fact annoyed me.

eral war or no general war in Eu-
rope. America can keep up the supply
Of limburger cheese.
The department of agriculture arises
to assure a disheartened nation that
Uncle Sam is equal to the task, and the
fragrant product of the creamery may
remain on the bills of fare throughout
the land regardless Of de-
stroying cruisers and the extraordinary
demands of the imperial German COM
missariat.
In an official bulletin the department
has announced:
There is no reason why some of this
deficiency cannot be made good at
home if the farmers will furnish the
milk"
1t is felt that this statement will
prove at least enlightening, for it ex-
plains that limburger cheese is really
made from milk. Then the bulletin
continues:
"An American cheeses rank, in the
ofihiou VI OAItltA, 1ulN as lllSu us 1OE-
eign cheeses of the same class.
"One Of the most striking instances
Of this is limburger cheese. In quality
and price American cheese of the linn
burger type long ago drove it's foreign
rival out of the market. Very little
foreign limburger has been imported
into this country for many years.
MANY u have chung to the
belief that they We're eating a foreign
cheese. There is no reason at all why
they should not now know that the
American product is exactly as good as
the foreign. Moreover, now that some
of the more expensive types of foreign
cheeses are not likely to reach us for
a long time. the demand for domestic
limburger should be greatly increased"
The bulletin also relates that Swiss
type cheeses of quality equal to the
best of Gruyere and Sweitzer have
been made in the United States and
are sold in competition with the for
eign product.

Submarine OF German Y Type, Which
Is the Kind Uncle Sam Is Building.
6 feet long and % feet in breadth.
Our biggest submarines at the present
time are of only 800 tons, with a length
of 100 feet.
This type is represented by the U
class in the German navy, by the D
class in the British navy and by the
class of which the Nereid is an ex-
ample in the navy of France.
The submarines now on our naval
list are provided with from two to
four tubes for discharging torpedoes.
The newly planned boat is to have ten
tubes. six of them fixed and four set
on pivots. Four will be in the bow
under the forward rudders and two
i'll the stern. The four pivoted tubes
will be on the deck. so arranged as to
discharge torpedoes at almost any an.
gle. whether the craft is on the surface
or submerged.
This is a very remarkable and en-.
tirely new idea.
This seaeoing "submersible" will
have a radius of action of 1000 miles
above water-that is, she will be able
to travel that far before %exhaustino
her fuel. Under water her limit will he
about $500 miles. She will. of course
come up to breathe at intervals.

Anyway, Uncle Sam is not going to
take any chances and is going to build
a 'supersubmarine," and it will be a
leader in its class. Congress has just
appropriated the money to pay for it.
1t will be the first submersible fighting
boat of its type ever built for the
American navy and will surpass in size
and other respects any craft Of the
kind thus far constructed abroad. With

that they are unable to deposit $1,000
Immediately.
while the limit of deposits which an
individual may have in the system is
increased from $500 to $1,000 by the
bill. only 5000 is interest bearing. Be
fore any ion-interest bearing deposits
can be received the department must
prepare and issue a new set of certifi-
Gates and books. Work on these is be-
ing rushed, however. and they will be
ready for issue with the least possible
delay.
"When these new certificates are
ready an individual may deposit $1,000
at II time. one-half of which will
draw interest.
while the new bill fixes the limit Of
individual accounts at $1,000, patrons
of the system may purchase postal saw

six months. For this purpose both the
interest bearing and non-interest bear
ing deposits will be available. Postal
savings bonds pay 21a per cent"

each trip straddling a wheel track, is
usually sufficient to fill the ruts and
smooth the surface. If necessary, the
road should be dragged after every
bad spell of weather, when the soil is
in proper condition to puddle well and
still not adhere to the drag. If the
road is very bad, it may be dragged
wet and again when it begins to dry
out. A few trips over the road will
give the operator an idea as to the
best time to drag. Drag at all sea-
sons, but do not drag dry road
The slope or crown of an earth
road should be about / inch to the
foot. If the crown becomes too high,
it may be reduced by dragging toward
the ditch instead of from it. If the
drag cuts too much, shorten the hitch
and change your position on the drag.
If it is necessary to protect the face
of the drag with strip of iron, it
should be placed flush with the edge
of the drag and not projecting. A
cutting edge should be avoided, as the
main object in dragging is to smear
the damp soil into position.-Weekly

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS
OF THE DEMOCRATS

The Democrats propose TO issue a
campaign handbook citing alleged
achievements Of the party In the
estimation Of the people, there are
four achievements to be credited--or
perhaps charged is the better word -
70 the party in power. The first
achievement" is the Underwood
tariff law. This law has closed
thousands Of factories, reduced
hours in others, set at idleness
more than a million men and brought
stagnation to the business world. II
doesn't pretend TO be a protective
measure. More than that, President
Wilson, in his message Of September
4, virtually eonfesses to Congress that
the Underwood law has failed in its
primary purpose Of raising revenue
for the Government at a time when
the country was at absolute peace.
The second achievement" is the
banking and currency law. 1t has
been on the statute books since De
cember, 1913, but ii is not yet in
operation. There are three possible
reasons for this. There is either
something wrong with the law, or
there is something wrong with those
who are to administer it, or the adj
ministration does not dare put ii into
operation long before election for fear
it will be demonstrated as big a fail
ure as the Underwood tariff law.
The third achievement" is the re-
peal by the Democrats of the Panama
free tolls, thus repudiating the plat
form of their party, the Presidents
own public pledge and the expressed
will of an overwhelming majority of
the American people.
The fourth achievement" is the
proposed appropriation by this Con-
gress of a hundred million dollars
more than was appropriated by the
last Republican Congress, and yet
that Congress was bitterly condemned
in the Baltimore platform for its ex-
travagance.
Does the President or anyone Of his
party leaders think for minute the
American people will not distinguish
between real achievements and simply
running amuck?

