Missing, Returns to Duty.

ST. Adams, Jan. 1S.-The casu-
atty lists contain the name of John
Oselga as having been previously re-
ported missing but now returned to
duty. Private Oselga s guardian while
he was overseas was William Gillespie.
The latter received cablegram some
time last month stating that the young
man had been gassed and confined to
hospital away from his company but
that he had returned TO it Dec. 10.
Private Oseiga came to this city about
five years ago from Russia. While
here he was employed as carpenter in
the Central Vermont shops. Being un
| able to speak English he attended
classes at the Stranahan Memoria
club and applied himself industriously
to learning the language.

MORE cows IN 1917.
Vermont Herds Showed Increase Over
Previous Year.

BURLINGTON. Jan. 1S.-Hon. T.. $.
Brigham. state commissioner of agri-
culture has collected some interesting
data in regard to the dairy industry
of Vermont in 1917. In 1916. it was
estimated that the total value Of the
dairy products exceeded SlS.000.0Oo.
In 1917 it developed that this figure
had been increased to S22000,000. Con-
trary to the common belief. it was
found that there were 236119 milci
cows on April |. 1917 and 90. i52 on
April i. 1918, an increase of - per
cent. The average production OF milk
and butterfat per cow was lower in
1917 than in 1916. Tile reason there
for may be attributed to the scarcity
of help high costs of feeds. coupled
with difficult transportation and sever

than made up for the lesser production.

New Economy in Spelling.

Just to show what may be accom-
plished with his new system of the al
phabet and economy in spelling, Pro
fessor Joseph V. Collins re-writes the
Twenty third Psalm in this form:
"The Lord IL my shepurd; Y shall
not wwnt. He maceth me ty ly doun in
gren pastyvrs; He ledeth me besyd the
still wqtnrs. He restoreth my sol: He
Fledeth me in the pathz ov rytyusnes for

ovur. Shvrli gudnes and mursi shal
folio me, WI the daz ov my lyf, and Y
vii dwell in the hours of the Lord for

Reduced to figures, the Collin :
method is said to eliminate approx
mately 10 per cent of the number OF
letters used in our present forms OF
spelling, and in the ease of the
Twenty,third Psalm the saving is los

Clutch at vladivestok.

A London firm has stated that il has
