PRAISES SPECIMENS
OF BOYS PRINTING
Inland Printer Comments on Samples of
Work Done by Pioneer Printers
Club of BrattIe.J0y3.

Good work done by the Pioneer
Printers club of Brattleboro is recog-
nized in the April number of the In
land Printer as follows:
Robert V. Simonds, Brattleboro, Vt.
is president of the Pioneer Printers
club of Young boys between the ages of
IA and 16 who, under the guidance of
Franklin z. Sears. of the Vermont
Printing Co. are learning a lot about
the art preservative of all arts. Judg-
ing from the specimens sent US, which
were set by the boys but printed by the
regular employees of the company named
above, the club has made great progress
already and it has been in existence less
than year. The leafiet containing the
roster of members and officers. the meet
ing night and other information regard
ing the club, IS one of the most pleas
ing examples of Caslon Typography we
have seen this month. Another inter
eSting specimen is q card set in Chelten-
ham Bold announcing the exhibit of the
club made at the Valley fair during Sep
tember, which shows the boys are wide
awake. 1t seems to the writer that
boys printing clubs such as this afford
a great opportunity to keep boys out of
mischief by providing them. with educa-
tional amusement and the opportunity
to learn things that win be helpful to
them, no matter what vocation they
later settle upon. There is no business
under the sun of which a general knowl-
edge is of as much value in other lines
as the printing business

APRIL MEETING OF
MINISTER'S MONDAY
Rev. DR. BrowneH breaches Sermon -
Rev. Mr.. Chayer Presents Subject
for Discussion

The April meeting of the Brattleboro
Ministerial union was held on Monday
at the Unitarian parsonage. with the fol-
lowing members in attendance: Messrs.
Brownell, Chayer, Osgood, Wood, and
Woodwork of West Brattleboro.
Mr.. WoodwOrth was chosen moderator
and opened the meeting with prayer.
After a brief period spent in the discus
sion of recent books and magazine arti
cies, Mr.. Brownell preached a sermon
full of helpful and practical suggestion
on The Function of Memory in the Life
from Day to Day. God means that our
memories should inspire and strengthen
US in our journey through life, enabling
us to live more happily and with a deeper
interest in all spiritual values than
otherwise would be possible. In the i'm
pressive words of the Psalmist, "These
things / remember and pour out my soul
within me-" Hence experience, rather
than experiment. Is found to be a safer
guide for those intent upon following in
the Masters footsteps
The subject for discussion, presented
by Mr.. Chayer, was Socialism and Chris
tianity, an always interesting problem
though somewhat difficult to solve in its
many and often conflicting relations The
speaker in a few words gave the history
of the Socialistic movement, referring es-
pecially to the works of Karl Marx. then
pointed out the ways in which members
of Christian churches might be of aid to
the adherents of this movement with its
non-religious basis. All took part in the
conference. towards which the presenta-
tion of this vital theme led the way but
expressed the belief that for socialism to
do the greatest good in the world it must
be brought nearer to the teachings and
examples of Christ.
The meeting closed with prayer by Mr..
Wood

FARM HELP Is PLENTY.
Farmers Getting Along with Less on Ac-
count of Low Prices.

BOSTON. April 1I.-An abundance of
labor available for farm work in New
England at current wages was reporte
Yesterday by the Wakefield Office of the
federal bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates.
However. E" the report added, - it ap-
pears that farmers in view of low
prices and various uncertainties, are
getting along with minimum of hired
help. Compared with the normal de-
mand for farm labor the percentages are;
Maine 94 New Hampshire 100. Vermont
%, Massachusetts 81, Rhode Island IS,
Connecticut "a.
New England textile and shoe in
dustries have slowed down due to labor
disturbances and ether uncertainties.
This condition is unfavorable TO New
England agriculture through limiting
buying power of consuming populations.
. Higher prices for western feeds and
grains, and an excess production of milk
with lowering prices for it, present a
situation calling for clear vision and
sound marketing plans by New England
dairymen.

BELOW. THE SAD ACCOUNT OF
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF A FA-
NOUS AUTOMOBILE DEALER.

Baron Mmchausen Meets Tragic Death.
just after one of the most severe biz
yards in history the Baron determined on
demonstrating the unequalled superiority
of the car of which he was agent, so he
started on n trip for that purpose. After
having traversed several snow-clad noun
tainS he came at last to a gorge where
the road was entirely buried under an i'm
mense drift of snow. Despairing of sur
mounting this obstacle he conceived the
idea of bucking the drift in hopes that he
might force his way through. and after
repeated efforts he at last drove Q tunnel
entirely through the drift and emerged
unharmed on the other side.
His delight was so great at this unpar-
alleled performance that he could not
proceed without returning TO view the
tunnel he had driven. 50 he stopped the
ear and returned on foot for a close in
spectiOn. On entering the tunnel the
spectacle of this great engineering feat
inspired him to an extemporaneous song
of praise of the car and such was the
fervor of his utterance that he was lost
in a rhapsody of fanatical eloquence, ex-
hausting his vocabulary of what is
usually termed hot air The release of
this invaluable adjunct to a successful
automobile sales service in such volume
caused a melting of the walls of the tun-
mel and in the collapse of the first auto
mobile driven tunnel so far recorded the
Baron suffered a tragic death
At the liquidation of the Baron's estate

the name of the car the Baron so ably
handled. was bought by the HASKELL
GARAGE. INC. and while the original
car the pioneer tunnel driver. was never
recovered yet the doctors prescription
was not lost and so duplicates have been
made and may be had by anyone for the

Edftor of The Reformer

Editor of The Reformer:
Our purpose in writing this is to cor
rect an impression given by your paper
yesterday Lester Haywood rendered his
resignation as baseball manager to the
school that morning According to your
report. the school showed a decided Oppo-
sition to the rule prohibiting managers
TO smoke.
We are opposed to accepting Hey
woods resignation, but we did not make
any criticism whatever of the rule forbid
ding managers to smoke. This motion
was made: "That we refuse to accept
Mr.. Heywood'S resignation as baseball
manager" The school voted to retain
the present manager.
This we believe TO be a more juStihable
report than the one given yesterday.
Yours truly,

WATER RISING IN

Now Foot and Half Higher Than Flood
Tide of 1921 at Vernon Danl-Four
Feet at Island Park

At noon today nine feet and FIVE inches
of water was flowing over the crest of
the Connecticut River Power company's
dam at Vernon. This is 10 inches more
than was flowing at the same time yester-
day and is one foot and FIVE inches more
than flowed over the dam in the highest
flood tide of 1921
Island Park is under four feet of
water which flows diagonally across the
center of the island. The water is within
two feet of the pavilion flooring and
within three feet of the road level. The
river is still rising.
Much of the snow which remained from
the heavy storm of few days seemed to
fade away yesterday under the mystic
riouS spell of warm wave which sent
the thermometer up to 81 degrees. The
temperature had a similar effect on over
coats and heavy sweaters.
