Guy Bailey For Delegate

The Republicans of Vermont would do
well to consider the Hon. Guy w. Bailey
as one of the delegates at large to send to
Chicago this year. He is a loyal Repub-
lican and at the same time represents
the truly progressive spirit which is the
best hope of the party. An enthusiastic
supporter of Charles E. Hughes for the
presidency, forceful man who ac-
complishes things worth while. he is just
the kind of man to send to Chicago on
this important GRAND. News.
The Messenger rather believes that the
Republicans of Vermont have considered
Secretary of State Bailey as delegate
at-large to the national convention and
have made up their minds that he ought
to go to Chicago. There is no reason
why Bailey shouldn't 60, and there are a
good many reasons why he should.-St.
Adams Messenger.
Guy w. Bailey is one of the popular
young men of Vermont, and his selection
as delegate to the National Conven-
ton at Chicago would be very satisfac-
tory to the people of Lamoille County.

St. J. A.
Choral Society Plans Complete

The executive committee of the Mont
pelier Choral Society has completed it's
plans for the coming musical festival on
May "a and 25, the sixth in the history OF
the society.
The society has been fortunate in hav-
ing larger chorus than in previous
years, especially in the male section, and
the enjoyment of the choral numbers will
be much enhanced thereby.
Eight soloists appearing in solo num-
bers supplemented by selected orches-
ira from the Boston Opera House and a
trained chorus of $50 voices will provide
four concerts, any one of which will be
worth coming many miles to hear. The
first concert, matinee, May "a, is an in
novation in the form of an instructive
and interesting orchestral concert, ex-
clusively for students of the schools, sea-
son ticket holders and chorus numbers.
AS the charge for admission is very
small, ten cents, the committee hopes
that all students, young and old, will take
advantage of this exceptional opportun-
ity.
The second concert, Wednesday even
evening, May "a, is devoted for the first
half to Part of Hayden's "The Crea-
tom. in which will appear Miss Marie
Stoddart, Mr., Dan Boddoe and Mr.. Will
lard Flint, New York, soloists. The sec
ond half of the program introduces the
same artists IN areas and selections of
Der, 1.-THE Lord is Great, will introduce
them and the chorus in one of the most
thrilling numbers of the entire program.
The orchestral matinee May 25 will
open with Meyerbeer's Coronation
March" by the chorus and will present
for the first time on the society's pro-
gram, Mrs. Elizabeth Bradish, dramatic
soprano, and Miss Dorothy E. Parker,
pianist, both from Burlington, who will
be heard in solo selections. The remain
der of the program will consist of special
orchestral numbers by the Boston Opera
House orchestra. The vestival will close
on Thursday evening, May 20, with
concert in which four soloists will APP

beaten by the regular Republicans, who
seem to have come back in California,
as they have in most parts of the coun-
try. California's delegation to Chicago

Wandering Bird.

The great albatross deserves to be
called the wandering albatross. A
mounted specimen is preserved in one
of our museums of a bird which, when
captured off the coast of Chile, on De-
cember 20, 1S47, had a small vial hung
on a string about it's neck. This vial
contained piece of paper, from which
it was learned that the bottle had been
attached to the bird on December IL.
1S47, by the captain of whaling YES
sci when it was about eight hundred
miles off the coast of New Zealand.
The bird, therefore, travelled at least
9,400 miles in eight days.-Frank Chap

WASHINGTON. d. c.

| Editor Neacs and Citizen:-
In your last issue you reproduced an
article from "Rural Lie" in which that
periodical appears to institute some
comparison between the States of Vir-
ginia and Vermont in the matter of agri-
cultural conditions. This, with another
factor considered of social interest in the
article, makes up the opportunity of the
writer to represent or rather misrepre-
sent Vermont as not a desirable place to
which a Kansas farmer might move to
his advantage.
l am inclined to get up on my hind
legs and paw when l read some state
ments made about our home State that
I know are not true in this article. The
writer says vermont has an abundance
of green pastures and pure spring water.
but large areas of her once productive
farming lands are now untitled, not even
used for pasture"
If it were practicable in this letter, l
would like to give you variety of facts
in regard to the farming and agricultural
conditions in Vermont and Virginia that
l have obtained from the Census Bureau
since read this article. But for your
purpose it may suffice if quote just this
one sentence, which is the very beginning
of the Census Bureau analysis on the
subject of farms and farm property in
Vermont: Prom the standpoint of ag-
ricultural development it Vermont has
long since passed out of the class of
States having large area of land suit
able for cultivation by current methods
and not yet so utilized, and is now
included among the States that utilize
for farming most of the land adapted
to that purpose"
The article from "Rural Lille" was man
festly written with the purpose of boil
stering up what its writer regarded as
moral cause, but it seems to me a pity
that he should have resorted to such
gross and absolutely indetensible misrep-
-esentation OF our State in order to do
t. Very sincerely yours,

OUR BACKWARD SPRING.-The late
ness of the spring season in Vermont is
revealed to everyone by the feeling of
the air; but further proof is given by the
United States bureau of crop estimates
which tells us that the proportion of
spring blowing done in Vermont on Nav
1 was only so per cent, as compared with
65 per cent in 1915 at the same time and
that spring planting is only per cent
done, as compared with % per cent last
year at the same time. Nevertheless
farm products are expected to come along
with rush when once they do get start
ed, making up for lost time in the early
spring.-Barre Times.
