Cattle Industry Growing.

The Indianapolis News discovers
from the government figures regard
ing the lease of national forests for
grazing that the cattle industry in
this country is growing. Forage in
these forests has been engaged for
1,9S3,775 cattle and horses, 8,747,-
OBS sheep and goats and 64,040
swine This is an increase over 1914
of nearly 100000 horses and cattle
and a decrease of about 12O, 900
cattle is very timely as the demand
for beef is growing faster than the
supply Consequently the price of
beef is likely to hold firm for years to
come
The value of cattle at the pres
ent time in Vermont is well shown
by a recent tour of Massachusetts
men with w. A. Kicker, Vermont's
cattle king, through this section in
search of grade mich cows. They
found the kind of cows they desired
but the farmers asked from $50 to
500 for COWS they only wanted to
pay from $50 to $50 per head. The
farmers held them at their own prices
rather than sell them for what was
considered a fancy price few years
ago. When Vermont farmers keep
their COWS rather than accept prices
lower than those quoted it indicates
me confidence on their part that the
increase in supply is not. great
enough to endanger prices. The

Attorney General Barber an
nounces that since he took charge of
the Office he has expended only 500
for detective service during the past
five months. This is very comfor-
table showing when compared with
the $500 per month for the year
previous to Mr.. BARRIERS taking Of
fee. Mr.. Barber has not paid a
cent for detectives outside the state
but has insisted on the local officers
doing their duty. Aside from the re-
cent break at Middlebury Jail we do
not recall single instance of a sus-
pected criminal making an easy es-
cape. Mr.. Barber is doing just as
we have expected he would, giving
the state a clean, efficient and eco
administration.

The exhibition of Martin H. Glib
son of Ryegate at Montpelier, when
he enticed nearly thirty workmen
from his lumber camp in Fayston on
the promise that he would pay them
there was one that raises indignation
to its highest point. He owed each
man from 500 to $500 for their
winters work and they came for the
pay to which they were entitled, only
to find themselves without money,
shelter or food in a strange town.
Mr.. Gibson had got them off his
premises and was free from the ex-
pense of further board of his men
and evaded for some time paying
them their Just dues. He may have
saved a few dollars but has gained
nothing in the respect of the thou
sands that have heard of the affair.

COMMUNITY EDITORIAL
Ryegate a Thrifty Town of Scotch
Descendants, and Its Farms.

Ryegate nestles at the base of Blue
Mountain that looks down upon a
community whose first settlers came
from Dun Cartonshire, Scotland, the
birthplace of st. Patrick; some from
Blderslie, the birthplace of Sir VIM.
Wallace; some from Renfrew that
gives the title of Baron Renfrew to
the Prince of Wales; some from the
vicinity where remain the ruins Of
the castle where Queen Mary slept
the night before the battle of Lang
side; some from Paisley, noted as one
of the most highly cultivated farming
the land of John Knox. They brought
with them Scotch thrift, strong le-
ligiOus convictions and love for ed
ucation which has been shown by the
each year to the different preparatory
schools, colleges and universities of
the country. Some years as high as
seventeen from the immediate COM
munity of Ryegate, some to become
doctors, some missionaries some
nurses, some engineers, some
mechanics, some teachers and many
good citizens in other states. Had
the thousands of dollars spent on the
education of families been spent on
the buildings and up-keep of the
farms (already in high state of Gull
tivation) the town of Ryegate might
today be a section of country not to
be duplicated in many states of the
union.
But money alone does not satisfy
the metaphysical mind of a Scotch
man. Conservative by nature, not
given to great swelling words but
very appreciative of intellect, he ad--
mires something in the head as we'll
as in the barn. After graduating
from college the young men are set
thing on the farms ready to try out |
methods of present day |
farming. The outlook ought to be |
with the farms so well |
equipped with high-grade diaries of
Jerseys, Guernseys, Holsteins, Ayr
5hires and Durhams. The soil pro-
ductive, the barns indicate the ex-
Dectations of the owners for a large
yield of hay. This is the educational
and financial condition existing in
Ryegate.
All work and no play makes Jack

After reading Editor Johnson's ed
itoriaI on Rats we are convinced
that the Herald and News is run by
a man who has missed his calling.
He might be an auctioneer or pro-
moter for a western Shutdown" or an
exhorter at a revival meeting. How
ever, his thrilling rat article comes
out much the same as the hired mans
rat hunt when he reported that if
he got the one he was after and two
more he would have three. But the
hired mans story was told before
people talked in the millions so Ed
itor Johnson's figures are more time
ly and he will be unanimously sent
to the head of the rat class.

We have Witherspoon Lake or Tickle

camp fire gatherings of young girls,
cottages neat and well equipped for
lovers of nature, peace and quiet. We
had last year the children's contest in
the Blue Mountain Grange. A con
test for the best showing of vegeta-
bles raised by children. 1t was a
commendable enterprise. There are
numerous ways and availble mate
rial in this community for a fall fes-
tival of music and an exhibit of the
products of the farms.
There is opportunity for other
states to hear of Ryegate through

pure bred GUernseys, it's pure bred
Jersys, Ayrshires, Holsteins and

Child welfare conferences.

