WOULD CLOSE SOME SCHOOLS.
Supt. Wright Of ST. Adams Wants to
Dismiss High School in Nav.

ST. ALBANS, Dee l4.-Supt. George
;. Wright has presented to the board
OF school commissioners recommended
tions regarding plans for work for the
remainder of the school year with a
view of conserving fuel. He recon-
mends that the high school and the
three upper grades, beginning January
>, be i'll session six days a week until
the school year is completed which
would be- about MAY -. This would
release at the earliest, possible date
the boys in the school for work ON the
farm and IN the shop
Mr.. Wright also recommends that
the first FIVE grades close at the end of
this term until some date in March and
then remain in session six DAYS a week
until the year is made up which would
bring the closing time in July. This
arrangement would permit the closing
OF the three primary buildings and OF
three rooms in the other building for
the winter
No action has been taken on the
matter yet and the board will proba-
bly, be Influenced iii its decision by pol-
ular opinion. An expression of opin.
| ION has been asked by the board.

COMRADE BURIED AT SEA.
SeIgt. Macdonald, Formerly Of Hins-
dale, Writes of His Trip.

Shirley B. Macdonald, sergeant
with Company l.. Second MASSACHUSETTS
regiment, who was born and reared IN
Hinsdale, " H., and still has many
friends III this locality, has written an
interesting letter to his mother, Mrs.
N. Martin of Springfield, Mass, which
covers in diary form the company S en-
tire trip from Camp Bartlett in West
field to a similar camp somewhere IN
England.
Leaving the camp in Wcstfeld Sept.
>, the regiment was travelling without
lengthy stop until it reached its des-
tination Oct. Is. The ocean voyage was
started from Halifax Sept. % and
three or four memoirs of the contin-
gent were left behind i'll hospitals al
Halifax with contagious diseases. One
WAS taken sick after setting sail and
Sergt. Macdonald gives a pathetic
touch to his letter by describing the
death and burial at sea of this com.
radc. No name is mentioned, but he i
referred to as having been transferred
to the company.

MILLION WASTED BY
p. O.. SAYS MADDEN
Envelope Contract Price Was Boosted
Without Authority, Illinois Rep
resentative Asserts.

WASHINGTON, Dee. l4.-What APP
pears to be an absolute waste of ST.
10000 of the public funds has been
drawn to the attention of the house by
Representative Madden (Ill), III de-
bate on the postofiiee appropriation
bill. The extra expense to the gov
eminent was incurred by the postofiice
department without any authority of
law, it was pointed out
The money involved is concerned in
the government contract for envelopes
for which for the past several years it
has been the custom to~pav so cents
1000.
Without any authority of ,law the
department cancelled the al con
tract Mr.. Madden declared, ''and
made new one and instead of paving
50 cents a 1000, which they have been
paving under the old contract. they
agreed to pay and are paving $l.22 a
| 900 under the new contract. The diff
| ference between 81 cents 900 and
| @l.22 a 900 amounts TO $l,l75 900 on
| the contract.
The excuse given for the difference
i'll price was that the cost of paper
had gone up and the contractor was
loAlHG money on the original contract,
Mr.. Madden pointed out; also that the
contractor had given q 5000 bond
for the faithful performance of the SO
cent contract. Another excuse given.
he said, was that 4 better grade of en-
Nelope was wanted.
we have been using the same quail
ltv Of paper for ten years in time of
peace, y Mr.. Madden said, land the
department did not decide that we
ought to have a higher grade Of pa
per until We came to a period OF war.
TO the question why We should I'M
load an additional burden on the peo-
pie of $l,175,0o0 through favoring this
contractor the answer comes from the
purchasing agent that it does not cost
the government anything, as it is the
purpose to charge the consumer OF the
envelopes the additional cost. -

istration and separation, which the
country does not desire.
The protest contends that these items
should be included in the German levy
already referred to. The signatories
assert that their protest is justified in
view of the fact that the Germans not
only imposed new taxes in 1916
amounting to 27,500,000 francs, but
now have established a tax on securi
ties, in contravention Of The Hague
convention.
The protest demands the removal of
the budget items and also the removal
of the new taxes.
