The man is Judge John E. Weeks Of
Middlebury. If there is anyone who more
deserves recognition for service and who
promises better service in return for rec
ignition of this kind, he has SO successful

director of state institutions and member
of the state board Of control, Judge Weeks
has demonstrated in every way his remark

Labor Statistics.

An indication Of the number of
those engaged in various occupations
as compared with the total population
of the country during the stable pre-

ports Of the United States census bu-

this source: Persons engaged in ag.
riculture, forestry and animal hus-
bandry, 12,659,OOO; extracts and chem
icals, 965,000; manufacturing and me-
chanical industries, 10,659,0OO; trans.

public service, $4,000; professional

cupations, 1,737,OOO. Total in the
United States, 38,167,O 900. OF the to.
tai 100000 were males and S,077,-
600 were females. The population Of
the United States in its census in 1910
was 1922, ,266. These figures indicate
that over 80 per cent of the population
was before the war engaged in the
above occupations; or, in otheB words,
there was nearly one worker for each

"SmalI Regular Army in Time of Peace

IN CONFORMITY with President
L Harding's Interpretation Of the
army reorganization act Of June 4,
Secretary Of War Weeks has instruct
ed General Pershing, chief of staff, to
employ all the available resources of
the military establishment to organ
lie, train, and otherwise develop the
National Guard and reserve corps in
to the effective forces.
Under the terms Of this order no
skeleton regiments will be maintained
in the regular army, but the 10000
men allowed by congress will be con-
centrated in fully manned, effective
units, while surplus units will be
placed "Out Of commission" and the
surplus officers assigned to the organ
ization and training of the National
Guard and reserve corps.
"An examination Of the statute"
says the Weeks order, SHOWS that the
new law is based on the idea that in
the future, as in the past, great wars
are to be fought, in the main, by
armies composed of citizen soldiers.
We still have the conception Of a
small regular army in time of peace.
