ARMY TRUCKS
PLOW THROUGH
8-F0OT DRIFTS
Fifty Soldiers Test Trans
portation Conditions from
Fl. Ethan Allen to St. J.

Eight weather-Stained trucks and
several automobiles arrived in St.
JohnsbuIy in the rain Saturday night
and parked on the school house
grounds on Summer street. 1t looked
like a section of the army of occupa-
ton. 1t was, in fact, an expedition
from Fort Ethan Allen to St. Johns
bury to test out transportation con-
diions and the possibilities of the
highways at this season of the year.
Major Hurd from, the Fort was in
charge OF the trip and about SO
soldiers were along in various capa
cites. Major Taylor of Boston accom-
panied the party for the purpose Of
taking observations for the govern
ment in regard to the result of the
trip.
This endurance test was a severe
one on the machines at this season of
the year. 1t did less damage to the
highways, however, than if it had
taken place after the snow was all
off and the frost out of the ground.

COUNTY AGENT
MAKES APPEAL
FOR CLEAN MILK
Mr.. Barnes Says Inferior
Product Reduces Price to

(By NJ. V. Barnes, County Agent
Cleanliness in milk production can
not be emphasized too strongly both
in respect to health of the consumer
and in profit to the producer. A great
many farmers do not realize that the
cleaner the milk they produce the
greater will be the profits from it.
This is especially true Of cooperative
plants in which the profits from the
sale of the products are divided

boris barn, has not said to himself
"I'm glad | don't have to eat any but

else would, but after it is taken to the
creamery and mixed with good
grade of milk from the farmer who
takes pains. the first obtains the same
price for his inferior product as the
latter. If each received for his milk a
price based on quality, it would be
more fai+-but as it is the man with

A high class finished product can
not be made without high class raw

into grades Extra, First, Seconds, and

each grade varies from three to five

FIREMAN IS
OVERCOME AT
JAIL BLAZE
Home of Sheriff WOrthen
Scene of Lively Early
Morning Fire

Hoseman John McGill was over
come by smoke and several others,
including Fire Chief Robert Johnston,
had narrow escapes in fire, which
partially destroyed the residence of
Sheriff Wilbur Worthen at the corner
Of Maple and Cherry streets, st.
Johnsbuly, early today The blaze,
which was an unusually spectacular
one, drew large crowd from all
parts of the town. The damage was
confined to the cellar, where it orr
ginatcd, and the sitting room just
over the basement, and is estimated
at 5000, covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
v orthen, who was aroused from her
sleep at o'clock by the smell Of
smoke. She awakened her husband
who rushed down stairs to the tele-
phone. The wires had been burnt,
however, and the phone had been put
out Of commission. Mr.. Worthen
then made his way to the street and
yelled for help. 1t was heard by Lo-
renzo A. Bieelow, who Immediately
telephoned the station house. Both
pieces of apparatus responded and
. general alarm from Box No. 4S
was sounded, calling out the volun-
teer hremen.
In the meantime the members of
the household, including Miss Maud
Clcary, Mrs. Annie Mack and Mrs.
Ducharme were aroused. So thickly
had the smoke settled over the house
that considerable excitement prevail
ed. After the house had been
emptied of its occupants Miss Cleary
remembered she had left a number of
valuables, including large sum of
money, in her room and in spite of
the danger she made her way upstairs
and so dense was the smoke she had
great difficulty in locating them. In
making her exit she was in imminent
danger of being overcome When she
reached the street she was suffering
greatly from the smoke but soon re-
covered herself.
After donning his mask, Fire Chief
Johnston made his way into the cellar
to investigate. After remaining less

the impossibilitv Of one man staying
n the basement any great length Of
time he ordered his men in by twos
with Instructions to remain only 30
seconds. Thus alternating it was
possible to fight the blaze with some
degree of success. Two lines of hose
were laid but only one could be safely
operated The chemicals were utilized
in stamping out the fire in the par
titions and beneath the floors. In just
two hours the fire was under control.
However, two firem-n were station
ed at the house until 7 o'clock this
morning as a protection against a fur

smoke and We're nearly overcome.
The smoke filled the Jail adjoining
the house and in view of the danger
Sheriff Worthen ordered the seven
prisoners to dress and be in readiness
to leave. 1t was not necessary, how
ever, to unlock their cells although
the smoke made it extremely uncom-

HANG SIX IRISH PRISONERS IN DUBLIN
WORKERS TO BE GIVEN
SHARE IN MANAGEMENT

CHICAGO, March 14-Armour &
Co., today called an election in all of
its plants for tomorrow for the eniA
ployees to form an industrial demo-
cracy in which workers and employ
ers would have equal representation
and would settle all questions of
wages, hours and working conditions.
The representative elected tomorrow
will form a temporary board which
will work out permanent plans. The
announcement of the packing com
pany said it was planned eventually
to have a plant conference board Of
three members selected from all
plants.
While awaiting the outcome Of
mediation plans and the result of a
strike vote employees in the packing
plants of Chicago and other centers
in the middle west, had decided to go
to work today under the reduced
wage schedule announced by the five
leading packers. More than 100000
men are affected by the reduction of
Is and II IL per cent in the hourly
rate and the piece work rate respec
lively with time and a half for over
time only after ten hours.
"Any assumption that we are at
tempting to establish a ten-hour day
is wrong" said a statement from Ar
noun and Company today in answer
to charges of union leaders. "The
whistle in the Armour plant will con-
tinue to blow at the end of eight
hours work each day" At mass
meetings held in half dozen packing
cities yesterday the workers were ad
vised to remain at work until the
strike vote was completed which, it
was said, here would be about Fri
GaY.
