grouped in two ways, by variety and
by the wholesalers name. Thus all
the timothy samples are grouped; and
also, all samples sold, let us say, BY
the Smith Seed Co. A farmer who is
buying, for example, timothy can sean
the timothy table and tell what
brands were Of high grade in 1915 and
what were not And a farmer who
thinks Of buying Smith seed can see
in the table showing all the Smith
seed analysis whether or not as rule
the Smith seeds were what they were
said to be.
This bulletin can be had without
charge for the asking. A postal card

HIGH PRICES HIT PRINTERS

Some people think and say that tn,
European war is a great thing" fol
the publishers Of newspapers. 'What
a lot of news it gives you! How the
papers must sell" they say, without
thinking of the tremendous cost OF
getting this news in Europe, cabling
it to America and distributing il
among the papers Of this country.
But this is not the chief among the
problems of newspaper publishers in
connection with the war. The strain
upon them, as upon all printers, comes
in the tremendously increased prices
for practically everything connected
with the making Of newspapers rang
ing from / per cent in some cases to
5000 per cent in others.
Linotype metal, which retailed for
81 hundred pounds before the war,
has jumped to $14 and stereotype
metal from So to SIG. Printing rollers,
composed of glue, glycerine and mo-
lasses, have had an Is per cent uplift
movement and on wool blankets and
felt used on printing presses jobbefs
are quoting prices from 10 to 25 per
cent higher than in 1914.
1t is estimated that about billion
pounds of wool is being used for uni
forms and clothing for the belligerent
soldiers, and as clothing worn in the
trenches has to be burned after about
two months wear, the wool which
would ordinarily be converted into
shoddy, and the cotton which would
go to paper mills, are absolutely de-
stroyed.
On type founders supplies, leads,
brass rules, etc, prices have been
boosted about 20 per cent. News ink
has gradually moved up from 10 to 25
per cent over former prices, and other
items of less Importance in the daily
production of paper have gone up
much higher.
Not many people feel the pressure
Of the increased cost of doing business
to a greater degree than do the print
ers and newspaper publishers.-Con
cord On. H. Monitor.

! than see our women and children mur
dercd with impunity and the honor o
the flag stained,
But it is wicked thing that tn,
folly of our rulers, in obeying the be
hests of the peace-at-any- price people
and Of the apostles of anti-prepared.
ness, should make the seerifce either
useless or else needlessly and appal
lingly wasteful in blood.
In the event Of such a war my -four
sons will go, and one, and perhaps
both, of my sons-in-law; | will go my
self; the young kinsfolk and friends
Of my sons will go; so my words are
spoken with my eyes open.
Ii is of small consequence what hap
pens 10 US Of the older generation; but
when | think of the young men my
heart grows bitter that their fine and
gallant young lives should be sacrific-
ed, not TO the nations need but TO the
nations folly.
| would far rather see them dead
than see them finch from their duty
when the honor of our people is CON
'cerned. But if we now go to war
these young men and all their fellows
will die in thousands of fever and dys-
entery and lung trouble in the camps,
because we have not prepared in ad-
vance, because they and those who
lead and care for them have not been
trained in advance.
They will be butchered needlessly in
battle because we have failed to pre-
pare masses Of ARTILLERY and machine
guns and motor trucks, and shells and
aeroplanes, and have failed to provide
and train the men who shall manage
all the formidable and delicate me-
chanism Of war
Twenty-one months have passed
since the great war began, and during
all this time we have not prepared in
even the smallest degree in order, if !
possible, to avert war from us; or, if !
it could not be averted, to wage it !
and successfully.
The pacifsts and anti-preparedness
people have had their will and our
rulers at Washington have bowed to
them and left us helpless, and with
blind faulty they said they did this
In the interests of peace.
When will our people learn that the
peace of unpreparedness is the peace
IF cowardice and folly, and may at
my time lead to overwhelming dis
lster?

That we may grow stronger in our
desire to assist nature in her beauti-
flying process;
That We may leave Vermont richer
and more beautiful than we found her;

And urge the men ard women and
boys and girls of our commonwealth
to make this day profitable by prac-
tical demonstration in tree planting
and by careful and earnest attention
to the study of Vermont's needs in
forest protection, development and
conservation
The planting of shrubs and trees,
the study of birds and bird life ard the
planning of our gardens should re-
ceive our appreciation; but we should
not forget the greater needs of YER
mont--the building of ideals by a
spirited, energetic and wholesome CO.
operation, that a great state may be-
come greater, that good people may
become better, that disagreeable tasks
may become pleasant duties, and that
health, happiness and work may be-
come our greatest asset.
