Get Thirteen Months.

Misoula, April 15.-Fred Violette
and Peter Moret, convicted yesterday
of running an illicit still on the for
mer's ranch west of town, were SEN
fenced in the federal court today to
13 months Imprisonment each at
Fort Leavenworth and fines of $500
each were imposed. A stay of 30 days
was granted by the court on the de-
Tense signifying it's intention to ask
for new trial or an appeal. The de-
fense of the men was that they were
manufacturing vinegar.
Much interest was taken in this
case, as the still was discovered just
a few weeks before the November
election and Violette was a candidate
for county treasurer. His name was
not withdrawn from the ticket.

Although generally given credit for
being thrifty, Vermont people do not
bank their money so we'll as the people
in three other New England states.
Oddly enough, Massachusetts stands
at the head of the New England divi-
sion, as well as Of the entire United
States, with 81 per cent Of its popuia-
tion as depositors in the savings banks
Of that state. Our sister state Of New
Hampshire. with which Vermont hss
much in common as TO habits. makes
far better showing than Vermont,
with IS per cent of its population as
depositors. while Connecticut is also
much ahead of Vermont with 81 Ger
cent. Vermont comes fourth in the
New England division with 80 per
cent, closely followed by Maine with
81 per oent and Rhode Island with p
per cent. We in Vermont have some
thing to work for to get anywhere
near Massachusetts in this respect.

Parents and Cooperation.

The Bellows Falls Times suggests
the following resolutions to parents
with children in school.
Il will visit the schools attended by
my children at least once every term.
Il will make the acquaintance of the
several teachers and viii enquire after
the progress my children are making,
giving praise where it seems deserved
and not sparing criticism when war
ranted.
In the home 7 win give at least
as much attention to my daughters
studies as | do the designing of her
gown for the next dance.
Il will attend town meeting and en-
deavor to get informed on what the
school board is doing with the money
taken from me by due process of law
and labelled school tax
From now | will endeavor 70 be
real parent in the home and a real
citizen in the community"
There is a natural but dangerous
tendency on the part Of latter day par
ents to welcome the beginning of
school-days for the reason that il
means they will get the children of
their hands However natural that
feeling may be, it does not square with
the best American and New England
ideals
The average parent to-day is too apt
TO ''let George do IL" when it comes to
the school life Of bis children. They are
fast enough to criticize the teacher
when their darlings come under disci.
pline They kick hard enough when
they have TO pay the bills for the
schools. If the children are not pro-
NOTED as fast a. they think they
should be. some parents don't hesitate
to alleEe favoritism and other things
What they do not do is to find out
what the children are studying. how
much home study Is necessary and
then take steps to see that 70 Is done.
Also, they very seldom visit the /
school or confer with the teacher. 50 1

Trough and Ready"

Rough and ready" an expression
commonly applied to persons who are
willing, capable and efficient, but some
what uncouth in their methods, has an
origin in no way discernible from the
phrase itself
In Wellington's army, during the
battle of Waterloo was an intrepid
colonel whose name was Rough. His
first name does not appear in the avail
able records.
Wellington selected Rough for haz.
ardous task that required not only
courage but promptness as well. The
colonel cheerfully accepted the detail
and acknowledging his quick response,
the duke said
Rough and ready"
Col. Rough was SO pleased with the
compliment from the Duke of Yelling
ton that he adopted the phrase as his
family motto Later it became a slogan
in the British army, and finally found
its way into every day language

England sentiment by statewide or
local balloting is also desirable in or

demand.
Steps ought to be taken at once, if
there is any likelihood of daylight

eddy just what effect the imposition
of the system has on the various sec

vision. 1t ought to be determined
whether the double system of opera
ton does not work an undue hardship
in tight little section of the coun-
try which is more or less bound up
with itself and which ought, accord
ingly, to work in as nearly complete
harmony as possible. As result OF
such an investigation it can, perhaps,
be determined what is the best course
to pursue another year. By all means,
such an investigation ought to be con-
lucted; and it is none too early to start
IN to find out the sentiment of the
various parts of New England regard
ng the matter.

MARSHFTELD
Community Sunday a Great Success,
Services Largely Attended.

Community Sunday was great day
in Marshfeld, the attendance at al
the services exceeding the expectation:
of even the most sanguine, while the
able addresses given by the speakers OF
the day furnished profitable food for
morning service, held in the Method
list church, was in charge of the pastor,
| Rev. f. i. Currier, and demonstrated
us he said, chat it is possible to fill
a church even if it does take two towns
and four churches to do it," The audi
ence numbered nearly $50, making it
necessary to bring in additional chairs.
The preliminary service was par
ticipated in by the four ministers pres
ent and the choir rendered an especial
ly fine anthem, after which Rev. A. w.
Hewitt, pastor of the NJ f. church Of
Plainfeld, preached very impressive
Christ, come down from the cross"
AT the noon hour, picnic lunch was
enjoyed in the vestry below, where
hot coffee was served by the ladies'.
AT / p. M, meeting for men and
boys was held in X. of P hall and was
presided over by Rev Arthur Broth
erston, pastor of the Congregational
church. The band was present and
played several appropriate selections.
Rev. A. w. Hewitt, in his usual able
manner, again addressed the men on
the topic, "Their Relationships in
Life Fully 100 attended this service
and an equal number were present at
the meeting for women and girls held
in the Congregational church at ? p.
M, with Mrs. Brotherston presiding.
The Pythian ladies' quartet very efFec-
lively rendered an arraa cement of the
familiar hymn, abide With Me" The
original plan was to have a lady adj
dress this assembly, but failing to find
one available those in charge were
most fortunate in securing Rev. John
G. Prince, pastor of the Congregational
church of Waterbury, who gave an ex-
interesting and inspiring
discourse on "A Bigger and Better
Town" This was fitting climax to
day full of worth while things and the
people dispersed TO their various homes
feeling that it had indeed been good
for them to meet together and voicing
the sentiment that more OF such gath
erings in future would be beneficial

While it may not be represented by
a championship football team, New
port is assuming metropolitan fea-
lures rapidly when its fire department
is called to extinguish three fires stimuli
taneously, as happened one day last
week. 1t speaks well for the efficiency
of the fire department that no one of
the three fires occasioned serious losses
albeit considerable property was threat
ened. Every fire department has to
contemplate the possibility of being
called simultaneously for two or more
fires, and the heads Of departments
probably have mapped out plans in ad-
vance in order to meet such an emer-
gency.
