VERMONT NOTES

Harold Tatineau, seven-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Tatineau, living
between East Burke and Lyndonville,
was killed Thursday by an automo-
bile driven by Myron Gibson. The
boy was playing at the side of the
road and ran directly in front of the
car which knocked him down and ran
over him before it could be brought
to a stop. The child's skull was
crushed and all efforts to save his
life were futile.
The state highway department has
arranged matters with the director of
State institutions so that convict
labor will be used on the Sherburne
federal road project and the work
will be commenced next Monday.
There has been a delay because the
superintendent of . the State prison
did not want to do the work this
year. The prisoners did fairly well
on the job last season, but, it is I'M
derstood, gave the superintendent a
little annoyance. The work is being
laid out by the State engineering de-
partment.
The wooden mill at Winooski is
now practically closed, so far as
pIOuuCIiOu cues, dIu Will IGuldlIl
closed indefinitely, according to the
officers. A month ago the mill was
going to capacity and the weekly
pay roll amounted to about $50, 900.
During the previous Is months there
had been no let up and recently the
mill had paid at the rate of a million
dollars in wages every four months
This is the greatest amount ever paid
in wages in Vermont by one con-
Germ and the shutdown comes as a
sudden blow after the unprecedented
prosperity. The reason is the sud-
den backing up of millions of dollars
worth of orders. The railroads were
partially responsible for this because
of the long time which was taken in
forwarding shipments. Dealers did
not receive their goods and cancelled
their orders. The sudden stop in
buying by the public was another i'm
portant factor in paralizing bust
ness.

43 of the poor houses of the state
received inspections.
During the month $353.56 were re-
ceived from the Graham fund for
crippled and defective children who
have not been committed to the
board. This feature of the Charities
board work has been highly approx
ed by the public generally. More
than $50 little detectives have been
made physically well through the
generosity of the public, there being
no state funds available for this de-
partment of their work. There are
about 40 children now needing hos
pital treatment, but the department
is wholly without funds for their care

One reason why women as a rule
are more cheerful than men is be-
cause they have happy habit of be-
lieving what they wish to believe,
while men generally demand proof.
A lazy man thinks the whole world

ROW OVER ALIENS
AOJ0URNS MEETING
Christian Americanization Con-

The argument became so warm and
the repeated calls for order SO unhecdcd
that the meeting finally was ended i.
an abrunt adjournment by the Rev.
f. W. Wilson, chairman.
Miss Sara j. Webb, formerly of 1O3r
Cayuga street, now of Warrington pa
began the argument when she rot mr.
and advocated the barring of foreigner
from the United States because of thcir
alleged demoralizing influence,
Mrs. Clara Dorton, of Darby, snrana
mp IN defense of the foreign born. Miss
Webb was undaunted She returned tC
the assault and not only stood by he,
guns, but said her argument was based
on personal experience with foreign
born residents and she was convinced
they should be barred for the good of
the country.
Then the argument became general
with the two women leading in charges
and counter charges. Mr.. Wilson ran
ped for order several times. No nj
tcntion was paid to him, so he dis
missed the meeting.
The negro question will be taken II,

About January Crawu. who was
twenty three wears old, was aware OF
persistent dizziness, confused vision and
general weakening of faculties. In n
few days these developed into an alarm T.

He was removed TO the hospital, where
he gradually sank into a dense coma,
from which it became increasingly diff

abandoned in favor of artificial nourish
ment, administered through n tube, ap
piled to the nostrils.
Frequent use of the oxygen pumr

NOTE NEW DECLINE
IN PRICES OF FOOD
Heavy Shipments, Reduced Con.
sumption and Fair Profit
Board Given Credit
U. S. TO SELL MORE MEAT

Investigation of the food situation
shows, a gradual drop in prices.
Many dealers expressed the opinion
today that it was due to a steady in
crease in shipments to this city with no
pcrceptiblc increase in buying. The
establishment of fair price commit
tee, it was agreed, was also n big fac
tor.
The sale of army and navy goods in
different sections of the country has
also helped TO bring down prices. Many
dealers have noticed, incidentally, that
customers are no longer buying cxtrav-
agantly.
Many seem to realize. n prominent
meat dealer said today, that n break
must come and they are beginning to
tctrench.
Nearly All Prices Drop
Prices of meat. butter and eggs. as
well as canned goods, are declining
gradually. There arc very few cxcep
tions. The very highest grade of meats
are remaining at their figures of week
ago, but as the government is TO put
5000 900 pounds of beef on the mar
ket for sale within a few DAYS this ac
ton will give beef prices another So
we're tumble.
Wholesale canned goods dealers ycs
terday also gave prices of year ago and
OF Yesterday. Canned goods of ali kinds
mad come down. they said. Pumpkins
dropped from 81. 80 year ago TO nine
~ four cents; smoked bloaters, from
S3 a dozen to $500 mixed vegetables
from 81. 80 dozen to S1.15: preserved
blackberries. from 81 dozen to So. 221h
