could easily consume twenty million

South can raise it; but we must be
paid for it. Many plans are offered
for the relief of the farmers; most
prominent, crop Investigation
That would be splendid for some
countries, but in a region where it
only rains about once or twice year
and frequently not that often, moth

ton, and not much of that; so we
cannot diversity, no matter how anx-
ious we may be to do so.
Some of you may think this does
not concern the wmen, but men and
women are pretty closely connected
in this world and what concerns one
concerns the other.
There is another subject which
you will think does not concern us.
that I want to say a few words
about, and that is the way the mat
ter in most newspapers is arranged.
They do alright about some things;
baseball for instance, that is always
on page to itself, and you know
that is one page you do not have to
read. What I would like is for
every subject to be put to itself, and
have a regular place.
Some people DO not like to read
about crimes, disasters or anything
horrible. The newspapers should
give all such page to itself. SO that
it can be easily avoided. And then
the women want the political news
condensed; tell what is actually
done by Congress and the legisla-
ture so we will not have to read all
the proceedings to find out.
People out here are very anxious
to hear Mr.. Watsons comments on
the National Monetary Commission.
They think if he would explain to
the people, the evil effects Of turning
the entire control of finance over
to the bankers; it might cause some
to stir up their Congressman to OPP
position. Yours very truly,

A TEXAS SISTERS INTERESTING
LETTER.
LETTER..

Dear Sisters: S. T. P. wants us
to promise to write at least once a
month; I certainly can promise that,
for would take a delight in writing
every week, only | am afraid | will
take up somebody eIse's space. SO
I have generally waited till one let
ter was published before I wrote an
other.
There are ever so many things
want to talk about, but it seems to
me that the most important subject
to every individual in the South is
the price of cotton. The way we
have been robbed this year by the
low price Of cotton, ought to be
enough to teach us something. In
my opinion, Americas Georgia has
started on the right plan. We ought
to ship our cotton direct to Europe,
Asia, Africa, anywhere that they will
buy it, and cut out Wall Street
gamblers; and all other gamblers.
1t seems to me it would be a good
plan to let every state in the South
appoint man to go across the ocean
and sell our cotton (next years

it; not less than Is cents, and these
men negotiate with foreign coun-
tries, and find out how much each

THE BANDNEASTER.

At earliest dawn in the juniper tree
He tuned his band and he played
for me
The greatest bandmaster ever
known,
Whose music you've often longed to
own
AS you laid when a boy meath the
maple shade.
And heard him far off in the leafy
glade:
The owl, the catbird, the linnet,
Bandmaster Mockingbird, play
again!
Busy and fusty and full Of bluff,
He cocks his head On the side, and,
puff!
Witchery, witchery-'pon my word
Never was music like his song heard.
AS rallying the hosts Of the feather
ed throng
He gives the whole sweet gamut Of
song:
Redwing. oriole, bIuebird, dove,
Bandmaster Mochingbird playing
Of love!
A lapse OF silence TO change the note,
Then morning aWaking within his
throat,
Skipping and dashing from one to
another
With joy SO great that he seems to
smother
With bubble of ecstasy, just to make
A musical morn for the worlds
sweet sake;
Bob White, Whip-poor- will. martin
and crow
Bandmaster Mockingbird, there
you GO!
The fash of the white on his under
wing,
On the Juniper tree he starts to sing,
knowing, sly fellow. as we'll as me,
Some one is watching him in his
tree.
An audience is gathered and in our
hearts
A ripple Of praise for his beauty
starts:
Sandpiper, killdee, redwing, wren
Bandmaster MocAingbird, play
again!

Who among the four candidates nom
mated in this town will measure mp

MEAD FAvoRs HEALTH BUREAU.
Vermont Executive Told Vermont Health
Officers Last Evening.

Burlington, Aug. 27.-At the opening
session OF the Vermont health officers
school, being held at the high school
building, Gov. Mead last evening spoke
in favor Of national bureau of healea.
Gov Mead said:
I'VE are living in an age Of conserva
tion. In every walk OF life the word
is conservation. Apd why not look to
the conservation OF life and health, as
I well as to conservation of the physical
affairs? Vermont, among the first 10
study conservation of resources, can well
be the first {, promote conservation Of
our people. The value of our national
physical affairs is one hundred billions
of dollars. The value of our nationa!
human life is estimated at five times
that figure. Yet every year there ave
| 100000 persons unnecessarily i'll, and
| 100000 needless deaths
Year by year your great work as
health officers is coming to be more ap-
preciated. We are coming to realization
of the fact that everything depends on
the health OF the community. DIR. Wiley
says, what benefit is il to man to
accumulate million dollars and lose
his health in the efforti' In the face
of these facts, isn't there some one to
advance the study you are pursuing by
forming bureau of health at Washing

Other speakers we're President Thomas
of Middlebury college and DIR. G. s. Cav
erly, president OF the state board of
health. DIR. Caverly read a report from
DR.. +. T. Kidder of Woodstock, a mem,
ber of the state board of health, who
was unable to be present in person.
During the past year. there have been
from 500 to 600 cases of smallpox. ow-
ing to the difficulty of detecting the
disease in its mild form, resembling
chickenpox. The health department, said
DIR. Kidder, has been freed from political
influence in the selection of local town
health officers.
Sanitation of school houses in the
country and in small villages without
public water supply or sewers, he con-
tinued. should be improved in many
cases. The danger of typhoid comes
largely from the location of closets, cess
pools and barnyards near or higher than
the wells and springs. There were more
deaths in America in 1909 from typhoid
than from bubonic plague in India,
Whlcn mas twice our popuiatlon, ana IN
1910 there were more deaths from this
cause than from cholera in all of Rus
sia.
DIR. Caverly, in opening the session,
outlined the history of the school of IN
struction in Vermont, the first state to
hold one, which was established by law
in 1900. This school, with the state
laboratory of hygiene, said he, are the
two great factors in the improved sani
tation of the state and the lowered
death rate, and it is important that
every community be represented.

