worry man much who is assured by a
staunch following and statewide
endorsement Waterbury Record.
Dunnett May Run.
ST. Johnsbury may have a candidate
for congressman to succeed Congress-
man Plumley. Many people from all
parts of the district are urging the
Hon. Alexander Dunnett to become
candidate. While he has not an
nouncei his decision it seems probable
he may favorably consider the appeal
and enter the field. At any rate people
need not hurry about pledging their
support as developments are still
possible.-St. Johnsbury Caledonian.
From Cur Lieutenant Governor
There is tendency of the rank and
file of the Republicans and Progress
sives to get together in spite Of the
vociferous shoutings of alleged leaders
who are crazy to have them join but
who want to hold the tie that binds.
1t may be that the two parties can
get together but the longtime leaders
of the Republican party should know
that if they do it won't be under the
old board of directors. Some of the
Progressive leaders may we'll learn the
same lesson Banner.
How was Gibson Chosen?
The Progressives on the east side of
the state have been among the strong
est advocates Of the direct primary
nomination. E. w. Gibson of Brattle-
horo has been the leader of the Pro-
gressive movement in the second
congressional district. We do not find
that the direct primary has been
resorted to in selecting a nominee for
the position in congress to be vacated
! by Frank Plumley. The progressive
leaders announce that E. w. Gibson will
be such candidate How can they
explain this?-Rutland News.
The Advance.
Arthur F. Stone, editor of the
Advance has. it is understood, rendered
his resignation. and it is somewhat of a
question just what will be done
Mr.. Stone in an editorial last week
admitted that not all Of the 20, 900
Progressives in Vermont had come
! forward with the monetary considera-
| ton which is always necessary for the
successful operation of any enterprise
/ 1t is rumored that the Advance may
suspend publication, and If true it is to
be regretted as Mr. Stone is an able
editor and the Advance under his
leadership could not be otherwise than
an influential factor in the shaping of
Progressive Party affairs within the
state If the party itself had more
men of his callbre and less of Mr..
Thompson's to espouse its cause it
would have more prestige among really
progressive people.-Northfield News
Why Don't You Ask Your Uncle Sam?
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield. O., Herbert
Quick, the editor. says that we citizens
pay our scientists and experts but few
of US use them as we might. There is
not worm, bug, blight. disease,
or problem Of the soil which is not
studied by these hired men of ours and
about which they are not anxious to
tell US. Mr.. Quick goes on in part as
follows:
cat the United States department
Of agriculture in Washington almost
any question will be answered free of
charge In such cases not even q
stamp is required for reply. They will
examine diseased plants and tell what
the remedy is. if there is one. Some
one has said that the way to tell a
toadstool from a mushroom is to eat
tiff you die it's a toadstool ; but these
experts will save you the trouble OF
dying, and tell you in case of doubt, il
you will send them the specimen.
1.-The number of things an observan1
farmer-eSpeciallya young One-Wants
to know is simply illirnitable. And he
can be sure that if there is an answer
it will be sent him. The country
teacher who wants to ruralize hel
rural school might we'll ask for these
> problems to be brought to the schoo
,, and sent thus to the experts. Such :
policy will do much to bring thu
government closer to the farms, and t,
make the pupils feel that it is reall!
their government.
: The Community Church.
There is an ecclesiastical organization
now existent at Glover. Vermont
known as ''The Community Church.

tian creeds. thus doing away with tn
1 old. incompetent sectarianism idea

concerned.
Its sole advantage, however, is no
