WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstrset's Burlington ONCE reports
general volume Of business done by manu-
featuring interests has been delayed to
some extent by reason Of inability to OBJ
tain raw material. as we'll a. other factors
which are extraordinary for tho period.
Manufacturing interests. however. re-
port little business on hand and every
effort is being made to complete requi-
sition.
Severe cold weather has interfered with
transportation facilities. Further incon-
venience has been noted during the past
week by reason Of lack Of fuel for manu-
featuring plants. Business done at the re-
tail stores is reported as reasonably good.
although the week has noted several
closings Of smaller stores.
The failure report for the month of
January was less numerous then for the
same month in 1917. The total number of
failures for January. 1918, was six. wen
total assets of $500 and liabilities of SIS :
932. For same month Of a year ago there
were eleven failures, while January. 1915.
reported two. Amount Of money involved
for the month just closed was practically
the same as for that shown for year Of
1916.
Six domestic corporations were chartered
during the month of January this year
with an aggregate capital of $4,000.
January. 1917. gave Ave with a total
capitalization Of 100000.
Some complaint has been made regard
ing slow payments although locally, as a
rule. they are classed as fair.

WEATHER OUR BOYS FIND.

While patriotic considerations do not
permit of the disclosing of the location
ct the American troops in France. many
OF US are doubtless interested in the sort
Of climate they are In while we of Yer
mont are experiencing the rigors Of one
Of the periodical record winters. The cli-
matological division of the weather bu-
reau has compiled a bit Of information in
this direction. dealing with France as a
whole.
For purposes Of comparative study at
tention 10 called to the fact that Belgium
and France together occupy the region
on the western and northwestern coast Of
Europe between forty-two and hfty-one
degrees north latitude. or to be exact.
swenty-one minutes should be added to
each Of the degree figures stated. This
corresponds nearly TO that portion of the
American coast lying between Boston
and the northern end Of Newfoundland.
n IL shown that Marseilles the most
southerly important city Of France on the
Mediterranean. is farther north than
Boston, while Paris Is nearly 800 miles
farther north than Chicago or New York.
Tho most surprising comparison probably
10 that Brussels Is more than nifty miles
farther north than Winnipeg in Canada.
IN other words. Brussels is In about the

same latitude a. the southern portion OF
Hudson's bay.
Owing to the influence Of the warming
breexes from the Atlantic, however, the
temperatures along the northern coasts
of France and Belgium are about the
same as on our own northern Pacific coast.
1t IL said that the average monthly tenn
peratures at Dunkirk. France and Seat
tie, WASH, are practically identical. In
the south Of France the temperatures
throughout the year resemble those OF
southern Oregon and northern California.
During the winter months the averages
are not materially different from those
Of the Georgia and Carolina coasts. Tho
winter weather is rather rigorous and
unpleasant, due to the persistence OF
comparatively low temperatures. much
cloudiness and frequent rain and snow.
The winds blow mostly from the west or
southwest, and are frequently damp and
chilly. the relative humidity being some
what high.
With the transition from winter into
spring the rapid warming up familiar to
the people Of Vermont and other States
is not so noticeable in France and Bel
GUM. The summers are pleasant, the day
temperatures being mostly moderate and
the nights cool. Occasionally hot weather
IL experienced. but the heated terms arc
usually Of short duration. The fall IL
pleasant. especially during Sep.
tember and October.
While the Vermont boys and comrades
In arms hope to make the year 1918 ex-
hot for the Kaiser the chances
Are they themselves will have far more
moderate weather as regards both ex.
tremss Of heat and cold than they would
experience at home.

cording to the old adage, we had used

the groundhog's shadow plainly visible,
pointed to six additional weeks Of winter,
although one authority claims the ground

EDMUNDs GLoRrF1Es VERMONT.

While 1t il natural for men to look
back and say there were giants In those
days." there is one period in vermonts
history when this was particularly true
Of the Green Mountain States part In
national affairs. This period is we'll set
forth in a paragraph by the Brattleboro
Reformer as follows:
Ex-senator George F. Edmunds OF
Vermont recently passed the 9Oth mile
stone Of life in Pasadena, California,
where he lives q large part of the year.
Jacob Collamer and Ethan Allen are
the only vermonters' figures observed by
sight-seers in statuary hall in the Capitol
az Washington. bot in craftsmanship Ed
munds was unQusstionably the greatest
man who ever represented the Green
Mountain State in national councils, and
he was the only resident Of this State
who was ever strongly supported for the
Republican nomination for the presidency.
When Edmunds was at the head Of the
judiciary committee and Morrill, head Of
the finance committee Of the Senate. YER
mont held q more influential position than
any other State in the Union In the upper
branch Of our highest legislative body.
MT Edmunds 10 still keen Of intellect and
interested in public affairs. and from
time to time terse comment comes from
him ON questions Of national import
It Is worth noting in this connection
that Vermont in that golden age won
prestige in the national councils on great
moral and economic issues. Senator Nor
rills name is indelibly connected with the
great tariff system which helped this ma
ton to meet what were then regarded as
the enormous expenses Of the Civil War.
The Morrill, tariff Is on Of the milestones
in American progress and prosperity.
Senator Edmunds was recognised as one
the Senate. but his name is associated
with the measure born Of the high moral
sense Of the nation at that time which
found expression in the Edmunds anti
polygamy law. Mormonism was regard
ed. and rightly. as a moral cancer at
work in the very vitals Of the nation.
Polygamy does not change it's spots al
though It INDUCES generously In white
wash alias camounage. 1t is still UNDER
mining one Of the cornerstones Of our
republic. We need another Edmunda.

why is It. Peggy. that you don't want

mother. Peggy answered: because the
