Inventors, Attention!

In the August issue of Monumental
News an editorial under the heading
Encourage the inventor" called at
tention TO the urgent need for the de-
velopment of new machinery for gran
tie and marble working, and it IS en-
couraging to note that the Information
al Monument Granite Producers as
ISOLATION has taken an important step
toward this end by voting TO create a
speeial fund OF $4,000 for the purpose
OF stimulating research and invention
in the development Of new machinery
for granite working. This is one OF the
most progressive and promising lines
of work ever attempted and 1t is to be
hoped that this fund VIII soon assume
sufficient proportions for the actual
work to begin. More production Is to-
day the greatest need in the monu-
mental field, and with the shortage OF
labor each year becoming more acute,
the needs OF the future must IN large
measure be met by more efficient pro-
duction. which virtually means i'm
proved machinery. The association
with this new fund offers unsual OPP
portunitv to inventors and others hav-
ing ideas regarding mechanical appil-
anees which might be used to advan-
tage in the granite industry. The as
sociations of building and paving stone
men are expected TO join in the move
ment
The monument industry has grown
wonderfully in the past few years and
the principal aim Of the association
now is increased production. This can
be accomplished, the producers believe,
bv the aid of labor-saving devices and
also by the sterilization of the labor
situation in the industry.
The generous increase in the wages
for apprentices recently made by the
Barre manufacturers i another pro
Qressive move to alleviate the labor
shortage of the future.

Ludendorf and Hindenburg strut
through the streets of Berlin with the

still the only altar at which millions
of the Huns worship. They want no re-

establishment Of the kaiser or his sub

Hohenzollern chief shall sit in the seat
Of his fathers and organize anew an
other thrust at civilization.
God gave the universal enemy into
our hands, but we signed away the
triumph.
OF all the colossal blunders recorded
in history the granting of the armi-
stice was the most colossal. Instead
of observing Nov. II as an interna-
tional holiday Of Thanksgiving, civili-
zation is more than likely to look back
to it arrayed in sackeloth and ashes.

about 80 men at the outset, but ex-

thority that a party Of solid business
men waited on Hugh J. NJ. Jones to see
If he,would enter the race for the gov
ernorship Our informant says that he
would if there was call for him, and
they really thought they wanted him.
Mr.. Jones would be the ideal business
mans candidate He has demonstrated
that he knows how, and certainly gave
the fuel administration good Judgment.
He has built up a splendid business in
the granite industry, where he is rec
ognized as man of great executive
ability. Perhaps lthis may be the man
the boys are looking for. As one OF the
leading men in the biggest business in
dustry in Vermont he certainly has
those qualities that 60 to make real
governors. Those who are not acquaint.
ed personally with him have heard OF
him. His personal popularity would en-
ter largely into a following, If there

In casting about for a competent

have secured one who combined the
advantages of general experience in
railroading with knowledge of the local

Boston & Maine system. Mr. Waters
has been in more or~less close touch
with the Barre granite industry for a
long period of years, while his acquain-
tnnce with railroading has, as stated in

to be hoped that these concerns will
not follow out the policy of getting out
Of the state all they can and leaving as
little as possible; in other words, that
something besides the mere amount
paid for Vermont labor and materials
will be left inside the state. Presum-
Iably these concerns have come into
Vermont primarily because OF the near
ness of their chosen localities to the
raw materials which are needed in their
operations, and, perhaps, because OF the
ability to get labor. These they can
get. 1t would be somewhat reciprocal
| if the concerns should cooperate to
build up the localities in which they
are to have their headquarters and TO
cooperate in the advancement of the
states interests by doing share Of
their banking in Vermont. In short,
Vermont would like to have them for
permanent residents rather than as
concerns which stay for brief intervals.
Permanently of Investment and grow
ing stability of business are phases OF
industrial and commercial life which
Vermont is striving for at the present
time. A good proportion of the cor
porations which have been formed inv
side Vermont during the past few years
have been more along stable lines than
usual; there have been fewer OF the
paper corporations built up largely on
visions and dependent upon the amount
of capital which could be attracted by
such visions Those who have attached
their names TO the great majority OF
the corporation papers are persons who
are in earnest and who have the energy
and the capital to back up their pro-
iects. They plan to become fixtures OF
the states industrial and commercial
life. Therefore, the people of the state
have natural desire that the out of

business should likewise become fix

FlLCHING vERMoNT'S TERRI
TORY!

