Helm the Editor.

An Oklahoma editor puts forth this
plea: "My friend, help the editor In his
wide eyed search for news. When your
friends come to you. if you are not
ashamed of it, tell him; when your wife
gives tea party, if you will have recov-
cred from the effects of the gossip, drop
in with the news; when a baby arrives
fill your pockets with cigars and call; if
you go to party, steal some of the good
things and leave 'em with the item in
our sanctum. If your wife ticks you,
come in and let us see your scars and
tender sympathy through the paper. If
your mother-in-law has died, don't be
bashful about it, give in all the common
place news. In short, whatever makes
you feel proud, sad, lonesome or glad
submit it to our twenty-four carat
wisdom and see our matted lock part and
stand up on end with gratitude, which
will pour from every pore like moisture
from dew besprinkled earth"

Honesty in Advertising.

From some quarters we have heard
much discussion on the proposition of
truthful statements in advertising. We
are a strong advocate of this principle
and believe some means should be found
whereby catalogue houses could be
forced to confine statements in their adj
vertising matter to the truth. The de-
ceptive wording and extravagant state
ments in advertising matter, put out
by these concerns, certainly surpasses all
others. We doubt very much whether
telling the truth is a consideration by
the persons preparing their advertise
ments. How often we see nice picture
of a stove, buggy, carpet or some other
article with ridiculous price in big
figures quoted near it, but when you
read a little further you discover the
price quoted does not fit the picture in
the advertisement. In addition to this,
wherever it is possible, they fail to give
the weight, size or quality of an article,
depending upon the good nature of the
customer to accept what is sent them.
If the people would place more conf
dence in the statements made by their
own merchants and less in those made
by outside concerns, they would be bet
ter of.

To Develop Power From the
Ocean,

Is the cherished dream of scientists to
come true after long years? A German
electrician claims to have invented a
machine which utilities the power of the
ocean waves SO that dynamos on shore
can be made to develop electricity
enough to light streets and buildings.
If this be true, he has solved the prob
lem of future fuel supply, for no longer
would coal be required for cooking, heat
ing or power when electricity could be
had SO cheaply. All the power, light
and heat the world required would be at
hand to last as long as man. The eco
nomical saving of such an invention
would be beyond comprehension and
could hardly be spoken in figures Food
stuffs, clothing, transportation and a
thousand luxuries and conveniences
would be greatly reduced in price. Elec-
trio lights would displace all other ilumi-
nants. Electric power would move the
trans continental trains and all vehicles,
besides turning the wheels of labor. The
cooking and heating of the home would
be done by electricity.
A few years ago this discovery, if it be
discovery, would not have meant SO
much to the world as it does today, be-
cause the inventive geniuses of the Cen
eral Electric Company had not then
solved the problem of long distance
power transmission. After this concern
introduced the first oil-cooled, high
power transformers long distance trans
mission of high voltage was made posi-
BILE, and to-day current generated oil the
sea coasts could be carried to almost any
part of the country. such transformers
are used in carrying the power from the
Kern river project to Los Angeles, dis
lance of 1l2 miles; from Niagara Falls to
Syracuse, and in a dozen other places in
this country, Canada and Mexico.

Middlebury does not advertise an Old
Home week. But we have one every year,
and we have one of the most attractive
reunion weeks that any community can
have. The big Addison County fair
gives an opportunity for those who. have
not had chance to see one of the pretti-
est towns. in the prettiest state in the
Union, and also furnishes an agricultural
fair that is not only the equal, but the
superior, of any fair held in the whole
State. So come along, and bring the
whole of your clan-you'll be as welcome
as the flowers in May.

Tribunals Best Client

Washington. Aug. 21-Secreta<y
Roots proposition to submit to arbitra-
ton question of so much Importance
as matter of principle if not of dollars
as this issue between Great Britain
and America has arisen over the asser-
ton by Newfoundland of the right Of
that colony to pass local laws restrict
ing fishing privileges conferred by
treaty upon American citizens. New
foundland's action is based on the plea
that the laws are equally applicable
to Newfoundlanders or in other words
are precisely similar TO laws intended
for the protection of game.
Mr.. Roots proposition was framed
with the deliberate purpose Of mani
Testing the confidence of the American
government in the business and policy
of this method of settling such interna-
tional disputes. The United States of
America has been by far the best client
Of The Hague tribunal; in fact. nearly
all of the cases arbitrated by that
body have come before II at the sugges-
ton Of America and involve matters in
which this government had a personal
interest SO tie agreement TO arbi-
trate the Newfoundland fisheries dis
pute, coming at time when the second
Hague conference is about to act in
plenary way upon the American pro-
posal for permanent tribunal, is cal
culated to strengthen the hands of the
delegates who already favor that propo-
sition.
The principal obstacle which had to
be overcome in order to secure an
agreement with Great Britain was the
reluctance of the Newfoundlanders TO
renew in precise terms the modus vi
vendi under which the fisheries were
conducted last season. They objected
particularly to Sunday fishing by the
American smacks. while their own peO-
pie were prevented from doing so. and
also TO the shipping of Newfoundland
ers to make up the crews of the GlOu-
cester fishing boats. 1t is understood
that with the consent of the state de-
partment. Ambassador Reid yielded the
first point relative TO Sunday fishing

