AN EXPERIMENT In CORPORATION
STORES,

ASIDE from Questions involving
Immediately the price of waoes and
hours of labor, the corporation store
where it exists, is one of the moan
criticized points in the relations of
Industrial corporations with their
employees. Such criticism often over.
looks the distinction between enter
prises located in or near large centers
of population, and so having no need
of such stores, and those isolated
from large cities or towns, in the case
of which they are often a necessity or
great convenience. 1t must be adj
mitted, however, that like MANY
other things in themselves necessary
or proper, corporation stores are
capable of abuse, and that whether
deserving it or not they are more
usually adversely criticized. In view
OF these conditions, an experiment
begun by the Vermont Marble Com
pany in May, 1908, in connection with
its corporation stores would perhaps
be of interest to other corporations
similarly situated and to any inter-
ested in the problems involved in the
relations between employers and their
employees.
The Vermont Marble Company has
at its quarries and works in Vermont
about twenty five hundred employees.
Its business is scattered over a con-
siderable district IN Rutland countv
Vermont, and requires some fifteen

Gov. Bell recently said that if Yer
mont was to develop apace with her
neighboring states she must keep her
men and women of ability at home.
Governor Bell never put so much
sound logic in as few words as when
ne made that. statement and yet the
state itself puts forth no effort to re-
tain her best men as in the case OF
Walter e Ranger, Vermont's Super
intendent of Schools, who has recent
ly hadian offer to go to Rhode Island
to al the SUPPLEMENTARY there at
an advance salary. By this we don't
mAan that there are not other men in
Vermont able to take the place of Mr.
.anger, but we do mean the state
should not sell her best men for few
hundred dollars as is the case with
Mr.. Ranger.

The state board of health has mott
fed the authorities in Burlington, st.
Johnsbury, Swanton and Enosburg
Falls, that unless the water supply in
these places, which has been found to
be contaminated, is improved before
June 1, 1906, the board will take action
in accordance with section No. of
the statutes entitled "An act to pre-
vent the pollution OF the sources of
water supplies" By authority of this
act the state board may prohibit the
use of these waters. Good for the
state board of health-and incidentally
for the people who use the water.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Wreck Train.
An attempt was made Monday eve
ming to wreck the train which arrives
at Brandon station at 10 O'Clock from
the north. About ten rods below the
Wiley crossing someone had placed
ties and rails across the track which
were struck by the south bound train
soon after 10 O'Clock, doing but little
damage, 1t is understood that enough
obstrueJions were placed upon the
track to wreck train but they were
placed in such way that when the
engine struck them they were thrown
from the track. Deputy Sheriff VIC.
Fletcher is trying TO fad a possible
clue to the perpetrator.
Proctor in Lively Race
There promises to be lively race
with Senator Proctor as one of the
entries, for appointment to the finance
committee of the Senate to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of SEN
ator o. FL. Platt, says the Burlington
Free Press. This is the committee
that handles tariff bills and all other
revenue legislation in the Senate and
is also the committee with which the
late Senator Morrill, of Vermont was
prominently identified IS chairman
for many years. AS tariff legislation
is likely to have an important place
in Congress during the next two or
three years the desirability of the
committee place is enhanced.

Nan Patterson Will Be Released on Bail.
The jury disagreed in the case
against Nan Patterson for the murder
of Caesar Young after 13 hours de-
liberation at New York, their report
being made at 20 O'Clock Thursday
morning. They were sent out of the
court at once, but on second return
still failed to agree. The jurors were
discharged and Miss Patterson will be
taken back to Jail. This was the third
trial. 1t is thought that Miss Patter-
son will be released on bail and that
the indictment against her will be
quashed.

about the treatment of

| Lands in Vermont are
too cheap in most Sec
tons to make it pay to
re Il i'm run-d wn

expensive commercial
fertilizers, especially
where the soil is light
and sandy.
| There is abundant
evidence to justify the
assertion that Salt used

earth the moisture i'll
the atmosphere, thus
keeping the roots of

whereas without the

more than the expense
Of harvesting. 1t is
not true, we think, that
Salt can be proftably
used on wet, heavy or

