Deterioratory Train Service.

The hope that had been entertained
by the people of this section for an i'm
provement in the train service on The
Missisquoi Valley division is gradually
dssolving. Instead of growing any
better, it is steadily growing worse,
and it is hardly an exaggeration to say
that the present service is worse than
lit was half century ago. The people
of this section are entitled to bet
ter service, their interests demand and
warrant it, and the Standard does not
believe that they are Obliged to sub
nit to the miserable parody on a train
service that is now in operation.
As far as passenger, mail and express
service on the Missisquoi line is con-
cerned it cannot otherwise be described
than demoralized, and If it Is beyond
repair, then certainly the railroad has
outlived its usefulness as common
carrier and is on the way to the junk
pile.
Fifty years ago tbe towns OF Frank
lin county bonded to build the
Misssquoi Valley road, and during
that period the people have taxed
themselves to pay the indebtedness
then assumed. II has provided a
transportation service that up to now
has answered the needs and kept pace
with the growth and development of
the county. If it has become obsolete
and nothing better than the present
service is to be hoped for. either
through reforms voluntarily instituted
by the railroad management itself or
through pressure from the public serv-
ice commission. then il is up to the
people TO turn to the matter Of de-

CURRENT COMMENT
The Child with a Cold.

The health commissioner of the
Evanston, ILL.,, public schools has or
dered all teachers to send home pu-
pills having headache or acute cold. 1t
is a plan that is being used to good
effect elsewhere, even where no such
standing order obtains. 1t Is 4 plan
that would raise the health and at
tendance average Of any school.
1t has been pointed out many times
that the ordinary cold in itself is a
communicable disease which should be
prevented from getting worse or
spreading, and that it may be the frst
symptom of some more serious all
ment. Acute headache in its turn oft
en- is the advance guard of grave dis
orders. The child's welfare demands
that he be kept isolated and given
suitable treatment SO that his illness
may pass quickly. The welfare Of his
mates demands that they shall not be
exposed to whatever ailment he may
have caught
Many parents do not know enough
about sanitation to keep the child
with unfavorable symptoms at home
and under treatment, so the teacher
should be empowered to send him
there with instructions to stay until
he is we'll
Instruction in disease prevention is
becoming as much function Of the
public school as lessons in the three
Rs. Rutland Herald.

KEEPING UP THE MORALE OF
THE MINES.

The fate Of the AZ miners who went
down into the Argonaut gold mine in
jackson, California, and who never
came forth again following the out
break of fire in the mine, was definite
ly settled after more than three weeks
of feverish activity on the part of So
called rescue crews. 1t was deter
mined without much question that
one and all of the men persisted within
few hours after being imprisoned
and, therefore, before they had come
to realize the pangs of hunger and
the first indications of starving to
death. 1t was determined, too, with
out much question that their deaths
were brought about through an
agency, which was merciful in its OPP

with an English church minister and
his wife, was in or near swimming
pool when the slide occurred, hurting
parts of several buildings into the
pool. The minister was killed and
his wife was injured. The boy at

thought him lost. II was found that
after q period of Inconsistencies he
had staggered TO home and had been
cared for and surgeon summoned
who took many stitches to close
wounds in his scalp and back. He
was doing well several days later
when the letter was written.

Miss Edna L. Beard won a notable
success in landing the nomination for
the Orange county senatorship in a
very close contest with one of the
strongest and best men in the
county. A margin Of only a few
votes finally landed her on the
right side after the early fig
nres gave the place to her oppo-
nent. The parties who circulated the
report during the canvass that Miss
Beard had withdrawn expressed their
wish, rather than their certain knowl-
edge. She win prove the same quiet.

sense member Of the Senate that she
did of the House.-Randolph Herald
and News.
1t is worth noting, too, that Miss
Beard won the nomination in an "off''
year for the west side of Orange coun-
ty. The west side had the senator
two years ago and the east side nat
urally was looking for the nomination
this year. Miss Boards splendid rec
ord in the House two years ago coun-
terbalanced the mountain rule of
the county, as well as the undoubted
strength of the east side candidate;
and without making any extended
canvass Miss Beard was returned the
nominee of the county, although by a
close vote.

SPOFFORD
IN DRUG CASE
Gives Self Up to County De-

To be Freed

Harold Spofford. of Gordon street,
arrested here some months ago
charged with larceny of a quantity
of drugs from a Hall avenue store
and recently released from an Essex
county institution by the federal au-
thorities, was taken into custody by
County Detective William Fftspat-
rick last night and removed to the
county Jail at New Brunswick. The
charge of stealing drugs will be
pressed by the county authorities, 1t
is understood.
Spofford has only been hcme short
time and when he heard he was
wanted by the authorities here he
went to the police station, called up
the prosecutors ONCE and announc-
his return. He made an appoint
ment with Detective Fitzpatrick and
met him at Smith and State streets.

but Spofford gave himself up volun-
Bail is to be fixed today and
Spofford will probably be released
to await trial.
The drug robbery took place as the
result of a ruse worked successfully
by two men. They appeared in the
drug store and bought adhesive
tape. One of the men complained
of a sore foot and asked permission
to go into the o of the store to
the injured member. Once in
the rear of the place the clerk was
to the front of the store by
the companion, who took a long

Meanwhile one of the men

THEATRES

Good Variety Program at Crescent
Compared with Prairie Trails"
the new production in which Tom
Mix opens an engagement at the
Crescent theatre today, most west
ern motion pictures are "parlor
stuff" Here is a story crammed
with action and thrills. with a lead
ing actor capable of all the hair
raising stunts that the scenario calls
fof.
Tom Mix is a marvel on horse
back. but it is a remarkable fact
that many of his most startling
feats are independent of his skill
in horsemanship. Witness his great
leap over a cliff in Prairie Trails"
The cliff is at least 40 feet high.
Three men are struggling at the
bottom. Tom Mix. instead of mere
ly jumping off the cliff or climbing
down its face-which would give
the men time TO prepare for him
actually dives over head-first, land
up in time to rout his adversaries
by the sheer shock of surprise. And
this is not the most daring exploit
in the picture.
The vaudeville program consists
of the following high class Broad
way acts: Cordini & Company. a
splendid musical act; Benton &
Clark. in a pleasing variety act:
Rougles Trio, juvenile wonders, an
act you will surely want to see;
Knox Wilson & Caddie, the famous
comedian assisted by Miss Caddie,
this act will give you a laugh a min
ute; Girard & Perez, novelty perch
