For confidence in the quality of the

the maxim that it is the human ele-

human limitations, and it is obvious
that fleet undermanned and in many
respects SO poorly equipped as ours
cannot be turned into an efficient fight

efficient fleet as we lie here in this

in any way to make light of our mani
fest unpreparedness.
A few years ago our fleet was the
second of the world, in some respects
twice as strong as Germany's; to-day
we see it deficient in divers respects,
wanting in officers and men, wanting
in vessels of several classes, wanting
in many things essential to the making
of such a navy as this country needs.
1t may appear churlish to insist on
these deficiencies at this moment, yet

ARLINGToN'S FIRST LIBRARY

There has been added to the Circul
ating Library of Arlington bookcase,
which contains 139 old books in very
good condition. With the books is {
well-kept record book. In this we fine
that in April, 1903, an organization
was formed called "The Arlington Lii
brary Society" with Constitution and
bylaws, list of subscribers and com
mittees chosen for special purposes;
also catalogue Of the books. The only
name given as Librarian was S. Will
mot in 1927 and at that time Galen
Garfield was clerk and treasurer. The
names given as having served on COM
mittees for the appraising and pur.
chase of books were Asahel Hurd, T..
Hurd, A. Mckee, Samuel Wilmot, Will
liam Brown, Abraham Bronson, Mar
tin c. Deming. This library had been
kept in private houses and as it be-
longed to the town it vibrated between
the village or cup town" and "down
river" or West Arlington. Opening
day was April II, 1903, and 80 books
were drawn. The first by Ichabod
Benedict was "Gibbon Abridged" OH
Baker took one volume of Pope and
two volumes of Sterne's works. Mar
tin Deming one volume of Rollins An
cient History. Sylvester Deming,
"Bossuet's Universal History" The
last entry in this record book is Jan
uary 10, 1860. In 1858 "The Airing
ton Library Association" was formed
and the new library had room in the
railroad station. Of course there was
no room there for the old books which
were then at Mr.. A. Hurd's house in
West Arlington, so it was decided to
leave them with him. In few years
he moved to the village and then came
up again the question Of what should |
be done with the old bokos Some
were in favor of destroying them, but
Miss Mix, who lived near said that she
would be glad to care for them. They
were accordingly taken to her home
and there they remained until she
moved Then Mr.. H. NJ. Farnham
had them stored in his attic. This
was, as near as can be ascertained,
about 1880. There they have remain
ed unknown to many till a few weeks
ago when they were brought to our
notice by Mrs. C, II. Buck and then it
vas decided to place them again be-
'ore the public SO that all could learn
,f the style of literature our ancestors
-ead and enjoyed. We shall be pleas
d to show this old library to anyone
Interested. 1t is possible that Airing
on may have the credit Of being first !
.mong the towns in having a public I
library. Will other towns look up rec {
,rds and see if an earlier date than |
500 can be found.

monter. One can gather statistics, ex-
anime reports, inspect and criticise
schools in comparatively short time
with reasonable accuracy. But is re-
quires time to interpret the spirit of
people. II cannot be tabulated nor
graphed nor computed by means of
formulR. To understand the people of
Vermont one must study their history,
live among them, know their tradi-
tons and beliefs, their pride in local
Government, in country life, in their
cattle and their children. Vermonters
have their own ideas. They are not
intellectual saprophytes. They resent
presumptuous invasion. The spirit of
Ethan Allen will not down. SO they
have resented the advice TO restrict
the activity of their colleges. TO abol-
ish their normal schools, to deport
their boys and girls to neighboring
towns for high school education. to
surrender local freedom in educational
affairs and to make every Vermonter
a farmer--resented it as presamptu-
GUS trespass upon the right to deter
mine for themselves what remedies
seem best for the educational saliva
ton Of the State. Vermonters well
coined the findings Of the Carnegie re-
port respecting the status Of educa-
tion, but they rejected the remedies
which the experts Of the foundation

alton Of Vermont. The diagnosis was
accurate, the remedy seemed
TO be less endurable than the disease.

INFORMATION FOR FARMERS

Creamery patrons in this State have
been quite generally separating a thin
cream, many creameries receiving
cream testing below 20 per cent butter
fat. This practice is being discontin-
ued by many dairymen who are find
ing that it pays them better to separ-
ate cream testing 30 to 30 per cent
in butter fat
The buttermaker receiving thin
cream is working at disadvantage in
several ways. 1st, he must have
larger watts in which TO temper and
ripen the cream. End, more steam is
required to heat the cream in winter
and more ice is needed TO cool properly
in summer. 3rd, more butter fat is
lost in churning on account Of the in
creased amount of buttermilk. This is
one of the leaks in creamery operation
that keep down the overrun and cut
the price of butter fat, thus resulting
in direct loss to the patrons of the
creamery. 4th, finer butter can be
made of the richer cream.
The dairyman is also placing him
self at disadvantage by separating
thin cream. 1st, the farmer has a
larger quantity of cream to cool and to
keep in good condition. End, he has
more cream to haul TO the creamery
but not pound more butter fat. 3rd.
he has less skim milk to keep at home
and must make 1t up by hauling from
the creamery larger amount Of but
termilk. 4th, he is not able 10 keep
his cream as well under the same con
1itions, because thin cream will sour
more quickly than cream rich in but
.er fat. Creamery patrons should at
his time set their separator cream
screw SO that it will separate cream
.esting 30 TO 35 per cent butter fat
which will be more profitable and give
,etter results both for patrons and
'reamery.

"D0N'TS" ISSUED TO PRE-
VENT FOREST FIRES
Public's Cooperation Sought 10 Stop
Blazes Which Are Causing Big
Losses in the East.

L
Losses In the East.
! Washington, May 10-To obtain tn
|, cooperation of the public in prevent
, ing forest fires which are doing
, great deal of damage in the east th
spring, the U. S. forest service ha
prepared ten "D0N'TS" to be observ
ed in the woods. 1t is hoped tina
these rules may have a beneficial eff
feet during the fire season of tn,
southern Appalachians, which is no
yet over, and that of the north woods
which is just beginning and which
from present indications, promises tc
be unusually severe.
The 'D0NTS" follow:
l. Don't throw your match away
until you are sure it is out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
3. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other infammable ma
terial.
A. Don't build camp fire any larg-
er than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build a fire against tree,
log, or stump, or anywhere but on
bare soil.
6. Don't leave fire until you are
sure it is out; if necessary smother it
with earth or water.
7. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods if there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start a new
fire.
s. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home.
g. Don't be idle when you discover
fire in the woods; if you can't put it
out yourself, get help. Where for
est guard, ranger or State fire warden
can be reached, call him up on the
nearest telephone you can find.
10. Don't forget that human
thoughtlessness and negligence are
the causes of more than half of the
forest fires in this country, and that
the smallest spark may start con-
fagration that will result in loss Of
life and destruction of timber and
young growth valuable not only fes
lumber but for their influence in help
ing to prevent flood, erosion, and
drought.
