to the low coil. In the couture with
out hat the hair is drawn back from
the face in lines that lift instead of
falling, and the hair pinned in above
the coil. In this couture, too, the
coil is higher.
This latter arrangement of the front
hair, loosely waved about the face
and drawn back. is used with a
French twist at the back of the head
terminating in coil and puffs at the
top. But the hair is very loosely
drawn up at the back with fullness
enough to fill in between the hat brim
and the head. Bandeau trimmings
and underbrim bows are cleverly ar
ranged to help out in this matter of
filling in.
Another noteworthy feature of the
adaptation of hat to hair is evidenced
in the use of malines matching the
hair in color. Facings of shirred ma
line on the underbrims Of hats, il
made in the color of the hair, are
wonderfully effective.
In all the new colffures the hair is
waved and the ears are almost en-
tirely covered And the hair is
brought forward on the cheek when
the couture Is designed for youthful
wearers. Sometimes wave Ia

means of invisible pins. Sometimes a

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-05-09

EARLY in the seasons career of
II style changing, there came an edict
from Paris to the effect that three
quarters of the hair to show" should
govern the shaping and posing of
hats.
Although we have developed much
independence of Partisan edicts, this
particular one has been favorably con-
sidered. The "threequarters of the
hair to show" means that one side of
the face and hair is to be silhouetted
against the hat brim, or at least to
be uncovered by the shape of the
hat.
With this In mind the couture has
risen to the occasion and Is consid-
cred with reference to the hat. The
hair Is waved and, since something
of the front and back and much of
the side must be in evidence, its ar
rangement across the forehead, at
the nape of the neck and at the sides,
are all to be considered in adopting
style with reference to its fitness
for the hat
1t must fit the face of the wearer,
too, and the effort to meet all these
requirements has resulted in a variety
of new coiffures, mostly high, all
waved and, as a rule, attractive.
Women whose length of neck war
rant it may wear the hair in a coil
at the back, more or less low. The
lines of the hair have to be adapted
to the face and their direction con-
trolled for It. In the couture pic
tured here with hat the face will
bear the long sloIing line of the
waved hair from the top OF the head

tional work in appropriating money
to its three institutions of higher
education, but it can be stated that
it is appropriating literally to each
one of them for instruction in the
mechanical arts. that it has appro-
priated to two of them for the train
ing of teachers and two of them for
instruction in agriculture. This is
unnecessary and does not give the
best results to the state. We re-
serve until a future issue discussion
of how less money can bring just
as valuable results for the state, but
we think that President Thomas,
powerful pleader and loyal and
earnest Vermonter that he is, is in
the wrong and we predict that the
final verdict of the people of Yer
mont will be the adoption of the
plan of the educational commission.

That Tax Law.

OF course the tax law abolishing
offsets for debts owing should be
repealed by the coming legislature.
1t has made somebody pay some
taxes on lot of AEpperty that for
merly escaped taxation altogether
and is an abomination that should
not be tolerated. Repeal it Mr..
Lawmaker and make yourself solid
with every man who has had to pay
more taxes under its provisions.
But let's see. This law taxes only
what property a man has in his pos
session, property that he is holding
for the purpose of making a profit
on. He can make just as large a
profit as he is able, nothing or 500
per cent, the state does not inter-
fere. But it does ask him to pay
on an average about one and sew
enty-five hundredths per cent taxes
for the protection the state is CIV
ing him and his property. That
property that Mr.. Young Farmer"
or your "Up-to-date Merchant" is
trying to make money on is located
right in your town and cannot be
hidden from the assessor. But the
man they owe may live in town but
more likely lives outside of Vermont
and cannot be taxed and so real
property right in town escapes from
any taxation.
To the notion that the present law
lis pretty hard on the young far
mer" we would reply that the young
man has taken a title of his prop
erty for the sake of making money.
If he is smart enough to make money
with it he will be able to pay the
taxes on it. If he isn't he ought not
to have the title of the property any
way
The new tax law has increased the
annual tax of this corporation more
than 500 per year but the manage
ment pays the increase willingly be-
cause it feels that it's neighbors, no
matter whether they are a mer-
chant or farmer, are paying on
what property they have in their
possession and we think that is
much fairer. than the old law or
any possible method to be suggested
for IAN honest Offset"

Commissioner of Agriculture E. S.
Brigham makes two very sensible
recommendations in his annual re-
port. One is the use of a state la
bel on dairy products which con-
form to a standard prescribed by the
commissioner of agriculture and the
other is the certifcation of seed po-
tatoes. Both of these would add
dollars to the value of Vermont
products of states without such guar
antees of quality. There is some
question whether or not "agricul-
tural education, institutes, etc." are
worth even the small sum of money
they cost, $8O7.83. Years ago
these institutes furnished about all
the agricultural education and agi-
tation the farmer had but today it
would seem as though a different
method might bring better results.

