The society suffered a serious loss
in the death of G. i. Alexander of
Burlington, who had been treasurer
since its organization. At a special

lington was appointed treasurer. Two
successful public meetings were held
during the year in the interest of the
Red Cross work which were address,
ed by Miss Mabel T. Boardman of
Washington, d. c., the active head of
the National Red Cross. These meet
ings served to promote the cause ma
terially in Vermont. The member

organized in Vermont more than ten
thousand dollars has been collected
and distributed in relief funds for the
sufferers by fire, pestilence and earth
quake throughout the world. Re-
ceipts from last years sale of Red
Cross Christmas stamps exceeded $500
and the fund so raised was devoted
to assisting patients suffering from
tuberculosis within Vermont.

the total receipts for the year were
$1,51S, and over $1,000 was sent to
the National society for relief work,
leaving balance of cash on hand
of $316.54.
A new plan for the reorganization
of State branches and other subdi-
visions of the American Red Cross
was read and discussed. The plan
which has been adopted by the CEN
trail committee at Washington, the
governing board of the American Red
Cross, abolishes State branches and
in their stead appoints State boards,

JAMES t. RICHIE DEAD.
One Of st. Johnsbury's Most Promin-
ent Citizens Succumbs to Heart
Failure

ent Citizens Succumbs to Heart
Failure.
ST. Johnsbury, Nov. 26.-The death
of James T. Richie, one of the most
prominent citizens of ST. Johnsbury,
occurred at his home in this place
this evening at about $50, due to
heart failure. Mr.. Richie came to
st. Johnsbury about thirty years ago
and began work for the e. G P. Fair
banks Company in their dry goods
store, becoming manager of the estab-
lishment, which position he occupied
for ten years, then starting a dry
goods business himself, which he con-
tinued up to the time of his death.
His store was situated in the Citi-
zen,s Bank block, which was burned
down few weeks ago, and his eff
forts to straighten out the business
after this disaster have undoubtedly
FASTENED his demise, as he had been
slightly troubled with heart difficulty
previous to this latest attack. He
was one of the heavy stockholders in
the Perley e. Pope Company, of Mont
pelier, and in company with several
other members of the Richie family,
owned the greater part of Green's
boro and Greensboro Bend, where he
was interested in the lumber business
quite extensively. He was a member
of the Mystic and Scotia Clubs, and
had been president of both of these
organizations at one time.
He was born in Greensboro April
80, 1856, and after removing to st.
Johnsbury, married Miss Alice Hig-
gins, who survives him. No children
were born, but the deceased is also
survived by his sister, Mrs. ]. H.
Stewart, of st. Johnsbury, and his
brothers, Andrew, of West Barnet
John T., of st. Johnsbury, and Robert
A., of Greensboro Bend. No funeral
arrangements have been made as yet

EvICTED FROM HOUSES.
Ludlow, Mass, the Scene of Serious
Trouble Between Capital and La
b0r

Dor.
Ludlow, Mass, Nov. 28.-A striking
illustration of how far things will go
when there exists deadlock be-
tween capital and labor has been
witnessed here in the eviction of 200
people from their homes by the Lud-
low manufacturing associates on the
grounds that, inasmuch as the labor
ers refuse to work for the associates
they are no longer entitled to live
in the homes provided by the asso-
ciates at small rental for their en-
ployees.
The Ludlow manufacturing asso-
ciates own and operate the great
plants here from which jute and hemp
goods are turned out. Since August
there has existed disagreement be-
tween the company and employees,
which has been gradually increasing
in seriousness. In it's incipiency 1t
was small thing, merely score of
boys asking for raise from S. to $3.50
week and being refused. From that
trivial dispute there has developed
a deadlock, the company refusing
the demands and the employees in
sisting upon redress until 800 out Of
300 employees are at work.
A large majority Of the employees
of the company live in houses own
ed by the company and rented to
them by what is claimed to be low
terms, lower than the employees
could hire tenements from anywhere
else. Now the company declares
that, inasmuch as these employees
refuse to work for wages offered by
it, they will have to get out and
make room for the people that are
being hired under the companys
terms.

with the Governor of each State as ex
officio president for his State. These
boards are to meet and act in emer-
gencies and in times of national dis
asters only for the purpose of raising
and forwarding funds and supplies for
relief. The board, of not more than
ten members, will be appointed by the
central committee at Washington.
The meeting at Brattleboro recon-
mended the following members to
serve on the State board for Vermont:
Gov. George H. Prouty, president; DR..
H. d. Holton, OF Brattleboro, vice.
president; II. S. Howard of Burling-
ton, treasurer; c. s. Forbes of st.
Adams, secretary; e. C. Smith of st.
Adams, c. II. Darling of Burlington,
F. ID. Proctor of Proctor, G. s. Emery
of Newport, II. N. Turner of St.
Johnsbury and A. M. Fletcher of Proc
torville.
Hereafter the administration of the
branches of the National American
Red Cross will be known as chapters,
and will be organized in accordance
to the population in political subdi-
visions of States, like towns, cities, or
counties. The chapters will be organ
lied and managed, as were the old
branches, with officers and the annual
dues of one dollar, one half of which
goes to the treasury of the National
society.
AS Vermont is one of the smaller
States it will be best to reorganize
as one chapter, to be entitled the Yer
mont chapter of the American Nation
al Red Cross. Then, If enough local
interest is developed chapters will
be organized by county. Therefore the
following resolutions were adopted at
the Brattleboro meeting:
Whereas, the central committee OF
the American National Red Cross has
adopted new regulations for the gov
eminent of State organizations of the
American Red Cross, that took effect
November 1, 1909; and
Whereas, said new regulations SUI
persede the organized State branch by
| State branch for emergency pur-
poses only, and by chapters for adj
| ministrative purposes.
Be it resolved, that this Vermont
branch be hereafter known as the
| Vermont chapter, until such time as 6
local chapter shall be organized il
each county, by members of the Yer
mont chapter, and others, when the
membership of such members, resid
ing in such county, shall be trans
ferred to the chapter of that county
| That the officers of the Vernon
chapter shall be a chairman, vice
chairman, secretary, treasurer, and ;
membership committee of womel
members, composed of one from eacl
county in Vermont, whose duty shall
be to obtain new members, and or
ganize a chapter in each county.

