THE STATE

AGED WOMAN FROZEN TO DEATH.
The frozen body of Mrs. Betsey l..
Hadley. aged so years, was found in the
door-yard of the farm at Sherburnc last
Friday. where she had lived for 80 years.
Since the death Of her husband in 1891.
Mrs. Hadiey had lived alone, steadfast-
~ refusing to be taken from the home
she had loved for so many years. 1t was
the custom of John f.. Davis of Sherburnc
to call at the home of Mrs. Hadley each
week to bring her provisions and look
after her comfort as far as possible As
usual he called Friday afternoon. but
could see no signs of anyone around the
house and the farm looked strangely
quiet. The snow was drifted heavily
| around the door and there was no in
dication that the house was occupied Mr.
Davis raped upon the door, and upon
getting no answer. entered the house by
a back door and called to Mrs. lladley
4 careful search OF every room i'll the
house and barn failed to lead to any trace
of the aged woman. Mr.. Davis at once
| teephoned some of the neghbors to come
and aid in the search
! While awaiting the search party. Mr..
| Davis continued to look around the farm
and came upon the body of the unfor-
tunate woman about eight rods from the
| house buried in snow drift in the fur
Their corner of her door-yard. An en-
animation by doctor showed that Mrs.
lIadley had been dead several days.
| The victim of the accident was quit .
feeble and it is thought probable she was
overcome while attempting TO reach tho
house from the barn where she had Sone
to care for her horse which was the only
other living thing on the little farm Re-
turning from the barn in a binding snow
storm. Mrs Hadley doubtless became
confused and wandered off in the wrong
direction. was unable to struggle through
the heavy snow and persisted in the deep
drift Falling snow soon covered her body
which remained in this white grave for
three days.
| Mrs. Hadey mad often remarked tr
Mr. Davis that some day lie would call
and find her dead, but she said she pre-
ferred to live and die alone on her far,

known so los,

COOLIDGE NOT
A CANDIDATE
Is Not and Never Has Been Out
for the Presidency. He
Declares

Boston, Jan. Ex-Governor Coolidge de-
clared to-day that he was not and never
had been q candidate for president and
that he would not enter a contest for
the Massa chusetts delegation to the re-
publican national convention. He did
not say that he would not allow the
presentation of his name at Chicago. but
was emphatic in his assertion that h.
would not permit the imputation that he
had used the office of governor to pro-
mote his own interests through the eelec-
ton of delegates.
In a formal statement for the press
Governor Coolidge said that the course
of the present was 'the almost universal
eraspine for power" For himself he
was not insensble TO the honor sought
for him by others but the efforts of his
friends did not contemplate contest
for delegates in his own State. lnas-
much as some MasSa chusdtts people
intended to make one, the question arose
whether he ought to permit contest in
his name. He answered the question in
the negative.

WHAT OUR NE|GRBORS SAY
The Financial Problems Which Are
Facing Some of the Smaller
Towns
From the Rutland Herald

NO question which the taXpayerS of
The state have to face is more important
than that of revenue. At every session
of tho Legislature. the budget and appro-
priations committees have to deal with
a small delugc of bills for the aid of
towns which are in financial difficulties,
sometimes temporary, sometimes chronic.
ability to meet their obligations
Many of these claims for State aid are
perfectly legitimate and arise from some
sudden draft on the towns funds, such
as the destruction of a bridge. washing
out of highway by flood waters or con-
frequently TO their limit to pay, the towns
turn to tho Legislature for relief
Owing to the war and the liberal policy
of the state toward it's men and women
in service. the appropriations for the cur
rent two years We're unusually large and
a state tax. first estimated at 20 cents
on the grand list. was finally levied at A.
cents. Many towns failed to appropriate
enough money, some were obliged to Dor
row and the majority are faced this year.
not only with a large State tax. but with
the necessity of making up what they
failed to appropriate last spring
This is pretty serious business for the
smaller towns, especially those whose
| grand lists are small and their tax rates
high, The following scattering examples
are Significant.
