l251H ANNIVERSARY
OF CONSIDERATION
Commemorative Service at St.
Paul's Church, with Sermon
by Bishop Hall-Deplores
Fact That Only Few Vermont
b Young Men Seek Holy Orders

ct. Paul's Church was crowded at the
service held Sunday morning in COM
inemoration Of the 26th anniversary Of
the elevation to the episcopate of Bishop
A. C. A. Hall. the third bishop of YER
mont. The music for the service was
suited to the occasion, Bishop Hall choos-
ing the hymns, which were as follows:
"Rise. Crowned with Light" and I'VE
Love the Place, o Lord, Wherein Thy
Honor Dwells." The offertory hymn was
"How Lovely Are Thy Messengers" by
Mendelssohn, and during the communion
service, at which Bishop Hall was the
celebrant, assisted by Bishop G. Y. Bliss.
the Rev. G. w. Davenport and the Rev.
A. Z. Montgomery. the choir sang Gou-
mods est. Cecelia's Mass" AT recess
sional the choir sang the "Nunc d.
mittts."
In his sermon Bishop Hall spoke of
the people who were In the church when
he came here Is years ago and of how
they had gone and others had replaced
them. He referred to the changes that
had come about in the church, In the
congregation, of the different rectors St.
Paurs Church had had and Of the
changes in the services which had been
effected He spoke especially of how,
when the Rev. j. Isham Bliss was the
rector in charge, he had suggested having
communion every Sunday and Mr.. Bliss
had gladly taken up this custom. which
still prevails. This also was done in every
parish in the diocese so now many par
fishes which formerly had communion
only once a month, now have it every
Sunday.
! He also spoke Of the changes in the
times. deploring the fact that so few OF
Vermont's young men are now choosing
! the ministry as their profession.

manufacturers who have peen working
with night shifts have discontinued night
work. The manufacturers report a
lessening in demand but indicate the
surplus stocks on hand with users Is
small.
Open winter conditions have delayed
wood operations and made 1t difficult to
convoy timber to manufacturers or to
the mills. January this year has
witnessed a larger number of clearance
sales. These have been reasonably well
attended, The stocks in the hands of the
city merchants have thereby been worked
down to "a basis much better then has
been reported by the retail merchants.
Some returned soldiers have been in
evidence and found for the most part
positions. The number as far as this
State Is concerned has not been as large
as at some other points. With the
expected arrivals this month the avail
able number for positions IT is expected
will be materially increased.
Farmers report an increase In pro-
duction of milk and dairy production and
there has been a noticeable tendency to-
wards lower prices Collections continue
reasonably good. The month has been
free from mercantile failures in the
State, the first since April 1915.

ASTONISHING ILLITERACY IN THE
ARMY

The war revealed an extent of IL
literacy in America almost unbeliev-
able. Secretary of the Interior Lane
points out that there are 100000 men
of draft age in the United States who
cannot read or write in English or in
any other language. There are s.
5000 persons over ten years of age
who cannot read or write in any lam
guage. The regular army never en-
listed illiterates but the draft act
brought into the army approximately
35, 900 illiterates and as many more who
were almost illiterate These soldiers
could not sign their names. They
could not read the manual of arms.
They could not read their letters or
write home. They could not read their
daily orders posted on bulletin boards
in camp, They could not understand
signals in time of battle. The economic
loss through ililteracy is estimated at
$S25, 100000 a year, on the conservative
assumption that the productive labor
value of an illiterate is less by only
soc day than that of an educated
person. Ten per cent. of our country
folk cannot read or write a word. In
view of these facts, Secretary Lane
urges an appropriation for system
attic campaign to eradicate adult IL
literacy F. Logan, in Les

vice and to Appoint Com

Financial support to the extent of about
$500 was voted by the board Of aldermen
at their regular meeting Monday night to-
wards fitting welcome home to the Bur-
lington boys of the famous 26th division to
be given by the city and its patriotic citi-
zens about February %. Mayor j. Holmes
Jackson addressed the board on the mat
ter
Alderman Ladd made the following mo.
tion covering the financial end of the
welcome home, which was passed uuani-
mously:
THAT the mayor be authorized to use
portion Of the fund $500 providd in a
resolution adopted September 20, 1918, for
him to use in expressing the appreciation
OF the citizens to the soldiers on their
departure for war service, in expressing
In a public way the gratitude Of our peo-
/ pie on their victorious return to their
homes and that the mayor be authorized
to appoint committee from the citizens
TO make suitable preparations to welcome
the return of such soldiers"
A committee from the merchant plumb
ers of the city waited upon the aldermen
on behalf of their proposition to revise
the city charter with reference to a clause
! which calls for the appointment Of a
plumbing Inspector. Those who spoke
were Roy L. Patrick of the G. S. Blod-
gett company, II. C. Wheelock. w. n.
Buckley, F. S. Lanou and others The
business men contended that it was unfair
20 them to have man in the plumbing
business appointed an inspector Of plumb
! ing as he on his own behalf is in competi-
ton with the other plumbers of the city.
! The charter committee from the aldermen
! "a from
plumbing trade in the future on the prop
I ost.on of the revision of that clause.
After hearing a petition from the resi-
| dents of Buell. street and Hungerford ter
race, asking for a fire alarm box at the
corner of those two streets, the alder
men acted favorably upon the petition
and the box will be installed at once.
City Engineer T. w. Dix presented to
the board his survey of the proposition to
permanently pave the principal streets OF
the city which was requested several
weeks ago by the aldermen. The report,
which was an elaborate one. shows accu-
rately what kind of pavement is best for
each street, how much it would cost and
the number of years it should last The
report was accepted and placed on file for
future use. 1t is possible that the alder
men will order that a number Of the
streets be permanently paved each year
until the main business section Is SO cared
for.
President Luck was absent from the
meeting because of illness and alderman
Bergeron acted as chairman.
The bills ordered paid included the fol
lowing: Library department, s33949
water department, s19739.s3 fire depart
ment expenses. s43292; electric light de-
partment. s13,49sS4; charity, S1497.57.

BURLINGTON CENTER OF "FAYRLY
WELL SETTLED COMMUNITY"

(From the Paterson, N j., Chronicle.)
Furs have always had tremen-
dous fascination for women. Now they
are telling us of one coat for a society
woman costing $4,000. The girls must
even have fur in summer. The dumb
beast through some gift of evolution,
sheds his long hairs when the sun
climbs. The girl of the period, when
the thermometer ascends to the nine-
ties, still burles herself in furry stuff
built to shelter a shiverng beast ex-
posed to zero weather.
High prices prevailing in the fur
trade have stimulated trapping and
shooting all over the country. Bur-
lington, Vermont. the center of a
fairly well settled community, ships
$4,000 muskrat skins a year. In towns
the life of poor Kitty is no longer
safe.
The country boy is stirred to the
roots of his being by the predatory
| trapping instinct. Now it is further
whetted by high fur prices. He may
weep when his mother asks for n bas-
ket of wood. But he'll walk miles to
visit his empty traps.
