margin and no mistake; yet there prob
ably will be no effort to defeat Hulburd
for the election other than the effort
which will be made in behalf of the
Democratic nominee, Henry C. Brislin OF
Rutland. That latter effort in Vermont
in the year 1916 will be fairly negligible.
So it may be taken for granted that HUI
burd will be the next lieutenant govern
or of Vermont Hulburd's success at the
primary may be attributed largely to his
personal magnetism as compared with
that of his opponent, Speaker John E.
Weeks. Both Hulburd and Weeks are
good men and worthy OF distinction; but
Hulburds is the more warming personal
itv. Added to that characteristic is a
capacity for oratory which makes him
quite favorite on the platform and thus
draws to him much of the good opinion
of his fellow Vermonters. It is possible,
therefore, to explain how man who
came into the contest late and who, ap-
parently, made little effort to win votes,
was nevertheless able to command more
votes than man who had been
"groomed" for the office perhaps ever
since the sitting of the legislature near
ly two years ago. Six months ago no one
would have given much for Hulburd's
chances against Weeks, but toward the
end he came along rapidly and managed
to secure the preponderance of Republi-
can votes.
That Hulburd will fill the Office if his
election is consummated goes without
saving; he will not rattle around because
placed in position several sizes too big.
He will be lieutenant governor worthy
of the best traditions OF the office in Yer
mont.

One Possible Milk Plan.

The contest between farmers and con
tractors is becoming acute Apparently
the public will pay one cent a quart more
for its milk; this cent the contractor
proposes to divide as follows Three
eighths TO the farmers, one.eighth to the
railroad and one half TO himself. As
to this last half cent there is some
public obscurity. 1t appears from the
statement of one of the large contractors
that most OF this apparent profit will be
swallowed up in increased costs OF hand
ling and distribution in the city. The
higher cost of living is to be paralleled
by the higher cost of doing business.
The public may not be paying an ex-
cessive price for the quality OF the serv,
ice ii receives. But everybody complains.
The farmer blames the contractor, and
the contractor sheds the blame into the
dry well of general conditions. We have
had much talk from farmers about start
ing their own delivery systems in the
city. Why would not this be good
solution of the perennial problem? The
farmers would not bring down the price
of milk. but they would at least test
the truth of the contractors assurances
that he is already operating on rock
bottom of efficiency and legitimate profit.
We should like to see farmers cooper
alive milk company, at least as an exper'
iment in the elimination of possibly
factor.-Boston Herald.

A Canadian Problem.

Canada is confronted with a serious
crisis in the deficiency of the wheat yield
in the great Northwest, and the conse-
quent heavy emigration to the United
States of settlers. very many of them
Americans, who went to Canada on a sort
Of speculation. A despatch from Ottawa
estima ties that the dominion has already
lost one-eighth OF its productive popuia'
ton through this re-emigration and the
drawing off of 100000 workers by the
war in Europe. The worst OF the situa.
ton Is that the permanent Availability
of a part of the Canadian Northwest is
called in question by the frequent tend
ency of the wheat crop to fail through
the shortness OF the season and the tend
ency to summer frosts. 1t looks as
though the zone of settlement had been
carried too far north for complete and
permanent success. And yet the domin-
ion, by the vast railway enterprises
which it has financed at the public cost,
has staked its credit on the happiest eco
nomic future for the whole future. That
there will always be large productive dis
tricts in this portion of Canada, capable
of supporting a large population, can
hardly be doubted, but it may well be
that the rush toward the Arctic has been
overdone After all, there is no country
like the great Northwest of the United
States, where corn and fruit and sheep
and cattle and everything else may be
raised and where sun and clouds and
fertile soil all conspire to render human
existence secure and happy.-Boston

Autumn DAYS.

A mellow haze is on the hills. The air
is sweet and cool and invigorating
Blackbirds piping up from the fields at
dawn begin their journey southwark
Wagons creak along the roads laden with
their orchard treasures. Farmhouse and
barn are at peace under the bright sun
shine that gilds but no longer warns. II
is that sentinel period dreaming between
the outposts of retreating life which Is
summer and advancing sleep which Is
winter. Autumn days.
On the air is a wonderful fragrance
compounded of all the Joys OF this irui-
ton period OF the year. In it are
thousand scents sweeter than any per
fumes OF Araby, purer than any incense
except the smoke Of wood fires spiralling
above the hills, a spicy. aromatic scent.
1t comes from little red outbuilding
whence sounds crunching and steady
pounding. 1t comes from the cider press.

Tall Corn.

