New President of U. v. M.

The selection of the head of an
educational Institution of the import
ance that the University of Vermont
now enjoys is very serious matter.
That the trustees of the University
realized it is shown by this consider
alton of over fifty men before making
the choice of Guy Potter Benton. He
is at present president of Miami Uni
versity. The record OF Pres. Benton
shows that they have selected very
active man who stands high as an
educator and that at the age OF forty
six he can reasonably expect many
years of valuable service for the insti-
tuition to which he has allied himself.
The selection of Pres. Benton is
evidence that the trustees of tie Uni
Versity are determined that the insti-
tuition shall be nearer the people than
even before. DR.. Benton's experience
as superintendent of the city schools
of Fort Scott, Kan, and as assistant
state superintendent of public in
struction aud secretary of the Kansas
board of education has given him an
accurate knowledge of the secondary
schools and their needs and POSSIBLE
tiles. His association with the higher
institutions of more recent date has
also revealed to him the ways in
which the university can aid the Sec
ondary schools. A closer association
of the university and thsepeop1e and
public schools of the state is one of
the most pressing needs of the
University of Vermont and the COM
mitment of the trustees to sech a
work through the choice of DR.. Ben
ton augurs well for the future Long
and successful life for DR.. Benton and.
the University of Vermont.

complete information regarding YER
mont for vermonters themselves.
We wish that every Vermont farmer
knew whether the average yield of
forty three bushels of corn per acre
is any where near the possible profit-
able yield per acre for the average
cultivated land in Vermont or not
We suspect that the average yield
of corn per acre might be made more
than fifty bushels per acre and that
the methods necessary to make it sc
would be more profitable than the
present methods and yield.
Another fact to be noted is. that
only $1,000 acres of land were plant
ed to corn last year That raises the
question whether $1,000 acres of
land are all that can be advanta-
geously cultivated per year for the
production of corn or whether we
have twice or three times that acre
age that might be used yearly for the
production of corn with as good or
better results than we now obtain, If
the fields were properly MANFRED.
We believe that vermont's acreage
of corn might be at least doubled
with very profitable results. We
also believe that when the price of
the land that can be SO used is COM
pared with the price of good corn
land in other states the advantage
will still be with Vermont. The
trouble is we do not know this is so
nor do we know of any source of in
formation to which we can apply for
such information.
The questions are difficult ones to
answer but their correct solution
would be of immense value to YER
mont and as far as the Vermont Pnb-
licity Department gives the public
correct answers to these questions it
will be doing great service for the
state which created it. We believe
that the undeveloped agricultural re-
sources of Vermont are great and
that the state and the country should
have accurate knowledge as to how
great they are. Such accurate know
ledge would not only lead to the de-
velopment of Vermont but it would
tend to prevent any attempt to over
develop Vermont, result to be as
carefully avoided as failure to pro-
perly develop the resources of the
state.

