CURRENT COMMENT
Publicity De Luxe.

Again is the fame of Vermont ex-
plotted by the publicity department of
the office of the secretary Of state in the
form Of a high class brochure, "The
Green Mountains of Vermont" issued
under the direction of Secretary of State
Harry A. Black.
The book, which contains rs pages,
is direct and convincing appeal to the
tourist, the vacationist, the autoist, the
mountain climber, the lover of the out
doors. 1t contains series of illustra-
tions which arouse within the soul of
the city-atiated individual a yearning
to seek the open, the land where the
mountain peaks rise little higher"
where one may forget the CRIME Of the
town and city, where recreation unal-
Logged may be had
The text Of the brochure gives more
than hint of what awaits the vaca
ZIONIST, the seeker of repose 1t hints
to the stranger Of the possibilities in
the way of permanent summer homes
within the Eden of northern New Eng
land. The book tells exactly what the
lover of landscape, the lover of noun
tains seeks. 1t is the sort of literature
which Vermont has won reputation for
putting out. 1t is in harmony with 9th
er issues of the publicity department
of the secretary of states office and
Secretary Black is to be complimented
on the literary production and upon the
Typographical finish of the latest CON
tribution to the publicity of the state.

all forces that brought the war to its
final victory. He spoke of the splendid

to be back in Barre, to see many old
friends and to find that Spaulding was
still doing things that were up to her
usual high standard. Superintendent
White told of the success of certain

the superintendency of the Chicago
school, by saying good word for all
the other candidates. He suggested that
the seniors and alumni take that as an
example of treatment for the people

they were awarded, first TO Ralph

all lines during the course at Spaulding,
was given to 0reste Gianni, who, al
though he had started in at top notch
enthusiastically, had shown such loyalty
and good spirit throughout his course
that the other matter was waived Mr..
Hunt made plea for good scholarship

to lead in the pace that had already been
set for her.

THE BUSINESS PROPOSITION BE.
FORE BARRE AND VICINITY.

A proposition for new industry is
before the people of Barre and vicinity
and, frankly stated, it is now up to the
people of Barre, and vicinity to say
whether the industry shall come to
Barre. The company proposing to con
duct branch factory here is well
established concern manufacturing mems
underwear of the higher grades and EN-
ploying approximately 200 women and
men in its plant at Mattapan, Mass. In
proposing to locate branch factory in
Barre, the company is said to be Actual
ed by desire to get near an abundant
supply of women employees and it was
thought that Barre, having only com
paratively slight industrial development
in which women are employed, would be
a good field for operating the manufae-
ing plant. So far as the committee of
the local Board of Trade has been able
to learn, the Peerless Knitting Mills com.
pany has a good financial rating in the
Boston banking district and is considered
highly in other ways, while the financial
statement secured by the local commit
Tee makes favorable showing
. OF course, no move to involve invest
ment of Barre money in the proposition
would be made until a more minute ex !.
animation of the inner details of the
company had been carried out; but the
Barre committee, which has made the
preliminary examination, feels that the
company is well.conducted concern, has

was said in relation to that objection
that it probably would take four times
the amount of the stated value Of the
present good will for new factory to
start in Barre and get an equal footing
with the public.
The size of the bills receivable in the
financial statement--approximately $780,
000-was also the subject of inquiry;
and it was said that the financial state
ment was made at time when the bust
ness had been slack because of weather
conditions and that there had then come
rush of orders.
What Peerless Company Produces.
The goods turned out by the Peerless
company are high grades of mems I'M
derwear which are sold in at least one
Barre store. Samples Of the underwear
were displayed at the meeting last night
and elected favorable comment because
OF the apparent sfinish" IF the work.
The company also manufactures under
wear of the athletic variety somewhat
like the B. V. d. pattern
The company is at present getting
much of its raw material from New
Hampshire and points in New York; and
it was asserted by members of the com
pany that the freight rates from those
points would be only little more to
Barre than to Mattapan A location off
the main line Of the railroad was not
considered handicap; indeed, the ma
ture Of the business was such that the
officers considered it might be better if
conditions incident to railroading were
not present. Besides that, the cost of
carriage was not considered handicap
if clean surroundings could be secured
in return.
If the business should be brought to
Barre IL would mean the employment of
about 40 people at the outset and grad
ual increase until a working force of 200
could be secured. 1t was considered that
the introduction of this industry would
not have depressing effect on the shirt
factory on Church street as far as the
labor supply was concerned. II was
stated by Harry Daniels, who, by the
way, spent two, days with the Barre com
mittee in Boston and Mattapan and who
was not present last night because called
TO New York, that the proposed new
factory would have Il good effect on the
labor supply at the wooden mill in North
Montpelier Graniteville and Webster.
vile men who were present at The meet
ing last night, expressed the opinion that
the proposed factory would be a good
thing in furnishing work for the girls
and young women who have no such en-
ployment in the quarry districts and who
are leaving for other places for that rea-
son
So the meeting adjourned shortly after
10 o'clock with the proposition to call a
city meeting at an early date. when
more facts in relation to the negotiations
will be presented

