EVOLUTION OF A CRIME.
(f'rom the MONTPELIER JournalD

There have been times in the history
of the world, and even in modern times
when war has been, to large extent
unavoidable, and in such cases. while IL
was greatly to be deplored, it was not
necessarily to be condemned. But war
that has nothing to stand upon, n war
that is very far from necessary, a war,
in a word, that has not the slightest ex-
cuse for being, Is indeed crime against
the civilization of the present age. In
face of all the latter day arguments and
cXhortations in favor OF peace If a gem
eral European war results, this cold
hlooded, useless butchery of millions of
people who have no voice in their de-
cision, has been deCreed by one or two
of the European rulers.
This war started ostensibly by Austria
but in reality by the Vaccinations OF the
German Emperor. will mean destitution
and death TO thousands upon thousands
and scores upon scores of the victims

could be conciliatory, but no regard was
paid to this attitude, for Austria, egged
on by William. was bent ON q cruel war

THE EDUCATIONAL REPORT.

tFrom the st. Johnsbury Caledonianl
a summary of the report submitted to
Governor Fletcher by the Vermont cd
Vocational commission has been made
public While it does no give a COM
plete idea of what the commission has
found and recommended. it does reveal
the wide Investigation MADE and the i'm
portanc. Of the changes proposed in Yer
mont's educational system. Should all
the recommendations he fully considered
by the next Legislature there would bc
little use in calling for q Go-dav session
as the framing Of laws to nut the svs-
TEN into effect could not be LASTLY done.
1t is probable the commission has found
and recommended too much, that the
Legislature will not be able to act on all
the suggestions. But that does not de-
tract from the Importance of the com
MISSIONS work nor relieve the press
from as full and intelligent discussion
OF 1t as possible
The report is bound to arouse very ac-
tive opposition. First the college and
universities OF the State will make an
active fight for the large appropriation
they nave been receiving from the State
Possibly the impression Will be created
that the commission opposes any State
aid to these institutions. 1t does SO far
as the granting of State SCHOLARSHIPS
and direct appropriations are concerned
but 1t suggests that the State have GER
tain forms OF education furnished by the
higher Institutions of the State for a
definite sum, for Instance the education
Of the teachers for Vermont schools.
Tho two remaining normal schools of
the State will, of course, be we'll repre-
scented at the Legislature in a fight to
continue State bcnefCiaries. For
many years II has been realized by
thoughtful persons that the normal
schools We're not worth what they cost
the State but the men back of Them have
succeeded in saving them. The fght will
be renewed this session with the addi-
tional force Of the commissions verdict
Further Capitalization of the public
schools will be opposed to some extent
but there is no question about the SUI
pertority of schools OF suitable size over
small schools with only one or two pu-
pills In class.
Another source of opposition will be
started by the proposed increase OF ex-
ponse of the system proposed by the
commission over the present system
For the year 1918 the State paid for
transportation, supervision normal
schools, universities and colleges teach
ers' meetings, etc, s24l 70. The COM
mission would have the state pay about
$50 900 n year exclusive Of the institu-
tons of higher education. Such Jump
as this Is sure to cause inquiry and hes
itation on the part Of the thrifty.
This article has sought to maize clear
only the objections the plan OF the COM
mission will meet. That Is only one side
of the case There is much that will
appeal to the people in it, but space will
not permit their presentation at this
time. We reserve Until future issues

ROOT CROPS FOR WINTER USE.
The Importance of succulent foods has
previously been mentioned. Root crops
form one of the ideal succulent foods
Root crops are especially valuable to the
poultryman because they give a relatively
big yield from n small area they admit
of easy storing during the winter, they
are easy to seed and are relished by the
bird.
MANGEL-WURTZE BEETS.
Mangel beets are the best because they
give the biggest yield per acre and are
very succulent. The seed should be sown

large enough to warrant it, After they
are two or three inches high they should
be thinned. They should be left no
closer than eight inches in the row.
This large space allows each root to de-
vclop to its maximum size. In order to

vested and fed to the birds in the fall
before frost. a good practice is to cut
them off with a knife about an inch from
the root. Tho root should he dug ana

frost. The ideal way to store mangcl
beets for winter feeding is to nut them
in root cellars. especially designed for
the purpose. In the absence of such a
building they can be stored in n pit os-
pecialIy dug in the ground for such pur-
poses. After the hects are packed in the
pit they can be covered with corn stalks
and these In turn covered with a foot of
soil. They are kept in this condition a
very long time without any danger of

