Richford- Three freight trucks
from Burlington came here
Monday night, and on Tuesday re-
turned to that city with about $1Q,-
600 worth of liquors which had at
various times within two years been
seized by customs officials for evasion
of the revenue laws and the Volstead
Act and condemned by order of court
and ordered sold to authorized gov
eminent vendors, who in turn sell it
to government licensed druggists and
thence it gets to the consumer, who
procures it by authority of doctors
prescription. 1t is understood that
the government sells and liquor for
S18 per case, or 81 so per bottle, to
the authorized vendors, who in turn
sell it for 500 per case. The con-
sumner buys the liquor at prices vary
ing from $3.50 to So per pint.
ntpelier-Thomas Farrell, the
oldest engineer in the employ of the
Central Vermont. is dead. He was

The shooting Of the hired man fol-
lowed quarrel over the hitching up
Of horse. It was said at the time
that young Smith ordered the hired
man to hitch up horse for him to
drive to Randol phi. The hired man
refused, after some words, saying he
was hired not by the son but was
working for the father. Smith went

Timely Helps and Hints to Club
Bows and Girls.

A hoe and rake are the tools for
the month Of June, July and August.
Weeds take to the back woods when
they see these two fellows coming.
Be sure your garden is not dried
out and hard on top. A soft mulch
of dirt made by the hoe and rake
keeps water in the ground for weeks
without any rainfall. The weeds neV-
er get a. start when you "dry mulch
the garden (hoe and rake it,.
Rake the garden after each rain
as soon as the sun and wind come
back again.
At least once a week you should go
over the whole garden. It will take
but thirty minutes to do this-a half
hour a week is better than four or
five hours of hard work digging the
weeds and witch (quack) grassland
the plants have a chance to do their
best.
Radishes planted or transplanted in
with the squashes and pumpkins keep
the bugs away Nasturtiums will do
the same for cucumbers-a few
plants in each hill.
Your corn and potatoes should be
in by the end of this week. Plant
two or three rows of corn at time
with a week in between the plant
ings. This assures you of fresh corn
during the season for the table.
For fertilizer, good thing to do
is to get a butter or lard tub, or a
tight barrel cut in half, fill it three
quarters full of water and add five
quart pail of hen manure. Let this
stand a day and then use the liquid
for watering the plants. Add more
water and fresh manure as it is used.
Keep your record book as you go
along as much as you can. I will
help you when I come to see you or
to your club meetings. A good rec
ord means good worker and they
always win out in everything they
do. Are you a worker?
Get ready for your exhibit next
fall NOW, also for the county ex-
position.

Nothin' to do whole day through
'Ceptin' the things want to do.
I'll be terrible busy, though,
Always a-movin', on the Cos
Feedin' chickens; milkin the cows;
Stufin' the hay up in the mows.
Nothin' to do the whole day through,
'Ceptin' the things I want to do!
None OF. it's work; it's fun, if you
Do the things that yau want to do.
Pickin' and choosin' here an there,
Findin' some fun most everywhere.
Nothin' to do the whole day through
'Ceptin the things you want to do!
Wonder why all the folks I see
Don't have fun, the same as me,
Seems as though they go it blind:
Takin' anything they find,
Workin' at, the whole day through,
Things that they don't want to do
Betcher life! when I've grown tall
Work an me won't hitch at all,
Cause I'll look around a bit
Huntin' for the place I fit.
Then I'll spent my whole life through
DOM the things that l want to do!

Feed a Balanced Ration

Feed your cows balanced ration
says John T. Hitchcock, extension
specialist in dairying of the Univer-
sity of Vermont and State Agricul-
tural College. Timothy hay may be
good for race horses, but it doesn't
belong in the dairy barn unless sup
plemented by other feeds better
adapted to the use of dairy cattle.
For economical production of milk
good clover hay and corn silage, sup
plemented by the proper grain ration
has them trimmed out of sight.
The first of every month the agri-
cultural extension service of the Uni
versity of Vermont distributes a ra-
ton service prepared by H. B. Ellen
berger, professor of dairy husbandry
These rations are carefully prepared
after full consideration of the suitable
ity and composition of the various
feeds which are selected in accordance
with current prices. This service will
be sent free of charge every month
to anyone requesting it.

