The little book of poems by Rev.
W. E. Baker of Morrisville, entitled
"Stray Thoughts," is a distinct addi
tion to the recent publications by
Vermont authors. Mr. Baker's verse
throughout is strong and beautiful, as
are his spoken words and the Moni
tor sees in his future a career of un
usual accomplishments.
The people of Vermont look to Gov
ernor Graham and the present legis
lature to retrench where possible, and
one of the possible retrenchmnts is
beginning at home a short session.
The people expect much from this
body of men and the administration
and the Monitor believes they will
have their expectations met.
The Monitor is convinced that
many of those editors who are dis
cussing the Raridolph-Vail agricul
tural school issue as raised by the re
port of .the trustees have never vis
ited the Randolph plant, much less the
Vail school. There is all the differ
ence between the two that there is
between a French coach horse and a
general purpose Morgan.
The Monitor heartily approves of
the Christmas savings clubs adver
tised by the savings banks. It pro
vides a systematic method of laying
aside a little money for a time when
ready money is needed for the ob
servance of a wrorld-wide custom of
dispensing Christmas cheer . to one's
neighbors, relatives and friends. It
also tends to fasten that useful habit
of saving upon one. Let the saving
of money for a specific object or as a
habit grow with the young people.
The Barton Monit-r makes a strong
plea for the promotion of Judge Miles
to the supreme co-art bench. Judire
Miles is a man of large legal experi
ence an experience gained by a long
law practice and several years on the
superior bench. This would well fit
him for the promotion. The only ob
jection we hear to his advancement
is his age. Hyde Park News & Citi
zen. The Monitor never heard the fel
lows who follow the Judge on any of
his many famous fox hunts make any
such objections.
The sportsmen in Orleans county
very generally, and we believe the
same will hold true of the hunters of
the other northern counties, believe
the open deer season should come
earlier in the fall. The weather con
ditions this year were more severe
than usual but it is no exception to
have deep snow and very uncomforta
ble weather after Nov. 15 and espe
cially by the 5th of December, when
the season closes. The Monitor un
derstands that there is no call for
. making the hunting season at a time
when there is no snow and before the
fall rains make fire conditions in the
forests safe, but setting . the season
ahead about 15 days would please a
very large number of loyal sportsmen
and would not injure the season for
the south end of the state, nor make
the forest fire a great danger. It
would seem to the Monitor to be a
happy medium between the former
season of the last days of October
and the present season of the last of
November.
Need of a Lantern Law.
Connecticut secured a law requir
ing lights on vehicles used at night
only after some months of agitation,
and Vermont is having the same
i trouble. The law was not at first
generally observed in Connecticut,
but drivers of horses finally came to
see that it was a matter of self-preservation,
and began to buy lanterns
for travel after dark. The Vermont
legislature will be asked again to en
act a lantern law, and common sense
demands that it be put through with
out further delay. Woodstock Elm
Tree Monthly.
Geese Fooled by Light.
Geese are fattened for market in
Austria by confining them in a dark
room to which light is admitted 10 cr
15 times a day. Whenever the light
is on the geese think it Is meal time.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Mann Not the Man.
Augustus P. Gardner's . outburst
against the Republican House leader,
James R. Mann, is probably entirely
justified by the facts. If some had
started the move we should have sus
pected them of a little cold-blooded
ambition. But Mr. Gardner has ever
stood very nearly for what he thought
was right, and those who know him
best his constituents in Essex coun
ty, Massachusetts continue year by
year to translate this belief into votes
when they send him back to congress
on a vote usually of three or four to
one. Mr. Mann has shown pro-German
tendencies which, as his constit
uency is largely German, leads us to
believe that, as Mr. Gardner charges,
he follows usually the dictates of ex
pediency rather than the dictates of
principle. Mr. Gardner is sincere and
progressive; Mr. Mann is sometimes
not inconveniently sincere, and, al
though he has done much good work,
he is too closely allied with the reac
tionary interests to lead a disrupted
party to victory. Burlington News.
School Money.
The Rutland News complains be
cause the city of Rutland pays so
much more into the state school fund
than it takes out. Is this not a pretty
narrow way to look at it? Rutland
is a. rich city and without the help
from its more fortunate neighbors
many small towns would have diffi
culty in maintaining good schools.
From a purely commercial stand
point the argument of the News will
not stand reason. Rutland merchants
draw large volumes of trade from the
surroundnig towns, all of which
means a larger grand list for the city.
