BOY AND GIRL FARMERS
Agricultural Clubs Have Membership
of 1fC,077.

An interesting and promising sign
of the times is the growing incllna-
ton of farmers sons and daughters
to study practical agriculture, says
the Burlington News.
The movement is thus far practical
ly limited to the West but in time
New England will participate in it.
The latest report from the West
would seem to promise general inter-
est all over the country.
According to this report, there has
been an increase of more than 41,00O
in the membership of various boys
and girls agricultural clubs conduct
ed by the state agricultural colleges
and the department of agriculture in
the northern and western states. At
the close of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, there were 110,077
members in the various club projects
in the SO states covered by the work.
At the close OF the present fiscal
year, June 80, 1915, the membership
was 151,194, exclusive of the en-
iOllhtliI III INT llOtuti-uduSule CAN
ming clubs.
This work is being carried on CO.
operatively in 26 of the % states in
the northern, central and western
territory by the department of agri-
culture and the extension depart
ments of the state colleges for agri-
culture. In practically every state
short courses for boys and girls spec
ial demonstration schools have been
held at the colleges and in the field.
During the past year 1867 club mem
bers attended the mid-winter courses
at the colleges, 96S Of these having
their expenses paid by local contribu-
tons as a recognition of their achieve
ments in club work. OF the SO club
members who Jas champions of their
states, districts, or counties for 1914,
have become recognized as National
All-Star club members. 81 are now at
tending high schools, agricultural, or
other colleges, three of the remaining
seven have already graduated from
high school, and one will go to an ag-

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub
Tuesday, October 10, 1915.

The sage of the Bennington Banner
is on record as believing that if the
question were submitted to referen-
dunn, women would be admitted to
suffrage in Vermont.-Rutland Her
aid.
The Banner has no recollection of
having harbored such view. If The
Banner ever said anything of the
kind it must have been in moment
of enthusiasm after listening to
some xtra-specialextra suffragette
oratory. The Banner is in favor OF
equal suffrage, but does not believe it
would be adopted if submitted to the
voters of Vermont today if decided
on it's own merits and not mixed up
with other questions, We might add
that the Importance of the equal suf-
frage issue is greatly overestimated
by it's advocates and by those oppos-
ed No wonderful good and no tre-
mendous harm will come from wo-
man suffrage

"THE UNsPoILEo LANE"
Ninety.three Page Booklet Describing
Beauties of Vermont.

Beauties or vermont
THE Green Mountain Tour" or
"The Unspoiled Land is the title OF
charming 9s-page booklet just is
sued by the futile company of this
city. 1t is the work OF Mortimer Proc
tor of Proctor and Roderie Olzenham
Of Woodstock and is the result of per
sonal visits to all of the 246 towns.
In the booklet are described more in
teresting of these from the point of
view of scenery, historical associa-
tions, industries, state institutions,
mountains, roads, lakes, farms, etc.
The purpose of the authors in writ
ing the booklet has been to bring to
the attention of the public, both with
in and out side the state, some OF Yer
monts secret charms which have
hitherto received too little publicity
and the thorough knowledge of the
state which they possess has made
THE Green Mountain Tour perhaps
the most interesting and comprehen-
siye work of it's kind that has yet ap-
peared.
To Automobiles the book will be
especially valuable for it contains
minute instructions as to the route to
be followed in touring Vermont to get
the best possible returns for the time
spent in touring. Information as to
hotels, garages, etc, is also provided;
in fact every possible query with
which the tourist might find himself
confronted is answered in the Proc
tor and Olzenham brochure. In the
eight days time the Green Mountain
tour, outlined in the book, requires,
one is able to see most of the princi-
pal attractions of which Vermonters
are so justly proud. The eight sect
ions of the tour are divided as fol
lows; Rutland to Brattleboro, Brat
tleboro to Woodstock, Woodstock to
st. Johnsbury, St. Johnsbury to Hyde
Park, Hyde Park to Burlington, Bur
lmgton to Brandon, Brandon to Wood
stock to Rutland.
But it is not to automobilists alone
that "The Green Mountain Tour" will
appeal. 1t should prove valuable ad-
dition to the library of every Yer
monter (and to that of every New
Englander, for that matter) because
it is ait once concise compendium of
information about the state and
well-written exposition of its attrac-
tons.
The booklet contains an interesting
description of all of the principal
mountains of the state as well as its
lakes and other natural attractions
The principal industries of the state
are given attention and their location
described. .G ft
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the book is >the long list of
the sons and daughters of Vermont
who have won nationwide distinction
in every field
THE Green Mountain Tour" is pro,
fusely illustrated. With cuts illustra-
tive Of the Natural beauties, indus
tries and historical associations of
Vermont. There are about 40 Of these
full-paee illustrations in the book
The book Is splendid specimen Of
printing ON high grade paper and the
material is excellently arranged.
"The Green Mountain Tour will be
a welcome addition to literature on
Vermont.

