EMBARGO AND HIGH PRICES

Congressman Fitzgeralds purpose
to press for an embargo on food prod
ucts will run counter to the presi-
dents ideas; but it is not the first
time that Mr.. Wilson has found him
self at outs with the Brooklyn leader.
If the embargo should be laid it
would afford an immediate and un-
mistakable answer to the question:
What is the cause of high prices ?"
Out west, where wheat is high, the
Democrats have always claimed the
credit for the Wilson administration.
Down east, where bread is high, they
lay it to the war in Europe. Mr..
Fitzgerald thinks the latter is the
cause of it all. evidently, and if he
can stop the expectation of foodstuffs
overseas, we can all tell mighty quick
whether it is the wartime trade that
causes us all to dig down so deep for
the necessaries.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
Vocational Education.

President Wilson in his personally
delivered message to Congress De-
cember 9Th, gave the vocational
education bill good send-off when
he said:
"At the last session of the Con-
gress bill was passed by the Senate
which provides for the promotion of
vocational and industrial education
which is of vital Importance to the
whole country because it concerns a
matter, too long neglected, upon
which the thorough industrial prep
aration If the country for the criti-
cal years of economic development
Immediately ahead of US in very
large measure depends. May not
urge it's early and favorable con-
sideration by the House of Repre-
sentatives and it's early enactment
into law? 1t contains plans which
affect all interests and all parts of
the country andI am sure there is no
legislation now pending before the
Congress whose passage the country
awaits with more thoughtful APP
proval or greater impatience to see
a great and admirable thing set in
the way of being done"
This bill is the one Senator Carroll
S. Page has so long labored upon,
and first introduced. 1t failed pas
sage at that time, but its Importance
was not lost, and when the Demo-
cratic administration came in it was
taken up and introduced by another
member only to meet the fate given
to Senator Pages bill. 1t is sure to
come, however, for the people want
it, and it should be nationallaw in
order for all the boys and girls in
the United States to be benefited.
No matter under whose name it be-
comes law, the fact that Senator
Page was first given credit for it,
and it was largely through his encr-
gy and efficient labor that it took
shape and secured so firm hold on
public opinion, will always connect
Vermont and Senator Page with this
far-reaching and constructive tduca-
tional legislation, and it will go
down in history as supplementing
the great and valuable work Of the
Morrill, Agricultural College bill.
This bill has the loyal support of
President Wilson and Vermonters
are going to take much interest in
its passage.

"Sound" Criticism.

The editor of the Merrytown Mail
received a complimentary copy of a
musical composition from friend who
desired favorable criticism of his
work. This is what appeared in the
next issue:
"As the editor Of this journal doesn't
know demi-semiquaver from dia-
pason or bass clef from high o.
he will not therefore be expected to
give an extended notice of this pro-
duction. We can say, however, that
the type used in printing the compost
ton is clear and plain, and that the
paper appears to be of the best quality
of rag. The design on the front page
Is most artistic, and the words are as
tender as real spring chicken and as
poetic as the song of the meadow lark
on May morning. The melody is
sound and all right. The harmony,
too, appears to be strictly o. X, with
no patent defects or noticeable blem-
ishes. The tonality Is clear and re-
sonant, and rests ON harmonic rela-
tons and melodic elements This is
about all the praise in connection with
said composition we are able to evolve
from our cabbage-favored tempera-
ment."

From u Sherburne Correspond
ent.

History is repeating itself in this
section and like tobacco in Virginia,
potatoes and cabbage were legal
tender in Sherburne this fall. A
farmer could fill his pockets with po-
tatoes and exchange them at any of
the stores for a bill of groceries that
would last the family for several
days; for what cabbage he could car
ry in his arms one farmer bought a
brass bed and received 81 cents in
change, while another whose old hen
turkey brought her setting safely
through the perils of infancy drove
the flock to town and took back a
Ford fully equipped and a pair of
extra tires.
