The Vital Principle We Call Life.

From John Burroughs 5 new volume
of essavs-''The Breath of Life. u
The solid carbon forms the vessei in
which the precious essence Of life is
carried. Without carbon we should
evaporate or flow away and escape.
Much OF the oxygen and hydrogen en-
tiers into living bodies as water; nine
tenths of the human body is water; a
little nitrogen and a few mineral salts
make up the rest. So that our life in
its final elements is little more than
stream Of water holding in solution
carbonaceous and other matter, and
flowing, forever flowing, q stream OF
fluid and solid matter plus something
else that scientific analysis cannot
reach-some force or principle that
combines and organizes these elements
into the living body.
If man could be reduced instantly
into his constituent elements we
should see d pail or two of turbid
fluid that would flow down the bank
and soon be lost in the soil That
which gives us our form and stability
and prevents us from splitting down the
slope at al times is the mysterious vi
tai principle or force which knits and
marrics these unstable elements to-
gether and raises up mobile but more
or less stable form out of the world
of fluids. Venus rising from the sea is
a symbol Of the genesis of every lily
ing thing.

A Hold-Up System.
Farm and Fireside. }


Transferring farm ownership from
seller to buyer should not be the occa-
sion for a hold-up, but too often this is
exactly what occurs in two senses. From
five to ten million dollars is not too
great an estimate of the needless ex-
pense involved in the transfer of Amer
lean farms annually.
In certain states and parts of states,
among which are Illinois, Minnesota,
New York, Massachusetts, and Wash
| ingtOn. the transfcrence of farm from
seller to buyer is merely the matter of
minutes after the transaction is brought
to the attention of the registrar of the
county. The certificate of the registrar
thereafter settles the matter. There is
no going back on his certificate. Law
yers and abstracters' fees are no long
er necessary. Every time a tract of land
changes hands the certificate of title Is
transferred to the owner.
| This new plan, which makes possible
the quick, safe, and sane changing of
/ land ownership, is known as the Torrens
! system of keeping the record of land
titles. All that is required under the
| Torrens system is for the owner of land
| to take his abstract to the registrar of
/ titles of the county. If the deed is found
good certificate of title is issued by
the registrar.
| Then why not make use of this sys-
/ tenn the country over? All farmers are
! keen for this new system as soon a,
| they realize its advantages, but efforts
/ to adopt it are met by strong Opposi-
| ton from lawyers and abstracters, and
/ the makers of our laws, be it remem
/ bered, are practically all lawyers.

Mr.. Wilson a Candidate.
Burlington Free Press

There may have been some doabt
whether President Wilson would ac-
cept a denomination, but all doubt has
been eliminated on that score. The
Vermont law provides that if a man
wants to be candidate for the presi7
dency il our state, he must say 50
squarels and not try to back up to it.
President Wilson has complied with
this law b. having filed his written
assent to the use of his name as a
candidate, as required b. our law.
President Wilson is the only man
who has filed his assent with Secreta
ry of State Bailey, and if any othei
candidate is to comply with the law

This last note to Germany was in
evitable 1t has been inevitable, since
the sinking of the Lusitania. The sit
uation has changed since that time only
in two respects: We have accumulated
the added responsibility for a loss of
life that "has grown month by month
until the ominous toll has mounted into
the hundreds to quote our own words
to the German government; and the step
which we have finally seen ourseles
obliged to take, discounted by months
of irrelevant and purposeless discussion,
comes now without the force of a
prompt and unwavering decision.
Whether the possibility of war has
thereby been rendered more certain
cannot be foretold. That depends sole
~ on how Germany regards the expedi
ency of an open break at this time One
thing only appears certain: The posi-
bility of war has been rendered no less
certain in the slightest degree by the
course which has brought US right back
to the point of beginning.

