nearly perfect as possible. (If it costs
the general run of farmers five cents
to produce a quart of milk those in the
milk business would go broke as that
is more than they ever get for it. The
probability is the average farmer win
raises most ot his teed ou uis owu
farm can produce milk at a tost of
around four ceuts per quart but he I
had better feed it ou the plaee thau to
ship it. at that price. The farmers
who ship milk to .New York and Bos
ton do not get their money back at
less than tour and one halt cents per
quart, and if thev deliver it at the rail-
rcud station they should not take less
than live. The state should take a
hand iu this business and stop the in
cursions of irresponsible milk dealers
and creamery men from the big cities.
These men have victimized Vermont
farmers to the extent of hundreds of
thousands of dollars during the past
twenty years? and it is time they were !

Stabbed to Death.
(Rutland News.)
The voters of Brattleboro gave short
shrift to the proposition before them
at a vuluzje meeting lat Friday even
ing looking to the improvement of the
building and traffic' regulations. The
proposition was stabbed to death in a
seven-minute session, and it is said
ito have been through, the influence of
a lumber concern, which, presumably
would have been hit by the proposed
regulations. Knowing nothing of the
merits ot the particular case, it may
be observed in general that a move
I to make more stringent bunding and
trarue regulations deserves more con
sideration than this at the hands of auv
town.

it: but it is plain enough that the
Secretary has come to the conclusion
that the Massachusetts congressman is
'interested, not in discrediting a Demo-

the country into i rational state of
' preparedness for self defence. Con
sequently he is dointr his best to aid
;the movement, though probably know

cabinet by so doing.
The agitation on the subject, while
so far resulting in nothing tangible so
far as Congress is concerned, and while
net holding any promise of immediate
relief, has unquestionably opened the
eyes of the country verv wide. It has

between its fundamental law as hon

Meanwhile, it lias two excellently
constituted courts, properly and con

Herald sees it, capable of administer
ing the ends of justice for two years.
Why interfere with them?
The reasons are three in number, the
Hon. Lovelaud Munson and the Hon.
Seneca Haelton, former justices of the
supreme court, and the Honorable
Frunk I.. Fish, former superior judge,

Seal, prepared in 1910, deals with the
struggle and self-sacrifice of a young'
girl artist, who won a coveted Red !

it all away to send a consumptive son

the reformation of a young politician,
whose wife was stricken with tuber

her husband's tumbledown tenements.

that tuberculosis is a problem of the
