SUCCESS WITH COSMOS

Sow cosmos early if you wish to get
any satisfaction out of it. Push it
along as fast as you can. 1t does not
transplant readily, therefore grow it in
pots Shift it along until it is grow
ing in nine-inch pots. Then sink the
pot in border and from the time
the plants are six inches high until
the end of July the shoots should be
pinched out. This will keep the plants
low and stocky. Long after severe
frosts your cosmos will be giving you
your beautiful flowers for the window.

Very pretty talk, but it loses it's force
when it is uttered in behalf of Allen NJ
Fletcher in his senatorial quest. Mr..
Fletcher never took the people into his
confidence nor did he ever establish any
close and frank relationship with them.
Was he frank when he said he had an
opinion from the supreme court on the
judiciary matter? Did he have close
understanding with the people at that
time? Ifso, how did it happen that the
peoples representatives in legislature as
sembled restored the courts under the
constitution and gave Mr.. Fletcher a
rebuke unequalled in the history of the
state? However, the people now have
an understanding of Mr.. Fletcher but
the benefit from that understanding will
not inure to Mr.. Fletcher but it will pre-
vent them from making a great mis-
take.-St. Adams Messenger.

The ninth year book of the Vermont
Automobile Club has been sent to the
members by Secretary L. Fl. Greene.
Several improvements are noted in the
book this year, including theconfdential
report of persons to the officers relative
to the way autoists are running their
machines, additional data in state laws,
etc. The numbers are materially in
creased, the highest number being
$4,000 although there are only about 20
between 1900 and $4,000. Six humid
red and eleven machines were registered
in the first o days of June. In order to
get these in the book supplemental pages
were necessary, so they do not appear in
sequence with the others. The dealers
numbers run to O15O. Ninty.six men,
bers of the club do not have machines
and there are 81 members living outside
of Vermont. Six hundred and seventy
five motorcycles are listed in the book.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
A Query or Two
(From Ludlow Tribune.)

In connection with the senatorial
question which is just now engaging the
attention Of some Of the papers in Yer.
mont, and on the supposition that Oar.
roll S. Page desires to succeed himself, il
would seem natural enough to ask why
the Senator has not as yet taken the
people of Vermont into his confidence
on the subject of the succession and
made frank statement of the grounds
on which he desires, and hopes for, a
re. election.
Constructive legislation is live topic
these days, and is being brought to the
front in many of the state papers; and
under these circumstances, as bearing
directly upon the senatorial succession,
it seems natural enough to ask Senator
Page question or two. For instance:
What constructive measure, if any,
has he proposed, stood behind, and been
able to push to successful issue in the
senate during his eight years service in
that honorable body?
Did he really vote against the rural
credit bill, and the bill looking to the
protection of the sources of waterpower
in these United States? And if so, will
he tell his constituency why?
The Senator introduced long time
ago vocational education bill that had
merit, and which Vermonters, in COM
mon with the people of other states,
hoped to see become law. Nothing of
definite nature has been heard from
that measure for some time. What has
happened to it? r
We believe that candidate for any
high position has nothing to lose, and
everything to gain, by taking the public
into his condolences; and that close re-
lation and frank understanding between
the two will inure to the benefit of both.

Looks Like War With Mexico

The Presidents order calling the ma
tional guard into the federal service went
to the Governor of each state Sunday in
form of a telegram signed by Secretary
Baker
President Wilson has called out the
militia of every state for service on the
Mexican border.
In announcing the Presidents decision
Secretary Baker said the militia will be
sent to the border wherever and as full V
as Gen. Funston determines them to be
needed.
Brig Gen. Alfred Mills, chief of the
division of militia affairs, estimated the
minimum militia forces to be called out
to be 145, 900 men.
No offensive attack on Mexico is con-
templated. President Wilson only wants
stronger forces to defend the border
against bandit raids and to be prepared
should Carranza troops carry out their
threats against American troops en-
gagged in chasing bandits south of the
border.
Gov. Gates will call special session of
the Legislature if it is apparent that the
state troops are to be held in Federal
service for any length of time, for the
purpose of providing extra pay for the
enlisted men. The Vermont militia is
ready to go into camp at Fl. Ethan AL

tant General Tillotson.
