UNCLE SAM HELPS 5000.

Washington, January 16. - Uncle
Sam is hunting jobs for the jobless.
He has placed six thousand unemployed
at jobs on farms in the United States,

labor in the spring.
In his annual report, issued today,
the Commissioner of immigration says:

of the New-Y orker Staats-Zeitung,

questing permission to print free of

were given for compliance Herewith.
Though the publication of these OPP
portunities still continue, the Bureau
has the result of the first three months,
in which SIC were offered and publica-
ton thereof made once a week in said
journal. OF that number 283 were
known to have been filled with aid thus
afforded.
"The favorable outcome Of this eX-
pertinent suggested the extension of
such publicity so as to cover all news
papers published In the great centers
of population, no matter in what Ian
guage printed. The cooperation, in
dictated by the replies of the news
papers, promises great results. A
weekly bulletin should be issued by the
bureau and mailed to each newspaper

VERMONT NEVER WILL BE De
PENDENT.

In addressing the Vermont society of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton at Montpelier Thursday afternoon,
President Thomas of Middebury college
talked on the subject, THE Men Who
Made Vermont.
He brought out the fact that Vermont
was once the northwest and showed that
there were many western characteristics
in early Vermont. He described the kim
ship of Vermont and the West and the
influence of the pioneer settlement of
western character upon the people of the
State. He maintained that Vermont "is
not duly appreciated nor rightly under
stood until she is accorded her place
both as the last born child of New Eng
land, and the first born emigrant to the
west " Concluding he said:
The first stage of the march in the
conquest of the continent was accom-
plished by the men who made Vermont.
Our glory is not alone in Plymouth rock /;
1t is far more on the prairies and be-
meath the Rockies, where the spirit that
awoke first in these Green Mountain val
leys has made America great. Vermont,
first inland State, first proved the power
of expansion in the American people
She was the first State which was never
colony, never in bondage to any man.
Our closest kinship is with the free
American pioneers, not with the old
world colonists. We can never be con-
tent as a minor State of New England a
dependency of Boston. We started for
the West, and if we did not get far we
got far enough to catch the spirit
1T is ignorance of our history and de-
NAL of our genius that advises us to re-
main self conferred, training our children
toward the occupations which our fathers
happened to choose. We are citizens OF
great America, pioneers of a continent,
and we demand an education toward the
life of the nation. We will not make our
children peasants; we were born in the
passion of the mastery of continent
and we will have our children free.
Dear old Vermont!-to the hurrying
traveller along her eastern and western
highways, wilderness of wild noun
tains with a narrow foreground of
meager farms; but to those who know
her defiles and passes network of
fertile valleys, smiling in plenty and
content;

plomacy and war, her children fighters
