TALK OF THE TOWN

Members of Vincitia lodge, No. 10
Knights of Pythias, marched to the
First Presbyterian church yesterday
morning, where they listened to an ex-
cellent address delivered by Rev. Will
liam Men. Kittredge, the service being
the occasion of the annual memorial
service of the order.
The electric store on Elm street,
owned by p. NJ, Carr, has been pur-
chased by the Cushman Co. The own
ers have made no definite plans as vet,
but they will doubtless continue bust
ness much as it has been conducted by
Mr.. Carr. The motor repair business
will be continued in their shop off De-
pot square, but the office will be re-
moved to Elm street, where they can
better accommodate their growing
business.
At the Granite Manufacturers asso
citation office, Traffic Manager G.. ID.
Waters has received the following reply
from telegram sent to the inter
state commerce commission: New
England coal situation receiving spe-
cial consideration by the commission.
(Signed) Robins, Director of Service"
II. j. M. Jones of Montpelier, Vermont
fuel administrator, who attended this
commerce commission meet
ing. declares upon his return that
much coal is to he shipped to New
ports by water, but the actual
relief this improvement offers to Barre
industries is uncertain. However, it is
expected that this industrial district
will in no way be ieopardized by coal
shortage next winter.

THE YANKEE CLOTHES PIN.
That Useful Domestic Article Requires
100000 Feet of Lumber a Year.

About 100000 feet of timber each
year is used in the manufacture of
clothes pins, according to W. G. Hull of
Upper Lake. n Y, in recent address
before the New York State College of
Forestry, Syracuse, \. Y, the annual
consumption being estimated at 1000
900 to 100000 boxes a year.
There has been no Improvement in
the art of manufacturing clothes pins
for 40 years. The method was invented
in New Hampshire and nearly if not all
of the machines now in use were man
ufactured there. New Englanders have
been the originators of most of the
methods used in woodworking, and so
far as clothes pins are concerned have
not been surpassed. For the last 10
years there have been at least five in
ventions annually for Improvements in
clothes pins submitted to the patent
Office, but none, says Mr.. Hull, has
found any degree OF favor with the
housewives who are still loyal to the
old fashioned clothes pin.
Clothes pins are made in three
lengths, five, four and half, and four
inch. The fve-inch is rapidly going out
of use, being used mostly on export or
ders Eventually all pins will be four
inches in length, as they are as strong
and practicable as the longer ones,
This saving in length and consequent
saving in diameter is the means of con-
serving millions of feet of lumber.
England uses 100000 boxes annually,
and in 1914 clothes pins were one of
the first commodities placed on the
embargo list, shipments not being re-

is TAKEN
TO STATE PRISON
But One of His Attorneys Declares
That Exceptions Have
Been Filed

Hyde Park, Dec. 3l.--Arthur Mud
gett, found guilty on Monday in La
moille county court of manslaughter in
causing the death of Amy Shonio last
July 81, was taken yesterday to the
state prison at Windsor to begin serv-
ing his sentence of 30 to 35 years at
hard labor that Judge Sherman H.
Mouton imposed.
When asked yesterday if an appeal
for Mudgett was to be taken to the su.
preme court, Frederick G. Fleetwood OF
Morrisville, one of Mudgett's counsel,
replied that exceptions have been filed
and that when the exceptions are com
pleted the case will go to the higher
court. Further than that, Mr.. Fleet
wood declined to amplify his state
ment.
Mudgett, who is 81 years of age, and
will be nearly 20 years old if he serves
his minimum term, maintained the GUS
tomary eomposure that has practically
never deserted him since he was ar
rested in August, after the Shonio
girls maltreated body was found on
the johnson cemetery hilltop.
He has had a good appetite and, so
far as the Jail officials know, has slept
well at night. None of his relatives
was at the Jail to bid him good bye.
He was handcuffed to Sheriff w.
Towne, and Deputy Sheriff Henry En-
cry also went along. Emery Is Mud
gett's brother in law.

SUE Walls ESTATE
Claiming Mr.. Vail Bought Big Block
of Stock in New York Company.

The International Products company
of New York, organized under the laws
of Maryland. has brought an action
against the estate of T. n. Vail, in
which it wants to have its claim for
Sl93,375 presented and allowed in Yer
mont. The claim is made that they fol-
lowed the practice of New York beliey-
ing that the practice in Vermont rela-
tive to the handling of estates is the
same as in New York and, therefore,
they did not place their claim before
the commissioners but gave it to the
executors, who are New York men and
had affidavits attached to their papers
to show that they did this.
They claim that Mr.. Vail bought in
1919 10000 shares of common and TO-
600 of preferred stock in the company
and that the payments become due on
Sept. 20, 1920. They asked for interest
on these since Oct 20, 1920. Sheriff f.
II. Tracy went to Lyndonville to-day
to serve papers in connection with the
matter.
