The robber who broke into -the
Northfleld Tall post office were par
ticular what company they kept, for
they didn't want to be seen with nix
Central Vermont mileages which they
found in the post office.
The Norwich university cadets who
are now making a practice march
through central Vermont are getting
the benefits of practical military train
ing and at the same time are benefit
ing physically thereby. The day's
marches are not over-long or over
rough territory, and by the time the
boys get back to Northfleld they should
be in fine physical condition. ThU
practice of annual- marches i one of
the minor virtues of the Xorthficld in
stitution but very good at that.
rROGREPS ALL ALONG THE LINE.
The results of the annual work by
the assessors, as shown by our news
columns today, indicate a largely in
creased grand list for the city, one of
the largest gains made in recent years.
Then, too, there is included in the re
port a gain of 168 polls during the
year, making a total of 3,272. The city
has, therefore,, been making a Bteady
advance in population as represented
in part by these 16S additions in the
poll list. This growth in property and
population bids fair to be continued
during the present year. Talk up
your town when opportunity falls to
you. Never knock. He candid how
ever, and do not attempt to cloak
things which the outsider should know
before coming here or investing his
property. We don't care to go under
false pretenses. At the same time we
feel certain that the things wtyoh on
might wish to cloak are small com
pared with the advantages.
DIRTY JiTLK SOLD IN BARRE.
By referring to the quarterly report
of the state board of health we find
that the samples of milk taken from
the supplies of five dealer of milk in
Barre, examined dining tV.ti months of
March and April and up to the tenth
of May this year, were found to be
below standard. In four instances re
marks Merc made that the milk waa
dirty, while in the fifth the milk was
low in .solids and fat. Each was normal
jiJeroscopically. On the other hand, we
barn that the samples of milk taken
from five other supplies in Barre, ex
amined during the same period, were
not only normal microscopically but
were above standard, there being no
complaint of dirt or other foreign sub
stance i a connection with them.
The query arises then, why cannot
the five milk dealer first mentioned
handle as clean and healthy a supply
of milk as those five other Barre
d-aler,who milk was found to be
watisfactory t They certainly are in as
good a position to sell clean milk to
the consumer as the others. The theory
may be advanced that some dealers,
doing an extensive business, are neces

sarily required- to purchase from other
dairies and are consequently somewhat
at the mercy , of the first sellers. In
reply we may say that they have a
remedy by refusing to deal with such
keepers of dairies who do not exercise
the proper degree of tare in the handl
ing of the milk. It wouldn't be long
before everyone who owned a dairy and
was dependent upon the sale of milk
from it would revise his methods to
conform- to the demand of those selling
direct to the consumer.
If the consumers desire to tt t'ne
milk which they are buying there is a
simple method prescribed by the state
laboratory as follows; Physically, the
milk is examined for dirt and other
foreign material which indicate an un
clean and unwholesome condition. The
standard we have adopted is the sedi
ment found at the bottom of the clean
jar in which the sample is collected.
The jar is allowed to stand about 10
hours in the laboratory, during which
time the sediment settles. The jars
are then held up to the light, the dirt
and other foreign matter being easily
detected.
STRAY PICKINGS
OF LOCAL INTEREST
It may be nothing more than barmen-
stance, but at any rate it make a
laugh when the bae ball attendant
runs over the advs. on the score card
and sees one Barre saloon advertising
that it is holding forth in a "fire
proof building." Our good prohibition
menus would see an augury of the
future in the significance.
Well, well! If here isn't ''Dick" Hoar.
our "unconstitutional" friend, finding
another flaw in the laws by which
we abide ourselves. We doubt not
that if "Dick" should essay the tak
he could knock the law of the Modes
and Persians into a cocked hat and
then feed the pieces to us for a new
kind of a breakfast food. But let
it not be said that our unconstitutional
friend goes into this llawpieking bus
iness blind folded or widly a

Prhaps that is because he has been
taking so many shots at them. Never
theless, we think he gave good advice
to the , board of civil authority the
o(her evening when he went without
his supper to find the proof of the un
constitutionality of a certain tax law.

There's going to be a horse show, or
rather a show of horie speed in Barre
very soon. Why not an automobile
show! It would make quite an impos
ing cortege to see all the Cadillacs,
Jlitynes, fonts, j-.lmnres, lute, and
what-nots pulled up in a line. There
must be fifty or more of the machine
in town now and more coming. If need
bo we might have a joint debate on the
respective virtues or the Hayne.s and
the Cadillac cars with John Cordon and
"Nelt" Phelps as the chief argufiers. If
the people didn't want to listen they
could leave. At any rate, the next time
we have an exhibition of nnv sort.
let's inaugurate an automobile parade.
Some unkind persons might proclaim it
a parade of folly, but never mind the

An Important Will Case on- Trial in

T.ie contestants are " 3lr. Betsey .E.
Scott, of Plymouth,, and S. W. Wat

ried on an.HOo'acr fnnj at Sharon
which' hail been in the family for three
generation. July 10,'' 1905, he had a
stroke of upopleky. His condition im
proved somewhat so that on the 23rd
ot July a will was made in his bed
room which he executed by making bis
murk with a crohs with hi i left hand,
Lis ritrht side being puralued. This will
left all the property to his wife, who

Holler. I
One a certain Geniua
who thought that tha Moon
was inhabited proposed that
at a certain moment on a
certain night every man,
woman and child on earth
should holler juat aa loud aa
possible, so that the Man In
the Moon might hear the
aound and know that he had
neighbor.
Everybody eald it waa a
Fine Idea. Everybody agreed
to Holler with a big H. For
month In advance every
body practiced lung exer
citei, ao aa to cultivate
, the Biggest Holler possible.
Everybody waa sure that the
Moon Man couldn't help but
hear the Vast Volume of
Vociferation.
The Eventful Night ar
rived. The Moon Man waa
looking down through a
cloudless eky. Everybody on
earth drew In two large .
lungfuta of air and got ready
for the Big Holler. The
Mighty Moment came at
laitlli
Silence! Absolute aileneel It waa the ailentest moment aince
the morning stare first sang together.
When the return came in it waa known that only one man, a
negro in Darkest Africa, hollered, and one woman In Oehkosh,
Wie., who waa so excited that she just couldn't help it, let eut a
faint hyaterioal ahrlek. '
Everybody else had kept Mum in order to hear the Big Holler
that all the other were going to make.
But nobody made the holler because they all waited for the
ether fellows to do it all except the African, who had no curiosity,
and the Oshkoth lady, who had hyaterlc.
And the Man in the Moon just laughedl
It was enough to make a comet splutter, for it revealed a very
amusing trait In human nature.
You will find lota of people rlht here In
thlo community who refuse to Join In the Bis
Hoilor t(caUH. they want to -H !h full ben
efit of the holler when the other people maae
It. Bomellni by maklna a filsr Jolir all
at one we mlRlit get a new factory located
here, but when 93 men atanit around, each
welting for nit the others to l the hollnrlna,
and only one man hollers, the man looUlne for
h. factory Ha doesn't hear any aound.
K) If it takes a Big Holler to get what we want, every fellow must
lend a lung.
This Is not Just a funny atory. It is Full of Philosophy. It
6t ought to set yeu thinking.
