One matter of vital Importance, and
which has not been very well under
stood was how. the various roads are
maintained. The county court lays
district levy, which amount is used
exclusively in the districts. Another
levy is laid for the general road fund.-
which is used by the court in main
tanning roads not maintained by the
districts, Martinsburg does not pay
and district, tax, but does pay the
special levy which is 5 cents. If the
10 cents levy carries. Opequon dis
tr.ct will be barred from voting an in
crease of 20 cents, and would nos
enjoy any of the benefits, but the re-
mainder of the county would vote and
if the proposition carries would, of
course, benefit.
1t seemed to be the prevailing
opinion that the toll gates must go,
Jefferson county was cited as an ex-
ample. When the gates were removed
i'll that county the road levy was made
% cents, but since then it has been
reduced to Il IL and Is cents. Now
it is proposed to restore the former
levy of rs cents and cover the roads
with a tar binder 1t was pointed that
through the work Of Messrs. Hendrix
and Mcdonald jefferson county has
good roads, and it was decided to in
vite them and Nelson Roberts, mem
/ her. OF the county court, to attend the
next meeting, and give what informa
ton they can as. to the. best method
to pursue, and the probable cost.
1t was shown that the total valua.
ton of Jefferson property is SIC, 291,-
4G1, and has a county levy of % cents
with district levies of12 1-2and Is
cetns, while Berkeley has as assessed
valuation of $21,324 916 with a levy
OF cents and a special levy of cetts.

Club for Rutland Men.

The trustees of the Rutland Pythian

zation, will open the splendid club

brought to bear upon the association by
a number of leading citizens to formu-

accomplished.
This valuable property, centrally To-
Gated, probably the most elaborate club
house in the state. was first offered to
the citizens OF Rutland as a business

formed to take hold of the project and
push it through. Enterprising spirits
connected with the Pythian order then
took il up and contaminated the deal

VERMONT POOR WELL TREATED.
Only About $50 Are Being Kept at Poor
Farms.

Rutland. Feb, s--The fact that there
are only about $50 inmates of poor
houses in all the state of Vermont was
brought out yesterday afternoon at the
lecture given by Mrs. o. G. Ashton of
this city at The Berwick under the aus
pieces of the Equal Suffrage league. When
Mrs. Ashton was chairman of the civil
service reform committee of the State
Federation of Woman's Clubs an inves.
tigation was made through club women
to find If there were abuses in the man
agement of the penal institutions and
in the poorhouses of Vermont. 1t was
found that at that time there was only
the small number stated of town and
city charges. Often but two or three
inmates would be found at poor farm.
1t was also found that there were
no abuses fragrant enough to warrant
being taken against the keep
ers except in about the largest one in
the state which Is too close at hand to
say much about and which under the
present management is most exem-
plary institution. Mrs. Ashton stated
that if club women would take the pains
TO visit such institutions throughout the
state, the mere fact that people were
would in most instances be
enough of stimulant to the keepers
TO keep everything running in the right
direction.

Bennington Population May Be 10000

Bennington's check list for use at the
annual town meeting was posted ON
Saturday and is found to contain 1858
names, the largest number in the towns
history. Last year the total number of
names was considerably less than $500.
In view of the fact that as yet no
special interest has developed in the
choice of officials at the coming election,
the increase in the number of voters,
shows that Bennington is growing in
population and growing rapidly.
A check list of 2,55S at this time
should indicate that the towns popula
ton is at least 10000 and probably a
few in excess of that number.
In 1910, when the last federal census
was taken, Bennington was given a pop
ulation of S,69S. The check list in the
same year contained the names of 1881
voters. The ratio of population to cen
sus in that year was a fraction less
than 4 to l. Applying these same deduc-
tions to the check list at the present
time and the total number of inhabi-
tants in Bennington should be at least
10000.

The daughters of the land of flowers
sometimes curtously reverse European
methods. They needle their thread in
stead of threading their needles, and
instead of running their needle through
the cloth they hold 1t still and run the

resident in Tokyo once wrote to

and other similar things topsy turvy
