City Noted for Excellence of it's Ho-
tells and its Hospitality to Visitors.

A city noted for it's ample hotel ac-
commodations is Chattanooga, Tenn,
which will be thronged with visitors
February 4, and s, and already the
hotels there are beginning to look for
ward to the occasion, anticipating the
accommodation of many guests. AL
though the attendance upon the con-
vention, 1t is expected will reach 5000,
including laymen and pastors, all will
be well taken care of in a comfortable
manner.
Hotel facilities form city's chief
asset as far as the travelling public is
concerned. The rapid growth in size
and popularity of Chattanooga had
given rise to an ever-increasing de-
mand for ample hotel accommodations
and this demand has always been sup
piled. Never has it been said of
Chattanooga that it could not care for
all who were guests within it's hospi-
table borders. The $4,000 tourists who
visit the city annually all receive the
best of attention.
The largest hotel in the city is the
Hotel Patten, twelve-story $1,000,000
structure. with over $50 rooms. To-

LEAVING 1T TO THE FEW.

Ten voters transacted business at the
Brattleboro town school districts special
meeting last Monday evening, voted to
sell school house, levied tax of 40
cents on the dollar, elected directors for
the ensuing year and did other matters
of business. That reminds us of some
of the special city meetings held in Barre
when a very small percentage of the
voters turn out in response to the warn
ing OF course, il is all right when the
ten voters are high-minded, level headed
persons; but there is chance for mischief
If the ten are not of that stamp. To
forfend the latter possibility il would
seem 10 behoove the citizens of Brattle-
boro and Barre to turn out in greater
numbers for special meetings where inn
portant matters of public policy are to
be considered and where, perhaps, con-
siderable supis are TO be asked for va
rious expenditures throughout the com
munity. Therefore. more than a score
Of voters ought to turn out for the ad.
vertisei city meeting in Barre next Tues
day evening.

Farm Help Wanted.

| With the pressure of spring work or
the farms there has come again from
many sections the complaint of the diff
Guilty of securing help on the farms
not simply good help or cheap help
but any kind of help at any price. 1t
is familiar complaint, and it is occa
sionally thought a suitable theme for
the humorist, especially when the appea
for harvest hands comes from the wheat
fields of the West But il is no joke
for the farmer; and, since all of us
depend on the farmer for our food, it
is no joke for the rest of us when we
stop to analyze the situation. The diff.
Guilty in obtaining farm lAbor is I'm
ioubtedly one of the most important
factors in the steadily increasing cost
of food supplies. Ii is true that the
American agricultural output is enor-
nous, but it is failing to keep pace
with the increasing population. The
proportion of city jewellers, the people
who must be fed, is growing much fast
er than the country population, the class
that provides the food.
The reasons for the scarcity of farm
laborers are easy to find, but the rem
edy is a different matter The lure of
the city draws the country boy as the
magnet draws the iron, and the city boy
rarely seeks the country. The old-time
hired man is less and less met in the
rural sections. One great difficulty lies
in the irregularity of farm work-a
busy season when the farmer must have
help, followed by a dull season when
he has little or nothing for extra help
TO do. So the laborers seek the steady
jobs of the city, and stay there-even
after they lose their jobs. The other
day a man went into place in Chicago
where IS husky men were eating food
that charity gave them and said he
wanted hundred men at once for farm
Ia Dor at $3.50 day. Not a man moved.
City idleness and the crust of charity
were better than honest farm work.

CURRENT COMMENT
Japan at the Panama-Pacific Exposition

The action of the japanese parliament
in appropriatng 100000 to be used
in representing Japan at the Panama
Pacific exposition is gratifying evil
dence of the clear sighted and underly-
ing friendliness Of the Japanese govern
ment.
1t is by exactly such general evil
dences OF broad craftsmanship and IN
telligent interest in the affairs OF the
world at large that public opinion is
influenced favorabiy to the nation dis
playing these traits. The absence OF
japanese representation at the imposing
celebration which is now preparing in
California would be regrettable evidence
of had feeling in Japan which every
good American must deplore.
1t is safe guess that all countries
will perceive the tact and wisdom dis
played by the Japanese government in
this detail. And good executive is
never careless OF any detail. York

No Need for Alarm.

Because Barre has forwarded two ship
loads of granite by water from port il
Connecticut should not alarm Quincy
manufacturers. Both of these cargoes
were paving stone which could be easily
loaded on ship. Quincy could make
similar shipment from Fall River, OF
New Bedford or other Massachusetts
ports, on the same line of railroad as
this city. But nevertheless Quincy gran
lite manufacturers should be able to
make water shipments from Quincy To
do this, they need wharf with loading
facilities, and also street railway con
neetions from quarries and sheds to the
water front If the city is not ready to
establish municipal dock, the granite
manufacturers should form a corpora
ton and buy, lease or build wharf,
and then petition the Bay State street
railway to extend its trolley freight not
only to the wharf, but into each of the
granite yards and quarries.
Now that the granite industry is
threatened by the reduction of the tariff
on foreign granite, it is important that
shipping facilities should be improved
that Quincy may continue in the granite
busines.-Quincy (Mass.) Ledger.