Kill All Diseased Cattle

If Livestock Commissioner f. L.
Davis is correctly reported in an
interview with the Montpelier Argus,
about 10000 cattle have been test
ed in the state the past year and
between seven and eight per cent
of them condemned and slaughtered.
Aside from this 10000 were tested
privately and to ship outside of the
state and about two per cent of these
we're condemned. This means that
about I, 800 head of cattle were con-
demned, killed and paid for by the
state. The destruction of that num-
Der of diseased cattle seems like
quite an accomplishment but what
per cent of the diseased cattle does
it represent and does it mean the
disease is being really eradicated
from the state?
According to the returns by the
listers of the state there are 334,-
207 head of cattle in Vermont and
according to the livestock commits
sioner, about 10000 of them were
tested. In other words about nine
per cent of the cattle of the state
were tested and six per cent of those
tested were found diseased. Apply
ing the same percentage to all the
cattle of the state there are approx
imately 10000 diseased cattle in the
state. So the state is getting rid of
less than one tenth of its diseased
cattle and leaving a little over nine
tenths of them to spread the disease
and threaten the public health. The
state is not making good progress
in stamping out the disease when it
is promoting it more than nine times
as fast as it is stamping. it out.
1t would not be a difficult matter
to eliminate this disease if the state
would take hold of the work in a
business like way. Assuming there
are approximately 10000 diseased
cattle in the state, the law fixes the
maximum amount to be paid for any
one creature at $50 and if the crea-
ture is diseased the state pays seven
ty-five percent of it's value.
Then allowing the maximum rate
for each diseased creature it would
require $75O,OOO to pay for the cat
tie killed, but the state would have.
whatever income there was from the
disposal of the carcass and hide. So
the net expense would not be large
as one would think at first.
Now if the state has about $780,
900 worth of disease to be eradi-
Gated, the quicker it is done the
cheaper it will be for the state and
the safer for public health. So we
would suggest that the state allow
the owner of cattle to voluntarily
apply for a test, the expense of the
test to be paid by himself and the
value of the cattle diseased paid by
the state, for a space of two years.
At the end of that time the state
shall demand the testing of every
herd that has not already been test
ed and kept free from the disease
and kill every creature responding
" the ISSJ W1InOuI any COuupSnSd-
ton to the owner.
1t might be necessary to borrow
a part of the money to pay for such
a large number of cattle in the next
two years but the interest on the
loan would be much less than the
cost of the increase in the disease.
1t seems to US this would be much
more desirable than present methods
because Vermont could then say it
had purged itself of the disease, a

Caledonia Agricultural Association.

Caledonia Agricultural Association.
Next Saturday promises to be
crucial day for the Caledonia Coun-
ty Farmers Association when the
members meet in ST. Johnsbury to
decide whether or not they will con-
tinue the organization. The asso-
citation apparently has accomplished
great deal of good. Under the di-
rection of the county agent it has
demonstrated to the farmers how
they themselves can produce better
crops at reduced expense, has taught
them how to care for an orchard and
improve the quality of fruit, has
made possible cooperation in the
purchase of fertilizers at much less
cost to the individual and has
brought about the most complete or
ganization of COW testing associa-
tions of any county in the state.
These are large results and we be-
lieve results that every practical
farmer will admit are valuable to
mind the most valuable result is the
enabling of the farmers to adopt the
improved methods for themselves
without an unreasonably large ex-
pense for equipment 1t has shown
them how to use the equipment they
have and apply their labor more adj
vantageously and profitably. 1t has
also interested the business men in
the development and welfare of the
farmer in a very material way. The
business men were very liberal in
their financial support of the under
taking but they cannot be expected
to continue that support unless the
farmers are willing to contribute
their share now that the work has
been successfully started.
We fail to understand the back
wardness of the farmers in this par
ticular. An overwhelming proper
ton of those farmers who have paid
one dollar a year toward the support
of the organization must have got
their money back many fold. That
they should hesitate now to pledge
enough money to continue the en-
ployment of an agent another two
years seems incredible.
Demonstration work has proven
the most valuable form of agricul-
tural education for the adult farmers
who have passed the stage when in
stitutional education is possible. 1t
is the approved method of the coun-
try at large and should not be allow
has done more for the farmers of
this county and at much less loss of
time from the farm than all the
farmers Institutes or extension
schools of the past quarter of cen
fury. 1t is too much to expect that
every one of the LOO farmers of
the county can be brought into the
association, some of them are too
narrow and incompetent to ever
make a striking success for them
selves. But it does seem as though
there should be 1000 of them who
could well afford to pay SIS a year
each for this kind of work and in
struction. If there could be such an
organization with such a fund
pledged for it's support the accom-
plishments of the past two years
might be made to look small when
compared with future benefits. We

they could secure from the govern
ment and the business men they
might be able to begin the testing
of the soils of the county, a thing
that every intelligent farmer be-
lieves necessary.

certainly faces a great opportunity
and we sincerely hope it's friends
