A section which will be read with in
terest in connection with the report of
the Carnegie Foundation is on the
RELATION To The STATE,
"The question Of the relation of the
State of Vermont to higher education,
which gave considerable anxiety TO the
three colleges of Vermont a few years
ago, seems to have been settled, The
annual appropriation of $28, 800 to Mid
dlebury College, of which S4, 800 is for
scholarships, was confirmed and made
permanent by the last Legislature. 1t
may be hoped that the subject will not
be agtated further. Additional scholar
ships are much needed with the increas-
ing number of Vermont students, and
Middlebury College has fewer scholar
ships than either Of the other institu-
tons. Doubtless there are pressing
needs in all the Vermont colleges, But
the State is already bestowing liberal
sum upon her colleges and there is a
general feeling that the amount should
not be increased. There exists kindly
disposition toward all the institutions
and qualification with the spirit of CO.
operation between them. To make
further appeals at this time would stir
old controversies and be in every way
unwise, We have received generous
help from the State and our present
duty is to undertake further progress
by our own efforts"
The necessity Of hospital, of re-
modelling the old chapel for suitable
offices, and of new recitation building
is urged. 1t is suggested that the new
building be called vermont Hall. I"

Woman's lot is weary one at best.
But with backache and other distressing
kidney ills life indeed becomes burden.
Doans Kidney Pills have made life
brighter for many Middlebury women.

Mrs. F. Cole, 10 Seymour ST., Middle
bury, says: "Overworking at my house
work caused my kidneys to become dis
ordered and my back got very stiff and
lame. My kidneys became irregular in
action, too. My eyes bothered me and
black spots and frey flashes appeared
before them. Sometimes when bending
over my back got SO stiff and lame |

boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and got
such fine results that the trouble has

At a neighborly gathering the other
evening six Middlebury ladies were eX-
amined on their knowledge Of sports
None of them knew who won the base
ball pennant last year, although one
thought perhaps it was Yale None
could tell the names of the two big
leagues. They did not remember how
the Harvard Yale football game came
out and they did not know who Jess
Willard was. Then the ladies turned
on their examiners and asked the men
questions about contemporary writer's
of fiction. The result illustrated the
old saying, Gle laughs best who laughs

PATRONS COOPERATIVE
INSURANCE.

The second annual meeting of the
Patrons Cooperative Fire Insurance
Company was held in the Grange hall in
this village Tuesday and was presided
over by Willis N. Cady. The secretary's
report showed that during the sixteen
months the company has been doing
business but 500 had been paid out on
losses. The risks have nearly doubled
since the organization began business,
the amount now in force being 1892, 1863.
In his annual report Secretary Foote,
speaking of the small losses so far, said
some might consider 1t luck, but credit
should be given directors and agents for
having used care and good judgment in
taking risks. Also in seeing to it that
chimneys and stove pipes were safe.
Secretary Foote emphasizes the fact
that properly rodded buildings are proof
against lightning, and patrons should
equip their buildings with them for their
own protection. Those who desire
chemical fire extingushers will be as
sisted by the company in getting them
at cost.
The general financial statement shows
the following: Amount in treasury,
January II, 1916, SAP; received from
premiums, $3.50; for interest, ST, which
makes total receipts $808. Disburse-
ments were as follows: Losses by fire
and lightning, 500; paid officers and
agents, printing, postage, etc, 500;
leaving balance in treasury $608.
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer were adopted and the follow
ing directors were elected for the ensu-
ing year; C. W. Howard of Shoreham,
F. c. Rawson of Whiting, W. F. Bump
of Salisbury, Edward Nichols of Bird
port, A. W. Foote Ct Cornwall, w. N.
Cady of Middlebury, H. H. Wheeler of

Monkton, A. G. Wright of Vergennes,

FRIDAY, JANUARY IL, 1917.

The point raised by our Springfield
correspondent on sheep raising in Yer
mont, which was called out by the adj
vertisement of the Mortified Savings
Bank, is well worth consideration. The
sheep business was declining before the
Cleveland low tariff, but undoubtedly
free wool gave it further push down
hill. Now wool is high again, but the
foreigner gets the profit But is there
not an advancing market for mutton
which no tariff tinkering can destroy?
