Log Drive Badly Scattered.

Contrary to the expectations in the
summer, the Connecticut Valley Lumber
company did not succeed in getting the
last part of their large drive of logs in
to the boom at McTndoes Falls for the
winter, but it is scattered now in the ice
for 20 miles above there. About one
third of the 100000 feet is in the Nc
lndoes boom. The rest is in the main
river, largely on the Fifteen Mile falls
and it would seem to be an impossibiity
to control them. mixed in with floating
ice whenever the river breaks up If
the ice should go out while it was thick
and the water high the combination of
such large number of logs might be a
great menace to property all along. In
the history of running the logs in past
years drive never has been hung up
in this way through the winter. The
handling of the business of the company
the past year, both cutting and driving
was in charge of an office man from New
York city, Mr.. Mcdonald who represented
the brokerage firm that financed the OPP
erations, and he was without experience
in logging and running river drives

Play Games of Puritan Children.

When, perhaps late in the afternoon,
they ran out to play, their favorite
games were probably the same as ours
oats peas beans, green gravel, Sally Wat
ers, hide and seek, kitty in the corner.
cross-tag, squat tag, and hop scotch
These games, we are told. derive from
remote antiquity. English children
played them in their primrose fields
when Crecy and Agincourt were yet to
be fought. More modern is the pretty
pageant king William which, how
ever, is strictly not a Puritan game at
all. 1t seems to have taken root and
hourished only where the Church of
England was established. Thus in the
old Episcopalian town of Arlington, VT,
1t is still played by children in the town
hall at Christmas parties, while it seems
unknown in the other Congregational
towns of Bennington county. The date
of king William is easy to fix, for the
opening rhymes plainly relate to the
glorious Revolution of 16SS:
king William was King James's son:
Upon royal race he run:
Upon his breast he Wore a star
To point the way to London Bar"

Good Reports Of international Paper
Company.

SOUpd'ys
For many weeks the mills of the In
ternational Paper company have been
producing at the rate of 102 per cent of
their capacity There is a big demand for
paper The plants of the company are
i'm better physical shape than at any
time in 10 years In the past IL months
$3.50 900 has been expended in improving
plants.
Probably $35O,OOO will be expended at
the Wilder, VT, plant in the development
of an important water power. The idea
will be to create surplus electrical pow
err for sale to manufacturing concerns in
and about Wilder for them to use during
the hours when the mill does not re-
qulre all this power.
In this connection an official of the
company says: international Paper
company has an enormous equity in its
power Inside of the next 10 years and
probably in half that time l expect to
see the company in the United States at
least more of power proposition than
a paper company. We have in the
United States and Canada a total of
over 100000 horse power Much of this
power is so located that it is getting too
valuable to use in making paper. Devel-
oped for electrical energy it must be-
come an enormously important source
of revenue. We shall get at this grad
ually."
1t is likely, too, that a third plant de-
velopment in New England will be I'M
dertaken this year which will result in
the production of considerable power for
sale to outside interests, particularly
consumers who require from 10 to 50
horse power each.
International Paper company has
changed the date of its fiscal year so
that it now ends Dec. 81. 1t is probable
that the six months statement to De-
cember 81 will show share profits sus-
tanned at the same satisfactory level as
during the u months to June 80 last,
which means a balance for the So, 4O6 900
preferred of per cent or at the rate
of per cent for the full year.
The question of an increase in the div
idend rate is not in the minds of the di-
rectors at present The company is
steadily getting into better physical con-
dition and stronger financial shape.
surplus moneys will be used for con-
struction and working capital rather
than to increase the present dividend.

PROGRESS OF FRENCH WOMEN

Thirty years ago there were three
colleges for women in France and one
preparatory school; now there are sew
enty-f1ve colleges and forty-nine pre-
paratory schools. What does the
change mean? Moliere, over two CEN
turtles ago, In lies Precieuses Ridi-
cules" and Lies Femmes Savantes,"
attacked the pose, self-consciousness
and loss of proportion which the wo-
men of his time sometimes showed in
attempting to be learned. Moliere
laughed, however, not at education,
but at lack Of common sense. II he
lived now he would not try to set back
the clock, and ask women to devote
to the needle the same attention that
she gave before machinery was in
vented. He would not ask her to live
as she lived before there were public
schools for her children; creameries
to make her butter and cheese; big
manufacturers to take her place in
preserving food; immense combina
tons to spin cotton, make cloth, dc
the dyeing, make up the clothing. He
would welcome the vacuum cleaner
the gas stove and the dumb waiter
and his laughter would be not fol
