BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstreets Burlington office reports
conditions surrounding the lumber In
dustry show a good demand for that
article, but principally by reason of gov
ArYlent orders. House construction Is at
!. low mark,
Operations In the woods are handicapped
by reason OF difficulty In obtaining labor.
The amount of business done by textile
manufacturers has had its resultant effect
in causing heavy demand for bobhns,
Veneer Ii in good demand for general
purposes. Furniture factories are placing
orders freely and among these latter
plants there Ii plenty Of business. Car
shortage has lessened and shipments are
easier. There Is. however. still difficulty
experienced in getting raw material
From tho plano trado II Is noted there
has been II falling of in demand for parts
made of wood. Az low as GO per cent. do
crease is reported with expectation that
there will be- further diminution. Out
look for fall In this line of business is not
encouraging. but plants that have been
supplying this grade of material report
government orders for other CLASSES OF
goods sufficient to more than offset the
decrease In demand IN other lines.
Continued rainy weather Is beginning
TO show among crops In certain sections
re-planting has been found necessary. A
hulk of the crops, however are more
than two weeks ahead by season. Grass
has grown rapidly with body fllment moi
strong yet. The outlook promises a large
yield.

by electric storms but for the most par
they were not as serious as at first re-

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
Anti Saloon League Working for Nomi-
nation Of Those Who VIII support II

The Vermont ti-Saloon League.
through it's superintendent. the Rev.
C. H. Smith Of this city, is getting its
machinery into motion to have candi-
dates for the State Legislature who will
pledge themselves to support the imme-
diate ratification Of the national prohi-
bition amendment nominated at the pri-
maries on Tuesday. September g.
Especial care is to be given to the
candidates for nomination for State SEN
ators, for it Is probable that with the
Senate rather than with the House that
the fate Of the prohibition amendment
will rest. Sixteen senators against the
amendment will spell its defeat.
For the most part the counties on the
east side Of the State are considered
highly favorable to the amendment and
will support only such candidates as
pledge themselves to vote for 1t.
The western part OF the State Ia not
considered so solid and so county ratifl-
cation committees are being organized
for the purpose of securing the nomina-
ton and election Of the right senators
and representatives.
While tho Anti-Saloon League believes
that the State as whole will elect rep
resentatives and senator's favorable to
the amendment still 1t does not expect
a walk away" victory in the Legisla-
ture next January when that body con-
venes for Its biennial session.

LITTLE BUILDING NOW
Government Should He Well Satisfied
With Conditions In New England

Government Should He Well Satisfied
with Conditions In New England
There is practically no house building
in New England. according to the lumber
men on the lake front, and II It were not
for government orders. or orders due in
directly to the government orders, there
would be mighty little going on among
the mills engaged In the straight lumber
business. While in Burlington there is Just
one house of large dimensions being
erected, there are many cities larger than
Burlington where not a residence IL being
constructed. Notwithstanding the bust
ness. due to tho government. none Of the
mills in this city lie overcrowded with bust
ness. although all keep fairly busy with
the amount Of help ON hand.
In the plants Of the Horatio Hickok
company, Cranes and Booths large
amounts of boxes are made and there is a
big demand in the country for them. Even
in this there has been a falling of over
a while ago. and no longer are any night
shifts being worked on hurry-up orders
The Burlington concerns have, however
a steady clientele on which they can rely
for a market.
The desires of the government are that
there be as little new building as possible
and its wishes are being gratifisd. Outside
of the repairs being made by the Vermont
Milk Chocolate company to tho old build
ing of the ChAmplain Manufacturing
company there are only a few nails being
driven in the city. The application fol
licenses for garages and verandas are
! almost nil. whereas in ordinary years they
are being built all over the city. Most OF
the mechanics Of Burlington have gone
to work on government contracts, ane
that is what ia needed.
| Although what course will be pursued
! by the Chocolate company has not ye
been decided, 1t is probable that the plan
on lower Main street will be the scene o.
operations for quite while In maltnl
that building the scene Of business
activity. they are doing just what 10 bes
for the country al this time. 1t Is eviden
from the material which is going in Their
that the building will stand some heav!
work when the repairs are completed.
| The Importance of water navigation 4
the city is being manifested by the larg
amount of lumber which is coming in b.
boat. Where the numerous embargoes ar
tying up business in some localities, one
half the problem is solved for the lumbe
men who are getting practically all thei
raw material by water. They are ais
making some heavy shipments of good

CARROTS SUBSTITUTE FOR EGGS

Anything that can DO used a. . substi-
tute in these days Of high prices and
give good results at the same time IL
a welcome addition In helping to keep
down the high cost Of living. Boiled
carrots. according to the Popular Science
monthly. when properly treated, form an
excellent substitute for eggs In puddings.
The carrots are boiled until they are
tender and nearly ready to fall apart;
then carefully drained and mashed and
pressed through a coarse cloth or strain
or. This pulp Is then introduced amons
the other ingredients OF the pudding and
the eggs omitted. Puddings made In this
manner are equally az light and as pala'
table as where eggs are used. The car
| rots also impart a rich yellow color to
the pudding. so that no ons, can tell
whether eggs were used or not.
