the significance of the visit, and in a
measure, the glory of the visitors, re-
wolves around wartime conditions.
Rarely has an inaugural, pageant, or
celebration of any sort stirred the
Capital so deeply as the simple but
impressive ceremonies which served
to extend a welcome to the foreign
visitors and to give Washington its
first vital glimpse of the history of
the war in the making.
The President and Mrs. Wilson ex-
tended the hospitality of the White
House ia the two commissions sepa-
rately, the President entertaining Mr..
Balfour and the members of the Brit
ish Commission at dinner on Monday
evening and, with Mrs. Wilson, was
host at a brilliant dinner for the
French mission on Thursday. Mr..
Balfour called upon Mrs. Wilson
Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by
Mr.. Hugh Gibson, of the State De-
partment, and had tea. He later
drove to the home of the Secretary
of State and called upon Mrs. Ian

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
is EXTENDED.
Legislature Working on Most Essen
tial Bills of the Session. Inves-
tigation Ended.

The bill increasing the salary of the
auditor of accounts from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, which was once killed
has been reconsidered and ordered to
third reading. 1t developed that
many members did not know that the
sum of $4,000 was $500 less than Gov.
Graham received during the last years
of his incumbency in the state audi
tors office.
The house has refused to concur in
the senate proposal of amendment
fixing the salary of the fish and game
commissioner at $500.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Prouty of
Newport relates to an armory in the
village or city of Newport. 1t pro-
vides for municipal offices in the new
armory when built and the bill has
passed the house.
The entering wedge for the success
of woman suffrage at the present leg
islative session was driven Friday
when by a yea and nay vote of 104 to
100, the house passed the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Stearns of Burlington,
giving tax-paying women the right to
vote in town meetings. The passage
of this bill will, it is believed, insure
smooth sailing for the measure intro
duced by Mr.. Stearns Of Burlington,
giving all women the right to vote on
the payment of a poll-tax.
One of the strangest incidents of
the session occurred when the name of
Mr.. Bond of Searsburg was reached
on the aye and nay vote on the woman
suffrage bill. Mr.. Bond arose, stated
that he did not like the bill, but was in
favor of woman suffrage, and asked
to be excused from voting, but the
house by a rising vote of 1O1 to 81
refused to allow him to refrain. He
then voted against the bill. The dis
approval which has been voiced in
some quarters with the general
scheme of highway building in Ver-

Minstrels Please Crowd.

The Community Minstrels of Glov-
er pleased a well-filled house at Sea-
ver's hall Friday evening. This
show has been given twice in Glover
with suitable write-ups and need not
be again rehearsed at length here as
the production was practically a du-
plicate of former shows, but every
number brought forth much applause.
The chorus singing of the old songs
touched a responsive chord in the
hearts of the listeners and number
of the solo parts were very well rem
dered.
A. D. Phillips, a Barton boy, the
son of H.. D. Phillips, especially
pleased his audience with crayon pic
lures which he drew on the stage.
Two were done in colors, one being
made bottom upwards. The speed
with which he worked and the idea of
making the picture to illustrate a
song were novel.
Barton is indebted to the school
for getting the Glover people here,
and the young people were able to
realize a little profit from the pro-
ductiOn.

Lowell Asbestos Company Plans.

Construction work is going rapidly
ahead at Stevens Mills and Cranky,
P. O., on power plants of the Vermont
and Quebec Power company in order
that the company may be in readi-
ness for furnishing power to the
United States Chrysotile Asbestos
Company Inc, of New ork, which
owns and operates the asbestos mines
in Lowell and for which electrical
power will be delivered by July 1 this
year. Already the company has one
6OO-unit operating at Stevens Mills
but they will start the installation of
the second unit of the same size Mar.
26. The asbestos company has con-
tracted for 1900 horse power of which
300 will be used day times while from
25O to 500 will be used as a night
load, for the company expects to work
the men night and day from o'clock
Monday morning to o'clock Satur-
day night. Just how many men will
be needed in this work is not known,
but it is safe to say that the asbestos
company will do a great deal for the
towns of Lowell and Eden 1t is ex-
pected they will draw the asbestos
from the mines to Hyde Park as was
done a few years ago. The Chryso-
tile company has made thorough in
vestigation of the Thetford, P. O.,
vein of asbestos and finds the Lowell
product is excellent Overrunning what
is generally found.
Mr.. Thompson's company has fur
nished $4,000 bond for delivery of
the power to the company.
In connection with the work and
development of this company it will
be of interest to know that Repre-
sentative Parker Of Lowell has intro
duced bill in the legislature to in
corporate the village of Chrysoville,
where the asbestos company is locat-
ed.

Tax Commissioner Plumley will be

In connection with this item re-
garding the listers meeting it will be

follows:
"By authority of the laws of Ver-
mont, l do hereby direct the listers of
each town and city, and the supervis-
ers of all unorganized towns and
cores, to forthwith make an enroll
ment of all able-bodied male citizens
in their respective towns and cities
who are between the ages of 18 and
As years and liable to military duty.
Such enrolment will be made under
the direction of the adiutant and in
spector general, who will cause copies
Of this order to be mailed to all con-
cerned, furnish the necessary blank
forms and prescribe the regulations
to carry this order into effect.
