Our Modern School System.
(Rutland News.)

1t is pointed out that the largest
salary paid to any state official in Yer
mont T. $4,000 year very properly
goes to its commissioner of education
Milo B. Hillegas. His work is of the
highest Importance for upon it rests to
large degree the quality of the cti-
zenship of tomorrow.
The department of education, under
the quickening influence of Mr. Hille-
gas, is going to bring about a New
Vermont in this most important of all
state departments. That is evident to
all who have listened to the addresses
of the commissioner or who have read
synopses of his talks in various parts
of the state. Commissioner Hilleges
commends himself to progressive peo-
pie by reason of his modernity of ideas,
and he has already given ample evil
dence that he is the man who will
bring about conditions that will work
to the vast Improvement of the schools
of the state.
Commissioner Hillegas says that the
great problem in Vermont is not one
of money, that the present machinery
is the best machinery for accomplishing
the work desired of any of which he
has knowledge. That is probably true
1t may be, however, that the system
will bear down little too heavily up.
on the centers of population, for Their
enjoyment or their continued liberation
without protest. 1t has already been
shown that the city of Rutland, for in
stance, has paid into the state schoo
fund for 1916 the amount of Loco
and under the new system has drawn
back $4,000. This is, of course, the stu
alton everywhere. This is making "thC
strong support the weak with {
vengeance, as it were. Nevertheless
general results are what the people OF
Vermont will hope for and be satisfied
with, if they come up to their expecta
tions.
1t is certainly of great encourage
ment to have Mr.. Hillegas say that the
best examples of cooperation between
school and shop, between school an(
agricultural work, between school ant
the manual employments, are all fount
in Vermont. These things all mean adj
vancement that the state needs.
There seems to be no question bu
what Commissioner Hillegas is earning
his salary.

Sixteen Successful Deer Hunters.

The total number of deer killed by
Hnsdale hunters was 1G, which, under
the weather conditions, was a very
good showing. The deer were plentiful,
but in most cases unusually wild, due, it
is thought, by many to having been
chased during the past fall by dogs. a
complete list of successful deer hunters
is as follows: George Wheeler, Rex. Hig-
gins, Glen Higgins, Pat Robbins, Ed
ward Marshall, Frank Pcrham, Arthur
Donzey, Ira Chamberlain, Thomas Man
mis-, C. Il. Weed, Peter Zorosky, John
Redding, John Higgins, Edward May

COUNTY BUREAUS STRONG.

The IL county agricultural bureaus in
this state will report membership of

the year. The Addison county bureau
leads in point of membership, having
1850 enrolled, the Franklin county bu-
reau being second with a membership
of sol.
The showing of the Washington

remarkable as this bureau is only one

Scarcity of Stove Wood.

Stove wood is a scarcer article here
abouts than it has been at any time in
the past several years. Dry hard wood
is practically out of the market, due
to the fact that very little was cut last
winter, owing to the scarcity and high
price of labor. A few years ago there
were many choppers in this locality,
but at the present time there are very
few available and these obtain $175
and $500 per cord for chopping.

paign for more members in all of the

Addison, $50; Bennington, 2l7; Cal

256; Franklin, sol; Orleans, 376; Rut.

State Convention Most Impor-
tant One Ever Held.

San Antonio. Texas, May 23.-What
has been considered one of the most
important state Democratic conven-
tions ever held in Texas was scheduled
to open at noon today.
Primary business before the con-
vention is the election of a national
committeeman to succeed Indian Com
missioner Cato Sells; the selection of
80 district delegates and eight dele
gates-at-large from the state to the
ST Louis convention and the prob
able Endorsement of President Wilson
and his policies.
Interest in the convention has been
accentuated by the entry of so-called
Prohibitionist forces, who will, accord
ing to a proposed resolution, insist that
Texas delegates to the national con-
Vention shall be those who have never
been aligned with the liquor party. -

Mayor of Hutchinson Wants to Sleep

Hutchinson, Kan, May 23--The
city of Hutchinson has not fallen into
line with the latest fad sweeping the
country-turning the clock up an
hour. Several business men have de-
clared the movement useless, so far as
Hutchinson is concerned, not, how
ever, saying it will not serve good
purpose farther east.
Clarence Pearl is the only one to ex-
press approval of the idea
Mayor A. G. Gleadal1 leads the ants
Here is his idea:

this. The period just preceding sun
rise is the coolest of the night and [

clock up, we will have to get up in the
cool of the day, and we will not be
able to go to bed any sooner than we
always do, because of the heat

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get about two ounces of
plain powdered neroxin from. any drug
store-sprinkle a little a hot, wet sponge
rub over the biackheads briskly-wash
the parts and you will be surprised how
the blackheads have disappeared. Big
bIackheads, little blackheads, matter
where they are, simply dissolve and dis
appear, leaving the parts without any
mark whatever. Blackheads simply

Opponents Own Territory.
Speaking in Towns Through
Northwestern Kansas.

Oberlin, Kan, May 23--Max Ander-
son of Beloit, candidate for the Re
publican congressional nomination in
the Sixth district, spoke Monday in
the home town of his opponent, Otis
L. Benton. In spite of the fact that
he was in Benton's home town, a
crowd that filled the Decatur county
court house heard the speech. Many
farmers drove to town through
heavy rain to hear the speech.
Anderson's talk was strong and
forcefu1 and was a plea for party
unity and "a return to Republican rule
in the nation. Persons in touch with
conditions in the county declared af-
ter the meeting that Anderson had
won many votes in the county He
came to Oberlin in connection with a
campaign trip which he is making

Norton, Kan, May 22.-Max Ander-
son of Beloit spoke to large crowd
in the Norton county court house. He
was enthusiastically received by Nor

sons speech was effective and con-
vincing and filled with sound party
gospel.
