SLIT SKIRT

Newest, Necessary Craze for
Present Day Women is the
Colored Wig Of Green
or Purple.
Thy Gertrude Gordon. Written for the

United FT6SS.I
NEW YORK, March 5.-"Weegs,
weegs! OF a surety they will be worn.
Red and blue and purple and, oh zej
beautiful green. But only in re even
ing-nevair in ze day.
With this statement Nine. Henri
Joire, sister-in-law and representative
here of Paquin. said the last word to-
day as to colored wigs. Some Amerl-
can women may doubt that this new
freak of fashion will be adopted, but
Nine. Joire, as an authority, said she
could assure them that they would
soon be wearing colored wigs just as
they took to slit skirts, And men
tioning slits, opened another cues
ton which Nine. Joire settled.
"Milady will show her leg no more,
said Nine Joire, and then in her rich
French accent she sounded the death
knell of the slit skirt.
1T is gone-like breath--pouf-it

/ IKE skirts are flat front and back and
have the gathered drapery at the side
and under the knees. See.' and she
showed her own skirt.
Just below the knees it was caught
into folds which must have made the
skirt at least three yards wide around
the bottom. Not a suspicion Of slit
or slash was there and the front
] and back panels of the gown were

FERTILIZER LAW
 AND ITS BENEFITS
 BY JOHN H. PAGE, Commissioner of Agriculture.

The fertlllZer law SudI oii.ooo "
 farmer the percentages of plant 1oo' represented on the tag and IS th' only proper method of determining the value of the fertilizer. II you decide that you want to use commef- cial fertilizer, be sure that you con- sider we'll the guaranteed anaiysls We have inspectors on the roao whose duty it is to take samples oi the various shipments of fertilizer made into all parts of the state The law directs the inspector Ill the nerformance of his duty and is very clear on the matter of taking sam pies.
 This feature of the law as well as the laws making appropriations TOT enforcement, limits the department to making analysis of only those samples taken by the inspector II they are taken properly.
 By this means We have been enapl- ed to insure the consumer that he IS getting the amount of plant food guaranteed analysis. The companies are required under the law to send notice of each shipment to the de- partment, and the inspectors are inn mediately informed as to where the shipment was directed so that we may keep up with every sale of ferti- lizer made in the state.
 When the inspector sends in his samples we have an analysis made in the manner prescribed by the law and compare it with the analysis as guaranteed by the company who sold the goods. We also keep complete record of all analysis so that we may know at any time how we'll the standard is kept up and for the pub lie information.
 I am especially anxious that tn: farmers who do use commercial ferti AiAO1, 1AioI HI I140uIoCANCo OA WudI Ii meant by the analysis and grade The analysis shows the percentage o plant food contained in the fertilizer and since it is the plant food you ar buying, you should know that tn greater the percentage of plant foot the better the fertilizer. The highe the grade of fertilizer, the better th, fertilizer, generally speaking. 1 high grade fertilizer should have a least 10 per cent phosphoric acid, per cent nitrogen, and 3 per cen potash. A standard grade shoul have at least g per cent phosphori acid, 1:65 per cent nitrogen, pc cent potash Anything below 9-1: 6 -2 is low grade These percentage represent the standard, but if ..h percentages are equal in commercial value to what the law says eacl grade shall be, the grade does no change. For example, phosphori acid and potash are equal in value and one per cent could be taken of the percentage of phosphoric aci and added to the potash and i would not change the grade, becaus they are of equal commercial value Nitrogen is worth four times a much as potash and phosphoric aci and runs up the grade of the fertili ger. Write for tn bulletin on fertilizer and use it in studying the problem

VERMONTERS WHO DEVELOPED

ministry--causes double sorrow to the
people in their native state, first he

cause they had not given their Iirect
usefulness to the old state. And vet,
it is reasonable to say that perhaps
neither Judge Charles A. Willard nor
Rev. DIR. George B. Spalding would have
reached his high stage Of usefulness If
he had remained in Vermont, and so the
world would have been the poorer h.d

old state. Therefore, the second cause
of sorrow sinks into insignifrauce, and,

United States Express company will
government, this will mean its transfer
from a regime of measurable efficiency.
The United States government performs
no business efficiently, whether it be a
printing office, in the postoffice, in the
building of ships, or in the making of
postage stamps. It's conduct in the
lighthouse is woefully archaic. 1t
touches nothing except to impart di-
latoriness and wastefulness.
Now the inefficiency of government
operations must be paid for somewhere,
somehow and by somebody. 1t need
not be met by the users of the service.
They will be charged lower rates than
the old express companies, since general
taxation can be relied upon to do all
the rest. And just at present the govern
ment is paying the railroads nothing
for carrying these parcels, a privilege
which the United States Express com.
pany never enjoyed. Competition be-
tween concern which must make ends
meet, and one relieved of any such neces-
sity is somewhat one-sided.
The United States government has
cuHteITeu On lHe Interstate tOiuubFCt
commission authority to regulate rates
of express companies. And its regulat-
ing of railroad rates affords sufficient
evidence that it can do the job drasticsl-
ly enough to meet all possible needs.
And curiously, the interstate commerce
commission is empowered by law to
regulate both the express companies and
the parcel post, since it is the official ad
wiser OF the postmaster general in any
changes he may make under existing
law. We should thus have regulation
regulation in abundance and
regulation that would be adequate.
That, in The Herald's reiterated judg
ment. is as far as the government ought
to go. Its taking over the business only
adds to the complexities of politics, the
number of politicians, the widening of
tot be met in our widely diff
fused taxes and our inevitably increased
cost of living. And it is time we were
giving some heed to such tendencies.

WEEK OPENS
AT $37,9S2.53
Continued from first page.)

five days more remain TO swell the hos
pitai fund. Among the workers as they
started out this morning there was rife
certain spirit of determination to
make the day count well. All were
equipped with renewed vigor and zeal
and it is safe to say that there will be
no slackening of efforts during the five
days to come. Encouraging reports con-
tinue to come in from towns about and
the supper tonight, it is expected, will
develop some interesting information to
the outside towns that are rallying SO
splendidly to aid the cause. Not all of
the energy is to be spent in the outside
field, however, for the workers locally
are planning systematic campaign for
the week that will search the city of
Barre as though with the finest toothed
comb. Every force and factor that can
be mustered to lend impetus to the
movement will be drafted in the cam
paign. 1t is the visionary who believes
now that the fund can be pushed up to
mark far beyond the minimum orig
inally set and the desire to see this thing
accomplished is going a long way to-
ward its realization. Through the week
daily changes will be made on the three
illuminated clocks and people who have
the best interests of the movement at
heart are asked to study the time
pieces and to CONTRIBUTE!