vermont's Highways.

Vermont will generally be pleased with
the hearty commentator of three well
known Burlington business men of the
roads in Vermont. While improvements
are desirable and necessary in many sec
tions il remains fact that great in
Justice has been done the state in the
thoughtless condemnation of all its
roads. The road agitators apparently
have been following the line of least re-
sistance and simply grumbled. They
have ignored conditions and INDUCED in
unreasonable criticism
These Burlington men did not ignore
the faults of Vermont roads, they stated
the most serious ones were in the viii
lagos and cities or in the approaches
TO the larger towns of the state. 1t will
generally be admitted they are correct
in this statement Possibly an improper
system of construction is responsible for
this condition Too many villages and
cities have attempted to build perma-
nent roads with very perishsble mate
rial and they now have large debts and
the poorest roads But it should be pos
sible for these larger places to construct
good and durable roads. 1t is not i'm
possible that good foundations with a
coating Of good gravel properly oiled
through the dry season would prove more
durable and cheaper than crushed stone.
It is an experiment that might be safely
tried on short section of highway bear
ing heavy traffic.
Frost penetrates so deeply in Yer
mont that solid surface roads are very
hard to maintain. The state cannot rea-
sonably expect to construct such high
ways and must endure unsettled roads
for about month in the spring. But
for the rest of the season il has good
smooth and comfortable riding. roads on
it's main thoroughfares; and 1t would
be well II the grumblers would adyer-
tise this fact rather than their grouches.

Regardless Of the position which one
may take on the question Of granting
the suffrage to women by federal consti-
tutional amendment, there will be strong
sentiment in Vermont upholding Gov
ernor Clement in his determination not
to call special session Of the Vermont
Legislature to pass upon the matter. Few
states whose legislatures are not in SEES
sion at the present time will go to the
expense Of calling a special session of
their assemblies. Perhaps none will, be-
cause it is realized that no particular
need arises for going outside of the reg
ular routine in the several states.

The Test Of the Hail
Insurance Law
CONTINUED from page 81

Continued from page 81
however, are rare. In the field force
of the department there are employees
who have been associated with hail
insurance corporations in the past.
They declare that there are immeas-
urably fewer complaints against the
settlements reached by the state as
compared to those of the private COM
panies.
By far the greatest number of
complaints against the state in
surance plan is that the farmer
legislators did not make it COM
pulsory. These complaints, heard
most by the adjusters in the field,
come from farmers who listened
largely to the baseless attacks of
anti-farmer business men and
politicians and withdrew from the
provisions of the act.
One Of the greatest boosters of
state hail insurance today with a COM
pulsory clause is a farmer who with
drew, failed to insure in private
company, and though he would have
recovered more than $4,000 on the
loss of his crop when it was hit by
hail, will get nothing. His neighbor,
however, with farm not nearly so
big, did not withdraw, and today he
will get about $4,000 for total loss
by hail.
The demand for compulsory insur-
ance comes largely from these men
who acted against their own best in
terests by withdrawing. While there
always has been some considerable
sentiment among the legislators for
making hail insurance compulsory, it
is not likely that such action will be
taken. It is not considered necessary,
according to the views of the legisla-
tors who visit the capital, because the
success of the first year and it's lesson
will induce many a farmer to think
twice before he goes to the courthouse
next year and withdraws from the
state act.
