king of the World is the name of
the new breed of corn which George
Washington Jones of Brandon develop
ed, according to Mr.. Jones' statement.
He has, the past week, been showing
some stalks of corn on which are i'm
mense ears of l6 rowed corn. The ears
are "a foot long and nine inches in cir
conference, and what is unique, if true.
is that this is the only corn that bears a
leaf to the tassel. If this corn is the best
corn III the world, than it is rightly
named, for corn, the king of corn, is the
king of the world.
The ''chinch b ug" has destroyed about
-four acres of grass IN the moving of
Luke Parish in Randolph Center, killing
every green thing. Some of the bugs
were sent to Burlington and Assistant
Horticulturist Armstrong sent back the
reply that they were ''chinch bugs" and
had not heen reported in the state since
1895. In the West it does considerable
damage to wheat and other grains, but
in the East the damage is usually con-
fined to different kinds of grasses.

Postal Savings Banks.

Three postmasters in Vermont have
applied to the postofice department to
have their offices designated as postal
savings banks. Eight banks in the
state have asked to be designated as
depositaries of postal savings bank
funds. The Burlington postofice is not
one of the applicants.
Assistant Postmaster Carney said
yesterday that, while no definite in
structions as to the new system had
been received at the Burlington office,
as he understood the matter, it would
be in the experimental stage for the
first year, one Office in each state being
designated.

Mistook strych,ine for Candy.

The tw%o-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence Barton of Tyson, died
Thursday afternoon from the effect of
eating strychnine tablets which she
evidently mistook for candy.
The child was at the family cottage
on the shores of Rescue lake at the time
and died before a doctor could reach
her. The mother had left for Buffalo
but a few hours before and the father
was at the State fair, the child being in
the care of her grandmother.

A DECADE IN WAGES
OF RAILWAY MEN
Record of the Steady Increase in
Pay Of Various
Operatives.

Last weeks decision by the Pennsyl-
vania, the Reading. and other con,pa-
nies to increase wages OF employees in
general is the second time within the
past two years that such action has
been taken by the railroads. In Novsm-
ber Of 1906 a general increase Of 10 per
cent was granted. Those two cases.

creases that have been made in the pay
Of railway employees during the past ten
years.
In the spring OF 1913 the railroads were
forced TO suspend Improvement plans.
because money could only be raised by
the sale of short-term notes. but wages
were not reduced.
What happened was that between
$1,000 and 1900 employees were let out.
The same thing happened after the
panic Of 1907.

they compare, is shown in the folio wing

LOCAL SECURITIES
WERE VERY QUIET
Sentiment Influenced by the
Gloom on Wall Street-Un-
dertone Is Good.

WashingtOn's security market certain
ly reflects. to a certain extent the un-
satisfactory, unsettled and unusual con-
ditiOns no so dominant in Wall Street.
II is we'll understood that there can be
nothing but a sympathetic reflection,
for the securities listed here are almost
entirely those OF a local character, and
me existence or the future of the cor
pOratiOnS whose stocks and bonds make
up the trading list on the Washington
exchange are not dependent on the
forthcoming Supreme Court decisions
Tor they are not trusts in restraint OF
trade
But the cl.ief security market Of the
continent cannot be shrOuded in gloom
without giving investors generally a
mild dose OF the shivers, without caus-
ing some shifting of investments and
without inducing some conservation Of
resources for the purpose of facilitating
quick action in the event OF the fog on
Wall Street rapidly rising, and giving
the bulls a clear field for aggressive
action against the great short interest
now outstanding.
Again our market reflects in its very
limitations the indispoSitiOn of Oper-
ators 10 do anything Six sessions with
an aggregate business Of 745 shares Of
stock tells the tale Of one Of the quiet
weeks in the record OF spring seasons in
Washington. And with the limited sales
or stocks, came movement or $i3,62O
face value in bonds.
Despite this inactivity there was a
good undertOne 10 the local market and
closings on the leading stocks were near
the high of the week, Gas and Mer-
genthaler being the exceptions and both
closed about a point OF from high but
still with a good show OF strength. As a
real matter Of fact the fluctuations in
the traction shares were unimpOrtant-
