Vermont Fourth i'm the List
(Barre Timesl

ALTHOUGH generally given credit for be-
ing thrifty. Vermont people do not bank
their money so well as the people in three
other New England states. Odly enough,
Massachusetts stands at the head of the
New England division, as well as of the
entire United States, with 60 per cent of
its population as depositors in the savings
banks of that state. Our sister state of
New Hampshire, with which Vermont has
much in common as 10 habits, makes a far
better showing than Vermont, with IS per
cent of it's population as depositors. while
Connecticut is also much ahead of Yer
mont with 81 per cent. Vermont comes
fourth in the New England division with
33 per cent, closely followed by Maine
with 81 per cent and Rhode Island with
81 per cent. We, in Vermont, have some
thing to work for to get anywhere near
Massachusetts in this respect.

! HUMANE IMMIGRANT UNIT

a writer to the New York Times
makes a practical suggestion which if
adopted should prevent some of the dis
tressing separations now occurring daily
under the immigrant quota law. His
idea is that families be counted as units
rather than as individuals.
This, like all other suggestions, is
open to criticism and liable to abuse if
adopted, but it is founded on reason and
humanity. Under the present ruling a
father, mother and three or four older
children may be admitted, and then a
little one of five years or less may be
marked for detention or deportation be-
cause the national QUOTA for the month
has been filled. Married couples may be
parted similarly, and other unwise and
inhumane partings may be ordered.
There is much to be done and undone
before immigration is handled properly.
but pending the enactment of entirely
satisfactory laws, some such alternating
measure might be considered by congress.

WHAT A HOSPITAL MEANS.
On Who Appreciates Its Importance
Urges Support for 1t.

Editor of The RefOrmer -
y plea to the serious minded. also the
frivolous minded; Just human plea. Did
you ever stop to think that some one near
and dear might through necessity be a
patient in the Memorial hospital? Did
you ever stop to think what their loss
might mean? Did you ever stop to think
what their restoration to health and pos
sibly life itself might mean to you and
the community? Saved through efficiency /!
Efficient doctors, efficient nurses and an
efficient hospital. In your leisure time to-
night give this a thought.
Members of my family owe their health
and lives to the doctors; the nurses and
the Memorial hospital. 1t might be you.
or yours. 1t is not given US to see into
the future. Can you think of greater re-
turns for money spent than that you had
a, part in making the Memorial hospital
the MOST efficient of hospitals, as it
should and can be made? Returns of
'wondrous JOY and knowledge of not life
but lives.

day of the fair at Colebrook, n. H, the
