nervisor Fred Graflund mentioned

Yesterday the matter of the
amount of bond was referred to
,hs finance committee. In their
report today they recommended
100000 as the amount of bond adj
ysable. The body was informed
that the statute requires a bond of
$4,000 from this official upon en-
iering office. the amount being liza
bic to increase by the county board
at its discretion.
The recommendation was at
tackled by Supervisor Schillinger,
who said that he thought this
amount exorbitant. Instead he adj
vsed fixing the amount at SIS 900,
which, he argued. according to
present figures would cover with
q margin any sum Of money the
superintendent would be likely to
have on hand at any time.
There was little opposition and
when Supervisor W. NJ. Mitchell

Editor, Barre Times: ] note in The

|"wholesale Operations" in which the

amined four were found not to be in
need of an operation"
This might have been true-but II
wasn't. As matter of fact, the ex

| Waitsfeld, Warren and Fayston and
| the 26 operations resulting from these
examinations were on children from

contributing six from membership Of

was carried out by all having anything

''The recent sensational raid upon
the Porto Rican market, which resulted
in the lifting of more than 80 per cent
of the inland crop at an almost unbe-
lievably high range of prices, has fur
nished Water Street with an interest
ing topic for speculation as to the prob
able effect upon domestic and Havana
filler market" says the Tobacco Leaf.
The opinion of the Street is that the
bounding Of the Porto Rico prices will
have sympathetic effects in the Havana
and domestic markets, having a ten
dency to shove prices up on all types
Of cigar leaf. dealers in Porto Rico
are quite frank in their admission that
the recent stampede was a mistake,
but they declare, and with some justi-
fication, that once the activity was be-
gun there was nothing to do but follow
the procession. The belated awaken
ing to the fact that the promised pro-
duction of from forty to fifty million
pounds of inland tobacco, which a
greatly expanded acreage indicated,
had been radically reduced by damag-
ing rains during the growing season, is
blamed for the suddenness and reck-
lessness of the buying. Whatever the
reason and who's to blame is, however,
of secondary Importance to the re-
markable fact that stripped Porto Rico
filters will be nearly as costly as the
same grades of Havana. In the face
of this unprecedented circumstance it
is natural to conclude that the leaf to-
bacco division of the cigar industry
may be due for some rather radical
changes

Will the manufacturers make an eff
for to comb out the best of the 1919 as
soon as it is in shape to be judged as
to its binder quality? The cry has
been: Binder shortage; get as good
binders and plenty of them." 1t is too
early to pass upon the merit of the 1919
as whole. Some have held that the
long sizes of this years leaf are not
plentiful, but as the leaf comes out of
the bulk sit looks good," and it will
not be of disappointing quality to the
manufacturer. The little dip into the
1919 by the General Cigar Co., reported
last week, was not surprise move, it
simply indicates that the demand for
good leaf is persistent, and that the
early buyer knows good thing when
he sees it. The deliveries are pro-
crossing satisfactorily, and the ware
houses are wasting no time in handling
the goods. making satisfactory progress
with the limited number of hands avail
able. There are some packers in south
ern Wisconsin that expect to be through
with their work before the last of May,
but these are the exceptions. Springs
work on the farms is just starting, but
heavy frosts during the nights have
hindered any general activity. An
early start this year would have been
very desirable on account of the short
age of farm hands; as it is, the seeding
will not be finished before the latter
part of the month. May and June are
going to be crowded for the farmer
who is obliged to do his work without
sufficient help, and some of them neith-
er will nor can pay the wages demand
ed. A few are going to cut down the
tobacco acreage on this account, but in
spite of this, we are assured by the re-
ports from the different tobacco grow
ing sections of the state that an acre
age will be planted practically equal to
that of last year.

Indications at this time are that there
may be more Shade acreage this year
than early estimates indicated. 1t has
been the prevailing opinion that the in
crease would be approximately 20 per
cent in the Connecticut Valley. 1t now
appears that the increase may be fully
go per cent. The cloth proposition is
not so acute as it was some time ago,
and the supply is said to be a fairly
abundant one, though the price is very
high. The fertilizer proposition is also
improving according to last reports.
Embargoes that have been in force are
now being lifted and shipments are be-
ing received more regularly.
AS far as buying is concerned, at the
present time, the local market is quiet.
AS has been stated, the bulk of the
crops are already in the hands of the
packers. There are stray crops, how
ever, of Havana Seed and Broadleaf
varieties which have not as yet left the
hands of the producers. |. Katz, OF 66

NOT A NEW METHOD

An exchange says: The old Flor ence mine in the Neihart district of Montana is being unwatered in inter- esting way, according to recent pis- patch from Butte. A five-inch water column was put down the shaft 22O feet. A one and on-half inch line was lowered in the five-inch water column A large section at the bottom of this pipe line was filled with jet holes for the escape of air. The small pipe line was then connected with the air compressor, and air forced down the small line and through the jet holes into the five-inch column and the water immediately began flowing out at the top. This method of un- watering is said to be economical.
 For years the Santa Fe has been using this system for pumping water from it's wells along the road at num- erous points, one of the most impor- tant being at Yucca, where water is pumped from a 1000 foot well. By the process it is necessary to have a. bout 500 foot water pressure above the air entrancet give it the proper lift, and it cannot be handled in any other way.

ridden nations of Europe today, but what is their suffering as compared with that of the Armenians and Syr- ians. Almost friendless, homeless and breadless, still in the hands of their enemies, struggling day and night for bare existence. We have been forgotten; we have been forsak- en by those good friends who promis ed us liberty and protection. In this hour of extremity we turn our faces to this great nation and appeal for justice and mercy. How long shall we be exiled and living in camps and mountains? How long shall our daughters remain slaves in Turkish harems? How long shall we suffer in the hands of hunger and naked ness? Would to God that this great American Nation would feel our sor- rows and would extend the helping hand to this forlorn and strangled people,"

RECLAIMING OF /
 ,. SAHARA DESERT

America can point with pride to its reclamation of several millions of acres of desert waste and credits this work to American energy and perse- verance. But not to be outdone by the energetic American, the Algerians have sunk wells and are now reclaim ing vast acreages of the Algerian deserts. These deserts are rich in soil values and can be made to grow everything possible to be produced by any region on earth. The work of ex, tending the reclaimed area in that re- zion of vast sand plains is going steadily on and within the next fifty years it is expected that the great Sahara Desert will have become . thing of the past.

Asbestos Mining

At Chrysotile, on Ash Creek, a short distance north of Timber Camp mountain, are the asbestos mines of the Arizona Asbestos association, operated by the Johns-Manville com pany, employing more than 200 men, producing the finest asbestos and a larger tonnage than any other asbes- tos mine in the United States, and farther north, at the Salt banks on Salt River, the Regal Asbestos com pany is developing another large as- bestos property.
 Timber Camp mountain supplied the timbers used in the McMillen silver mines and for the construction of houses at the town of McMillen over forty years ago, which explains how the mountain got it's name.
