BOOZE, AUTOMOBILE
AND MAN CAUGHT
Woman Also Connected With HOOch
Outfit Captured at Richmond
Have 1z5 Quarts Aboard

BURLINGTON, May I6.-The cap
ture OF l75 quarts of whiskey which had
barely made its entrance into the coun-
try, together with a man and woman
and the motor car in which they were
transporting the contraband liquor, was
made yesterday morning at Richmond
by James +. Kennedy, collector of in
ternal revenue. The persons in the car
were Louis CurrIe, p years old, of Bed
ford, p. O., and Mamie Riley, % years
old, of Stanbridge. Canada.
Mamie told the officers when she and
her companion were brought to the Chit
tenden county Jail that she and her
companion left Stanbridge about )
o clock yesterday morning. She was
unable to say where she and Currie
were headed for and declared that she
a load OF liquor. She accounted for
her presence in the car by saying that
she accepted an invitation of Currie
to take a ride.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning the booze car was seen in Es-
sex Junction and Collector Kennedy,
who was on the street, noticed that the
machine bore a Quebec registration
plate and that the automobile appeared
to be heavily loaded. He obtained a car
and a companion and trailed the Cana
dian car to Richmond where the ma
chine was found parked near the hotel.
Currie and Miss Riley were found re-
freshing themselves with breakfast in
the hosiery.
The man and woman lost their appe-
title when Collector Kennedy explained
that they were under arrest. The out
fit was brought to this city and the
| liquor taken possession of by Collector
Kennedy.
Louis and Mamie went to Jail to
await the call of the federal authorities
when they win be charged with trans
porting liquor contrary to the Nolstead
act 1t is said that this is the largest
quantity of whiskey captured in this
| section in some time.

Something to- j
Think About
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF. A. Walker
ByF. A. Walker

L VERY man and woman should
IL have budget. Their should be
a businesslike apportionment, of what
you earn, TO your needs and your
tastes.
You will have to assign so much to
rent. 1t used to be % per cent in
the ordinary income. Now it averages
more.
There viii have to be an allowance
for food and clothing, for the doctor
and the dentist, for amusement and
pleasure, for necessary travel and for
unnecessary extravagances, for we all
have our extravagances.
All these things will be promptly
listed and thoroughly looked after.
We shall probably be particularly lib
eral with those items which mean the
least in the sum total of human hap
piness.
The last thing that will be thought
about, and the most scanty allowance
will be made for it, will be the devel-
Opment and betterment of our minds.
How much money did you spend last
year on worthwhile books-bOoks you
are keeping to read a second time
books that added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable TO think
about?
How much time did you spend in
filing your mental storehouse with
facts useful in daily life and valuable
in your daily work?
Did you spend as much for informa-
ton as you did for gasoline?
If you were to add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge,
would it be half the time that you
spent dancing?
Do you consider that MONEY is the
only thing you spend?
TIME is your much greater asset.
You can earn more money.
You cannot, with all the wealth of
all the universe, in all the ages, buy
one minute of time nor bring back for
another and a better use a wasted
hour.
Lord RzGugham, a man who spent
his tiGoe wisely and proftably, wrote
down this short sentence filed with
good advice: Read something of
everything. and everything of some
thing"
There is no excuse for any man,
woman or child past twelve years
spending less than half an hour a day
with a good book.
Reading carefully and THOUGHT,
FULLY you will cover not less than $50
words a minute. That is $500 words
day. ONE MILLION SIX HUN
DRIED AND FORTYTWO THOU
| SAND WORDS A YEAR. How much
wiser do you think you would be If
you did that%for only one year?
knowledge is the freest, the most in
| expensive thing in the world, and we
think less of it than of anything else.
Stop making a pet of your stomach.
Stop worrying about your clothes.
Give up some of the useless things
| upon which you spend and waste your
| time and your money.
Make up a budget of your earnings
and your hours that shall have in it
a liberal allowance for your mind, for
your intelligence, for your thinking
| powers.
What you have inside your head
no robber can get, no Ponzi can trans
fer to his pockets. Not even old age
| can destroy it, and perhaps not even
death can take it away from you.
Be generous with your mind. Feed
| 1t. NourIsh 1t. Care for ~ It IS
the one part of you that really mat
| tiers, the one thing upon which you
should spend lavishly and continu-
| ously.