The Cost of Living-Markets.

At the height of the fruit and vegeta-
bic season retail prices are higher and
the quality is poorer than usual. Peaches
which should sell at five cents a quart
are quarter for a two-quart box, and
unsound at that. Apples cost more than
bananas, although the Hudson Valley
orchards are dropping their fruit un.
picked. New potatoes cost the consumer
as much for two pecks as the Virginia
truckman receives for 21-bushel bag.
Milk has gone up. Butter is going up.
Eggs are higher. Sweet corn is 80 cents
dozen, which would mean over $3.50
for an acres produce. Egg-plants are 10
cents apiece, and half acre will grow
more than 10000 of them.
The gap between the price the farmer
receives and the price the consumer pays
is widening. Except in butter and eggs,
where the farmer receives half to one
third of the selling price, almost all
farm and garden products cost the
consumer 81 for every dollar the farmer
gets.
There should be some way of narrow
ing the gap between the soil and the tab e
to the great benefit of both producers
and consumers. Careful investigation
of the matter of freight rates will help
somwhat; and upon this policy all politi-
cal parties are united. But there would
still remain the exactions of the middle
men. What can the inventive and bust
ness genius of the American people do
with this problem World.

Thus countless families could be brought
to this region for their annual summer
vacation, which would in itself be of ad-
vantage, and also would aid in adver-
Using the products of the section an help
in creating a demand for whatever bore
the brand of Champlain Valley. The
officers of the organization should be Sc
lected with care, choosing men of bust
ness ability who would command the re-
spect of the members of the association.
The treasurer should be required to give
bonds, and the finance committee should
require vouchers for all expenditures,
and require an annual auditing of the
accounts. 1t seems reasonable that the
vast wealth of this Valley with profit
could establish and maintain such an or
ganization as its foundation principles in
volve common interest in securing our
portion of the worlds good.
But to insure the establishment of such
an organization there must be public
spirit on the part of the residents of this
valley. There will have to be ready re-
Spouse in order that the present opportu-
nifty may be grasped. Our products can
not attain to widespread name without
a strong, well organized society to &C.
quaint the world with the merits of our
valley and its products. Therefore be it
resolved that committee be appointed
to consider the advisability of the Pomo-
ma Grange now in session ordering by
vote that copy of this article be sent to
each subordinate grange in this Valley
with the request for immediate action
upon the matter, reporting to the Pomo.
ma Grange at the next meeting in the
first week of September. If such reports
will warrant, general call to organize
may be issued naming the date and place
for such meeting. Perhaps the best date
would be early in February next, and a
convenient place, the Court House in
Plattsburgh with the Cumberland House
as headquarters.
We, the undersigned committee on
resolutions, would respectfully report
that we favor the resolution offered by
Brother Gordon, and recommend that a
secretary pro tenn be appointed to receive
reports and take charge of same and re-
port to the Clinton County Pomona
Grange at the meeting to be held in the
first week of September next.
By a vote the foregoing resolutions
were duly adopted and publication of

From all the reports at hand it would
seem that the Merino sheep industry in
this county is beginning to regain quite
little of its old-time prestige. marked
increase has been noted in the number of
shipments of the finer strains of this noted
breed to the South African markets,
where they are disposed of at fancy
prices. There is no reason why Addison
County should not lead in sheep produc-
ton and keep to the fore just as it used
to do.

A great Deal of credit is due Mason
Stone, the State Superintendent of Edu-
cation, for his painstaking work in the
revision of "Conant's Vermont" which
has just been issued. futile Company
has in this work produced book that is
a credit to the printers and to the State.
A copy of this valuable work should be
in every home in the commonwealth.
The work has already received special
appreciation for it's accurate and COM
plete compilation from the State legisla-
ture, and this alone should be sufficient
to demonstrate the value of the work.
