustment
with the Montpelier and Barre Light
and Power Company Melted the city
1851.
Mrs. John A. Gray returned to
Barre last week after an exciting
trip from Scotland, where she had
been visiting with her s year old son,
were passengers on the Carmana,
which was struck by the Maryland
800 miles off Cape Race. The trip
consumed II days and was the worst
in 40 years, according to the cap
tain of the vessel.
The Young ePople's Community of
Montpelier has asked the City Coun-
il to modify, repeal or enforce the
curfew ordinance. The club officers
say that they send the children home
when the culfew rings, but recalls
that they stay on the streets until
they get ready to go home, as the law
is not enforced. The club wishes per-
mission to let the older children re-
main at the clubhouse after the cur

many communities. The rural clinic will bring 1t to them and with 1t help in suffering.
 The rural clinic as contemplated primarily will be a "consultation clin- ic' of physicians. Not only will tho local physicians profit by the consul tation with many physicians who are doing this work for the benefit of the rural communities and for the pro- fession' but the visiting physicians will profit as well. There are so many things to learn in medicine. that the entrance into new field literally will undoubtedly bring to tho atten- ton of city physicians. for instance. many forms of disease with which they are not as familiar as the rural physicians, but which their knowl- edge may assist the rural doctor to treat more successfully.
 Any such step taken in the interest of the health of the country is of vital importance, of course. and worthy of more than passing attention.

people. None could better represent if than the Knights of Columbus.
 An item that developed in one of the speeches of presentation brings a new thrill. w. r. Larkin told of the history of the relations between France and the United States, and spoke of the raising of s6.0o0.0 900 by the Catholic clergy of France to aid the American colonies. He spoke of Metz as the starting point of Lafay- cites career. and of the fact that 100 years later at St. Clemens college there. Foch was laying the founda- ton of the great character which was so proven when he became the hero of the recent war.
 America and France long fought for Liberty said Marshal Foch in receiving a baton as a mark of honor from the Knights. and will continue to protect liberty throughout the world"
 Thus spoke the great leader; thus, it is believed he echoed the sentiments of the American and the French people no matter what politicians say.

COAL PRODUCTION

It Is pretty generally understood that the trouble with the lack of coal lies in the transportation trouble. Ger tainly the consumer wants coal: ser tninly the dealers want ii to serve to tho consumer.
 This fact K made more evident by tho news that the production of bi- luminous coal reached it's peak for 1920 In the week ending August II. when there were turned out 11.72s,- 900 net tons. The coal production since January 1 lfas been iS,250, 900 greater than the 1919 production for the corresponding period.
 Coal cannot be "produced'' unless there are cars to place it in. So the greater production of the week in August this year is attributed partially to tho accumulation or empty coal cars white the strike was in progress in the Illinois and Indiana fields.
 Evidently the operators were ready; certainly the consumer and the dealer were ready. One has been inclined Co wonder at tho optimism Of the local dealer over the prospect. But one sees now that his optimism was Justified.
 Certainly, in the light of the news that has just come, and in view of the belief that the authorities are att tempting to solve the difficulty of transportation with every indication Of success. the users Of coal may feel more at ease concerning the winters supply.

COW ARRESTED.

l. One has seen some dignified French spoodle dogs, with long. white hair. trimmed in the latest fashion. who would probably die Of modification
 f forced into the comsany of men , they would meet in a jail were they | to be arrested. Such animals if the said Poodles will pardon the appella- ton. arc even rather "ohish" when their owner brings friend home to dine. They would know the intruder better before they honor him with their friendship.
 There Is something about the eyes of a COW. however, that makes for instant friendship. It is a wondering sort of look that possesses them. It never flashes. it never scorns. Poor as one may be. and cheaply clad. the eyes of COW return ones glance with that soft. gentle expression which dis arms one no matter what ones for mer intention may have been.
 The little story of the arrest of the COW yesterday Is pathetic. The bittd dHliAlhi bitEtiN its pasture. ambled along the street gazing into shop windows, undoubted- ly surprised at the new styles being shown. and then stumped up the steps of an artists studio. lured by the attractive pictures in front.
 Half way up the COW found pro- gress difficult. and because of the conformation of the animal was forced to make a retreat backward rather rapidly for COW. It was at the bottom of this descent that the iron hand of the law srasPed the mild animal.
 The cows motive could not have been bad; gaze at her eyes The cow did little harm; follow her trail.
 Thus some advocates of mild enforcement of the eighteenth amend ments want the saloon abolished. but do not want the serving of light wines and beer prevented under certain cir cumstances. But the trouble is they are not all cows In their dispositions.

LAFAYETTE STATUE.

One likes to read of the Knights of Columbus presenting to France n statue of Lafayette. There is some thing peculiarly appropriate in the action Of that body of fine men who stood SO firm both in and behind the lines in the war. performing this graceful courtesy.
 There is more of a human tie be- tween America and France, perhaps, than between this country and any Of the others Of the Allies. Though not closely connected by blood as we are with England. there is lacking any feeling among the Knights and some of the rest of our people. that England has been and still is an op- pressor. France. generous. warm hearted Is the way we think of her. and it is good to show to her that

TRAFFIC HELD UP
-Winsted Branch of N. Y., N. H. X H. Has Hour Tie-up This Morning When Train Is Derailcd.

Waterbury. Aug. 23.-Passenger traffic on the Waterbury -Winsted branch of the New Haven road was held up for more than an hour this morning when the forward tender truck on train No. 1320O leaving this city at 5:30 a. m., was derailed about one mile north of Jericho siding, near Thomaston. The train was going at a speed of 40 miles an hour, ac- cording to local railroad authorities, when the forward truck jumped the track. The train went over 800 feet before coming to a full stop. The chief damage caused by the accident was the tearing up of a long stretch of track. Passengers were trans ferred to train No. 265, reaching their destinations over an hour late.

the way from stockton, Cal. in a We
hicle Of ancient type drawn by a

reds of automobiles as he drove ieis-
urely over the paved highway the
primitive outfit attracted much at
tention. Sayler is 40 years old. His
harness was made of rope and the
vehicle was evidently built soon af-
ter his birth. He is a mining pros
pecror and has spent most of his life
travelling from place to place in this
fashion. He says he can travel from
fifteen to twenty miles a day, and
on good roads like these, pointing to
the paved highway, 1 can cover near

more than two months and expects
to consummate his journey north at
