HIGH PRICES
 ARE NOW DUE
 FOR BIG DROP

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 6 (by As sociated Press) The Harvard con- mittee on economic research, ap- pointed by Harvard University to make special studies of economic con- ditions, has just announced that the United States may expect a check in the upward prices and of business activity which has been in progress since last April, and perhaps a drop in prices. At the present time, how ever the committee states, and on the basis of the November and De- cember figures, it would be premature to conclude that violent recession in commodity prices is probable.
 The committee was appointed by Harvard University in 1917 to assist in the solution of the fundamental economic problems which underlie modern commerce and finance. It pro- vides statistical information to fed eral reserve banks, for banking houses and large corporations, and includes among its publications a review of economic statistics which contains price forecaster.
 The committee bases its present forecast upon statistical material rep resenting the decline in the New York bank clearings, the volume of sales on the New York Stock Exchange, the prices of industrial stocks, and analy- sis of the banking and trade situation, domestic and foreign.

In the DAVIS News.

Today is the sixty fifth birthday of
Charles Henry Niehaus, who holds high
rank among American sculptors of the
present day. Mr.. Niehaus is a native
of Cincinnati, and was educated in the
public schools of that city and in the
Royal Academy at Munich To an I'M
usual extent examples of his sculpture
are scattered up and down the land.
The capitol at Washington has his por-
trait statues of Garfield, Ingalls,, Nor
ton and Allen; and the library of con-
gress has his study of Gibbon, the his
torian, and of Moses, the lawgiver His
chief work in New York city is in the
bronze doors of Trinity church. The
Connecticut state house has statues by
him of Hooker and Davenport, fathers
of the colony. The Mckinley and Har-
rison memorials, at Canton and Indian
apolis, are of his design. Three years
ago he won in open competition the
right to design the national memorial
to Francis Scott Key, in Baltimore.

An Opportunity for the Fisherman.
Rutland News

theoretically, the proposition is cor
rect, but it might be well to remember
that it is not the simplest thing in the
world to find storage for flood waters in
every water-course which develops such
sibilities-Rutland Herald
1t looks as though we shall have to
work a partnership arrangement on this
matter of storing flood waters. Nearly
every stream has somewhere on its up
per course a swamp or valley where an
artificial pond can be built. There are
upwards of 10000 persons in Vermont
who are interested as is shown by their
taking out fishing licenses. These fisher,
men would be warmly in favor of a few
score mountain reservoirs which might
furnish sport and food fish. Here is a
chance for some genius to organize the
fishermen and the water rights owners
into clubs to provide fishing preserves
maintain the flow of streams and save
wastage and damage from food waters
The reservoirs would always have to re
tain enough water to keep the fish from
lamage but by taking advantage of deer
basins and building reasonably high dams
the two projects can be worked together
| in harmony.

A Contrast in Wages.
(Rutland News.

High living costs have created a
new condition to be met in the es-
tablishing of salaries (of teachers)
and in educational circles is noted the
most fragrant disregard of such con-
dition. The fact that elementary
teachers in Vermont receive as low as
$434 year as set forth by the Teach
ers' club can be construed in no ia
vorable light in it's reflection of our
attitude towards the teachers of the
state. Huntington News.
The salary of he teacher stands out
in strong contrast with all other wages
paid. For instance, the bill is before
us of a skilled mechanic-and he's a
good one-at 1926 an hour for "ovel
time" and $3.50 an hour for regular
time. This means that the public pay
this mechanic in a month what they
pay some of their teachers in one year
And not school official in the state
of Vermont with the sole exception Of
the state superintendent of education
gets salary as large as this mechan
ic s pay would figure if he WORKED
eight hours a day at the rate named.

