Cuttina un Texas

A joint resolution has been introduced
In the Texas Legislature o divide Texas
into two commonweaiths. If the resolu-
ton passes and the proposition receives
the majority of the votes of the people,
the new State to be created out of the
western half of the State will be called
Jefferson. One million people live in the
territory embraced in the proposed new
State and they are in revolt against what
they call the dominance of the liquor in
terests, which they allege, control the
political affairs of Texas. Under the act
which admitted Texas to the Union, the
State can be divided without action on
the part of Congress. Tex IS has an area
of 265, S96 square miles. 1t is larger than
Germany or the Central Atlantic States.
1t is larger than France, which has only
207,000 square miles. 1t would make
four or five States larger than New York.
All the people of the United States could
be accommodated in Texas without be-
ing more crowded than are the people of
New England now. Texas now has
population of more than four millions,
while its area is 7.2 of the territory of the
United States. Compared with this is
Germany, which is smaller than Texas,
and yet has population of GA, 100000.

LamOille Commandery

Lamoille Commandery, Knights TEN
plar, held a special conclave last Wednes-
day. In the afternoon the Red Cross de.
gree was conferred upon E. E. Schutt.
Supper was then taken at The Randall,
and in the evening, at 1880, the Knights
Templar degree was conferred upon Mr..
Schultz, after which occurred the annual
inspection of the Commandery, several
Grand Commandery officials being pres
ent-among them, r. E. o. w. Datey,
White River Junction, Grand Com
mander; R. E. Geo. F. Root of Newport,
Grand Inspector; H. l. Stannard of NAL
ia Commandery, Newport, and G. 1.
Whitney of Holy Gross Commandery,
Bellows Falls.
The occasion was a very interesting
one, and the twenty-five Knights present
were highly omplimented by the officials
upon their military discipline. At mid
night an oyster supper at Sulham's con-
cluded this interesting occasion.
The Commandery is prospecting under
the leadership of Eminent Commander
L. NJ. Munson, who is untiring in his
efforts in behalf of that body. He has
an excellent corps of assistant officers,
and their work shows good results for
Vermont's baby Commandery."

Back to the Old Farms

During the year just closed about 90
000,0 acres OF government-owned lands
were cut up and distributed in home
steads. This means about 125, 900 new
quarter-section farms 100 acres each,
brought under cultivation. The time is
not far away, however, when the hand
ing out of new farms as free gifts must
cease. In fact, the supply during the last
year was nothing like up to the demand.
There has already been a considerable
turning back of the farming industries to
the opportunities held out in the East
Coast States.
Notwithstanding the floods of litera-
ture that have been poured out about
the abandoned farms of New England
aud the South Atlantic States, there is
no such thing as an abandoned farm
anywhere on the map in the sense of be-
ing thrown away for any who choose to
pick it up. There is price upon every
so-called abandoned farm and, though
the asking price is often far below the
actual value, it does explain why land
hunters go the Dakotss and even up into
Canada, where virgin land may yet be
had for the asking.

This plant is known as the Mapevale
plant and the sugar and syrup all bear
a label, Maplevale Brand. Orders for
the new goods are already beginning to
come in from all over the country; in
fact, H. Waite & Son ship maple sugar
and syrup to nearly every State in the
Union. During May, 1914, they shipped
one car each day for seven consecutive
days, besides dozens of small orders An
order recently received was for half
ton, put up in two ounce cakes and this
is only one of the many ways in which
the product is put up here.
To run plant OF this kind requires
good many carloads of syrup and they
are already advertising asking farmers
to contract for their coming crop. This
season they will specialize on soft grain
maple sugar, put up in small glass jars
and friction top tins. This makes a de-
licious luxury, nice for sandwiches, grid !

EauIe Taken by Fishermen.