Better educated people in the country
will bring about better crops, more
prosperity. Rutland will get the
benefit of these conditions from the
towns nearby. There is every reason
why the cities should expect to pay
for better education of the children in
the surrounding towns. .
Vermont is simply one big com
munity and no town or city should
show itself so selfish as to want to
keep all its good things for its own
benefit and advancement. The News'
certainly shows a very narrow policy
in complaining about the school mon
ey that Rutland pays going to help
poorer towns. All is for the good of
Vermont and what benefits Vermont
benefits Rutland. Burlington Clip
per. Sheep or Dogs.
Every little while the newspapers
raise a talk in favor of keeping more
sheep in Vermont and one of these
periodic discussions is now; in prog
ress. With the prices of Wool and
mutton where they are now and where
they are likely to remain the busi
ness of raising sheep in this state
would be highly profitable, particular
ly in the back towns where farms can
be bought for little money, were it
not for one thing that is ruinous to
the industry. This insuperable objec
tion is the dog nuisance. It is just
about impossible to raise sheep at a
profit in New England because of the
depredations of dogs which are al-
i lowed to run at large. This issue has
been before the Vermont legislature
at every session for twenty years and
every time a majority of the members
have voted in favor of the dogs rather
than the sheep. We suppose that the
legislature that convenes next week
will do the same. It is a strange com
mentary on human nature that so
large a proportion of farmers in the
legislature are .up in arms against
the protection of deer which do a lit
tle damage to orchards and at the
same time will vote to protect dogs of
no value whatever which have ruined
one of the largest and most profitable
industries of the state Bennington
Banner.
A Simple Request.
Articles have been written to the
effect that our deer or hunting laws
should not be meddled with at the
coming legislature. We are in har
mony with this in all respects but
one. This is the time allowed for
taking deer Nov. 15th up into the
first of December. With us here in
the northern counties these days are
frequently as severe as any of the
whole winter. Take this season for
example. We hunters, wallowed in
nearly two feet of snow with the
thermometer so low" we actually suf
fered, while no doubt in the southern
counties the climatic and other con
ditions for hunting were just right.
Possibly more deer can be killed un
der the conditions mentioned; but a
great many hunters go into the woods
not only for the deer, but for the
pleasure of the wilderness and camp
life. The latter cannot be enjoyed in
two ;. feet of snow with four-inch
icicles clinging to the face. This is
what happened in Essex, Orleans and
Franklin counties this year. It was
about the same last year, and is every
year. From various sources, espe
cially in the first two counties named
we have been asked to bring this
matter Deiore the public, with the
hope it may be favorably commented
upon, and as favorably considered at
the coming legislature. We only ask
that the open season for hunting deer
be given an earlier date either the
latter part of. October or the first of
November, as, is thought best. Both
of these dates are as safe against
causing forest fires in our counties
as the present open season in the
southern counties. It must be re
membered that we face winter two
or three weeks earlier "than the
counties south of us, and are that
much later in tree-budding in the
spring. Yet our open hunting season
makes no allowance for this. In
Maine and New Hampshire with cli
matic conditions similar to ours in
Vermont, they have passed a law, as
we understand it, making the open
season two or three weeks earlier in
the northern counties than are those
in the southern. This law was in
vogue this year. The plea of our
fish and game clubs, and of nearly
every sportsman is that a similar
law be passed for our northern coun
ties. A simple request, but one we
trust our state fish and game com
missioner, and the members of the
legislature will take fair cognizance
of. Express and Standard.
VERMONT NOTES
The Vermont branch of the Hebrew
War Relief society , has already sent
more than $5000 to be used in the
work of relieving the Jewish war suf
ferers. The Jewish people of Bur
lington have been contributing about
$100 a week.
Mrs. Lisle Mcintosh of South Roy
alton has finished her jelly making
for this year, using nearly four tons
of sugar with an output of $2,000.
This jelly was sold before it was
made. She has employed three as
sistants for the past three months.
Mrs. Mcintosh's jelly is distributed
all over the New England states.
It has been-announced that begin
ning Jan. 1 the International Paper
company of Bellows Falls will assume
ownership of the paper mill of John
T. Moore & Son. This mill employs 35
hands and was built in 1872 by John
Robertson and John T. Moore. It
makes a high grade of heavy paper.
It is reported that the purchase price
was in the vicinity of $150,000.