As ii not content with claiming the
west bank of the Connecticut river as
the New Hampshire boundary line, one
OF the officials of that state seems to
be bent on annexing mere Vermont
territory. At least he is claiming iuris-
diction over an area in the vicinity of
Brattleboro which has always been YER
mont territory but which became in
undated by reason of the setting back
of the water of the Connecticut river
after the building of the Vernon dam.
The territory Is the so-called Hunt
meadow, which was clearly on the Yer
mont side of the interstate boundary
line prior to the building of the dam
because the eastern line of the meadow
was the west bank of the river That
boundary has been fixed for more than
century. Now comes the construction
OF dam which causes the water to set
back on this meadow; and, in conse-
quence, New Hampshire game warden
claims jurisdiction over the ice fishing
on the Hunt meadow, in effect thereby
annexing the Hunt meadow TO New
Hampshire But the New Hampshire
warden ran up against snag imme-
diately in the person of Game Warden
Z. II. Metealf OF Windham county, who,
in his characteristic manner of speech
barre people recall him as a former
newspaper reporter in Barrel, remarked
Not by a long shot" and proceeded
forthwith TO moor Hunts meadow to
Vermont so that New Hampshire could
not float the meadow away and hitch
il to the Concord jurisdiction. The en-
tire state of Vermont backs up Warden
Metcalf; the Hunt meadow belongs to
Vermont and there will be no flching

Trial of Eleven on Sabotage Charge
 Begun by Court

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. I'M. L. Parks, formerly employed as fore man by the Oliver Manufacturing company, was the principal witness heard today at the trial of William J. Oliver and 10 others on charges of sabotage and fraud in connection with the manufacture of munitions for the government during the war
 Parks testified that he took a prominent part in gathering and fur nishing to government agents the in- formation on which the charges were based, and admitted, under cross ex- animation, that the fact that he had been discharged by the company probably had something to do with his remembering more at the current trial than he did at the preliminary hearing of the case. He also ad- mitted he had attended conference in the office of an attorney for the Tennessee State Federation of Labor and made statement as to alleged sabotage.
 Several other former employees of the company were put on the stand by the government.

amounts necessary to refit the ships 1 for passenger service. Chairman Payne said tonight that the sale of the craft would not be considered until the situation had been laid be- fore the senate committee.
 The end of the auction for receiv- ing bids came quickly today with only one offer made out of a choice of 19 ships The largest vessels of the fleet, including the Leviathan, George Washington, Agamenon and Mount Vernon, were passed over without arousing the interest of the shipping men who yesterday bid millions for the liners in the groups.
 The single offer made was a bid of $550,O00 by the Acme Operating corporation for the 4,5O0 ton steamer Otzgo. When ships offered indi- vidually failed to bring further bids, Commissioner Scott called for offers by groups and getting none an- nounccd the auction closed. Under the announcement at the opening of the auction, no action will be taken on the bids without the sanction of the senate commerce committee and the house merchant marine commit tNS anu PNA0AIS IiC 0CClSIOA VI tHC injunction proceedings brought by William Randolph Hearst, as a tax payer to prevent the sale of any yes sels.
 Opposition to the sale continued in the senate today, Chairman Jones of the commerce committee intro ducing resolution to forbid the sale and requiring the shipping board to refit the liners with the earnings of it's other craft.
 President Wilson today worked on his reply to the senate resolution calling for investigation as to wheth- CT secret agreement exists between the shipping board and Great Britain over the disposal of German ships It will be an emphatic denial, it is understood.
 A plea, for the development of a merchant marine, which would pro- vide adequate transportation facili- ties under the American flag for the island possessions was made before the senate commerce committee to- day by Governor McCarty of Hawaii
