Our countys enormous and increasing debts, in bonds and
warrants, and the brazen methods of those who seem bent on
reckless waste of the Taxpayers funds, so aroused and alarmed
the people that they turned down with a bang the political gang
saers, whose stronghold and center of operations is the present
Temporary County Seat, and nominated a ticket pledged to
economy, honesty and faithfulness in office. These same voters
are keenly alive to the wisdom of not only electing that ticket but
following the big movement through. They say:

WANTS S-HOUR DAY
IN COTTON MILLS
Senator Moses Attempting to Make
Working Hours In South Same as
In New England.

WASHINGTON, April GA move to
aid New England textile mills. by equal
izing the hours of labor in southern and
northern mills was taken by Senator
Moses of New Hampshire yesterday,
who introduced bill calling for an
eight hour day in any factory whose
production OF wares enters into inter
state commerce. One OF the claims of
the mill owners during the present New
England textile strikes has been that
they cannot meet the demands of the
strikers because Of the southern compe-
tition, where factories can permit 81
0r 60 hour week.
Moses has used the wording of the
Adamson law in his measure in an ef-
fort to overcome any points of consti-
tutionality being raised against the bill
He introduced a similar measure in the
last congress- Last month union labor
leaders, of Manchester. \. H.. which is
affected by the textile strike. asked Sen
9tor Moses to introduce resolution in
asking an investigation of the
5trike. This the senator refused to do,
holding that it was not a federal matter,
and that furthermore such step would
not cure the trouble which was more
deep seated.

That the April freshet caused greater
damage to the island in the Connecticut
river opposite this village than was done
by any previous freshet in recent years,
also that more damage was done to the
Island Park pavilion than by any pre-
yious freshet except the one that took
off a part of the grandstand several
years ago, is shown today by the draw
ing down of the water at the Vernon
dam The water is being allowed to
flow through the food gates in order to
put fiashboards on the crest of the dam
to replace those which the high water
carried away.
On the west side of the island. just
north of the northwest corner of the
pavilion. a strip of land about 100 feet
long and 80 feet wide has been cut
away, leaving a perpendicular embank-
ment 10 feet high The washout hos
undermined the pier supporting the
northwest corner Of the building, and
the pier next east has been broken and
undermined.
This was due to the meeting at that
point of the main current of the river
with a current which flowed across tho
island from east to west around the
north end of the building. Numerous
large logs and a large quantity of debris
lodged against the east side of the grand
stand, piling up so high that ii formed
dam. contributed to the force
of the current around the end of the pa
vilion. Other logs lodged against the
north piers and caused damage.
