Grace Johnson:
Your question as to how old girl
should be before boy takes her
to and from afternoon singing is a
broad one.
In the first place it depends en-
tirely on what the girls parents
think on that subject, and in the last
place it depends on their opinion. AS
far as my personal opinion goes I
think when young people go in
crowds they can be together with
out criticism at an age when they
are entirely too young to accept in
| dividual attention from boys.
"Bill";
My dear girl I just cannot take
the responsibility Of suggesting a
place for a girl to work away from
her own home and people.
If your people are willing to have
you leave home, and your sister is
already at work in Atlanta there is
surely no objection to the telephone
office. In fact have always heard
that the Southern Bell Telephone
Company threw every protection

Lights and Sewerage for Farm
Homes

You remember that old saying,
There's light in the window for
NEE 1t is a beautiful thought. It
IS a beacon guiding the traveller
nome. 1t draws one just like the
magnet attracts steel. 1t is light
that stands for something, for
warmth, comfort, happiness and con-
tentment. It embraces that all-in-
elusive but indescribable term
Home" AT present many Of our
farm homes are poorly and ineffi-
GENTLY lighted. There is no glamor
of attractiveness about them. There
are often no reckoning bright lights
to appeal to the imagination Of the
boy and girl, or even the father and
mother. There is no reason why
we should not have better lighting
system on our farms, and this ar
ticle is written in an appeal for the
attainment Of that end.
Next to light comes sewerage
The health of the family is one of
our most important considerations,
and we should safeguard it with the
utmost care. How shall we accom-
aplish this end? BY providing the
OOSL SANITARY Ill dl1u
around the home. One of the means
'of accomplishing this is to be sure
that the waste from the home is
properly disposed Of so that flies
and other insects may not act as
carriers and distributors of disease.
We can have excellent sewerage ar
rangements in the average farm
home. The septic tank has proven
its merit and worth. It is a case of
ambition and determination and q
little effort, and then we may have
one Of these institutions associated
with every farm home.
Our extension workers at the Col
lege of Agriculture are greatly con-
cerned about these problems. They
have studied and experimental along
these lines. They have gathered to-
gether lot of helpful and desirable
information. It is of such impor-
lance that I feel it is well worth
emphasizing at this time.

Kentucky Not Affeeted-5,000 Men

GOVERNMENT NOT TO ACT

| Washington.-The greatest strike of
the century is on-that of more than
| $4,000 bituminous and anthracite coal
miners in $500 mines in twenty states.
Long before the midnight hour liked
| for the strike the workers in many
| mines walked out. AS the men finish
eed their shifts they left, saying they
would not return until the strike was
won.
The first union mine to 90 on strike
was the Parsrum mine, near Mounds
vile, w. Va, where 500 miners walked
out at 3 p. m. Next in order, 800 min
ers at Pana, ILL.,, packed their tools
and went home
The first break in the ranks of the
coal miners came when union miners
Of Western Kentucky decided not to
join in the strike, voting to stand by
an agreement with the operators that
runs through 1922.
Another break was reported in the
ranks of the Indiana miners when
President Jackson of the scale com
mittee of the Indiana district ordered
his 5000 miners to remain at work.
Jackson says he had an agreement
with operators that there would be no
strike until an agreement supplanting
the one now expiring was drawn up.
"Organized labor in America stands
behind the miners in this controversy
like the Rock of Gibraltar" said Sam
uel GOmpers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. ut is the
test and we will meet it."
Both sides are in excellent shape
to stand long fight, according to gov
eminent officials in close touch with
the situation. The operators have
piled up the greatest reserve stocks of
coal in years to prepare for the strike.
Geological Survey experts report that
63,000,000 tons of coal are on hand,
enough for fifty-one days supply.
These figures are the best available,
F. G. Tryon, coal statistician of the
Geological Survey, said
Railroads, from the supply they now
hold, will be able to operate only for
ty-two days unless the threatened
strike is either averted or called off by
that time, IryOn estimated.
Industries face varying periods Of
operation. The steel industry will be
able to operate As days; various by
product plants, 80 days; general in
dustrial plants, So; coal gas works, 80
electrical utilities, 81. Retail coal
dealers, it is estimated, have but TWEEN
ty-three days supply, while bituminOus
coal consumers will be lacking coal
after forty-three days. Tryon added !:
Industrial consumers in New Eng
land have a Reserve supply for seven |
ty-one days, and for the whole United
States the average reserve is fifty-six
days. The railroads have approx |
mately 100000 tons of coal in re-
serve and are in better shape to face |
a protracted strike than ever before"

SOME OMISSIONS

Notable for What Was Not Noticed

Free Press Write-Up of Morrisville
Notable for What Was Not Noticed
The write-up of Morrisville and
Hyde Park that appeared last week
in the Free Press was a we'll written
readable article, but some things
were omitted, probably due to the
short time the writer, c. H. A. Jack
son, was here, that are causing con-
siderable comment.
For the past Is years, even dur
ing dull times, except for shut-downs
for repairs, ETC., George A. Morse has
employed some 80 hands in his lumber
dressing mill at the foot of Portland
street, and has that number now on
his payroll. Not line was given this
industry.
The F. w. Mould granite business,
opposite the depot, was not noticed.
This industry was started and has
since been carried on without any aid
from the village.
The Union Savings Bank & Trust
Co. was given deposits of over one
million dollars. 1t has over two mil
lion dollars and is one of the strong
est banks in the state.
We presume there were other omis-
sions, but these are those we hear
most talked about.

