A LOYAL Service.

There is just on publication which it
is admitted all Vermonters should have.
Reports to this effect are widespread
and unending. We refer to The Yer
monter, published as the state maya
zine, at White River Junction, VT
This magazine varies widely from all
others in that it serves up Vermont
material only, in way to do the State
proud While small in bulk nothing is
too large to be covered in presentation
as witness such memorable editions as
its Tercentenary number last year and
its recent report of the State Fair
replete with n illustrations. How
such completeness is possible at $l.OO a
year is beyond our understanding pos
sibly it is because editor Chas. r. Cum
mings is printer of unusual expert
ence. However, The Vermonter is a
going proposition and promises great
things for 1911. Send in your subscrlp-
ton.

Population of United States.

The population of the United States,
according to the figures issued by the
federal census bureau, is SO, 402, Isl.
This is 16, 145, 52l, or 20.9 per cent
greater than it was in 1900.
This total includes Alaska, Porto Rico,
and Hawaii, and also those in the army
and navy services stationed abroad.
For the continental United States,
the 40 states and territories, the total
is 81 972, 266, an increase of Is, 977, 691 ,
or q per cent. over 1900.
This gain of 10000, 600 is greater than
that made during any previous decade,
nearly 8, 200, 900 greater than that made
in 1890-l9O0, the largest previously. The
per cent of gain, however, is smaller
than that of any decade, except in 1890
1900, when it was POI
The population of Alaska, Hawaii and
Porto Rico, together with those in the
army and navy stationed abroad and on
naval vessels, amounts to | ,429, SS5, and
makes the total population SO, 402, ISL.
The addition of 7, 635, 426 for the Philip
pines, as enumerated in the census
there in 1903, and estimates for Guam,
Samoa and the Panama canal zone
brings the great total to 101, 100, 600.
The corresponding total in 1900 was
SIS, 271 093.
Among the separate states first place
is still held by New York, with a popu-
lation of Glib, Ga, nearly as great as
that of the entire country in 1920. Penn.
sylvania remains second, Illinois third.
Texas adding 847, 1872 to her population,
pushed Missouri out of fifth place, and
Massachusetts has likewise passed
Missouri and stands sixth.
Other changes are in the case OF
Michigan, which has taken eighth place
from Indiana; of California, which has
risen from 2lst place to 18th; of Geor.
gia, which has passed Iowa and taker
10th place; of New Jersey, which has
risen from 18th place to 18th and of Ok.
lahoma, which has risen from 28th place
to 23d.
Other states and territories which
have gained in standing are Arizona
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota
Utah and Washington.

National Flower Show at Boston

Boston has been picked out to have
the Second National Flower Show ever
held in America. The first, held some
years ago in Chicago, was on a much
smaller scale than the one now con-
templated 1t will be held under the
auspices and in connection with the
convention of the society of American
Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists,
and assisted by The American Rose,
The American Carnation and American
Gladiolus societies and the cooperation
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So
ciety.
This will give very adequate testi-
monial to the "class" of the coming
exposition, and when it is known that
the society has appointed Chester l.
Campbell as manager, there is no doubt
that it will be, as claimed, the most
extensive floral exhibition ever attempt
ed. The entire Mechanics building has
been engaged and the opening day will
be Saturday. March 25th, continuing
through the following Saturday, April
LIST.
Over $4,000 will be offered as pre-
miums and all the prominent florists
and growers of the country will COM
pete, as well as the private gardeners
of many of our large New England
estates. In the trade exhibits all the
greenhouse construction, pottery, fer
tilizer and garden supply people have
taken space and every flower lover,
from the humble possessor of six by
six back yard garden patch to the
owner of large estates will find some
thing to interest them outside of Won
derful display of flowers and plants.
A number of leading concerns are go
ing to great expense in their exhibits,
three in particular involving an outlay
of nearly $1,000 each. These will pre-
sent typical Holland or Dutch garden,
and Old English garden and an Italian
garden respectively. Even from far
off Japan is to be imported the material
for Japanese garden, and in fact, in
many countries, gardeners and growers
are forcing their yield which in many
instances will show varieties away out
of the regular season, for this occasion.

Vermont Boys Conference.

The first Vermont Boys Conference,
to be held under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
will be held on January 10, Ia and 18th
at Ludlow, Vt, and will follow the plan
which has been used in other States.
The thought of the whole conference
will be to present to older Christian
boys their opportunities and response
bility for Christian service; and asso-
Citations, churches, Sunday schools,
Knights of King Arthur, Boy Scouts,
and similar organizations are invited to
send delegates.
Among the men who will be present
will be Mr.. E. M. Robinson, interna-
tional secretary of Boys Work; Mr.. H.
w. Gibson, Boys Work secretary for
Massachusetts and Rhode Island; Mr..
P. G. Orwig, field secretary of the
Boy Scouts of America; Rev. H. A.
Durfee, D. D., general secretary of the
Vermont Sunday School association
Rev. A. P. Pratt of Bellows Falls, and
others.
The conference will open with ban
quet on Friday evening, January 18th,
and close with the service of Sunday
evening.
1t is earnestly hoped that every asso-
citation and other organizations dealing
with boys will make a special effort to
be represented at this conference.

