Have a care About Pensions

We note that one of the bills
passed by the house that is still be-
fore the senate, is one to pension
widows and the minor children of
veterans of the Spanish War and
Philippine Insurrection. We hope
the bill will not be allowed to pass
unless it provides that only widows
and minor children of a man who
was married and a father at the time
he entered the war shall be entitled
to pension. A woman who marries
man after he has returned from
war and been discharged from ser
vice deserves no pension and to
make it possible for such women to
get pensions is only to continue the
disgracefuI system of robbery car
ried on under present pension laws.
All the people will be glad to see
any woman whose husband left her
to serve his country properly cared
for by the government but they hope
to be delivered from the tremendous
frauds perpetrated in the name of
widows of veterans of the past quar-
ter of a century.

A large proportion of the citizens
of the state will endorse the con-
solidation of the two customs dis
tricts of Vermont into one, the same
as it used to be. 1t reduces the
federal jobs for Vermonters and
Newport and Burlington do not like
being dismantled as the chief port
of their district but the change will
not have serious effect on either
place. One collector is enough for
Vermont and he will be obliged to
serve for much less money than
either of the districts paid under
"the good old times"

All farmers of Caledonia and ad-
joining counties should attend the
meeting to be held in st. Johnsbury
on Dec. 80, when representatives of
the Boston Chamber of Commerce
will be present to confer regarding
the production and marketing Of
dairy products. We understand
this meeting means more than the
selling of milk in Boston markets
and includes the whole dairying bust
ness and more profitable and intelli-
gent marketing of the products. The
meeting is open to all farmers re-
gardless of where they market their
milk.

Compulsory Supervision.

The head of New Hampshire's ed
ucational system is demanding COM
pulsory supervision of public schools
the same as the educational COM
mission of Vermont has done. Su-
perintendent H. c. Morrison, one
of the best educational authorities
of New England, states:
The wisdom of supervised schools
has appealed to those charged with
responsibility to such an extent that
nearly four-fifths of the school chill
dren in the state are in schools
which are under supervision. But
this includes all of the cities and
the larger towns, while the super
vision plan was, originally, and is
still, aimed to improve conditions in
the small rural, or semi-rural COM
munities. Unfortunately, of the lat
ter class but 80 per cent of the en-
rolled pupils have the advantage of
skilled supervision.
The law already requires that pa
rents and guardians must give their
children, or wards, school advan-
tages. The state, in mere justice,
ought TO prOVlue LnaL the ScnOOlS 10
which the children must go shall be
efficient. Again, it is unfair to the
child reared in a rural community
to suffer the handicap of a poor
training and later be required to
meet in life's competition the more
fortunate child which enjoyed ade-
quate school privileges. The rural
communities are as much entitled to
good educational advantages as are
the cities and larger towns.

 The fact that Al G. Field has been arranged with to bring his minstrel back to Hot Springs ia March is the first direct result of years of labor Manager Frank Head of the Audito. rum has expended in an effort to se- cure amusement attractions for the mid season in Hot Springs
 As the theater-goer well knows. the bulk Of the big attractions come south in what is termed the cotton season, ' or beginning in early November and strnging along through the holiday season and January.
 Hot Springs patronage for first class attractions would be unmeas- urably advanced In February and March when Che city is filled with visitors seeking amusement Manager Head has urged this, on theatrical managers. but the lack of other cities Of a similar situation, has made the securing of late attractions almost inn possible

.cANTAloupEs ARE
 SHOWING ABOVE GROUND
The Harper Gardens Fashioned a Ia Japanese Give Promise of Be-
 coming Money Makers

Taking up the Japanese manner Of gardening, and applying it to can taloupes, has led Albert Harper. of Mesa, to the belief that he can pro- duce the netted melons when the price is high enough to pay him well for all his trouble in nursing the tender shoots, through the first few weeks of their existence.
 The cantaloupe seed deposited in the soil a few days ago, are now throwing up healthy shoots that have thus far not seemed to notice the chilly mornings. They ale well pro- tected by the Japanese method. A heavy border was made with "N'' on the north side of the rows run ming east and west. A large sized newspaper is spread across a willow with the bent after the fashion of wagon bows. The north side of the little house is closed by being cov- cred with dirt, but the south eX-
 posture is open so that the sun may peek in on the little plant at any time from o'clock in the morn ing, and until o'clock in the after noon The plants thus far have been well protected and unless an extraor dinary cold snap comes within the next few days, MT. Harper believes tEat he is on the road to success as melon grower. He has a Japanese in his employ who has assisted in working out the plan of protection. The Japanese gardeners have d means of protecting early tomato plants and early watermelons but so
 far as is known. this is the earliest that cantaloupes have been planted in the open field.
 Aside from having the newspaper protection and the wall of dirt on all sides excepting the south, the patch is located in the wormest winter spot in the valley. The tomato vines re- main green and the cotton plants
 that have not been cut down are blooming and starting on next year S crop.
 The patch contains a total of two acres and practically all the plants are coming up.
