MIR. VALLEYS SUCCESSOR.

Following upon the announcement OF
Guy W, Bailey's pending resignation
from the office of Secretary of state
some of the Montpelier dispatches
mentioned Judge John h, Weeks Of Mid
dlebury as a candidate. The Register,
without knowing Judge Weeks feelings
in the matter suggests that this boom
for him was altogether without his
knowledge, and it is one which The
Register refuses to further, Judge
Weeks is doing too valuable work in
his new Office as Director of state
Institutions to warrant any considera-
ton of change, however much it
might be to the advantage of the Office
Of Secretary Of State
Mention of w, r. McFeeters of Enos-
burg Falls, who is now state = attorney
Of Franklin County, Harry S, Black of
Newport, clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and Walter S, Fenton of
Rutland, and Ernest r.. Moore of
Ludlow, has also been made in connec'
ton with the secretaryship. The
Register believes that however much
any of the foregoing may be worthy OF
the office, the state owes much to
Walter II. Crockett, who has been such
an able assistant during Mr., Bailey's
administration, and it hopes that
Governor Graham may find it wise to
honor Mr.. Crockett with the appoint
ment when the time comes, Mr..
Crockett has been directing much OF
the publicity work done for the state
during the past few years and the re-
suits of his hard work are becoming
more and more apparent.
Mr.. Bailey, who was elected CON
troler of the University of Vermont al
the recent trustees meeting, will not
relinquish his Office probably unit
October LIST, however, and if there are
worthier eligibles doubtless they will be
heard from in the next few months.

POLIO VOLUNTEERS.

A new call for volunteers came yes
terday from the state capital and one
which all eEgibles should heed. The
State Board of Health announces that
the supply of 'polio serum" is
exhausted, and volunteers are called to
donate pint Of blood to help fight the
epidemic of infantile paralysis in Mont
pelier and Washington county. These
volunteers must be from among persons
who have had infantile paralysis and
who have now recovered fully and are
otherwise in perfect health. They must
be persons not under ten years of age.
The operation of taking the blood is
entirely harmless, and, while the SER
vice is first for the benefit of humanity,
the state board will pay such patients
$40 for the privilege of using their
blood to manufacture the serum which
so far has proven of immense value in
fighting the dread disease.
Out of IL or 10 cases treated with the
serum, all recovered and all except two
or three escaped paralysis. Now there
is no more serum and the only way il
can be secured is for old cases of polio
to come forward and give the state

Principal A, S, Hartman, reporting
on the condition of the high school says,
81 can only praise the quality Of in
struction which we have had the past
year, Our teachers of long standing,
Miss Warner and Miss Muldoon, are
well known 10 the whole village as
efficient and in every way satisfactory,
Our assistant in the Commercial De-
partment, Miss Meyer, and the instruc-
tor in Manuel Training, Mr., Virchow
who came to US last year have proven
themselves very capable and have fully
justified the decision of the committee
TO retain them. Our new teachers,
Miss Mead and Miss Carrigan, have
done well, and If we can retain them,
will ! am sure prove source of strength
to the school,
at il, of course, out Of my province
to speak of the work of our instructor
in the Teacher Training course, Miss
Jessie Freeman, as she is furnished
and her salary paid by the State Educa.
tional Department However, ! wish
to record here my satisfaction with her
work and my full appreciation Of the
excellent drill and preparation she has
given many of our recent graduates
81 wish also to express my satsiac.
tion that you have been able to retain
Miss Kingman to teach elocution to our
students for another year. ! know that
she was called 10 one of our large
cities to teach the same subject. Her
interest in the students Of our school
and of the Vergennes high school,
where she also teaches, was a strong
factor influencing her decision to re-
main with us. | know her interest is
sincere: know her skill in this work is
enviable; and ! believe the department
is strength to the school and to the
pupils under its influence.
"Under the guidance of Mrs.
Shackett, music teacherin the graded
school, High School Glee Chorus of
young ladies has been maintained
throughout the year Several concerts
of very interesting character have
been given entirely under the direction
of Mrs. Shackett.
During the past year we have had
the assistance of thirteen seniors from
the department of Pedagogy of Middle.
bury College. Not only has the Dis
trict been saved the expense of more
than two additional teachers, but it has
received without this expense instruc-
tion of very desirable quality. The
Department selected its strongest
students and maintained them in charge
of their classes for the entire year witt
few exceptions. 1t gives me pleasure
to commend so unreservedly the worb
of these instructors. So long as the
standard set this year for character
and disciplinary and teaching efficiency
can be maintained | shall have no hest
tation in urging the continuance of the
present arrangement with the co llege.

WHOA HUSH !

Some surviving member of the
Brotherhood of Oxen Drivers in Add
son County may be able to come to the
relief Of Mason S. Stone, former State
Superintendent of Education, who has
been appealed to by a compiler of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary for
the correct spelling, pronunciation and
definition of whoa hush ~ From a
gentleman of Montpelier The Register
learned this week that Mr.. Stone is
quite in doubt over the matter and
would be glad to have some oxen driver
help him out. "Whoa" as already de-
fined by the dictionary means to stop,
or halt, but the oxen driver, combining
il with "hush' or some exclamation of
similar sound, has turned the combna-
ton into command meaning ego on"
according to our best understanding and
belief AS we remember having heard
it, the "h" was silent whoa 'ush, the
whoa" being a subdued preliminary
command, and the "'ush" a vigorous
command of execution which well
trained oxen always seemed to readily
comprehend.
Heretofore the dictionary has made
no recognition of the word, but now
that it is growing to be extinct it offers
it place-as we have observed die
tionaries are wont to do.

Says the Bristol Herald, reporting i'm
provements at its local opera" house;
THE stage in Holley Hall is now
equipped with new curtains and scenery
that are up to date, The front cur
tain is a representation Of the Bay of
Naples and is happy change from the
Scene on the Rhine that we have
gazed on for over thirty years. "
If our neighbors in Bristol wanted to
bring their stage scenery up to date
why didn't they take that Rhenish
landscape and paint a flock of American
aeroplanes in its sky, or daub the fore
ground with mass of our boys in khaki?
Such is the "Scene on the Rhine" we
hope to gaze upon soon.

Have Hard Time in Mountains.

Corona. Colo.-The worst weather
conditions with which the Denver q
Salt Lake Railroad Company, the
Moffat Road, has had to contend since
the road was built have prevailed on
the top OF the Continental divide for
the last sixty days. Driven by the
high winds. the snow is piling up in
the cuts and, in spite Of the constant
work of two rotary plows, workmen
have been unable to keep the line
open. On account OF the weather con
ditions the road has been able to serve
the Western Slope of the divide with
intermittent train service only. In
some places along the line snow drifts
fifteen and twenty feet high have been
encountered.

the result of a peculiar malady that
is puzzling the State Board of Health
and the medical authorities of three
cities. The disease has been declared
by some to resemble typhus. and by
others to show some Of the character

Cantonwine. a farmer living near Sa-
Ida, was the first victim. He was
taken suddenly Ill and died in a few

EXCELLENT RETURNS

United States Settlers Becoming

The large number OF United states

inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. c. Lacy. late OF
WISCONSIN and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from WIS

He rented half-section of partly I'M
nroyed land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 2oo win
wheat. Also he had two cows and ~
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
