"Elsctrician-United States Navy"

Electrical schools are located at the
naval operating base, Hampton Roads
Va and Mare Island, Cal, the length
OF the course is eight months, and the
students either recruits or men from
general service, may enter at any time
In order that recruit may enlist Tor
the electrical school he must have
some knowledge of general electricity
to keep up with the classes IN school.
General electricians must know the
names and uses of the various parts OF
a generator. and must be familiar with
the ordinary types Of switchboards and
methods Of wiring.
To day in the navy our newest super.
drea dnauphts Of the New Mexico and
Tennessee type are complete in their
electrical equipment, from the huge
propelling motors to the smallest dyna-
motors for telephone use, totaling
about $1,000 h. p. Think OF what TINS

repair and upkeep rests on the electri.

Would Make Hoover Candidate Of Both
Parties.

Editor of the Times: No one, as
vet. has offered a valid reason why Mr..
Hoover can not be made the joint
candidate Of both Republicans and the
Democrats. We are big enough to do
such things in our small town meet
ings: why not in larger matters. Even
in state matters the Vermont Demo
Gratis twice nominated a Republican,
Clement and Prouty In the best IN
depreciation of the word Republican
which still to all those who honor the
name means for the most part the COM
mon horse sense OF Abraham Lincoln,
Mr.. Hoover is a good enough Repubh-
can to suit any Democrat or Repub-
lican. In the bet sense OF the word
Democrat" which signifies to those
who honor ii most the valuation OF
the rights of humanity above the rights
Of property merely, Mr.. Hoover Is
good enough Democrat to suit any de-
cent Republican or Democrat. And
there never was a time in the history
Of the country when it seemed more
necessary to have a chief executive
who could have the united support OF
the nation squarely behind him.
II is not an impossibility, for II
the Republicans felt that the Dem
ocrats would nominate Hoover, they
would hardly dare 20 do otherwise;
and II the Republicans did nominate
Hoover. then. the only sensible thing
the Democrats could do would be 70 do
likewise. Mr. Hoover furnishes com
mon meeting place upon a high stand
ing OF ideals and action and II he can
be kept there. without being drawn in
a. a partisan candidate 81 either par
tv. he will be most acceptable 20 a
great majority Of the people. II might
a. well be arranged gracefully by con-
certed movement, a. g. be forcibiy fed
through partisan lines later
nj there any honest doubt a. 70 Yer
mont seniimpn, an informal vote taken
81 our March meetings on preferences
for presidential nominations would hon
e-tiv and squareiy remove the doubt
The people only need 10 have The ques-
ton put 20 them squarely, and not a.
partisan Issue.

RUB THE LAMP AGAIN!
Interesting Tale of Fortunate Dough
boy.

He was certainly out Of luck when
he applied at the New York City re-
employment bureau for soldiers, sailors
and marines at sos Pearl street. In
fact, the doughboy did not show him
self one bit particular. Anything that
means board and room quick he said,
half desperately
"Valetf" asked the interviewer.
q am a college graduate" answered
the soldier applicant, smiling family,
"But | am not afraid of hard work.
Anything else?'
Gardener
"You betl" So the erstwhle bach
elor of arts went off to do odd jobs on
the estate Of a New York stock broker.
The other day he called up the bureau
TO thank them for the opportunity, be-
cause he and his employer one after
noon had a heart to.heart talk which
resulted in the doughboy not afraid OF
work being put in his employers Wall
street Office at $40 a week instead Of
$50 month However some dis
charged service men still remain out
of work, and the war department will
not consider its job complete until each
of these men has been placed.

INDUSTRIAL CENSUS BEGINS.
Many Jobs 0pen-More Than i,2oo
Special Agents Will Be Needed.

Close on the heels of the censuses OF
population and agriculture comes the
next big step in the work Of the l4th

census Of manufactures, mines ana
ouarries and oil and gas wells. Dlree'
tor Rogers Of the census bureau an
nounced to-day that March ! would see
the work of collecting Uncle Sans IN
dustrial statistics well under way. The
general schedules have already been
mailed to all manufacturing establish
ments in the country, approximately
400 900. More than 200 special agents
will be needed by the census bureau TO
carry on the vast work OF enumerating
each factory, mine, quarry, oil and
gas well in the nation, and Director
Rogers has issued an open invitation
for all men interested 70 file appHca'
tions for these Jobs Immediately with
the census bureau, Washington. In his
statement Mr.. Rogers says that the
work of the special agents will be from
two TO four months duration and that
an energetic agent can earn from SlZo
10 $3.50 per month When travelling a
per diem subsistence is also made.
The state Of Vermont for the pur'
nose of the industrial census work has
been divided into six districts with
Rutland as headquarters for the chief

New England Agriculture.

New England maintains her eccen-
tricitv in agricultural production.
While the raising of milch COWS Is on
the gain in the country at large, the
number of these animals fell of in
1919 in the states of New Hampshire,
Vermont and Massachusetts,. As these
are the states upon which Boston de-
ponds for its milk, we cannot really
rejoice IN the condition But while
sheep have fallen of in the rest Of
The country, they have increased in
numbers in Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and Connecticut. This
increase has not vet, however, resulted
in any marked decrease in the price
Of lamb chops to Boston householders;
quite on the contrary. Throughout
the rest of the country hogs have
fallen off. on account Of the high price
Of corn; but in England, except in
Vermont, there is a marked increase
in the number of hogs.
All Of which no doubt reflects the
fact that agriculture in New Eng
land is for the most part rather
spasmodic thing, obeying is own ca
prices rather than yielding 10 general
conditions. TIME was when New Eng
land set the agricultural pace; Il does

cies are able to report a quite active
movement IN farm buying in the New

How to Get the Flu.

A nurse had been taking care OF in
auenza cases for several weeks. She
had been perfectly well and had come
to think of herself as immune. One
evening she sat in an open window
until she was chilled. BY morning she
had well developed case Of flu. The
bacteria had been in her throat all the
time. The protective forces Of the
body had kept them from developing
until her resistance was lowered by
the chill
If you want to get the flu when it Is
prevalent. take little sleep, eat a lot
of rich food, deny yourself fresh air at
night, let yourself get chilled in draft
and in general pay no attention to the
rules of common sense living. The tiu
germs are always on the lookout Tor

What is the matter that we haven't
had any roads this winter? We have
all had TO open our own roads so far
7 think II is a shame that we have to
nav such high taxes and have such
moor roads as we have If any one
needs a doctor it would be impossible
for him to get through. In some parts
Of the roads even the mail man can
not get through
There will have to be something
done. If the town of Plainfeld can't
omen the roads we will have to ask
