"Of all he silly things attributed to

none is so bad as masculine habit
of which women never are guilty, and
that is picking up newspapers left in
cars. Women do not read the papers
in public conveyances to the extent
men do, but when they do, they buy
one. Every woman has too much sense
to run the risk Of taking up a paper
left by fellow passenger. In the first
place, she is too fasti6ious to do so,
but If she were not, she would be de-
TERED by hygienic reasons. She knows
how easy it would be to contract 3
severe Illness in such way. Besides,
there is the principle Of the thing.
Women lock on the reading of other
persons papers as grating, to borrow

STATEEDUCATIONAL BOARD
M. S. Stone Appointed State
Commissioner. Salaries of
Instructors and Super
intendentS Fixed

Mason s. Stone has been appointed
and will continue to act as state commits
sioner of education until the Board OF
Education chooses to select his successor.
The next regular meeting of the board
will not be held until Thursday, Septem.
her 9, so the chances are that Mr.. Stone
will remain in charge of the schools all
summer and perhaps later.
Mr.. Stone accepted the appointment
pro tenn, but only on condition that he
be relieved of the Office as soon as the
welfare of the state will permit. The
resolution adopted by the board reads
as follows:-
Whereas, Mr. Mason S. Stone, the SUI
perintendent of education under the for
mer school law, has rendered his resig-
nation to take effect on August 1, 1915,
but by reason of the passage of the new
school law of 1915 such Office ceased to
exist, and
Whereas, it is necessary to make i'm
mediate appointment of a commissioner
of education by reason of the express
provisions of the law, and that it is the
sense of the board that the services of
Mr.. Stone have been and are invaluable
to the board and state at the present time
and until commissioner can be perma-
nently appointed:
Resolved, That Mr.. Mason S. Stone be
appointed commissioner of education I'M
til such time as the board can make Sc
lection and appointment of permanent
commissioner.
Other transaction by the board includ-
ed the following
A minimum yearly salary of $500 was
fixed for superintendents. One hundred
dollars will be allowed each superintend-
ent of district of two or more units for
travelling expenses on the presentation of
proper vouchers, also actual expenses in
CURED for stationery, postage, express,
distribution of supplies and
other authorized necessary outlay, prop
erly vouched for.

about four and one-h half miles from the
thriving village of Morrisvlle. This farm
consists of $50 acres, and was purchased
by Mr.. Baker of Alonzo Douglass about
thirteen years ago.
At about the time he purchased the
farm Mr.. Baker began working into
thoroughbred cattle. He chose the Jer-
sey breed and has been eminently sue
cessful. First of all, Mr.. Baker is a prac-
tical farmer-a good one-and has been
working at it about every day for nearly
thirty years. He believes in Vermont
and is optimistic concerning the future
of the farmer-the progressive kind. He
believes that twenty-five years from 1915
it will be hard to give away a scrub"
cow and would not be surprised to see
the price of good cows double in that
time as they have in the past twenty live
years.

A salary basis for instructors in teacher

increase of $50 per year until maxi

Commissioner Stone, with the APPROX
al of the board, has completed a group
ing of the school units of the state into
supervision districts.
There are in Vermont PAL town units,
five city units and % incorporated dis
trict units, a total of274 units. OF these,
10 units are exempt under the law, hav-
20 schools or more, and will select their
own superintendents. The remaining
264 units have been grouped so as to form
81 districts with approximately 40 schools
in each. In localities of centralized pop
ulation the number will be slightly more
than the average and in communities of
scattered population the number will be
slightly less.

and usually possesses a dirty nose to

The accompanying illustration tells
how to feed the hogs without going
into the lot or field. The trough is
secured to the ground by means Of
strong stakes and is held at one end
against the fence. A spout made Of
four boards extends from the end of
the trough to the outside and is firm
ly secured to the fence and trough.
The feed is poured through the
spout and it gives such force to the
flow that the far end Of the trough
is usually reached before it is stopped
by the hogs. A paddle is kept by the
fence to force down the solid matter
that tends to accumulate in the spout
and to empty the water that stands
in the trough after a rain.

LAMOILLE COUNTY PuRE.BRED CATTLE
Morrsvie Man Makes Conspicuous Success Registered
Jerseys-Visit to Pleasant Farm of
Warren c. Baker

An increasing interest in thoroughbred
cattle in all sections of Vermont is one of
the encouraging signs OF the forward
movement among the farmers and in this
respect Lamoille County can show as
much progress according to size as any
county in the state.
To substantiate this statement one has
but to attend the present day Lamoille
Valley Fair, where will be found as good
a sho wing of thoroughbre stock as at
any other point in the state--and at only
one or two Fairs beside the State Fair
will there be found larger number. 1t
is significant fact that many farmers of
moderate means are showing interest in
the better cattle movement and are not
leaving this field to the wealthy "gentle-
man farmer''-as was frequently the case
in the past.
In ithe former class Morrsville has
notable example and the purpose of this
article is to emphasize the success of
