The change is made in the interest of
greater economy and efficiency, the
Sunday school organization being en-
gagged only to do the work of colport-
age and Bible distribution.
The interests of the two organiZa-
tions are practically the same. il being
the avowed object of the Bible society
to distribute the Scriptures as general
~ as possible with all the means at
Command while the Sunday school as

institutes, rallies and conventions; TO

Bible worker, giving up Ter pastoral
charge at Greens Corners to begin the
new duties. She will work for some
time under the personal direction OF

Winston Churchill residence in Corn

OF President Wilson and his family:
Tor Cornish is just over the line be-

social influence emanating from the
presidential headquarters so close at
hand. New Hampshire viii be pleased
at the coming OF the distinguished
family, and Vermont viii share the

that the President has a Panama trip

that he will spend much time at

Now is a GOOD time to begin discus
sion of the new charter which the
village will he called upon to reject
or adopt at it's annual meeting early
in May. Although little is heard on
the street in regard to the reception
the document is getting from the
voters. so far rs can be learned
most Of It's provisions meet with gen
eral satisfaction. In fact. the only
section to which there is any outspol,-
en- opposition is that relative to the
election OF commissioners on the rOta-
ton plan for 4 term OF three wears
each. and this is no doubt due to the
dissatisfaction IN various quarters
over the way this plan has worked
ont IN town affairs. However, in this
connection it should be borne in mind
that no charter can be made so per
feet that it will ensure the election or
satisfactory officials. The responsible
y for that Will always rest on the
voters themselves, and they alone are
to blame for any other outcome. On
general principles The Meddler tavors
the plan OF electing town and village
officials on the rotation plan, although
he is free TO admit that in the ease
of an unwise choice the result Is
likely to be extremely annoying On
the other hand, il is silly to favor the
one-year term solely on the ground
that in case an incompetent official
