Germany Still Defiant.

AS we predicted Germany does not
like the last note sent them by Pres
ident Wilson and does not propose
to give it an early answer. The press
of that country is most pronounced
in it's claim that Germany should be
allowed to murder innocent and
peaceable citizens of America at it's
pleasure because that may help the
country towards victory. We have
not discovered a single instance
where the press of that country has
criticized the manning of prisoners
or the wanton destruction of neutral
property or the violation of sacred
treaties. Barbarism, intidelity and
falsehood are eagerly resorted to if
they promise to increase the terror
ism the German is trying to create
throughout the civilized world.
After reading the American note
they seem to recall that the presi-
dent of this country has persistent
ly evaded his duty and doggedly held
to his policy of bluff in dealing with
Mexico and reason they are in no
more danger than Mexico has been.
Then they heap injury upon insult to
this country and hold the writer of
the note in contempt. 1t cannot be
denied they have grounds for doing
so. When a man solemnly warns a
nation that has killed hundreds of
American citizens that if it kills
any more it will be considered de
liberately unfriendly'' we can expect
nothing but guffaw and scorn.
The present condition reminds us
strongly of the experience of Will
helm Kieft, known as William the
Testy, one of the Dutch governors of
New Amsterdam who sent a procla-

Farmers Should Know.

The report of the special commit
tee of the Boston Chamber of Com.
merce that investigated milk con-
ditions in New England says the
testimony received from the 1850
farmers who appeared at the hear
ings conducted by the committee dis
closed not only a wide discrepancy
in the estimates of cost of various
factors entering into milk production
but demonstrated in many cases ac-
tual ignorance on this point. prob
ably eighty per cent. of the farmers, .
says the report, "have no accurate
idea of what their cows are pro-
ducing each year in pounds of milk
to say nothing of their test in but
ter fat" Estimates on the cost OF
keeping a COW varied all the way
from $S6.94 to $162. Estimates on
the value of calf varied all the way
from 81 to Sill, and on the value
of manure from So to SIS. Labor
was subject to wide variation, rang
ing from SIS to $40 per year per
COW; and to board a hired man cost
some farmers $3.50 per month,
others $3.50.
That these are ridiculous varia-
tons in the cost of keeping a COW
or the value of some of her products
will be admitted by all. Somewhere
between the low and high figures are
the facts and they should be secured.
When a fairly accurate cost has been
determined the farmer can compare
his costs with the proper costs and
correct his methods to bring his
costs into proper bounds.
The farmers of this county can
easily determine the approximate
cost of keeping COW. We have
seven COW testing associations in the
county and in each one of them are
practical and successful farmers. THE
CALIFORNIAN would invite the Sec
rotary of each association to secure
the records of two or three of the
representative farmers in his associ-
alton and send them to u.s. We will
not reveal the names of the men or
the association to which they belong,
but will find the average cost of
feed, and other expenses and publish
the averages. This would give the
farmers quite accurate information
and enable them to make whatever
changes are necessary to increase
their profits. Will these officers do
that much for US in trying to secure
for the farmers some valuable in
formation?

Vermont OPPORTUNITIES.

Former Vermonters returning to
their homes for a visit are constant
ly telling US that Vermont scenery
is as fine as any in the world, that
the state is much nearer the great
markets than most agricultural
states, and that Vermont soil can
produce as much as any soil in the
land. But it also develops that they
were never told these things by their
parents and friends before they left
the state. On the contrary they were
allowed to go away with the idea
that Vermont was seriously lacking
the advantages to be found in other
states. Lack of instruction about the
real advantages of our state has been
largely responsible for the great
drain upon its young men and wo-
men. These facts impress one with
the Importance of the present resi-
dents correctly informing themselves
about the advantages of Vermont
compared with other places and then
diligently teaching these fact to
their children.
These former Vermonters who
have been successful in other fields
also gratutiously tell their former
neighbors of ways of improving
conditions for themselves and the
state as a whole. This advice should
also be given a respectful hearing
because it comes from successful
men who are free from selfish mo-
tives in offering their suggestions
and oftentimes the following of
their advice would be to our ad-
vantage. In this way they may to a
limited extent repay some of the
loss they caused Vermont by leaving
it under wrong impression.
If Vermonters will inform them
selves on their advantages, teach
this knowledge to the young and ap-
ply whatever practical advice comes
to them from outside sources the
state will enjoy a new era of growth
and development.

