FOR THE
SUPREMEC0URT
Rumor as to the Head of the
Interior Depart
ment
HOUSTON PROBABLY
HIS SUCCESSOR
Justice Lamar of the SUI
preme Court May Make
a Vacancy

Washington, Nov. 27.-Franklin K.
Lane, now secretary of the interior, for
the supreme court to replace Justice
Lamar, whose retirement because of ILL
health is rumored as imminent, is the
latest story current here. OF course
there is nothing official in this rumor.
Many who are in close touch with ma
tional politics, however, are inclined to
believe that the elevation of Mr.. Lane
to the supreme bench is more than prob
able.
Although newspaper man IN his
early days, Secretary Lane was admitted
to the California bar in 1889 and prac-
tieed for several years at San Francisco.
His eight years service on the interstate
commerce commission, in judicial posi-
ton, gave him the kind Of training which
is essential for the supreme court.
Rumor also has it that in case of
Mr.. Lanes appointment to the supreme
court, Secretary Houston probably would
be appointed secretary of the interior, the
secretaryship of agriculture going to

HOW TO KEEP BABY's SKIN WELL

The regular use of Resinol Soap is
usually enough to prevent those dis
tressing rashes and chafings to which
most babies are subject. This is SO,
first, because Resinol Soap is absolutely
pure and free from harsh alkali, and
second, because it contains the Resinol
medication, on which SO many physi-
clans rely for skin troubles.

terest to govern. These two gentle
men have served the corporation, not
only as directors, but as officers, for
many years. They have been de-
voted, faithful servants and the bene-
fit of their experience is now still
available in cooperation with the
board. The number on the board OF
directors being limited to seven, made
such retirement necessary.
The president gave a detailed re-
port regarding the affairs of the COM
.pany.
The following facts are CLEANED
from the report:
Volume of business good up to
July 81, and has been on so to so
per cent normal since.
Accounts have all been audited by
C. H. Scoven & Co. of Boston, GER
titled public accountants.
The bonds recently authorized by
the stockholders are being disposed
of, over one-half of the issue hav-
ing already been sold at par and In
terest.
All the outside property of the
company not essential for manufac-
turing purposes is to be sold, in
GLIDING farm and stock, and $500
acre timber tract in Walden and
Stannard. Tenements not contigu-
Gus to the plant have already been
sold.
Adjustments are proposed that will
be of distinct benefit to the company
in the future.
Reports regarding the outside
plants of the company at Moline and
Sherbrooke showed satisfactory con-
ditions at the present time.
The closing paragraph of the pres
ident's report is as follows:
''In closing the management re-
quests the cooperation of all stock
holders, employees and citizens of st.
Johnsbury. All should be equally in
terested. What favorably or unfa-
vorably affects one affects all. An
effort should be made by all to up
hold the management and establish
a sentiment favorable to the strong
est support possible of this enter
prise, the success of which means
prosperity for st. Johnsbury. This
can best be done not by public and
indiscriminate spreading of false and
misleading statements but by coming
directly to it's duly accredited officers
and quietly giving facts, suggestions
and offering criticisms. All of these
will not only be welcomed but kindly
received and given most careful con-
sideration. The officers of this COM
pany will keep open house to all in
terested in the Strengthening, up
building and increasing of this great
business enterprise that is now in its
S5th year."
If all will cooperate as desired ben
eficial results will surely follow.
