HIGH BROW FARMING.

In the good old days of Jack and the
Bean Stalk and from then down
through the generations to the days of
the Ford automobile and other troubles,
the farmer who earned his bread by the
sweat Of his brow held in contempt
the book farmer who got his theories
and experience from the printed page
instead of in the school of hard knocks.
Those of us who are no longer young
well remember how our farmer fathers
and neighbors got their backs up and
their hammers ont for anybody who
thought he could learn to be a success
full farmer by going to school or col
lege, or anywhere else except by being
brought up in the farming business.
They welcomed the man who wore
callouses on his hands and scorned
him who wore spectacIes because Of
much study. They did their farming
by main strength and not as an intel.
lectual pursuit
Then all at once came the day Of the
highbrow, efficiency engineers and lab
oratory experts. Almost in day
farming changed from a sentence at
hard labor for life to theory of chem
zeal analysis. business management
and scientific control
The old time farmers were left limp
ing along behind the bunch while the
colts of the new school romped off
with their heads in the air and i'll con

SHY OF AMUSEMENT BAN
Methodist Leaders Hope to Avoid oper
Conference Debate.

Saratoga. May 2l-Although six
subjects of supreme Importance to the
Methodist Episcopal church still
await legislative action, the General
conference is expected to complete its
deliberations this week.
The leaders of the General Confer
ence hope to conclude this session with
cut the usual controversy on the sub
iect of amusements, The committee
on the State of the church will present
a majority and a minority report, the
one to preserve the list of prohibited
amusements in the Book of Discipline
and the other to eliminate 1t.
Chancellor James r. Day, Chairman
Of the committee, is one of those in
favor of elimination, and may address
the delegates unless an agreement is
reached net to debate the subject. The
leaders feel that the church derives no
benefit from the notoriety regularly
attracted b ythe discussion and will
vote to eliminate argument IL possible.

AFTER FIVE YEARS
Bennington Testimony Remains Un
shaken.

Time is the best test of truth. Here
is a Bennington story that has stood
the test of time II is a story with a
point which will come straight home
to many of us.
r. j. Taylor, Bennington, says:
For several years, had backache,
directly over my kidneys. 1t came and
went at regular intervals at first, but
for the last two or three years, it an
noyed me almost constantly. Then !
had headaches and dizziness and a
cold always made me worse. | was
compelled to pass the kidney secre-
tons too often. was advised to try
them at Coles Drug Store They did
me a great deal of good soon after !
commenced taking them. The pain in
my back left and the other troubles
were removed"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr.,
Taylor said; Thine has not altered
my high regard for Doan's Kidney
Pills and | willingly endorse them
again. For some years have been free
from kidney trouble"

without ever looking into a book, but
he doesn't know much about the JOY OF
living and will never be pointed out as
a leading citizen or as a good example.
On the other hand it may be possible
for farmer to keep OFF the town even
if he is trained in a laboratory and
goes through life with a book in one
hand and germ in the other, but he is
more likely to be considered the town
nut than a successful farmer.
A man who succeeds anywhere at
any time must have the doors of his
mind open because new ideas do not al
ways carry a gimlet and a cold-chisel.
He should not. however, be so intent
in listening for the first chirp, of new
idea that he fails to hear the rumble of
a full-grown thunder shower coming
up over the hin in haying time
The manufacturer who succeeds
spends part of his time in work and an
other part in study and hunting for i'm
provement The lawyer who ranks
high in his profession is student of
law and practice whenever he has a
| spare moment. The doctor who gains
a reputation and earns big fees is for
ever on the lookout for the latest and
best The editor who amounts to any
thing must spend part of his time in
learning from men who know more
than he does
| The farmer who wants to make a
success is not different from other men
No matter how strong his muscles OF
| how rigid his backbone, they arent
worth much unless directed by a brair

Derby, Vt.
Dear Sir: AS came up the noun
tain yesterday, at the slow stage pace,
was impressed beyond description
with the well-nigh thrilling grandeur Of
the scenery and especially the wide
ness of the roadside from the gate way
to the extent OF the forest, which is
getting now very dense upon each side,
This in connection with the splendid
road, which was perfectly hard and
smooth, in spite of the recent long
rains, caused me to consider what a
desirable thing it would be If settle
ment of the turnpike matter could be
made in such friendly way that the
owners would deed strip each side OF
the road, five rods. for instance, be
yond the regular two rods, to the state
with the road so that this magnificent
roadside could be perpetually pre-
served. 1t would require about sixty
acres only.
Looking ahead, as We always should
il is certainly matter for high con

Splendid Possibility offered by the

Peru Turnpike.
Editor of The Banner:-In connec.
ton with the adjustment of the Peru
Turnpike matter now pending before
the commissioners at Manchester De
pot, the question has come up of the
desirability OF adjusting the matter so
that the owners will deed a strip be
side the roadside so that the splendid
forest now growing beside the roadside
can be perpetually preserved-eyen if
no more than five rods upon each side.
This addition in connection with the
fine condition of the road bed would
add much to the charm and attraction
of the drive. The ten rod addition to
the forest part of II, about three miles
would require sixty acres and looking
ahead, as we always should in every
matter. this subject is worthy of can

delightful surprise for them.
Rousing speeches were made by
President George Patten and w. A.
Roberts and others. al! of which the
Toys enjoyed very much. The
speakers put good deal of pep
into their talks and assured the
players they were with them from

grade of vice admiral, succeeding
ADMIRAL Mayo.
Admiral Fletcher will automati-
ealiy become rear admiral. lie will
receive an important shore detail.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels an
nounced these changes after con-
ference with President Wilson. The
secretary also conferred personally
this week with Admirals Fletcher
and Mayo.
When relieved of the command
today" said Secretary Daniels.
Admiral Fletcher will have served
"a little longer than fleet commanders
usually serve. He is a splendid Of
ficer and has accomplished much
with the fleet. He has completed
his tour of duty as commanding Of
ficer of the fleet, and there is no
other reason for the change.
Admiral Mayo is an officer of
great ability, and has rendered
splendid service" said MIR. Daniels.
"EIe has the confidence Of the Of
ficers and men in the entire feet. "
Admiral Mayo is the man who
precipitated the trouble with Huerta
which resulted in the occupation of
Vera Cruz by American forces. The
admiral insisted that Huerta salute
the American flag because of the
arrest of Amer can marines at Tam
pico when they went ashore TO get
mail. Later marines we're landed
at Vera Cruz, and Admiral Fletcher
was in command of the movement.
In service circles unanimous praise
was given today to Mr.. Daniels Sc
lection of Vice Admiral Mayo for
the most coveted of posts. There is
a particular feeling of satisfaction
at the appointment because of the
fear that Vive Admiral Mayo's part
in the Tampico affair during the crit
ical days of the struggle with Huer-
ia had placed that officers star un-
der a cloud -
But Admiral Fletcher proved a
strong friend for Vice Admiral Mayo,
and when the Atlantic fleet was or
ganized, with Admiral Fletcher in
command. Rear Admiral Mayo re-
ceived command of the battleshlp
squadron and of the first division,
with the rank of vice admiral.
Vice Admiral Mayo comes TO
flett command at the age OF fifty
six. retiring in December. 1918. His
recent duties have been as com
mandant of the Mare Islasd navy
ward. aid for personnel, and division
commander in the Atlantic fleet.
