THE FLAG

Let 1t idly droop or sway
To the winds light will;
Furl its stars, or float In day:
Flutter. or be still!
1t has held its colors bright,
Through the war-smoke dun
spotless emblem Of the Right,
Whence success was won.
Let 1t droop in graceful rest
For passing hour
Glory's banner, last and best;
Freedoms freshest flower!
Each red stripe has blazoned forth
Gospels writ in blood;
Every star has sung the birth
OF some deathless good.
L.st II droop, but not too longl
On the eager wind
Bid 1t wave to shame She wrong:
To inspire mankind
With larger human love-;
With a truth as true
As the heaven that broods above
It's deep field Of blue.
In the gathering hosts of hope.
In the march Of man,
Open for 1t place and scope.
Bid 1t lead the van;
TIL beneath the searching skies
Martyr blood be found,
Purer than our sacrifice.
Crying from the ground.
TIL flag with some new light
Out of Freedoms sky.
Kindles. through the CULTS Of night
Eolier blazonry.
Lot its glow the darkness drown!
Give our banner sway,
Till its joyful stars go down.
In uNdreamed-of day!

New Wireless for Aeroplanea.

John Hays Hammond, Jr., has per-
fected at Gloucester, Mass, a wireless
telegraph apparatus for aeroplanes
which he intends to sell to the gov.
ernment. His instrument embodies
several new features which have not
yet been made public, among them a
new coherer 20 times as sensitive as
those now in use. This will enable
aviators to receive messages as well
as send them. To the present time
the wireless instrument used on aero
planes have been only to transmit
and the inability to receive messages
has kept the operators tied to theil
base of instructions.

MORE EARTH SHOCKS.
Burlington and Rutland Reported to
Have Been Visited.

Burlington, Feb l3.--Another earth
quake shock was experienced in this
part of Vermont yesterday morning. In
Burlington the announcement of the seis-
mic disturbance was dull muff1ed crash
between 3 and o'clock. This was heard
by great number of people the entire
length of the city from north to south.
There We're, however, no further indi-
cations of earthquake and no marks
were visible on the coming of daylight.
At Mallets Bay there was livelier
disturbance. c. H. Spaulding reports
experiencing three slight earthquake
shocks during Wednesday night and yes
terday morning.
Mrs. Spaulding said that the family
were awakened about 1890 Wednesday
night and again at l:l0 by the house
trembling and swaying. She says that
between 10 and / yesterday morning
another quake, though slighter, was felt.
The one at 40 was strongest, and was
noticed by every one of the five men,
bers of the family. Mrs. Spaulding says
there was a distinct jar and report
as though some heavy object had fallen.
Candlestieks and general bric-a- brac
shook and ratified and doors swung.
The occupants of the Eugene Smalley
house, farther along the road, also re-
port noticing the vibration during the
night. Rutland was visited at 3:45. The
shock there was comparatively violent.
These shocks are to be referred to the
same disturbance, it would appear, and
in general course and character of the
quakes, they would seem to be dupli-
cate of Tuesdays disturbance.

BARREs NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY
In Not Eentering Building Granite
Operation.

According to reports compiled by the
Granite Manufacturers association,
Barre had the greatest year in its his
tory during 1913. A total of 26l7 96
tons of stone was shipped over the quar-
ny road to local cutting plants, a gain OF
IL per cent. over the previous year. The
| full extent of the growth will be re-
allied when it is known that in 1903 the
tonnage was only l44,63l; in other
wards the production almost doubled in
the short space of ten years. These fig
ures were obtained from the officers of
the Barre railroad and the tonnage does
not include the rough stock brought to
Barre by teams. In recent years the
proportion of stock transported by teams
to the cutting plants has been greatly
reduced, but it is still factor to be
reckoned with, as there are number OF
deposits yet to be reached by spur ex-
tension of the Barre railroad. There
were practically no suspensions on ac-
count of inclement weather. The out
put of paving blocks trebled during the
year. This is comparatively new in
dustry at this center, and it is particu-
larly welcome as it uses much stone
that would otherwise go TO waste. The
Barre district, however, will never
realize its full opportunity until it
makes more determined effort to enter
the building field. The granite is adj
mirably suited for structural uses and
the supply is so enormous that the
monumental trade would not suffer If
much of the quarry product were divert
ed for building purposes. Perhaps it is
natural that the quarrymen should cling
to the monumental trade, for stone so
used commands at least twice as high a
price as that which goes into buildings.
But it is mistaken policy unless the
deposit is so limited as to be in danger
of rapid exhaustion. A single building
job may mean the sale of $4,000 or l0o,-
900 cubic feet of stone, and it is GER
tainly easier and cheaper to handle one
big job rather than multitude of small
ones. If a great business is to be done
in the monumental line, it means that
an immense amount of territory must
be covered Barre granite has become
standard and IL is shipped for memo
rails in the most distant parts of the
country. But new deposits of stone,
some of them of the very highest grade,
are constantly being developed. These
are steadily finding their way into fav-
or, and may some time have the local
field practically to themselves. This
may mean that Barre will eventually
find her monumental market so circum-
scribed that she will be compelled to en-
ter the building field. In the meantime
it is satisfaction to record the fact
that oil indica tinna scam IN mint fo an
even better business for Barre during
the coming year than in the one just
ended.-From "Stone."

The Vermont Survey.

The Journal of Education published
in Boston, and edited by A. L. Winship,
who is considered one of the foremost
educators in the country, comments edi-
torially on the Carnegie Foundation re-
port as follows:
"The Vermont survey so far as it has
been completed, has been reported We
hesitate to speak thereon at present. 1t
is such an astonishing document, shows
such apparent superfciality in the sur
vey itself and such Grass ignorance on
somebody's part that we cannot think it
possible that it is as weak and vicious
as it appears. We withhold our criticism
until we can think beneath its surface
and see some redeeming features there
in"
As the report sinks deeper into the
minds of people Mr.. Winship will have
many supporters of his opinion. NORTH