For Christmas

The bells chime happily across the
night
The night that crowns the almost dy-
ing year
And soon the morning, witn its dawn
ing light,
Prcclaims that Christmas day at last
is here.
The children high aloft the boar's head
bring.
And as they march their merry carols
sing.
While Christendom joins in their tune
full lay,
For at this season all are glad and
gay,
And men and women. with their
hearts aglow,
Shout out with one accord on Christ
mas day,
"Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-
toey
Emblems of many an old time honored
rite,
OF boisterous mirth and homely, hon.
est cheer;
The Yule log. flaming high and blazing
bright;
The mistletoe. to youths and maidens
dear.
See for snapdragon how they form a
ring
Or in a contradance their partners
swing?
Lord of misrule makes good his 80
briquet.
And all his mandates eagerly obey.
He Yields the scepter and with loud
halo
Cries Justify, with none to say him
nay,
"Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-
toev
All climes and classes own the seasons
might
1t rules alike the peasant and the
peer;
The humbest home presents a happy
sight:
The sternest judge forgets to look Sc
we're
The very birds fly by on lighter wing;
The clustering north wind seems to
lose its sting;
The old and young, the golden haired
and gray,
Devote the hours to merriment and
play,
Ana far across the crispy cracking
snow
We hear a chorus from a flying sleigh.
Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-
toe"

Increase in Oieomargarine Con
sumption.

The production of oleomargarine in
creased from 92, 282, 815 pounds in 1909
to 139, 755, 426 pounds in 1910 Of this
latter amount 3,49l, 978 pounds were
taxed at ten cents per pound. 1t will
thus be noted that over 81 per cent of
all the oleomargarine manufactured
during the last fiscal year was taxed at
only one-fourth cent per pound. These
figures are issued by the federal internal
revenue commissioner and are authentic.
They clearly demonstrate the fact that
the oleomargarine business is not work =
ing under such burden as MANY peo-
pie think. People have heard so much
about the ten cent tax on artificially
colored oleomargarine that they have
naturally associated this tax with all
oleomargarine.
AS matter of fact less than three
per cent of the total product is taxed at
ten cents per pound, the remainder
being taxed only quarter of cent per
pound.
An effort will probably be made by
the oleomargarine manufacturers to
secure the repeal of the ten cent tax
at the present session of Congress.
These statistics indicate that the claims
advanced that the present law is a
burden upon the poor man because it
taxes his butter ten cents per pound
is not founded upon fact.

The actual number of seals sold to
date is nearly 100000 in excess of
the entire number sold in 1909 and is
already nearly three times the sale of
1908. If the sale this week keeps up at
the same rate as since December 1st
the national authorities estimate that
over $500, 900 will be added to the tu-
berculosis funds in all parts of the
country. This will be double the
amount realized last year.
Engaged in this campaign for selling
Red Cross Seals is an army of over
100000, including men, women, and
children of every rank and station.
Agents have been appointed in one or
more places in every state, except Idaho
and Montana. Among the groups and
institutions which are assisting in the
movement are the Anti-Tuberculoss
Societies, Red Cross Chapters, Women's
Clubs, Labor Unions, Lodges, Schools,
Banks, Theaters, Department Stores,
Hospitals, and innumerable other
agencies. Thousands of dollars worth
of advertising is being donated to the
campaign, and many millions of circu-
lars are being distributed to remind
people to buy Red Cross Seals.

The United States custom officials at
San Francisco have been stirred to
action by the recent discoveries of ex-
tensive smuggling of opium and Chinese
emigrants into the port of San
Francisco.E An order has been issued
that all incoming vessels from the
Orient are to be closely wat ched as
soon as they enter the Golden gate. 1t
is believed that much of the smuggling
has been successfully carried on by
lowering the contraband goods down
the side of the vessels before the
customs inspectors got a chance to
board the vessels.

The chosen theme of many a fancy's
fight.
A ballad monger or a sonneteer
Yearly his Christmas poem will indite
or coy maiden and her cavalier.
Shakespeare full often had his merry
fling.
And Milton tuned his harp to noble
string;
Irving the scenes of Christmas could
betray.
And Dickens it's true spirit could con-
vey.
To song and story a rich debt we
owe.
And with triumphant cheer this tribute
Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-
toe!
And as the sacred season circles near
All evil thoughts and themes are
banished quite;
Our lives become more gentle and sim
cere;
Our hearts can uuu no TOOlu 1OE oOio
or spite.
Paeans of praise from thankful hearts
upspring
To celebrate the birthday of the King.
All humbly for our brothers veal we
pray
And ask a blessing on our future way;
Our generous gifts on others we be-
stow;
'Peace upon earth. good will to menW
we say.
Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-
toen'
ENVOY.
Spirit of Christmas, we accept thee
yea,
Right willingly we bow beneath thy
sway!
We join our songs to those of long

With this refrain, for ever and for aye.
