Wright had another busy afternoon Monday in disposing of the numerous cases that came be fore him, among which were several farmers who were charged with sell ing watered milk. The law . has seemed to have fallen upon the farmer quite often of late. At a recent ses sion of the municipal court several Canadian farmers from the vicinity of Troy received fines for not. having their vehicles properly lighted, now many of them are' facing court 'for having placed, ice in their milk. The complaints which brought them into court were made by the state board of health. . It appeared in court that at certain' times during the past summer samples of milk were taken and " sent to the state laboratory , at Burlington, which showed that there was water in the-milk and it also showed that nearly every sample tested higher than the required test, which is 3.7 per cent. This being the fact, the court was very lenient with those who came before him. It appeared that the farmers instead of placing their . cans of milk in ice water t j cool,had - put the ice into the milk, which in warm weather, with warm milk must soon melt. The fines in all cases were$50 and costs,$25 of the fine in each case being remitted. Had the court been convinced that the par ties had committed the act, to get more for their product the full amount would have been ' collected. While many complaints have been reported, only six of tne parties appeared Mon day. They were J. B. Martell of North Troy, Earl Hammond of New port, M. Archambault of Newport, J. A. Gagne of Coventry, and Jerry Guyette of Coventry. J. A." Basham, represented by E. J. Smith, pleaded not guilty and a jury trial will be had later.- , . Other cases which had the attention of the court was George Pigeon, Jr., of North Troy. He pleaded guilty to breach of the peace and paid a fine of $20 and costs. Pigeon pleaded not guilty to another like charge, and he was placed under $100 bail for a later trial. Arthur Bolduc, 21 years of acre, of Rock Island pleaded guiltv to boot legging, but while the fine of the court was $300 and costs, $200 of the fine was remitted. It appeared he was apprehended on Saturday at Derby Line with five quarts of liquor on his person. He was 'turned over to Deputy Sheriff E. H. Cosbv and brought .to Newport. In his case, an- otner party got iiolduc to bring the goods across the - line, but the man who had asked him to play his part failed to show up at the appointed time to relieve him of the lot, r.nd in his waiting for the man's appear ance" the wrong man appeared and he was arrested. NORTH TROY The Rev. Edmund E. BIai who fnr nearly four years has had charge of the parish of St. Vincent d Paul in North Troy, has been transferred to JNorton Mills, where he will be the resident pastor. In connection with his charere there he will havp flip missions of Wallace Bond and Bloom- held. During his pastorate here Fr. Blais has made a host of devoted friends in all circles and especially has he endeared himself to the peo ple of his "church. He was in town on Wednesday of last week to say farewell to his friends who on short notice gathered at the church for the occasion. After a social time was spent, a collection that had been has tily gathered for the event was pre sented the reverend gentleman as a token of appreciation and good wilL Fr. Blais feelingly responded and ex pressed his hopes for the future growth of the .parish. His departure is greatly regretted by every one who has the good fortune to enjoy his ec- quaintance.

Ml B.FIM NEWPORT, VERMONT -oooooooooooooooooooooooooox Fire at Derby Line Sunday nieht about 11 o'clock Chief Green received a call from Derby Line asking for assistance from the fire de partment. Chief Gxeen, knowing that the village of Derby Line was prac tically without water supply, lost no time in responding to. the call, and in company of a few Newport firemen with the combination fire truck went to the scene, where it was discovered that the residence of Ed Audinwood was in danger of destruction. The lo cation of the buildings was just right for a conflagration like that of East Charleston, and had it not been ior the fact that firefighters came from every direction and literally covered the burning building, such would have been the case. The fire, when first discovered by neighbors, was making great headway from the basement on the outside of the ell section of the residence.-Before any water could be had it had made serious progress. The village water was shut off at the time and some delay was ex perienced before it could be turned on. unly a small quantity 01 water was in the reservoir and would have been" exhausted in short order, had the fire got beyond control. The peo ple of Derby Line are very fortunate that it was confined to the house, the bulk of the damage bein only in the ell part, as the fire was kept from en tering the main- section of the house. Fire companies from Stanstead, Rock Island, Derby . Center and Newport responded and did valued work . in their' assistance and the people of the Tittle village was very appreciative for their services. Fireman from Derby loaded their two chemical engines in trucks, and they sent other trucks, which were kept busy draw , :ng water " in cream cans to be used m recharging the chemical tanks.

The hay crop probably will be aboui 70 per cent of normal, a much bettc: showing! than seemed possible tw months ago. - Considering the . short, age of ram this year, crops are bet ter than might naturally be expected.
