Question Not a New One.

The beginning of the fraternity
question dates back to the Chancellor
administration. In October. 1907, Mr..
Chancellor. as school superintendent
appointed a committee to investigate
the high school fraternities and sorori-
ties. When the committee made its
report in May, 1908. A. T. Stuart had
been appointed to fill ChancelIors DO
sition. This committee recommended
that no drastic measure should be
taken with the Internationally such
as would protect the schools.

the several high schools with their guild
ance. saying they should control them
with due vigilance and when the secret
societies were found to exert any evil
influence upon the activities of the school.

In pursuance of this report regulations

first official announcement of the occa-
sion made by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culonis today, the leaders of the move
ment state that they hope to enlist all
of the 33, 900, 900 church members in the
country.
In one respect tuberculosis Day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of 1910.
Instead of requesting the churches to
give to the tuberculosis cause special
Sunday service, the National Associa-
ton is going to ask this year that meet
ings, at which the subjet of tuburculo-
sis and its prevention can be discussed,
be held on Sunday, April Goth, or on
any other day near that date, either in
the week preceding or the week fol-
lowing. What we want" says DIR.
Livingston Farrand, Executive Secre-
tary of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
in report on this movement, "is to
have this whole subject of tuberculosis
discussed in all of the 200, 900 churches
of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible. This does not
mean that a stated service mnst be
given over to this work, though that
might be desirable, but that any min
lister, or other authority whom he may
invite, can present the problem to his
congregation before or after his reg
ular service, or on any day within the
week preceding or following April 30th. "
The National Association is planning
to gather statistics from thousands of
ministers, showing how serious prob
lem tuberculosis is to every church.
These figures will SHOW among other
things the number of deaths last year
from tuberculosis in the church con-
gregation, and the ways in which the
pastors are called on to minister to suf-
ferers from this disease. 1t is planned
also to issue millions of circulars and
pamphlets on the prevention of tuber-
culosis, both from the national Office
and from the headquarters Of the $50
anti tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate in the movement.

mineral resources of the State as they
are developed up to the present time.
Lists of the principal companies
working rocks or minerals are given
that dealers or contractors in any part
of the country may exactly find the ad-
dresses of those who may be able to
supply any wants.
All in all, it is safe to say that few
States get more from the money ex-
pended on their geological work than
does Vermont. 1t may also be added
that few States have any more reason
from purely economical point of view
to be liberal in supporting such work,
for the future growth and wealth OF
this State depends more than that of
most States upon the development and
growth of the stone industries.
AS we have hitherto remarked. Pro-
fessor Perkins holds a leading rank
among the biologists of America and
the people of Vermont are to be con-
graduated upon the fact that they are
able to continue to profit by his prestige
as well as his extended knowledge of
matters pertaining to the develop
ment of Vermont.

The following from the Youths Com
panion shows the interest that is being
taken in the meeting to be held at
White River Junction under the direc-
ton of the Windsor County Y. M.
c. A.:
Some time in the late spring a great
'get-together" banquet in the interest
of all Vermont will be held at White
River Junction. 1t will be such an &C.
casion as is sometimes arranged for a
single community, but in this instance
it is statewide in its scope. Leaders
who represent all the various interests
in the life of Vermont educational,
religious, philanthropic, fraternal, in
dustrial, agrlcultural-will assemble,
and it is hoped that the gathering will
sound forward note for the entire
state. A committee of the Windsor
County Young Mems Christian associa-
ton is in charge of the arrangements.
EXPIRES. Roosevelt has promised the
committee that he will attend, and his
address upon Cooperation in Country
Life will be made the keynote of the
occasion.

The Chinese Famine.

Probably the section in which the suf-
fering is most severe is the northern
part of the province of Anhui, north
and east Of the Kwai and Kwo Rivers,
This is territory of some 1000 square
miles, with a population aggregating
$500, 900. Here the direct cause of the
famine was the destruction of fall crops
through floods, resulting from the heav-
lest summer rainfalls on record. Fa-
mine conditions have prevailed here for
the last four months. Thousands of
refugees have left the district, but
many, being unsuccessful in seeking
support elsewhere, are returning, pre-
ferring to die in their native place. 1t
is estimated that a million people,
chiefly handwriting farmers, will be
dependent upon charity for their exist
ence until the spring crops.
The people are left so poor that they
are able to plant only one third or one
half of the usual amount of wheat sown.
1t will take several years for this region
to recover from it's heavy losses. Some
aid has been rendered by the govern
ment, but it is inadequate to save life
and avert suffering to any material ex-
tent. The people and the gentry are
DESTROYS of foreign aid, and Chinese
and foreign relief committees have
been organized. The missionaries are
working heroically and doing all that
lies in their power to relieve the dis
tress. The Christian Herald.

A suit has been instituted by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to re-
cover from one of its patrons of the
road the sum of 81, 16 The amount in
volved is the railroad fare from Phila-
delphia to Belmar, N. J. 1t seems that
the defendant in this suit bought a
ticket, but on getting aboard the train
was unable to get seat and was forced
to stand all the way. He refused to
give up his ticket to the conductor on
the ground that he did not get a seat
and saw no reason why he should pay
his fare as long as the railroad company
did not furnish him with a seat. The
railroad company thereupon instituted
legal proceedings for the recovery of the
amount of fare. The case is regarded
as test case and will be watched with
unusual interest.