YOUNG MEN AND THE PARTY

The White River junction Land
mark is grieved that SO little atten-
ton has been paid by the Republican
party to the young men, citing the
case in the town Of Hartford where no
young men were chosen to any of the
conventions. II further strengthens
its position be declaring that at the
Second District convention only two
young men, apparently under % years
of age, were there as delegates As
far as the White River Junction con-
vention is concerned we fear that the
editor was near sighted as there were
a lot of young men in that now
famous convention. Undoubtedly some
were nearer so than 81, but there was
a good sprinkling of young men there
and very few Of the politicians that
one usually sees al such gatherings.
And it is to their credit that some of
these young men took an active part
in the deliberations Of the gathering.
In the reorganization of the Repub-
lean state committee the young men
composed the majority Of that body
and the youngest member, Stanley c.
Wilson Of Chelsea, is the new chair
man. He is hustling political work
er and will be ably backed up by the
new secretary J. Rolfe Searles Of St.
Johnsbury. The latter is one OF the
scale towns live wires and has had
considerable experience in previous
campaigns. The young men Of Yer
mont are not only recognized By the
Republican party, but they are well
recognized in the choice Of such active
workers as Mr.. Wilson and NJ.

SENATOR DILLINGHAM'S CAM
PAIGN

The campaign carried on by Sen
ator Dillingham;, for reelection to The
United States Senate from the Stat,
of Vermont, has been almost unique
in this day of frenzied politics. He
early announced himself as a candi
date of the Republican party-tht
party which had honored him with the
nomination three times in the past
and again a few days ago. He has
all along conducted a quiet, gentle
manly campaign, not uttering one
word against any of his possible adj
versaries. He has disproven conclus-
lively some of the things with which
his adversaries have charged him
others are too absurd for notice, but
in all he has not said a discourteous
word
On the other hand, his chief oppon-
ent, former Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Charles A. Prouty, has re-
sorted to peculiar methods, to put il
mildly, attempting to further his de-
sire to replace Senator Dillingham;
Mr.. Prouty is willing to take the NOM
ination from any or all parties, and
therefore does not definitely represent
any Of the schools of political thought
in this country, of today.
No man can use some of the meth
DDS of attack, to which Senator Dill
bingham has been subjected, without
having the boomerang react on the
offender And just these methods
combined with the courteous handling
of the attacks by the senior Senator
from Vermont, will probably bring
Senator Dillingham; many votes. The
disposition to discredit man of Sem
ator Dillingham's well-known charac-
ter, and to say that Vermonters who
favor him are not in sympathy with
the effort to elevate society and ben
eft humanity, is not campaign meth
cd that will bring the user many votes
from intelligent persons.-Boston Ad-
vertiser.

WHY A WAR TAX?
L. S. at Peace With the World, Still
Democrats Would Raise War Tax

Democrats Would Raise War Tax
Washington, Sept. 22-"With the
industries of the country largely par
alyzed and labor out of work, it is no
time to impose additional taxes, and
taxes, too which are enetirely unnec-
cessary," declared James R. Mann
Republican Minority Leader of the
House of Representatives, in state
ment today.
Congressman Mann's statement is
regarded as an important utterance in
view of the fight the Republican
Minority is making in both House and
Senate to prevent the Democratic
Majority from imposing so-called
war" tax on the people in addition
to their other burdens of taxation, at
a time when this country is at paece
with all the world.
"There is no need to put new taxes
on the people at this time" Mr.. Mann
asserts. while there may be a slight
falling off in customs receipts during
the European war, that can easily be
more than met by proper government
al economy. The war in Europe may
be over soon and the treasury can
meet the expenses of the government
without difficulty for long time to
come if it draws on the government
money now deposited in the banks.
Much of the money already appropri-
ated need not be used for the present
if the President will direct the depart
ments to practice economy. There are
many things which can wait over.
Temporary delay in many cases will
be no injury.
"For the seven months Of this year
ending with July 81, before the war
began, our imports from foreign coun-
tries were 122 million dollars more
than they were for the same period
last year, while our exports were 1875
million dollars less. That is caused by
the Underwood tariff. The balance Of
trade in our favor for these seven
months in this year was 60 million
dollars. For the same seven months
last year, the balance of trade in our
favor was 30S million dollars. This
shows a falling of in the balance Of
trade in our favor in seven months
before the war commenced of 24S mill
lion dollars. That is equivalent to a
demand on US of PAS million dollars
in gold. That is one Of the main
troubles with the country now and is
the result Of the new tariff law.
IF we were manufacturing the
goods we use instead Of importing
them. we would have prosperity, and
if we had a sufficiently high import
duty on the goods we bring in from
abroad, we would have sufficient rev.
enue without question. What we need
now is economy and not new taxes.
What we have under the Democratic
administration is extravaganza and
additional taxation"
