We have often wondered what
that delightful word "eelat"
might mean. But we think we
know now. It's the thing with
which the late Turkish ministry
resigned.
1t is to be hoped that Bat Nell

King.
Is it worse crime for a bandit
to kill a cop than for an employer
to have such insufficient fire pro-
lection in his factory that one of
his employees is burned to death?
Billie Burke says jealousy Isl

right, Billie, but what is it when
a woman has it?

PAGE VOCATIONAL BILL
Senate Adjourns Without Taking
Action.

Washington, Jan. 27.-After a day
of debate between friends of the ri
val agricultural extension bills in the
Senate, that body adjourned tonight
without having acted upon the pro-
posed legislation by which federal
aid would be given to vocational and
agricultural work throughout the
country. Senator Page of Vermont
backing the bill which he has had
before the Senate since early in 1911,
held the floor through much of the
day against Senator Hoke Smith Of
Georgia, sponsor for the bill which
passed the House under the leader
ship of Congressman Lever of South
Carolina.
As a substitute for the Smith-Lever
bill, Senator Page offered a revised
form OF his own measure. 1t embrac-
ed much of the languages of the
Smith-LeVer bill, but introduced
plans for federal land invocational
school training not embraced in the
other measure. When the Senate
adjourned it was with the expecta-
ton that the feht would be resumed
Wednesday.
A protest from Henry 5. Pritchard
of the Carnegie foundation OF New
York, against the Page bill. was
presented by Senator Root. Mr..
Pritchard declared the measure
would commit the government to
principles of local educational work
which might result in an endless de-
mand for federal assistance for local
schools.

To Help Our Farmers.

The plan to have a skilled agricul-
turist work in the Windham county
field the next two years deserves the
hearty support and cooperation Of
every farmer and every business man
in the county. In all the talk about
the solution of the problem of high
living the one answer is increased
production on the farms. We may
increase the production by getting
more people to live on the farms. but
quicker and more direct returns will
be obtained by having people now
on the farms increase their output
through adoption Of improved meth
DDS. The cooperation of the agricul-
tural department in Washington and
the council of grain exchange in
Chicago assures the payment of more
than half Of the necessary expense,
estimated at $4,000 a year With the
aid now offered from these two sourc
es Windham county would show a
lack OF public spirit If it failed to go
ahead with the project. The farm
creates values and is the true basis
of prosperity. AS long as urban pop
ulation increases three times as fast
as rural population prices Of food
commodities will remain high. The
effort to increase the productivity
Of the Windham county farms does
not look to us like an experiment,
but like an investment that Is sure
TO bring good returns.
In this connection a good suggest
ion is made. to the effect that the
Valley fair Join in the movement by
Offering special prizes for farm pro
ducts to be exhibited each season at
the annual fall fair. The prizes
might be divided into classes for
boys and girls Of different ages. Such
exhibits brought together in compe-
tition would arouse great interest.
and would encourage the young PEG
pie on the farms ID renewed efforts.
in which they would have the advice
and assistance OF the agricultural
expert The fair in this way could
do something to foster agriculture.
and az the same time reap value for
itself far beyond the expenditure for
the prizes.-Brattleboro Phoenix
