very few years before these slopes
will be washing so badly that it will
be necessary TO take special measures
to hold the soil in place until the trees
can get rooted enough TO hold the soil.
The areas which are not planted will
continue TO wash until bare rock is
reached and the income producing
ability of the land entirely destroyed.
This soil going down the rivers will
furthermore produce another set of
serious problems.
Fortunately many of the farmers of
the county are keen men and are be-
coming interested in this situation,
and it is expected that large areas
will be planted to pine next spring.
The longer it is postponed the more
expensive will this reclamation work
become. In small way the erosion

dollars in forest planting to protect

a.. V. NJ. HONOR SCHOLARSHIP
TO BE CONTINUED

At a meeting Of the executive COM
mittee Of the board Of trustees of the
University of Vermont, held Wednes-
day afternoon, it was voted to con-
tinuc the honor scholarships instituted
last year. These scholarships are pro-
vided by the University entirely from
its own funds, and are given TO the
boy and the girl in every high school
and acadamy in the state, preparing
students for college, who attain the
highest rank in scholarship. This
year az students holding such scholar
ships have entered the University, and
they have formed an organization de-
signed to promote a high standard Of
scholarship and have secured a char
ter from the Secretary Of State. In
order TO remain a member the student
must have a rank Of A or b in at least
half Of his studies and must not fall
below c in any study.
The New York Alumni Association
is supporting student in the Univer-
sity, paying for this purpose $40O a
year throughout the four years
course.

LOOK TO YOUR FEET

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov 15-Because
thin membraneous filament connect
ing his toes made him web-footed,
Frank Leque, louisville, l.. l., thought
he would make a splendid recruit for
that semi-aquatic organization, the
United States Marine Corps, and was
keenly disappointed when Sergeant
George B. McGee, in charge of the
local recruiting station, rejected him
for that very reason. Now Leque be-
lieves that if Uncle Sam can't use
man-duck, he still has a mission in
life. and is contemplating applying for
position as traffic "cop" in the city
of unfixed leaks-Venice.
Sergeant McGee of the Marines was
loath to reject Leque for what he was
pleased to term "duckitis," and he had
momentary visions of the Long Island
recruit being trained actually to walk
on the water and so, in time, to hurdle
hot-foot over kissing combers from
one vessel to another to deliver his

sages from the admiral.
But perfect feet are absolutely es-
sential to Marines, and since the corps
is usually filled up to maximum
strength with exceptionally well-de-
veloped men, the web-footed one was
told that he wouldn't do. Now moth
ing remains for him to do except to
join the Venetian traffic squad, or, as
another rejected applicant told him,
acquire water on the knee and a
floating kidney with your other acA
complishments and you could enter the
Patagonian Navy"

USELESS ANGER

Unless you are tired of life, learn to
control your temper.
Have you ever given a thought as
to why so many men die between the
ages of fifty and ffty-fvc?
You haven't? Well, do you want To
live out your own allotted span Of three
score years and ten?. You do? Then
avoid as very plaques, three things
grief, worry and anger. The latter
particularly, and for this reason:
Time cures grief, and wisdom cures
worry-you get wise as to the utter
futility of it--but there's no time cure
for anger, and it's only the wisest Of
men--and very few there are of them
who are wise enough to make a
point of never getting angry.
Anger, or rage, uses up the vital
forces at an appalling rate. That ex-
hausted feeling which comes over you
after you have been thoroughly angry

that you have, in very truth, taken it

There's another effect, too. A MORN

will deny that; it is common expert
ence. But you have got TO work, new
ertheless, and you are obliged TO sum
mon your precious reserve Of vital
power that you may do what you have
to do.

