The government bureau of crop es-
Inmates gives some interesting figures
regarding the wool clip Of 1915, com
parsons being made with that Of the
previous year From these il appear
that Maine leads the New England
States in the production Of wool, with
Vermont second. While the number
of heeces in both states was less in
1915 than in 1914, the number of
pounds in both cases was considerably
larger Vermont led all the New
England States in the number of
pounds per fleece, which shows that
her sheep are of higher grade Wy
oming leads all the states in the num-
Der of pounds produced, Rhode Island
naturally bringing up the rear.
AT the meeting of the Addison
County Farmers Association in Mid
dlebury last week a number of farm
ers were asked why it was that more
attention was no. paid to sheep rails

PERRY ACT JOkERS

1t is frequently said by those who
favor The adoption Of statewide prohi-
bition as provided by the Perry act to
be submitted next March that this
measure merely extends to the whole
state the benefcience Of no license as
/ it now exists in towns that 90 dry.
The Perry act we are told, means the
same thing as would local option if
every city and town in Vermont, under
the present system, We're to vote no
at the annual March meeting
This assumption is not correct,
either in principle or fact. The Perry
act is not fairly represented when its
sponsors claim it to be simply another
form Of local option, and voters, what
ever their final stand on the question,
should not be misled into this opinion
respecting it. The Perry act is in fact
far more stringent state prohibitory
law than the one repealed in 1903
The promoters of it, instead Of franz
ing a measure Of their own, adroitly
took the so-called Clement law and cus
out the local option feature entirely,
which was and is the basic principle of
the present liquor system Of Vermont.
This act they would have Vermont
adopt under the impression that the
good results flowing from the many
local decisions rendered annually
against opening saloons will be
achieved for the state at large by a |
single verdict.
There can be no compromise be-
tween the two principles of statewide
prohibition and local option. Any at
tempt TO make it appear that the Perry
act merely makes Vermont go dry all
over as it would if every city and town
in the state took Independent action
that way is distinctly misleading. And
Tor these reasons:
|. II is legislating away from each
,ity and town of the state the right,
by the present law, to de-
,ide whether it will have saloons o.
will not. This may be correct and
proper, bu. il is not local option or
my form Of it. In fact, it is square
lenial Of that principle. 1t is setting q
Up the right of some of the towns TO
Iecide the question of the saloon not ]
'nly for themselves but for all the 3
owns.
2. II is putting away the annual =
ubmission Of the question to the
'eople and setting up in its stead a
permanent no that cannot be changed
" The people until such time as they, I,
nder the peculiar system Of legisla y
ion that prevails in Vermont, can Z
verturn it--no easy thing, as the ex
erience Of 1903 and long period of "
citation preceding it demonstrated.

From the address Of DR.. Henry S.
Goodall delivered recently before a
regular meeting of the Rutland
County Medical and Surgical Report
ing Club in Rutland, it was brought
out that there are probably many in
this state as well as in other states,
who are suffering from tuberculosis
Of the lungs and are not aware Of the
fact.
He said in part: "A person who
coughs up blood has tuberculosis 80
times out Of 100. A person who
coughs up blood in quantities or only
in streaks or who has a cough without
blood, which lasts for from four to
six weeks, should have his lungs thor
oughly examined. A person who
feels tired and listless, who has lost
few pounds in weight who is pale,
who has persistent indigestion, or per-
slstent hoarseness, a rapid pulse or a
palpitating heart or even a fever now
and then is very often suffering from
pulmonary tuberculosis" This ought
10 set some people TO thinking and
maybe find themselves in the early
stages Of tuberculosis and get cured.

QUITTING IN"

Our compliments to Brother Per
kins, with whom it is so often The
Suns felicity to disagree. We dis
cover no matter for controversy in his
able letter to President Wilson com
menting on the Chief Executives dec
laration at Columbus that it is none
of our business what the Mcxicans do
with their Government, and Mr. Will
sons firm announcement further that
$50 long as | have the power to pre-
vent it nobody shall butt in 20 alter
it for them"
Mr.. Perkins does not address the
President as a private citizen but as
the chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the national Progressive
party, The fact that his relation to
this formerly portentous but now
quiescent organization gives certain
political flavor to The communication
does not in the least impair the accur-
acy or the force Of the document. Mr..
Perkins tells Mr.. Wilson plainly but
what good many other
Americans would like to have the
chance to tell him.
For example:
"When you refused to recognize
Huerta you certainly 'butted in in

