1t has long been considered wise
to apply to old men for advice and
the fact that Ex-senator George F.
Edmunds is eighty seven years old
gives interest and weight to the ad-
vice he has given Pres. Wilson in
personal letter regarding the German
situation. He said in part
The German reply to your second
protest and remonstrance against the
inhuman and barbaric destruction by
submarines Of the lives of many
peaceful citizens of our country is, in
my opinion, in substance an attempt
to justify or else to evade responsible
ity for all of the slaughter of our civil
ian citizens which it has knowingly
situation plainly stated in your COM
munication remains just what it was.
Were not the German government
so full of culture" and therefore, as
it thinks, so logical, should suppose
that it was trying upon you Fabian or
Chinese tactics which l feel most
strongly this nation should resent.
Let us then cease correspondence
and withdraw our ambassador and
send to the German ambassador his
passports.
1 am an old man and have for
long time publicly worn the badge
of the Massachusetts, Peace Society,
but l can no longer endure the awful
spectacle without an expression of
my opinion to further discussion un-
der present circumstances.

Cow Testing Associations.

An article in the last issue Of the
seven herds of cattle that have been
continuously in the Newaygo County
Dairy Testing Association of Michi-
gan, the first association formed in
this country. The number of cows in
these diaries has varied from fifty
when it was organized to eighty for
the years 1911 and 1912. The total
cost of feed per COW has risen from
$31.41 in the first year to $49.27 for
1918, the last year for which the rec
ord is given. During the same per-
iod the cost of a pound of butter fat
has raised from 1877 cents to 1913
cents and the cost of 100 pounds of
milk from 1913 cents to sos cents.
These figures suggest that cow test
ing is expensive but here are the rest
of the figures. The butter fat test
has raised from 1872 per cent to asa
per cent; the pounds of butter fat per
cow from 231.1 pounds to 2S4.7
pounds; the value of fat per cow from
$53.88 to $10O.35; the profit per
COW from $22.23 to $51.OS; and the
returns on a dollar expended for
feed from $40 to $2.04 and one
year it went to $2.15.
So the actual results show a steady
increase in the profits of COW test
ing association to those who have
been in it continuously These fig
ures should be very carefully studied
by the members of the cow testing
associations in this county and have
much influence in determining
whether or not they should be con-
tinued. The first testing association
in this country was established at
Fremont, Mich, in 1905. They are
now organized in thirty different
states and number 165, there being
an increase of sixty three during the
year 1914. Caledonia county has
more COW testing associations than
any other county in Vermont and
these figures should influence our
farmers to maintain their leadership
for years to come.

A Mexican Suggestion.

reader of The Caledonian after
reading the editorial on The Next
can Problem" in last weeks issue
made suggestion that seems worth
careful consideration at this time.
He has visited Mexico and been famil-
lar for years with conditions there.
He said If he was to attempt to es-
tablish peace there he would put a
large United States army into the
city of Mexico, a force sufficient to
hold it against all corners and that
could be sent into any section where
there was perfidy in dealing with the
United States authorities. Then he
would send out United States officials
can army to put down the guerilla
warfare and depredations that have
destroyed the country and pay them
better wages than they would receive
from any insurrectionist.
With the shipments of arms and
ammunition from the United States
into Mexico stopped it would be i'm
possible for any rebellion to assume
dangerous proportions. With
strong native army to protect the
property holders there would be no
chance for the desperate bodies to
rob and pillage and maintain them
selves as armed forces. Then the
Mexican half breeds will do anything
for money. They would serve in an
army of pacification as quickly as
with the desperadoes if they are sure
of their pay.
1t seems to us this suggestion has
much merit in it. First it would rob
the despeardoes of their leaders.
Then a native army could be operat-
ed at less expense than an American
army and would be better acquainted
with the tactics necessary to eXter-
inmate the plundering desperadoes.
In this way the restoration of order
and security in Mexico would not be
the serious problem it would if only
American soldiers were fighting
against a united Mexico. 1t would
save American lives and prove more
satisfactory than complete American
occupation. Think it over, reader,
and see If it is not worth considering
in connection with the Mexican
problem.

The Deertield Valley Times takes
The Caledonian to task for calling
attention to the fact that the deficit
of the national government and It's
expenses are showing a great growth
and says 1.-TWO and a quarter years
is not time enough to get a proper
perspective of the work of any ad-
ministration exacting so many radi-
cal readjustment in our business
and political life" The effectiveness
of the democrats in wiping out the
large surplus placed in the national
treasury by the republicans after
paying all the expenses of construct
ing the Panama canal up to the time
they went out of power and creating
a deficit nearly as large as the sur
plus is a fact that cannot be blinked
out in two or ten years. 1t. is the
record they have made and while
they are straining every nerve to in
crease the revenue of the government
by the taxation of a part of the peo-
pie the deficit continues to grow. 1t
does not take years to recognize the
failure of a perosn or an admins
tration when it has so completely
raided the public treasury as the
present one has done.

Vermont has a spot that if gen.
orally known would attract many
Automobiles seeking a cool place on
a warm day. 1t is located in the
town of Wallingford and is known as
the Wallingford Ice Gorge. 1t is on
the mountain side about four miles
south and east from the village of
Wallingford. Last Friday, a very hot
day, the editor, his wife, and the Hon.
]. E. Buxton and Mrs. Cliff of Mid
dletown Springs visited the place
and the temperature was not above
sixty all day. Ice was in plain sight
among the rocks and a fine spring of
ice water flowed from under the
great mass of rocks piled for hun
dreds of feet up the end of the mount
ain. Not a fly or insect invaded the
cool glen and we found it the most
pleasant place to spend a hot day
ever visited in Vermont.
