There was considerable fun amongst
the arriving members at the preliminary
social hour, when waiting to be decora-
ted with their green card, bearing their
name and birthplace in Vermont. To
the question, how many counties were
there IN Vermont, it was generally
thought there were IA but some insisted
there were Is and it was suggested that
they counted in all of the additional
cores. A second inquiry as to the num-
Der OF towns and cities brought out as
many different answers as there were
people. One gentleman stated $40,
while second declared there were not
more than 259. A third knew that there
were at least three cities. An old doctor
from Rutland county was able to name
every town in his county, which he had
learned when a boy attending the dis
tr1ct school at home An appeal was
made to one of the officers for informa-
ton, and he intimated that if he was
caught this time, "a hours would not |
elapse before he would know all about it.
II only some OF the members of the YER

there, they no doubt would have been
able to have given the information de-
sired, at least the number this congress

OF personal knowledge of the geography
OF the state may not seem singular, when
it is known that many of the members

printers, two new towns are added to
the Wlndham county list-"London.

mary by counties, Lamoille figures as
"Lamvllle." Shades of Carroll S. Page
The question is, do the commissioners Of
state printing mean to pay full price for
work OF this kind. Any Vermont printer
would expect to be summariy and
severely turned down for such ignorant
and lnexcusable laundering. = Brattle.

The Phoenix has our thanks for call;no
public attention oncem more to this unipst
deal OF the printing commissioners.
Other reports have been more inaccurate
and 1t is interesting to know Just where
the economy of the scheme came in
There is a spleudid prospect that we
snail have new secretary Of state and
auditor in 1902 and it can be pretty
safely predicted that the new officers in
their official capacity as state PRINTING
commissioners will leave the work in the
state.

The Anti.Saloon League is unusually
active this spring and last Sunday eight
speakers addressed meetings in FIVE dif-
terent towns in the state. Rev. George
W. Morrow has recently returned from
New York state where he has been speak
ing on temperance. The addresses given
by the speakers are the most efficient
work this organization can do and it is
along these lines that we believe its
greatest usefulness lies.
