The delegates TO the Montpelier
meeting who went by automobile,
found the poorest roads in cities and
villages. Outside, the roads were bet
ter, but the greater part Of them are
not comfortable to ride over in light
car. Where road machines are used
regularly the roads are quite smooth.
but this work is done expensively by
teams. A truck drawing road ma
chine can do the work Of six horses
easily and could probably do the work
of four or five horse-drawn road ma
chimes on the long level stretches OF
road up the State. The towns ought
TO be among the first to use trucks for
road work, but they stick TO teams
mostly. No business concern could nj
ford to do il IL they had the same
amount Of work to do.

ODD FELLOWS WILL HELP
Thrift and War Savings Societies Be
ing Organized Among the Fraternai
Orders Of the State.

Waterbury, July 10 - Fraternal
orders throughout the State have
been asked TO help in the War Saw
ings work and already Mrs. d. e,
Jones, the State manager, has receiv-
ed letters from heads Of several Of the
societies telling Of their interest in the
plan and assuring Mrs. Jones Of their
willingness to cooperate in every
way possible.
In this connection II will be Of spec
ial interest that Thrift clubs and War
Savings Societies are now being or
ganized in lodges of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows throughout the
country for the purpose Of pushing the
sale of Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This action comes as a result OF 2
joint session of the Grand Lodge and
Rebekah Assembly Of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows Of Missouri
held recently in st. Louis.
This meeting also decided to invest
certain amounts Of the lodge funds 10
War Savings Stamps. The national
thrift campaign which is now being
conducted by the Savings Division Of
the Treasury Department was heartily
endorsed. The organization Of the
Thrift and Savings Stamp clubs has
been placed under the supervision Of
Ben Weidle, the grand secretary.
Speaking Of the value Of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps, Grand Secretary
Weidle said that the habit Of saving
and intelligent thrift, so often neg
lected among our people, can in no
other way be so well cultivated. He
further recommended these stamps to
subordinate lodges and asked that the
Grand Lodge give the matter careful
consideration in the investment OF
lodge funds.

duction OF the Audible Ringing
Tone" Hereafter when subscriber
In the Manchester exchange makes "a
call buzring tone will be heard,
which is proof that the line Is being
rung. The subscriber will not hear
the actual ringing Of the bell. which
may be miles away from his own tel
ephone. but he will get an induction
sound which Is created by an ingen-
ious device which has as yet been in
stalled in but few exchanges outside
Of the larger cities.
II the person called does not answer,
the buzzing tone is repeated as subse-
auent rings are made. This assures
the person calling that his call is re-
ceiying attention.
The new switchboard is large
enough for six operators to work at
the same time. There are two toll
positions and four local positions, and
the board is designed to take care Of
the telephone growth in Manchester
for several years.
In 1908 there were only 168 tele-
phones connected with the Manchester
exchange; now there are over 43O tel
ephones connected.
On the first floor Of the new ex-
change building are located the oper-
ating groom, terminal room, restroom
for the operators, and public office,
with two public telephones.
In the basement are the battery
room, cable vault, storage vault, and
the heating apparatus. This new
building is modern in every respect.

KURN HATTIN HOMES
IN NEED OF FUNDS
Drive for $4,000 is Being Made to
Clear Deficit Which Accrued During


Drive for $4,000 is Being Made to
Clear Deficit Which Accrued During
War Years.
The New England Kurn Hattin
Homes for homeless boys, located at
Westminster and Saxtons River, VT,
have changed their form Of manage
ment.
Since the disastrous fire OF February
1908 which utterly destroyed the main
building and contents at Westminster
the Office of the Homes has been at
Bellows Falls, VT. This was taken
back to the administration building at
Westminster last March.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles MacQueeney
who for eight years have been super
intendent and matron went away at
that time and Mr.. A. G. Frazier came
as general superintendent. He is not
a stranger to the work as he and Mrs.
Frazier, several years ago were super
intendent and matron of the branch OF
Kurn Hattin at Saxtons River for two
years. He resigned this position to
take q years training at Columbia
College in social work. After that he
was employed at the home for Little
Wanderers in Boston until his return
to kurn Hattin. He is known as gem
eral superintendent of the Homes ad
has supervision of all the work.
There are 107 boys in the Homes
one of whom is from Manchester.
The Journal printed last February
an appeal TO people to contribute
toward a fund of $4,000 that Kurn
Hattin was trying to raise to clear the
deficit accrued during the war years
and to leave small working balance
in the treasury to tide the Homes over
until prices became normal.
The figures up to the 2lst ult. show
that sl0,049.20 in cash and s6,405.00 in
pledges have been received toward the
amount asked for, leaving balance
Of $S,545.90 to be secured
The Homes are in great need Of a
new ice-house, dining room chairs and
dishes.
Kurn Hattin is doing farming IN a
very up-to-date fashion. She has 40
acres planted, 20 Of which are corn.
She has 43 head Of cattle and is max
ing over 100 pounds Of butter per
week.
The barns and dairy are very made
quate to meet the needs resulting from
this more intensive farming and ex-
tensiye dairying; so new equipment
along these lines is needed.
kurn Hattin had big part in the
recent war, having rs Of her graduates
in the service. She had boys overseas
in ambulane, aviation and radio work,
also boys in the navy and home camps.
kurn Hattin Homes are in dead
earnest in their business Of making
self supporting and self-respecting
out Of poor, unfortunate boys for
whom society has no place. She has
demonstrated her ability to do this
and earnestly asks for the financial
cooperation Of the people TO do q
larger work

