tically to the 1914 level Some reduc-

Prices Of manufactured road materials
tend downward; the present level is
materially lower than that Of year

With the new appropriation by Con-
gress Of 100000, added impetus
will be given to new road construc-
ton. Many Of the States are consid-
ering enlarged amounts Of State aid,
and the new law will have a tendency
to encourage this policy. II will also

opening session will be held Tuesday
forenoon, December 6, although Il is
not likely that any business will be
transacted until after the arrival OF
the noon train from the north
The docket is in course Of prepara-
tion and will contain smaller mum
ber Of court cases than usual. OF the
state cases TO be tried by far the most
important is that Of Ahira Mears, the
deputy county g@me warden, who is
charged with shooting Fred Squires,
neighbor in Sandgate. The victim OF
the shooting was seriously wounded
and is not likely TO make a complete
recovery.
There has been a change in relation
to the calling of jurors. They are
now summoned to appear on the morn
ing following the opening OF the term,
which in this case means Wednesday,
December 7th, at 9 a. m. The list is

TO THE

To the Young Men Of Vermont:

for midshipmen at the Naval Acad-

June, 1922.
| have arranged with the President
Of Norwich University, Mortified, VT,
to hold a competitive examination for
those who wish to attend this academy
on Wednesday, November 30. 1921, at
9 o'clock a. m.
ANY Vermont boy who desires to
enter this competition may rest sssur-
ed that these appointments will be
made solely upon the result Of this
examination, and absolutely independ-
ent OF political or other influences.
The two competitors who rank high

pointments as principals, and others

edneSs in that quarter, but she viii

Limitation consistent with her own
safety.
Japan has displayed a spirit Of
leomp'omise in all that her delegates
have said. Apparently there is no dis
position 20 insist on every detail Of
Japanese displomacy in the Far East,
nor upon every item Of increase in the
japanese navy, The attitude Of the
Japenese corresponds with that OF the
other delegations at Washington.
They will be found willing 10 make
concessions like the rest, and contrib
ute their share 70 the successful out
come Of the conference.
ITALY has a defense problem on her
frontier similar TO that Of France, al
though not so pronounced. But her
delegates approach the discussions in
a spirit that precludes any thought Of
opposition from that quarter. The
Italian people, like those OF other ma
tions, are laboring under a stupendous
burden Of war debt and are praying
for the relief that the Washington
conference promises. The tone Of the
statements issued by the Italian dele
gates assures the world that they will
work with the rest in achieving the
object Of the conference.
"The United States delegation has
drnwn up schedule OF naval reduc-
tion that is startling In its extent.
America stands ready to cut her naval
prog am with those Of the othei ma
tions, and the reductions that she has
outlined are en invitation to the for
eign delegates TO join with her in a
general advance toward world peace.
Belgium, Holland, Portugal, and China
have no such direct interest in naval
matters as the five great powers, but
they can and will assist materially in
allaying the controversies over Far
Eastern questions, and will thus con-
.ribute their share toward the sup
preston Of war America cordially
'eciprocates the good feeling mani
'ested by all the distinguished visitors
o her shores, firm in the belief that II
,resages highly successful achieve

COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
DIRECTORS MEETING
Important Decisions Arrived At and
Work to be Started at Once.

/ All Of the stockholders and others
concerned in the cooperative cream
Iery project at Manchester will be in
terested 10 hear the results Of the
meeting Of the directors held at the
Colburn House November 2lst. The
meeting was presided over by Pres.
Z. NJ Taylor and all the directors ex.
eepting c. d. Bentley Of Sandgate,
were present.
The creamery has been held up
about three weeks due 10 failure on
the part Of the Rutland Railroad TO
grant a sidetrack to the proposed site.
Several trips have been made TO Rut-
land and the officials Of the road have
visited the site. AS yet they will not
give US permission TO construct a
sidetrack.
Some of the stockholders have be-
come uneasy for fear the thing would
not go through. Some thought it
would be a good thing to change TO
handle cream. The directors, howev-
er, have considered all points and have
decided on the following immediate
action.
l. To have the architect complete
the plans for the foundation so that
building can be begun at once on the
site originally proposed.
2. To handle milk instead Of cream
except in few isolated cases.
3. To have candidates for the man
agership Of the creamery comes be-
fore the board about December 1st.
A side elevation Of the creamery
will be exhibited in the Manchester
Center post office and everything pos
sible has and will be done to secure
results.
Nothing can be more detrimental TO
any project than constant kicking and
talk of graft, mismanagement, etc, by
men who are in the organization it.
self. The enemies Of the project start
of that. Energy spent in con-
structive and not destructive work is
what counts. There would be much I

ing avoided if this plan were followed
out. Let's make the project cooper
ative in spirit as well as financially.

The highway department this year
has patrolled about 1900 miles Of
