SHALL BARRE MAINTAIN EVENING
DRAWING SCHOOL?

Voters of Barre may have overlooked
the fact that city meeting is to be held
this evening to decide whether the even
ing drawing school will be continued for
another year, and. if in the affirmative,
what amount of money shall be appro.
priated for the work. Inasmueh as the
school has been doing good work during
the past year it would seem advisable
to continue it for another year at least.
The school is still an experiment, per-
haps, but experiments of that sort re-
guire further exploitation than has been
given thus far in order to determine their
real worth Hence, the citizens should
see their way clear to give it support
for the coming school year. The city
meeting is scheduled to begin at 1880
o'clock, which is sufficiently early to per

for the purchase OF goatskins. Five hun
dred million goats were required to fur
nlsh these skins. Had they been raised
here their value would have been near
~ 81 O00,000,000. Goats are raised in
large quantities in nearly every Mexican
state. They thrive anywhere and can
be raised with profit on land that will
not sustain cattle. The skins are worth
in Mexico from $l25 to $3.50; the flesh
brings from 81 to $3.50; the fat is worth
from 10 cents to 81 per animal. The
number OF goats produced in our states
Is far less than in other nations, al
though there has been large increase
in the industry in southwestern states.
Hundreds Of millions of dollars now
spent abroad for goatskins could be re-
tanned here and tremendous addition
to our meat supply, with substantial
lowering of the cost of living, could be
achieved by developing this industry on
unutilized lands. For the current fiscal
year alone we spent $24,o00,0o0 abroad
for skins representing 100000 goats.

4 STATE RECEPTION COMMITTEE.

The idea of having state Old Home
Week association, which is carried out
| in New Hampshire, would be good plan
for Vermont to follow. The purpose OF
such an organization would be to encour-
age the observance of the splendid Gus.
tom of calling back the sons and daugh
ters to the old town for the purpose of
renewing their allegiance; also to recon-
mend methods of entertaining those Wis
itors and, in way, to direct the various
plans in the communities. At least. such
objects might we'll be laid upon state
Old Home Week association Here in
Vermont, there is need OF some central
that the custom may lapse into disuse
and that, therefore, Vermont may be de-
prived of one of its strongest ties which
hold its former residents to their native
state. Comparatively few of the 246
cities and towns of Vermont now OBJ
serve the annual event, but those that
do observe it find the weeks celebration
pleasant diversion for the home people
as well as a bond of loyalty and good
will for those who have gone from home
to other states or other sections. A
state association would have for its chief
aim the encouragement of many more
cities and towns to hold observances; and
such purpose could be great help to
Vermont directly and indirectly. The
more people we can get back to Vermont,
if for only short time during the sum
mer months, the better it will be for
Vermont; and, in addition to those home
corners, we may confidently look forward
to attracting many others who are not
Vermonters but who like the flavor of
good old Vermont welcome amid pleas.
ant surroundings. Let us have more Old
Home Week celebrations.

idea OF q municipality operated farm, on
which poultry, swine and the growing OF

means Of utilizing the city's garbage,
and this was suggested by the mayor in
his annual report about year ago,
Figures from the latest published re-
port show that during the year covered
thereby $500 tons Of garbage were col
lected at an average cost of Sl.l379 per
ton, OF which 2,3l7 tons were removed by
farmers and the remaining 1883 tons
were cremated. This was the highest
cost per ton during the past five years,
the cost in 1906 having been 95.93 cents
During the year repairs to the furnace
and new steel smolSe.sta cost about
1878, fireman for operating the crema-
tory was paid S240 and fuel cost $333.34
making the total cost of operating and
repairs for the crematory $a4a.20 The
cost OF operation was therefore 81 10 per
ton actually cremated, and the total cost
OF operation and repairs was Sl.06 per
ton cremated. These high costs are, Of
