ably fatally, and then rushed to a
nearby cemetery and shot himself, fall
ing dead over the grave of his young
wife
Letters found upon Dollars body and
other evidence showed that the tragedy
had been carefully planned. His con
version Sunday night was apparently
the climax of his preparations. Having
made plans for the disposition Of his
business affairs and tentative arrange
ments for the funerals, Dollar turned
to the church.
The tragedy was brought on by the
sudden death of Dollars wife about
five weeks ago. Dollar brooded con
stantly. Daily he visited ais wife s
grave and sat there for hours at a
time. In a letter written last Thursday
to minister he said that he wanted to
JOIN his wife in heaven, and that he
was going to take his entire family
with him.

1t is manifestly unfair for the Unit
ed States to defer action in its nego-
tiations with Great Britain over the
blockade illegalities just because Ger
many has attempted to force us to
hasten such action However much
the administration may be piqued at
the German way of putting the sub
marine concessions as contingent upon
our success in securing notifications
OF England S policy, now that the
German issue is apparently settled it
is high time to turn to the Fastening
OF a settlement with England on the
less important matter of the seizure of
non-contraband cargoes and the deten-
ton of mails. The United States should
strive above all other things to de-
serve a reputation for fairness.

Summer Homes of Vermont.
(Northfeld News. J


We acknowledge the receipt Of the
annual publication by the Central
Vermont Railway company, the at
tractive booklet describing the sum
mer homes of Vermont.
We are looking for a large number
of tourists in Vermont this year in
consequence of there being no Expo
sition and people are not able to go
abroad. For that reason New England
is expecting more tourists this year
than ever before.
The edition numbers 5000 copies
which will be distributed through the
medium of advertisements in the city
papers etc, as heretofore. 1t is not
for distribution i'll Vermont but is sent
outside of the state in order to induce
people to come here to spend their va
cations.
This is the Goth consecutive wear
this book has been put out and it has
done great work in the way of bring
ing tourists to Vermont, especially to
farm homes, as there not many large
desirable hotels. We believe tnat the
time is not far distant when there will
be large hotels to entertain tourists.
not only in the summer but in the win
ter. Vermont has all the natural at
fractions for the all-year tourist.

Some interesting facts about agri-
culture were brought out in the SEN
ate during the discussion of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Bill that should be
generally known. From 1850 to 1910
the rural population of the country
decreased from 70.5 per cent to 81
per cent of tne whole. The number
of tenant farmers increased from %
per cent to 81 per cent. The aggre-
gate wealth of the farmers of the
United States is about $4,000, OO0. 900
and their Indebtedness about $4,000
100000, and their annual interest
charge is estimated at $500,000.0 900.
From 1900 to 1910 the crop produc-
ton of this country increased 10 per
cent but the population increased
twice as much and the cost OF food
from 1896 to 1912 increased so per
cent. This last item shows the need
Of more farmers to keep the cost of
living reasonable and if the loan bill
which has just passed the senate will
produce more farmers it will be hailed
with delight.
We are not sure, however, that more
farmers is the only need to reduce the
cost of living. We doubt if the farmer
can produce food at less prices than
he is receiving and that a large part
of the increased price of food is due
not to reduced production but rather
to increased cost of distribution.
Everything in the food line has to be
delivered at tle consumer s door these
days. Much of it is put into attrac-
tive and expensive packages, all of
which has to be paid for by the con
sumner and this is responsible in large
degree for the increased costs. How
ever, the change of about % per cent
of our population from producers to
consumers must increase the cost of
food and the country needs more
farmers.

Horsepower is a term which is used
to describe the brute strength of the
automobile wlen there are no hills or
sand in sight. 1t is one of the most
tiuctuating terms in use, as the pur-
chaser never knows whether the agent
is referring to a Belgian draft horse
or Shetland pony
Before a new automobile is delivered
to the customer it is fitted up with
headlights, trunk tray, motometer and
eight-day clock, after which tae horse
power is inserted under the hood.
where the owner can not see it strug-
gle. After the car has been driven a
few months this horsepower begins to
ooze away in large chunks. which is
very discouraging to the man VINO is
demonstrating its pulling quality to a
friend who Is about to buy. Many
man has lost a nice commission on a
new car by taking out a prospect in
his own machine and having it stran-
gle itself to death on nine per cent
grade. The only place to demonstrate
the horsepower of an automobile is on
paved street which starts from the
top of long hill.
Some automobiles have more horse
power tlan others. but none of them
can pull out of a mudhole without the
aid of farm team One of the most
CHASTITY sights in life is that of a huge.

icy in Vermont if the state is to real
lze the great advantages and benefits
which might come from an efficient
system of good roads.
In the course of an editorial analy-
SIS of state expenditures the Rutland
Herald touches upon the matter of the
wasteful expenditure of highway
funds. The Herald goes to the root of
the matter in the following language:
1.-The waste in spending highway
funds is self evident. Under the pre-
sent hybrid system of joint town and
state control, there is no central board
which the voters may hold responsible
for the expenditure of state money,
so the expenditure of the state auto
mobile fund, for instance, is a matter
for the judgment, caprice or political
advantage of the state highway com
missioner
With the expenditures for one year
running into a million and a quarter,
all business men viii agree that there
should be central state board, either
composed of existing state officers or
organized separately, which could be
held directly responsible for this ex-
pend1ture and which should indicate
the general scope of the work done
Herewith.
Furthermore, with highway expen-
dltures increasing annually, it is clear
Iy important that such new and per
manent work as may be undertaken
slOuld be laid out by a competent en-
gineer, with properly established grad
es and accurate reports of results. The
rule-of-thumb and hip pocket methods
of the past have done very well. but
the time has come for better business
methods in the handling of our public
money
The foregoing is exactly in line with
the STANDARD s repeated contention
that the construction of permanent
highways in Vermont should be treat
ed as an engineering proposition, for
that is what it is.
1t Is only by treating it as an en-
gineering problem and putting the
building and maintenance of highways
under full state control that Vermont
VIII be able to have continuous lines
Of mudless and Justices roads.
The weak links in Vermont's pres
emit trunk lines have been in evidence
throughout the state during the thaw-
ing out process of the spring months,
and constitute an object lesson and ar
fragment of what has been fitlv term
ed tle string-bean method Of road
building.
The Importance of modernlv con
strueted highways to the welfare and
development of the state and the great
amount now expended annually by the
highway department demand the
adoption of a highway policy by Yer
mont that will abolish waste, insure
full state control, and point the wa
to the construction of highways suited
to the traffic conditions of the present
day.

man can put the Drawn and muscle of
seventy Clydesdale three year-olds into
