Imagine our surprise in reading
recent item about the California legis-
lature to learn that the session of that
body was so lengthy that some people
thought it would never adjourn. Some
of the bills becoming law there are al
ready on the statute books of Vermont
and still we are told California is such
a progressive state. Our surprise is
occasioned from the fact that we are
told Vermont's legislature, controlled
by the r epublicans, is away behind
other states. Well, California is the
only state we believe where the state
government is entirely in the hands OF
the Progressives. Governor johnson
and the Progressives dominated legis
lation and the legislature and yet little
old Republican-ridden Vermont is no
so bad in comparison in many ways
Over 1000 bills were introduced il
their legislature and over 800 becam
law. Appropriations were over $13,
250,00c.

The Most Valuable Kind of Cow.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, contributor shows how the
high butter-producing COW is being de-
veloped on many farms. To start
right, such cows should be sired by a
sire from a COW that had the milking
habit, and the farther back this line
of breeding has been carried, the bet
ter. Following is an extract:
Farmers want cow that has a ca
pacity for five hundred pounds of but
ter-fat in one year. 1t can be done,
and is being done. A cow bred for
butter-fat production can produce
about three times as much butter-fat
from liberal, well-balanced ration as
the average COW when she is given full
opportunity to do her best. If the
milk from the average cow of the but
ter breeds manufactured into butter
and by-products of the milk is worth
$75 in one year, the milk from the cow
with the fve-hundred- pound butter-fat
record is worth 1925, and if she is a
pure bred COW her calf when weaned
from the milk food is worth at least
from $50 to 500 more, m aking the
gross receipts from the COW close te
$780,"

Planning for Corn Show Next Fall.

The Vermont Corn show held for two
years is already planning for it's third
show next fall at Windsor. 1t is said
this show excels anything in New Eng
land outside of the showing of the New
England Corn Exposition in Boston
and many think it equals that show.
The dates set are November 5, 6, and

for particulars. The object of the
corn show is to promote and encourage
an increased production of corn and
other crops in Vermont at the largest
net profit per acre, by calling attention
to the result from the practicing of
better methods. The exhibition will
be made a real co operative undertake
ing, held not only to call attention to
the possibilities in Vermont for the
growing of corn, but to encourage ag-
ricultural pursuits among the young
people of the state. Glasses have
been arranged to include exhibits of
both apples and potatoes this year.
Interesting demonstrations of apple
packing and the cooking of corn and
potato dishes will be held and ex.
! planned. Juvenile and adult corn she'll

elsewhere that he and another attor-
ney, Graham of Bellows Falls, have

a great service by determining whether
the present schedule of rates and tolls

The Governors New Task.

An interesting piece of news comes
by way of Montpelier-interesting be-
cause it touches upon a condition which
is not altogether confined to the section
mentioned in the new item. 1t is to
the effect that residents Of Orleans,
Essex and Caledonia counties have pc
titioned Governor Fletcher to take
steps to secure for the people of that
region reasonable telephone rates and
suitable service. The Passumpsic Tel
ephone company, which is alleged to
/ be a subsidiary of the New England
Telephone and Telegraph company,
and which has bought up a number of
| Independent telephone lines lately, has
advanced rates some fifty cents a
month, while the service is complained
of as deteriorating. The people con-
cerned appeal to the governor in the
hope that he may bring about change
for the better in their behalf.
This indicates possible new task
for Governor Fletcher. Being thus ap
pealed to, he would fall short of his
duty to the state if he did not look int
the matter with view to determining
whether or not the petition above re
ferred to is reasonably based. Judging
from his record thus far, the Governo
would not be satisfied with a superficial
investigation of telephone conditions
and if he discovers ''just cause ant
provocation" for taking a hand in tn
telephone situation and suggestin,
certain courses of action to the Publ
, Service commission, it is safe to sa
. he may be depended on to go at it wit
the same fearlessness and regard fo
the common interests as have charac
terized certain other steps he ha
: taken since assuming the gubernator
+ al chair.-Ludlow Tribune.

DECORATION DAY.

Friday is Decoration day. The day
means little, apparently, to many Amer
leans of this generation. yet without
tor without the cause that created
the day-the very person who uses his
so-called elderly" with which to
debauch this national funeral day,
might not be able to boast of his ma
TONS greatness and splendor.
1t is disheartening to the veteran
and disquieting to the thinking citizen
to see our American youth displaying
so little interest in this day of mem.
cries. We celebrate no day in the his
tory of our nation which means more,
which is so rich in splendid possibilities
and so sacred to memory. 1t is the
only day set aside for, or that In any
way especially recalls to mind, our
great civil war and yet comparatively
few people think Of it as anything but
amusement uppermost.
1t has truly been said that the dan
ger to the stability of our nation does
not lie in immigration, or the great
white plague, or any of these so-called
national questions, but in the apathy
and fckleness of our young people.
They place pleasure before duty all
too often.
We admonish parents to explain the
great significance and meaning of Dec
Grafton day to children that they may
catch bit of that enthusiastic patriot
ism which comes from comprehension.
1t is not so much for the few remain.
ing veterans we plead this interest,
though they deserve it, but it is for
the memory of those gone before, and
the cause for which they fought, we
ask your thought on Friday.
