phlets.

The large and important collection Of
Vermont historical pamphlets compiled
by the late Horace w. Bailey, U. $. mar
shall, have been secured for Middlebury
college. Several friends united in con-
tributions to make it possible for the
college to secure the collection. Mr..
Bailey had spoken of placing his Yer
mont items in the fire proof library at
Middlebury and it was on this account
that the executors of his estate gave the
college the first opportunity to purchase
them. The collection comprises l2s vol
umes and includes many rare items and
pamphlets Of great historical interest.
II was the work of many years on the
part of Mr. Bailey, it being his hobby
to gather everything he could of in-
portance in Vermont history.

when the railroads conclude. Repre-
sentatives of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, the Western
Union Telegraph Company, several of
the big express companies were pres
ent and will be heard before the com
mittee reports.
The railroad phase of the investi-
cation is expected to take most of the
time of the committee, but under the
resolution which created it, its invest
igations are to extend to all such pub
lie utilities.
In Senator Newland's opening state
ment he said the inquiry will "relate
to every phase of the transportation
question, the rail carriers, the river
carriers and the ocean carriers, and
the perfection of a harmonious sys-
tenn Of transportation embracing rail,
river and ocean carriers that will
meet the demands of interstate as
well as foreign commerce, and it will
also be applied to telegraph and tel
ephone lines, express companies and
other public utilities"

COMMITTEE BEGINS
INQUIRY INTO WHAT
AILS THE RAILROADS

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20.--What
is the matter with the railroads and
what kind of legislation Congress
might enact to better conditions will
be pictured to the joint congressional
committee investigating transporta-
ton problems, beginning Tuesday, by
the executives of some of the great
est systems of the country.
The investigating committee held
its first session today, heard an open
ing statement by its chairman, Sena-
tor Newlands, and received notice of
appearance from nearly 100 public
utility companies, State railway COM
missions, commercial and industrial
organizations and shippers and indi-
viduals. Few who noted appearances
seemed ready to open the hearings
with testimony and in executive SEES
sion tonight the committee decided to
hear the railroads first, in the belief
that their executives are better pre-
pared to state their case without fur
ther delay.
The Railway Executives Advisory
Committee, composed of more than a
dozen heads of important systems,
was advised and it is expected that
most of its members will testify be-
fore the railroad side is completely
told.
The committee decided to hold hear
ings each week day from 10 a. m. to
1880 p. m. No decision was reached
as to what witnesses will be called

a CALL FROM MERCY HOSPITAL
Kansas CITY, Mo-. Nov. IL, 1916.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. IL, 1916.
Dear Mr.. Editor:-I think that ev-
erybody who reads the Kansas City
papers knows something of Mercy
Hospital and its efforts to make self
supporting citizens out of the little
crippled people, and knows, too, that
Mercy is devoted only to "Those who
cannot pay" and that it has no line
of creed or location. But some of
Mercy's best friends do not under
stand that the Hospital of the Little
People is not endowed-that last year
it cared for nearly three thousand sick
and crippled children--and that it de-
ponds for its support upon the volun-
tary contributions of it's friends.
This winter promises to be hard
one for Mercy Hospital, for the 1.-TWO
Dollar a Day Man" cannot now meet
the expenses of long sickness, and
SO Mercy's wards will be crowded by
those who perhaps never before asked
for help. Potatoes and coal and -four
and eggs are very pressing necessi-
ties, and we all know what is happen
ing to the prices of all these things.
Mercy begs the editor to give room
in his columns for this letter from its
Corresponding Secretary, for, there
are thousands of people everywhere
who would help Mercy Hospital take
careGf its family of sick and crippled
children if they only knew that this
call for help is very earnest and very,
very real. Sincerely,
MERCY'S SECRETARY.

FALL IS TIME FOR REDUCING
SIZE OF POULTRY FLOChS

Fall is the season for reducing poul-
try ilocls, George w. Harvey Of The
College of Agriculture Of the Univer-
sity of Missouri says. Surplus cock
rels should be disposed of and older
cocks and hens sold, unless the hens
are good producers. Pullets that are
weak or in any way deformed should
not be kept through the winter. 1t is
a matter CT unnecessary expense, Mr..
Harvey says, and the culling out pro
cess will make the flock stronger.
Sickness CT poultry in the winter,
especially respiratory diseases such
as roup and colds, is the result of
poorly constructed shelters. There
should be from two to five square feet
of floor space for each bird and one
nest box for every four birds. Five
or six inches of straw litter should be
placed on the floor. The feeding of
grain on this will make the birds
scratch, giving them exercise.
