SENDS BULLET THROUGH
FOREHEAD FROM RIFLE
Had Threated to Take Life On
Account of Trouble in
Family

Mrs. Leonard Louks, about 80 years
of age, living on a farm two miles
from Bloomington Center village to-
ward Charleston, shot herself in the
head with a rifle Sunday forenoon
about II o'clock.
1t appears that Mrs. Louks went to
her room, upstairs, about II O'Clock
and when she did not appear, Mrs.
Wells, who lives with the Louks, went
to her room and not getting a re-
Spouse from her rapping on the door,
found her dead inside, with a bullet
hole in her forehead, made by shot
from 32-calibre rifle.
Selectman Nathan Barry was sum-
mo9ed and DIR. Lanphear of Orleans
was called. They pronounced it a case
Of suicide.
1t is reported that Mrs. Louks had
threatened to do such deed and that
there has been some trouble in the
family, the household comprising of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louks and young son
by former wife of Mr.. Louks, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hollis Wells, Mrs. Wells
being the mother of Mr.. Louks.

Congressman Greene expressed a
truth which should be often repeated,
in an address given in Barre last week
while on a short visit to the state
from his duties in Washington. 1t is
a warning to the people not to expect
that the new administration can work
wonders in few weeks or with one
sweep of the pen. Mr.. Green's idea
is that it was not so hard for the Unit
ed States to fight as it is to get back
to normal poise after the fighting;
people can be keyed up by patriotism
and spirit of self-defense sufficient
to shed their blood and do many 9TH
er things but they are slow to sub
side after that experience of war.
Now the country is yeasting and
grinding in an effort to. get back to
that state of composure which must
come before the normal course is re-
sumed.

Better Care of Cattle

"The eye of the master fatteneth
his cattle" says an ancient adage, and
it is no less true, say the animal
husbandrymen at the State College of
Agriculture, that the eye of the
master maketh them to give milk"
Lack of care is cutting down the
yield of large proportion of Yer
monts' dairy cows, and, what is more
important, is because of that fact
preventing them from returning a
profit to their owners. To cut and
send to the block the poor stock, and
take better care of what is left would
result in an increased income from
many of our dairies.
Wise culling and successful feeding
require sound knowledge and close at
tention to the cattle. Keen observa-
tion-"the eye and the master".-and
little bit of common sense go long
ways toward profitable dairying.

Our Government of the People.
(Stanstead P. O., JournaD

Somebody remarks that the present
legislature seems to be ordinary in
calibre; most folks and gatherings of
people are rather common, and such
are quite liable to gather in the legis-
lative halls of the state. It is pecu-
liar, perhaps, that the average town
sends it's average man as represen-
tative, for if he is above or below this
grade it would undermine the princi-
Piles of representative government.
There is something psychological in
this, and in way unexplainable, but
it has proved safe and sane, and upon
it a great republic has been built.
The strength of the republic of the
United States is not to be wondered
at when the order of it's making is fol-
lowed to it's beginning. Forty-eight
states or big units, each state divided
as Vermont into counties, and each
county into towns. Two hundred for
ty seven republics convened in the
state in annual town meeting on
March 1. AS one thinks of this Won
derful system Of representation, the
truth of Lincoln's observation that, "a
government of, for and by the people"
must be true.

Churches Show Substantial Gain.
(Rutland Herald)

After heavy losses in many denomi-
nations in 1919, the churches of the
United States made net gain of
1t is welcome news that factories
667, 900 members during 1920, accord
ing to compilation recently made by
the Christian Herald. It is difficult
to explain the increase unless, as that
periodical suggests, the churches were
awakened by their losses in 1919 and
made great efforts in 1920 to increase
their membership. This is indicated
in the fact that districts where the
heaviest decreases were reported in
1919 had the largest gains in 1920.
For instance, the Methodist groups
showed loss in 1919 of 1881 and a
gain in 1910 of 237, 127; the Presby-
terrain group lost 46,359 in 1919 and
gained 43,O31 in 1920, and the Bap-
fist group, which lost II ,108 in 1919,
gained 129, 283 in 1920.
The Roman Catholic church showed
an increase in 1920 of 127,579 and in
dications are the increase will be still
greater when immigration sets in
again.
Despite the growth in church men,
bership, the total in the country for
all denominations being 42,140,997
there were $50 fewer churches in 1926
than in 1919 and fewer clergymen in
many denominations. This may be
due, in part at least, to the tendency
to consolidate struggling causes.
The prevailing belief that the
! churches are losing their hold on the
rank and file of the population seems
to be upset by the actual figures
There appears to be something in the
"old-time religion" yet and the natio1
! of 1O5,O00,O00 which has 100000
| communicates can hardly be called
Goddess and entirely worldly.

