that certain men be appointed to
run the trucks in the nearest dis
trict to the centrally located fire
house. 1t was also suggested that
drivers be employed by the town
ship and stationed at the fire house
at all hours of the day and night.
The plans that have been dis
cussed for some time are to aid
the efficient fire companies that now
are protecting the three sections OF
this part of the township. and it Is
expected that some plan will be de-
veloped whereby the firemen will
receive more aid when necessary
and more protection will be afforded

3y Special Correspondent.
FORDS, Feb. 1.-THE fire COM
missioners of this place are making
plans for the increasing of the pro-
lection of this section. and expect
to have their program completed
within a few days. They have made
sa survey of the present situation,
and found that some changes will
make the fire fighting forces OF this
place more efficient.
The company in this place has
always been quick to respond 10 an
alarms and have checked fires in the
past that would have proved serious
if II had not been for their quick
efforts and good work.
1t is proposed by the commission
ers that when the new hook and
ladder is placed in the house at
Keasbey that this truck and the
automobile truck in this place an
swer all alarms of fire in these dis
tricts. The new truck for keasbey
will be fitted so that It can carry
a large amount of hose, as well as
chemical tanks.
II is expected that the truck for
Keasbey will arrive sometime in
March, and ii is now question
whether or not the present fire
house will have to be enlarged. The
new apparatus will be much larger
in length than the present truck in
the fire house, which will probably
necessitate the remodeling OF the
building.
The plan to have both companies
respond to all alarms of firc in the
Fords and Keasbey districts has
brought up the question of distance.
1t is quite a distance for company
TO go to Keasbey in answer to an
alarm and the same for Keasbey TO
answer an alarm In this district.
But to make the companies more
efficient the proposed plan is best
that can be had under the existing
conditions.
1t has been suggested by several
persons that the three fire compa-
nies of Fords, Keasbey and Hope
lawn could be centrally located at
a point Just below Rogan's Corner.
and that all companies answer
alarms of fire In each district In
this way the outlying section
would be an even distance apart IN
case of an urgent call.
The firemen in the district in
which fire alarm was sounded
would not hurry to the fire house.
but would wait for the trucks to
arrive. The firemen OF the other
districts would report to the fire
house or go directly to the section
in which the alarm had been given.
To make sure that there would be

State Prison Conditions.

After reading Mrs. Lillian Olzendam's
report of her observations at the state
prison. which, by the way. were not at
all tlattering to some phases of the life
there, the people of Vermont will look
forward with interest to the official re-
port of the legislative committee which
made an investigation of conditions at
the same time that Mrs Olzendam was
there. If the findings of the legislative
committee are as bad as the word pic
ture portrayed by Mrs. Olzendam there
is n great need for a sharp change How
ever, there are assertions that some of
Mrs. Olzendam'S criticisms were not en-
tirely just in that they were the result
of faulty observation. No one will ac-
cuse her of deliberate intent to portray
the conditions in wrong light but all

by the legislative committee: but those

port made up from the opinions of many

THE GERMAN ATTITUDE.

The vast reparation sum fixed by the
allies has brought the usual indignant
cutlery from Germany. German states
men and editors are now loudly telling
the whole world that the demands made
are absolutely impossible for their coun-
try. in its present and prospective situa-
tion. to fulfill. They may be right or
wrong from the standpoint of fact-the
question is certainly open to debate
but there is one aspect of their position
which must strike any thoughtful person
very disagreeably. 1t is the aspect re
marked by former President Poincaire of
France, in an article in the Paris Matin,
| i'm which he says:
Germany complains of her misery as
if She were not the sole artisan of it.
Poor Germany, She fell upon Belgium
werp, Briey. Toul and Verdun. She ex-
pended billions to destroy our cities, to
food our mines, to ravage our forests.
She shot innocent French people, led
away women as hostages, condemned
thousands of young people to humiliating
S,
ruined. she implores her victims to give
up their claims against her. Poor Ger
many
1t is necessary to keep such facts as
these ever fresh in mind when consider
ing the relations between Germany and
the allies. 1t is necessary to remember
that mercy is undeserved, because Ger
many showed no mercy to the nations she
attacked and has not even earned mercy
for herself, according to Christian stand
ards, by repenting of the wrong she has
done. Whatever mitigation of penalty
the allies may concede to Germany will
be dictated therefore purely by business
eXigencies. If they do not enforce full
justice, of the Mosaic sort, it is only be
cause they cannot make Germany pay
what she deserves to pay.

"STOD" BATES.

Governor Hardness startled the legis-
lature yesterday afternoon by telling it
that while he thought Stoddard Bates
one of the most faithful and efficient of
state officials he was not going to reap
point him to the job of state highway
commissioner because Bates was not a
co-ordinator." Governor HaItness prob
ably means by this that while Bates
knows the road game thoroughly and is
acquainted with state conditions he does
not possess the faculty of planning and
putting through a comprehensive high
way program.
The Reformer believes that this is true
and that Governor Hartness's contem-
plated course of procedure is right pro-
vided he can find a real "co-Ordinator"
to put in Commissioner Bates's place.
1t will be interesting. however, to OBJ
serve the results of this move on future
administration projects. There is no de
nying the fact that the Bates machine
lis something real, and that in going up
against it Governor Hardness has his
work cut out.

Make Such Mistakes Impossible.
lGreontiell Rccorder.l }

So long a time has elapsed since a ia
tally resulting from mourning Kerosene
on the kitchen fire has figured in the
news dispatches, that there was every
ground to believe that this pcrilous
practice had been abandoned, but two
serious accidents happening yesterday
from this cause prove that the habit still
persists. In the case at Rochester, Vt,
six lives were sacrificed through the fact
that the head of the family mistoolz the
gasoline barrel for one containing kero-
sene. This is a mistake which should
be made impossible by putting containers
in widely separated locations, and danger
further averted by a resolve not to use
either to start a range fire.

st. Adams leads the state in the man
ner of harvesting ice, it is believed, be-
ing the only town in Vermont where ice
cutting is practically all done by ma

and four men, which were formerly
needed to cut the ice the work is now
being done by a four-cylinder. 30-hOrSe

in the state. 1T is operated to quote
a special despatch in the Rutland Her

cakes in one day. The ice is cut with a
regular field saw which can travel over
the ice at the rate of 100 feet n minuate
After the ice is cut and separated it is
taken from the pond by an elevator
which draws - cakes of ice from the
water every minute.
The pond covers three and One-half
acres of pure spring water, which at its
deepest is Is feet. Every summer all
the water is let out of the pond by the
opening of the dam gates. The gates
are again closed in the fall so that the
ice is made of clean and fresh spring
water
