Lamentatlon Among the Few.

There are indications that matters
political will never be quite the
same again in Vermont with the re-
suit that there is lamentation among
those who have considered them
selves the guardians of Mr.. Com
mon Voter. These self appointed
guardians greatly fear that their ser
vices as general fixers will not be in
demand Indeed fixing the caucus and
fixing the convention is not going to
be the easy Job it used to be- The
direct primary law is the cause of
these tears
Already some of those who have
usually had finger in the fixing,
are prophesying that the voters will
be so Disguised with the law that
the next legislature will repeal it
notwithstanding the fact that some
Kind of a primary law is in effect in
over half of the states, and no state
has ever adopted primary law and
then repealed it.
The principal "holler' is over the
enormous expense to the state and
to the candidates and the great fear
that men Of inferior ability may get
into office. As for the expense to
the state, the voters can we'll af.
ford to pay it in exchange for the
privilege Of having a hand in run
ming their own caucuses and con
ventions and an effective voice in
nominating thatr Ia
GERS. AS for the expense to the can
didates, there is an item that will
vary widely, If an unknown or an
| unpopular man contends with a well
known or popular candidate, his ex-
perience will probably cost him
something. 1t ought to- That the
primary will give us inferior men
in public office. We little fear. 1t

selves and a long session at the pub
lie crib is not always the best training
for holding office, Promotion from
the ranks often brings to the higher
Office a viewpoint that is of great
value to the state. The idea that the
same men or same class OF men must
always hold the offices is too absurd to
be seriously considered. For those
who entertain this idea the primary
will afford rude awakening.
| Vermont has voted to give the
primary idea fair trial and ii will
not go back on its vote at the re

Chest Measurements.

Put q tape measure round your chest
and note the measurement. Puff your
chest out By taking deep breath and
note the number of inches that you in
crease One inch of expansion would
be very feeble: two is rather poor. We
all ought to put on three inches. and
four is good. 1t is right and proper
that the lungs should be we'll expand
ed at each breath. The air penetrates
more easily into some parts Of the
lungs. The apex, at the base of the
neck, just behind the collar bone, is
rather sluggish part of the incoming
air current, That Is considered to be
one of the reasons why the apex is the
commonest site for consumption. All
children should be taught breathing
exercises The ribs are soft in child
hood and youth and can be nodded
into shape. When once growth has
stopped the ribs are in their position
and shaped for life. Therefore take
pains to cultivate a good chest that
expands several inches.

"The Otero county display at the

tition." says the Pueblo Star Jour.
nal Special awards OF merit are
made to the Otero county exhibitors
but they are not permitted to com
pete with other counties In the state.
The reason for barring Otcro county
is that the farmers of that county
hayeattaincd such proficiency in
growing crops and fruit and in ar
ranging displays for fairs that they
are In class by themselves and II
they were permitted TO compete
with other counties at the State fair

Seven Varieties of Honey Dews.

Frank Wilson. farmer living il
the vineland district, had a pecu.
liar experience with seed he planted
this year from the new Honey Dew
cantaloupe. The new variety OF cau.
taloupe was propogated from O
winter casaba and n Rocky Ford
cantaloupe with several other cross
es mixed in. This is the first year
the melons have been raised for
commercial purposes and not every
time will the seed produce the Hon,
ey Dew but will often go back TO
either a cantaloupe or "A casaba.
Wilson planted few OF the seeds
OF the Honey Dew In his farm gar
den. As a result he harvested a do
zen varieties OF melons ranging
from n cantaloupe to a casaba aud
some others that he never saw bD-
fore. or course the Honey Dew mo
Ion predominated in the patch but
because OF the interesting expert
ment. Wilson brought In seven var
ieties to be exhibited AT the state
fair to show visitors what was pro
duced from the seed OF one Honey
Dew melon.
