NEW YORK, March 12.-Hundreds

today into the small office used as
free labor burerau by the State de-
partment of agriculture to take ad-
vantage of Governor Glynn's new
plan to help the city's unemployed
by finding them work in the country.

many left the labor bureau without
getting an opportunity to sign an
application blank.

this plan will succeed" said G. w.
Harmon, deputy State commissioner
of agriculture "Most of these men
here today are honest men, very
eager to work. The Migrants and the

from the department of agriculture,
and they will be at work few hours

The conference drew up a resolu-
ton calling for the union of the New
ark conference with the New Jersey
conference. Bishop Joseph l.. Berry,
the presiding bishop, declared against
"commercialism in the church, the
term which he applied to the method
now adopted by the church of listen
ing to the preaching of clergymen
and then bidding for their services.
The most important feature of the
conference, and one which is an an
sorbing topic of conversation here IS
the impending changes in the pastor
ates in the church. Confirmation was
made today of the rumor that these
changes would take place. but 1t was
announced that they would not be
made until next week.

Coursen, Princeton 81. of Marietta,
Ga, asking that James Madison and

were elected to the Presidency of the

their busts placed at the entrance to

as follows:
would it not be a fitting thing to
honor Princeton's two most illustrious
sons-James Madison, of the class Of

class of 1S79-by placing bronze
bust of each on either side of the en-

waters of the Judiciary mill pond in
Vermont, and it will undoubtedly take
some of the ripples a considerable time
to reach the shore. He has followed
an inclination manifested by him on

the body polite; and the supreme and

by virtue of recently issued commits

There are at present about 10000
farmers organizations of all kinds in
the United States, and at the meeting
of the American Farmers Federation
to be held in Omaha, Neb., Dec. 1912,
a novel plan will be proposed whereby
a big national market will be
financed. 1t is estimated that the
small amount of two cents per acre for
land in cultivation will provide the
necessary funds to establish an efici-
5ent marketing organization. Local or
CARNATIONS of farmers now cover
practically all sections of the country,
most of which are operated on the co
operative plan and are generally sue
cessful. The proposition of uniting
this great body of farmers in a dis

novel plan undertaken by the fedora

For quarter of a century of con
scientious and studious service on the
state S highest tribunal, Loveland
Munson of Manchester has the com
mendation of all Vermont; and for his
dozen years of equally conscientious
and very keen performance of duty
on two benches, Seneca Haselton also
is entitled to the thanks of the peo-
pie. Frank L. Fish of Vergennes, the
third person to leave the state bench,
was only recently appointed, but he
was giving promise of developing in
judicial stature. The new men appoint
ed by Governor Fletcher to vacancies
on the supreme and superior court
benches are all highly spoken of as
men of character and integrity and
bid fair to attain the standard SO well
maintained in the history of the Yer
mont judiciary.
