From the towns of Benson and Hub
bardton come reports of the ravages of
sheep-killing dogs. Despite all that has
been said and urged on this question,
many Vermont towns are harboring and
permitting at large worthless dogs to
the consequent menace and detriment
of the sheep industry. The time was
when the raising of sheep was one of
the principal agricultural activities of
the State 1t might easily be restored,
but dogs at.large and the cultivation of
sheep do not go hand in hand. Vermont
farmers may take their choice, but
they can't have both. 1t ought not to
take the citizens of Vermont long to
determine between the two. Rutland

Better Prospects for Vermont.

While many of the great industrial
centers of the country have been re-
porting dull OF hard times there is no
indication of anything of the kind in
this section of Vermont.
The farmers have had one of the
best sugar seasons in many years, an
average of nearly four pounds to the
tree having been made, and this of
first quality. The price has been high
and the demand so great that the
dealers have been paying cents per
pound for carload lots or better. Other
farm products are in big demand and
prices very nearly on level with last
year.
The local industries are all flourishing,
with very little slowing down of trade.
The general trade reports last week
state conditions are improving and that
the tide has turned. Chief in the list
of reasons for this is the indication for
a bumper wheat crop in this country
and smaller crop elsewhere: Bank
clearances for April were over 500, 900, =
600, greater than in 1918.
Good times are surely coming in spite
of the tariff and war.
This is too big a country and toe
prosperous to go to the demiwows.
Don't lose faith in your State or your
country. Morrisville Messenger.

OBITUARY..

Martha Adelia Smith was born in
New Haven, Vermont, on November
14th, 1886. She grew to womanhood in
her native town where she was a great
favorite on account of her love of good
cheer and gayety. She was very fond
of music and one of her chief pleasures
was singing. Nor did she forget to use
her gift of song in praise of the great
giver.
On September 18th, 1857 in Vermont
she was married to Allen S. Eaton,
and to them were born four children.
In April of 1869 they came to Chicago
and made their first home in haywood,
Ill. While Mr.. Eaton's business called
him farther west, his family lived in
Princeton, H., and Grinell, Iowa, finally
joining him in Russell, Kansas in 1875.
Moving from Russell to Lawrence,
Kansas. in 1888, Mrs. Eaton came with
her husband to Wamego in 1890, where
she has resided ever since.
Through her father Mrs. Eaton traced

another who was prominent in framing

Reincarnated.

The school as 4 civic center having
become overcrowded. it occurred to
some bright mind to advocate the use
of the home as civic center
The home is vacant so large part
of the day that it would seem that the
highest efficiency would put it to some
use other than as a possible place to
sleep in after midnight
This was Immediately done, and the

to the satisfaction of all that every
thing has use.-Iife.

THE GRANGE FIELD
Features of the Work In Various
States.

New York State Grange Has Public
Health Committee-An Ohio Oranges
Educational Work-Grange Position
on Farm Loans.
The oranges in many sections of New
York state (and not alone there) are
cooperating with the farm bureaus,
the farmers institutes and other farm
ers' organizations in carrying forward
the work of lettering the farmers con-
dition and attempting to get for him
his just share of the values produced
on his farm. In one of the northern
counties of the state the farm bureau
is endeavoring to enlighten the farm
/ ers on the necessity of wedding out
their Improbable cows by holding pub
| lie meetings throughout the county,
and every one of these meetings, with
possibly a single exception where there
was no grange, was held in a grange
hall. Farmers institutes also find the
grange halls their most convenient
meeting places. This is simply to say
that the oranges are reaching out more
than they used to in earlier years to
embrace in their activities all farm Or
CARNATIONS and with them to coop
crate for the betterment of agriculture
generally. And perhaps nowhere can
they make their influence more valu-
able and their cooperation more prof
table than in relation to our county
fairs. They are doing this in very
many communities, greatly to the ad-
vantage Of the fairs and to their own
advantage also.

AS the G. A. R. posts turn out on
parade Memorial day you will miss
some of those who were in line last
year and so every year the numbers
continue to diminish. Those who are
still with us ought surely to be proud
of their part in the greatest conflict
of history, which proved conclusively
that government ''for the people, by
the people" was to be striven for and
maintained at any cost, not as indi-
vidual governments but as one grand
whole. How wise they We're, and to
what dignity our nation has risen is
through their efforts in preserving the
Union, which never could have been
with two nations or more, instead of
the one we now have. Doubtless m my
of these men served their country at
a financial loss they could i'll afford
and the pensions they have drawn
since have been very inadequate to re-
pay them for the lose of limbs to say
nothing of disease contracted while in
prison or hospital or the result of
wounds which could not be properly
cared for. Hardships, privations and
exposure were part of the game and
we honor the men who had courage
enough to offer themselves, knowing
as they did what they must endure. -

The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, yet few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick

all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.

placing in jeopardy the lives of all

The New York state grange has
standing committee called the COM
mittee on public health. 1t Is working
in cooperation with the state depart
ment of health, especially in reference
to the prevention of tuberculosis and
the establishment of county tubercu
losis hospitals. At the last meeting of
the state grange this committee pre-
scented an important report, in which 1t
was stated that the rural death rate
was larger than the death rate in
Greater New York. The figures were
1913 for the former and 1871 for the
latter per 1000 population. 1t was
hard for many to believe that this was
so, but it has been confirmed by the
state commissioner of health, who fur
ther says that if the deaths of people
from the country who had gone to city
hospitals for treatment and there died
were accredited to- their place of legal
residence tas they are not now the
death rate in rural districts would be
increased after reckoning also the
deaths Of city people in state hospi-
tails located in the country. The crit
icism has also been made that cities of
G000 population are classified as rural
districts, but the commissioner of
health comes back with the statement
that If only villages of $500 were in
, cluded in the rural districts the death
rate would be reduced by only one
tenth of a point. These are astound-
ing facts.
