Some are wondering why farmers
are exempt from the provisions of a
Workingman' Compensation Act which
is soon to be put among Vermont S
statutes. For the very particular rea-
son that no such bill could ever be
forced through the Legislature if the
farmers were made liable. This bill
originates with the labor unions in man
ufacturing centers, and its trainers
knew very well that farmers must be
exempted if it was to be made a law by
farmer legislature. Bellows Falls

MARBLES OF VERMONT.

The calcite marble and dolomite of
port by T. Nelson Dale, of the United
States Geological Survey, just printed
and now being distributed.Ay the Survey
as Bulletin $50. The western part of
the State includes the most extensive
marble industry in the United States,
but, strange as it may seem ir so old a
State as Vermont, the eastern part, as
stated in the bulletin, is "a virgin field
where, in the lack of a general study of
the stratigraphy, the structure, the
paleontology, and the areal geology, tits
at present not only impossible to deter
mine the area and position of many beds,
but also even the thickness of some of the
marble formations which are but partly
exposed" Mr.. Dale has personally eX-
amined most of the MARBLES OF the
area, which he discusses as to their
texture, color, composition, uses, etc
The marbles ofeastern Vermont, many
of which are dolomitic, vary widely in
kind and character, and the outcrops,
though few in number, are scattered
from the Massachusetts line to the
Canadian boundary. Many of the mar
bles are suited only for indoor orna-
mental use. About dozen outcrops
occurring in as many areas are regarded
by Mr.. Dale as more important than the
others, but the greater part of the
lodges are to be classed as mineral re-
serves which will be drawn on in the
future.

There is great deal of false modestv
displayed iii regard to the passage of
the Eugenic Marriage Law. 1t NAV
have been once an inalienabe right of
all adult persons to marry, but were the
institution better guarded there would
be more real happiness. The union of a
proiiigate man to healthy woman never
served any good purpose, although such
alliances are consummated sometimes
by church officials who lay great stress
upon the holiness of matrimony. Then
again. when left to their own choice
there are some women who select mates
who have lived lives of abandonment in
preference to those who have not. If
no one but the contracting parties suf-
fered from such work, it would not
matter, but usually, as in other things
concerning this world, the innocent are
forced to wallow in the same mire with
the guilty. Vermont Journal.

When boys in twelve southern
States can raise an acreage of 50 81
bushels of corn to the acre while their
fathers on similar lands are producing
only 20 l2 bushels, it is evident that the
American farmer has something to lean
about intensive farming. Such is the
object lesson afforded by the Boys Corr
Clubs in that section. The growth OF
the membership from 10000 to 81 coo
in six years shows the enthusiasm
aroused among the youthful husband
