THE STATUS OF WOMEN
Address at FortnishtIy BY Prof. G. G
Great.

At the Fortnightly on Saturday af
ternoon Prof. George G. Groat of the
University of Vermont spoke on The
Changing Industrial Status Of Wo
men," That the change in the last
century is great one, we all realize;
Its first stages, is never so clearly
brought out as when statistics are
used to show the increase in percent
age of the woman's part as a producer
in the mercantile world.
1t was centuries after men came to.
gether as industrial producers, before
they realized that only by organization
could they better their working condi
tions; and through organization came
legislation backed by public opinion,
In this way came about all the
changes that make for the betterment
of social conditions today and it must
be the same in the newer field. 'Wo
men must first learn the lesson of or.
ganization, then legislation comes
naturally and the man and woman are
side by side and will so stand in the
future.
While statistics are tiresome part
OF many lectures. they are to the stud
ent most powerful factors in showing
the direction Of future growth, and in
this case they can hardly be far from
the truth.
During the opening business session
the club members officially noted the
death of their esteemed vice-president
Mrs. Lester Hutchinson Nichols, by
passing resolutions Of regret, not only
expressing their sense of a persona
loss, but also that of loss to the com
munity at large.
The nominating committee for the
annual election on April fifteenth was
elected: Mrs. Mary Adams, chairman
Mrs. G. Philip Endress and Mrs
Harry S. Moses.

During the nasr three days, four
more boys have been taken into Gus.

There are several places about the

Paris, March 6.-The crown prince

Fierce onslaughts on the Cote de role
broke down under the enlilading fire
of the French.
With this attack the battle OF Yer

expected-the attack from the north

triangle of forts guarding Vcrdun

BREEDING STOCK EASILY SECURE

The officers of the Bennington Coun
ty Forest, Fish and Game association
held meeting in the Office of the sec
retary, William H. Wills, Monday eve.
ming to review the work OF the associ-
alton and make future plans.
The most interesting bit OF work
transacted was the motion to plant
several colonies Of beaver along the
mountain streams in Bennington coun-
ty. Beaver have entirely disappeared
from this part OF the country. To pre-
vent a re-ocurrance OF this, 1t has been
proposed that the Fish and Game as
sociation, in conjunction with Com
missioner Titcomb, purchase the beav.
er and care for them. The state law
does not allow an open season on
beaver.
1t is well-known fact that the pres
ence of beaver on stream helps the
fishing, for trout are always to be
found in the ponds made by the beaver
dams. They are inoffensive little ami
mails and later there would be a rev.
enue from the sale Of pelts, after they
had a chance to multiply and their
killing regulated. They breed rapidly,
the increase being about 32 to l for
each generation.
The association can procure the
number 1t desires from fish and game
headquarters in New York state at a
small cost. 1t was decided that the
executive committee look into the
matter and report more conclusiyely
at the next meeting. ~,
The officers also discussed at some
length the advisability of importing
several elk into Bennington county.
There is an abundance of the animals
in Wyoming from which that state
will gladly sell enough TO start breed
ing in Vermont for about So head.
Transportation charges would amount
to about $45 per head before the ami
mails were freed and probably not
more than half-dOzen would be
necessary. The Vermont climate, it is
argued, is favorable to their propaga'
tion and after few seasons they
would be as plentiful as deer. This
action was also referred to the COM
mittee for report later.
The association now has the largest
membership in its history, credit being
due to the membership committee
which has brought in $50 paid members
since the last meeting. The officers
are working for $50 members and the
prospects are excellent for securing
that number between now and July.
President Greenslet gave an inter
esting account of the recent Vermont
Fish & Game league convention in Bur-
lington and reports of the officers
showed the association in aourishing
condition.

BALLOT ON PERRY
BILL TO REMAIN
OPEN TILL I
Decided That it viii Not Close as
First Announced
BENNINGTON AGAIN VOTES WET
BIG Vote Cast in Village But Bad
Roads Kept Many Farmers
at Home.

Bennington again voted wet and the
majority is increased over last year.
owing in part to the agitation over
prohibition and in part to the In.
creased vote.
The total vote on the license ques-
ton was 1887 >, or these 1921 were for
license and 566 were no license. The
majority for license is 455
The total vote is large, but not as
large as expected. The village vote
turned cut well, but the bad roads
kept many farmers at home. The
total vote cast is around 1900 which is
larger than the usual town meeting
vote.
The first ballots counted were for
town road commissioners and school
directors. In the north district AL
fred II. Harbour was elected road COM
missioner over Houghton Rice by a
vote of 125 to 120. In the south dis.
trict John Scully is elected, receiving
127 votes to 107 for Myron Stratton.
Harry NJ. Dunham is again elected
school director. He got $50 votes to
81 for Louis Briggs.
The referendum ballot on the Perry
bill and the direct primary will remain
open until the vote for the town ticket
is counted This will probably be
about I O'Clock. The law in this re-
gpect says that the referendum boxes
shall remain open until the end OF
town meeting.
