1t is popular thing to crack jokes at
the weather predictions, but as a matter
of fact the forecasts sent out by the Unit
ed States weather bureau are correct in a
great majority of cases. The statements
regarding the expected weather p to As
hours ahead are of incalculable value to
shipping interests in avoiding dangerous
conditions The bureu Is now planning to
publish a forecast covering an entire week
ahead. 1t will not be possible to have
these predictions as nearly right as those
for shorter period, but it is believed that
the weekly statement will be very helpful
to farmers

The action of the trustees of the
state university in Offering induce
ments to the pupils of the various high
schools and academies in Vermont to
make special efforts to excel in their
work by providing free tuition to the
amount of 500 for each pupil who
leads, is one that viii be appreciated
throughout Vermont. The state legis-
lature could not see its way clear to
the provision of free tuition for Yer
mont students, but the project now
undertaken by the trustees of the uni
versity on their own initiative is 4
step in the direction indicated Many
worthy young man or young woman
IS handicapped in the desire to secure
9 college education by lack of means,
and the provision IN question will be
a material aid at a time when it is
most needed at the beginning of the
college course. We congratulate the
state university on its progressiveness.

We should be more in sympathy
with the strange proceedings at law
in Wisconsin to suppress the manufac-
ture in this country of munitions of
war for the fighting nations OF Europe
if there were any indication that any
moral purpose or desire for neutrality
of action stood behind it, says the
Hartford Courant The complaint de-
clares that the duration of the war
would be materially shortened, etc, if
the sale of arms and ammunition by
the United States should be prevented.
In. other words, if the United States
should prevent the sale of arms and
ammunition to European countries the
chances of Germany's winning would
be materially increased. That is the
German point of view and the German
idea of neutrality. 1t does not ring
sound, however, to really neutral ears.

Hard Nu3 to Crack.
st. Adams Messenger

Regulating the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors is certainly hard problem
to solve correctly. In some states the
/" drys" are fighting for local option,
while in local option commonwealth
they strive for statewide prohibition.
In England the clergy refuse to give
its sanction to prohibition because
they fear it would be followed by .
great wave of incompetence Ministers
in this country are divided Naturally
laymen are. But on one point prae
tically all seem to be agreed; that
the use of Intoxicating liquor is to be
roundly condemned and to be eliminat-
ed from the national life. The diff
ference of opinion has to do with the
immediate method. Some think it can
be done all at once, while Others be-
lieve that this is impossible and
must be accomplished more slowly and
by the aid of industrial necessities and
education. In time the way ont will
be found.

1t is a cause for qualification that crop
reports coming from all parts Of the Unit
ed States are propitious High prices for
grain and the prospect that European de-
mands will be heavy for a long time have
induced the American farmer to plant a
largely increased acreage. If the harvest
is again bountiful the United States will
be in a position to come to the relief Of
other countries in a substantial way.