POULTRYMAN'S NECESSARY CROPS
Every poultry keeper. whether he keeps
10 or 800 birds. should make an effort
to grow some crops for his birds. The
amount will depend upon the number of
birds he keeps. Alfalfa should by all
means be grown. Much Of it can be cut

y REPRESENTATIVE.

y = l..
From the Ludlow Trihune)
Some time viii clapse before it becomes
the duty of the several towns to select
the men who are to represent them at
Montpelier next winter; and in this case
AS in some others we might mention-it
is not always the early bird that secures
the worm
In view of the state of mind which pre-
walls all over the State OF Vermont in
connection with STATE expenses, State
courts, and the alleged need of reform In
state policies generally, the choosing Of
a representative is not a task which the
voters should regard lightly. 1t Is ex-
pected that the next Legislature will do
some things worth while to the State Mt
large; but nothing worth while can be
done by men who. for one reason or an
other, are not qualified to represent, in
the halls of legislation. the individual
communities who in the aggregate make
up the State Of Vermont, and whose voice
should be distinctly heard when II comes
to calling the roll on questions Of vital
Importance to the commonwealth.
Let us send to the LEGISLATURE the com
ing winter men who are able to grasp
situations and bring to the decision Of
public questions a sturdy conmmonsense

WHAT OUR NEIGHRORS SAY

mary, Whit Them
trrom the Bellows Falls Times,

fhere is about as much chance of the
Governors calling a special session Of
the Legislature as there is that the moon
will begin presently to rise I'm the west
He and the republican State committee
are saying n few pleasant things in care
fully warded phrases which should not
be taken too seriously by the public.
on July II the committee passed q reso-
luton asking the Governor To call n spa-
cal session at the earliest possible date
for the purpose of enacting direct pri-
mary law and added: And we, the re-
publican State committe, do pledge our
selves to Use our best endeavors to make
said special session as short and inexpen-
sivc as possible" The committee offer
cd to cooperate with the other political
bodies Of the State in drafting a proposed
law to present to the LEGISLATURE. No
other political body has paid any atten-
ton to the offer, and no bill has been
drafted. Commenting on tho situation
the Rutland Herald says that, IAN in
formal canvass of certain members of the
committee indicates that no general
agreement on a primary bill is either
possible or likely"
If the members of the republican com
mittoe cannot agree on bill. what hope
is there that the republicans, democrats
and prOgrcssivcs could agree? Were the
Governor to call special session of the
Legislature, there would be no agreement
in advance, and probably none for a long
time after the session began. Meanwhile
the expense to the State would be $3.50

JEWETT CITY
Scientific Butterfat Testins-Death of Miss Edna Norton, Woman of Mys- tery-SociaI and Personal Notes.

At the Jewett City creamery, by the regular Babcock test, is determined the amount of butterfat in the cream fur nlshed to the creamery by the many patrons in the outlying districts. A sample of each patrons cream is kept from each days supply and preserved by the addition of potassium dichro- mate for two weeks; then the test is made. B. C. Bliss, the buttermaker with a small pipette puts into little bottles with long graduated necks IS cubic centimeters of cream to which is added a like quantity of Sufphuric acid and a small quantity of warm dis titled water. These bottles are placed in a wheel and revolved inside a cast iron case for five minutes at the rate of 1000 revolutions per minute. The motive power is a jet of steam applied to a. set of small buckets on the under side of the wheel, after the manner of the turbine engine. A certain per cent of water is added again and the wheel turned for minute more Then in the graduated neck of the bottles is shown the per cent. of butterfat. The basis of payment for cream is deduced from these tests by the buttermaker.
 twenty per cent. of butterfat is Q good test for average cream from the Eats. A recent test Of a patrons cream showed only 13 per cent. of butterfat; at the same time g. local milk peddler' s milk showed the high mark of 2-5 per cent. of butterfat. In order to bail ance the wheel sample of buttermilk was tested and showed the least possi- ble trace of butterfat, just a shade of color in the top of the tube.
 The local creamery has between 50 and 60 patrons, who were paid 36 cents per pound for butterfat for January which is a fine figure and well in ad- vance of many eastern Connecticut creameries.
 Several of the local farmers have small Babcok test machines for indi- vidual use All the cream furnished to this creamery is separated with the regulation machine separator of some standard make. Years ago, when the creamery was first established, the separation was made in the Cooley creamer. The patrons were then paid by the spaces of cream which the col
