Vermont Boys and Girls to Run Third
Exposition.

The boys and girls of this state will
soon engineer their third Vermont
State Agricultural and Industrial Ex-
position. The exposition this year will
be held in the big armory in Burlington
the week of the state teachers conven-
ton and already promises to far excel
last years fine showing. The exhibit
ton will run from Tuesday, October 10
until Friday, the 18th, or four days
and evenings.
Each department., and there are Is
with 81 classes, will be in charge of
an older boy or girl carefully selected
from various sections of the state.
This arr angement makes the exhibit
ton unique and entirely different from
any show or exposition held anywhere
in the country.
The exposition as has been the Gus
tom since it was conducted for the first
time three years ago, will again cut
| out all frllls and get away from COM
mercialisnn as far as possible, for no
! space is rented and for one whole day,
Wednesday, public school children will
be admitted free when accompanied by
their school teacher.
No fancy work, freaks, nicknacks
or useless exhibits will be permitted.
in fact the utilitarian side of school
work only will be given place in the
armory, for the whole enterprise is
conducted for the sole purpose of slim
ulating and encouraging general public
interest in practical vocational educa
ton and Industrial training.
Groups of pupils from public schools
and institutions will give demonstra
tons in trades and vocational instruc
ton the three last days Of the eyposi
ton Work shops and class rooms will
! be fitted up as an exhibit Of some OF
the self-supporting trades now being
| taught and vocational courses thai
have more recently become part Of
the curriculum Of several public
schools.
These youthful mechanics and arti
sans will include carpenters, wood
workers, machinists, dairymen, dress
makers, cooks, etc AgricuituFalisff

He Trusts Animals More than Humans

Billy Snyder. the head keeper at
Central Park Zoo, New York. says in
the October American Magazine that
he would rather trust animals than
humans, and the writer of the article
about him says:
ed trust animals farther than
humans Billy Snyder says-and if
you could see him manicuring the toe
nails of a lion. pulling a tooth for a
hippo or doing any such delicate Job,
you would pretty nearly realize that
he loves animals and that he is ready
to climb out of bed at any hour to at
tend to one of his pets that happens to
have the helly-ache from eating too
many peanuts or dainties that the visi-
tors bring. Don't forget, too. that he
loves children and every kiddie that
lives anywhere near Central Park.
New York City, where he is the heac
keeper Ct the big zoo. knows Billy
Snyder, for he lets them hold the pref
ty little lion or tiger cubs, ride on the
elephant, or 60 something equally ex-
citing every once in a while. Billy
Snyder is king with animals and
children for his subjects, and they all
swear by him loyalty"

Things that Concern Your Town Con-
Germ You


The most common thing one hears
is II haven't got time to attend that
meeting. It doesn't concern me-
But when an epidemic starts, then you
are concerned. The October Woman's
Home Companion prints an editoria al in
which the writer says:
Someone comes to you and re-
marks:
The water supply of this town is
polluted. Will you be one of a COM
mittee of one hundred to arrange
mass meeting and get speakers here
from the state board of health to see
what can be done?'
"And you say, I'm sorry. But I
really haven't the time for anything
outside of my own home.
"Or, as lately heard of q woman
saying with some Impotence:
Don't ask me to do things like
this. have all that one pair of hands
can do right here inside these four
walls.
Every other person approached says
that, too The mass meeting is not
held Nobody points out, publicly,
the danger to which the people Of the
town are exposed.
"And presently the little boy in the
HS8G DlOch ot0S from typnOIO lever.
Then another child, and another, and
! an adult or two. (For the health re-
ports of state after state show how
the typhoid fever epidamics come from
polluted water supplies.)
"Yoa say, This ought to have been

"And now suppose that your own
child falls i'll Of typhoid, and also dies.

you VIII realize that this matter of the
water pollution was, after all, your

wasn't a matter outside your own

Who can tell why Vermont maple sug-
ar brings II cents per pound less money
than that of it's nearest competitor,
New Hampshire? Who can tell why
the Vermont farmer realizes 81. 10 less
per ton for his hay than his nearest
competitor in New Hampshire or the
Maine farmer who gets 81 per ton
more?
The Monitor cannot answer, but does
ask whether the answer lies in monop
olization. So far as this section of
the state is concerned, it is fairly well
known that there is really but one
customer for his sugar and that the
beef cattle, veals and hogs round up at
one place.
At least the facts brought out in the
table showing that in every item Yer
mont gets the small end of the deal,
should be grounds for a thorough study
and Investigate on by our state agricul
tural commissioner and his department
A little more per ton for hay, bit
better price for cattle, hogs and yea
and another cent or two pound fol
sugar would bring added hundreds Of
thous ands of dollars to the Vernon
farmer.
A price comparison not made in thi:
table but which the Monitor would like
to see, is that of milk and butter
Are Vermont farmers getting thu
small prices here too?
Are Vermont farm products monopo
liZed?

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Value of Vermont Asbestos.

