his all that there might be successful
elimination of the plans arranged by

sacrifice Vermont, as well as the whole
nation, honors his memory and expresses
a full measure of sympathy to the rela-

ward the grave in the little cemetery

come there will be a lasting memory of
the service which he and his comrades
performed for his country. They gave
up their lives for it. More than that
could not be asked.

The general passenger department OF
the Central Vermont Railway company
has done another good turn for Vermont
while at the same time advancing the
interests of the railroad by sending out
its annual tourist book describing many
places in the state suitable for summer
homes. These books go mainly into the
large cities, in which field they are cal
culated to be the most effective, as it is
most often the people of the large cities
who are looking about for attractive
places in which to spend the summer
months. Moreover, there is growing
desire among the people in the large
cities to get back to the soil for all-the-
year residence. Therefore, the Central
vermont's booklet does double service.
Needless to say, the volume is very at
tractive and it offers bona fide induce
ments for people to come into the Green
Mountain state, either for temporary OF
permanent residence.

CURRENT COMMENT
Failures of Concrete.

The advocates of concrete are con-
stantly telling of the manifold uses to
which the material can be put. To hear
their arguments one would think that 1t
was certain eventually to supplant
stone. wood and metal for most domestic
and industrial purposes. Whenever
concrete finds new use, it is hailed as
an astonishing success before there mas
been any chance to demonstrate whether
it is really fitted for the purpose. Sew
eral wears ago it was announced with
the utmost positiveness that concrete
had solved for all time the vexing prob
lem of railroad ties. Of late little has
been said on the subject and now the
announcement comes that, after several
years of experiment, railroad of the
middle west has abandoned concrete ties.

Burlington retaining its position at the
head OF the procession, followed by Rut-
land. Although there are three other
nominal cities in Vermont Montpelier,
st. Adams and Vergennes-It is lett
for town to take fourth position in
population rank, that town being none
other than Bennington in the southwest
ern corner. The G. B. tells us that BEN
nington will have $3.50 people ON July !,
next, and that st. Johnsbury, the scale
town, will be fifth in Vermont with a
total gathering of S,56l people on the
same aforesaid date. Moreover, II we
should make an addendum to the z. B..s
very welcome figures we should say that
the piping town OF Brattleboro is TO be
reckoned with among the big towns Oh
Vermont. Back in 1910 Brattleboro was
credited with a population OF 7,54l ana
since then IT has been coming along
rapidly. IT would not surprise US u
Brattleboro actually is among the "o'oVV
ere this.
But since the census men have not
seen fit to include Brattleboro we give
the order of the five large places OF
Vermont (using the word large ad-
visedly) as follows;
Burlington, 2l,347.
Rutland, l4,4l7.
Barre, ll,706.
Remington, $500.

TIME TO BOOST.

We feel that the Barre Citizens band
should have all the encouragement that
is reasonable both from the municipal
ity and from the people of the commu-
nifty The organization was formed only
after considerable effort on the part OF
those interested and at time when the
desire for band was greatly felt. That
desire, happily gratified after persist
emit effort, still remains, as we all would
quickly appreciate were we to be de-
prived of the services of the present or
ganzation. Of course, every organiza-
ton Of this sort has its ups and downs,
times when its ranks are more than
filled with musicians of great ability and
times when they may seem to be a lack
of musicians. And it is customary and
also good Judgment in other communi-
ties to help along their bands through
thick and thin; to keep the organiza-
tions active; to build up where there
may be weakness; to encourage the mu-
sicians to their best efforts. Such pol
lev, too, seems to be along the line Of
good Judgment in Barre at the present
time. We feel sure that it Is the de-
sire OF each member and officer OF the
Barre Citizens band to give the best
, service that he is capable OF giving; that
each member has pride enough in the
prestige of his organization to work
hard to bring the quality of music up
to the highest standard possible to be
attained by them. Therefore, the band
ought to be encouraged in every reason
able way.

school graduating classes on inspection
tours about their own state rather than
in far distant cities is meeting with the
approval that it deserves. Somewhat
more complete information about the af-

great benefit and may induce larger
percentage of the young people to stay
in Vermont, where opportunities are de-
veloping unusually fast.

HERE AND THERE
ABOUT BARRE

That experienced bunch of guessers in
the u. S. census bureau at Washington
have guessed that Barre's population on
July l, l9l4,--a month and half hence
will be l1.706 souls. That would
amount approximately to a gain of 1000
in the four years, one month and l5 days
from the time when the last previous
census was taken, or, in exact figures,
972 people.
Moreover, they have guessed that the
population of Barre is growing at the
rate of 23l persons each year. Grant
ing that Barre's growth during the re-
mainder of the present decade would
keep at that rate the total population
in 1920 would be l3,092-a modest lit
tie city yet, but making progress.
And, if anyone should consider that
the rate of growth of Barre, as esti-
mated by the census bureau sharks, is
very meagre, he should be informed
forthwith that Barre's rate of advance
is the largest of any of the cities and
towns in Vermont, the population of
which is sufficient to bring them within
the scope of estimating by the govern
ment figurers. town has to boast of
5000 people before it comes inside OF
the charmed circle of the census experts
outside of regular census taking. And
there are only five such cities and towns
in the little old state of Vermont that
are able to put on airs and class them
selves with Uncle Samuels elect.
Il
Therefore, as we started to say, no
other city or town "has the edge" on
Barre, to use the sporting phrase. As
against Barre's yearly growth OF 23l
souls and 482 soles, there is Rutlands
growth Of POT people, Burlington's 1855,
st. Johnsbury's 10 and Bennington's 81.
So you see that Barre has nothing to be
ashamed OF in respect Of the size OF its
population, allowing, of course, that the
census estimators are right.
However, if we were to venture guess
we should say that Barre's population
by the time we get around to celebrate
blowup day next July actually will be
somewhat in excess of the ll,706 cred
tied to us by the esteemed gentlemen in
Washington, say nearer 10000 than the
| figures above named. If the influx of
people during the past few months
means anything, it means that Barre is
larger by several hundred people than
the city was during the winter months
Rarely have we known of so many
people coming into Barre during the
spring of the year as during the pres
ent season. OF course, many of the PEG.
pie from foreign lands who are stonecut'
| ters just naturally gravitate toward
Barre on first arriving in this country
and then branch out into the smaller
granite towns as jobs are offered them;
but most of them settle in Barre, where
work is the easiest to find.
But however that may be. Barre has
made slight gain on both Rutland and
Burlington, according to the estimates
of the census bureau, being still an easy
third in population in Vermont, with
