Burlington Chamber Of Commerce has
begun to do through organized effort
for the development Of business and
community improvement
American business was never in
more pressing need OF aid and devel-
opment. particularly in the foreign
field. American exports in the month
Of March aggregated only 1884, ,000,-
600, the smallest Of any month since
the beginning Of the war. Our i'm
ports during the same month although
larger than in January and February
were only s252,OO0,OO0. The excess Of
our exports for the month was there
fore only s132,00O,000, or about one
third the excess in the various months
during the war
We may gain some idea Of the way
in which the bottom IS falling out Of
our foreign trade from the statement
that our total trade, including both
exports and imports, Of $636,000, 900.
has been exceeded many times In the
last year as well as in other year
siicc 1914 by our exports alone
This falling off IN foreign trade Is
due TO various causes but probably
adverse rates Of exchange have doubt
less had more TO do with II than any
other one cause. However, lowering
prices and the consequent tendency TO
put off trade and frozen" buying
power the world over have unques-
tionably had much 10 do with the pa
alyzing of our trade. In addition 70
all this we must bear in mind that we
are large creditor nation and things
have reached pass where we mu 4
take goods from other nations in lieu
Of money.
These are few Of the features or
the problem that Secretary Hoover
must help solve in connection with his
Tremendous undertaking TO put Amer
ica's world trade on a new and broader
basis than before.
No man is better situated 10 appeal

is Herbert Hoover. His name became

ARLINGToN-NoRTH DISTRICT

The children in the North District
have been having an especially good
time this winter, although they always
know how TO have good times. One Of
the things they have been doing, is TO
sing some of the quaint old English
folk-songs and ballads, which are so
much more whimsical and tuneful
than modern jazz. Since we Vermont
country folks come straight down
from English country-folks, it seems
natural for the children to be singing
the curious, lively old English tunes,
like "Tom Pearse, Tom Pearse, lend
me your gray mare" and "The Rag
gle-Taggie Gpysies, OH" Several OF
the North District schoolgirls have
learned these so well, that their moth
ers thought the rest Of the town might
be interested to hear them, and this
was the beginning Of the North Dis
trict entertainment, which is planned
for the Arlington Town Hall, for Wed
nesday, May 11th. at s o'clock The
rest Of the entertainment is TO be q
play given by the mothers and some
Of the girls in the North District
school. 1t is that hilarious satire on
village gossip, known as How the
story grew" and although the North
District folks have rehearsed il many
times, they never fail TO break down in
laughter at some Of its absurdities
Its the sort Of play which makes you
laugh every minute, and makes you
think after you get home. The pro
ceods Of the entertainment are % be
used by the Battenlill Women's Club,
for improvements on the North Dis
trict school house. Il Is hoped That
everybody vii mark the date, siay IL,
on his calendar and remember % come
10 the Town Hail On that evening %

and to see a lively and unusual enter
taiumeut.

DEMOCRACY Is SOUTHERN
SAYS CHAIRMAN FESS
OF House Memers II2 Out Of lsI Are
Prom States South Of Mason and
Dixon Line.

Dixon Line.
Washington. May l0.--That tn,
Democratic party is merely a South
ern party and is entirely sectional il
tone is the contention Of Chairman
Simeon d. Tess, Of the Republican
Congressional COMMITTEES. He says
.The organization Of the 9th Con
gress revealed the sectional character
Of the Democratic party. In recent
years attention has been drawn 70 tbs
domination Of the Southern statesmen
when the Democratic party is in con
trol Of the government. But it was
never so pronounced as II now ap'
pears in the 9th Congress. Years be
fore the war this was not so pro
nounced. The race question finally
sectionalized the country and the
Southern States became sotdly Demo
cratic, while the North was fairly
united on Reublieanism.
an the present Congress the Re
pulbicans have 30l members and the
Democrats l31. There are two va
cancies and one Socialist, who acts
with the Democrats. OF the l3l Dem
ocrats, ll2 are from what was called
the Southern States, leaving 10 from
the North and West, which gives but
10 members 10 all the vast territory
above Mason and Dixon line. or the
30l Republicans, 267 are from that
section in which the Democrats elect
ed 10 members, and "a came from the
section whene the Democrats elected
.ll2 members. In other words, the
republicans elected nearly double the
number south Of Mason and Dixon
line that the Democrats elected north
Of the line. While in the North the
Republicans elected Ii times the num-
Der of members the Democrats elect
ed, in the South the Democrats elect
ed but three times the number the Re
publicans elected. This shows the
break in the solidarity Of the Demo
cratic solid South.
"The assignment Of committees by
the Democrats shows how completely
the Southern Democrats OF the str
Congress have control OF the party
There are 55 House committees. VI
this number 81 are headed on the
Democratic side by Southern men
Only two, the immigration Commit
tee and Woman Suffrage Committee
are headed by men not within that
tier Of States. immigration is headed
by Sabbath Of Illinois, and Woman
Suffrage by Raker Of California. Sab.

committees do not have a single mem
Der from the North or West. This

tant committees on Military Affairs
