The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-04-06

The state automobile department al
ready has brought the hand Of the law
upon many violators of the motor We
hicle law in various parts OF the state,
the chief offense under which the pros
ecutions were brought being the oper-
ating of motor vehicles under 1921 reg
istration and the driving of motor We
hicles without securing operators Ii
censes at automobile headquarters in
Montpelier. Inspectors of the depart
ment are going most unexpectedly into
many communities and they are lind
ing several attractions of the law in
these particulars, the guilty ones no
doubt considering that they will be i'm
mune from prosecution because of the
fact that the real motoring season in
Vermont has not yet opened up. But
the prosecutions brought are likely TO
serve as warning that automobile reg
istration begins January i; that Is,

Failure to turn the current from an
electric fatiron caused the partial le-
struction Of residence in st. Albaas.
There are great potentialities of loss
in the electric fiatiron, just as there
are great potentialities of utility. The
most recent experience Of neglect in
the use of the equipment should serve
to give fair warning against careless
ness in other households.

all registrations of the previous year
expires on December 81, and it is for
hidden to operate single day after
the latter date except under special
permission of the state automobile de-
partment and for good and sufficient
reason. The prosecutions thus far
brought will be likely to reduce viola
tions.

and Minneapolis and outside mills
! increased only slightly between July
and August, and produced a smaller
quantity as compared with a year
ago. Minneapolis -four production
during August was trifie less than
normal, which offsets production
during July of the same amount
more than normal, leaving the to-
tai Minneapolis production for the
year considerably less than normal.
Employment Situst;on
Employment was practically nor
NAL in this distrist during August.
There was a strong demand for har-
vest hands, and men for the north
ern lumber camps. which is seasonal
for this time of the year. The ma
jority of industrial plants were en-
ploying the usual number of men.
Building is becoming lighter, but so
far there is little idleness among
skilled building tradesmen. Road
work continues in many localities.
The shortage of skilled copper min
ers in Montana has not been met.
Business failures are not continu
ing at the rate above the average,
with a tendency to include larger
proportion of the smaller firms.
Business failures increased fifteen
per cent III uumu0i, uuI uSShhcu ~
per cent in liabilities in August as
compared with July. Failures in
August this year, were per cent
lower in number than in August a
year ago, and 80 per cent lower In
liabilities.
Crop estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture
for this district issued September /,
show that threshing returns have
not appreciably altered the favor
able estimates made earlier in the
season. The four complete states in
this district have harvested a much
larger crop of wheat, rye, oats, fax
and white potatoes this year than
last, and larger than the five year
average for the years 1915 to 1920,
hut the barley crop, while larger
than last year, is smaller than the
FIVE year average, and the corn crop
promises a return somewhat smaller
than last year, but larger than the
five year average. OF the wheat
raised in the four states in this dis
trict, is should be remembered that
seventy nine million bushels, or
about one-third of the production
this year, is durum Last year about
forty nine million bushels, or one
third of the production, was durum,
and for the five years from 1916 to
1920 the average durum production
was thirty two million bushels.
which was about one fifth of the to-
tai wheat production. Durum does
not bring as good price as wheat,
and its proportion Of the total wheat
estimate must therefore be borne in
mind. The price which the farmer
receives for his product must be
considered. as well as the amount
produced, before forming conclu-
sions as to his purchasing power or
economic welfare.

Rochester, October S.-Just as a

Small Supply Wood
For Northwest Fuel
II Consumers Are To Depend On
Substitute Timber Cutting
Must start
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l

IL.
st, Paul, October Few con-
sumers of the northwest cannot
fully depend upon wood as a substi-
tute for domestic fuel, according to
S. ]. Mckenzie of Minneapolis, who
today conferred with c. p. White,
northwest federal fuel distributor.
There is but a small supply Of
wood cut for immediate use in Nor
them Wisconsin and Minnesota Mr..
Mckenzie said. If the consumers
are to depend on this substitute
fuel, 1t is necessary that wood cut
ting operations commence at once,
IL the supply is to be at all ade-
quate. Wood cut in January, Febru-
airy and March is not fit for fuel
purposes until the follow ing year,
and the amount now cut is not suf
ficient to meet the demand, he said.
No reports were received today
by Mr.. White relative to the ship
ment of hard coal to the northwest
and with the seamen's strike be-
coming effective yesterday, it is
feared that the shipment of this
class of fuel will be retarded.
Approximately 100000 tons of
soft coal were reported moved out
of Lake Erie points for northwest
docks Saturday. This is expected
to arrive at the Head of the Lakes
some time late this week. Mr.. White
was not informed as to the effec-
tiveness of the seamen's strike and
does not expect any report until late
today or tomorrow.

more than one fifth larger than in
August last year Stocks declined
slightly during the month of August
and were one eighth lower than a
year ago.
Lumber manufacturers shipped to
retailers fifteen per cent more lum-
ceived orders for per cent less
lumber. AS compared with a year

orders received by manufacturers
were almost double. Manufacturers
cut one tenth more lumber in Au-
gust than in July and algpost one
half more than in August last year.
Their lumber stocks increased per
cent lower than a year ago.
Projected building operations as
evidenced by the valuation of per-
mits granted in eleven selected
cities of this district increased al
most per cent between July and
August, and for the same cities,
there was an increase of one half
over August valuations of year
ago. The number of permits grant

Flour production in this district

July, but was somewhat lower than
in August a year ago. Duluth Su-
perior mills were much more active
