The baseball situation brings back
20 our mind a time when we were an
usher In Chiokering Hail. In Leaven-
worth, Kan. A travelling hypnotist
came 20 the hall for a series OF dem
onstrations. His subjects performed
IN such a funny manner that we, be-
heving the show on the level, were
greatly entertained. Then somebody
told US there was nothing IN the pro-
fessors brand OF hypnotlAm and that
his funny subjects we're paid for their
antics. After that the show was de-
void Of all interest for us.

on Farms.

, BOSTON, May Ex-Governor Coolidge
today issued proclamation, in which,
after stating that food reserves are dan
gerously low, he called upon the people
of the state to raise what food is possible
by gardening or otherwise. Farmers,
under handicap by belated season, lack
of fertilizer, seeds and machinery due to
transportation delays and shortage of help,
are doing their utmost, the governor said,
adding that further appeal to the farmers
TO increase production would be both flu
tile and unjust.
To aid in overcoming the labor shortage
Governor Coolidge announced he would
ask the legislature for 81 500 to establish
camps for public school students in places
where they can be employed ON the farms.
He urged schools, churches, labor and
fraternal organizations to induce the pub

Mr.. Day Started Team Prematurely
and was Liable.
Shortly after 10 o'clock. this fore
noon the jury in the Windham county
court case of Abby w. Bingham against
R. E. Day, both of Brattleboro, re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.
The case began Wednesday morning
and was suit for damages of
$4,000. Mr.. Bingham was injured in
Guilford Feb. /, 1919, on the Holden
& Martin lot near Broad brook. He
was assisting in the operation of haul
ing logs across the brook by horses at
tached to cable which extended across
the brook, partly covered with ice.
lie claims that Mr. Day directed him
10 hitch the cable around a log and that
Mr.. Day said he would hold the horses
whlle the hitch was made, but that Mr
Day started the horses, drawing the
log against the plaintiff, breaking one
leg, hauling him out on the ice and into
the cold water
The testimony of the defendant
tended to show that after Mr.. Bingham
fastened the cable around the log he
stepped away few feet and told Mr..
Day to go ahead, giving him the sig
nal to star his horses, which he did.
Mr. Day said he heard an outcry and
commotlon and looked around and saw
MI Bingham struggling in the water.
Most of the day Wednesday was
taken up by the plaintiff and yesterday
the defense evidence was put in. fol-
lowed by the arguments. ATTORNEY o.
B. Hughes made the opening argument
for the plaintiff and ATTORNEY F. f.
Barber for the defense. ATTORNEY H.
G. Barber closed for the defense and
Attorney C. s. Chase closed for the
plaintiff.
The court charged the jury this
| morning, and it took the iurv only
about 10 minutes to decide that the de-
fendant was not liable.
There was no question that Mr..
Bingham was badly hurt. but there was
| introduced evidence that he did not
| follow instructions relative to the care
of his leg, thereby having more trouble
with 1T than necessary.
