The Meddler feels like reiterating the
hope he expressed last week that the
town authorities will see the wisdom of
cooperating in the proposed Vernon
street improvements to the extent of put
ting in concrete highway as far south
freight station is to extend No one can
deny the need of such a road surface.
The only question seems to be whether
the work shall be done now or next year.
The Meddler is convinced that it would
be to the financial advantage of The town,
as well as distinct public improvement,
TO have the construction done in connec-
ton with the railroad work.

moved far more quickly and scientifically,
usually retains its original flavor and is
not so likely to be tough when cooked.
In the case of milk there is a flavor diff
ferent from either the fresh or condensed
milk, but nearer the former than the
latter. The dehydrated corn is said to
taste not at all like canned corn but
like sweet corn freshly roasted in the
ear.
The advantages of these new processes.
in economy of manufacture and trans
portation and in convenience to the con-
sumcr on the whole are very great. They
enable the public, as Mr.. Noel suggests,
to have fresh fruits and vegetables at
reasonable cost all the year round or at
least they will when the methods have
been perfected and the market estab-
lished.

Several upstate papers have suggested
the idea of forming a circuit of winter
sports carnivals in Vermont, the scheme
being dependent, of course, on the organ
ization of local clubs in the various com
,munities Brattleboro came to the fore
last season IN winter sports through the
combined efforts of Community Service
and the Outing club, and it could join
a state circuit without the slightest fear
of competition in the most spectacular of
all cold-weather diversions. namely ski
jumping. No matter how many clubs
are formed in Vermont it is conserva-
tive wager that none of them will possess
ski-jump as good as the one here on
which the eastern amateur record was
broken last winter

Turner's Falls, Millers Falls and Mon
tague residents are much disturbed be-
cause the receiver of the Connecticut Val
ley Street Railway company has been
given authority by the supreme judicial
court of Massachusetts to discontinue
service over the Millers Falls branch of
the company's lines. To secure this de
cree the receiver produced evidence that
from July to Aug 10. the receipts Of
this branch were $6S6.32, while the three
items of labor, power and maintenance
amounted to $S61.12 and this at sea
son when the line ought to be producing
its greatest revenue. One of the causes
of the discontinuance, it is said, is the
recent action of the Montague school
board in arranging with a jitney pro-
prietor to transport about 90 pupils of
that village to the Millers Falls high
school.

hunters should not forget when the bird
season opens in October.
The Franklin county correspondent of
a Boston paper is authority for the s q
ment that several of the striking shop
men in the Boston & Maine yards at East
DeerfeId have sought employment in
other occupations pending the outcome of
their walk-out, some of them displacing
men in other occupations by taking jobs
at reduced pay. He cites well anthem
ticated case of a striker getting a job
driving a truck for $40 week and board,
thereby ousting licensed chauffeur who
had been getting $25 week for the work.
This illustrates one of the inconsistent
cies of unionism. Here are men leaving
their work in protest against wage re-
duction and yet apparently having no
scruples against breaking the labor
market in another trade.
1t is possible. of course, that these
shopmen like many others throughout
the east held no pronounced convictions
on the issues leading up to the strike and
would have continued at work If they
could have followed their inclinatiors-
If that is the case, their willingness to
displace workers in other trades rather
than loaf may be understood, although
their attitude is none the less inconsistent.
Scarcely any effect of the rail strike has
been noticeable locally, but in discussion
of it there has been pronounced lack of
sympathy with the strikers even among
classes who might be expected to take a
favorable view Of their side. In fact.
since the outrageous action of the operat
ing brotherhood members in abandoning
passenger trains in the western deserts
public sympathy has veercd strongly to
the side of the railroads.