1T rs announced from rather
high authority in England that the
Gallipoli expedition is now consider
ed a failure. This admission coming
after the failure OF the long and care
fully planned attempt to break
through the German lines in France
will give England another attack OF
nervous prostration. The New York
papers are strongly pro.British and
have failed to tell the full facts in
relation to conditions in England. As
long ago as last May over three mil
lion men had been enlisted in Great
Britain and the home country and
colonies have since added more than
million more. The policy of the
British war department is to depre-
cate reference to enlistments already
made lest it be harder to get more
and as d restlt9nany J people have
been deceived into thinking that the
British army is smaller than that of
the other beligerents, Actually Great
Britain now has more men in the
field than any OF the others save
Germany The British attempt in
France WAS made by probably tow
ard. million and a half carefully
train ed men backed by the strongest
artillery and the, greatest surplus of
Ammunition eyer gathered. Not Of
ficialIy, but dimly and indirectly, the
British public learned the facts and
in the same roundabout way it has
been noised over the islands that
Kitchener'ss great army-the reliance
OF the Sempire- has failed, that the
losses have been enormous and that
the sacrifice of life on gigantic
scale has netted nothing save a few
trenches and aflittle space of no
great value Private personal letters
from England give some idea of the
depth of depression and gloom OF
course the situation isn't as bad as
scared fancy paints it. Rumor and
Imagination in time of trouble are al
ways pessimists. 1t does look, how
ever as though the end of the war
might be approaching-En has
lost some os her bump, while Ger
many ought to be somewhat chasten-
ed by the knowledge that her armies
cannot walk all over Europe at Prus-
sian pleasure.

TUCSON FAIR EARNED
 PROFIT AND GLORY
NEARLY 10000 PAID ADMISSIONS PROVIDE MARGIN OVER
 OPERATING EXPENSES

TUCSON. Mar 23- Nearly 10000 paid admissions. according to the es- inmates Of the fair officials, was the three day record of the Southern Ari- zona Fair which closed Saturday and it is their opinion that the final check ing mp Of the whole matter will show that the meeting has paid a small margin over the regular operating eN- peuses.
 "The officials believe" Secretary Meyers said last evening "that the people of Tucson and the surrounding cities have set their stamp Of approval on Che fair and the program offered, and that the snuccess of the eyhibi- tion demonstrates that the people Of Tucson will unitedly support any worthy enterprise"
 II is expected that within a day or two a public announcement win be issued by fair officials expressing their appreciation Of the support onered and giving complete statement Of the attendance and other details It Is probable that an official announce- meut win be made of the future plans Of the fair association which include a meeting next fall to be arranged in cooperation with the state fair at Phoenix
 The fair officials also feel that the meeting has demonstrated many val uable ways in which future mistakes can be avoided It is the plan of the officials to arrange for a much more thorouah and systematic publicity campaign for the next fair with the employment of am expert press agent and the distribution of interesting publicity matter an over the south west
 The publicity obtained by press matter has been absolutely demon. strated to be far superior to poster advertising and other similar devices and the officials intend to see that this feature is managed by an expert newspaper publicity man the next lime