of ye1 Sc. And Vermont is surpassed
nv only two States in the Union in
bush ais of buck wheat per acre.
Vermont is not wheat growing
State and doesn't pretend to be. Last
wear we sowed only 1000 acres of
So ing wheat but only one State in
the whole country raised more BUSH
els per acre, our record being 1913
bushels. North Dakota which leads
with 100000 acres, raised only
five bushels per acre, the Vermont
weld being almost six times as great.
Kansas raised 84 bushels per acre.
The yield in other Western States
was: South Dakota, 1913 bushels;
Nebraska, 1873 bushels; Minnesota.
Is buehels: WiaeGns&3s 1S.7 bushels;
Iowa, 2O.9 bushels. That is = good
thing to tell the Westernere who talk
about the steriIity of Vermont farm
lands.
The average yield of bushels of
potatoes per acre in Vermont is 1870
and only seven States can show a
better record. Maine, with its fam
GUS new lands of Aroostook County,
titled according to modern scientific
methods, is far and away the leading
potato growing State, but down in
the White hlver valley of Vermont
clare to be every bit as good as the
Aroostook County. Last fall the
White River Railroad Company
awarded some prizes in potato
growing contest and the winner of
the first prize raised 1914 bushels
per acre which is more than twice
the average yield in Maine.
In considering the figures given
showing Vermont's yieln Oh crops per
acre to be among the largest shown
by any State, it should be remember
ed that as yet very little really in
tensiye farming has been done here
If the best modern methods of seed
selection, fertilization and cultivation
were practised, the yield would be
very largely increased. The soil of
Vermont is very fertile. During the
glacial period, when the rocks WEI
crushed and pulverized by the 8osif
masses of moving ice, a richrn,on
was left over nearly all fbe Con
extending about as feast and the
necticut liver to. dairy on the south
Massachusetts b. Vermont has been
FOR ,chls TefVored among the New
States and as the figures
EEgiis1t will be able to compete with
sl4e States of the West.
When Vermont can so far outstrip
he great agricultural States of the
Vest in the yield of staple crops per
Lcre, there ought to be a large de-
nand for Vermont farms, the price
# which is much below the price of
Western lands. With the figures pre-
ented, which are vcuched for as cor
ect by the United States Govern
nent there ought to be no pessimism
the future of Vermont
agriculture.

Fourth Murder at Fort Ethan Allen.

Fort Ethan Allen had its fourth
murder on May IA, when Private
John E. Adair, colored, of E Troop.
10th Cavalry, was shot and killed by
Private Martin G. Ellis of The same
troop. Several troopers were loung-
ing around gate enjoying their
beer. Between drinks some discus
sion arose concerning $40 bet
which Adair and Ellis had made in,
connection With ball game. Pre-
sently the two began to fight. Ellis
drew his army revolver and shot
twice, one bullet entered his right
breast the other striking below his.
left eye Adair was "a and Ellis 80.
Ellis was arrested and placed in the
guard house. The next morning he
put an end to his own life by hang
ing. He was visited every half hour
during the night by the soldier on
guard but managed to tear a strip OF
canvass from the mattress in the cell
and hang himself to the bars>over-
head. Both men had good army re-
cords.

One of the first results OF the
Supreme Courts decision in the
Standard Oil case is the institution
of suit by Attorney General Wick
ersham against the lumber trust. =
He alleges that it is an unreasonable
restraint of trade and that the a1leg-
ed conspirators have an elaborate
system of blacklisting, that consum-
ers are listed as proper and improper
and that the organization threatened
short shrift" to any dealers violat-
ing its rules. The case is said to be
the first the government plans to
bring for the purpose of breaking up
trade agreements among retailers
to maintain prices and force all con-
sumers TO buy of retailers. Evident
ly the attorney general is attempt
ing good work and citizens general
~ will wish him success.

Harvey an Empire Builder.

George Harvey of the Harper pub
locations has been in town for the
last few days. If Woodrow Wilson
ever becomes president of the United
States, as he stands a larger chance
of doing than any other man in the
United States who has not already
achieved that distinction, it will be
due to the personal discovery of
George Harvey. No instance has yet
come down in history of one private
citizen picking out another, saying
that he ought to- be president, and
straightway bringing it to pass.
Harvey conceived the idea that this
college president, essayisI in govern
ment, brilliant stump speaker,
southerner by birth, democrat in
politics, had an astonishing array of
qualifications for the presidency, and
Harvey began to lay the pipes for it's
accomplishment. He has already
got Mr.. Wilson into the executive
once at Trenton, which represents
considerable part of the journey be-
tween frln>aton and the District of
Columbia.
George Harveysis one of the most
brilliant of American Journalists
Up in Peacham, Vt, where he came
from, he was known as George p
Mcclellan Harvey, and this name be
bore during his earlier years or, a.
World, on which he became manag-
ing editor when astonishingly youth
full. He went ip with the large
financial interest Of New York, and
has become something o. an expire
builder.-[ Boston Herald.