The Vermont Poultry Breeders' as
sociation elected the following offi
cers at the Barre meeting last week:
President, A. B. Wheeler of St. Al
bans; secretary, W. G. Freeman of
Bellows Falls. The Vermont associ
ation is the official branch of the
American vPoultry association and a
good deal of interest was manifest in
the annual show and meeting. About
1000 birds were shown.
Dr. W. R. Rowland of East Cor
inth, for many years a practicing
physician and twice the socialist
party candidate for governor of Ver
mont, has given up his practice and
will enter the Universalist ministry,
having received a call to take charge
of the parishes at New Madison, Pal
estine and Greenville, O. Dr. Row
land has been prominent in the Uni
versalist denomination in this state
for many years.
A. F. Phiilips of Windsor, the Mor
gan horse man, has an oil painting of
"Billy Root," a famous Morgan stal
lion of 60 yers ago. "Billy Root"
was sired by Sherman Morgan, a son
of Justin Morgan, out of a daughter
of Justin Morgan. The painting re
ferred to above was made in 1847.
The owners of "Billy Root" were
Hoyt & Bemis of Lyndon and Burke.
This horse was said by good judges
to have been the most perfect type
of a Morgan that ever lived.
The biennial report of the state
factory inspector, Allan Calhoun, of
Middlebury, just made public, says
that there are only 360 minors em
ployed in the different industries of
the state. The report says that 27,
314 males and 5,549 females are em
ployed in Vermont's industries. Much
attention has been given, says the in
spector, to the proper safeguarding
of machinery, but it has been found
that many employes remove the safe
ty devices which the employers have
furnished.
The Richmond Underwear company
of New .York has leased a vacant
building in Swanton, formerly used
as a wrapper factory, and will open a
branch factory for the manufacture
of children's muslin underwear. The
company is installing about 40 sew
ing machines, which will be run by
electric power. It is expected the
plant will be opened for business
about Jan. 8, with about 40 women
and girl machine operators. The
capacity of the plant will be increased
as fast as help can be secured.
A belief that legislation favorable
to the reorganization of the Boston &
Maine railroad could be obtained in
Vermont has been expressed to the
federal court in Boston by former
Gov. George H. Prouty of Vermont, a
director of the road who testified in
the receivership hearing. Mr. Prouty
testfied that in his opinion the capital
of the Boston & Maine was not large
enough to take care of any deficit
that might occur in the future and
that it would be only a short time un
der present conditions when the road
would be unable to meet its obliga
tions to the leased lines.
The budget committee, consisting
of the governor, auditor, state treas
urer, chairman of the senate finance
committee, chairman of the house
ways and means committee, chairman
of the house committee on appropria
tions and state purchasing agent,
have issued the budget estimate for
the next two years which calls for a
total of $4,721,058.29. This proce
dure is a new departure authorized by
the legislature of 1915, and the bud
get is the result of several meetings,
the last of which occurred in Novem
ber, according to statute. There is
no serious increase in the proposed
appropriations, the estimates " being
largely . based on the expenditures for
the past two years.
Jan. 17 an examination will be held
at Norwich university of those who
wish to try for the appointment to
the United States military academy
at West Point or the United States
naval academy at Annapolis, Senator
Page having the naming of one ap
pointee at each school. The two boys
who stand highest , in that , examina
tion vill be recommended as princi
pals and the two ranking second as
alternates, with the two standing
third best as second alternates. All
inquiries respecting the examination
should be addressed to Col. Ira L.
Reeves, president, Norwich universi
ty, Northfield. The person appoint
ed to the naval academy must notvbe
less than 16 nor more than 20, and to
the military academy not less than
17 nor more than 22 years of age.
Many Eclipses.
Four eclipses of the sun and three
of the moon, the greatest number
possible in a single year, will occur in
1917, according to a memorandum is
sued by the naval observatory in
Washington. The last year in which
seven eclipses came was early in the
last century and the next will be
1935.
On Jan. 8 there will be a total
eclipse of the moon by the earth's
shadow, visible throughout the United
States, beginning at 12.50 a. m., and
ending at 4.39 a. m., eastern stan
dard . time. Between 2 a. m., and
3.29 a. ni., eastern time, the eslipsej
vill be total.
Vermont Dairymen.

What Is Causing Vermont's Fires.
After collating and analyzing the
details of a very large percentage of
all fires in Vermont, the actuarial
bureau of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters has ascertained the
causes of these fires, for the year
1915, with their relative losses to have
been as follows, where the cause was
responsible for 1 per cent or more of
the loss.
