State Engineer Asks to Be Relieved on
March 1.

II. M. Mcintosh, who was appointed
state engineer by Gov. II. Il. Graham,
stated last evening that he had re-
quested Gov. James Hardness TO relieve
him Of duties as state engineer March
!, at which time he viii resume his
vocation as civil engineer in Burling-

duties at the time the fight between
Vermont and New Hampshire over the
boundary line was hottest and he did
great deal Of work getting the MA
terial ready for the attorneys OF YER
mont to carry the case into United
States supreme court.
Mr.. Mcintosh is considered one of
the ablest civil engineers in the state
and is well posted on state affairs.
However, his ideas may not always
have been in accord with the ways Of
handling the states affairs in the pres
-ent regime. He has been in poor health
since last summer, first being i'll and
later breaking his right wrist by
fall swhile looking over some road
work.
AS his successor it has been .sug-
gested that possibly Highway Com
missioner Dix may take over the dual
activities, which would mean saving
in overhead expenses.
w. r. Elrod who was appointed LAST
week as district highway commissions
er in Chittenden county, died Monday
before the announcement Of the APP |
pointment appeared in the papers, 50
there is another vacancy to be filled |

Advertising in the coun-

n XPERT ADVERTISERS say it is not only the most

general, for the reason that the average maga-
zine that you receive today set in type several weeks
ago. and the advertising copy was prepared several
weeks before that This means that advertisers in the
magazines have to anticipate conditions several weeks
In advance of the time the copy is prepared.
This is not so with advertising in the country
weekly for the country weekly has the advantage over
tne magazine in that the weekly circuaes in cOmpara
