CARDS the test of efficiency, speaking
struction given here.
AS regards service to the State Dean
Tnleham shows that Of the $50 graduates
of the College OF Medicine during the
past twenty years forty per cent. were
Vermont boys. and g7S located in this
State. He found that Vermont does not
differ from institutions like the Univer-
sity of Michigan and the University Of
Pennsylvania in the number of native
students, and he believed students from
other States helped increase the institu-
tons efficiency.
There are 81 practicing physicians in
vermont and OF this number 1863 gradu-
ated from the Vermont College of Medl-
cine. and the number Of graduates who
have passed the Massachusetts, board
would indicate that our graduates are
we'll qualified for efficient service.
One of the most striking demonstra-
tOn5 ny Dean Ilnkham is that the UNI
versity Of Vermont College Of Medicine
is serving the State by giving over $500 600
annually IF free medical and surgical
service for the poor people of Vermont
If the Vermont Medical College were
to be discontinued those of our young
men who desired IT, become physicians
would be forc~' &c spend much larger
sumo in attending institutions In Ne"
WORK Boston or other large cities, and
they would be far less likely than at
present to settle in Vermont towns feel
ing the need OF :he more lucrative prac-
tee OF denser population,
On the other hand. with the new ctn.-
ca! facilities now added to those former
is afforded Il will be possible for the
University Of Vermont College OF Med-
cine 20 send FORTH men still better pre-
pared than were those who gained the
high standing for Vermont noted before
the STATE boards throughout tho Unit a

VERMONT NOTES.
W. s. Lowell Resigns As SuperiDten-
dent of the State Prison.

Superintendent w. s. Lowell Of the Yer
mont State prison has resigned says the
journal of Windsor, to take effect April
H. Among those said to be candidates to
succeed him is Daniel Payson of windsor.
Mr. Lowell has made many Improvements
at the prison in the nine years he has
been there, and has hefriended those con-
nected with institution by his humane
treatment OF the inmates. 1t Is said, how
ever, that ne has been too lenient to suit
those in charge. It has also been said
that Warden Lowell wished to dispense
with the services of the chaplain. the Rev.
A. W. Ford, but that Governor Fletcher
took R different view. It is also announced
that the matron, Miss Sarah ]. Durkee,
who has been connected with the prison
FOR 20 years. will resign soon and that is
possible two other minor officials will ten
der their designations when Mr. Lowell
turns over the keys to his successor.

BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Reports to Bradstreet's state that eN-
tremely cold weather prevailing caused
shutdown among both the granite
manufacturing plants and the slate quar-
ries. Some of the granite plants were
idle only two days while others were
idle the greater part Of last week and at
the slate quarries business has been tenn
porarly suspended This weather affect
ed general retail trade to more or less
large extent. Logging operations are still
being carried on in vigorous manner
and large stocks of logs have accumu-
lated at the mills The demand for va
rous supplies at the logging camps has
been large.
Some Improvement Is reported in gen.
eral lines of manufacturers. Among the
machine shops some of the manufacturer
note a little livelier tone while others
state there is no change and that the new
business is coming in slowly. Among
the organ manufacturing interests in the
State the demand is largely in excess Of
the period and plants are operating on
longer time than is usual for this period
Of the year. Furniture manufacturers
note only a fair volume of trade but con-
"''o"N SHli'ululllS lnlS CLASS 81 tIdut
are about as usual for the period \ lit
tie more activity is noticed among the
manufacturers of chairs for export trade.
The demand for dairy machinery IS such
that this plant is rushed with orders
Paper mills report new business is COM
ing in fairly well
Reports on the building trade from 81
cities in the United states show a de-
crease OF i3 per cent. in volume for
January of this year as compared with
that shown for the last month of last
year and 3l2 per cent. less than was
recorded for the month of January 1918.
Nearly complete returns upon the total
production of granite in this state for
the year 1913 places the value of output
In the rough at approximately sl20o,O0,
OF which sum about - per cent was
building stone; of this amount 14 900 tons
was shipped from Hardwick VT The
demand for building stone at that point
Is reported as exceptionally good for the
year and the present volume of business
on hand is sufficient, it is claimed, to
keep plants fully employed for the COM
ing year. The above sum. II is esti-
mated is an increase of a little better
than live per cent. over that done in 1912,

JUSTIFIED MAILING

a smile came from CONGRESSMAN Robert
Crosser of Ohio, the other night when
one of the party referred to the way he
used to tear clothes to pieces in happy
hOyhood days. Mr.. Crosser said he was
reminded of the case of little Jimmy
one afternoon a kindly disposed gem

when he heard bunch of walls that

What in the world Is the matter, little
boy?' he asked Who do you suppose is
doing all that awful screaming
ITS me little brother Jimmy" an
swered the boy in a matter -of-fact way.

No NEW STATE HOUSE BUILDING
Welded.

r. the Editor of the Free Press:
" one who is serving his fourth term
as member OF the Legislature, l and
hence has had full opportunity TO judge
cr the matter l oppose, for one, the cree
ton of a new State House building, upon
which questions we are to vote at the
coming March town meeting.
We do not need it, unless we desire TO
make room for lot more Of commissions,
of which we have a full supply already.
A comparatively inexpensive addition to
the present building for library and stor
aCe purposes, will we'll answer all require
ments.
II will cost a full half million before
fully completed, as all such things always
take about double what Is first called for.
Montpelier influences are at the bottom
o. the n easure, since it would add to the
fractions OF the city and cause a lot Of
money to be spent there They would
favor 1t II 1t were to cost full million.
When I oppose the erection OF new
building, I am very sure that l voice the
sentiments of large majority of the mem
hers OF the present House OF Representa-
tives.

might have its bearing on the situation.
It "a no secret that the Roosevelt
strength was much stronger on Tho east