TUBERCULAR MILK KILLS

The United States department of ag-
riculture in a public statement saws
that according to the best authorities
tuberculosis of bovine origin repre-
sents about % per cent of all the cases
of tuberculosis in children under FIVE
years of age. In certain types of the
disease it is very much more, but TAX
ing the tuberculosis cases as a whole
about one case in four of every child
under five acquires tuberculosis from
cattle. 1t is estimated that in New
York City between 6 and 10 per cent
of the children that die in hospitals
yearly of tuberculosis die of bovine tn.
berculosis. Medical authorities point
out that the country has been very
slow to appreciate the greatness of the
menace of bovine tuberculosis in chill
dren. This need for greater protection
of human beings, particularly children
from the dangers of bovine tuberculo-
sis is one of the things strongly en-
phasized in the campaign against dis
eased cattle.
Yet Barre is the only place in Yer
mont that has had the herds of cows
supplying milk for its residents tested
and cleared from tuberculosis. The
great majority of the parents of Yer
mont children do not know whether O,
not they are feeding their children dis
eased milk. There is a Vermont law re
quiring the health officers to take sam
pies of all milk offered for sale and senC
1T to the state laboratory for analysis
but it is feared the law is observed
more in the breach than any other way
Certainly there are no public announce
ments that such tests have been mad
or of the results of such tests.
There seems to be great indifference
on the part of the public regarding tn
milk it is consuming. 1t can have it
milk analysed without expense but doe
not insist upon it. 1t is criminal neg
ligence to allow the sale of milk tina
is not inspected and certified free fror
disease by the public health authori
ties.

best opinion is that the bodies should b

TOWN CONSOLIDATION GROWS.

Of course Governor Clement is right
when he says that some towns must OBJ
serve economy if they are to remain
solvent, but the problem of how to re-
duce expenses when everything costs
from fifty to one hundred per cent more
than it did is the problem that is keep
ing individuals awake nights also. III
timately, some more effective method of
equalizing taxation between the towns
must be found Some of them, either
unhappily circumstanced, the victims of
past misfortune or Encouragement. are
so burdened that they offer no attrac-
tion to newcomers and even urge old
residents to migrate. Apparently fol
such there is no adequate relief. It is
a constant pull against the current
Whether such towns should be given q
strong helping hand by their more fort
innate brethren or allowed to grow
worse and reduce the average fnan
cially morally and in every way, is 6
matter that sooner or later must en-
gage serious attention. Some breaking
up of town lines in the interest of {
better whole may enter into the solu
| ton.
The above editorial appeared in thi;
week s issue of the Randolph Herald
! News and shows that the idea of con
solidating towns unable to sustain ;
town government is gaining strength
among the thoughtful people of Yer
mont.

The Ultra-Modern Orchestra.

The typewriter's the thing just now
For an orchestra they say;
1t clicks and clacks along the keys
As the other tooters play.
If things 60 on like this there I'll be
No end to things that jazz;
They I'll use the family tin-ware
And all that mother has
In the way of kitchen weapons
And woodshed tools to boot;
It's a grand and glorious thing
To play a thing so cute
And hear the clicking of its keys
Keep time to the swaying crowd;
The boys and girls will like it
Because it plays so loud.
Perhaps as time goes on apace
The Ford will be cranked up
And the egg beaten and the chopping
bowl
VIII fill the places up;
The vacuum cleaner will be tuned
To play a waltz or two
While the good old fiddle and cornei
With envy will turn blue.

Some System of Alarm Needed.
tBarre Times. J

Certain guests in the Hotel Fullerton
at Chester, when that hosiery burned
recently, declared they had no warning
that their lives were endangered and it
was only by hearing loud talking, which
they thought at first was made in wei
coming night guests, that they were
awakened and, later fully aroused by
the call of fire, after which they made
their exit by way of smoke filled halls
as best they could. 1t goes without
saying that a hotel ought to have some
systematic way of arousing the inmates
in such contingency as that at Chester,
and the employees of the hotel ought to
be schooled in the system just the same
as in the regular routine of their work
Safety demands such system and rigid
adherence to it in an emergency.