P. A. LOSES HOSMER
Elected Principal Spaulding Academy,
Barre

Elected Principal Spaulding Academy
Barre
The Barre Times, April 7, con.
tanned the following of much local
| interest.
Willis H. Hosmer, at present the
principal of Peoples Academy in
Morrisville, has been elected princi-
pal of Spaulding High School in
Barre and today he telephoned to
Superintendent C. H. White his ac-
ceptance of the appointment, expect
| ing to assume his duties at the open
| ing of the next school year in Sept
ember He takes the place made va
cant by the resignation of Lyman C.
Hunt, who is now superintendent of
schools in Burlington. By coinci-
dence both Messrs. Hunt and
Hosmer were principals of Peoples
Academy when called to the Barre
position.
The Barre school board canvassed
the situation quite thoroughly before
coming to a decision in the matter,
having investigated the applications
of several candidates for the position
and after conference with Mr.. Hos
mer, who came to Barre for the pur-
pose a week ago. They satisfied
themselves with Mr.. Hosmer's re-
cord and with the recommendations,
which were furnished by others.
Spaulding's new principal has had
ample experience in teaching, prin-
cipalship and superintendent, hav-
ing been engaged in the work during
the past Is years. He was gradual
ed from Cushing Academy, Ashburn-
ham, Mass, in 1898, and then entered
Williams college, receiving degree
from that institution in 1902. Be-
sides his regular school and college
training he has received the benefits
of attendance at the Columbia
Teachers college for seven school
years and at Plymouth, N. H., Nor
NAL school in seven sessions.
His schools work has been carried
out in Vermont, his first position
being as teacher in Brattleboro
Academy at West Brattleboro. where
he remained one year. being then ap-
pointed principal of Waterbury high
school, where he remained three
years. For six years thereafter he
was principal of the Fair Haven high
school. During the seven years
following his service in Fair Haven
he was engaged as superintendent
being first at the head of the Cham
plain Valley union for two years and
then superintendent of the Rutland
west district for five years. Return
ing to the teaching end of the pro-
fession he accepted a position as
principal of Peoples Academy in
Morrisville and has been engaged
there during the past year.
In his formal application for the
position of Spaulding principal, Mr.
Hosmer gave his age as AZ, his height
as five feet 10& inches and weight
as 178 pounds.
Mr. Hosmer is known to many
Barre people through frequent visits
to the city, his wife being the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Mary Mackenzie of Mer
chant street and the late James R.
Mackenzie. Mr.. and Mrs. Hosmer
have one daughter, Elizabeth His
frequent visits to Barre have enabled
him to come in contact with condi-
tions here and thus to give him
fairly good idea of the activities of
Barre and the school system as well.
1t is expected that the Hosmer family
will come to Barre sometime during
the summer to make their home

THE MAPLE TREES LAMENT

Stop WOod-man, stay your hand,
Listen to the Maple Trees demand,
T'is the Maple Tree that makes this
plea
For what it is and would be,
Pm the maple, whose sap is sweet,
Pm the maple so trim and neat,
Pm the maple that gives my blood
That makes your sugar so sweet and
good
Pm the maple that makes shade
From a foliage the most beautiful
ever made,
l shade your house, I shade your
street
In the spring time l give you sap
which is so sweet
That it has given me name, and
made my product staple
And Pm everywhere known as the
sugar maple.
The Robins nest with me of all birds
the most fair
And you don't know how pleased I
am to have them come there,
| delight in their song so musical
and sweet,
And when the wind blows I rock them
to sleep,
My shade reaches out and is welcome
to all
From early in the spring to late in
the fall.
In the spring time when the wind is
west
A season that / love the best,
They bore hole and draw my blood
Which they boil down and call it
Yet they have no love or regard for
They destroy my life because I'm a
tree.
The Canadians song which the chill
'dren repeat
And sing so sweetly in the school
and on the street
Is song which l prize and it
assuages my grief,
The song to them sacred, the Maple
Leaf,
l ask you to sing it and then inquire
is it right
To wantonly destroy me and deprive
me of life?
Deprive me of life now let me explain,
For the few dollars they get and then
call it gain
They can't call it gain, for they will
soon reach the goal,
Where the value of their estates will
be one-half of the whole
And the verdict will be (but they
won't take heed)
They slaughtered the innocents in
their greed.
