Theoretically, the proposition is cor
rect, but. 1t might be vel to re-
member that it is not the simplest
thing in the world to find storage for
flood waters In every water-ccurse
which develops such possibilities-Rut-
land Herald.
II looks as though We shall have to
work partnership arrangement on
this matter OF storing flood waters.
Nearly every stream has somewhere
on It's upper course a swamp or val
ley where an artificial pond can be
built There are upwards of 10000
persons in Vermont who are interest
ed as is shown by their taking out
fishing licenses. These fishermen
would be warmly in favor OF 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 flood waters. The reservoirs
would always have to retain enough
water TO keep the fish frcm damage
but by taking advantage of deep basins
and building reasonably high dams
the two projects can be worked to.

FIFTEEN WOMEN NOW
LICENSED TO PREACH
IN M. E. CHURCH
Right Was Granted at General
Conference Last May

Fifteen women have been IL
censed as preachers in the Meth
odist Episcopal church since this
right was granted last May by the
General Conference of the church.
The first woman preacher to be
licensed in the Methodist Episco-
pal church under this ruling was
Miss D. Villa Caffrey of Wenta-
chez, Wash. She came from a
family of preachers and at the age
Of nine wanted to preach. She had
been acting as associate pastor of
the First Methodist Church at
Wenatchee. Her pastor who was
at the General Conference tele-
graphed word of it's decision, and
she was licensed as a local preach
er within two hours.
The same evening Miss Wini-
fred Willard was licensed by the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
of Denver. At the time she was
1000 miles away in the east, but
the enterprising Denverites called
a meeting as soon as they heard
the news and took action.
The first woman licensed in
New England was Mrs. Kate Nor.
rison Cooper. For the past three
years she had been pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church al
Portsmouth, R. l. She was licensed
June 10.
Ten days later Miss Mabella H
Whitney was licensed at Pitts
field, vt. She was a supply pas
tor and previously had served az
pastor of Congregational church
in Maine. Ten days after tina

CHARRING DOES NOT STOP
DECAY OF FENCE POSTS

The old theory that charring
the butts Of fence posts and tele-
phone poles preserved the wook
has been disproved by series of
tests recently conducted by the
Forest Products Laboratory of the
Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, on fences
with charred and untreated posts
of varied species. The charred
posts proved in these tests to be
even less durable than the un-
treated ones.
Theoretically, an area of char
red wood around post should
prevent decay, because charcoal
does not decay or encourage the
growth of fungi. But the charred
area around a post is not usually
solid covering. It is checked
through in many places. If posts
are seasoned before they are
charred, the charring does not
reach to the bottom of the season
checks which are always present
If green unchecked posts are
charred, checks will open through
the charred part as the wood sea
sons. In either case the uncharret
center of the post is exposed tt
fungus infection and will decay
as rapidly as untreated wood.
Charring deep enough to resis
decay would undoubtedly weaker
a post of ordinary size.

EXPLAINSPHONE
RATE INCREASE
" Base Charge" Only on
Subscribers Within Smile
Exchange Limit
NO DISCRIMINATION
UNDER NEW PLAN