Again the Boston Art commission has
refused to allow the portrait of Julia
Ward Howe to behung in Faneuil hall.
This commission, which has full control
over the selection and placing of pictures
and statues in the city of Boston, how
ever has suggested that the memorial
committee have it hung in the public
library. The reason given for their re-
fusal is that in their opinion the hall
is now overcrowded with pictures.

Middlebury, Jan. Oath, 1911.

The following communication from
William H. Eldridge of Twin Falls,
Idaho, formerly of this town, will be of
interest to many of Middlebury's citi-
zens and shows the great potato pro-
ducing qualities of Idaho:
"The palm for the greatest yield of
potatoes this year goes to Twin Falls,
Idaho. Louis A. Snyder, a farmer liv-
ing near Twin Falls raised 645 bushels
on one acre, winning the prize of $500
offered by Mr.. D. E. Burley, General
Passenger Agent of the Oregon Short
Line. The contestants were farmers
living along the Oregon Short Line
railroad in the states of Utah, Idaho,
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Wyoming. The prize potatoes We're
the Dalmany Challenge, potato origi-
nally imported from Dalmany, Scotland.
This potato has proven prolific grower
and has an exceptionally fine flavor.
The prize acre produced 3S, 6S5
pounds, or 645 bushels. The crop sold
for about $500, thus netting 5000 on the
acre to Mr.. Snyder.
''ln speaking of the cultivation of
this acre of potatoes, Mr.. Snyder said
tlty were pldHteu May -lSl, lJlU.
The planting, cultivating and digging
We're all done by machinery. There
We're 20 rows on the acre, the rows be-
ing 33 inches apart, and the hills nine
inches apart. This gave 20, 700 hills to
the acre. The first cultivation was on
June 18th, and the second on June oath.
The first cultivation was five inches
deep and the second six inches. The
ground was irrigated three times and
the land was furrowed for irrigation
June 28th. In cultivating the potatoes
two-horse riding cultivator and wing
shovel pillow were used. The crop was
harvested october Oath and 25th.
''This yield is exceptionally remark
able from the fact that Mr.. Snyder had
no farming experience previous to his
coming to Twin Falls about four years
ago"

Homeless and Penniless.
Coney Island, the playground of
New York, suffered the worst disas-
ter'of its history Saturday. Dream
land the largest of the amusement
parks, was wiped out and about four
blocks adjoining, covered with
booths, restaurants, hotels, moving
picture theatres and resorts of varied
types, were destroyed.
The fire broke out at 2 O'Clock in
the morning and was not under con-
troll until three hours and half la
ter. The loss will amount to be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, 600.
In all about 200 buildings were
burned and perhaps 1000 persons,
concessionaires and employees, were
turned into the street homeless and
penniless. No lives were lost.
The fire was discovered, a tiny
blaze, in the tarred scaffolding of
Hell Gate" scenic railway close
to the entrance to "Dreamland." "
Twenty minutes after a frightened
watchman had turned in three
alarms, one after another, as fast
as his thumb could press the key,
all "Dreamland," ten acres Of closely
packed buildings, was one blaze. The
flames, urged by strong wind, were
visible for nearly fifteen miles.
Close to Hell Gate" where the
fire started, was the .'Bostock animal
show, and nearer yet the infant incu-
bator, 4 charity nursery, in which
were six infants and their attendants.
The children we're taken out in their
little glass houses and rushed out of
danger by the police. Then came the
work of taking out the animals, a
costly collection, including several
dangerous man-eaters. The animals
we're in a panit. Their roaring could
be heard for many blocks above the
cracking of the flames and throD-
bing of the engines.
All went we'll until the transfer
was nearly concluded. Then the big
gast of the lions, in panic, broke
from his bonds, smashed his way
through the barriers and leaped into
the streets, all plrked by throng
of spectators. He dived straight into
the middle oil the throng. Constern-
alton seized the multitude aid the
crowd rushed pell-mell in all direc-
tions in panic. He was hunted down
and killed by policemen. Sixty 9th
er animals were burned to death.

Pinned beneath their engines in
Watkins creek, on which are piled
seventeen cars of coal, ape the
bodies of Engineers Lindsay and
Green and Fireman Dooley. Two
others are perhaps fatally injured as
result Of double-header Seaboard
Air Line coal train going through
wooden trestle between Ellenboro
and Bostic, N. c., about five o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
The train was moving slowly east
bound and had passed nearly over
the trestle when it gave way, both
engines falling depth Of forty feet
and seventeen steel coal cars piling
on the engines. The second engine,
on which were Engineer Lindsay and
Fireman Dooley, was covered up
completely and neither man has as
yet been located. A .nangled hip can
be seen but it is not known to which
man it belongs.
Engineer Lindsay's people live at
Cherryville, while he made his home
in Monroe. His whi?e flremen, Roy
Dooley, also made his home in Mon
roe; Dooley's people live at Will
mington. Engineer Rod Green, on
first engine No. 7O4, lived at Mon
roe. His remains have been taken
to an undertaken at Shelby.
Early Lewis, the colored firemen
on Mr.. Green's engine, felt the tres
tie give and jumped in time to save
his life, although he Is, painfully and
perhaps fatally injured about the
head and shoulder. Don Nealy, a
colored brakeman, was on the ten
der of the second engine. He has a
broken back and the doctors say he
will not recover. !"
