FACTS OF DEADLOCK.
Paris, April 23.-The facts Of

President Wilson proposed that

A RURAL PROBLEM FOR VERMONT

A RURAL PROBLEM FOR VERMONT.
The town of Somerset in Windham
county offers a serious problem to the
state of Vermont, the more serious be-
cause it typifes the small Hill town in
Vermont. At the last census Somerset
had population of n scattered over an
area of 1885 acres That was nine
years ago Since then there has been a
marked decline, if such a thing as
marked were possible in a town of only
81 people at the outset. There is now
but single family located in the entire
town of Somerset and with but one vot
ing male, if the report from there be cor
rect, since the great pooh bah, +. ".
johnson, left the town for New York.
This Mr. johnson, at the election in
1918, was chosen for nine Of the offices of
the town and, so far as known, acquitted
himself well under the tremendous bur
den of serving as clerk and treasurer, Sc
lectman, lister, road commissioner, school
director, agent, overseer, justice of the
peace and health officer. Mr. now Mr..
johnson has gone away, leaving Burt
Leonard to carry the load of masculine
responsibility in the 1886 acres of Som
erset.
What is to become Of Somersetf is
pertinent question at the present time.
1t might, perhaps, be made the manda-
tory of some other town were willing
town to be found TO accept the job; but
strong towns in the immediate vicinity
of Somerset are not to be found. On
the northern border is Stratton itself
weak town of SO people at the 1910 cen
sus and probably far fewer at the pres
emit time, while on the southern border
is Searsburg, which is but little better,
with a 1910 population of l42 souls and
staggering under a heavy tax rate and
with grand list not so large as that Of
Somerset There is Wilmington, whose
northwest corner just touches the Somer-
set line, which is fairly sizeable town
as Vermont towns go; but Wilmington
has not the capacity or the desire, in all
probability, to take over the mandatory
of its dying neghbor. 1t looks, there
fore, as if the state OF Vermont was
about to have another burden saddled
upon it, the burden of carrying on the
needful business of considerable area
of territory, such as making all repairs
to roads and bridges and the countless
details Of public requirements in desert
ed land.

Motor Transport in Vermont.

Plans are being made to start motor
express route from Burlington to Rut-
land, and such a route is said to be con-
templated between Burlington and New.
port. Wholesale concerns in Burlington
find shipments to eastern Vermont so
slow and uncertain, that established
freight routes of this nature would mean
a more fertile field for them in this part
of the state. Much business to-day is
being done, even in this part of YER
mont, where motor transportation is
practical only about six months of the
year, and the field promises to develop
very much more than at present While
motor trucks to-day are the vehicles
which damage our roads to a greater ex-
tent than any other, it is not a ques-
tion Of holding back sucn developments
but a question of making our highways
efficient and safe for motor transporta-
ton of increased quantity. Business by
motor is bound to increase and we must
make plans for It.Barton Monitor.

important factors to be considered"

The city Of Rutland is going to try
out, under the new system of district

health officer who is located % miles
away from Rutland. The result of the
experiment will be watched with inter-
est by the people of Barre, who are al
ready chatting under the system of limit
ed supervision incident to the assign
ment of district health officer to 80
cities and towns, including both Barre
and Montpelier, the physician residing in
Montpelier II the plan of district health
officer supervision is to work out salts
factorily it win be necessary for the
state department of health to divide the
state into districts of smaller size and
increase the number of state-paid health
officers accordingly. There is no dissat-
isfaction over the appointee for this dis
trict but there is over the size of the dis
trict. 1t is unfair to say to the cities
and large towns that if they desire their
own health officer supervision they can
pay for it while at the same time they
are asked to pay the salaries of the dis
trict health officers. If the cities engage
health officers of their own and pay for
those services they should be exempted