Mark that word precious" Your
reserve vitality is precious, because it
is that which carries you through i'll

ease. A wise commander keeps his
reserves for emergencies, and you are

Of vital force.
Anger is an emotion, and all emo
tions should be subservient to the will.

power Of your will Admitted, there

THE BOYS ARE GROWING UP

What is this announcement from
Princeton about "Dick" Cleveland? II
says he has made the varsity foot
ball team and gives indications of be-
ing very competent halfback, being
six feet tall and big in proportion, as
his father was. Don't you know who
'Dick" Cleveland is? He is the son of
Grover Cleveland.
1t is only yesterday that President
Cleveland and Frances Folsom were
married-and "Dick" wasn't the oldest
child. And now the big New Yorker,
who was the first Democrat to take
the presidential chair in a generation,
has long been gathered to his fathers,
the bride of the White House is Mrs.
Preston of New Jersey, and Dick is a
varsity halfback six feet tall.
And what was this in the papers
last Sunday about Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr, to the effect that his new baby
was the third? Just a little while
ago he was spindling kid who tried
to make the freshman football team at
Harvard and took beating without
quitting that made his strenuous faith
er wept for joy when he heard about
it. A mere child, this Teddy, Jr. What
is all this talk about new grandchil-
dren for T. r.?
"The youngest American Prssi-
dent" That was Teddy the elder
His mustache is white to-day. I'm
possible! Yet "he is fifty-six years
old, looks forty-six and feels as men
of thirty-six wish they felt" as Julian
Street recently described him. He was
a young man of forty-two the other
day when he became President, and
his children were all youngsters And
now he has five or six grandchildren.
How time does fly? Yesterday we
chummed around with boy just out
of high school: stood up with him at
his wedding, maybe. To-day we meet
him with husky youngster five inch
es taller than he is, whom he proudly
as his second boy. Only
little while ago we knew a girl in a
white graduation dress-a pretty little
beginning to get her hair
up and her dresses down. This week
we meet her on the street and she
says her daughter writes home that
she is enjoying Vassar immensely.

surprising thing about it, to most of

are not bit older than we ever were.

PAYING MILLIONS TO
WESTERN FARMERS
New England Should Grow, Rather
Than Buy Feeds and Small Grains

The New England states have been
paying out millions to Western farm
ers each year for small grains, instead
OF raising them II lone He; poultry
eats up more grain than she produces.
Although the climate, soil and other
growing conditions are adapted to the
growing of cereals, she buys more
oats than she raises each year.
The growing season, rainfall and
the nature of the soils are all suited
to small grain production. Continu-
GUS cropping without rotation has
made many of her farms Increasingly
productive. Grain farming, with the
use Of manure and fertilizers to re-
build the soils to their former pro-
ductive ability, would establish New
England's production higher and place
her agriculture on permanent basis.

Argentine No Longer Able to Get
German Spuds and Looks to Ameri-
cans.
New England potato growers
should take advantage of the export
trade to South America opened since
the beginning Of the European war.
Argentine is now looking to the Unit
ed States for large quantities of pota-
toes and stands ready to pay quality
prices for quality goods" says Prof.
Henry G. Bell, formerly professor Of
Agronomy and Manager of Farms,
University of Maine.
Export potatoes must be of high
quality, of the table grade free from
disease and mechanical injury and
must be packed in bushel crates. Ger
many has been sending quality pota-
toes to Argentine and getting high
prices. Now the trade is willing to
pay the price but expects quality"
says Professor Bell, who has been
studying the potato situation in the
United States for years.
Proper soil treatment and the bal
ancing of plantfood is essential to the
growing of potatoes Of high quality.
Potatoes make the greater part Of
their growth within 60 days and they
must have plenty Of food while grow
ing, explains Professor Bell. There
is also limited market in South
America for small, sound potatoes.

VERMONT RAILWAY STATIONS

Ii is evident that the Standards
good friend, the Rutland Herald, is
considerably excited over a recent edi-
torial in this paper calling attention
to the disgraceful conditions, in gem
eral and in detail, of stations along
the line Of several Vermont railroads.
The Herald's excitement finds vent in
an editorial criticism of this paper, in
the course of which appears the fol-
lowing truism:
ut is just as foolish to attack rail-
roads bitterly, vindictively and with
out just cause as to attack the gran
ite business or the scale manufactur-
ing industry, to say nothing about the
SPAWN cure factory or the green calf
skin enterprise ?
The Standard subscribes to the fore
going sentiment without reservation,
believing il to express the true policy
governing newspaper comment re-
garding the railroads or any other
industry affecting the civic life Of
Vermont At the same time it is just
as much against good public policy for
the press 10 be muzzled and TO ignore
manifestly deplorable conditions
which obtain in railroad management
the same as in everything else.
The Standard does not believe in
railroad batting. On the contrary it
has always recognized and testified
to the great debt the people Of this
country owe the railroads.
