GRATITUDE.

What is this which We hearf Can IL
be possible that the Central Vermont

station Tor Barre, has gone TO llardwick
or Bethel for the granite trimmings to
be used in the structuroy Does the
Central Vermont railroad overlook the
tact that Barre produces a granite which

Judging by the statement from the Office
OF the Woodbury. Granite company of
Hardwick and Bethel that the contract
has been awarded to that concern; which
does look like shipping Goals to New
castle or scissors to Manchester" with
vengeance.
Let the officials of the Central Yer.
mont consider the significance OF such
contract. For thirty years their road
has been shipping millions of tons Of
granite out OF Barre and the road has
been kept out of the poor house largely
through the tremendous receipts thereby
secured. Its own figures show the very
great lift which the Barre Branch has
given toward paying the expenses OF the
coporation-mor accordingly than any
other branch line or any considerable
portion OF the main line from st, Al.
bans to New London. Furthermore, the
business is increasing every day of every
year; and more geld is pouring into the
Golfers OF the Central Vermont railroad
than it ever dreamed OF securing before
the Barre granite section was opened
up and the industry developed to the
advantage of the transportation compa-

Barre hillside could respond as feelingly
and as mansuly as the Central Vermont
railroad is doing. II isn't the monetary
value of such a trifing contract that

UNIVERSITY IS
WORK
Many Farmers Institutes
Have Been Hell din Va
rious Sections of
the State.

The demand from the farmers OF the
state for institutes" has become very
great, and shows that the rural popu
Iation is trying to keep abreast or the
times. The average attendance at
these meetings has been larger this
year than II was last. More effective
work. TOO, has been done during the
last few months than ever before.
Last year much time had 10 be spent
IN the work OF organization; this be-
ing done, the institute workers have
more time to devote to the meetings
themselves. 1t is very gratifying to
the Experiment Station TO note that
where an institute has been held for
the second time in a county the at
tendance in every case has greatly in
creased.
Institutes have been held recently
in the following counties: EScambia,
eight sessions; Santa Rosa, SIX SEES
sions; HillSborough, four sessions;
Warrington and Gadsden, two ses-
sions each; and Walton, DeSOto and
Lake, one session each. Many Other
requests have ben received to hold
institutes in places where they have
already been held, but these requests
have been consistently refused, in or
der 10 COVE other places a chance to
secure the benefits to be derived from
such meetings.
The state offers fifty-seven lectures.
The choice as to which of these shall
be given is made by the local commit
tee of arrangements. This local COM
mittee has, furthermore, to provide
for a place of meeting and TO adyer-
tise throughout the neighborhood, SO
that as large an attendance as pos
s1ble may be secured. The expenses
of the speakers are met by the state
The various monies from federal ap-
preparations to the Experiment Station
cannot beSused for holding institutes.
Except for the fact of advertising
there are practically no local eX-
penseS, as in almost every case the
use of hail has been given free.
Where a hall has not been secured
without expense, the meetings have
been held under the trees. So farm
ers wishing an institute to be held
in their vicinity need eXpend only
little time and energy.
During the coming week institutes
will be held in Franklin, Liberty and
Calhoun counties. It is hoped that
before this school year closes, insti-
tuteS will have been held in practical
ly every county in the state Re-
quests for institutes should be adj
dressed to the Superintendent of
al ItSiS INSTITUTES dJ GdlncSNllle-
and should reach him at least month
before the date wished for the meet
ing.
Local speakers are usually secured
to make some of the addresses at the
institutes. Besides these local speak
ers talks have been made at recent in
stitutes by such men as Prof Rolls.
Mr.. c. K. McQUarrie, the Hon. A. S.
Meharg, Mr.. Charles Simpson: Mr. A.
w. Stewart, and DR.. Z. w. Berger.
With these men available the insti-
tuteS of this season will no doubt be
eminently successful-even more sue
cessful than those OF last year. and
the success of last year surpassed all
expectations.