Speculation as to the increased
rates for telephone service in Della
ware, outside of Wilmington, which
will be put into effect on December
!, was set at rest to-day by e. p.
Bardo, general manager of the Dia-
mond State Telephone Company.
The present rural line rate, or
what is known as the multi-party
rate, is $3.50 fiat for all exchanges,
except Wilmington and Holly Oak.
This rate would be raised, under the
proposed plans, to 1925, as basic
rate for all exchanges except Will
mington, Holly Oak, Delmar, Sharp
town, Selbyville and Whitesville.
For the last four places named, the
base rate will be 50. The Whining
ton and Holly Oak rate will be So,
providing sanction is given by the
Public Utilities Commission, which
has control of the rates within the
city.
The base rate applies to all sub
scribers within two miles of the
base rate area. The base rate area
comprises the corporate limits of
the city or town in which the tele-
phone exchange is located, or a ra-
dius of one mile where the corporate
limits of a city or town do not eX-
tend that far
This practically means in the case
of all exchanges outside of Whining
| ton that the multi-party subscribers
| located within three miles of the
central laSe rate office will pay the
| base rate only. Those located be-
yond the three mile radius will pay
| an additional charge of 25 cents a
! month for each two miles.
TIL re are two reasons for such
changes, NJ. Bardo said. First, the
company has always charged mile
age beyond the base rate for each
quarter mile or fraction for individ-
ual, two-party and four-party sub
scriberS. A fOurparty subscriber
located two miles from the base rate
pays 90 cents a month for each
quarter mile or $l.G0 month in
addition to the hase rate. This con-
stitutes more or less of a discrimi-
nation, which the company is de-
sirOus of correcting.
The second reason is that the eX-
pense of maintaining communica-
tion for subscribers at distHnce
from the central office increases nat
urally in accordance with the dis
tance, both for maintenance and as
investment by the company. Fur,
thermOre, the subscriber at a dis,
tance from the central Office, it is
held, gets service of much greater
value than the subscriber in the CEN
tral community.
In support of the increase in rates
Mr.. Bardo pointed to the fact that
there had been no reward in the
form of dividends to the stockhold
ers of the Diamond State Telephone
Company for the past twelve years
"In short" he said, "the owners oj
the system who provide the service
have had nothing. The new rates.
he continued, will provide a return
and at fair rate only. on the money
they have invested in the business.
It is the hope of the telephone
: company officials that decision viii
be reached by the Public Utilitie'
Commission in time to make uni
form increase in rates both in VII
mington and outside, on Decembe
1. The commission has set Noyem
Der 10 for a hearing on the applica
ton of the company for the proposed
increase within the city.-WAlming

TEN REASONS
WHY BUSINESS OUT
LOOK is GOOD

Ten reasons why the business
outlook in the United States is
favorable and why bushes men
should assume a more optimistic
attitude are given py Roger W.
Babson, famous statistician. Here
they are:
First, the working people in
this country are in possession of
the great majority of bonds issued
by the United States Government
during the war. This is a very
favorable sign, for it shows that
the great mass of people are in
sound financial condition.
Second, that as result of the
coming of national prohibition
two and one-half billion dollars
previously wasted in this industry
yearly is now available for busi-
ness projects that are more useful
and more likely to promote the
welfare of all people.
Third, that in spite of the
widespread opinion to the con-
tary, the Federal Reserve Bank
ing System has been an important
factor in stabilizing financial con-
ditions in this country.
Fourth, that advertising is
now an influential means of
moulding public opinion. This pro-
fession has now reached such an
advanced and scientific stage in
it's development that it is logical
means by which the people of the
country can be convinced that
contrary to their present opinion
business is really on firm basis
and that there is no cause for the
present depression.
Fifth, that the argument that
the falling off of our foreign trade
will prove ruinous is ill-founded
for such trade only constitutes 5
per cent of the total. What little
stoppage there is now in this field
therefore, is of little or no conse'
ouence and will have no notice
able effect on the general business
outlook.
Sixth, that recently the stan
darization of manufacturing pro
cesses has been increasing witt
such amazing rapidity that there
has been a considerable reduction
in the cost of commodities. Thi:
is a permanent influence OF M
mean Importance and should no
be sighted in any consideration
of the future of industries II
general.
Seventh, that all statistic
gathered recently offer over
whelming proof that seasona
Quotations in production in thi
country are rapidly decreasing
This will prove to be very bene
fetal, as it will tend to make tn
demands for labor more constant
Eighth, that taxation will b
radically reduced in the nea
future.
Ninth, that rapid progress i
being made in industrial educa
tion with the result that the mel
employed in industrial plants ar
much better trained for thei
tasks and are performing then
