a Fern That Walks.

The walking fern is a native of the
United States. 1t is found in certain
localities of the eastern states and
westward TO Kansas. usually growing
on moss covered rocks, or near the
bases of cliffs. The fronds, when
fully developed. are from six to twelve
or fifteen inches long, their tips reach
ing down into the moss or crevices of
the rocks, where they develop young
plants of two or three tiny fronds. Al
a later stage. n mass of fine rootlcts
forms and holds the little rosettes in
position. After several months tho
long frond to which the little plant is
attached becomes wlthercd, and the
young fern sends out fronds which pro-
duce new plants. 1t is said that in
few years single plant under favor
able conditions will develop into a
whole colony.

Vermonters Resent Out.
side InterferenceS
With Senatorial
Situation!

In an unsigned advertisement, Senator Page de-
votes large amount Of space to something that
Speaker Champ Clark said at National
Press Club banquet.
Mr. Clark is the democratic speaker of a democratic
house of representatives and in 1912 candidate for
the democratic nomination for president.
In another large advertisement, similarly un-
signed, Senator Page gives valuable space to an
article which appeared in the Boston Weekly
Bulletin of Leather and Shoe News some
time ago.
This publication is closely identified with the Leather
and Shoe and its articles published strictly
business basis
In the same manner, dligent friend of Sena-
Tor Page in Montpelier publishes letter from
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. which refers In
courteous but extremely cautious manner to the
service Of Vermonts junior senator in the national
senate.
Why should the opinions of Champ Clark
influence the decision of Vermont voters
as to the best man to represent them in the
United States Senate?
What has the national Shoe and Leather
trust to do with Vermont politics?
Since when has it become necessary for
Vermonters to 60 outside the state and
6nd out what Senator Lodge wants them to
do in relation to electing United States
senator?
The history of all political contests in Vermont has
been that the interference of outsiders with the particular
special affairs of the has been deeply resented.
How do Vermonters like the idea Of having
al>ls o~l c1e {1n
the state, such as
Champ Clark, democratic leader?
The Shoe and Leather Trust?
Henry Cabot Lodge?
The history of Vermont radiates with examples Of
independence. Since the days of Ethan Allen, Vernon
tiers have conducted their own public affairs according
to their own lights
Are we to take our opinions from Mis-
souri,, from the Shoe and Leather trust.
from Massachusetts,. or will we form our
own?
What Vermoners want to know Is what
Senator Page has done to entitle him to re-
election. WILL SENATOR PAGE AN
SWER or will Champ Clark, or Henry Cabot
Lodge or the Shoe and Leather trust answer for
him?
Thousands of people in Vermont desire
to know what Senator Page has stood for
and what he has created in che way of pro-
gres,ive constructive legislatian the eight
years he has been a senator.

PLEA FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
Hygiene Are Urged Upon Count
try's Smaller Communities.

The federal school extension agent
Mr.. McBrien, wrote recently in a spe-
cial statement: in educational oppOr-
tunity the city boy and girl have priv
ileges far superior to those of the farm
boy and farm girl. In funds, in length
Of term, in equipment, in buildings, in
administration and supervision, in
courses of study, in efficiency of the
teaching force, and in salaries paid
the superiority of the city schools is so
far above that of the rural schools as
to make the situation in many sections
of the county deplorable. 1t has been
so desperate in many Instances during
the past 20 years, when cOntrasted with
the splendid opportunities of the city
school, that it is given more times than
any other reason by fathers and moth
ers for moving from the farm to the
CITY,"
Other critics are laying stress on
'ural sanitation and hygiene. Senator
Ransdell, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on health and quarantine, has
been urging a special inquiry into the
methods of preventing disease in rural
America, particularly such diseases as
malaria and typhoid, which are wholly
~preventable. The senator's measure
proposes systematic cooperation be-
tween local and national authorities,
and is based on the idea that the prob
lem of rural sanitation Is not a local
problem, but one which concerns the
! hno1fh md nhunsanI s,Aa,,gAw, - .---
entire nation" The two diseases
named, it is estimated, cost the couD-
try $900,000,O00 a year..
