RECRUITING FOR VERMONT

The suggestion is made by L. II. Hal
lett of St. Johnsbury that one way
in which the farm labor shortage might
be met would be TO open employment
bureaus in various parts Of the state,
the bureau to be under state super
vision and control The suggestion is
worthy of consideration in view of
the fact that the labor shortage on the
farms of Vermont continues almost as
acute as it was during the period of
the war. and the harvesting of the
crops each year is seriously inter
fered with If not wholly prevented

view toward turning detached labor
toward the farms, at least for the sum

il would undoubtedly go EAR toward
meeting the labor shortage. It is evil

sands of appreciative tourists passing

an unanimous vote that as an amateur
horticultural, Mrs. Denmore has no
peer, and it is not transitory felici-
strangers through her well appointed
and nicely kept garden, but on the 9TH
er hand, it is real pleasure and an
abiding Joy for her to permit and as
sist others to share with her in her
daily enjoyment the visible mortal
crown of well-spent life. So also as
scientist is she producing results
which are not only of substantial bene-
fit to her but may become of unques
toned value universally among farm
ers and by the evolution of broader
scientific experimentation the far
reaching results cannot be forecasted.
Mrs, Densmore is sister of Mrs.
Annette Parmalee of Enosorrg Falls,
the knowledge of whose power as
suffragette is not confined to the Dor.
ders of this state, and it has become
source of wonderment to the scribe
how the magnetic power and influence
of two sisters can be SO conspicuously
divergent and so unlike in results and
achievement. The one, always leading
retired life devoted entirely to labor,
commands the Rock of Ages" TO dis
integrate and her command is obeyed,

The rebuilding of the Vermont Ma
tional Guard is progressing at rate
which viii require many years TO com
plete the organization, only few com
panies having been formed and those
companies not being recruited to the
full strength required by the govern
ment. However, it is encouraging that
efforts are being made to put the
states military force back into being
and it seems probable that in due sea
son the idea of joining the National
Guard will be more appealing to the
young men of the state than it is at
present. Vermont should he able to fill
out regiment of troops ut peace time
strength at least.

situation with his squad of track can
dldates.
Mathers was very much impressed
with the track spirit at Tech and said
that this counted for more than any
thing else in producing winning
combination. Mathers Is young and
hustling and has made an excellent
initial impression. He is q brother in
law of Dick Harlow. assistant football
coach and boxing instructor at Penn
state. 1t will be remembered that
Harlow was stationed at Tech during
the war and 1t is supposed that Math-
ers' decision to cast his lot with Tech
was due largely to the influence Of
Harlow.
