The Stock Breeding Interests.

(Nhite River Junction Landmark.)
During the month of November. %
conventions are being held at the Pana-
ma Pacific exposition of associations of
stock breeders, poultry raisers, etc. The
breeders meetings are mostly OF sheep
and swine growers. The number and
strength OF these associations is a revel-
alton of the growing interest in all
kinds of stock raising.
Formerly a pig was a pig and a
sheep Il sheep. The majority of farm
ors thought little as to the breeds to
which they belonged. Several different
breeds were usually to be found in the
same pens. The mongrel products lack
ed the distinctive merits OF any one
type eff stock and brought correspond
inglv low prices.
To-day large and small associations
of breeders are forming all over the
country. They plan advertising cam
palgns, by which the distinctive pro
duct of some breed or of some section
or locality become better known. They
have competitions by which standards
of production are fixed The indi.
vidual grower can thus determine il
his animals are producing favorable re
suits. They teach the farmer that blood
tells III sheep, swine and poultry, as
we'll as III folks, and that mongrels are
costly boarders All which increases
efficiency in animal husbandrv, anC

The haircut is the unimpeded effort
Of a care-free barber to cause a custo-
mer to look like a human being. Some
times the effort falls short of the in
tended effect by several two-mile laps
and causes GOODNESS to arise between
husband and wife This is not always
the fault Of the barber, however, who
has to overcome peculiar structural
difficulties without Il set of blueprints.
The haircut is both a simple and
pleasing process. The first thing necessu-
~ is to stuff several yards of a starched
apron down the neck of the customer.
which allows the hair that is removed
10 fall down the back Of his neck, where
it cannot be gotten at with anything
but a shower bath. The apron, properly
applied. also prevents the customer
from breathing in natural tone OF
voice for several minutes. The barber
then starts on the south side Of the
chair and works due north without al
lowing the customer s ears to interfere
with his itinerary. On reaching the other
ear he pauses long enough to brush L
few more handsfuI of hair down the
customer : neck. after which he steps
back and takes cold, unfeeling squirt
at the ruins.

German diplomacy in the Balkan re-
gion seems to be more effective than
the arms of the allies, if the latest re-
ports have a foundation of facts. The
situation becomes extremely perilous il

If Greece has taken this course in ac-
cord with German plans to let the al
lied troops pass into the trap and then
for Greece to close it up and slaughter
its victims, it is an alarming situation
But there remains the fact that the
allied fleets can destroy Greek coast

Forty-fve state and territorial legis-

children s laws and to the number of
commissions appointed to study and
prepare for future legislation. As show

There are various popular styles OF
hair-cuts, all Of which causes Il man TO
be subjected to some very free com
ment on returning to the Office. The
small boy prefers the shingle style,
which removes all of the hair that can
be gotten 1T without the use Of an en-
ery-wheel, while the clergy cling fondlv
to the side-whisker effect The haircut
which parts the hair in the middle and
allows it &c loop gracefully over the
ear lobe has been supplanted by the
low, rakish side part, which starts at
the southwest corner of bald spot
and winds up in a defiant cowlick. Then
there is the outstanding pompadour
which cannot be slept on with any de-
gree of success and therefore always re
tains its shape.
There would be a better quality of
hair-cutting done in this country if the
customer would not put off q visit to the
barber until driven to it by an approach
ing wedding or the appeals Of a wife
! who objects to sitting across the table
from a human mop. When a barber is
asked to restore a look of intelligence
to man who has not had his hair cut
| since the last presidential election, he
| has task which should excite both our
! sympathy and awe.

Since the recent fire horrors in Pea
body, Mass, and New York city repre-
sentatives of the fire departments of
many towns and cities have made
trips of inspection through the public
school buildings with view to de-
termining the existence of fire haz-
ards; in fact, in many places the
school authorities themselves have sug-
gested these inspections. Although The
Meddler believes that Brattleboro 5
school buildings are free from fire haz-
ards and the pupils are put through
frequent fire drills, he is still inclined

dren during the school hours that
would come from thorough inspection
