Mrs. Thomas A. WEIGH.

This community was deeply saddened
Wednesday by the death of Mollie Lii
Ian U4owelD Welch, %, of acute
nephritis. Mrs. Welch was taken i'll
last Monday and continued to fail
rapidly and the end came at 'cloclS
in the afternoon. She was a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Forest S. Lowell of
Reading, Mass, formerly of this town,
and was born in Gilsum % years ago
last December. She attended the
Keene high school and later took a
course in the Keene normal school and
moved to this town with her parents
about four years ago.
Last April she became the wife of
Thomas A. Welch, since which time they
had made their home here. Mrs. Welch
was an accomplished pianist and her
genial disposition made for her host
of friends and acquaintance. Besides
her husband and parents she leaves two
sisters, Mrs. George r. Perham of West
Swanzey and Miss Bernice Lowell of
Reading, Mass.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at / o clock at the house and the
burial will take place in Pine Grove
cemetery.

fully to what extent the state was will
ing to help in this matter, also the
many advantages, particularly financial
of completing the remaining strips of

stead of constructing a small part each
summer. The state also is willing to
assume charge of maintaining those
sections of state road already built be-
tween here and Brattleboro, including
those constructed by the Connecticut
River Power Co. and the Boston &
Maine railroad, agreeing to pay $1.7j
to every 81 raised by the town for this
purpose. The town, of course, will have
to appropriate the usual sum for the
maintenance of the trunk line macad-
am road, and as one patrolman has more
than he can do on the latter road an
other patrolman will have to be as
signed to the Brattleboro road if pres
ent plans are carried out, and it is rea-
sonable to believe that the voters will
agree to Mr.. Brooks S suggestions.

c. l.. Witherell of Middlebury, own
or of the Belmont Farm orchards, is
one of the Vermont apple growers who
is evidently up to date and making the
most of his opportunities. 1t seems
that he is packing his apples, which
are extra fine fruit-but just such fruit
as any other Vermont orchard man
could produce-in most attractive
way. He is wrapping each apple neat
" in tissue paper and shipping them
in boxes just as far western growers
put up their apples and citrus fruits.
As a consequence, by means of adyer-
Using and solicitation, he is delivering
his product in the cities at fancy
prices. Mr.. Witherell Is getting tire,

1915, to July l, 1916. The estimates are
based on the change in population as
revealed in 1900 and 1910 censuses and
are, of course, not considered entirely
reliable. 1t seems to The Times as ii
the estimate of the gain in Vermont is
too moderate inasmuch as there has
been a considerable influx of popula-
tion through the increased impetus to
nearly all the industries in various
parts of the state during the last few
months. Reports from many of the in
dustrial centers of Vermont indicate
thriving industrial conditions, which, in
turn, must mean greater employment
and consequent acquisitions of pOpula
tion. There is some cause of satisfac
tion, however, in the report of the cen.
sus bureau inasmuch as the neighbor-
ing state of New Hampshire is credited
with gain of only 1929, while Iowa
actually retrogressed in population, ac-
cordng to the same tabulation.

Endowed Churches.
springfield Reporter.)

The Barton Monitor and the Rut
land Herald, in discussion concerning
the condition of rural churches in the
state, note that the Congregational
church at Westfeld has an endow-
ment of $4,000, which yields, at five
per cent, the sum of 500 per year
FOR maintenance. If this sum were sup
plemented by adequate gifts by the
people of that section the church would
certainly be enabled to splendidly
serve the field by all kinds of modern
rural service, as well as the direct
preaching of the gospel. And the Her
aid rightly lays strong stress upon the
fact that the modern minister who sue
ceeds in rural parish must enter in
to the everyday life of the people, and
prove himselfja worthy leader in earth
IL as well as in heavenly affairs.
And large endowment, rightly used
and supplemented, could nightly aid
in this direction. However, it is often
the case that the existence of such an
endowment tends to dry up the springs
of generosity upon the part of church
members, and leads them TO rely upon
their vested funds rather than upon
their own gifts, and so narrows their
sympathies and lessons their activities.
Endowed churches have not been uni
form success in Vermont, or elsewhere.
1t would be better to bestow gifts upon
some domestic missionary organization,
so that the income could be admins
tered in proportion as the local
churches proved themselves worthy of
such largess.

MORTIFIED, MASS.
Water Question Is UP Again.

In the discussion of town affairs the
center of the stage is held just now by
the water supply and fire district ques
ton. The town having voted last
August to take over the property of the
Mortified Water Co. and an attempt
at the last town meeting to rescind the
vote having failed, further proceedings
looking to town ownership and the es
tablishment of n fire district were held
in the town hall Wednesday, when II
members Of the legislative committee
on water supply discussed the question
with citizens. About 100 voters were
present and both sides were heard.
George II. johnson of Lynn, chairman
of the committee, presided.
Those speaking in favor of the propo-
sition were Ambert G. Moody, DIR. N.
p. Wood, Rev. T.. s. Hunt, T. r. Callen-
der and Attorney A. s. Gordon, all of
Mortified. and Engineer G. f. Merrill
of Greenfield. Those opposed were rep
resented on the floor by DR.. r. II. Phil
brick and G. T.. Williams, both of
Mortified, and Attorneys William Dav-
enport aud Charles Stoddard of Green
field. The opposition argues that to
carry ont the proposition will mean
larger taxes, while all agree that a
larger water supply will be necessary
if a fire district is established.
An expression of the voters was
taken, showing 81 TO be in favor of the
project and % against it.
Yesterday DR.. Wood Mr.. Gordon
and Mr.. Hunt accompanied the commit
tee over the property of the water COM
pany and over the proposed layout of
the fire district
