Freight Rates on Milk.
Burlington Free Press.

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion has Just made decision against
the New England railroads that sought
to increase the freight rates on milk,
which would have given carriers $500
GOO additional revenue annually. The
dairymen held that any increase i'll
freight rates would come out of the
farmer, which they could not stand,
whereas the present high price of milk
in Boston and other cities is due large
ly to the middleman.
Another feature Of the decision is
that regulations of New England roads
giving a preferential rate to those
shipping in carload lots and leasing
cars over those shipping by the can
is unlawful. This regulation naturally
worked to the advantage of those
shipping milk from Vermont and New
Hampshire over Massachusetts dairy
men adjacent to Boston.
Railway carriers are directed to
establish scale of rates on a per can
basis and to prescribe lower rates fol
transportation of these commodities IN
freight ears on freight trains.
We believe it will be a great benefit
to the farmers of Vermont in the end
as well as now if they can dispose OF
their cream or butter fat, and retain
their separated milk on their farms fol
the production of pork and veal anC
for the purpose of increasing the fer
| tility of our soil.

Gaining Ground.
(Enosburg Standard. J


There are encouraging signs that the
Idea, for which the Standard has long
contended, that different policy is
needed in the construction and upkeep
of Vermont highways, is gaining
ground.
From all over the state come reports
of the unsatisfactory results under a
system of loose local control and un-
scientific methods and this is bringing
about . demand for change that will
recognize the principle of complete
state control and the fundamental fact
that road building, under the conditions
of modern traffic, is an engineering
problem of the first magnitude.
Under the recent federal aid act
which provides for the distribution of
government funds among the states for
road building, the first apportionment
of funds has been made. Vermont s
share of this fund is small but it af-
fords an opportunity to consider the
| question of new policy in the ex-
| .penditure of Nermont's highway
money.

town representative, state senator

Col. Haskins worthily upheld the

Col. Haskins 5 interests touched va

Close the upper ends of such brooks
and nature will take care of the propa-
cations of fish better than any state
fish hatchery can.
Close these brooks as above stated,
under heavy penalties, and nature will
see that the lower levels are kept

The only cost is posting and clos

protected.
We are glad to see that the ma

lines, as well as the state.

Caller was very ordinary little Spar

But the Sparrow did not answer. He
flew right through the Animal House
until he reached Mr.. Hippopotamus'

his bath, and he would not be inter-

"The Sparrow was rather annoyed
that Mr.. Hippopotamus didn't want to
come right out of the water to talk to
him and he scolded from his perch on
the wire of the cage. There he sat
scolding away and the Hippopotamus
kept on splashing and spluttering as
he took his bath.
"All the People standing around saw
the Sparrow perch on the cage and
they thought the Sparrow was very
brave. But they did think it was most
strange that the Sparrow wanted to
call on the Hippopotamus, and that
the Hippopotanms had such little
Caller so different from himself.

T III E. PINCH BIZ q

The pinch bug is painful epidemic
which makes its first appearance with
the first sweet days of early spring and
vanishes about the time the hay fever
releases its hold with one fcryent, ex-
piring sneeze.
Investigators from the earliest dawn
of civilization have endeavored to as
certain why the pinch bug is allowed
to flourish upon this planet and fall
upon the arched neck of the dcbutante
at a lawn social. Darwin, in his cele-
brated lecture upon the intimate rela-
tionship of man to the ring tailed chin
panzee, declared that the pinch bug
was lineal descendant of the Egyp-
tian locust, but 70 self-respecting man
will believe anything that Darwin says.
Anyway, there is no popular demand
for the pinch bug, and if Congress
were not so busy trying to get re-elecj-
ed he would be eradicated
The pinch bug is near sighted III both
eyes and also carries u rudder which
refuses to work about half the time

he is harder to head off than Il motion

"'Well,' said Mr.. Sparrow, 4 must
be off now as its time the bread
crumbs and the Family were coming
home. He spoke about the bread
crumbs first, you notice. But I'll come
and see you soon again, old Hippo,
and the little Sparrow flew off.
'Then the Hippopotamus looked
very lonely and sad and the People
who had been watching the very big
Animal and the very small Bird talk
ing together could not understand it.
But they were indeed the best of
Friends. And soon Mr.. Hippopotamus
decided the only thing left for him to
do for some time was to nap and eat
and swim so he'd look his best next
time the Sparrow came to call"

Every fisherman knows that above
certain places on all brooks only small

The trout run up the streams at
high food time in the early spring and
deposit their eggs and then return to

water.
