The Editor of Our Homes"
has put in a busy two weeks ir
October. The bulletin goes to
press the middle of the month.
and up to this date the editor has
moved her residence, given a
weeks undivided attention to a
bad cold, seen Our Homes through
the composing room, and secured
one new member and three new
subscribers to Our Homes for the
campaign. She has also found
time to notify Miss Bennett that
as soon as her sea-sickness abates
the Presidents two new members
must be secured as subscribers to
Cur Homes. No number of new
members secured will excuse any
body, from our chief officer down,
from doubling h erself on the SUBJ
scription list of Our Homes.
CHANGES.
Our entire conference sustains
great loss in the removal of our
Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. L.
M. Broyles, to anoth r field. She
has done excellent work, and it
is with deep regret that we see
her go. The best wishes of our
conference attend her.
At a call meeting Of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Woman's
Home Mission Society, held Nov
ember II, at Winona, Miss Walt
er Campbell, who has given faith
full service as a district Secretary, |
was elected to fill her place.
The Office of district secretary
of the Winona district was given
to Miss Pearl Head of Ruleville.
Mrs. N. V. Hutchinson, of |
Winona, was appointed organized
of young peoples work in the
conference, and Mrs. LiddelI
Small, of Winona, manager of the
Membership crusade.
Membership Campaign.
Is your auxiliary making an
effort to double it's membership
and to increase it's subscription to
the missionary periodical? If not
you are behind the times. The
demand for increased income for
Home Missions grows with the

With the present income there
,an be no enlargement of Home
Mission work. We must go for
ward. We can only go forward
by an increased income assured
oy doubling of membership.
We cannot take an intelligent in
crest in this work without a
knowledge of all that is being
lone which will come to the indi-
,idual who reads the missionary
periodical. Fall in line, therefore {

subscription list. Let each aux
liary report to it's campaign

CONCERNING AUTO LICENSES.
Secretary of states 0hiicc Now Rush.
ed by Owners of Auto Cars.

The automobile owners of Vermont
have been making a rush on the Sec
rotary of States office during the past
two weeks, getting out their automo-
bile licenses for this year The
greater part of these licenses are
made out at the office of SECRETARY of
State Guy w. Bailey at Essex June
ton, although those coming to the
Capitol office are filled out there. AS
consequence. Mr.. Bailey has not
been able to appear in town for the
past 10 days.
The licenses this year differ slight
ly from those issued in the past, in
fact they are inscribed on linen, so
that they are untearable and they
come under new filling system.
rhe fee now is 81 for each horse pow
er for new car the first year, %
cents the second year and 80 cents
the third and during each succeed
ing year. The licenses that are is
sued now hold good until the first
day of next December, although 1t
matters not when they are taken out
The Secretary of States office will be
rushed for a few days longer as some
of the owners in the northern part of
the State are just getting out their
cars for the season.

was first taken from the wreckage,

The rear wheel was still running 1T

was to throw out the clutch and
stop this wheel, which was tearing

bility and ordered her removed TO

capped with comparatively slight in

not been for the other injuries.

DR.. Chandler stated last evening
that Mrs Almon's condition is SER

recovery cannot be decided for some
days yet. She was bruised about the

A good many people visited the

ON WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Gov. PrOuty Says Vermont Is Way
Behind Other States in This Con-
nectiNn.


When Gov George II. Prouty was
asked yesterday regarding the pro-
posed weights and measures confer
ence to be held in this city he said
that the reason why the meeting has
been delayed was that it was the de-
sire of all interested to have as large
an attendance as possible and to Sc
cure as much information regarding
the matter as could reasonably be
collected so as to be able to present
for the consideration of the confer
ence all the material possible intel
ligently and devoid of all supertlu-
lily. The Governor said that Vermont
was behind most of the other States
in putting upon the statute books
law for the regulation of weights and
measures. and that it was about time
that something should be done to cor
rect matters.
Gov. PrOuty said that c. p. Hazen
of St Johnsbury. who is connected
with the Fairbanks Scale Company
there, is very much interested in the
coming conference, having made sew
eral trips to Washington for the pur-
pose of securing information at first
hand and would have much light to
shed in connection Herewith at the
conference Lieut. Gov John A.
Mead, who is president of the Howe
Scale Company of Rutland, is also
interested, the Governor said, as we'll
as many others. and in his opinion
the conference could not help but be
productive of gratifying results
Among those who will attend the
conference is a Massachusetts expert,
who will undoubtedly be able to give
many valuable tips concerning
weights and measures.
The Governor left on the evening
train for Burlington. where he will
JOIN the board of visitors to State
institutions and the party will then
proceed to Nergennes and look over
1 the Industrial school there, after
which they will go to Rutland. where
the House of Correction will be in
spected tomorrow night A visit will
then be paid to the Soldiers Home at
Bennington. No further plans have
been made
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1910-04-28