While herring fishing about fifteen
miles from Filey, Yorkshire, England,
a few days ago, the crew of one of the
boats observed a large bird approach
ing, which, after lowering a short
time, alighted upon the masthead. One
of the lads on board, Immediately COM
menced climbing the mast, thinking to
secure a prize, but on the lad approach
ing it took wing. He had not descend
ed far, however, before the bird re-
turned to its previous position, appar-
emily much exhausted. The lad again
sprang up the mast, and on reaching
the top attempted to grasp the bird,
but his majesty was not to be taken
without a struggle, for he stuck his
talons deep into the boys hand, max
ing the blood flow most freely. The
boy, clinging tightly to the mast with
his legs, threw out the other hand,
seized the bird by the throat, and sue
ceeded, after a little Tapping of the
wing and attempting to bite, in strang-
ling him. He then tied him round his
neck, and came down, bloody VIC
tor. to the deck. The bird was an
eagle of a darkish brown color,
speckled with white, of beautiful
piumage, but excessively lean, about
two feet long, measuring from tip to
tip of wing a little more than five
feet.

Lemb berg, capital of Ga1icia, has fallen before the AustroG German armies which have been sweeping across the province for the last two months An official an- nouncement from the Austrian headquarters says the city was captured by the second army after 8. severe battle.
 Austria has now reclaimed most of the province of Ga1acfa, occu- pied by the Russians early in the war. The Russians are reported to have withdrawn most of their forces and supplies from Lem berg, the fall of which had been regarded in Petrograd for several days as imminent.
 South of Lemberg, in the Dneister region, 8 strip of Aus trian territory is still in the hands of the Russians. An official statement from Petrograd reports an important victory after a bat tie along the river which lasted several days. At Rawa Ruska,S2 miles northwest of Lemb and near the Bukowina border other Russian successes are claimed.
 The Italian general staff an- nounced the arrival of important endorsements for the AuS1anS along the Isonzo front, north of the Gulf of Triest.
 In the Montenero district these forces, believed by the Italians to have been brought in from the Galician front, were encountered for the f1dst time in a battle Fln which, the announcement says, they were repulsed by Alpine troops An unofficial despatch from Geneva says the Italians have captured all the positions defending Malborgeth and are bornbarding the fortress itself.

Paris, June 23-The French war office this afternoon gave out a. state ment on the progress of hostilities, reading as follows:
 'tIn the region to the north of Ar ras bombardments have been contin- ued on both sides, and lasted through out the entire night. The Germans new counter-attacks, one near the Nueville cemetery and the other in the direction of The Labyrinth Each was completely repulsed.
 'eTo the west of the Argonne, not far from the road running from Bi-, narviIle to Vienna-Le-Chateau the fighting is going on in the German On the remainder of the front, in the Argonne, the Germans have expend- ed a vast amount of ammunition but without delivering any infantry at tack.
 'eIn the vosges at Fontene1Ie. in the region of Ban-De-Sept, the enemy yesterday evening, after having thrown hours against one of our works, ad- vanced along a, front of 200 yards and succeeded in gaining a footing. At the same time an attack upon neigh boring trenches was delivered. This German offensive was immediately ch ecked by a French couuter-attack led with great briIliancy. We cap tured almost all the lost ground. The enemy was successful in maintaining his position only at the extremity of our work. We took 142 prisoners, in c1uding three officers.
 'In the region of the Fecht river we have occupied Sondernach, and we have pushed our line along the slopes to the east of this village"

Lemberg, capital of Ga1icia, was oc- cupied by the Russians on September 2, 1914, in the course of the early Russian drive into Austria.
 For the past twenty days, since the Austro-Germans re-took Przemysl, Lemberg has been the objective of a series of fierce and concentrated at tacks on the part of the Teutonic a1- lies. Their success, the Austrians and Germans believe, will have far reaching political effect, as the driv- ing out of the Russians from Cali cia is counted upon to help main tain the status quo in the Balkans.
 The capture of Lenberg was one of the earliest important successes of the Russians. Following it they pushed onward rapidly through Cali cia The high water mark of the in vasion found almost all the province in their hands. They approached within striking distance of Cracow, at the western end of the province close to the German frontier, stormed the heights and passes of the Carpa- thian mountains which separate Cali cia from Hungary, and, to the east swept down through the Crownland of Bukowina to the RumanAan iron tier.
 All this has been changed by the steady succession of Austro- German victories of the last few weeks. The change began with the launching of
