COOPERATIVE FARMING

In this age of cooperation, in which
manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests have attained wonderful develop
ment and success by merging their re-
sources, it is not to be wondered at
that cooperation has slowly but inev-
itably wended its way into rural life.
The old method of individualism is
gradually giving way to the co-opera-
tive spirit and the result is greatly
reduced cost of living and lessened ex-
pense Of farming.
Vermont farmers are leading the
cooperative movement and it is grad
ually being extended into every fea-
ture of community life.

FARM FACTS

Help to organize rural life and
make the country better place in
which to live.
The problem that confronts the
farmer next in Importance to distri-
button is diversifcation.
Agriculture has gone through two
thousand years Of evolution and is
still in an experimental age.
Over production is the stumbling
block, and systematic marketing the
stepping stone Of agriculture.
1t is the duty Of every farmer to
see that his wife is supplied with ey-
cry equipment to tighten her labors.
To eliminate waste and inefliciency
in marketing, the farmer should keep
in close touch with market conditions.

the fact that the President Of the
United States, the Vice President and
Secretary Of State were all total alb
stainers, and that by actual roll OF
both houses of congress there were
more total abstainers than in any pre-
vious congress. That Russia, Germ
any, Belgium, England, and France
had suppressed the sale Of liquor dur
ing the war and remarked If prohibi-
ton is good in time Of war il is better
in time of peace. To give women the

why the National Liquor Dealers
association is spending hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in fighting the
woman suffrage movement.

STATE REPUBLICANS
WIN NOTABLE VICTORY
Gates and the Rest of the Ticket
Elected. Senator Dillingham; is Re-
Elected by Majority of Over 1000

With only IL towns missing ans
with the state vote practically com
plete, the result Of Tuesdays election
shows sweeping Republican victory
n Vermont
Senator William r. Dillingham; was
reelected by majority of over 1000
votes, and the missing towns are eer-
tain to increase that majority rather
than diminish it. The senator carried
every county in the state with the ey-
ception Of Chittenden, Orleans and
Grand Isle, even Essex County giving
him good working majority.
Rutland, Windham, Windsor, Ben
nington, Washington, Orange, Addi-
son, mad even Essex count ygave Dill
lingham good majorities, the vote be-
ing close in Caledonia, Franklin and
Lamoille counties, which he carried,
Prouty carrying Chittenden by mar
row margin.
The Gates majority shows on the
face of the returns as about 10000,
but this is likely to be increased when
the results from the missing towns,
Barre city, Brattleboro and
others. Gates and Dillingham; will
poll about the same number Of votes
with the advantage in favor of Dill
lingham.
Congressman Frank l.. Greene Of
the first district, received nearly
twice as many votes as both of his
opponents, his majority being in the
vicinity of $500.
Col. Porter H. Dale, also surprised
al prophets and political dopesters by
winning a substantial victory in the
second congressional district, being
elected over both his opponents by
majority of over 4,700. Next to
'routy's small majority in Orleans
'ounty, Col. Dales strength was the
of the east side situation.
Rutland county ranked up among
he leading Republican counties of the
tate, not only giving Dillingham; and
he state ticket a big majority, but
lecting the county ticket clear down
he line.

Motor Cars Furnish Power to Run
Entire City.
(From Popular Mechanics.)

When necessity requires it, an auto
mobile may be set to the performance
of functions far outside the field for
which it was primarily intended. This
was strikingly demonstrated at Meri-
dian, Miss, when for several days the
whole town was literally run by mo-
tor cars. A boiler explosion in the
power plant which supplied the city
with electric energy ended in the clos
ing down of practically every manu-
featuring house in the place. Business
was at complete standstill with scant
hope of being rejuvenated for some
time. when the superintendent of a
factory conceived the idea of harness.
ing his automobile and using its mo-
tive power for operating the COM
pany's machinery. The experiment
proved successful and it was only a
matter of few hours until almost
every automobile in the town had been
turned to like use. Newspaper pres
ses which had remained stationary
throughout the trouble, were turned
by motor cars. In practically every
business institution where power was
required, an automobile was hitched
to the machinery and work started.

The Public Defender Movement
Timely Agitation of a Momentous
Problem Under Way.

Thinking men and women who
have studied the question of right
and justice in the courts of this coun-
try, will hail with delight, the pres
ent agitation, nationwide in scope,
relative to a Public Defender, this
movement having its origin in Los
Angeles.
The essential basis of the Public
Defender movement is just this-if a
Prosecutor is needed to see that the
criminal and the guilty are to be pun
ished-then by the same token Pub
lie Defender is needed to see that
those who are unjustly accused shall
not be -roaded"-whether justice
is served or not.
Court records are replete with
cases where innocent parties have
been condemned, through merciless
"third degree" methods, and the eff
forts of a Prosecuting Attorney, who
strikes to make record; and who is
we'll supported by the political par
ties behind him.
Crime should be punished-no gain
saying that fact, and the Prosecutor
is necessary-but for the man or wo-
man who, through some vagerie of
fate, is enmeshed in the coils of the
law-without friends, without hope,
should also have a representative at
court to see that justice is done.