BODY NOT RECOVERED.
George Wesley Jones, Colored Chef, Was
Drowned in Lake Champlain.

Burlington, Aug. PA search is be-
ing conducted for the body of George
Wesley Jones, eolored chef, employed
in Nantauqua's inn at Malletts Bay,
who was drowned last week by the over
turning of rowboat The accident hap
pened between Pickerel and Thompsons
points in about go feet of water
Jones, with several other colored en-
ployes of the vicinity, had visited a
place ON Thompson's point and were
returning in two rowboats. He, with
another man, occupied one boat and
Jones wished to take the place Of the
man who was rowing The latter said
that he was willing to do the work but
Jones insisted and finally got up to move
onto the rower's seat. In doing this he
overturned the boat and both went into
the lake.
They grasped the boat which rolled
over and over, and finally Jones' grip
Weakened and he sank. The other boat
was only short distance away and the
men picked up the other occupant but
Jones did not rise to the surface again
50 far as could be learned in the dark
ness of the night.
Although an industrious search has
been made and the lake in the vicinity
of the accident has been thoroughly
dragged, no signs Of the mans body
have been discovered and it is evident
that the only recourse now is to wait
until 1t rises to the surface, as its re-
covery in so feet of water is practically
an impossibility.
Jones' home was in Montclair, n. j.,
where he has wife and children.

struck by lightning and burned to the
ground with its contents, including %
tons of hay, two horses and colt, and
most of the farming tools.

The moving machine and harrow. a pig
and the poultry which were in outbuild-

Mr.. Bloxom, who is moulder. en-
ployed by the Vermont Snath company
was away from home when the lightning
struck. 1t was impossible to use the
telephone .S communicate with the fire
department, and the farm is so isolated
that help could not have arrived in
time.
The loss is estimated by Mr.. Bloxcm
at 81 200 total, with insurance of 5000.
The heavy rainfall caused bad wash

FIREMEN FOUND NO FIRE.
When Called Out at 2:15 A. M. To-day
By Alarm From Box Al.

Some misguided individual with a
warped sense of humor played a worn
out joke on the fire department this
morning at 2:l5 o'clock by turning in
a general alarm from box Al. at the
corner of South Main and Ayers street.
Regulars at the station made quick
run to the box in the new auto truck,

whence came the alarm, the fremen
failed to find any signs of fire, much
less of the miscreant who rang the
alarm. The all-out signal was sound
ed once and the firemen together with
large quota of call men who had
assembled at the sound of Al, returned
to their quarters.
No clue as to the perpetrator of the
alleged joke was obtained to-day, hut

Student, Died Last Night
BURNED THREE MONTHS a
Many Times Since Their 4 .e was
Despaired Of, But Yas lan's Re
markable constit 8 me to Her 7
Aid and She Ra. Time-Being.

The death Of Miss Ruby Jeanette
Bartlett of Silver City, n. NJ, the God
dard seminary student who was burned
! of pyro which was being used to fill
a lighted chatting dish, occurred at the
City hospital last night. Miss Bart
lett was terribly burned, few parts OF
the body escaping; and many times
during the past three months her con-
dition would become critical, vet she
would rally, and her remarkable con-
stitution stood the strain so well that
considerable hope was entertained for
her recovery
One of the sinking spells came just
before the Fourth of July, and she was
recovering from that time OF lowered vi
| tality when the noise connected with
the celebration made her so much worse
that little hope was held that she would
stand the strain. For two weeks she
remained in very critical condition,
but again her constitution came to her
aid and she passed through the sinking
spell.
Latterly her burns had become near
ly all healed, and her mind had become
clear and remained so until few days
before her death but she had suffered
intensely, and the end came as a gen.
ersl collapse of the entire system.
During all the time when her mird
was clear, Miss Bartlett always showed
an interest in events about her and a
thoughtfulness for others. Hers was
happy disposition, which endeared her
to her schoolmstes and made her
great favorite at Goddard, where, though
confined TO the hospital, she was grad.
uated with her class last June.
Miss Bartlett was the daughter OF
L. H. and Harriet Farnsworth Bartlett
and was born in Fairfield, Vt, Septem-
Der 2s. 1892. While still young, she
went to New Mexico, where she had
since lived Her mother died when Ruby
was about six years old, SO Mrs. Bart
let's sister, Mrs. Jennie Brown, went
to New Mexico and has always had
the care of the girl and her two young
er brothers, Philip and Russell, until
the daughter came to Goddard.
Mr.. Bartlett came to Vermont imme.
diately after his daughter sustained her
injuries, and he remained in Barre un,
til after Mrs. Brown came. Three
weeks ago he, with his son, Philip, came
again, but as the patient was much bet.
ter, he returned to New Mexico Mrss
Brown had remained with the young
woman ever since coming from New
Mexico

Gloversville, N. ", Aug. 27.--The vii,
