According to records of the selec-

much physical superiority over those
of the cities. For purpose Of COM
parison selection was made of cities
of 10000 to 100000 population, and a
corresponding set of counties of the
same total size. In the physical ex-
aminations 28.47 per cent of the city
boys were rejected as against 27.96
per cent of the country boys. But
the country boy had just little the

In 1916 over 800 newspapers
ceased publication in North America,
a majority of them weeklies. In 1917
this number was increased to about
1900, and the end is not yet. The
absorption Of the Boston Journal by
the Boston Post, the sale of the Bos-
ton Advertiser to Hearst, who al
ready had Boston paper, the failure
Of the St. Johnsbury Caledonian,
weekly and daily, the raise in sub
scription price of more than a half
dozen Vermont papers on January 1,
all tend to show what adjustment is
going on in the newspaper business.

Church Unity Desirable.

The superintendent and secretar-
les of the Methodist, Baptist and
Congregational churches Of the state
held a meeting in Burlington Tues
day for the purpose of fixing a basis
for the support Of one strong PrOtes-
tant church in each small town in the
state This is in line with the policy
advocated in the Reformer for years.
We know Of towns of less than 1900
inhabitants which have supported
(?) four Protestant churches. The
result has been scattered and dupli-
Gated effort, weak, struggling insti-
buttons, which developed more in the
way of narrow prejudice and bigotry
than real religion. One strong, unit
ed church, working on simple prin-
ciples of Christianity, can be a power
of good for community uplift and in
fuence on the rising genera ton. You
will find it a universal rule in coun-
try life where the people are progress
sive and of high character that they
come under the influence of the
church. In this unity arrangement,
the three churches mentioned might
go a step farther and welcome all
Protestant organizations to work
with them.-Brattleboro Phoenix.
Why Papers Are Failing.
The failure to sell the Caledonian.
daily or weekly, to anyone during the
last month, is striking commentary
OF the state OF newspaper business at
the present time.
The old CALIFORNIAN was always a
paying paper.
1t was 80 years old and had the
best local news service in Vermont.
The daily had circulation OF over
5000.
Both were published in a live town,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Not man offered to buy, who had
money enough to carry on the bust
ness.
Why?
Because there is no money in the
business.
Official reports show that over 1900
papers in the United States and Can
ada went out of existence in 1917. Of
these 9Z5 were suspensions and $50
were consultations.
Whoever invests in newspaper
property now, does so in the hope
that when the war is over, business
will be better.
We do not believe there are five
newspapers in the state that are pay

Big Barn Fire Causes Comment.

The destruction by fire Of a large
barn, "the largest in Orleans county"
together with 80 head of cattle, five
horses, nine hogs, farming imple--
ments and heavy stocks is the second
misfortune of that nature to fall up
on little West Glover within a year,
the previous fire, last February, hav-
ing also consumed one of the best
that vicinity. The structure burned
Tuesday night measured some $50
feet in length, being in the form of a
main barn with annex at right an
giles; and it was up-to-date in many
particulars, including electric light
ing and electric attachment for sep
arating milk. The presence Of cleo
trio wires in the building opens the
way to the theory that the fire was
caused by defective wiring; but it
does not preclude some other theory
as to the cause of the outbreak of
fire. In any event the occurrence is
calculated to cause people to demand
safe methods of wiring when they
install electric lights or electric ap-
paratus in their barns, structures
which are the most likely to catch fire
in case Of defects in laying the wires.