HISTORICAL PLAY
MAY he REPEATED

The people OF the North District in
Arlington who, four years ago, so sue
cessfully enacted their great-grand-
fathers on the local stage, are begin
ming to consider giving their little
historical play again this summer,
both in Arlington and Manchester to
help on the best Of good causes, the
school. The district school tnear the
Baker bridget which was SO trans
formed for the better by the money
earned by the play when il was given
first. has had ever since an increased
and constantly increasing attendance;
to such an extent indeed as to tax to
the uttermost both its foor-space and
cubic feet Of air, and the strength and
time of its devoted teacher. There
was already in the school last year
number of small children who could
not receive as much time and care as
they needed from the teacher, single
handed as she was and occupied with
the older ones. Next autumn, still
more small children will be Of school
age, and will come to the school for
the first time. II they are to have
the training and attention they need
(and the first year Of school is SO
vitality important in = child's life) and
the older children are not to suffer BY
this, there is an imperative need for
another teacher and another room.
Here the little ones, 70 soon to be cit
izens, can have the freedom they need,
the manual hand-work, the constant
attention of a specially trained teach
er, etc., without Disturbing the older
children at their study.
Mr.. ]. A. Garfield has offered large
vacant room in his farmhouse for the
new school room; the ingenious, handy
men of the district will be able easily
to make the simple school equipment
needed: low tables, little benches, etc.
Someone else has offered to supply
free, the wood needed for heating;
everything can be managed by volun-
tary effort except the salary OF the
teacher which is no small considera-
ton in these days! t
But North District people have an
intelligent understanding of the great
Importance of good schools (Which
some people in larger places might inn
itate to their advantage) and are seri-
ously considering the big undertaking
Of giving once more their historical
community play which was SO we'll re-
ceived. North District women are go
ing up into their attics to look over
the quaint belongings handed down
from eighteenth century ancestors and
irving on paniered skirts which so
entertainingly disguised their twenti-
eth-century selves, four years ago;
and North District men are wonder
ing, in the midst. of their haying,
where the tie-back wig was put, which
made them look like old portraits Of
their grandfathers.
1t is a large order for everybody to
stop work, right in the busiest season
of the farmers year, but America de-
pends on goods schools so the North
Districts is bestirring itself!

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN AIR

MY age presses on me with unceasing
As | long for breath Of the Green

It's the home Of my boyhood, it's there

Where the pine, spruce and hemlock,
the evergreens grow;
The ash, oaks and naples, they are all
there,
And they flourish right well in the
Green Mountain air.
Il matters but little we've often been
Where our bodies are laid when our
hearts become cold.
Life's end might be pleasant, death
easy to bear
When one breathes his last in the
Green Mountain air.
Thus l long for home in the land OF
my birth,
There's no place more lovely through
out the broad earth.
The men are so grand and the women
so fair,
For do they not breathe the Greer
Mountain air.
For my home in the mountains Ian

There's no place SO fair in the "lanc
Of the Vine.8
Indeed there's no place on earth Y
compare
With the spot where they breathe the
Green Mountain air.
If once more | reach my Green Noun

No more to wander and no more te

If kind friends inquire Of me how

I'll answer I'm breathing the Greer

Then farewell to fortune, let riches

Things pail on the sense that seem fail

You'll find nothing more healthfu

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The final meeting Of the Patrol
Committee which was held at Mont
pelier on July 10th, was for the pur-
pose of winding up the affairs Of the
organization. Sixteen men, including
representatives of many Boards OF
Trade, were present and there was no
criticism Of the management Of the
campaign. Through the failure of
some towns to contribute their quotas
of money, the American City Bureau
will be loser financially. This con-
cern paid expenses of their men in
this State, having faith that Vermont
would appreciate their work and pay
the bill The prevalence of influenza
and the difficulty Of getting about the
State in winter made it necessary to
neglect somewhat the financial end Of
the business with the result that the
loss will be born by men outside the
State who were freely charged with
doing the work for profit.