out, that the warmest three periods
are those ending in 1900, 1910, and
1920, and that the coolest decade i'm
mediately follows the second warmest.
Considering the individual months
and the individual years, it is found
that the coolest January occurred as
late as 1857. The coolest February
occurred eight years after the warm
est one. The coolest March was as
late as 1870 and again in 1885. The
coolest April was in 1874, and many
years after the warmest one. The
lowest temperature in May was in
1872, 1915, 1870, and 1882. he
higest figures in Juffe are IN 1910,
1870, 1903, and 1876. In July the
lowest was in 1916, with the warmest
as early as 1870 and equaled in 1876.
The coolest August occurred 81 years
after the warmest. In September the
coolest months are in the earlier
years, but for October, November, and
December the coolest year came after
the warmest year in each case.
Thus it will be seen that in nine
months of the year the coolest ore of
record occurred after the warmest
one. These figures seem to indicate
very clearly, the weather official says,
that since the time of the Revolution
any War, at least, there has been no
permanent change in temperature.

REPUBLICANS HAVE A
NEW PLAN TO HANDLE
LIQUOR SITUATION

Washington, Feb. 25.-A new
plan for enforcement of prohibition
is being discussed among Republican
leaders as a prospective policy of
the Harding administration. 1t con-
templates abolishing the present
dual enforcement machinery of the
treasury and justice departments
and centralization of full RESPONSE
bility and authority under the at
torney general.
Some Republican leaders in the
confidence of the President-elect
say this plan may be one of the ear
ly announcements in the administra-
tion's new program for re-organiza-
ton of government agencies. Harry
M. Daugherty, who is to be attor-
ney general, is known to have dis
cussed the subject during the recent
conferences at the capitol.
Whether the plan under discussion
contemplates retention Of a. federal
urohibition commissioner apparent
ly has not been definitely deter
mined. It is understood, however,
that all state enforcement agents
will be dispensed with and the prohi-
bition enforcement work left to the
Department of Justice through state
district attorneys and their local OF
augmented assistants.
Daugherty 10 Silent
Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 25.CHarry
M. Daugherty, who is to be attorney
general in the Harding cabinet TO-
day refused to discuss proposed
changes in the federal prohibition
enforcement machinery.
Although admitting that some
changes have been talked ove1
among Republican leaders, he saie
he would not publicly comment OF
possible congregational action, de
claring that any such changes woule
have to be authorized by congress
While changes have been discussed
Mr.. Daugherty said, Republican
leaders had not decided upon an!
definite program.

NEW CHARGES MADE
AGAINST GUARDSMEN
Warrants Alleging First Degree
Murder Served on Nine Ala
bama Soldiers

Hamilton, Ala, Feb. 22.-Charges
against nine members of the Ala
bama national guard, held in con-
nection with the lynching of Will
Baird at Jasper on January 13, were
quashed by the state here today and
new warrants charging first degree
murder served on the defendants
all of whom are members of Com
pany NJ, of Tuscaloosa.
A surprise second only to the ar
rest of the national guardsmen
when Special Prosecutor Horace c.
Wilkinson moved that the indict-
ment against Sergt. Glenn X.
Stephens, who was placed on trial
today in connection with the lynch
ing of Will Baird, be noll pressed.
No sooner than this motion had
been made than the state also, pro-
posed that the Indictments against
eight other defendants, including
Sergt. Robert J. Lancaster whose
case resulted in a mistrial likewise
be cancelled. Judge Wilkinson then
announced that a warrant charging
murder had been sworn out for each
of the defendants, thus bringing to
light the fact that the state will
seek a return to the courts OF
Walker county, where Baird was
lynched and will resist any move to
take the new cases from that juris'
diction.
Sergeant Stephens, who was in
the court room was Immediately re-
arrested while warrants were served
on the eight other guardsmen in the
Marion county Jail.
Judge T. L. Sowell issued an or
der removing the soldiers 10 the JEFF
ferson Jail at Birmingham giving at
torneys for the defense the right to
choose the place of confinement.
