Raise Cattle in Vermont.
(springfeld Reporter.l

If the state of Vermont would pay
the farmer enough to raise steer I'M
til it reaches the age of two years,
and do it in a way that would keep
the boys and girls on the Vermont
farms, there would be started the
greatest industry this state ever knew,
With our vacant land sowed to oats,
and then covered with grass, there
would be feed for the growing cattle
and money for the boys and girls
which would be spent around home If
our memory serves US right New Eng
land farmers raised the beef that sup
piled the northern army in the Civil
war. Prosperity knocks at our very
door in the development of the cattle
industry, and if some way could be de-
vised to stimulate the boys and girls
to raise cattle Vermont would never
know again what hard times are The
state of Vermont faces a great oppor-
tunity to have cattle on a thousand
hills. Why not do something about it?

The Hardwick Gazette thinks that
the sorrow that is felt by the West
Newbury parents, whose children were
burned to death while the father and
mother were attending church, must
be mixed with a good deal of 'remorse
over the unnecessary occurrence, and
adds: Leaving two children, three
and five years of age, respectively, to
take care of themselves while the fam
lily attends church or any other place,
is inviting disaster. The children got
matches and built fire in the barn,
with the result that they not only lost
their lives, but destroyed $4,000 worth
of property" The practice of leaving
little children alone and unguarded is
not a common one, but it OCCURS often
enough so that the warning sounded by
the Gazette may serve to prevent n
repetition of the tragedy in a different
form. We have heard of people north
of Vernon and south of Dummerston
who locked children in the house while
they went away from home. 1t is to
this rather small class that the lesson
at Newbury should come with striking
force.

war orders to the amount of many mill
lions of dollars. In New Haven and
Bridgeport the work is largely on arms
and ammunition. The Colt factory in.
Hartford is turning out Benet- MERCER
guns for Great Britain in vast numbers.
These guns are of the rapid fire type
mounted on tripods. The stock of the
Colt company has adyaRced in value
in year from $50 to $50. It is posi-
BILE that the concern may declare a 100
per cent dividend within a year. The
Pratt & Whitney company of Hartford
has contracts with European nations
aggregating $s,OOO,0OO, and is turning
out complete arsenal for China at a
cost of $3,o00,0O0. In Waterbury,
where the big brass factories were idle
last summer, orders are being turned
down and plants are running to their
utmost capacity.

Summer resorts all over the country
are preparing for big business. The
managers figure that a good part of
the $3.50, 100000 which Americans have
scattered in European countries will
be spent for pleasure and sightseeing
in this country. The changed condi-
tions win count in the prosperity col.
umn in the United States, and in addi-
ton it is hoped that they win give a
permanent impetus to the 'tsee Amer
lea frst' movement, and will develop
among the people better appreciation
of the scenic and other attractions of
their own land.

battle. His mother opposes him, but
he goes and proves himself brave
soldier and a loyal son. The story has
the fine literary quality and charm that
characterizes Mr.. Aliens early work.
The Wooden Horse, Hugh Walpole.
A story whose interest lies in the
character drawing and in the varying
play of temperament. Harry Preian,
the eldest son of Cornish family re-
turns to England after living for 20
years in free, progressive New Yea
land. The contrast between his wide
outlook on life and the narrow, hide
bound, conventional vision of his fami-
ly makes the story.

A medical practitioner in Spring
field, Mass, who was found guilty of
an illegal act, was placed on probation
providing he would leave the state of
Massachusetts within 80 days. In other
words, Massachusetts simply shifted
the responsibility for the man onto
some other state, although by no
stretch of the Imagination is any other
state responsible for the man. 1t is
not right-this policy of dumping one IS
undesirables onto somebody else-nor
is it certain to result in the correction
of the ways of the offening party
Each state ought to face its own re-
sponsibilities-Barre Times.
The point made by the contemporary
is well taken. The policy is seen its
most obnoxious form in passing along
destitute persons and those of criminal
tendencies who are known to have vi
plated the law or who are under suspic
ion of being connected with crime.

Power Development in Vermont
(Vergennes Enterprise.)

There is renewed activity in the
market for water power rights in
Vermont. All rights on Neshobe
river in Brandon have recently been
secured to one company; what is de-
scribed as lone of the best in north
ern Vermont, on Lamoille river in
Hyde Park has just been sold to a
New York state firm; and rights on
Middlebury river are in litigation.
Which calls attention to the fact that
a lot of power is going to waste in
Vermont. Harnessed up as it is in
some sections, it would mean an i'm
mense industrial development. These
changes may be beneficial to Vermont.
They certainly ought to be.

