useful men in America He is ia
nous because he is useful. His
career is as thrilling and romantic
as any fairy tale of the Arabian

Booker Washington was born a
slave on a plantation near Hale's
Ford, Virginia, probably about 1857
or 1858. AS the exact date is I'M
known and he has a quite natural
desire to have birthday, Mr.. Wash
ington usually selects Easter Sunday
for that celebration. The home in
which he was born was of the humb-
lest,-a windowless, one-room log
cabin with an earth floor that had
a hole in the center which served as
a winter home for sweet potatoes.
Wrapped in a few rags he spent his
nights on this dirt floor, and clad
in a single garment he often spent
his days about the plantation. No
one who has seen Booker Washing
ton can fail to have been impressed
by his affection for his mother
while she lived, and his devotion to
her memory. When about IL years
old he was hired by a white woman

Prices of Farm Produce.

That this year is not a hopeless
one for the farmer is shown by fig
ures issued by the department of ag-
riculture comparing the production
and prices of the season of 1911 with
those of 1910. The aggregate pro-
duction of crops in 1911, it is estt-
mated, is approximately 10 per cent
less than those in 1910, and about
four-tenths of 1 per cent. less than
the average production for the pre-
ceding five years. Corn was worth
121 cents more per bushel on Nov.
1 than on the same date last year;
wheat 1 cent, oats SO cents, barley
29.6 cents, rye, 11.5 cents, buck
wheat IL cents and potatoes 20.6
cents while the value of hay was
$2.66 a ton greater.
All the farmer needs to do is to
hustle and increase his production
as the time for Improbable prices
for his crops has gone forever.

To Advertise Vermont.

Speaking of booming Vermont
brings this suggestion. Let the edit
or of every Vermont newspaper dur
ing Thanksgiving week publish
something about what he considers
the best opportunity for investment
and development in his town or
county. Then let all newspapers
who can do so publish all the arti-
cles in the different papers.
We can conceive of no other plan
that would reach more people in
Vermont or outside of it. The ar
ticles should be short and instruct
i've so the papers could publish them
all. What do the other editors say
to giving this much free advertis-
ing first for our community and fin
ally for the state as a whole?

The general public will be greatly
pleased with the announcement
that the mileage rate on the Mont
pelier and Wells River Railroad is
reduced to two cents per mile and
that Boston and Maine mileage will
be accepted on that road. While it
is understood that it is an expensive
road to operate this little neck of
road has been the largest railroad
holdup in the state. Unless the st.
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain road
reduces it's rate there will likely be
large increase of travel from this
pelier and Wells River route.

on in the world" While still working
in Maiden he heard of uen. Arm
strong's school at Hampton, where
black boys would be taught and be
allowed to work to pay their expens-
es. He resolved at once to go, AL
though he had almost no money. AS
a result of his efforts he left West

The work done by the Tuskegee
Normal school is above all things
practical. The attendance of stu
dents during the year 1901 was
1,702; 588 women and Lila men.
These students came from 38 states
and IA foreign countries. In all the
departments there were employed
1873 instructors, officers and helpers.
The institution was started in 1881
and since that time about 5000
persons have finished a full or par
tial course, and are doing good work
remaining in the south as teachers,
farmers, and industrial makers. Ac-
cording to the budget adopted by the
trustees, the operating expenses for
this year will be $268, 965.39.

The Black Peril Decreasing.

The United States census brings
assurance to those who feared the
supremacy of the negro owing to
their natural increase being great
er than the whites. The last census
shows that the percentage is $50
per cent. and the colored popuIa-
ton is 1917 per cent. In 1880 the
percentage of whites was 865 per
cent. and Of negroes 1871 per cent.
So while the white percentage has
increased little over two per cent
that of the negroes has decreased
almost three per cent. Even more
reassuring are the figures in the
southern states where the negro
question is most serious. In 1910
the percentage of whites was 69.9
per cent. and of negroes 1913 per
cent. In 1880 these percentages
were whites $50 per cent. and
negroes SO per cent. Here the in
crease in percentage Of whites was
six per cent. and the decrease OF
negroes a little over six per cent
So the country can trust the negro
fairly without fear that he will be-
come dominating power.

