one of the principal industries in Bel
lows Falls, making cream separators,
farm tools and sugaring implements, is
said to be owing well towards half a mil
lion dollars. 1t has been known as the
Vermont Farm Machine Co., but has just
been reincorporated.
A meeting of bank men was held in
Bellows Falls recently to consider steps
to be taken, at which some of the Brat
tleboro banks were represented. Plans
were set on foot for enabling the concern
to go on without a financial crash, and
it is expected that new issue of stock
of 81 100000 will be sold.
The concern did large business for
the government during the war, but when
the war ended and the contracts were
cancelled the company had a large claim
against the government, which has not
been paid 1t is understood that the
company claims around $250,000.
Suits aggregating $27 900, brought
through the office of Barber, Barber &
Miller OF this place, were mentioned yes
terday. The same firm has brought a
suit against the company for $4,000 il

ference with Mr.. Huber yesterday at

committee, DR.. Crosby said this morn
ing: 1--WE are going to recommend that
the Commercial club and the entire
community get back Of the PROPOSE
ton just as solidly and as ,energetical-
ly as possible. We have been wait
ing for this bridge for years. It has
been one of the big hopes of the fu-
ture. Now that we have a chance
to get it are we going to lay down ?
Not much. We are going to put our
part Of the campaign over. There is
no need for me to dwell on what the
building of the bridge means to Ken
newick. The benefits are so self-evi-
dent as to require no explanations
Every member Of our committee is
enthusiastically for it and every man
and woman in the community cannot
but be enthusiastically for it.
"There is no doubt in my mind but
that the bridge will prove paying
investment from the very start. There
is hardly a possibility Of loss. Ger
tainly our half of the $100,000 can be
raised without difficulty. We had nc
difficulty in raising much more thar
this amount for the purchase Of Lib.
erty bond. We did it not once, bu,
repeatedly. It's never going to be sale

FIGHT INSECTS NOW WITH THE
PLOW.

Fall blowing is the most universally
effective way of controlling the insect
pests that annually cause great losses to
the grain farmer. 1t is much easier and
cheaper. says the Bureau of Entomolo-
gy, United States Department of Agri-
culture. to prevent an insect outbreak in
this manner than it is to stamp out the
infestation once it is fully developed.
The FL essian fly. so destructive to wheat,
is one of the insects that can hardly be
eradicaued once it is established in the
crop. Fallplowing is recommended be-
cause it breaks up the soil and destroy
the grubs and pup2 of many insects by
exposing them to the sun and air.
Farmers Bulletin 1876 prepared by the
Bureau of Entomology, tells how to con-
troll the most common and dangerous of
the grain farmers insect enemies. 1t
gives briefly the life histories of the Hes

hoppers, white grubs, billbugs, corn root

of each pest and the best practical RENE

EXTRA SESSION OF THE WEST
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE MEETS
TO-DAY.

Governor John j. Cornwell called an
extra session of the West Virginia leg
islature to assemble at noon today. Sep
tender IA for the purpose of amending
the registration and election laws to-
permit women of the state to be leei y
registered and to facilitate their voting.
His tentative decision rot to call the
session, announced few days ago, the
governor said. was based upon his be-
lief that registrars would take the time
to ascertain the list of a citizens entitl-
ed to vote Including the women prior
TO the two DAYS on which they are to
meet publicly this fall to correct the lists
An entirely new light was placed up
on the situation by the opinion of the
attorney general, the governor said, as
expressed IN public address since then,
the attorney general having declared
| that under his conception of the law tae
women would have to appear personally
before the registrars on the two DAYS
they meet publicly. This, the govern
or said. would make it impossible for any
great number of women to be register
ed; and since the opinion of the attorn-
ey- general was binding until overruled
by The court, it made a session of the lie =
islature to change the law imperative.
The governor in letter to the attorn-
ey-general outlined his views upon the
stu ton:
Il have just read what purports to be
an address delivered by you before the
Kiwanis Club of this city in which you
expressed the opinion that it would be
necessary for the women of the state to
appear in person before the registrars
at the time they sit for the correction of
the registration lists, or in person before
the county court in order to be placed
on the registration lists.
In reply to my recent letter request
ing an official opinion from you, you did
not discuss that phase of the matter.
had assumed and believed that, where
the registrar had information as to the
right of any woman to register, she
would be registered by the registrars
whether she appeared in person or not.
Il had also believed that inasmuch as
the duty of ascertaining the voters and
putting them on the registration lists lies
with the registrar in the first instance,
that official might properly procure in.

The increase in the suicides of wom-
en- is ascribed to worry in trying to
make ends meet in these times of the
high cost of living. There is no doubt
that the present hour is one of great
nervous strain, partly reaction from
the war and partly the problems OF
living which it has brought about. The
great need is Of moral stimulation
to enable people to meet present con-
ditions and find a remedy for the most
oppressive of them, says Baltimore
American. The crusade against profit
eering, for example. could be pushed
more vigorously by strong public
opinion demanding its suppression or
control.
