F. B, DRIVE STARTS GOOD
Over
100 Farms Join on $10 Basis
First Two Days. -
A very successful membership
drive was launched in Orleans county
which, started last Monday in Crafts
bury, where six solicitors, who are
all farmers, were taken around1 the
town by six farmers who offered their
services to carry the solicitors into
their neighborhoods., and introduce
them.' Last year Craf tsbury had 17
members and at present there are 45
' members signed up on the new $10
basis, and over 30 farmers were away
and will be seen on a second, canvass.
Greensboro came across with over
65 members and with less than 70
visits, and in this town over 25 farm
ers were away when the solicitors
called. Mr. Sawyer states that he is
very well satisfied in the manner in
which the farmers axe taking hold of
their own business, because the Farm
Bureau is the farmers' Chamber of
Commerce.' It is an organization in
which the J farmers of the United
States are getting together to j pro
tect their own business in such mat
ters as taxes, markets, tariff, and oth
er things, which are beneficial to the
success; of agriculture. '

Newport. Mrs. .Gorham also leaves
a brother, A. A. Morrill, of Coventry

Barton Boys in Trouble.
A grossly incorrect account of the
trouble - some Barton boys recently
found themselves in appeared in
Tuesday's St. Johnsbury daily , and
some features of the inaccuracy were
also in other state dailies. - One re
port states that the boys spent sever
al days in jaiL The fact is the boys
went to Newport Monday, afternoon
and came home that evening. This
paper would not mitigate the serious
ness of the offense and takes the fol
lowing report from the Newport
News of Tuesday.
. Judge W. M. Wright was faced with
so many cases at. the afternoon ses
sion of the Municipal court on Mon
day that it was past 7 o'clock before
court was adjourned and the several
cases disnosed of. -
Four young men from Barton, va
rying in ages, from 16 to 19 years,
were brouerht ' before Judge Wright
charged with petty larceny of a por
tion of a watermelon, and as a re
sult of the boys'- likmg for . the de
liViniia melon three of them have a
rtorl sentence to the house of
correction hanging over them, and
they must get busy , and earn enough
monev to nay the costs of prosecu
tion. Deputy Sheriff George J enmngs
brought the boys to Newport Monday,
their-names being Arnold Ash, Ward
Mudirett Reermald jarvis and -Uiea
Cornish. It appeared from the char
ges of the state's attorney trat on
July 14 the boys went to the home of
I. Solomon, a iunK dealer oi:uanon
and during th3 evemngrwith cart fully
laid plans secure! &e watermelon.
Their chief object was to pester Mr.
Solomon. Two of the boys went i to
the rear of the house and caused a
disturbance with some scrap iron in
order ; to get the family out to the
back porch. While this was in pro
cess the other two went into the house
through the front door, and took the
melon from the table. :
Ash, Mudgett and Jarvis pleaded
guilty to the . charge, but all united
in their claims that Cornish was not
mixed up in the scrape. The case
against Cornish was nol-prossed and
the other three boys were given not
less then six months or over one year
at the house of correction, sentence
being suspended and the. parties
placed in the hands of the probation
officer. An additional sentence was to
earn money to pay the costs of the
prosecution. The state's attorney
suggested the matter of church at
tendance and upon inquiry by the
judge it was learned that none were
attendants at Divine worship. The
judge gave the boys a straight from
the shoulder- talk and warned them
against further troubles of this char
acter. The boys were represented
by Attorney Hubert Pierce.
Ralph E. Norton of Orleans re
cently arrested by Sheriff E. J. Hill
charged with breaking into a fruit
store in Orleans, entered a plea of
not guilty and was placed on $500
bail for trial at the September term
of Orleans county court. The break
iri the' store was made through a
window, the glass being broken by an
axe, which was found in the window
at the time.

STILL TAKEN IN WESTMORE
Mountains at '' WHlpughby
Illicit Rum Makers.
Cover
On the rocky cliffs of Westmore by
the shore of Willoughby lake Friday
was the scene of a sensational cap
ture of three men in the act of operat
ing a complete distill and the seizure
of the moonshine outfit. The location
of the distillery was in the west side
of Mount Hor, not far from the big
slide of a few years ago. State's At
torney Campbell of Caledonia county
upon receiving information that led
him to believe a still was in operation
in the vicinity of Willoughby lake got
in touch with Albert Farman, state's
attorney of Orleans county, and fol
lowing a conference a . plan was
mapped out to locate the plant.
On Wednesday night officers Camp
bell, Farman -and Deputy Sheriff C.
U. Ladd of Holland spent the night
in a cottage on the shore of the lake,
and early the following morning they
secured a boat and rowed across the
lake wherethey discovered a footpath
leading up on to the mountain,and fol
lowing the path soon came upon the
still, , which was located in a cave
under some large boulders. The still
with the capacity of 20 gallons daily,
was the size of an ordinary kitchen
and had a hot water boiler with a
small pipe which carried the liquor
to the container, a ' large tank,
which was cooled by . water from a
spring above the boulders, Nearby
were located three hogsheads of sour
mash, having the appearance of sour
ing for several days, the material be
ing corn, sugar and plenty of yeasU
Farther- away were beds made of
spruce boughs. The still was in a
secluded spot and no part of it was
visible from the lake. The officers
decided to make the raid Friday fore
noon and on Thursday evening Depu
ty Sheriff Wallace of St. Johnsbury,
Deputy Sheriff John Stafford of Lyn
donville and Deputy Sheriff C U,
Ladd of Holland, Deputy Sheriff S.
E. Gray of Derby and Mr. Ladd's son
were taken to Willoughby where they
rowed across the lake and took their
positions for the night at points near
the entrance to the stilL
It was understood by the officers
that at a signal of three shots which
would be given at 11 o'clock the fol
lowing morning they were to close in.
ln&nrizTa arrived at the edee
of the lake at 5 o'clock in the rhornink
coming up from St. Johnsbury in a
Cadillac car owned by one of the trio.

Newport 7, Barton 2.
Barton went to Newport yesterday
and for six innings battled the home
team on even terms. In the last two
frames five hits, two walks and an
error, netted five runs. In all fair
ness it must be said that a poor de-.
cision by the field umpire cost at
least two of these runs.