new BOARD OF TRADE

Continued from page ID
For an income he believed that such
plant would earn at least $4,000
year which leaves a good balance
for interest and depreciation.
The next speaker was w. J. Big
Glow of ST. Johnsbury, who spoke
briefly on Vermont as a land oppOr-
tunity and that the vital necessity
for splendid board of trade was the
loyalty of the community and then
gave some figures showing that in
such staple crops as wheat, corn, po-
tatoes and hay, Vermont was far
above the average of the nation,
when the average crop per acre was
considered. also that Vermont's
horses, cattle, sheep and swine
brought a better average price than
the average price paid throughout
the country.
Raymond U. Smith of Wells River
was next introduced and he spoke
of the Importance of keeping boys
and money at home. He mentioned
the large paper mill at East Ryegate
and the Crabtree paper mill at Wells
River and the Light and Power plant
at Groton as examples of money be-
| ing successfully invested in the
state of Vermont. He also called
attention to the fact that it was i'm
possible to obtain more power in
Wells River than is now utilized. He
believed that if Vermont money
could be kept at home Vermont
might become an important manu-
featuring state.
William Terry of South Ryegate
expressed his pleasure at being pres
ent and told two stories which
brought down the house.
H. E. Parker of Bradford was
called on and also emphasized the
Importance of keeping Vermont
money at home for investment and
said that in very few instances had
the money sent outside the state for
investment proved profitable. There
were better opportunities for the in
vestment of money right at home
where we can watch it. He spoke

PAPER MILL REBUILT.
Edward Crabtree and Sons Greatly
Improve Their Production
Capacity.

The most important development
in the Industrial line in Wells River
this year has been the rebuilding
and enlarging of the paper mill of
the Adams Paper Company which is
operated by Edward Crabtree and
Sons. They have rebuilt their dam
and enlarged their mill and will
erect new engine house. The
plant when completed will consist
of new main brick mill 81 X sc
feet, two stories high, and a base
ment, brick engine house, % SO
feet, one story high, a large stor-
age shed and a paper machine room
attached to the main mill 70 So
feet in dimensions and one story
high.
The plant, which previous to the
improvements employed ID men will
when completed employ 20 men. The
output of the mill which was 1000
pounds of paper per day will be in
creased to 5000 pounds of paper
and it is expected that within a short.
time enough more machinery will be
placed in the new mill to increase
the output to 5000 pounds of paper
per day, thus TRIPPING the capacity
of the original mill.
The estimated cost of the improve
ments already made is $50, 1000 while
the expenditure to bring the capa--
city of the mill to 5000 pounds of
paper will make $25, 900 more. The
mill manufactures toilet paper en-
tirely which is made from rags, rope
and jute burlap.
The first large piece of work in
connection with the remOdelling of
this plant was the rebuilding of the
dam. 1t is a solid concrete dam AZ
feet from the base to top of the spill
way which is 70 feet long. The
concrete is 80 feet thick at the base
and tapers to feet, 6 inches at the
top. The construction of the new
dam will give fall of 20 feet and
develop 200 horse power.
In the basement of the new mill
which will have a solid cement foun-
dation will be located the water
wheels, pumps, machine shops and
drainers for use in paper making
On the first floor of the
main building will be the beater, the
rag boiler, which will contain three
heaters and has a capacity for three
more, which will be installed later.
Also one large regular boiler. The
second floor of the main building
will be used as finishing room and
will contain the paper cutter and
other machinery for the hn1sh1ng
process.
The new engine house will be a
one story brick building 20 SO feet
and an engine of 200 horse power
will be installed therein.

Boards of Trade.

The value of boards of trade has
been well illustrated in this Sec
ton during the past week. In st.
Johnsbury a meeting was held that
would have been impossible with
out such an organization as the
Commercial club. 1t had some
thing more than a commercial val
ne. 1t was educative and inspiring.
The address of Congressman Foster
was one of the most instructive
heard here in years. 1t dealt with
a political subject in a non partisan
manner and created a healthy and
intelligent support for the cause
of international justice. Previous
to the creation of the Commercial
club there was no organization that
could have brought so many bust
ness men together to have heard
him. The address of President
Benton of the University of Yer
mont was an inspiring one. His def

The election of Rufus B. Brown
as president Of the Vermont Bar as
ready to support him as candidate
for attorney general of Vermont.
Mr.. Brown possesses ability enough
to fill the position very creditably
and it is not improbable the people
will endorse the action of the Yer
mont bar. His candidacy is likely
to smother certain lieutenant gov
ernorship aspirations in Chittenden
county but they were so thick there
that there was danger of their
smothering each other.