CA r Us o

Caruso is a successful tenor singer
who has become so popular that pco-
pie gladly pay s. per night to hear
him pop. He is one of the few tenor
singers now before the public who
can smoke a cigarette between acts
and still be listened to with reverence
by the Anti-saloon League and the w.
c. I. [. Caruso always smokes a long,
cork-tipped cigarette just before 60
ing on to assault some grand opera
melody, but this does not prevent
church people from flocking to hear
him deyour a few high notes. This
teaches us something, but we don t
know what it IS.
Caruso was born in Italy before he
was ten years Of age, and lived there
long enough to imbibe most of the
language. He began to sing when a
mere infant, and his voice was well
placed from the start. The neighbors
used to say that when annoyed by an
attack Of the Group Caruso could place
his voice anywhere he wanted to
within radius of four miles. When
Caruso grew to be q Young man some
body with q sensitive car discovered
that his voice needed to be cultivated
as it was lumpy in spots and laekel
protein. He was therefore introduced

Making of American Dyes.
mirror and Farmer.l

With the outbreak of the European
war, American textile industries were
put to extremes by the shutting off Of
the supply of dyes, and the ingenuity
of American chemists was appealed to
in order to supply the need which was
once entirely supplied by German-made
dyes. Science records that Americans
have made remarkable progress in pro
ducing aniline dyes since the war closed
the German markets, and just what has
been accomplished along this line is to
be shown in an exhibit to be held in
Mechanics building in Boston, at the
fifth annual National Textile exposition,
April 24-29. No exhibition in recent
years has the interest to textile manu-
facturers and workers as viii center
about this coming display of the results
of inventive genius and enterprise. 1t
is claimed that dyes equally as brilliant

to the old Italian method, which so
many American singers have brought
back home and pummeled the general
public with.
Caruso c chief charm lies in his abil-
ity to climb up to the top of the key
board with both feet and hang onto
the highest rung until the orchestra
is ont of breath. Nery few tenors can
do this without parting with three or
four valuable arteries, but Caruso
knows when to let 90 before rigor
morris sets in. If more tenors would
learn this lesson, the church anth m
would not excite so much ccnsterna-
ton and regret.
After Caruso s voice had been
thoroughly filed down and hand
cufed, he decided to take it to Amori
ca and allow it to escape in one gla ,.
free burst of song. This was one OF
the most successful bursts on record
and as a result Caruso is we'll fixed

vests and initiated shirts and enjoying

State Conventions to Elect Delegates


burlington Free Press.)
IN connection with discussion of the
election Of delegates from Vermont to
the national conventions and the
state s presidential preferences some
papers persistently confound the pres
idential part of the new law with a
direct primary. 1t is nothing of the
kind, and such misstatements simply
help to confuse the minds of the vot-
ers, when, as a matter Of fact, it is all
clear enough. The presidential pre-
ferential scheme was grated on to
the direct primary law which applies
to the September nomination Of state
congressional, senatorial, county and
! town representatives.
| Under the preferential primary for
/ president the voters on MAY 10 will
simply express their preference for
presidential nominations, if they so
desire If the name of the man Of
their choice is not printed it is easy
to write the name of ''Charles +.
| Hughes for example, in the blank
space.
The law also provides for a state
convention, as hitherto, to elect nation
al delegates, who, under real
direct primary, would be voted for di-
rectly by the people. The law also pro
vides that the state chairman of each
party committee is to issue the cali
for this state convention and to
save time and trouble, the state com
imittee has called caucuses on the same
day as the preferential primary to
elect delegates to this state cOnven-
ton. That is all there is to it.
Hitherto, delegates to the state con
vention have usually been made dele
gates also to the direct conventions
, Under the new law there will be but
one convention, the state convention
which will elect all the delegates Il
the national convention, together witt
the alternates. The law on this point
says:
The state committee of each party
shall call a party convention umdel
mittee to be held within three week:
+ subsequent to the presidential primary
At such convention delegates and al
ternates to the national convention OF
l such party to the number apportionet
to this state shall be elected. Each del
egate and alternate so elected shall b.
furnished by the secretary of state Will