THE FARM CENSUS SCHEDULE.
II Has Been Completed and Nine Mil.
lion Copies VIII Be Printed.

lion COPIES VIII BE Printed.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 2Gm6
sus Director Durand has m
from Assistant Director " Rm F.
Willoughby, a general scH0Khle for
the census of agriculture, April 18th
next, which Mr. villolSghby, in con-
junction with Prot Grand Powers.
chief statistician fer agriculture, and
the advisory board of farm econom-
lists and other agricultural experts,
has been formulating during the sum-
mer.
Director Durand has approved the
form and subdivision of the inquiries
and has ordered nine million copies
of the schedule to be printed by the
Government Printing Office in readi-
ness before January LIST, although
they will not be placed in the hands
of the $4,000 farm enumerators until
the usual time before the enumara-
ton date. II is believed there are
nearly seven millions separate farms
in the United States, each requiring
separate schedule.
The schedule is printed on both
sides of a single sheet, 13 inches long
and 16 inches wide, of white writing
paper, 26 by 80 inches. There is -
three-inch wide column of instruCY
tons to enumerators on both left
sides of the sheet so that 1t can be cut
off after the filled-in schedule has
been returned to the Census Bureau.
This makes the schedule smaller in
size and better adapted for handling
in tabulation than previous schedules.
A separate book of instructions to
enumerators supplements the sched-
ule information.
The nine million copies will con-
sumo $500 reams of paper, which,
counting SO pounds to the ream will
make weight of $4,000 pounds. The
charge for printing, including the cost
of paper, will be $13,66O. The sched-
ule is so standardized that it will feed
on the perfecting press used at the
Government Printing Office, which
makes nine thousand revolutions per
hour and prints four schedules each
revolution or a product of $4,000 per
hour, as against the old flat-bed pres
ses used on the 1900 schedules with a
speed of from 1900 to 1900 revolu-
tions per hour 1t will take about
three weeks to print them with the
press running sixteen hours a day.

SICK TWO YEARS
AFTER THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary
After the Acute Stage of the
Disease Is Past Before the
Health Can Be Fully
Restored.

A single attack of the grip may mean
lifetime OF misery if proper precautions
are not taken to restore the blood and
drive out the lingering poisons that
cause the SO called LATTER. effects" of the
disease.
The danger from the grip is seldom
over when the characteristic symptoms,
the fever, the catarrh, the headache and
the depression of spirits pass away.
The grip leaves behind it weakened vital
powers, thin blood, impaired digestion
and over-sensitive nerves-a condition
that makes the system an easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner.
vous prostration, and even consumption.
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
importance of strengthening the blood
and nerves during convalescence.
Mrs. w. II. Parker, of No. 90 West
Union street, Newark, N. Y, tells Of
her cure by this treatment, as follows:
II was sick for two years following
an attack of the grip and could get little
relief from the doctors treatment. !
had bad cough for over year and
sumption. was extremely nervous and
had trembling spells which affected me
so that couldn't sit still. During this
year had to lie down most of the time.
My heart palpitated and my head
ached frequently. / lost great deal in
weight, had no ambition and was not
able to do much work. had no appe.
tite at all and my stomach was weak.
II was led to try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills by reading of cure of case SINH.
lar to mine and felt some benefit in a
short time. The trembling spells left
me and / picked up right along until
was cured"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such blood diseases as anemia,
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers. Owing to the intimate relation
between the blood and nerves, the pills
have been found invaluable in such ner.
vous diseases as dizziness, nervous de.
bility, neuralgia and St. Vitus' dance.

PROHIBITION AT STAKE.
Alabama to Vote on Saloon Question
Today.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 2S.-The
fight between those who favor the
amendment of the State Constitution
in the interest of prohibition and
those in opposition closed Saturday in
a whirlwind finish and today the peo-
pie will vote for the rejection or ad-
option of the amendment The cam
paign has been one of the hottest AL
ALBANIA ever experienced and has at
tracted the attention of the entire
country for the reason that the re-
suit is expected to prove more far
reaching in it's effect upon the ma
tional temperance movement than any
election held in recent years.
The prediction is being freely made
that If the constitutional amendment
is defeated in tomorrow's election the
doors of Alabama will be opened to
the saloons within three years. The
defeat of the amendment would be
accepted by the anti-prohibitionists
as reputation of the temperance
laws under which Alabama has be-
come one of the "dryest" States of
the Union, and little doubt is felt
that the downfall of the measure
would be followed by an energetic
campaign for control of the next
legislature, to be elected in 1911.
The fight will be carried before this
body, and the argument will be used
that the people are tired of drastic
prohibition laws and that this feeling
OF dissatisfaction was manifested in
the election wherein the prohibition
amendment went dov~ in defect
