siNe creamery plants, in which the con-
tract price agreed upon has been far i'm
excess Of the require mcnts of the busi-
ness, that in some sections such plants
have been contracted for where there ia
not sufficient milk produced to pay ths
expense Of operating a creamery. Wa
hereby desire to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that iii
other States the said "creamcry pro-.
mOters' have operated in Il manner sims

that this work has resulted to the grcat
injury Of the dairy interests and to
large financial loss to stockholders n
such organizations
We would. therefore. caution aud warn
the dairymcn Of Vermont in relation %

that wherever Il creamery is needed We

GOOD ROADS AND STATE AID.
(Mr. Otto Dorner in the Forum)

The last two generations have seen 4
wonderful growth in transportation facl-

has continued to lend tempting opportuu-
tiles to capital for railroad investments.
The development of commerce and traffic
has been constantly encouraged by iegiS-
lation. Large appropriations have been
made for the building of canals; rivo:s
have been made navigable steamboat lines
have been heavily subsidized; and untold
millions have been showered on railroads
by cities, counties, States and the nation.

New York is only one-hfth Of what it
was at the close of tho civil War; tho
cost of shipping it from New York -
Liverpool is only two-ffths Of what :

has not kept pace with the development 7

been a stepchild of legislatures. Its cor-

order by President w. j. Van Patten ana
devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. X. II. BAN of Fair Haven. In the
absence of the secretary Rev. Mr.. Bar
mum of Cornwall was elected secretary

ststing of Rev. G., W. Phillips of Rutland,
Prof. Emerson of Burlington and Rev.

After the business meeting was COM
pletcd Rev G. II. Smith of Pittsford read
a very able and interesting paper on 'The
Growth in the Church" He said in part:
We can best tell the changes that have
taken place ny the work of men of early
and of modern times. The former is
shown by the life work of Richard Bax-
ter, who toied in the 18th century; the
second IS shown by the work of a man
who died two years ago-Hcnry Drum
mond. HIS influence over young men and
women is a great thing but If he had
lived in the days of Richard Baxter the
church would have cast him out and prob
ably have taken his life.
The next paper was by Dr. c. S. Caverly
of Rutland on "Thc Growth in Medical
Practice" Tho paper showed careful pro-
paration and was full of interesting points.
He said: "'rhere is no doubt that we
know enough, but do we do enough" Mon

not been studied. Hospitals and dispen-

Many of the recent deaths from pneu-

that the prevalence OF the grippe, with
the consequent general weakening Of

four days the deaths from all causes
have been $50. This is daily average
of 1921 On the corresponding days
of last year the deaths from all causes
numbered 3SS, a daily average OF nine
ty-seyen. Many school children and
teachers are suffering from the grippe
There are about 225, 900 enrolled in the
public schools in this city. The nor
NAL ratio of absentees is about one IN
200. Today Superintendent Jasper re-
norfed that there were about $4,000 ab-
sentees among the pupils, or 20 per
cent. Of the $3.50 teachers about per
cent are on the absent list, whereas
31h or per cent is the usual ratio.
There are 3S1 sick policemen today.