pretty red apple. the cover kept on so
that the contents will be surprise.
Children from four to forty, and even
older. enjoy an element of mystery
about things and a surprise is most
delightful way of entertaining little
people. A tiny doll dressed in fluffy
robes may be hidden in a rosy apple
as a favor or as a gift.
A banana with a half dozen little
niger" dolls or chocolate babies en-
bedded in the banana and the skin put
back is another delight that the chill
dren will rejoice over. Cut off a slice
of the banana to make the surface
level and give the dolls room to lie in
nice row in their dainty bed.
A stick of good candy wrapped in
oiled paper or fringed paper candy
stick may be slipped into an empty
banana skin.
A pretty ball may be concealed in an
orange that has been carefully hol-
lowed out and the quarters or halves
put back closely.
An orange may hold almost anything
from choice candy with candy hearts
and notices to cosy nest for another
tiny doll
A jack-in-the-box is great fun to
make, using fruit to hold the jack.
For boys, whistles and marbles, tops
and different toys can be used.
There is no need that the fruit itself
be wasted. for it can be used in max
ing frozen dishes, drinks or salads,
which the children will enjoy eating

Italy's entrance into the war on the
side of the allies is almost sure to be
followed by similar action on the part
of Roumania, and when Roumania
sounds the toscin of war the other
Balkan states will be pretty sure to
follow suit. The Roumanians, who oc-
eupy part of the ancient Roman
province of Dacia, claim blood rela-
tionship with the Italians, and like the
Italians they went to get back the
part of their original territory that is
now under the control of Austria.

When the history of the greatest of
wars is told it cannot be said of Italy,
as has been said of Austria, Germany
Russia and England, that the people
had no voice in making the war, and
that the kings, emperors and war lords
were responsible. The war comes to
Italy as the wish of the people express
ed with such force that it could not be
prevented.

Of course you have heard of Uncle
Jimmy Pankhurst - everybody i:
hearing of him just now.
He is the Illinois farmer who want:
a demure little housekeeper and il
willing to pay her $500 week ani
board for the rest of his days anC
then leave her $10,0OO.OO when hi
dies
Uncle Jimmy cannot accept all o1
the applicants, because they are com
ing in by the thousands, and he il
getting so much mail he needs 6
dozen clerks to handle it.
He's getting a lot of free advertis.
ing in all of the great daily papers
and is crowding President Wilson, the
kaiser and old Carranza off Of the
front page.
He's just having bully good time
smoking the old corn cob pipe under
big shade tree while his fame grows
by leaps and bounds and doesn't know
when or where to stop.
Uncle Jimmy has a dear old lady
for wife and is not looking for an
affinity. He just wants demure lit,
tie thing to look after them in thei,
decline of life and play havoc with
their money after they are gone.
He's not politician and does not
want to be constable or United States
senator. He's just plain Uncle Jimmy
Pankhurst, who went to bed in the
old farm house one night and woke
up the next morning in the hall OF
fame.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S.-Poul-
try can be kept successfully on 4 a
small amount Of land for this reason
it is particularly adapted to the SUI
burbs of large cities and to small
towns. The waste products of the
kitchen and the table may be used
to advantage and there is always a
market for eggs and dressed poultry
or, if used at home, the consumer is
certain that he has strictly fresh
product.
When many birds are kept in a
small space, however, the ground is
likely to become foul. It is, there,
fore, advisable to divide the lot and
SOW part of it with some quick grow
ing grain such as oats, wheat or rye
In this way the yards may be rotated
every three or four weeks during the
growing season, the hens being turn
ed on the growing grain when it is a
few inches high. A good combina-
ton is oats and wheat in equal parts
sowing six or, seven bushels to the
acre (43,56O square feet.)
For the poultry house, about four
square feet of floor space per bird
should be allowed for the, general .pur-
pose breeds. The other essentials
are fresh air, dryness and sunlight.
Birds that are too fat will: lay
few eggs. It is, therefore, advisable
to: make them work for most of their
feed by scratching in the litter Of
which there should be about -four
inches on the floor. A good feed mix
ture is scratch ration composed OF
equal parts of corn, wheat and oats
and a mash of two parts Of corn, meal
and one part each of bran, middlings
and corn meal, feeding about equal
quantities of the scratch ration and
of mash. This should be scattered
in the litter morning and noon, al
lowing a small handful for every
three hens. At night the bird should
be given all they can eat Of it in a
V-shaped trough. In the winter
time, some green feed should be
given at neon-cabbage or mangel-

The Murder of Leo M. Frank.

Whether Leo M. Frank was really
guilty of numbering Mary Phagan, a
little Georgia factory girl, will prob
ably never be known, but neverthe-
less he was sentenced to life impris-
onment following his conviction
brought about by the evidence of a
negro whose testimony proved far
from reliable.
Pleading his innocence he was
taken to the State of Georgia's prison
farm to remain there for the remain
der of his life-his hope being that
the truth of the crime might some
time be revealed and his name cleared.
But Georgia was dissatisfied with the
acts of Justice in the case and a mob
of ruffians caused his murder.
He was taken not by a sweep of
mob passion. He was not slain for
his money, his power or for anything
else which he might have had or
might have done. He was murdered
in cold blood to quench a lust. He
was murdered in open and deliberate
defiance of duly constituted govern
.ment. a=.. .'-
The State of Georgia should go In
to mourning until it's machinery Of
justice has exhausted every clew and
every power to bring to a reckoning
the murderers of Frank. The entire
nation will hang its head in shame
for Georgia, the state, which, by its
failure to govern, has done more
than any other state, since the found
ing of the republic, to disgrace Amer
lean justice and decency.
