About Evangelist Smith.

Evangelist Lewis E. Smith, who is
to conduct the Union Gospel campaign
IN May planned by the Congregational
and Methodist churches of Barton. is
we'll known by reputation in this part
of Vermont. The character and sue
cess of his work has so appealed to the
pastors Of different towns that Barton

has been called in this state within
the last year and a half. Baptist,
Congregational and Methodist pastors
have sought his help to the profit Of
the church and the uplift of the com

FARM LABOR THE PROBLEM
Policy of Commissioner of Agriculture to
Find Means to Relieve the Situation
with Him,

It is a matter of common knowledge
that the farmers of Vermont in COM
mon with those of other states are Sc
riously handicapped by a shortage of
reliable farm labor. Although statis-
tics show that the wages paid farm, la
Dor in the United States are now So
per cent higher than they were during
the eighties and about IS per cent
higher than they were in 1894, the
supply of farm help is yet far short Of
the demand. The result is that crops
are nowEactaally lost because help is
scarce and many of our farmers, es-
pecially those who own their farms,
prefer to do a small business, utilizing
their own labor and that of their fami-
lies, rather than to extend their busi-
ness and depend upon unreliable help,
which would mean practically that the
burden of the work would fall upon the
owner in seasons of rush. Real estate
agents report number of farms for
sale in this state, the principal reason
given for the disposal of which is that
the owners cannot secure reliable labor
with which to work them.
Other states have given attention to
a solution of this problem. Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut maintain en-
plOymonC- bureaus. Inc secretary OF
the state board of agriculture of K
sas carries on a campaign Of advertis-
ing in large cities during harvest sea-
sons and thereby obtains number of
hands for the securing of the crops of
Kansas farms The department of ag-
riculture of the state of New York
maintains employment bureaus in New
Y York city and Albany. By means of
these bureaus yearly average of
nearly 5000 men has been secured for
the farmers of New York state through
the past eight years. Commissioner of
Agriculture E. E. Brigham thinks the
time has now come when the depart
ment of agriculture of the state of
Vermont may we'll give attention to
this problem. Although the funds at
the disposal of this department which
may be devoted to this purpose are not
sufficient to give an extended service,
yet the commissioner has decided to
open farm labor employment bureau
in connection with his office. The plar
is to allow the farmers who are in neec
of farm labor to apply to the bureau
stating fully the wants, kind of farm
ing they are engaged in, the wages
they are willing to paw, etc. The

With Reno, the magician. the lee
ture course conducted by the high
school closed. The object for which
the school has been working in this
course is to add to the fund being
raised for piano for the high school
room, and how well they have sue.
ceeded may be judged from the state
ment below. That the course has
been one of the best if not the best
ever seen in Barton is the universal
opinion. Reno's magic entertainment
Friday night was good, and largely
attended. but possibly not so far above
par as had been expected from all
reports. He performed all his feats
without the aid of trained assistant,
but introduced no new and startling
tricks. Most of the numbers were
not new but were done with unusual
deftness.s Following is a statement of
the receipts and expenditures of the
course.
