One of the great sources of trouble in
the Republican party has been the false
basis of the South in national conventions.
Charles d. Hilles, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, announces that
the call for the convention of 1916 will be
on the new basis which reduces the mum
Der Of delegates by 50 Most of this loss
falls on the South The plan, proposed at
the annual meeting Of the national com
mittee in Washington last December, was
made effective, Mr. Hlles said, through its
ratification by conventions in states which
cast a majority of votes in the present
electoral college, condition to it's adop-
ton stipulated by the committee Every
state convention held since last December
gave its assent to the plan except that in
Texas, which rejected it. The states which
adopted it cast 300 of the total 531 votes
in the electoral college, or "A more than a
majority.

Through the efforts of the Fortnightly
club OF Putney Il marker has been placed
on the site OF a fort erected on the south
east part of the Great Meadow in East
Putney in 17a5. Former residents and
Others interested have generously added to
the fund for the purpose, which the club
raised by giving entertainments under the
direction of Mrs. Henry Coe, whose inter
est in the project has been unfailing
The marker, for which the town laid the
foundation, is rough granite block, bear
ing on its smooth face this inscription /.
The Putney fort stood on this spot built
by the settlers Of the town in 100. This
was the second fort on the Great Mead
ows, the first one built in 1T44 having
been demolished
The fort site is on that part Of the
meadows known as the Col Thomas White
farm, now owned by Tarbox Brothers. and
the placing Of the marker recalls some of
the early town history
1t is recorded that previous to the first
French and Indian war, the Cape Bret
on war, 1744, a settlement of whites was
begun on the Great Meadows, and a fort
was built near the centre, called Fort Hill,
but by whom it was built or occupied is
not known The first attack made on the
fort by the Indians was on July >, 1145.
The fate of one of the settlers, William
| Phipps, is on record. He was captured by
two Indians while hoeing corn, near the
southwest corner of the meadows, known
in recent years as the j. Y. Shaw place.
| He was carried into the woods and left in
the care of one of the Indians, while the
other was absent. Phipps watched his
opportunity, and with characteristic intre-
pidity, with his hoe struck down the In
dian in whose keeping he was Selling the
gun of his fallen enemy, he gave the other,
who was returning. a fatal shot. He then
attempted to seek refuge in the fort, but
before he could reach it he was met by
three Indians, who took his life.
In the October following, the enemy
again appeared at the Great Meadows and
made an attack upon the garrison An
etfectual resistance was made, one Indian

Vermont farms. This all speaks Wei
for Vermont agricultural conditions,

heating himself for some overerowded
profession or entering some business
field where competition is rife. Many
an old Vermont farm will become a
profitable investment with scientific
knowledge of cropping and dairying,
where previously a mere existence has
