SMALLPOX KEEPS

in this section of the State recently, re-
suited in not one Of the jurors empanelled
for the December term of Caledonia
county court appearinG at the court house
when the session opened to-day. AL
though it is considered that the spread of
the disease has been checked, President
c. S. Caverly of the State board of health
instructed the men that they had better
remain at home. As a result Judge W.
w. Miles announced that he would not
hear any cases that required a jury or
witnesses. Some of the court business
that can be accomplished without calling
in outside parties will be done and then
the court will take a recess until the
danger passes.
In various places near St. Johnsbury,
there have been several hundred cases of
smallpox during the past few weeks.
No deaths have been reported as yet
Attending physicians fear. however, that
now that the cold weather has set in, the
cases will be more severe.

CHANGE IN IMMIGRATION.
Failing UH OF 27S.424 Stecrnge Passen-
gers In Nine Months.

New York Dec. A.-IIerbert Francis
Sherwood in discussing the ebb and flow
OF immigration in the Review of Reviews
for December says that little attention
has been given to the fact that in the
course OF the year which is just closing,
a marked change occurred in the move
ment OF immigration to this country.
Between January and September 10,
1911" he 81 vs. "450GI0 persons landed on
our shores from the third-class cabins of
the transatlantic liners. While some
ardent rcstrictionist might assert that
this total was large enough. yet it was
less than two-thirds the number who
came to us in the same class in tho
course Of the corresponding period of last
year. The exact falling off was 27S,42
or 3S1S per cent. Perhaps a knowledge
of the fact that the number Of those who
sailed eastward in the steerage in the
course Of the nine months which closed
on September 30 was 300.Oi0 or GG55 per
cent. of the total Of those who entered.
and an increase over the number who
went to Euronc last year of 35.41 per cent
will cause our restrctionst friend to 20
to the length of throwing IN his hat in
his enthusiasm
to the Dominion of Canada for the first
nine months of this year in contrast to
that of this country was greater than
! for the corresponding period of last year,
but the ebb was only Is 10 per cent. Of the
! flow. This, ii will be recalled, is about l.
| per cent below the average for the Uni
! ted States 1t, however. was six per cent.
| higher than that for the corresponding
| period of 1910.
"Only recently has the ehb and flow of
immigration been accepted as register
OF the condition of the labor market in the
! United States. or has IL been recognized
as obedient to the law of supply and de-
mand We now realize that this country
| has tapped supply of labor which is
sufficiently automatic in the expansion
| and contraction of It's current to meet
the needs Of a land subject to such fluc-
