GLEE CLUB GIVES CONCERT.
High School Students Render Preten-
tious Program with Credit to Them
selves and Instructor.

The small audience that gathered in
the main room of the high school
building Monday night for the annual
High School Glee club concert enjoyed
treat. The program was rather
pretentious one for a high school glee
club and for that reason the excellent
choral work, with ample volume and
precision of attack, was the more to
be commended and enjoyed. 1t reflect
ed credit on Miss Lucy A. Proctor,
supervisor of music, under whose in
struction the chorus had been and I'M
der whose direction the program was
given.
In addition to the choral work
Stewart 2. Stearns, IS, was heard in
n piano solo, in which his work was
delightful, as always, and he respond
ed to a prolonged encore. Miss La
noble G. Langworthy, 'l6, pleased her
audience with violin solo, and she,
too, was obliged to respond to an en-
core. Another especially enjoyable
feature was the baritone solo, Rollin
Down to Rio, by Abbott b. Richmond,
II, and his encore number was as
much enjoyed as was his solo. San
ford G. Plumb, '16, and Miss Harriet
f. Arnold, ~, had incidental solos
in choral numbers, and their work was
of pleasing character, Miss Jessie
L. Hawley was at the piano during
the evening and her accompaniment
had much to do with the pleasure of
! the entertainment. The program fol

Mrs. Bert Mundell who lives on the old

SPOKANE FOR FARM LOAN BANK.
R. R. Rogers of Vermont Loan g. Trust
Co. Favored for $4,000 Position on
National Board.

Local national bankers, while not
affected directly by tle rural credits
bills, recently passed by both the
house and the senate in Washington,
D. c., are skeptical regarding the prac-
ticability of the idea, especially as
it pertains to agricultural districts in
the Pacific northwest. The establish
ment of federal farm loan board and
the creation of IL district land banks
in federal farm loan districts will di-
rectly affect the mortgage loan COM
panies in theory at least.
All the bankers are unanimous in de-
claring that, should sucn legislation be
enacted, which seems inevitable, Spo.
kane is unquestionably the logical
center for one of the district farm
loan banks. They also advance the
of the Vermont Loan and Trust com
pany, and r. Insinger, manager of the
Hypotheekbank, as eligibilities for the
federal farm loan board in Washington,
positions which carry salaries of $780,
GOO year. 1t is also believed that the
administration must recognize tle
ability of Spokane mortgage men in
the assignment of positions in connec-
ton with the district banks.
"The farm loan board will operate
in much the same way as the federal
reserve board and the district banks
will be much like the district banks of
that system" said w. d. Vincent, vice
president of the Old National bank,
with the difference that the nan who
borrows from land bank must be a
shareholder and subscribe to its CAPT
tai stock through the local associa-
tions. 1t is a question just how far
the farmers will 90 into a thing of this
kind.
cit is a foreign idea adapted from
| Europe. The banks are most interested
in the possibility of the banks lend
ing the postal savings funds. 1t is all
an experiment, based on the theory
that the farmer needs more capital
The land bank should treat him as the
| federal reserve bank treats the mem
Der bank by insisting on business-like
methods, proper bookkeeping and a
showing of earning power before cred
| it is extended. 1t is not enough to loan
on the value of his land.
Gin r. II. Rogers and r. Insinger
| Spokane has two prominent and able
farm loan men who should be consid
cred by the government in naming the
federal farm loan board and Spokane
should have a district land bank by
all MEANS
F. M. March, vice president of the
Exchange National bank, is of the
opinion the experiment will not prove
practical in the northwest, where farm
land is so diverse and prices are OF
wide range. He is of the opinion il
will be difficult matter for the farm
err who really needs credit to secure
it under the system.
cit is moral certainty that the
rural credits bill will become a law

ONE OF TOWNS BUSY PLACES.
G. H. Eddy g. Co.'s Bottlng Plant,
Which Does Big Business. Model
of Cleanliness.

The recent spell of weather started
up the demand of soft drinks with a
rusl and from now until snow flies the
G. II. Eddy & Co. s bottling works
will be one of the busiest places in
town. There is a demand for the bev-
erages manufactured by the company
the year around, but naturally, the
warm weather increases the demand
materially. Besides the soft drinks
the concern manufactures about all of
the staple favors of extracts used in
households, toilet waters and other
similar commodities.
During the past winter the interior
of the plant was entirely renovated.
Some changes in the interior have been
made to give better light and make
easier the handling of the products in
the different phases of their prepare
ton for the market. The interior of
the plant is spotlessly clean. Tle walls
and floor have been especially treated
with the idea of reducing to the lowest
possible degree the danger of any con-
tamination. From beginning to end of
the process of manufacture no human
hands touch the materials that enter
into the manufacture of either the
drinks or the extracts.
In the big room in which the several
well known brands of drinks are man
ufactured the entire work is done by
machinery. In huge 100 gallon cop
per tank from the purest of sugar is
manufactured the syrup. When ready
this is pumped into huge porcelain jars
where it remains until wanted in
greater or lesser quantities. 1t is then
transferred to copper receptacles for
transportation to the bottiing machine
Some idea of the magnitude of the
bottling business may be obtained from
the statement that the concern has in
almost constant use about $4,000 cases
that contain four dozen bottles each
A little mathematical calculation will
give the total number of bottles, emp
ty and full, in transit or in storag,
constantly.
The bottles are placed in a machine
which plunges them into strong
cleansing solution, where they remain
20 minutes and are automatically con
veyed to a rinsing bath, the insides OF
tne bottles being rinsed with hot wate
and the outside with cold.
From this machine they go on a con
veyor to the bOttling machine. II
the top or TINS is the receptacle contain
ing the mixture that is being bottled
at the time and in another the carbon
% ated water. Automatically teh me
? cnine places in each bottle the exac
. amount of syrup required and fills
! with carbonated water and caps it wit
| the metal cap. The conveyor then car
5 ries the bottles to the next machin
? where labels are placed on each bottle
Q One man is at each machine and tn
= speed with which the bottles are file
Y is astonishing. The capacity of tn
: plant is about 200 cases a day and /

: that there is any surplus stock o
land.

{ drinks has its busy season but the e.
tract department is busy all the tim
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1916-06-09

In another division of the plant is the
room devoted to the making of the
household extracts that for the last 40
years nave had steadily increasing
sale.
The company has three travelling
statesmen on the road constantly and
covers all of Vermont, nearly all of New
Hampshire, eastern Massachusetts and
part of northern New York. The
company anticipates that this year will
far exceed in point of business any
previous year since the industry was
started on small scale.

BUSY AT FEDERAL BUILDING.
Plans Received for Marble Wainscot-
ting, for Which Bids Must Be in
Washington by June 10.

AS the result of the efforts Of the
Brattleboro board of trade and Sena-
tor G. S. Page to have marble win
scoting instead of oak used in the
lobby of the new federal building,
plans for the substitution of the ma
tive stone have been received here.
Bids are to be filed in the Office Of
the supervising architect in Washing
ton by June ID.
The interior of the new building is
busy place just now. In every part
of the building mechanics of one trade
or another are busily at work. The
big Otis elevator is being installed.
Electricians are at work running
their conduits. The worknen are put
ting in the fire proofng materials on
the walls and around the pillars and
the plasterers will be at work before
the end of the month.
