THIS ARCTIC CHILL.

SO often OF late have the weather fore
those who have been disappointed over
the revelations of those seers that it is
worth noting now and then that the
weather men get it right, perhaps more
often right than wrong. Their judgment
was surely indicated by the weather OF
Tuesday night, the prediction having
been that the temperature would be low
er than on Monday night, although the
wind would diminish in force. There
fore, in fear and trembling people await
ed the realization of the forecast. And
surely enough, the temperature was low
err; the wind subsidized; it was colder, far
colder. The arctic blast which came
down upon tie whole eastern section of
the North American continent was one
OF the most severe in whole decade and
softened for lis only by the fact that
the blizzard had passed on. Indeed, the
weather of the past two days has been
almost paralyzing for industries through
out the northern section of New Eng
land and in eastern Canada, while out
door work was of necessity absolutely
suspended. Memory is severely taxed to
recall a time when sustained cold CON
tinued throughout period of forty eight
hours as it has done up to the present
time. Tuesday was day of unusual
distress for both man and beast required
to be in exposed places, and physicians
who are forced to take long rides assert
that never have they known such in
tense cold to be maintained through all
the hours of daylight as was the case on
that day. However, there is consolation
in the belief that it is better to have
winter when it is time for it rather
than to have it delayed into the spring
months, for one may reasonably hope
that the natural order will be somewhat
restored

that a guarantee back of the label as to
purity means market for Vermont's
maple products.
Practically the same doctrine was
preached to the dairymen. They were
told that merely the production of milk
which yields cream that in turn yields
butter is by no means the secret of
practical and profitable dairying. The
experts explained that feeding, housing
and breeding problems must be reckoned
with if the dairy farmer is to produce
butter and cheese at figure which
makes the business attractive.
Some of the pick of dairy experts
talked to and with representative Ver-
mont dairymen this week and who will
say that this interchange of ideas, this
comparing of notes, is not bound to pro-
duce results? Why not better butter?
Why not more milk per COW, more butter
fat per pound of milk? Vermont's
dairymen came together in convention
to acquire knowledge and in view of
the array of talent in the various lines
of the industry which appeared it is safe
to say thai every visitor to the conven-
ton goes home this morning firm in the
belief that he has been repaid for his
trip to Rutland.
1t is to be hoped that both sugar
makers and dairymen cling to the
habit, already formed, of holding their
annual meetings in Rutland. Come again
next year.-Rutland Herald.

Profitable Conventions.

land is convincing evidence that the men
behind the two industries represented
are alive to the possibilities of co-opera-
ton which come with membership in
these organizations. Credit is certainly
due to those arranging the programs for
each session of the two conventions. The
general scheme of providing speakers
with expert knowledge as to maple and
dairy products was carried out to the
end that every detail of production in
these lines was covered
1t is this careful attention to arrang-
ing a program not only of interest but
one highly instructive that indicates
the underlying principles of the two as
sociations which have favored Rutland
this year as a meeting place.
The makers of maple sugar, not only
listened to an exposition of improved
methods for converting the sap of the
sugar maple into toothsome delicacies,
but likewise learned what the consumer
thinks about Vermont maple products,
what he is willing to pay for the YER
mont brand of sugar and syrup, why he
considers the Vermont brand as stand
ard. This information is bound to prove
valuable to the men of the state who
produce maple sugar and syrup. The
experts who talked TO the sugarmakers
explained in detail how ten times as
much sugar and syrup can be produced
in Vermont and how every pound and
every gallon can be marketed and vet
leave the demand unsatisfied. The secret
of marketing the product is the label

to the consumers told the sugarmakers

All Vermont hopes to see the affairs
of the American Fidelity company OF
Montpelier built UP so that it will be-
come one of the strongest financial in
stitutions Of the state. There seems to
be field for the operation of COM
pany of this sort, with plenty of bust
ness to be conducted by the departments
OF insurance included in its scope. Inas-
much, too, as considerable good Vermont
money is invested in the company, there
is the greater hope that things will pan
out well. So the best wishes of all 60

HERE AND THERE
ABOUT BARRE

Now and then comment is heard in
Barre over the fact that not many dwell
ing houses are being built here every
year. and BY some the situation is viewed
with depression as indicative of lack of
progress; and yet even the most pes
simistic are forced to admit that the
city's chief industry is booming and
that never has there been a greater
number employed than during the past
season. They cannot understand the sit
uation; they cannot reconcile the slow
building with the very evident fast
growth of business. And perhaps the
perplexity is not such wonder after
all.

However, let those same people get

1t is rather surprising that city of

For those same watchful walters, hav-
ing their eyes oper as they would watch
a Huertan Nero, would notice streams
of teams passing and repassing. And if
they should follow the course of those
teams they would find them depositing
their occupants provided it were morn
ing) at the doors of the granite plants
throughout the city; and if it should
happen to be late in the afternoon, they
would lose sight of the teams as they
passed outside of the limits OF the city
Day after day they would see the same
teams coming and going at the same
hours of the day and carrying the same
men.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-01-14

For some years back stonecutters and
allied workmen have been picking up
| farm properties on the outskirts OF
Barre, and to-day many are forced to
90 even further back and are driving
as many AS half a dozen miles each way
to and from their work. Barre so YOU
see, has been spreading out, and the
process has been so subtle that you
haven't noticed it. II would be hard
to estimate how many of those who
are essentially Barre people are living
outside the city, but some idea of the
number can be gained by watching the
teams as they drive in each morning
and drive out each afternoon. To all in
tents and purposes they are Barre people
because they do their trading with Barre
merchants. retain their membership in
Barre lodges, attend Barre churches-all
but pay their taxes and vote in Barre.
Their exodus from the city limits
naturally causes vacancies in dwelling
houses in Barre and lightens the demand
for more construction; hence, there has
been less building of this class in Barre
during the past six, eight or 10 years
than we were accustomed to when from
half hundred to 4 hundred were erect
ed or projected in a years time.
The building progress inside the city
has been rather light, but surrounding
towns, notably Barre Town, are not los
ing thereby; on the contrary they are
receiving quite a considerable impetus
from 12-month to l2-month.
And it is not to be expected that
city like Barre can hold all its people.
Notice how the suburbs of the great
cities are built up on the overflow from
the cities, and then realize that on a
small scale Barre is undergoing sim
liar process. Yet they are not entirely lost
to Barre, although they may have taken
up their residence outside the city.
Moreover, their vacated houses are filled
and more are coming to make a bigger
demand for houses from time to time.
In fact, Barre is growing so much that
il is building up its neighbors at the
same time.
Wherefore, don't be a pessimist with
out grounds.

There, then you have the reason 1.-THE
big reasonl why more dwelling houses
have not been erected in the city dur
ing the past few years. 1t is a back
to the soil movement in dead earnest
for hundreds of Barre people, but not
81 far back but what they can keep in
close touch with the granite industry.
There are various reasons which have in
duced these hundreds of people to ac-
quire possession of small farm proper
ties, quitting their residence in the city
but at the same time hanging onto their
jobs. They work the farms at their odd
hours, raising enough for their own ia.
bles and perhaps more than enough, so
that they can dispose of some products
in the ready market in town, while at
the same time the adult men folks are
drawing down good wages in the granite
plants.