"The result is that our prestige to-
day in every foreign capital is at a
lower ebb than ever before reached,
and | believe that very many Ameri-
cans join me in the feeling that all
this is directly traceable 20 the fact
that at the beginning of the Mexican
situation you did not act as you now
talk"
We hope that the historian 20 whom
is shall fall some day to recount in
enduring prose the good and the bad
deeds of the Administration Of Wood
row Wilson will carefully preserve this
fearless and veracious memorandum
on Quitting in" in Mexico now con-
tributed by the Hon. George W. Per-
kins.
Indeed, i. may even be said that
in this remarkably direct and forcible
letter Mr.. Perkins has furnished not
only material for future history but
also evidence of his own capacity to be
the historian in case the political and
financial affairs Of the national Pro-
Rressive party should perchance cease
by and by to engross his attention.

While nobody supposes for a minute that the country would go to the everlasting bow-wows if Mr. Hughes should be elected president, the fact that Woodrow has proven that he can safeguard the interests of the country during the most trying period through which it has ever passed, is suffi- cient induccmcnt to the average voter to let we'll enough alone. That Mr. Hughes is an awfully nice man is not denied or even questioned. The majority of men are nice but oodles of them would make a sad mess of sailing the ship of state Therefore, as Mr. Wilson knows the course and as Mir. Hughes has never sailed it, the present is not an suspicious time for changing pilots. If Wilson had not made good it would be different but he has made good in the past, is making good in the present and will make good in the future. Vivc la Wilson.

BOY AND DOG

Dogs are a lot of trouble about the home, and none too cleanly They track up the house. and scratch up the flower beds occas- ionally There are lot of arguments against harboring dogs in the city But if you have d boy, forget all of the inconveniences of dog forget all of the trouble, forget all of the arguments against the dog in general, and get the boy dog.
 No boy is a complete boy, nor can he be d complete man, without dog or the mem orv of dog. It k, says am exchange as natural that a boy should love a dog as it is that dog should love a boy. They are of one mind. No other affection is keener, or worth more. So if you have a kid in the home try some way to arrange so he can have dog. It is going to be but year or two, anyway, until you will have no further trouble with the dog and only a few years until your boy grows to the point where he finds other associates than dogs. But for the present, get dog
 And it doesn't make any difference what sort of dog it is. A plain, common cur Is hundred per cent dog, and no dog can be more dog than that. The value of a dog depends upon what you think it is worth, whether it is worth anything or not If you want a dog for hunting purposes; if you want dog for any certain purpose, then the best bred dog you can get the better. But if you only want him for a companion for your boy-well, your boy will make friends with any kind of dog, for to him dogs a dog, and nothing else in the world can take it's place

The European war which is now well into its third year, shows as little indication of ending as it did two years ago. In fact, the opposing armies appear to be just as conf- dent of ultimate success as they have ever been. Their men, money and munitions seem iuexhaustible and so long as each side shows a disposition to continue the fighting
 there is little hope that there will be any thing else. In the meantime hundreds of thousands, yes millions, of lives are being sacrificed and practically nothing is being gained By the time peace is proclaimed in Europe no matter which side wins there is little doubt but that all the nations now in- volved will have had enough war to last them until the end of time. Also when Europe has passed through the reconstruc- tion that is bound to follow the war, condi- tions which permit of few crowned heads

EQUAL RIGHTS

A Kansas City Journal man, possibly touched by the heat, dashes off this protest against the unequal rights enjoyed by men and women in the hot weather they have been having in the Middle West.
 Women demand equal rights with men. What does a woman have to wear during the oppressive dog days?
 "One low-neckcd sleeveless, mosquito netting gown,
 "One pair silk stockings,
 "Onc pair slippers,
 That's all.
 What does a man wear during the said dog days?
 One coat,
 "One vest,
 "Onc pair trousers,
 "One shirt with starched collar,
 "One pair socks, "One pair shoes,
 "One union suit,
 "One hat,
 "Onc pair suspcnders
 One belt,
 "One necktie.