Peace in Vermont.

If people only stop to think about
it they will realize that Vermont is
enjoying one Of the most peaceful
periods of its history. In Massa-
chusetts they held a political pow
WOW on one of the hot nights last
week in an attempt to set COVER
nor and lieutenant-g booms
to sprouting. In New Hampshire Hi
Noone" has announced his candidacy
for the governorship and others are
waiting for a psychological moment
to publicly announce their ambition.
One cannot help recalling conditions
a year ago in this state when no
one was safe from charges of con-
spiracy and corruption and the wa
tiers of statecraft were so disturbed
that they were Stunned and every
one suspected everyone else.
Today it is entirely different. We
have not heard a single charge of
dishonesty among state officials and
no one is suspected of such criminal
ity. We have not heard that a
single corporation is lodging it's taxes
and no one is posing as a sacrifice of
their Vaccinations. The new work
mems compensation act is being put
into effect without friction and labor
is peacably following it's different vo-
cations. There is some criticism on
the part of certain educational as
pirants because they cannot run the
affairs of the state commissioner of
education and the state board of ed
ucation, but they have failed to
arouse any public interest in their
soreness and the great work of re-
organizing the educational work of
Vermont under the new law is max
ing satisfactory progress.
Our governor is not announcing
busy filling all the engagements he
can and he is telling of the strength
and honesty of Vermont men and in
situations to audiences pleased to be-
lieve what he is saying. The woods
may be full of men looking for his
place, but if so they are so far in
the deep woods they do not disturb
Vermont civilization. If anyone says
anything about the next governor it
is to suggest the denomination and
reelection of the present man.
We do not recall another time when
Vermont public affairs were as peace
full or satisfactory as they are now. |
1t is pleasant to have things so and
among all classes there is confidence
that we have a corps of state Off
Gals who will maintain these pleas
ant and satisfactory conditions for
some time to come.

Twelve Months of War.

Many writer's are summing up the
results of the first twelve months Of
the European war which closed on
the 28th day of July. 1t is pointed
out that Germany has won more
European territory than any other
country has acquired in single
war since the treaty of Westphalia.
Germany is fighting today in prac-
t'cally all of Belgium, 5000 square
miles of territory in France and
have pushed deep into. Poland fight
ing at the doors of Warsaw. For
four months the German led Turk
ish troops have kept the allies from
capturing Constantinople and the al
lies in the West have made prac-
tically no progress against German
troops. To offset this Germany has
lost a larger territory in her vari-
Gus colonies than she has gained,
and on the sea all her free ships
have been captured or forced to in
terne and her great fleet of battle
ships have not struck blow. Her
submarines have committed several
atrocities but have not destroyed a
large amount of shipping.
Writers generally give Germany
the credit of victory for the first
twelve months. 1t is true she has
destroyed Belgium, is still an invad-

discovered of politics is the declara-

he is strongly opposed to national

a determined fight by Elihu Root for

check the power of the invisible gov

STATESBORO MINISTER
GETS REAL HELP
Rev. ]. Powell Tells How He Found
New Strength to Give to
His Labors.

Rev. ]. Powell of Statesboro, Ca,
suffered from stomach troubles so Sc
riously that they affected his work.
He struggled on under the handicap
as best he could-hardly realizing,
perhaps, just how much his sickness
was hurting him.
One day he learned of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. He took the first dose
then decided to take the full treat
ment. He wrote:
"Since using the six bottles of your
wonderful remedy l feel like another
man. It has been quite wonder to
me to know one could have a stomach
disease like mine and live and do the
work did. I just escaped the OPP
Grating table.
Now can eat what | please and
it doesn't hurt me night or day."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis
tress after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
Get one bottle of your druggist now
and try it on an absolute guarantee
if not satisfactory money will be re-
turned. (Adv.)
