Who's the Better Burglar?
(Rutland Newsl


Who is the better burglar, the man
who lootS the libraries or the one who
steals bee hive and the swarm of bees
Three public libraries in Vermont at
ST Adams. Bellows Falls and RrattIe-
boro have been entered by thieves in the
past week and the cash drawers rifled
This is the News idea of common
place burglary in the extreme. 1t might
take the brain of seven-year-old and
the daring of a drunkard to execute
deed like that. The library closed for
the night, easy of access by a window,
or a door left open, away from the other
buildings, the robbing of a library sec
ord story man is like stealing stamps
from the office safe
But the bee stealer, with the farmers
dog ever on the watch, possibly patch
OF poison ivy or some other similar Ell
tanglement, and the farmer reading his
paper in front of the kitchen fire with
shot gun close by, to say nothing of the
swarm of bees ready to pounce upon him.
IS a robber of. the first degree It's a
different proposition altogether. The
men who are spending eight years in
states prison, the stealing, bodily, of a
safe from the Randolph station thought
to be one of the crimes, are only anna
tours compared to the bee burglar.
If there is any honor among thieves.
when these birds (of prey) are eating
prison fare the bee-boy shall have the
seat of honor at the head of the table

BANISHING HUMIDITY

\ large candy concern in the east has
developed a new process by which humid
ity is overcome, leaving the air dry and
fresh. 1t was demonstrated recently be-
fore several hundred representatives of
the confectionery trade who had assem-
bled from all parts of the country.
This agreeable artificial climate. said
to resemble that of high altitude, is
brought about by mechanical treatment
Of the atmosphere in the room. The re
suit is delightful, crisp and dry air with
an invigorating temperature of 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1t saves money to the
candy maker by eliminating the loss
which follows humid, sticky weather.
Turing which candy absorbs moisture
from the air and cannot be packed prop
arly or safely.
While the newer process is planned
chiefly as an adjunct to candy manufac-
lure, there is no apparent reason why it
,annot be developed and adapted to suit
Dther needs. Home owners might install
he anti-humidity system for hot summer
weather along with the heating system
for winter. Imagine the comfort of sit
ting in theaters or churches OF lecture
rooms, or shopping in stores, or riding
IN Pullman coaches, in which the usuaI
ventilation arrangements were improvpd
md aided by this mountain air device!

The MeddLer
"i the coat fits you. put II on"

| Unless something unforeseen happens to
prevent, emasculated train service on the
West River road will begin next Monday.
1t is hoped, however, that the special
committee representing the stockholders
of the old Brattleboro & Whitehall cor
pOratiOn will be able to compel the Cen
trail Vermont to give the patrons of the
road something more than one mixed
train a day each way. With such a
schedule in effect for two or three months
it would not be very difficult for the
road to make the claim that there wasn't
passenger traffic enough to warrant reg
ular service of any kind, for it is incon-
ceivable that a mixed train requiring
| four hours and twenty minutes to travel
81 miles will carry anybody except those
driven to it by emergency. The Meddler
is not convinced by the figures which the
Central Vermont officials produce that
| traffic between here and South London
derry warrants no better service than
they propose giving it. In fact. it
wouldn't take much to make him believe
that the present operators of the line
ton apparently justifying their abandon
ment of the road entirely.
The Meddler isn't familiar with the de-
tails of the controversy which has started
between town and village officials and
the Twin State Gas & Electric Co. over
the question of increased rates for street
lights, but Offhand it would seem as if
the company had a considerable job on
its hands to convince the seleetmen and
commissioners that they ought to pay APP
proximately % per cent more than the
rates of the past ten years. 1t wasn't
so. very long ago that the company was
telling the public of its excellent earnings
and there is no reason for believing that
those earnings are less in Brattleboro
than in other places where the Twin
State company operates.
The NTeddler believes that a basis of
agreement, or at least of understanding.
between the town and the Thomson
trustees ought to be found in the sug
gestion that a local committee be named
to confer with the trustees on the Gues-
ton of spending the kindred charities"
income. The trustees, whose authority
to spend this surplus income where they
think best can no longer be questioned.
have publicly stated that they prefer to
spend it in Brattleboro and vicinity andI
have expressed approval of the sugges- |
ton that the matter be taken up in
friendly conference.

A blow has been struck at the federal
bonus by the Disabled Veteran Magazine,
a new monthly publication. The editor
refers to the proposed cash bonus as 1.-The
greatest gold brick which the United
States could hand the soldiers who car
ried the colors of America to victory in
the World war.
The author. thinks the nation should,
so far as possible, restore the service
man to health and the position which he
might have enjoyed had he not been
called to war duty. He would have care
for the disabled the first consideration
After these cases were attended to, he
would have such measures extended to
the able-bodied veteran as would estab-
fish him as a self-supporting member of
the community. This he does not believe
can be done through '.cash payments or
their equivalents, of which the results up
IN the individual in his attainment of
thrift, economy and self-reliance are
doubtful
This looks as if when the subject
comes up again before Congress the fight
against the cash bonus would not be en-
tirely outside the service ranks There
are many persons who appreciate the
condition and sacrifices of the soldier
who feel the same doubt about the cash
bonus as expressed by this writer. 1t
would be interesting to know how large
a clientele of service men the article rep
resents, and whether further suggestions
as to the re-establishing of the soldier in
and society will be Forthcoming.
