According to reports over 5000, 900
tons of coal are being engaged for
delivery in New York city this month,
and that on many orders premiums
ranging from Is cents to 81 ton are
being paid. The Consolidated Gas com
pany, the Interborough Rapid Transit
company and various heat and power
plants are said to be buying all the coal
they can get even at the premium. 1t
was denied that there was any inside
information from either the coal miners
or operators as to the prospects of a
strike over the demand for increased
wages. 1t was said that the stocking
up was merely precautionary

M. j. Hapgood of Peru, Vt, but
who has spent the winter in Boulder,
Colo, has made announcement that he
will offer six farms in Peru with rent
free, the only stipulation is that
preference will be given to families
with children. For each child born
upon the farm he will establish bank
account. Peru last year, with popu-
lation of 300, had II births and one
death and that from old age. Each of
the farms is offered for five years and
each has 100 acres with taxes paid and
firewood and material for repairs fur
nished. The conditions are that the
hay is to be fed out upon the premises
and the tenants must be economical,
respectable and industrious. Two of
the better places have rural delivery.
The tenants must also be from out of
town as an increase of good population
is the object aimed at.

The Relation of the Library to the
Country Life Problem

Prepared by Miss Eta M. Clark, IL
brarian of Middlebury College, in the
March issue of the Vermont Library
Commission Bulletin.
The librarian beginning to study the
literature of the country life movement
will be impressed by the consistent fail
ure of rural sociologists to consider the
library as an important factor in the
solution of their problems. The coun-
try church and the country school have
both been exploited as possessing cure
for all the ills of country life; but the
library which by virtue of its position as
free, public institution, should APP
proach more nearly the ideal commu
nifty center, has failed to be so con-
sidered.
Vermont is a typically rural state.
Its relatively important location, its
scenery, healthful climate, good soil,
and proximity to markets would seem
to offer unusual attractions for making
life on the farm profitable and pleasant.
But what are the facts? Mr.. Roose-
welt put it mildly when he said, there
is discomfort in the country and in
many places encouragement. Great
numbers of our people are restless and
desire richer, wider life than their
farm homes offer.
The deficiencies of American life
which the country life commission re-
ported are conspicuously true of Yer
mont, i. e.. lack of knowledge on the
part of farmers of agricultural condi-
tons and possibilities, poor schools,
isolated homes without comforts or con-
venences, and lack of an organized So
cial and recreative life. People every
where are beginning to recognize that
the situation is vitality important one;
for the welfare of the country is the
welfare of the whole nation. The cry
ing need now is for leadership in helping
to develop all the resources of country
life to their highest efficiency. Let Yer
mont librarians not miss sharing in this
great opportunity.
To what extent and along what lines
may librarians find opportunity to for
ward this movement?
We should begin by mastering the
literature of the subject. 1t has sprung
up almost in day, has all the fascina-
ton of new subject and is brief enough
for US to know thoroughly.
have referred to the possibility of
the library becoming a social center in
the community, but note that | did not
say the social center. The number and
efficiency of cooperative agencies will
determine the limits of our efforts.
Cooperation, the watchword of the
rural life movement, we should adopt
for our own from the very beginning.
Our ministers, teachers, physicians, ed
tors, and other public-minded citizens,
many of whom are already thinking and
working along new lines in their special
fields, would, if federated in a club for
the study of social problems, consider
and discuss each phase of the subject in
the light of the whole problem. The
agricultural extension department of
Iowa state college has published Study
Program on Home, School, and Commu-
nifty Life, which would be found invalu-
able for use in such club.
Economic improvement is the most
important issue. Failure to use modern
scientific methods in rural sections has

Three Onnkes Are Recorded.

Seattle, Wash, June 9.-Three
slight earth shocks we're recorded on
the selsmograph at the University Of
Washington, indicating that the vol
canic disturbance in southwestern
Alaska, which has agitated the deli
cate instruments in the observatorles
throughout the United States the last
three days, are still in progress
Professor Henry Landes, geologist at
the university said that the shocks
recorded today were not as severe as
fhose Of yesterday and this led him
to believe that the eruptlons are
elowly subslding.
The three shocks were OF about
half an hours duration each. The
first came at 1884 a. m., the second
at 1921 a. m. and the third at 1
o'clock this afternoon.

Fairbanks Gets In.
By seating the four delegates at
large from Indiana, the Taft people
gained material advantage, as former
Vice-President Charles w. Fairbanks
is one of the number. The latter had
been selected for chairman Of the COM
mittee on resolutions, should Taft con-
troll the convention
In explaining his attitude in the In
diana contest, Senator Borah declared
that, while he believed frauds had
been perpetrated, and that he did not
believe he ought to endorse them, still
he was satisfied that the evidence
showed a primary was held, and that
Taft carried Marion county Because
Of this, he announced, he would vote
to seat the Taft delegates, Committee
man Kellogg took the same attitude,
and the decision seating the Taft dele
gates was then made unanimous.
The first of the Indiana contests
was then called. BY unanimous vote
the committee seated the Taft dele
gates from the First Indiana district.

Safety Is Reached.

At o'clock Friday morning, the
Dora having steamed so miles out Of
l. her course, clear air was reached
and the passengers were able to
breathe freely again. Looking back
they could see the column Of smoke
and ashes still pouring out of the
volcano.
The Dora was engulfed in dark
ness again Saturday as she neared
seldovia and felt her way carefully
to Seward.
The volcano disturbance is the
most violent ever recorded in Alaska.
It is estimated that an area Of 300
square miles, much Of 1t fertile ter
ritory, has been covered to a depth
of several inches by the volcanic
ash.
The town Of Kadiak is at the north
east extremity OF Kodiak Island and
Is farthest removed from the volcano.
Grave fears are entertained for those
on the other side Of the island, which
is rs miles long and so miles wide,
as there is no means Of communica-
tion with the settlements and word
cannot be received until a steamer
touches at the points or messengers
travel cross to Kadlak. Some Of the
most important fishing stations in the
north are on the shelkof shore Of
the island, and large crews of men
arc at work in the cannerles.

Experienced political observers who
have been watching the trend of events
in West Virginia are predicting that Mr..
William Fontaiue Alexander. of Charles
Town. Jefferson county. has splendid
show of being elected State Auditor at
the Novem er election. Mr. Alexander
is the Democratic rominee. and he will
undoubtedly get the support of the unit
ed Democracy OF the Mountain State
and also draw from the ranks of other
parties. MIR. Alexander. who has a host
of warm friends aud number of family
connections in Winchester, is emtnently
suited for the very important effice of
auditor of the state. possessing not only
splendid business qualifications. but he
also has excellent executive ability.
Above all, he is man whose honesty.
aud faithfulness to every trust
has never been assailed. His friends
are very hopeful of his being elected by
the people of West Virginia at the polls