1t is mighty good news for this en-
tire section "that the asbestos mines
in Lowell are to be reopened at an
early date The war stopped the
shipment of the product of these valu-
able mines to Germany, but it has also
created big domestic demand for as
bestos that Canada cannot begin to
supply. Before many moons there will
be railroad to those mines and then
people in this county will begin to
realize, just as the people did when the
railroad reached Barre and granite hill
in Barre, the real worth of those
mountains of asbestos. -. Morrisville

A HEARTLESS
ADMINISTRATION

This administration has dis
played no more feeling of re-
sponsibiiity for the American
women who have been raped
and for the American men, wo-
men. and children who have

farmer shows for the rats killed
by his dogs when the hay is
taken from a barn. And row the
American people are asked to
sanction this policy in the name
of peace, Righteousness and hui
manity!-From the Speech Of

IS VERMONT MoNoPoLIzED?

Two weeks ago there appeared in
the columns of the Orleans County
Agricultural Association page in the
Monitor an item which has resulted in
asking the question, els Vermont Mo-
nopolized?" The item referred to fol-
lows:
The government has compiled some
figures az ne sale price during 1915 of
our common farm products and the
following table is given as published in
the Franklin County Farm Bureau pub
LEGATION. 1t will be noted that Yer
mont receives the least of any Of the
New England states for its products
without exception Is it possible that
Vermont's products are so inferior to
those of the other New England states,
or can all the difference be laid to
transportation charges when some Of
the other New England states are just
as far distant from the market as Yer
mont? Should not the farmers of Or
leans county make some attempt to
improve upon these conditions? lt,can
very easily he done if theg are willing
to work together and make their wants

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The fact that the Democratic cam
paign managers have booked Secre-
tary Daniels for a speech in Maine
seems to indicate that they have aban-
dOned all hope Of carrying the state
and simply don't care what happens
to the ticket in the September election.
Senator J. Ham Lewis, G spokesman
for the administration, in attempting
to apologize for the presidents molly
cOddle expression that we are "too
proud to fight" explains that it is an
old Latin quotation. But the people
already know that it is out of date and
the expression Of a decadent nation.
eve don't want to maintain a politi-
cal almshouse," remarked Mr.. Hughes
to the North Dakota farmers, and a
nation applauds him. Americans are
beginning to see a possibility in the
near future of regaining their self re-
spect.
This administration seems to have
sold everything it could, from the ma
tons honor down to the smallest rural
postmastership.

cARRANzA PLANS A NEW CAPITAL
Cracoma Ledger.)


 Americans who have property in Mexico City have suffered great losses since the revolution began. and now they have the prospec of losing st more for Car anza and his followers are reported to have decided to remove the capital to Dolores Hdago It might be that after the revolution Mexico City would undergo great Industrial development which would offset the ef- feet of removal of government headquarters but such on outcome Is not expected.
 Numerous buildings erected in Mexico City by Americans and other foreigners are used by persons who have business relations with the Mexican govern ment. If the government moves to Dolores Hidalgo, that foreign element will have to follow It.
 Tn addition governments that have erected embassy buildings will probably lose great part of their invest ments for H win be necessary to erect new ones at the new capital
 Dolores Hidalgo is a small and unimportant place at the present time and n is understood to be carran zas plan to rage most of the buildings and construct model capital after the style of Washington City An investigation of the plans of national capitals Is now under way It is even rumorcd that caranza hopes to be inaugurated in the capital
 Dolores Hudago has the merit of being centrally To- cated and near the main railroad lines of the republic should the national capital be changed. Mexico City will be the capital of 3 new state to be made out of ,he federal district of Mexico and parts of adjacent states
 But 1t wouldn't be wise to remake our maps and rewrte our geogaphes yet awhile Mexico is stlll far from peace and order and may have half dozen tenn porary capitals before stability Is restored and cond lions win permit of the building of model capital such as carranza and the constituonast leaders are now planning.

PATRIoTsM THAr $ TAINTED

In 1862 a committee of citizens called at the White House to express It's dissatisfaction with President Lncoins conduct of the After listening patiently to the complaints O, the delegation. President Lincoln said.

Keep silent and we will get you safely over"
 President Wilson could well answer his critics in the words of President Lincoln Most of the criticism of Che Wilson administration resembles the criticism of the Lincoln administration. in that it s small and partisan and aimiess I resembles the criticism of the Lincoln administration too In that the most of it comes from second and thrdrate and newspapers. "Prae tcaliy nobody who rails against the President has policy of bis own to present. says the New York World Even the most rabid of the critics afraid to come out and frankly declare for Back of most of the assaults is petty and childish desire to find fault for the sake O, finding fault
 Whether tho President has made mistakes in hand ling the foreign affairs of the United States do not know nor can anybody know at this time He has sue ceeded thus tr in keeping us out of the war without surrenderns ay of our rights under international law Whether his policy works out well or m can be de termined oniy by ts ultimate results in the light of history But one thing Is certain; there is no record of serious blunder on the part of any President of the United States who combined patience with high principle. It is significant that Americans who are best qualified creise the foreign policy of the Prest dent have done nothing to embarrass him.
 That sort oi patriotism that Is insufficient to stand together and uphold the hands of the government at such time as this. Is talned from the start Heaven help the country that had plunge into war with that kind of citizenship behind 1t.