dered why Art didn't fetch the pa- pers to me, and started after them myself. I saw Happy Hattie listening at my door, then saw her hurry inside the house. I knew some mischief was afoot. I listened, and heard all that went on among you. l knew that Hattie--the best little girl in the world-had no hand in any evil doing l soon learned that she was trying to keep you mischief-makers from doing wrong. But she had her hands too full so I thought there was no use my delaying the game any longer, and l stepped in just in time to see two cowardly boys trying to bully a fine, honest girl, and doing it in order ed one of them to enter his house. Now I had got that box of candy to divide among my neighbours children. AS several of them have proved them selves unworthy I shall count them out when the division takes place."
 Then MT. Fellows turned to Hattie. T got a letter from my sister-a very rich old lady living In an eastern city-asking me if l knew of a nice, honest, sunny -dispositioned little girl who needed the advantages of a fine school and city training. She's alone in the world and wants to do some- thing for some nice young girl. I had had you in mind, and your conduct within the last hour has strength ened my intention to ask you to ac- cept my sisters invitation to spend the winter with her and to receive the many advantages that will be given you"
 Hattie was too full of gratitude to reply at the moment, and with tears in her blue eyes and smile on her sunny face she said to her good old friend: Come and ask mamma, MT. Fellows. But-I fear I'm not quite worthy of your good sisters kindness"
 That evening, in the Smith home, Jake Fellows. head miller, made ar engagements with Happy Hatties par ents for their little daughter to spend the winter with his sister in the city, and Hattie, who had longed for just such advantages. was happier than she had ever been before. Shell be my sisters heir, doubtless" whispered old Jake, on going. flor Sister loves a bright, good girl. Little Happy will come into her just reward for her sunny disposition and her noble na- ture. You should have seen her this guarding my house and goods during the siege! It was then saw her real value"
 And MT. and Mrs. Smith clasped their good neighbours hand, and Mir. Smith replied: Happy Hattie is worth more than her weight in gold and the shine of that metal will never lure her from her duty"
 (Which is to do good and to be happy" smiled Mrs. Smith.
 And so it was that Happy Hattie came into her just reward

emotion. It makes me feel awfully bad every time I think of it.
 There were only ten minutes more to play and neither side had scored. Every one thought it would be a tie game and we considered ourselves mighty lucky to get out of it so easy. Along about that time I be- gan to have a strange feeling. I can't explain it, but felt frisky and wanted to yell at the top of my voice and run around the field as if I wasn't in the game.
 'As the game went on this feeling increased. When I went from one lineup to another I would trot along friskily, which made the rooters laugh, for they thought I was cutting up. But began to have less control of myself all the time and I felt as if I was changed into another being.
 Gradually Dee rushed the ball down toward our goal, but somehow I didn't seem to care. There were only five minutes more to play. When they got to our ten-yard line I thought I'd take a trot around the field--I felt so gay. I 1oped clear around the whole gridiron, puffing energetically, for didn't feel the least bit tired. The rooters watched me in amaze ment. The referee called time out and persuaded me to return to the game. I did so and went back to my position as fullbacll, laughing gayly. We held them for downs on our eight yard line and then the rooters yelled

guard to win. Make each boy feel that he is part of a machine and that he alone can do nothing. If you do that, you'll win by more than one touchdown.
 If you belong to baseball team. don't try for sensational catches or long drives over the fence. Practice on hit-and run plays. squeeze plays and sacrifice hits. Teach the in- fielders to back each other up in stop ping hot grounders. Fast team work will win more games than home runs or one-handed catches will.
 How often have you heard mem bers of a basketball five say. We have a forward who can shoot nine out of ten baskets? Too many think if they have an accurate basket thrower they can win. But the team that depends on fast, accurate pass ing and head work" will win more often than on sensational basket shooting.
 Of course track sports do not de- mand as much team work as other sports do. But even in these boys will do well if they use strategy in wearing out their opponents with a pace maker, thus saving up their best run ner to win. Does team work pay? Try it and see.
