LIBRARY GROWTH IN VERMONT.


It is impossible, of course, TO ascer-
tain the results of the library movement
in Vermont, but one is able to conject-
ure, basing his computation on single
local benefits, the value of the library
idea, as whole, by the numerical in.
crease of public Libraries and by the de-
gree OF appreciation which the institu-
tions seem to awaken. We nave the
word of the state board of library com.
missioners for it that "the past two
years have been marked by steady, con.
slant growth of public interest in the
work OF the free public library" With
that opinion in view, one learns with
pleasure of the marked increase in pub
lie libraries in the state since the library
commission was established, which was
in 1894. There were then forty-nine
libraries in Vermont; whereas there are
now two hundred and five. There are
now sixty library buildings, against
a scant few in the former year. BY far
a majority of the towns of the state
now have libraries of some sort, either
organized with state aid or by some
other means, and some of tine towns
which are not themselves supplied are
within comparatively easy reach of the
places which have the institutions. Tnere
still remain, however, some of the small
er and more remote communities which
have not yet acquired even travelling
library, and it is to those that the state
library commission will undoubtedly turn
the greater part Of its energies during
the next biennial term. Already splen.
did work has been done toward fostering
the interest Of the publ in this matter,
and the present board is to be congratu-
lated on the material steps taken toward |
a happy elimination of plan which
would have the entire state covered with
Libraries.

Chairman Hitchcock OF the Republican
national committee is training for the
title OF The Great optimist. According
to his repeated statements, there is real
ly no need TO go through the formality
of electing his chief, Taft; but, as the
New York Sun says, it is still good deal
like counting unmatched chickens There
can be little doubling the statement,
however, that the conditions favor the
election of Taft over Bryan. What may
happen to overturn those conditions is
problematical Hitchcoek's sangIine feel.
ing is perhaps partially explained by the
understanding that 1t is part of the role
Of a national campaign manager to claim
anything and everything in sight.

MONTPELIER

The annual meeting OF the directors
Of the Montpelier Country club was
neld at the club house Saturday evening
the directors meeting being preceded by
a stockholders meeting at which the re-
ports of the officers for 1907 and 1905
showed those periods to be the most
successful in the history of the club.
The old board of directors was selected
with the exception of G. M. Heaton, re-
moved to Topeka, and J. Il, Goodenough
was elected to FIJI his place. The d.
rectors stand as follows; II. NJ. CUT
Ter, B. p. Bailey, A. B. Bisbee, G. +.

being done by representative of the

The window is on the east side of the
church beside the window which was
erected there years ago by the children
to the memory of Charles Dewey, hus-
band of Mrs. Dewey. It is nearer the
front of the church than Mr. Dewey's
and is almost opposite the seat in which
the deceased occupied during the time
she went to Christ church.

REMOVING GRADE CROSSINGS.

One of the most important works of
the Vermont state board of railroad com
missioners during the past year has been
the carrying out of the new requirement
that railroad abolish each year at least
one grade crossing for every eighty miles
Of its trackage. Since the spring Of
1907, when the board started the work,
it has ordered forty dangerous crossings
abolished, leaving less than 900 to be
done away with. The Importance of
this work is thus summarized by the New
York Globe in commenting upon the sit
uation in its state,
while Massachusetts, has been spend.
ing at the rate of about for hundred
thousand dollars year in removing
grade crossing during the last eighteen
years, New York, since its legislature
provided in 1898 for their elimination,
has devoted only sl5o,0o0 annually to
the work, and has still s,733 of these
danger spots. For the lack of adequate
appropriation we allow one hundred per-
sons to be killed every year and as many
more to be injured by trains on public
highways"

blame for this disereditable showing upon

played the Ashland Normal team
in the Ashland opera house on Sat-
urday, December IL. The game
was an interesting one though our
girls were badly handicapped as they
were not prepared for the slippery
floor, as were their opponents, and
consequently could not move about
quickly. The team consisted OF the
following players: Clara Calhoun,
center; Genevieve Pattillo and Ha-
eel Anderson, guards; Merle Cald-
we'll and Pauline Coe, forwards.
The subs were Clara Woke, Annis
Love and Elizabeth Davis. Chap

OF the first half was 10 to 2 In Ash
lands favor. The last half Of the
game Ashland threw two baskets
and Grants Pass one.

SMALL BLACK SPOTS
FOUND ON PORK

During the butchering season of
the year the Experiment Station fire.
quently receives specimens OF pork
that present an unmarketable ap-
roarance The rind or skin, taken
from the abdominal region AID in-
side the legs, is found to be dotted
with black wart-like growths of
various sizes ranging from that OF a
pin-head to a hazelnut Many of
these spots In the early stages con-
tain a small amount of pus. and by
careful examination a small mite
will be found buried deeply in the
skin.
The mite, causing these pustules
and subsequent black spots is known
as .Demodex fulliculorum var suis''
very large name for such small
mite that may be seen only bv the
aid of magnifying glass
Just when the mite attacks the
nog is not well known, and as II
burrows deep in the skin, treatment
or the use of insecticides is of little
value; besides there is no indication
of its presence until the time of
butchering. when the damage is al
ready done.
These blackened spots, although
unsightly, do not injure the meat for
food, and they may be completely
removed with the skin.
