Slab of Granite Weighs AZ Tons.

A slab of Barre granite weighing
AZ tons and said to be the biggest
stone of it's kind ever taken from the
Barre quarries has been taken to the
Park Lawn cemetery at Bennington.
The slab is 38 feet long and less than
20 inches thick and it's quarry consti-
tuted a record in the Washington
county granite belt. Heavier pieces
of granite have been taken from the
quarries and shipped to their destina-
ton, but they have been in the shape
of blocks and the transportation prob
lens were not nearly so great. Gran
tie is more brittle than marble and a
slab less than two feet in thickness
would break of it's own weight unless
handled with extreme care. The big
slab constitutes one Of the roof stones
of the mausoleum being built for Ed
ward H. Everett at the Park Lawn
cemetery. 1t is being hauled to it's
final destination on a trailer which it.
self weighs ten tons thus making the
combined load 81 tons. A big auto
truck with tackle and windlass con-
stitute the motive power. Before the
trip could be undertaken it was neces-
sary to temporarily strengthen the
School street bridge at Bennington.

VERMONT NOTES.

One hundred and fifteen Vermont
farmers have been granted loans by
the Federal Land Bank of Springfield,
Mass, for the purpose of increasing
the efficiency Of their loans. The to-
tai amount of money now in loans in
Vermont is $4OO,455. Two hundred
and eleven more Vermont farmers
have made application for loans.
The Central Governing Board of
the Volunteer Medical Service Corps
of the Council of National Defence
announces that the Vermont State
Executive Committee of the Volun-
teer Medical Service Corps is headed
by J. 3. Wheeler, M. D., chairman, of
Burlington, and that G. 1. Forbes, M.
D., also of Burlington, is secretary.
George H. Soule & Co. is erecting a
large factory adjoining the Central
Vermont railroad tracks in St. AL
bans, where it will manufacture mod
ern sugar making utensils and will
make and deal in Vermont maple sug-
ar and syrup. The new company sue
ceeds the Leader Evaporation COM

Mr.. and Mrs. James Lawliss of
Montpelier are considered to have the

The state food administrator has
received from the Boston office of the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea company a
check for $500 which will be paid to
the Red Cross of Franklin county.
This payment is the result of a penal
ty imposed in the case against the
store of that company in st. Adams
in which the manager did not follow
the sugar regulations. There also
were complaints as to stores of the
company in other towns in Vermont.
The open sugar bowl has gone from
public eating places in Vermont: Ho-
tells, restaurants and dining cars are
cooperating in every possible way
with the food administrator to save
sugar. Just how this shall be done is
a matter of patriotic initiative on the
part of the managers. By an agree
ment among themselves all dining
cars are now serving but one tea
spoonful of graduated sugar or two
half Jumps per person, and this must
be made to cover all the sweetening
needs of the meal.

Vermont Has Lost $3.50 of It's Labor

r. w. Simonds, federal industrial
commissioner, has just completed an
accurate survey Of labor in Vermont
and makes the statement that the
state has lost 800 of her labor. This
loss applies to women as well as men
and shows the difficulty that confronts
the work Of the state industrial COM
missioner.
Burlington and vicinity has Jared
well on account Of the highly paid in
dustries here such as the American
Wooden companys mills at Winooski.
The Vermont Marble company has
lost 1900 Of its employees and at one
time employed twice that number.
The granite industry in Barre has
suffered severely, about half the num-
Der of employees having gone.
Slate qUarrying has also lost heavi-
Iy in help but farming has been the
hardest hit Of all. Women have left
the state in large numbers to take
positions in Washington and other
large cities. More than 10000 men
have gone into the military and naval
service.
