tial hearing of the evidence in a long
and protrncted sitting"
No senator gave moro time and labor
to the study OF the evidence than Mr..
Dillingham; of Vermont, a republican Of
the highest standing and under no sus-
picion Of political or personal interest.
He was interchangeable In trying 10 elicit
the truth. and probably no other senator
had such a grasp Of the testimony. In
an elaborate and painstaking speech he
gave Judgment for and not against the
senator at the bar. One of the clearest
and most convincing dissections Of the
evidence was that OF Senator Fletcher
of Florida, democrat, who had tho
courage to place himself by the side of
Mr.. Johnston ana Mr.. Dillingham;. Tho
sincerity and integrity Of these senators
cannot be questioned. II IL true that the
testimony was rsviewsd by other 1enatorv
who came to contrary opinion; but

LACK Of HELP FOR HARVEST
Farmers Offering from $3.50 to $500
per Day-UnabIc to Secure
Help mt Any Price.

The farmers about Malone and Franklin
County are complaining bitterly of the
shortage Of help to assist in harvesting
the hay crop. and are offering from $3.50
to $500 per day in an endeavor to secure
men to help them out
Not in many years has such n condi-
ton confronted the farmers as does at
the present time. A lack OF men neces-
states the purchase Of more haying tools,
and when the farmer goes to his dealer
for this purpose he finds that none Of
the standard makes are procurable. The
scarcity OF help all over the State has
necessitated the purchase OF more equip
ment everywhere. and as a consequence
all dealers are short of the standard lines.
From $3.50 to $500 per day has been
offered in Malone during the past three
or four days for common laborers in the
hay field, with no takers For some rea-
son or other It Is impossible to get a man
willing to go on to the farm for n few
weeks and help out. no matter what
wages are offered him.
With the hot weather OF the past week
or two the hay crop has ripened phe-
nomenally fast. and now 1t Is drying up
on the farmers. with no one to assist in
cutting it and placing 1t under cover. The
condition that will result from this sort
of work this winter is difficult to compre-
bend, as in past years Franklin County
has had plenty of hay to sell to out
side points. II this thing keeps up for a
while longer she will not have enough
for her own needs.
The $3.50 to $500 offered per day Is for
work in the field, 1t being stipulated that
no chores or other work will have Ia
be done by those taking advantage OF the
offer made at this time.

firing patience. Athletic victories are
not achieved on the day Of the meet;
every victory gained Is the result Of
months of training AMI practice. Every
least motion involved in doing the
stunt" must have been drilled into
the athlete until It has become second
nature. And then at the crucial mo-
ment ability Of this kind means that
power Of the will which can concen-
trate mans whole force and power
into the effort OF a moment. This Is
really bigger thing than the mere
fact Of getting over twenty-four feet
and eleven inches before touching the
ground.
It is a proud thing for this country
to be able to lead the world In those
sports. It implies a good deal for the

APPEAL TO ALUMNI.
u. v. VI. Men in New York Suggest
large Attendance Mt Commence ment.


At a New York Alumni smoker, held
on the evening of June r. 1912, at the
Crescent Athletic club. the need for n
larger attendance each year at COM
mencement was thoroughly discussed
and II was the desire Of the meeting
that steps be taken to bring before the
alumni of the University their obligation
in this matter.
The success of any commencement de-
ponds, to u great extent, upon the num-
Der Of graduates who return for the ex-
ercises. The influence of the alumni Is
a vital factor in undergraduate life and,
If we'll directed. Is of untold benefit to
an institution such as ours. A well-at-
tended commencement intensifies this in
fluence and creates finer spirit and
deeper loyalty.
We alumni perhaps have overlooked
not only the duty but also the impor-
lance and pleasure of returning to Bur-
lington in June. 1t is. of course. obvious
that ones desire to get back increases
in direct proportion to the number of
friends one expects to meet. Consequent
ly. goody attendance in one year means
larger attendances in the years following.
The New York alumni feel that the most
practical way of bringing about the de-
sired result Is to appeal to the perma-
nent organizations Of the various classes
to arrange for periodic class reunions at
commencement time. featuring particu-
larly the third. fifth. tenth. fifteenth
twentieth, etc. anniversaries of gradual
ton.
VIII you not. therefore. communicate
with your class officers and cooperate
with the New York alumni In our eff
forts to effect more enthusiastic gather
ings at commencement? 1t Is unneces.
sary to state that suggestions from any
Of you will be greatly appreciated.

What puzzles us Is that Lorimer Is
