During the month Of December 1921
there we're prepared in the office Of
DIR. A ]. DeFossett, State Inspector Of
Animal Industry at Montpelier, and
forwarded to Washington, ID. c., for
payment 223 federal indemnity claims
for tuberculosis cattle slaughtered in
accordance with State regulations.
The number Of cattle covered by the
claims was ,094, and the total Of the
indemnity claimed was S20,lsa.o4,
The State department Of agriculture
paid approximately the same amount
as its proportion on this number OF
cattle slaughtered. Under the new
State law which became effective June
j, 1921, owners Of tuberculosis cattle
condemned and slaughtered as a re-
suit Of the tuberculin test, receive one
third the difference between the APP
praisd value of the animal and its sal
wage value, and in addition they re-
ceived the salvage money. Payment is
limited to S25 for each grade animal
and $50 for each pure-bred animal
Consequently, the owner OF siaught-
cred animal can receive no more than
$50 from the State and federal gov
ernments for grade and 500 for a
pure-bred as indemnity These hg-
ures hold under the State and federal
laws irrespective of the fact that an
animal may have been appraised az
$3.50. Indemnity claims cannot be
computed until statement has been
presented to the State and federal de-
partments showing the amount of sal
wage the owner received from the

Hawaiian legend and history
provide the other side Of the
story. the connection between
the Kau desert tracks and the
flight Of the army OF Keoua, king
OF Kau, from Pele's wrath.
Keoua led an army Of three
divisions against King Kameha-
meha. who later united all the
Hawaiian islands under his
sway, IN the year 1890 This
year also recorded the last ex-
plosive eruption OF Kilauea.
Hawaiian legend records the
fact that some OF Keoua's war
riors rolled stones into Kilauea
crater 20 mark their disrespect
for the goddess OF the molten
lake. Whatever the reason for
the outburst, Pele rose I'm her
wrath and, with terrific ex-
plosiye eruption, totally wiped
out the second division OF
Keoua's army.
The footprints found In the
Kau desert are believed TO be
those Of men OF the first dlvi-
sion, who, seeing the destruc-
tlon Of their comrades IN the
rear. fed from the locality. The
third division, coming up, saw
the bodies of the annihilated
second and halted.
The area I'm which the foot
prints were discovered is part
OF the new Kilauea national
park. which will be dedicated
this year, and steps have al
ready been taken TO inclose the
tracks and preserve them.

The attempt 20 connect the unem-
ployed in this State with opportunities
for work is being carried forward in
many Of the larger communities under
subcommittee. Of the Vermont Com
mittee Of Public Safety. II is expect
ed that these communities will be ade-
quately cared for and that the number
Of unemployed will be reduced TO a
minimum. The subcommittee on adj
ministration and cooperation, which
began the work is headed by Freder-
iok II. Rabbit Of Bellows Falls. Mas
on S. Stone Of Montpelier is secre-
tary. The method adopted by the sub
committee is simple and operative.
The president Of the Chamber Of Com
merce or Board Of Trade in each OF
the larger communities OF the State
has been requested TO appoint sur
vey committee Of five or more mem
bers to canvass in search OF continu-
Gus work or temporary jobs. The
commander Of the local American
Legion post in each Of these commun-
tiles is requested to appoint a service
committee which canvasses TO learn OF
those seeking work. The purpose OF
creating this cooperation system is
not necessarily charity, but accommo-
dation. The service committees are
not discriminating between ex-service
men and others. The aim Of the who'll
plan is to accommodate both those
seeking employment and employers as
well.

"My wife gained twenty-eight

WOMEN FOR COUNTY OFFICES

Women are candidates everywhere
for county offices and strange to sny
the offices which they seem to choose
are those OF auditor and recorder.
The county auditor holds one OF the
most responsible offices In the coun-
~, requiring nm accounting OF un-
usual ability and II would naturally
seem that women would not seek Il
but they do. In most cases the can
d.dates are deputies who have serv-
cd number OF years and know their
Jobs. When women were first Civ
en- the school vote. II was supposed
that on small board where the Of
ficers were chosen from the members
that women would be the secretaries
brt In most states women were treas
urers. not secretaries. Theory and
practice are not one and the same. A
man with no knowledge Of figures
makes a better secretary than treas
urer. and . woman with an adaptable
ity for flxues makes better trcas-
urer than secretary.

LESS THAN MONTH 10
I. s OPENING OF COUNTY FAIR

x As the dates set, for the Phillips
County Fair are rapidly approach
ing, the plans have matured until
there is no longer any doubt hut
that the fair will be the biggest in
the history Of the enterprise, as weH
as one Of. the best in the state.
All possible contingencies have
been taken into account, and the
spectator is sure to be pleased with
the large portions Of pure, unadul-
terated enjoyment which will be
dished up for his edification.
Almost everyone likes a good horse
race, and that's just the reason the
management has lined up the best
possible horse racing program. And
the fact that they are getting re-
suits is demonstrated by the fact
that the best horcss in Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Colorado arc
being entered in the various events.
The purses offered are real ones,
and the people managing the races
are live ones, so there is no chance
for anything bdt big, fast, interest
ing races.
A ten-mile auto race, with three
hundred bucks in prizes can't b
found at every county fair. That's
just the reason that the manage
ment is being swamped Nth demands
for contracts from the auto raosts
all over the country. One man has
three cars that he wants to entsr,
every one of them speed demons,
for he figures that one. Of them =
bound to win. Z
I Don't forget that this is an aesi-
cultural fair, and that the walls ahd
exhibit stands are going to be plast-
cred and stacked with better grains,
vegetables and such like than You
ever thought could grow on the best
three hundred dollar land you ever
heard Of. The live stock that is to
be placed on exhibition will be .
revelation, and much Of that which
will be shown in Phillips .couuty y