The location of

only a little more than
half the price at which

We find from a null

Horton State capitol commission bill

Horton State capitol commission bill
over the governors veto.
The senate in committee of the whole
recommended the bill allowing the
payment of not to exceed seventy-6ve
per cent of SIS for an animal killed
for tuberculosis.
The house by vote of seventy-eig
to twenty-seven decided to wrest the
supervision of State educational in
situations, including the university
and the FIVE normal schools, from the
hands of the board of control The
bill is what is known as the Perley
bill and was a special order in the
house. Representative Mark voted
for the bill, Wyman against it, while
Craig was absent.
The bill by Senator Stephens of
Crookston extending the present law
for the drainage of State lands, passed
the house by vote of seventy eight
yeas to twenty nays, after a vigorous
effort had been made to amend the
measure SO as to change entirely the
policy of draining State lands. The
bill, among other things, permits en-
larging existing bitches. It has
passed the senate. 49,.
The Bjorge bill to provide for edu-
cational qualifications for county su-
perintendents of schools was killed by
the house. Following an hours con-
sideration, during which various at
tempts to amend it were defeated, the
house, forty-one to thirty-eight, in
definitely postponed the bill.
The Bjorge bill, which was in line
with recommendation made by Gov
ernor Johnson and the result of the
combined labors of the State superin-
tendent and a number of leading
county superintendent, provided that
county board of education should elect
the superintendent. Educational quail
ifications were to be required, and it
was argued that the plan would result
in a higher type of superintendent
and the removal of the Office from
politics. The bill was not practical
enough for many parts of the State.

Science and Manufa cture.

American manufactures have re-
ceived SO much praise lately that a
little adverse criticism will do no
harm. A noted English chemist says
American manufacturers and business
men have given too little attention to
the progress made by science and that,
in this respect, the English and the
Germans have far excelled them. This,
however, does not apply to the manu-
facture of golden grain belt beer in
which we lead the world. It has taken
years of careful study and thought to
perfect this brew, but today you get it
in all it's purity and healthfulness,
without doubt the most perfect food

The Good Templars' Entertainment
The entertainment given by the I.
O. G. T. lodge of Wyanett at the
Grange hall last Saturday night was
one of the best entertainments that the
lodge ever gave. The hall was
packed and there was not standing
room when William Freeman raped
for order and introduced Louis Rust
who made a very interesting address
in which he spoke of the good work of
the lodge, it's growth and prosperous
condition. He referred to the prize
piano, which the lodge possessed, and
on behalf of the lodge thanked all
who had worked SO faithfully to Sc
cure the prize. Mr.. Rust also spoke
of the good results that are to be
gained from entertainments and events
OF like character. Following the ad-
dress there was a very interesting
musical and literary entertainment
given. Prof. Erickson of Cambridge
was present and gave several piano
solos that delighted the audience.
There were a few present from
Princeton but not as many as the
lodge had expected.
The program committee certainly is
to be congratulated on the excellent
program which it prepared and which
was so we'll rendered in every respect.
The I. o. G. T. lodge of Wyanett
has a membership of about 100, and
all in good standing. The lodge was
organized about two years ago.

of the rural schools, nearly twice
over, in this one experiment.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington estimated several years
ago that the total loss annually to the
country from the oats smut is not less
than 5000, 600. Without doubt the
loss by SHUTS of oats, rye, barley and
wheat has been fully S4O,00O,OO0 to
the entire country annually. The
work of the agricultural experiment
stations has brought about remedy
for all these smuts through the use of
formaldehyde, corrosive sublimate,
copper sulphate or hot water, so that
any Intelligent farmer can save him
self from these losses by the cheap and
easy remedies offered by the schools.
Forty million a year has thus been
added to the value of the cereal crop
through this one discovery alone, and
this added crop has added value to
farm lands. A quarter century ago
the farm was piece of land for a
man to gamble on. Today it is a
place where a man may SOW with a
certainty of reaping in proportion to
the good sense and good work he puts
upon his farm. This is the main
cause for the increase in farm values,
and the chief reason why values are
SO firm at the advance Commercial
