During the evening various telephone
messages were received among them

Pearl Bowen Resigns as Road Commits
sion Because Restricted by Voters.

Pearl A. Bowen has resigned from
the Office of road commissioner, to
which he was elected at the town
meeting He has served several years
and has been a good official, but there
was some criticism of his work last
year. Those in position to know,
declare that a shortage of help was re-
sponsible for his failure to put some
Of the back roads in good shape. After
he was reelected last Tuesday some
body introduced resolution that the
commissioner be requested to confine
himself to his proper jurisdiction. This
was adopted, and was construed to
mean that the voters were opposed
to their commissioners accepting EN-
ployment on the state roads as Mr.
Bowen did last year and had done pre-
viouslv. Mr.. Bowen resigns his office
because he does not want to tie him
self down to work on the back roads
when better opportunities very likely
will present themselves. 1t is said
that Barnard voters failed to find any
one willing to take the Office of road
commissioner in that town.

BUSINESS STILL
 LACKS STABILITY
Employment Situation But Little Improved; Buying
 Revival Yet To Come

WASHINGTON. March ? - The volume of Americas foreign trade last year was less than in 1919. des- pite establishment of a new high rec ord in values for both exports and review of business and financial con- ditions, issued tonight by the federal reserve board.
 The volume of exports of principal commodities declined about nine per cent in 1920 while the volums of im- ports of 9 principal commodities in- creased only four per cent. The year the board declared. saw a tendency toward a more balanced condition of the countrys international trade in 6iated by the reduction in the excess Of exports over imports.
 "Only through imports" the board added. ~is it possible for foreign cour tries to pay us the large balance out standing For this reason, the steady declines in imports since June when imports were at their peak. are not so encouraging"
 Business and industry during Feb ruary, the board asserted, continued in a transitional and unstable condi- ton. The movement toward better conditions, it was added, was not wholly sustained early in the month due to changes in prices of raw ma terials.
 The employment situation in the basic industries has been somewhat the board reported, but that has been partially offset by re- duced employment in other lines.
 Although there are abundant indica- tions that stocks of goods have been greatly reduced and that a large vo- lume of potential buying is in sight. ii has not bet become actual.

He lived again in memory. as his pulses Jagged. days of the eight years he yielded the speakers gavel in the house. Those sorrowing at his bedside heard the old chieftain mutter in his last delirium:

 The senate conferees immediately submitted the bill to the senate and il was approved leaving only action by the house on the report. Inasmuch as the size of the army was the chief stumbling block and as the agreement reached as near the house figure, ap- proval of the house is expected promptly tomorrow.
 Both the senate and the house to- day and tonight had refused 10 recede from their respective army strength figures. As compromised the bill will appropriate SIT ,S3g 900 for subsistence and pay of the enlisted personnel this will mean an army for the year beginning July l averaging 156.666 men.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Congress within a day and a half of adjourn ment, had cleared its calendar tonight of 10 of the 13 supply measures and leaders still were hopeful of getting two others-the' army and sundry ci- vil-through The fight on the naval bill was continued and indications were that it finally would take its place with the many bills regarded as certain to die.
 Among measures for which hope had been abandoned were those pro- posing a soldiers bonus, regulation of cold storage and the meat and coal industries. $100.000.000 for state road aid, a federal budget system, re- apportionment in the house and reor- ganization of the patent office.