TWO -vERMONTERs APPOINTED
PRESIDENT Harding Names Husband
and Harvey for Important
Positions

President w. G. Harding has named
two Vermont men for important posts
In his Official family. w. w. Husband
Of st. Johnsbury is to be commission
er general of immigration, and George
Harvey of New York, editor of Har-
vey's Weekly, native of Peacham, IS
to be- ambassador to Great Britain.
I Col. Harvey was active in bringing
about the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson in Baltimore in 1912, but be-
fore the election the following Novem-
Der there was break between them.
Mr.. Wilson wrote Col. Harvey that his
support was embarrassing and after
wards the colonel became one of the
sharpest critics of the Wilson admin
istration.
In the 1916 elections, Colonel Har-
vey supported Charles Evans Hughes
and last year he supported Mr.. Hard
ing.
Before founding Harvey's Weekly.
Mr.. Harvey was editor of Harper's
Weekly. He also is editor of the
North American Review, which he
purchased in 1899. Before turning to
the magazine field he had had a long
career as a newspaperman, beginning
in 1882 and was managing editor Of
the New York, World from 1891 to
1898.
Col. Harvey served one year as in
surance commissioner of New York
and from 1894 to 1898 he was con-
structor and presfdent of various cleo
trio railroads. He was born in Peach
am, Vermont 81 years ago and was
educated at Peacham academy. He
holds the degree of doctor of letters
of the universities of Nevada and Ver-
mont, and Middlebury and Erskine
colleges.
w. w. Husband, who has been ap-
pointed commissioner general of i'm
migration, was for few years editor
of the Montpelier Journal before 60
ing to Washington as secretary to
Senator Dillingham;. Since then he
has been engaged in public work of
varied sort, although much of the
time has been devoted to work in con-
nection with immigration. He was
with Senator Dillingham; when the
latter went to Europe as head of a
commission to study immigration and
has held responsible positions in that
line of activity.

Vanity, $4,000 and an Inkwell
(Stanstead, P. O.. Journal)

The differences between Governor
Hardness and the State Highway
Commissioner Stodda-d J. Bates,
came to a slight CT -1.2at:cn last
Thursday, the day fol wing the sec
ond public hearing upon House bill
222, the measure making the high
way commissioner an office chosen by
the assembly instead of being ap
pointed by the governor, as is now the
case.
Rumors and actual statements of
fact, say the governor claims that che
came to Montpelier intending to re-
appoint Mr.. Bates highway commits
sioner, but that he had been unable
to get any inform ton from the COM
missioner relative to the highway
problem, and that Mr.. Bates bore the
reputation throughout the state Of be-
ing uncommunicative and indepen-
dent"
Mr.. Bates upon hearing what the
governor was saying relative to his
(Mr. BatesO work, made arrange
ments for a conference with Governor
Hardness, and Mr.. Bates invited Sen
ator Cady of Addison county, man
Of unimpeachable character, formerly
Master of the State Grange, to ac-
company him. There were present in
the executive chamber at this parley,
Messrs. Bates and Cady, Gov. Hartness
and the secretary of civil and military
affairs.
Mr.. Bates evidently sought this in
terview to ascertain wherein he dis
pleased the governor, and he at once
asked when and how he had refused
the governor information. The four
men were sitting about the executive
lice table when Mr.. Bates asked this
question, the governor jumped to his
feet and picking up very heavy cut
class inkstand, stand that would
weigh from three to four pounds,
square block of cut glass with sharp
.orners, and swung back his arm to
throw the stand at Mr.. Bates, ex-
tanning: DO you call me liar ?"
Mr.. Wilcox, the secretary, and Mr..
ady spoke to the governor, saying,
:; You are forgetting yourself, COVER
ror," and he dropped his hand and
again reached for something else on
he table, and approached step near
: Mr. Bates but made no further
demonstrations of temper. The COM
missioner and Senator Cady then re-
ired without any further talk. Mr..
Bates was sitting in a chair at the
end of the table and in a position
where it would have been impossible
for him to dodge the missile if the
Governor had thrown it, and it doubt
less would have put him out Of bust
ness, possibly killed him.
Verv little has appeared in the state
press. Intimation has been made
that something of the kind occurred
but nothing definite has been given
out. Governor Hardness evidently
completely lost his mental balance for
the moment. This is another express
sion of the vanity that will permit a
man to spend 100000 for the gov
ernorship of Vermont.
