Asbestos is found widely throughout

ply Of crude asbestos suitable for the

miles from Quebec.
1t is stated upon the authority of
the meteorological survey of the United
States that the Lowell vein is a con
tinuation of the Canadian rock vein.
The market for asbestos products
today is very strong owing TO the in
creased use of the fiber in many man

dian embargo. There is every promise
that the Lowell development means the
permanent opening of an industry that
will mean much to Vermont and espe-
cially to the immediate section near

THE MILK CAMPAIGN.
Organizers to Devote Their Attention to
the State Next Week - Dates of
Meetings.

Great success has attended the cam.
2aign of the New England Milk Pro
ducers' association since it opened its
state-by-state organizing plan. TIE
first of these "drives" was made in
New Hampshire. This week the organ
izers are in Maine. Next week will be
Vermont's turn and thereafter one
week each will be devoted to the three
southern states of the group.
Secretary Richard Pattee from his
headquarters in the Myrick building in
Springfield, Mass, in Offices connected
with the Eastern States Exposition, is
directing the campaign, and expresses
much satisfaction with the progress
being made. He freely predicts that at
last the milk producers of New Eng
land are to have an association big
and strong enough to make itself heard
when contracts with distributors in
the cities are dealt with, and that
without the usual long contests.
The next meeting of the New Eng
land association will be held in Bos
ton Feb. %, and by that time the to
tai membership will be well up in the
thousands. For the Vermont cam
paign, which will open next Monday
Feb. 5, the state has been laid out in
to districts which will fully cover CIV
cry county in the first five days of the
week. On Saturday will come tn

EFFORTS TO BREAK
 CHAN LETTERS FAIL

Contributions to the fund for the establishment of hospital in France for the treatment of the face and jaw, started by a chain letter system begun more than two years ago by Louis Herritte, former consul for France at Seattle, con- tinue to pour in from all sections of the country, despite the repeated protests of Pierre d-Humilly de Che willy, Mr Herritte's successor in charge of the local consulate
 The hospital for which the fund was started having been completed long since, Consul de'Humilly de Crevilly has made a number of un- successful attempts to break the chain. When he came to Seattle he found fund of about $1 300 on deposit in the bank for savings, and he wrote the French ambassa- dor at Washington, D. c. for in- struction as to what to do with the fund.
 Break the chain" was the first reply received. Later Consul d'Hu- milly de Chevilly was notified that the money on depositin Seattle and collected by the chain letters would be turned over to some American institution for the use of American soldiers. Consul d'Humilly de Che willy is now awaiting an order as othe institution to which the fund is to be made payable.
 Meanwhile postoffice officials at Seattle have been instructed to re- turn to the senders who have been made victims of the chain letters all contributions where the names of he senders can be learned
