William A. Graustein, milk dealer
in Cambridge, Mass, has filed volun-
tary petition in the United States dis
trict court admitting that he has
debts Of $161, 20S.91 The principal I'M
secured creditor is Charles Spinney of
Middlebury, Vt, who has claim Of $780,
GOO. Presumably Mr.. Spinney represents
numerous Addison county farmers who
sold milk to the man now bankrupt.
There have been several cases in re-
cent years of farmers in this state
being badly stung by milk buyers in
the large cities. These buyers at the
best pay price for milk which well
informed producers say is Improbable.
If our farmers persist in selling milk
to city dealers they ought to have
positive assurance Of the financial re-
liability of the men to whom they ship
their products. Regardless of this
phase of the situation we think that
if they will take time to look about a
little they will find that the men who
are making money on Vermont farms
today are not furnishing milk for far
away dairy companies. When milk is
made into butter or cheese at home
there are valuable by-products to be
fed to the stock on the farms and the
keeping of more stock adds to the fer
tility of the farms.

ABOUT PARCEL POST.

There are reports of postal con
tractors who have made business fol
themselves by means of the parcel
post. A West Virginia postmaster who
also was a grocer received an order for
four barrels of flour So he sold him
self stamps and delivered the flour in
bags by parcel post. The government
was bound to supply him with the
stamps cancelled through his office, and
also was bound to deliver his flour
Nobody paid for the transportation of
the flour.
The railway was bound to carry it
under its four-year contract. The gov
ernment paid nothing for the additional
service. The transaction was strictly
regular in all respects, and yet there
is something about it better worth con
sideration than the oddities of the
case There are six mail order houses
shipping 100000 packages apiece on
which the freight and express charges
are avoided. They know their rights
and it is an easy guess that they could
tell strange tales of how they put il
over the railways and Uncle Sam.
The people value the postal parce
| service, and do not want it crippled
also they do not want it abused Tn,
government itself seems to set tn,
worst example in this respect.

Gormany's generosity, as displayed
in her willingness to give away parts
of the Austrian territory, is one of the
cheerful developments of the war. Her
reported offer to swap Austrian Ga
licia for the western part of Russian
Poland matches up well with her offer
to appease Italy by giving that country
Austrian Trentino and Trieste. Such
disinterestedness is refreshing in the
face of such a general display of sci
fishness as the war has brought about
It is in class with the patriotism of
the man of Civil war times who was
willing to sacrifice all of his wife's re
lations.

Wheat Raising in Vermont.
bennington Banner.)

bennington Banner
1t has been known for more than a
century that Vermont soil would grow
big crops of wheat but in recent years
not a large amount of this grain has
been produced in the state. IN the pr
oneer days each farmer raised his own
wheat which was ground at the village
gristmill for family use. With the
opening of the vast wheat lands in the
west and the increasing tendency
toward dairying in Vermont the raising
of wheat in this state has been almost
entirely abandoned The success of
John Squires of Bennington, who has
just completed the harvesting and
threshing of 200 bushels Of wheat from
four acres of land, will recall the DAYS
when every farm in the state had its
wheat field and when the grain was a
standard crop in the state. Some years
ago the owner of good water power
at Jericho built a flour mill and en-
deaVored to induce the farmers in tina.
vicinity to go into wheat raising. He
told them that they could obtain larger
returns from their land per acre than
the wheat farmers of the west and
produced the statistics to prove his con
tention but he failed to make much OF
an impression. Most OF the land III
the west available for wheat is now
under cultivation and with the steady
increase in population the time is com
ing when the nation s bread basket
must look for its filing to other sec
| tons of the country. With wheat sell

any of them who got within a mile
of the embassy must come to see me.
The latchstring, told them, was out;
there was always a spare seat in my

often pulled; the seat in church re-

visited me stopped his subscription
to the Christian Observer. He said
he didn't want any observers while he

Athens today is a shrine for the preser- vation of the memory of the debt which the modern world owes to the ancient Greeks" says the National Geographic society in a statement recently issued re- garding the Greek capital. Although most of the treasures of the ancient city have been footed and destroyed by in vaders, there are still enough left to fas- cinate the student and give him some idea of the city's former artistic splendor. Modern Athens has grown up around the shattered city which was the pride of the ancient world. At the end of the Greek war for independence Athens was little more than a Turkish village, with few crooked streets and poorly built houses. It now has straight, imposing streets and boulevards, laid out in admirable style, handsome public squares and many splen- did private and public buildings. The mu- seums of Athens attract many students and before the present war started it was rapidly becoming once more an interna- tional seat of learning. The city had also built up a considerable trade. In norma. times large part of the Balkan import passes through it. NThe present population is about 170O00.

SONG WRITER SUES

From the New York Telegraph.
 Probably fired by the success of his re- cent associate and comrade in arms, Jimmie Monaco, Thomas Joseph Me- Carthy known to Broadway only as Joe Mccarthy, has begun in the supreme court a suit to wrest s25oO from the Broad way Music corporation.
 Yes, it was Mccarthy with qtonaco's as- sistancc, who turned Row, Row. Row. You Made Me Love You, Didn't Want to Do It. and other like classics out into the world.
 The world must have proved decidedly receptive, it appears from the song writer's complaint, for, although he has already received more than sl0,OOO in roy t-lties from the two songs mentioned, he still thinks the Broadway Music corpora tion owes him money on the deal.
 There was another piece-de-resistance entitled, T Love Her, Oh, Oh, Oh!' the Broadway company also handled and from which Mccarthy is sure some royal ties are due him.
 The plaintiff declares it his belief that he has not received all that is coming to him on account of royalties. and says although he has no accurate means oi ascertaining what royalties his songs ac. tually earned, he thinks at least s2500 is due him.
 Monaco. who contributed the music foi all these ditties, recently crossed bats with the music publishers in court, but settled his suit for sum, said to be about 5000. before the case came to trial

PROHIBITION IN ALASKA

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 In Alaska we perceive the shoe of pro- hibition pinching the wrong foot. With water selling for $1 barrel the ''drys'' are subjected to painful prohibition of their own. a dose of .heir own, as well as the other fellows medicine. Nobody ever dreamed that 1t would come to this The world will watch results It is un- fortunate that people must drink some thing-though little water will some times go long way, even with prohi- bitionist. Water at ss1 barrel is ths irony of nature.
 Only the very rich and self-indulgeni John Wanamakers of the dry mQve- ment can afford to drink the beverage at the prohibitive price, The poor man cannot regularly dissipate and wallow i, it. but must satisfy his craving with thimbeful. although of a Saturday night there will likely be the occasional horrible example of the water drunkard blowing his whole weeks wages at the pump.
 There is no extremist like the prohibi. tionist. but even the prohibitionist must pay the penalty of his extremes.

Rebuilding HopeweH

T stopped in Petersburg, Va, last week and the chief topic of conversation there was the recent destruction by fire of the one-year-old town of Hopewell, eight or nine miles from Petersburg, and the work of rehabilitation said Henry Shaf- ford of Washington, D. c.
 "Hopewell had population of approxi- mately 25,000, and most of the houses were flimsy and so long as no one was burned to death in the conflagration it is a good thing the town was swept by flames The town was without sewer system and had it remained without sani- tary protection a terrible epidemic would have broken out.
 Along with the rebuilding of Hope we'll sewers are being constructed and no Louse is allowed to be erected until a building committee has approved the plans. In q year from now the new Hopewell will be credit to Virginia