A series of nine child welfare con
ferences are scheduled in May fol-
cities from Chicago to San Francisco
and the speakers are referred to in
public prints as crusaders. 1t is also
announced that Mrs. Frederic Schoff,
president Of the National Mothers
Congress, is director of the home ed
ucation division, which since its or
ganization in September, 1918, has
enrolled over $1,000 women from all
able to cooperate in organizing pa
rents for study of child nature and
home making. The plan of the home
education work is said to be the or
ganization of the parenthood Of the
world for study of childhood's needs
and the promotion of child welfare"
This sounds like a very worthy
purpose and most people would pro-
nounce it a noble work. The
necessity of an organization of $1,000
women for such a purpose raises
rather interesting and suggestive
questions. Have women and moth
ers become incompetent to deal with
childhood needs and welfare? The
object of the organization mentioned
above certainly suggests it. If they
have, why and how? We offer this
answer; By refusal to conduct the
work of the home themselves. We
CT not
large proportion of these home cru
saders do little if any of the actual
work of the household. Treating
house work as something beneath
themselves they cannot ask their
daughter to take any part in it. AS
a result the girls are mincing their
way through the various education
al courses" and busying themselves
with the expenses and luxuries of $50
ciety." They are getting no practice
or useful training in home life and
home arts because their mothers will
not identify themselves with such
work.
The father is busy in some office
earn enough money to maintain the
servants that child nurture and well
fare demand" He is engaged in
some special work, necessarily so to
get enough money to support the
household, that his sons can be of
no service in because they have not
had the necessary special training. !
So the idea of helping father" is
nearly obsolete. The result is that
both boys and girls are being reared |
without any knowledge of usefulness.
Regular work for the children in |
which they can gain a reasonable
proficiency is seldom found in the |
homes of these crusaders. Hence
the necessity of a crusade.
We predict that when the crusade |
is over it will be found there is no
better home training for the children
than instruction in the useful arts
of the household by a mother ac-
lively engaged in them. Let the
mother become useful in the home
herself and teach her children the
same usefulness and we believe more
good will be accomplished than by
crusade that would stretch clear from
Chicago to the Heather Chinee."

If Justice Charles E. Hughes would
accept the republican nomination for
the presidency in 1916 there would
be no difficulty in uniting the forces
that divided in 1912 and electing
him president. He still possesses the
good judgment, the frmness and
force that helped him win battles
against the strong political organi-
cations of New York state while he

which was strongly republican, con-
sumed a great deal of time in party
legislation to the detriment of many
important matters, which should have
been settled more satisfactorily, as
for instance, the Boston and Maine
railroad legislation, the direct super
vision of district schools, the chill
dren's guardianship measure, care of
imbeciles and labor improvements.
The Granite state legislature.
which was in session los days passed
/ 264 bills and So joint resolutions,
which were signed by the governor.
During the first weeks of their ses-
sion they passed a bill allowing the
Boston and Maine railroad to adjust
their mileage rate in the state so
that it should be uniform with the
Interstate rate of 2 II cents per mile.
They also authorized the leased lines
in the state to form among them
selves the New Hampshire railroads
system, if it should seem necessary
to the stockholders to do so.
The act limiting political expen
ditures is considered to be the most
progressive piece of legislation. By
this law candidates for Office are linn
tied as follows: Governor and Uni
ted States senator, $1,000; congress
man, $3.50; councillor, $3.50; state
senator or county officer, $3.50; rep |
resentative to the general assembly,
$50. Primary expenses would be
limited as follows: Governor and
United States senator, $1,000; con-
gresham, $500; councillor, $3.50;
state senator or county officer, 500;
representative, $25.
At the eleventh hour the teachers
pension bill was passed. A measure
of this kind to help the aging under
paid teachers of the state was great
1y needed. The mothers pension
bill of the 1913 legislature was right
fully upheld. This necessary enact
ment provides for all destitute moth
ers throughout the state. The legiS-
lature passed the highway appropria
ton bills, providing for improve
ments on the present state roads and
the establishment of new cross roads.
A bill, instigated by Fish and Game
Commissioner Beal, to reimburse the
farmer for any damage done to his
by sportsmen or deer was
passed.
The Massachusetts legislature has
recently passed the labor clean
milk bill. The new law provides that
the state health department shall :
have absolute authority in the en- I
forcement of milk inspection. This :
very important article of food upon
which babies are especially depend
emit should surely be put in the hands
Of men whose authority is unlimited.
The innkeeper's bill, which has
legislature, is a measure that is need
ed in every state. This bill, insti-
gated by the white slave" commits
sion. requires that every hotel keeper
shall keep an honest register of
guests, such register to be subject to
state inspection.
The Massachusetts, legislature has
llso taken an advance step in voting
o CONSIDER" woman suffrage, so
hat at the next election it will come
lp for the popular vote. This i'm
,ortant question of woman suffrage
las been settled by several states,
principally in the West and neces-
arily will be by many additional
tates.

Connecticut is to put fifty boys in
the state reformatory to work on the
highway next Monday morning and
will pay them fifty cents day while
engaged in that work. This is to be
undertaken as an experiment and
marks a departure in Connecticut
policy towards its wards. 1t may
prove good but we hardly expect it
will be equal to the practical train
ing given the Vermont boys on the
farm and in the shops of the Yer
mont Industrial School