said that ii was most important to
do this work, only because It was
of benefit to the telephone company.
Mr.. Jones stated that the place in
question is bad one, one of the worst
of the system Because of interference
at this point it is sometimes impos-
sible to give certain parts of the State
good service. Furthermore, 1t is a
source of constant danger and as
danger is what the changes are aim
ed to do away with, he regarded this
as an important part of the work.
Chairman Redmond at this point
withdrew the question from discus
sion, reserving it for the members of
the commission to thresh out, as it
was apparent that the interested par
ties We're not able to agree on that
point
The matter of a supervisor for the
work was next brought up and Mr..
Davidson suggested that c. d. w.
Jarvis engineer for the New England
Company, be selected, and this was
agreed to. Mr.. Davidson will
have general charge of the
work but in case of dispute will
refer matters to the Commission and
their expert.
1t is probable that the order for
the work, when issued, will order
certain work this year and further
state that annual hearings will be
held and orders issued. 1t was sug-
six months instead of five, making
the limit November /. Mr.. Redmond
stated that the order would undoubt-
eddy require that all permanent poles
in the cities be painted, the color
specified probably peing green, such
as has been used to some extent.
In conclusion Chairman Redmond
thanked MIR. Jones and the other of
ficers of the New England Telephone
Company and the others who We're
interested in the matter for their
help and courtesy in handling this
problem, which is unique in New
England. He regards the order to
be issued covering the work, as be-
ing perhaps the most important the
Commission has ever issued 1t would
have been easy for the interested par
ties, particularly the telephone COM
panies, to have made the work hard
er and more unpleasant for the men,
bers of the Commission, and Mr..
Redmond assured them that the
board was grateful. The hearing
then adjourned. This morning the
Dodge Bridge crossing matter will
be taken up.

TWAIN LAID TO REST.
Last Rites Over Body of Famous
HumOriSt Held at His Old Home.

Elmira, y. Y, April 24.-Under a
tent on the grassy slope of the Lang
don plot in Woodlawn cemetery, with
rain beating fiercely against the
canvas cover, little group of
mourners silently watched today as
the body of Samuel l.. Clemens was
lowered into an evergreen lined
grave beside the bodies of his wife
and children. The Rev. Samuel +.
Eastman, pastor of Park church AMI
a close friends of the late humorisJ,
conducted brief and simple service,
and Mark TwIins final pilgrimase
was at an end. Tonight he lies
sleeping under grave piled high
with flowers, the tributes of friends
from far and near
There were present at the grave
only members of the family party
who came from New York with the
body, a former governess Of the
Clemens family, two of her friends
the sexton and half dozen news
paper men.
Services had previously been held
at The residence of General Charles
j. angdon, where forty years ago
Mark Twain married the generals
sister. In keeping with Mir. Glenn
ems wish the ceremany was simple.
There was no music, no honorary
pali-bearers-just the brief address
and prayer of Dr. Eastman.
The body lay in state in the very
parlor where the marriage of forty
years ago was held and some of
those who attended the Wedding We're
there today TO look for the last time
upon the face of their friend. Neither
the Rev. Thomas *. Beecher nor the
Rev. Joseph Twitchell who performed
the wedding ceremony was present,
however, Mr. Beecher died several
years ago and Mr.. Twitchell, who
had been expected to attend was call
ed to Hartford, his home by the ill

ing.
The services at the house were
public, hut the attendance was not
large Beside the funeral party
which accompanied the body froI

only a few relatives and old friends
