Breeding Pearl-Button Shells a New
Task for the Government.

The government of the United
States has gone into the business of
breeding pearl buttons
That, at least, is what the latest
venture of the Bureau of Fisheries
comes to in the long run, although
it is the button material rather than
the buttons themselves that result
from this new field of administra-
tive activity.
Within the last few years the So
called pearl" button really made
of MISUNDERSTANDING displaced
almost completely all other kinds of
buttons for the white garments of
both sexes in America. Ones does
not have to be very old to remem-
Der when the only cheap button in
general use was made of porcelain.
Today the old-fashioned china
button has almost entirely disap.
peared. In its place, even on the
cheapest ready-made garments, is
found the pearl button far stouter
and more durable than the china
button, as we'll as more attractive in
appearance. Formerly too expen-
sive to be used on any but the bet
ter grades of goods, the pearl but

Greater Vermont Association.

Frederick H. Babbitt. president
of the Greater Vermont Association,
has sent the following letter to var
ious parts of the state.
At the annual meeting of the
Greater Vermont Association held
at Brattleboro May 1914 1915,
Hon. Theodore N. Vail, first vice.
president of the Association, said:
If we make a Greater Vermont it
must be through industrial develop
ment, and the magnitude of this
development depends on that kind
of initiative and enterprise which
has made the Vermonter so promi-
nent in the development of other Sec
tions of this country" The Great
err Vermont Association stands for
and is striving for this industrial
development" of our state. We
firmly believe that the "Vermonter"
of this day and generation is not
lacking either in the quality or the
quantity of those important es-
sentials mentioned by Mr.. Vail. In
this spirit, with no other object in
view than the betterment of our
grand old commonwealth and with
confidence in your loyalty and pride
of state" knowing that this associ.
alton is absolutely worthy of your
support and cooperation, we earn
estly ask you to join us in the I'M
selfish and patriotic work which we
are doing, and to become a CO
worker with US for Greater
! Vermont. " If you are already ;
member, we ask you TO renew YOU
membership and pay your quot;
toward the common good" L
you have not been with US and O
us in the past, do it now" United
we stand"
This association is trying to do /
grand work under circumstance

that are often discouraging.
A representative membership
among those who wish the old we'll
would add little to the treasur,
and good deal to the courage o
those who are trying to carry Of
the good work. II

ton is cheaper now than the cheap
china buttons used to be.
The change came about through
the discovery that the shells of the
fresh-Water mussels which abound
in all the rivers and streams tribu-
tary to the Mississippi are the best
of all raw material for button manu-
facture easily worked, cheaply
gathered, and in apparently mex
haustlble quantities. From single
small factory establishment at Mus
catine, Ia, a few years ago, there
has developed an industry that has
made several men millionaires, gives
employment in many different plants
to thousands, and, best of all, sup
plies the people of the whole United
States with good buttons at a low
price.
A short time ago, however, the
alarming discovery was made that
the mussel beds were giving out.
The shelltish were not producing
themselves as rapidly as they were
being made up into buttons. The
Federal government stepped in and
established limitations to the dredg-
ing of mussels in certain streams.
Still the supply continued to dimin-
ish in spite of the known wonderful
fertility of the parent mussels. So a
more careful scientific study was
made by biological experts employ.
ed by the government, and some
curious and interesting facts about
the life history of the mussels were
disclosed.
The diminution in the supply OF
pearl-button material, it was dis.
covered, was due not to the taking
out of mussels but to the distruc.
ton of fish in the rivers.
1t was learned that in it's early
stages of development the fresh
water musseI is a parasite, its exist
ence depending largely upon it,
ability to fasten itself to the gills OF
fins of fish. Certain kinds of the

The toll bridges between this state
and New Hampshire are the subject
of much unfavorable comment by
tourists and residents of other
states. Last weeks issue of the
Youths Companion commented as
follows: Where will Vermont and
New Hampshire transform into free
bridges the half dozen toll bridges
that span the Connecticut River
They are the only surviving toll
bridges in New England, and are
survivals that seem out of place in
these times. Vermont has recently
abolished its last stretch of toll
