AS A BUSINESS

The principles which underlie pro
htable farming are not unlike those
which underlie the profitable conduc
of any other business, The difference
is merely in the application. The one
fundamental principle underlying all
successful business undertakings is
that the cost must be less than the
selling price. In the operation of this
principle agriculture is no exception
Farming, however is such complex
business, and the different enterprises
making up the farm unit are SO in
tricately related, that it is often we'll
nigh impossible to determine the true
cost or the true selling price of a
farm product. However, the relation
of any factor in farming to the pro-
fits of thefarm as a whole, by the
study of large group of farms, can
be fairly accurately determined. This
relation of the individual enterprise
to the profits of the whole is perhaps
the best guide to successful farming
and to an understanding of the prin-
ciples upon which good farm organ
ization is based,-"Some outstanding
factors in profitable farming" by J. S.
Gates. Yearbook, 1915.

WHAT IS TREASON

In these exciting and eventful day
there is a great deal of loose think
ing, as evidenced by the large amour
of loose talking, on the subject O.
treason. People of high degree j,
we'll as sidewalk disputants in from
of bulletin boards, are alike careles;
or ignorant in their definition of the
crime. One of the former recently
declared in a public speech that fol
citizen forcibly to resist the authori-
ty of the United States was treason
A prominent newspaper, supposed te
be edited with intelligence comment
ed upon pro-German mass meet
ing to the effect that ''for man to
revile and cry out against U. ). au.
thority was a reasonable utterance.
The Constitution of the United
States, which is still the supreme law
of the land, affords no basis for such
interpretations. Its words upon the
subject are few and plain: Treason
against the United States shall con
sist only in levying war against them
or in adhering to their enemies, Civ
ing them aid and comfort" Treason
consists of and can consist Of nothing
less than the acts above specified.
wherefore it appears that many of
lenses carelessly referred to as evid-
ences of reasonable conduct come
not within the category at all. y
everybody who dehes or forcibly re-
sists U. S. authority is committing
treason. the culprits will be found
not only among those with whom the
police and marshals have have &c
| grapple every day, but also among

ment of U. S. authority were treason

critic of official corruption, would

Ex-Gov. Edward C. Smith opened his
mouth and stuck his foot in it when in
addressing the Greater Vermont assoca-
tion he injected politics into his remarks
What he said, in the language of one of
Bcasco's characters, was irrelevant. i'm
material and not germane to the subject. -
II the Greater Vermont association is to
be used as political agency it will soon
lose its usefulness, and it has started on
a course which ought to make it the most
potential force for upbulding the state
that has ever existed. People also will re-
volt at the idea of railroad influence in
public affairs. There was too much of
that sort OF thing years ago, but fortu-
nateIy there has been little apparent at
tempt in recent years by the railroads tC
use their influence in public matters. The
people of the state have shown a DISPOSE
ton to be fair toward the railroads and
To cooperate with them. Another break
like that which Smith made will arouse
Iantagonisms which will be harmful to the
railroads. We are willing to forget what
Smith said, and we hope the newspapers
and the public generally will take the
same attitude But for heavens sake Ed

Master Pink Fig, as he walked along
to the Giants cave to pay him a
call.
''Tm Wei, l thank You" said Mr..
Giant, who was always very polite.
"And how are you, may l ask?"
I'm feeling healthy" said Master
Pink Pig. Yes, I'm feeling what you
might call handsome"
'You know, Piggie dear" said Mr..
Giant, that healthy and handsome
don't mean quite the same thing"
"Oh, we'll" said Master Pink Pig,

And Master Pink Pig whispered that
to Mr.. Giant as if it were a great
secret.
Il consider 1t very narrOw-minded
to be so fussy about words anyway.
None of my family are. Why just
think, we're called Pigs and often they
call very greedy people Pigs too. I'm
sure that's no compliment to us, but
do we mind it?-not at all. We're far
too brOad-minded."
The Giant was enjoying this con-
versation hugely, and so, to make the
Pig say something more, he asked him

DOILIES.

Whoever would think about doilies
except women? This is not an accusa-
ton, nor is it our desire to bawl any
body out about doilics. As for doilies,
we are absolutely unbiased about 'em
up to this point. We may get in
famed before we have gone far, but
up to this time we are cool. However,
doilies are pretty feminine we must
say that.
Will there still be doilies when suf-
frage becomes universal Somehow it
is hard to think of suffrage and doilies
i'll the same breath. viii suffrage de-
stroE the dolly! Every home that is
home has eighty or ninety doilies here
and there, doilies under the molasses
pitcher, doilies under the ice water,
doilies everywhere, and lot of dol
lies absolutely unjustifed from any
practical standpoint In fact, If is
these latter doilies that we love best
of all. The more useless a dolly, the
more we love it.

whole point to any real objection that
anybody may have to suffrage We

surprise. for Master Pink Pigs story

thought it would.
'Oh, I saw a dreadful sight" and
Master Pink Pigs pink eyes began
to water some more.
"Well, tell me-" said the Giant. "I

Good-nature is one of the principal

may have been, doubtless was, absent in
the great majority of all these cases, but
the obligation rests none the less upon the
community to protect itself from all these
forms of violence. In the case of the auto
fatalities, the increasing number of motor
vehicles operated in narrow streets and
under conditions for which the streets
were never intended and the carclessness
of pedestrians must all be taken INTO ac
count in fixing the responsibility. But il

A Shifting State Boundary.
Boston Transcript.O

tBoSton Transcript
The supreme court of the United
States has on hand difficult question
in the settlement of the boundary line
between New Hampshire and Vermont
Arriving somewhat late on the scene.
the new state of Vermont had to ac-
cept, in 1871. the boundary which the
King Of England had accommodatinglv
set for New Hampshire. namely. the
western bank of the Connecticut river
The fixing of the bank of any stream
as a border, instead of the middle of
the main current, wherever that NAV
flow, Is always productive of trouble
and dispute, for the banks of streams
often change, and the question must
arise whether the boundary changes
with them. All islands in the Connec-
ticut opposite her territory, belong to
New Hampshire. But islands have be-
come Joined to the Vermont mainland.
Do they by this process become a
part of Nermont2 The current has
shifted so as to convert into an island
what has been a part of the Vermont
mainland. Does that shift the territory
into New Hampshire? Land has been
made on the Vermont side, and costly
mills have been built there, on which
both states have attempted to collect
taxes. TO which do the taxes belong?
\ great industrial dam has flooded Yer
mont meadows in and above Vernon
and Brattleboro. Does that flooded land
now belong to New Hampshire, and
will it 90 back to Vermont again as
soon as the water is drawn off?
Questions like these. all of which
are founded upon actual conditions or
occurrences, suggest the impossibiltF
of maintaining that kind Of a bounda-
ry between American states. No
doubt the supreme court, being gov
ened by scrupulous respect for the
letter of the law, will be inclined to
defend the authority of the dead hand
of England s king, but it will certain
lv devolve upon the court TO provide,
if possible, some other sort of boun-
dairy between the states than NOV

if the court should give territorial
