they expected the Federal league

These same manufacturing interests
report the domestic demand is only
fair Present orders are for immedi-
ate delivery and the prospect for flu
ture demand from the same or similar
sources is uncertain. The tendency
still prevails towards a conservative
order of things the plans being to
take caro- of present orders and give
attention to future orders as they ar
rive. Some progress has been made
in advancing the interests of American
manufacturers In the eye of foreign
powers and in this way a substantial
foundation is further being strength
ened for further business. on the
whole, considering the attending con-
ditions, the manufacturing interests of
this State are believed to be compar-
ing we'll with those of other states
better.
With the approach of the New Year,
granite manufacturers find orders well
in hand The surplus business on hand
is small and the future in this partc-
ular line has yet to be worked out
Marble manufacturers note monumen-
tai trade, if any is in the smaller side
of the reports. Paper manufacturers
note business is coming in an uneven
manner. If anything, however, the
past week has shown a small improve

prices of building material. the work
of new construction is light. In GER
tain places in the State quite little
building work is being done; the call
for small hardware and paints has been
asonably good. The demand foi
wood novelties is good. Manufactur-
ers of scythes snathes note a good
demand but the demand is less than
normal.
Wholesalers in food stufrs indicate
the volume of trade is as large as us

comprehensive plan for the future
development Of the grounds of the Uni
verslty Of Vermont was favorably con-
sidered by the trustees Tuesday 1t in
cludes scheme for the grouping of new
buildings and identifying the grounds.
The feature of chief interest is the pro-
posed removal of the athletic grounds
from Centennial Field, which has been
used for baseball, football and track
events since 1904, and which is considered
to be too far from the university center.
II is planned to construct a new field on
the present campus, in the midst of the
college buildings, with concrete stands
lighted by electricity. Ornamental posts
would carry takedown canvas fence
surrounding the grounds. Capt. Ira L..
Reeves, L, $ A, retired, commandant of
the cadet battalion. and Prof. George p.
Burns, who is also a member Of the Bur
lington park commission, originated the
plan. Final decision as to its adoption
is expected soon.

Bryce, then Ambassador from Great

1ect of the Green Mountain Club.
| In March 1910, James p. Taylor asso-
ciate principal OF the Vermont Academy.
organized a small number of sturdy fell

known as the Green Mountain Club. The
specific purpose of this club was to pro-
vide a glorified playground for themselves
and to make the Green Mountains aces
sibIe to visitors from all parts of New
England and the East
with this project in view a beginning
was made to the opening up of contn-
uous trail through the mountains from
Massa chusetts to the Canadian line. Such
trails have been established in other
countries, notably In Germany where the
famous forest pathway Der Hohewes
stretches southwark from Pforzhcim IN
Baden to Basel in Switzerland through
the beautiful Black Forest.

towns and villages along the proposed
course of the trail, the Green Mountain

DUTIES OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
From the Rrattleboro Reformer)

The statutes define the duties of the
attorney general very clearly. He is
required by law to represent the State
in the preparation and trial of cases In
which the State is an interested party,
and consult with, advise and assist State q
attorneys, to assist in the preparation OF
legislative business and documents, and
to advise elective and appontive State
officers on questions of law pertaining
to their official duties. The law does
not provide, however, that he shall 1u-
swer questions from town clerks and s"-
lectmen or from private individuals; and
I'm fact If he should make a pra.u,,
Of so doing he would have little or mo-
time for his more important duties II
more people in the State understood this
fact they would save themselves unnec-
cssary inquiry to say nothing OF reducine
the attorney generals correspondence
materially.

WINTER FOODS

The heat producing foods are now so
much reished that we can trust our
normal appetites to guard health and
supply the real elements most needed
at each season,
Griddle cakes, with honey or maple
syrun, are not only now much appre-
ciated. but the use of honey Is a very
great help to ward off or alleviate colds
and bronchial troubles. Food rather
than too much medicine is a good cor
receive Of many ills or a superior pre-
ventive.
When young, mother used to give me
molesses and ginger for colds, until even
now molasses is repulsive to my taste.
Then, when molasses was positively
sickening to my young stomach. the
medicine was changed to ipecac and
honey Ipecac is the most sickening of
all cough medicines but is very effec-
tive.
While tastes differ there seems to be
g., preference for the buckwheat, or
pr,ddle flours which contain much In
dian meal, and, in fact, for almost any
cheap imitation OF real flour. This is
from two causes, First the Indian meal
| IL more heating than flour, and second
tho manufacturers can produce the mix
lures at less cost to themselves, ana
receive as high a price for the product
SO every one is happy, and nature gets
her demands satisfied
Most people are safe In using sriddle-
cakes very literally, and even with sell
raising grddle flours the expense IL
very light for breakfast. So much time
Is saved that the self raising flours for
such uses are perhaps an actual economy

DEFENDING THE Sen

Mrs John Purroy Mitchell, of New
York recalled this story about little Bes-
sic.
Some time ago little Bessie's father
who lived in the suburbs, was speaking
to the next door neighhor about the trou-
BILE he had in keeping the chickens away
from the garden.
"Why don't you educate themY' smile

So by the middle of the summer Of 1915
it is anticipated that the whole stretch
OF trail, one hundred and fif.y-e,ght
miles long, will be open To- travel: and
will afford to thousands Of tourists the
delightful pleasure Of out-of- door rccrea-
tlon.
Incidentally of course the whole state
will be benefited by the influx of tourists
that will seek this modern "happy hunt
ing ground. SO II may be seen that
a project begun merely as convenience
for a small band of atn.otlc younr men
has developed into a reil boom to a whole
State.
