The Annual Statistics.

The Vermont figures were mailed to
the secretary Of the National Council,
March 81, a date considerably later
than last year, and much later than
ought to be necessary in any year. 1t is
hard to see why it should not be possible
to send the complete returns to Boston
by March /. This year the following
reports were obtained with much diff
Guilty in some cases. after the latter date,
the names being given in order of time:
Rupert, Danvlle, Kirby, East Fairfield,
Island Pond, Burlington College ST.,
Jacksonville, West Newbury, West Paw.
let, Stowe, Barton, Sharon. At this
writing nothing whatever has been
heard from Upper Waterford.
The ngures show the year 19O9to have
been in almost every respect another of
the lean years of famine. Membership
fallen to 81 1865, loss of 90 from last
year. The loss would be much more
but for the odd discovery that one of the
larger churches has for some years failed
to count its absent members into it's
total membership. The rectifying of the
report of this church has added sc to the
total. The additions were ACT by con.
fession, 398 by letter, total 865. This is
the smallest number of additions since
1882. The removals, 429 by death.
500 by letter, IA by discipline and re-
vision, total 1905, are at about the
average number. The removals by
letter are above the average, which per-
haps accounts for slight drop in the
number of nonresident members (556O).
The number of infant baptisms 1921
exceeds the adult 1922, for the first time
since these have been reported with
sufficient care to make the comparison
possible. Families, 18,484, show the
slight gain of Is. Sunday school
membership, 1880, is 1922 less than
last year. There are six fewer young
peoples societies. with POI fewer men,
bers. The benevolences, now given as
$44, 773, have sustained loss of $16,-
845 from last year. 1t is fair to say
that much the greatest part of this loss
is in the gifts to AL other charities"
and that our UNCONVENTIONAL work has
suffered to the extent of not quite $1,000.
Home expenditures, 1925, 424, are
$3502 less than last year. The vaua-
ton of church property has increased
$47,500, but this evidently does not
represent actual gain so much as
higher estimate of value. There is also
an increase in invested funds.
The additions received since the New
Year, and the increased spirit of vigor
and hopetulness which is so largely pre-
valent in the state will prove a needed |
to the feeling of depression
which the record of last year might
cause, and we may hope that the years
OF famine are now ended Vermont |

PRESS COMMENT.
Freight Rates In New England

The necessity of readiusting freight
rates in New England over all rail lines
so as to meet the approaching opening
of water navigation, is being made the
subject OF conference between the heads
of various railway systems in New York
this week. 1t is announced that Pres
ident Lucius Tuttle of the Boston &
Maine railroad has been added to the
list of those comforting on this subject,
his system being link in the New Haven
and Canadian Pacific all rail line com
bination.
The specific object OF the conference is
the investigation of the Canadian Pacific
preferential, but it is understood that
the whole subject of New England rates
is presenting some new and complicated
conditions owing to the change in policy
announced by the Grand Trunk of which
the Central Vermont is an important
outlet to ocean points.
1t is understood by the other lines that
during TIE coming summer the Grand
Trunk which has hitherto had a con-
tract with the New Haven system as
regards boat transportation, will put on
its own boats on various routes leading
from New London to other ports, as it's
contracts with the New Haven system
will expire in July. This will put the
Grand Trunk in an entirely independent
position to handle freight to both Bos.
ton and New York.
While no freight war is anticipated it
is recognized that an acute situation is
rendered all the easier by the fact that
the lake differential rates will open on
April 10 the effect of which will be to
divert freight from the Canadian Pacific
route to such routes as that of the Rut.
land and the water line operating in
connection Herewith. This will tend to
restore matters to their normal condi.
ton and thus tend to prevent a war
over rates between various lines OF
transportations between the West and
the Atlantic seaboard, practically all Of
which affect the New England situation.

.DREAMLAND
is COMING
SATURDAY

The mere announcement that En-
NETT Dewey, in his newest and best
effort, I'm Dreamland," will be 1he
piece de resistance at the Graud opera
house Saturday night, and it is ex-
pected will cause run on tie box
office.
The story of the play is II at of a
somewhat selfish young married man
who believes in spiritualism 70 the
exclusion of everything else. He is
upbraided by his wife and her mother
for his foolish belief. Upon being
left alone he lies down upon couch
and proceeds to dream a fantastic
story dealing with a fairy daughter
of Venus, Mephisto and other spirits
During the action humorous situa-
tions are brought about by the aid
of electrical effects and shadowy tab
leaux. A climax is reached when the
young husband sees his wife, whom
he loves as much as he is capable of
loving any one other than himself,
in the arms of chum and former
rival for her hand. He draws his re-
volver and fires point-blank at the
pair. The report of the pistol awak-
ems him and brings his wife, who has
been attracted by his cries, rushing
to his arms. The dream proves to
be a good lesson to the young hus-
band. He is effectually cured of his
penchant for spiritualism, his bump
of self-esteem is reduced to normal
size and he shows a disposition to
treat even his wife's relatives as if
they were human. The electrical and
mechanical effects are bewildering
and keep the audience bordering be-
tween laughter and awe. No small
part is played in the dream by an
East Indian magician and a former
graduate from Kellar and Thurston's
black art academy. Neither pains
nor expense have been spared in the
production and Mr.. Devoy's support
ing cast is one of unusual strength
and capability. 1t contains among
others Hermine Stone, Josephine Rob
inson, Eva Randolph, Natalie Jerome,
Emily Anderson, Villa mHurst, L.
b. Carlton, John e. Mcguire, Will-
lam Eckstine. Arthur Luris, John
Dillon and Charles Hudson.

A. Welch has closed arrangements
by which the Spaulding Logging
Company of this city will enlarge
their steam plant and furnish power
to operate eight cars If needed on
the two miles of line Mr.. Welch is to
build inside of six months.
Mr.. Spaulding was seen this morn
ing and said he had made Mr.. Welch
a price on power that has been ac-
cepted by Mr.. Welch. This will mean
a large expenditure by the Spauld-
ing plant for the generation of cleo
trio power. Mr., Spaulding will, at
the same time, put in enough power,
made from the mill waste, to oper-
ate his new planning mills, that will
be erected at once on a site north Of
the present mill. This all means big
ger payrolls for the city of Salem,
and possibly competition in electric
lighting and power for manufactur-
ing purposes.

MRS. SCOTT
IS ELECTED
Defeats Mrs. Story in D. AR-by
Narrow Margin.

Washington, D. c., April sS--
After twenty hours devoted to count
ing and re-counting the ballots, cast
yesterday, the Daughters of Ameri-
can Revolution today found the
honors of the biennial election of
their society divided between the
administration anti-administratio n
forces. The big fight of the con-
gress won by the administration, in
the election of Mrs. Matthew T.
Scott, of Illinois, to be PRESIDENT
general. The second Office IN point
of honor, that of vice-president-
general, in charge of the organiza-
tons, however, went to the anti
administration followers by the cleo
ton Of Mrs. Miranda B. TuBoch, of
this city.
With a majority over Mrs William
Cummings Story, of New York, of
only eight votes out of SIS ballots
cast, Mrs, SCOTS victory goes down
on the records of the society as one
of the most closely contested in the
history of the organization.
The insurgent candidates for
offices, below that of president-gener-
al, made practically clean sweep,
capturing almost all the more impor-
tant places. Tellers made their re-
port to the congress a. tonight s
session. Those elected are:
