Warren Howard. who was killed in
an accident last week at Atwood.
Colorado. was read by Rev. c. T.
Ilsley at the. funeral service at the
First Baptist church at 3 o'clock on
Sunday afternoon:
Once more, this church, like q
chastened child, bows in submission
to the will of an all-wise Father, as
for the thirteenth time in as many
months we give back to him, who
takes away, another OF or adult mem
bers.
We would not say them nay. who.
having weathered the blast of many
long years, go rejoicing home, but
when the young and strong. those
upon whom our hopes for the future
are built, must go too. and all earth's
plans seem shattered. sometimes we
question why Nay we cease. our
questioning and listen while He speaks
as to one OF old when denied his
hearts desire. Fear not. l am Thy
shield and thy exceeding great re-
ward"

CURRENT COMMENT
vermont's Best Product.

The Barre Times does not state it half
strong enough in it's editorial on THE
Average Vermont Girl"
1t is very natural that state and local
pride should be expected to color our
vision, but it is absolutely true that
Vermont's best product, barring none, is
her sensible, energetic, capable and eff
cient girls.
They are the inspiration OF the pres
emit, the hope OF the future and the glory
Of Vermont
Given God fearing mothers; reared be-
neathing the everlasting mountains; be-
side the clear, sparkling waters of YER
mont taught from childhood up to
realities Of practical, seussessful life it is
no wonder that New Yorker, who ac-
cidentally comes in touch with the real,
average Vermont girl, thinks that he
has made a remarkable discovery.
Like Nermont's marvellous scenic at
fractions, etc, that we see every day,
and do not notice for that very rea-
son, yermonts best product. her boys
and girls, especially the latter cannot
be equalled anywhere in the world.
To know them. Mr. New Yorker, is
to appreciate their true worth to Yer
mont and the world and 10 love them,
because they are worthy OF it.-Morris-

Graham Taylor. The Reviews elaborate
outline of the many subdivisions into
which It's special problem naturally re-
solves itself Is an impressive showing OF
the great amount of desirable work That
hasn't been done, and incidentally OF
some good beginnings,
New York, in 1902 was the first state
TO undertake definite policy in dealing
with the immigrants; so recently has the
Importance of the matter made an cifee'
tive impression. The state now has a
permanent bureau of industries ana mn
migration, with comprehensive duties
California has taken 4 similar step. Spe-
cial commissions in Massachusetts and
New Jersey have recommended following
suit; without result as yet. A commits
sion IA at work on the question in Rhode
Island, and Oregon and Washington are
getting ready for the expected arrival OIL
European immigrants by way OF the
Panama canal after the war. Cleveland
has made notable departure in the es-
tablishment of city immigration bu'
reau along broad lines, and the Ellis
island federal service, under Commls-
sioner Howe-one of Miss kellers edi-
torial advsers-is planning the impor-
tant work Of organizing similar city
bureaus TO coordinate the agencies, OF
distribution, protection, education and
naturalization in each important imml-
grafton center Regulation OF labor
camps, chiefly of foreigners, has been
undertaken by New York and California,
while Wisconsin commission has made
a beginning by investigating and report
ing on conditions in that state. New
York has taken hold of the private bank
problem, and Illinois and Michigan have
had recent experiences which are likely
to result in similar action.
The federal bureaus of education and
immigration are cooperating in the de-
velopment of plan to enforce compul-
sorry education laws, and the department
of labor has enlarged the information
division of the immigration bureau from
a single office in New York City to is
zones and additional branch offices
throughout the country secretary WI
son has interpreted the law creating the
information division as applying by in.
ference to natiye-born workers, as well
as aliens, and this seems entirely rea-
sonable. In very essential phase, the
Immigration problem is the labor prob
lem, and in dealing properly with the
special work Of the immigrant the inter-
ests of labor as whole would at the
same time be furthered. Such a national
policy as is suggested by the small but
important beginnings already made
should be developed with care and thor
oughness.- Springfield Republican.

A Yermonter in Florida.

We have experienced the coolest and
most rainy season in Florida in twelve
years, the length of time we have been
wntering in the state. Not the coolest
weather we have seen, but a continue
ton OF chilly weather with winds from
the north. The whole interior of the
country is flooded In sections that can
not be drained, gardens are at a premi-
tm. Strawberries ripen slowly and no
cucumbers have been seen. Plenty Of
celery and lettuce where il can be grown
above water. For those OF us who work
in Florida. the season has been ideal,
and the rains, falling quickly, OF Of
few hours duration at a time, have not
bothered But for those who come here
10 enjoy the climate-the sunshine and
hoat-this season has been a dead fail

on account Of cold and winds. Real es-
tate. Is booming and the good roads

states. Indeed. they are needed here.

cational world is quite clear as to just
what can be done in vocational lines
instead of gradually working into it as
our communities come to see its need
and how to handle it. 1t means great

people more dissatisfied with the schools

The Germans taunt Sir Edward Grey,
British foreign secretary, with never
having set foot outside Of the British
Isles. Such a taunt has little or no re-
lation to the present war, but, if true, it
reflects the England state OF mind TO a
fair degree of accuracy, excluding, Of
course, those Englishmen who have had
he hardihood to emigrate from their ma
tive land. II is a common charge against
the Englishman in England that he is
too self-centered.
