MEMS BANQUET.

The initial banquet OF the mems bible
class OF the Ellsworth Falls church was
held Wednesday evening, Oct. %. The
young ladies' OF Mrs. Whitney's Sunday
school class prepared the supper and waited
on the men. The tables were set for sixty,
and when the hour for the supper arrived
the men came in until every place was
filled but three. Over seventy men pur-
chased tickets, but some were unable to
attend.
The supper was OF the substantial nature
which appeals to the appetites OF men
whose days are spent in the mills or the
woods, and the way the food disappeared
was a most sincere compliment to the
young ladies, although there was not
man who failed to express his appreciation
In words.
condition OF the little lad Mr.. Danforth
told the men about who could chew but
couldn't Swallow" any more, Mr.. Cup

which remained for discussion. In few
words he expressed his conviction as to
the need in every place OF community
consciousness" righteous in character. He
said he believed in mems Willingness to
work for such an end, and pledged his CO.

men might like to see initiated. The pro-

he insisted that the spontaneous Begin

an evidence Of its inspiration. He APP
proved the earnest utterances he had
heard from the speakers Of the evening,
and cheered the men for the fine start
which had evidently been made. Then
the growth and success of the Danforth
class was described, and methods OF win

tuberculosis Movement I%ncreas-
ed 700 Per Cent.

From statistics published to-day in
the new tuberculosis Directory of the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, it is as
certained that over 600 cities and towns
of the United States, besides about 100
in Canada, are engaged in the war
against consumption, and that on April
1st there were nearly 1900 different
agencies at work in the crusade, an in
crease of nearly 700 per CEN in the last
seven years.
The new directory lists 421 tuberculC-
sis sanatoria, hospitals, and day camps;
81 associations and committees for the
prevention of tuberculosis; 342 special
dis%pensaries; 6S open air schools; %
hospitals for the insane and penal insti-
%tutions making special provision for
their tuberculosis inmates; besides Civ
ing an account of the anti-tuberculosis
legislation in every state and in about
$50 cities. The directory, which is the
third of its kind that has ever been pub
lished in this country, gives the most
complete survey of the anti, tuberculo-
sis movement that can be secured, and
shows the remarkable growth of this
campaign in the last seven years. The
first directory in 1904 showed only 1888
organizations and institutions in the
entire United States. The second
diractOrv in zoos renOrted $40 diffarant
agencies, as compared with l440 in the
new book. Taking these figures as a
basis, the tuberculosis movement
has increased in force since 1904, near
ly 700 per cent, and since 1908, over 105
per cent.

Denial by Director of Geological
SURVEY.

The report which has been given some
circulation that adverse action has been
decided uponi in the case of proposed pur-
chases of national forests in the White
Mountain region is denied by the Direct
or of the United States Geological Sur
vey. Senator Gallinger and Representa-
tives Kinds, Weeks, and Peters have all
brought this matter to the attention of
Director Smith, and have received from
him assurances that the rumor is with
out foundation.
Director Smith states that the re-
sponsibility of the United States Geo
logical Survey is set forth in section 6
of the Act which provides that preced-
ing any purchase there must be an ex-
animation of the land by the geological
survey with a favorable report to the
secretary of agriculture Showing that
the control of such lands will promote
OF protect the navigation of streams on
whose watersheds they lie"
Although it has been definitely re-
ported that the geological survey has
condemned at least two of the New
England rivers as not being navigable
streams within the meaning of the
Weeks Act, it is pointed out by Director
Smith that such a statement contains a
double error. In the first place, the
determination of what are navigable
streams within the meaning of this act
lies with the National Forest Reserva-
ton Commission, and second, the
position taken by the geological survey
is that it is not warranted in p~rejudging
the case of any area and that either a
favorable or u~nfavorable report mustbe
preceded by actual field examination to
determine all the factors in the local
problem.
The geological survey is under the law
the determinative agent whose certifi-
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1911-05-12

cation is necessary to show that the
land, the purchase of which is contem-
plated, has some material effect on
stream flow and the protection of navi-
gability. 1t is the position of the sur
vey that in general forest cover does
promote and protect stream flow, but
with the multiplicity of widely varying
factors that enter into the problem as
presented in each different locality the
rule can not be given universal applica-
ton.
While the geological survey is in pos
session of a large amount of data re-
sulting from its many years of field
surveys, topographic, geological and
photographic, there is no case thus fan
noted in which the officials of the survey
regard the material already in hand as
sufficient to constitute the showing re.
quired by the Weeks law. 1t is, how
ever, their purpose to obtain this needed
additional information at once, anC
field men of the survey are starting thi:
week to examine areas in North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, and at conference
in Secretary Fishers office last weel
the director of the survey assured Gov
ernor Bass, of New Hampshire, Sena
tor Gallinger, and Representative
Weeks that examination within the
White Mountain region would be begun
this spring and the Investigations con
tinued through the coming field eason

The Cotton Plant.

All humanity wears cotton clothing,
but few people, who live beyond the
cotton growing area know anything
about the growth and development Of
the cotton plant. A cotton seed is an
interesting thing. From it we get lard,
oil and meal. The cotton plant in fruit
is more interesting than any rose or pot
ted flower. It's growth and maturity
furnishes an interesting study. The
plant will mature in doors or under cover
in the Northern states. Get a package
of seed and plant in a box in your store
room, in flower pots at your dwelling or
Office or under canvass or glass if out of
doors. Send two dimes to the UNDER
signed address and you will receive post
paid a package of seed with instructions
how to plant ard fertilize. You can
thus have an attraction that will interest
yourself, your neighbor and your frie ads.
