COTTON RAISERS LOSE
S30,0O0, 900 A YEAR BY
LEAVING BALES IN OPEN

Washington, Sept. 9.-Cotton raisers
are losing s9O00O,000 annually on an av-
erage from weather damage to bales of
cotton left in the open, the department
of agriculture declares in a statement.
Enough "pickings" to represent at least
$3.50 are lost from each bale exposed
to the weather and frequently the
losses are greater.
Southern farmers are urged by the de-
partment to store their cotton and stop
this waste Attention is called to the
warehouses, licensed and bonded under
the federal warehouse law, which the
department says furnish just receipts
good for cash at any bank-cheaper in
surance and better service. The depart
ment does not confine its recommenda-
tions to bonded warehouses. Use Of pri-
vate warehouses more generally would
do much to stop the big loss, it declares.

GET READY FOR
HIGHER TAX RATE
School Department Wants More
Money and City Will Be Called
on to Pay 100000 of States
Appropriations Due to the
War

That a higher tax rate is necessary
to the proper handling Of Burlington's
finances Is one of the principal argu-
ments being listened to by the COM
mittee appointed to make recommended
lions to the board of aldermen In re-
gard to the revision of the city charter.
which is hard at work this week and
probably will report to the board of
aldermen on or before Saturday night.
This will be about as late as the COM
mittee can report. as applications for
mitted to the Legislature soon.
NJ. u. C%hittenden and Gardner Brewer
already have been before the board
and presented their reasons for de-
string an Increase In the school ap-
preparation from IS to so cents on the
grand list. The claims presented by
them were hat such an Increase is
necessitated by the increased pay
which must be given teachers in order
to secure them.
c. L. Woodbury. argued for an In
crease from the present $500 to sails.
He said hat the city could not go
through IN the old tax. For one
thing. the proportion which Burling-
ton must pay to the State as her part
of the war tax is $4,000 and that is
only n item.
The committee consists of Mayor J..
Holmes jackson. Aldermen Caisse, Ber-
geron. Ladd and Luck. City Attorney
Peck also is present at the meetings.

EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
TO Be DISCONTINUED
of Congress to Provide
Appropriation Results in Clos
ing Doors of Local Labor Ex-
change - Skeleton Organiza-
ton Kept at Montpelier

The local government employment Of
fee on Main street will close its doors
Friday, John w. M~cGarghan. senior
examiner, having received instructions
from the Office of r. w. Simonds of
Montpelier, federal director. %instructing
him to. on that date. turn over the Of
Ace to the person from whom 1t was
leased. The closing of the office is in
common with many others throughout
the country and is due to the failure Of
Congress to pass the appropriation neces-
sary to their continuance.
Mr.. McGarghan's instructions are to the
effect hat the furniture shall he stored,
all bills itemized and sent in, and the
business of the office entirely wound I'D
on that date. Since it was opened on July
| of last year the office has been the
means of supplying thousands of needed
men and women and helped out the
productiveness of this section, as we'll as
some other sections, wonderfully during
the time that the nation was in need Of
almost everything in the line Of labor.
The busiest time reached during the
career of the office was in the fall, short
~ before and just after the armistice
was signed. Help was at a great permium
at that time and the production of some
important lines would have been greatly
curtailed without the assistance the Of
hce furnished. The total number of EN-
ployes placed has not been compiled but
there are few IL any offices with a better
record In the country, according to the
men In a position to know. The loss of
the office will be a blow not only to
those seeking employment but to the
manufacturer as we'll, for they have
been educated up to the value of such an
exchange and were using it extensively.
The system, which was built up with
such rapidity. was going in exceedingly
good shape at the time the lack of funds
caused its discontinuance. Men were
being sent all over the country where
they were needed and while there was no
employment here. Recently the bureau
has been helping out the farmers to a
considerable extent and there are now on
the books many applications both for
help and for positions. These will be
turned over to the office in Montpelier,
along with the other records.
Mr.. McGarghan and Miss Agnes Leary,
the Junior examiner, had both obtained
an excellent grasp on the work and in
the notice which was sent them by Mr..
Simonds. the hope was expressed that
the office was only temporarily discon-
tinued and that they should regard their
position as merely one of a furlough
without pay as he appreciated the man
ner in whcih they had handle the affairs
Of the office and wanted them back il
such a thing should become possible.
The skeleton organization which the
government will maintain in Vermont
will probably consist of only one main
office in Montpelier. s. P. Hamilton, the
Inspector. will probably remain in the
service and will make trips about the
State as formerly. looking after condi-
tons and doing the best he can with
the means at hand to help out labor
conditions.

Examiners Mt Local Employment Bu-

b problem. John W.. McGarghan,
senior examiner. and Miss Agnes Leary,
junior examiner, at the local United
to donate their services free of charge for
another month in case the use of an Of
nee can be rendered them. The office
here, as elsewhere, was abolished by the
government not because it was not
efficient but because of the lack Of funds
occasioned by the curtailment in the an
preparation. This is a critical time when
help is needed badly by some and posi-
tons are needed badly by others and
there Is much which could be done In the
next -FOUR weeks IL there were a place
In which to do 1t. The furniture is ready
and the government cannot ever pay for
the telephone but the people in the sery-
ice volunteer to do that as we'll as defray
o'her small expenses. They will pay their
own expenses while they are working
and are doing it from purely patriotic
reasons in order to help out conditions.
Some other employees in the department
over the country la lone the same
thing which demonstrates the spirit which
prevails in the organization. The securing
OF help Is to be quite a factor in the sue
cess or the spring planting which will be