(Percentages have not been car
ried beyond one decimal place.)
STRICTLY PREVENTABLE CAUS
ES. Per
Cent
Defective chimneys and flues
$31,217 6.6
Hot ashes and coals 5,392 1.2
Matches 13,909 3.0
Petroleum and products 7,971 1.7
Smoking (cigars, cigarettes,
; pipes, etc.) 4,738 1.0
Stoves, furnaces, boilers and
their pipes 32,713 7.0
In each of the above cases, "prelim
inary inspection would have shown
tne element of danger, which then
might have been easily remedied.
The total is $97,326 or 20.7 per cent
of the whole.
PARTLY PREVENTABLE CAUSES
Per
. Cent
Electricity $47,200 10.1
Explosions 11,670 2.5
Exposure 35,696 7.6
Incendiarism 36,205 7.7
Lightning 1,947 0.4
Miscellaneous 23,846 5.1
Sparks from fires 6,601 1.4
Sparks from machinery 10,208 -2.1
Spontaneous combustion 44,855 9.6
It is estimated that at least half
the loss occasioned by electricity,
sparks from fires, and spontaneous
combustion was preventable, and that
all the other causes had some degree
of preventability. The total loss in
this class is $218;228, or 46.5 per cent
of the whole.
Unknown causes (Probably large
ly preventable) $153,245 or 32.7 per
cent.
These figures teach their own les
sons. The only way to make Ver
mont really safe is to secure the in
telligent and interested cooperation
of the public. Individual careless
ness is the greatest fire hazard.
That Run-Down Spring.
When springs of window shades
have run down they are sometimes
very hard to wind up again. This is
easily done, however, if you use a but
tonhook. Simply put the hook around
the small metal end which is to be
turned. Then, using the buttonhook
as a wrench, wind the spring; you can
do so quickly.

slime-covered rock leading to it.
Trees overhung the rock ledge, and
on one of the lower branches was a
large hornets' nest. Divesting our
selves of our scanty wardrobe, con
sisting principally of a pair of over
alls with openings at the side to make
it easy to retrieve trespassing grass
hoppers and ants, and to scratch our
selves when necessary, we plunged
in. Then we, Guy S., had a sporty
thought, and signified our intention
of pulling down that hornets' nest.
The other boys took to the water, we
boldly grasped the nest, tore it from
the bough, sprang for the pool,
slipped on the slimy rock, neatly car
omed from ridge to ridge, losing
large particles of cuticle on each car
om, and in the meantime the hornets
caught up with the procession. When
we finally did land in the water hor
nets were hanging on us in bunches
like tassels on a lambrequin. To
cap the climax, Weetie escaped from
the bag, returned to the house and
gave birth to a litter of kittens on
the bosom of our sole Sunday shirt.
"We finally migrated to the big
city to learn to be a printer, (gosh
those city pavements made our feet
sore!) got a job as hotel printer, and
from that evoluted into the sanctum
of The Annals. We now enjoy the
same privilege as a man with a tape
worm, we can speak of ourself as
'we' (plagiarized). Our copy meets
with varying approval. The owner
of the N. Y. Hotel Gazette says it's
punk; while the editor of Statler's
Salesmanship twangs his sounding
lyre in our praise. Our overpower
ing modesty forbids a reprint of the
much appreciated compliment.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local reme
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Tells on the Kidneys
Barton People Have Found This to
Be True.
The strain of overwork tells on
weakened kidneys. The hurry and
worry of business men, the heavy lift
ing and stooping ot workmen, the
women's household cares, tend to
wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they can no longer filter the poi
son from the blood and the whole
body suffers from tne waste matter
that accumulates. Weakened kidneys
need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney
Pills are prepared especiallyforweak
ened kidneys; tired, worn-out backs
have proven their' merit in thousands
of such cases. Convincing proof of
their worth in a Barton citizen's state
ment. C. H. Hammond, N. Main St., Bar
ton, says: "From hard work and
heavy lifting, my kidneys became dis
ordered and my back ached and
pained. The kidney secretions were
highly colored and caused me to get
up often at night to pass them. Sly
back troubled me with a dull aching,
which was very annoying. I have
used Doan's Kidney Pills for a few
years and they have always relieved
me whenever I have suffered this
way. I do not hesitate to recommend
them."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
D oan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mr. Hammond uses. Foster-Milburn
