More Cattle Needed

The demand for an increase in the
business of cattle raising in this country
is likely to mean that several problems
connected Herewith will have to be
solved before the larger domestic beef
supply is obtained. 1t may be necessary
to get some kind of an understanding as
to marketing conditions, between the
producer, the packer and the people be.
fore many will see the wisdom of tying
up The funds which are involved in cattle
raising. If increased cattle raising is
going to result solely to the profit of the
packer there is no attraction in the re-
sumption of this industry, but with the
assurance of a favorable return for their
time and efforts there is no reason why
the farmers, with proper adjustment of
their business should not be able to raise
their calves for beef. particularly so if
much better quality can be produced
than can be imported. Rutland News.

A Sea Tragedy

Disaster never had more dramatic
setting than last Thursday, when the
steamship "Volturno" of the Canadian
Northern line was burned in mid-ocean.
Answering wireless calls for help, the
steamer "Carmania" and nine other YES
sells reached the sceue. OF the passengers
and crew of the doomed vessel 521 were
saved, but at least 136 lost their lives by
the smashing of the life boats in which
they had sought to escape. For hours
the helpers could give no effectual assist
ance because of the ferceness OF the
waves, and thus the passengers and
crews of ten ships were obliged to watch
the distress and imminent danger OF the
hundreds of people upon the "Volturno"
many of them women and children.
Those who were saved owe their lives
to the wireless outfit of their ship. With
out it, all would have persisted and their
fate would have been unknow n, like that
of those who sailed on the steamship

AS the Girls So the Boys

In speaking of Boys" at the Calvary
Baptist church, Judge H. L. McCunewell
said that the important thing was to
put them in the proper environment.
The best way to bring up good boys
is to bring up good girls. That will give
the right environment. The problems of
civilization are settled by the girls.
Bring up the girls like mother used to
make" and the boys will be all right.
There is always place for new notions
and new fashions. There may be with
regard to girls. But everybody knows
that the right sort of a girl was and is
and always will be modest. There is no
new notion nor new fashion that can
take the place of that old notion and old
fashion.
If there is anything in period that
obscures that innate quality OF good
girls it is simply bit of fog or miasma
that is bound to pass away.
This present period has got a lot of
"problems". But it is going to come
through all right if it holds fast to good
concerning girls. Let the girls grow up
to be such mothers as this generation is
proud of and the boys will be all rig hit

Fletcher Lacks Foresight

If Governor Fletcher is such Progress
sive as recent remarks of Manager
Thompson of the Vermont Progressives
would lead one to infer, why did he APP
point reactionary in the person of ex-
Lieutenant Governor Slack to the vacant
position on the superior court bench. 1t
may be urged that, like his appointm ent
of Charles D. Watson to the public ser
vice commission, he was ignorant of Mr..
Stacks predictions and trend of mind.
But it was his business to know this, for,
should disiluson come, he can not, as in
the case of his recalcitrant mmissioners,
get rid of a reactionary judge by the sim
pie process of taking him by the nap of
the neck and tossing him out. The gov
ernor's hindsight seems to be much BET
ter than his esight.-Enosburg Stand

Presidents Auto Gets Stuck

The closing days Of the stay of the
Wilson family at the simmer capital
were attended by an adventure. Thurs
day afternoon at about 5 o'clock, Mrs.
Wilson and her two daughters, Eleanor
and Margaret, were riding in their auto
mobile over the road leading from Ascut-
NEVILLE to Windsor. Just as the machine
neared the village limits of Windsor it
sank deeply in passing over a sponay
section of the road and the chauffeur
was unable to extricate it.
A passing automobile stopped to rem
der assistance but could not move the
stuck car. The men members of the
two auto parties scurried around and
found two horses which they hitched to
the Wilson auto. After a good old-fash-
ioned urging the horses succeeded in with
drawing the machine and the presidents
family passed on over the hills to Cornish.

Promoting DeCency

. 1.-THE Windsor Club has prohibited the
tango, turkey trot, or any other objec-
tionable dance at the club dances, with
the alternative that the attendance will
be confined to invited guests, unless the
order is carried out.
Mayor Brislin, of Rutland, has put a
ban on the tango, the bunny hug, turkey
trot and like dances. Through the police
department all dance halls have been
posted. "-State News Items.
And the st. Adams Brigade Band to
whom be all honor for its action, has for
hidden the turkey trot and kindred hugs
in the series of dances which it is giving
to replenish the band treasury.
The foregoing incidents, from different
sections of the state, are evidence of a
purpose to promote public decency by
the elimination of the disreputabe dances
in vogue in present-day low and high SC
ciety.
That the action of the managers of the
Sc. Adams band, above referred to was
endorsed by ninety per cent of the
dancers present on the opening night of
the series, is refreshing.
The action taken by the Windsor club,
the st. Adams band, and RutIand's may
or should be followed in all Vermont
towns where this phase of vulgarily
makes IFS appearance.-Eno Stand

Protection of Wild Birds

The new Federal game law, adopted
by Congress to provide more effective
protection to migratory game birds, went
into effect the first day of this month. In
accordance with the provision of the law
the Department of Agriculture has printed
and widely distributed throughout the
country pamphlets containing the com
plete text OF the law, and smaller circu-
lars with brief and condensed extract
of the measure, for the guidance OF the
hunters and of the game wardens and
other authorities whose duty it is to en-
force the new regulations.
By the provisions of the law the United
States is divided into two zones, Zone 1
being the breeding zone and comprising
the states lying wholly or in part north
of latitude 40 and the Ohio river, and
Zone 2-the wintering zone-comErising
the states lying wholly or in part south
of latitude 40 and south of the Ohio riv-
er. Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Cal
ifornia, Nevada, Utah and the southern
states are included in the wintering zone,
while the other states form the breeding
zone.
This year will 60 down into history as
the birds year-the year in which the
lovers of wild life. after a long period of
discouragng efforts to educate the public
on the subject of economic value of birds
finally aroused the nationa Legislature to
the Importance of their interests. Con-
gressional enactments for the conserva-
ton of the birds during he last nine
months surpassed all former action and
marked a record.
First came the law extending Federal
protection to all migratory birds, which
went into effect the first of this month.
Then came another severe blow to the
bid butchers, the passing OF a bill which
forbids the importation of feathers of
wild birds into the United States. Here
after it will be illegal to bring the feath-
ers of wild birds into this country, ex-
sept for educational purposes. By these
humane measures, the saving of bird life
the world over will be incalculable.
