Did YOU ever eat French Fried

If not, you've never eaten French
Fried Potatoes at their best.
cottolene makes them rich and

If you have been frying and

try Cottolene. It is every bit as
good, at less than one-third the

IF YOU are using lard for short

BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY
REPORT

Reports to Bradstreets for the week
express some feeling Of uncertainty as to
outcome for the near future. Questions
asked as TO the existing condition of Ia
Dor show that 1t Is reasonably we'll en-
ployed but as to what is in the future
there does not appear to be any definite
statement. A conservative tone prevails
as far as the manufacturer is concerned.
A little less is being done at the WOODEN
mills. Granite manufacturers report
present conditions reflect labor to he
we'll employed but further than that
opinions differ as to what the volume OF
business will be for the next few months.
Manufacturer of lumber report a good
demand, In fact there is a short supply,
and at some mills logs are being brought
in by team, those that they we're unable
to bring in earlier IN the season. The
ma nufacturer Of furniture and chairs
both for the domestic and export trade
note there Is considerable business ahead.
Paper mills are well employed at pIea-
ent but new business is coming in slow
~. Garment manufacturers speal, well
Of present conditions.
General wholesale trade in STAPLE con-
ditions is normal but collections are off.
The cool weather of the month has affect
retail trade In clothing and dry goods al
though the trade al the larger centcrs
reasonably well with that for
the same period last year. Purchases for
the future are being made in a cOnscrva-
tive manner. In the country towns trade
is inclined to be quiet as the farmer Is
busy with his planting operations. Crops
are late. Grass in the northern half Of
the State looks better than 1t does In
the southern portion and the outlook for
a yield Of hay Ia correspondingly re-
ported upon. In the southern part of the
State very few If any native strawberries
have come into the market. The early
yield was damaged by frosts but It Is
expected the late berry will show its
usual yield. Frosts have also done dam
age to other small fruits as well as dam
age to apple trees, All kinds of dairy
products have met with a ready sale at
good prices. No mercantile failures We're
reported for the week.

SCHOOL WORK DISCUSSED.
second Day of Educational Conference
at Queen city Park.

Unusual activity marked the opening
or the second day OF the annual CON
ference of the Association of Vermont
Union superintendent at Queen CITY
Park. Owing to the warm weather the
morning session of the conference was
held on the lawn in front of the PAVILION.
a large number are attending tho co,-
ference and subjects of Importance in
the work of the schools were discussed
at yesterdays sessions. At the morning
session the speaker was again Prof. NJ.
Is. Hillegas, Of Columbia University, who
ls connected with the Carnegie Founda
tlon and who is making an Investigation
Oh the elementary schools Of Vermont for
the educational commission appointed by
Governor Allen NJ. Fletcher.
Professor Hillegas spoke on "The
fundamentals of School Supervision" and
a general discussion followed. parti-
clpated in by the superintendent, of
whom there are nearly 100 in attendance.
shortly before adjournment for luncheon,
there was a conference on special and
teacher training work i'm which Professor
Hillegas and State superintendent of
Education Mason s. Stone met a number
of women teachers.
At the afternoon session Professor
Hillegas took for his subject "Funda-
mentals in Child Training and a gen
eral discussion followed. The evening
session was devoted to an Interesting
address by Mss Davis, of the bureau Of
good roads. Washington, y. c., who told
OF the relation between good roads and
rural schools.
During the discussions lead by Prof.
Hillegas a number of vital points relat-
ing to the elementary schools have been
brought out. The elementary school is
regarded as covering the first six years
of school life and the work Of this school
should he to supplement the work which
the child does outside of school and the
education he receives from sources with
out the school.
The farm, said Professor Hillegas, dur
ing discussion, has a great educational
value but in these days of changed con-
ditions. the work done and the oduca-
tion gained by the boy or girl ON the
farm is much moro limited than in years
past, as the old time arts n crafts
have disappeared from the home. Many
of these we're of great educational value
and the schools must necessarily teach
them to the boys and girls II they are
even to acquire them. Hence. the schools
must constantly change with the times.
In connection with these changed condi-
lions the teachers are coming to play
an important part. They must possess
honesty and morality and the age Is
coming more and more to insist on fit
ness.