There seems to be some doubt as to
which state can grow the tallest corn
that is, outside of Massachusetts,. There
is no doubt hereabouts, and never was.
Maine has claimed prodigous cornstalks.
And now appropriately Bloomington,
Ind, produces a stalk l6 feet and two
inches tall. Not to be outdone, North
Salem, in the same state, counters with
a l7-foot stalk.
To make the wonder grow, we are
further assured that the corn was plant
ed and cultivated quite in the ordinary
way. How far up it would have Jack
and the Bean Stalked if the ground had
been fortified we are left to imagine.
Far be it from us to boost, but any
body knows that Massachusetts farmers
do not begin to talk tall corn until their
stalks are up beyond IL feet. Anything
above that is tall anything below it is
runt.
As between Maine, which boasts of tall
corn. and Indiana, science explains the
great height OF their respective stalks on
the ground that in Indiana the prospect
of being converted into corn whiskey
stimulates the stalk to supernatural ef-
forts. while in Maine the Prohibition
law puts similar premium on such fer
tility.
Far be it from us, also, to exagcerate;
but has Indiana never heard the famous
tale Ton which the infant Bay state
mind is nurtured of the early Masss-
chusetts settler who when his wife and
children were hungry. found to his dis
NAV ne had only handful of corn ker-
nelsg In disgust and despair, proceeds
the story. be flung the kernels on the
ground. What was his surprise, a few
minutes later to find that they had
sprouted. BY noon the stalks were full
grown. BY night the whole family was
feasting on ripe ears of corn
The only improbable part Of this le-
gend il that the settler should have been
surprised at such rapid growth. That
and the extreme height Of our corn
stalks, is attributed entirely to the well
known fertility Of Massachusetts, soil

1t may be taken for granted that the
entente allies have been making the most
OF the respite caused by wet weather to
prepare for another formidable attack on
the German positions. The British boast
that the Germans will not be allowed to
go into winter quarters must be made
good even before the time comes for GO
ing into winter quarters. 1t will have to
be continuous offensive in order to full

More than one motorist will follow
with interest the progress of the case
brought in Brattleboro, in which the
driver of slow moving automobile is
charged with refusing to allow touring
machine to pass after repeated requests
by sounding of the horn. The charge of
obstructing the free passage of vehicles
on the highway is not brought very oft
en-, but good many people are ready to
state that it ought to be brought much
oftener than it is.

There were twice as many scattering
votes for the office as there were votes
for the Republican nominee for high bail
if of Washington county in the recent
primary, and the nominee got only 81.
Neither the small number of votes re-
ceived by the nominee nor the fact that
he received less than half as many as the
scattering vote should be taken to mean
that Arch Batchclder of Plainfeld is I'M
popular or considered incompetent but
rather that the people of the county con-
slider the office a useless appendage of
county administration. The legislature
ought to transfer the duties of high bail
if to some other official, or officials, be-
cause the duties are extremely light,
there being few high sheriffs executed
nowadays.

Practical Aid in Forest Conservation in
Vermont.

To the Editor of the Barre Times;
In these days when Vermont is rock.
ing from end To end with speechmakings
homecomings and iubilations, when we
are rejecting upon the Vermont that was
and talking Of the Vermont that is to be,
when we are enjoying the matchless nat
ural beauties of the Green mountains, it
might be well to consider what is being
done to preserve these forests and
streams, these valleys and hills, for fu.
ture use and enjoyment
The Forestry Association of Vermont
is the conservation organization of the
state, founded in 1904 for the purpose OF
arousng the people of Vermont to the
vital Importance of saving the forests
which we now have and making provision
through reforestation for future sup
ply.
The lumber industry is essential to the
life OF many Vermont towns. Remove
this source OF livelihood and the results
are disastrous, conserve the source and a
greater Vermont will result
The summer toafist business can be
made TO bring hundreds of thousands OF
dollars into this state as il does into
neghboring states. Vermont is becom-
ing well known for its beauty; destroy
the forests and the green mountains will
become brown the trout streams will be-
come stagnant, the verdant upland mead
ows will wither and scar in the blister
ing SUM- and Vermont once a huge gar
den will become naught but a deserted
waste. This has been the result in some
of the other states
If YOU are sufficiently interested to
really take part in helping to insure the
lasting beauty and usefulness OF our
green mountain forests. send me a dollar
for annual dues. You will then receive
all the publications issued by the asso-
citation relating to conservation as well
as all information issued by the state
forestry department if you SO desire,
You in turn will be actually doing some
thing towards helping in the work Of the
Vermont Forestry association so neces-
sary to the welfare of our state
Yours very truly,
Roderic NJ Olzendam.

tion of Vermont.

LIQUOR ADVERTISING BARRED.

Twelve of the nineteen dry states have laws
prohibiting all liquor advertising within their
borders The Abercrombie bill now before
Congress would prohibit tr transportation
through the mails of publications containing
liquor advertisements into these states. The
United States government has prohibited the
placing of liquor advertising calendars in fed
eral buildings. Nearly 900 daily newspapers
of the country have publicly announced non
liquor advertising policy and the list is length
ening rapidly.
In addition to the Sheppard GaIlinger Webb
Smith bill - the four-fathered, Republican,
Democratic, joint resolution for prohibition
amendment to the federal constitution-there
are eighteen bills pending in the senate and
thirty-one in the house bearing directly upon
the liquor question.
