article sent in by the different de-
partments of state and national
governments, the different Chart
able and benevolent organizations,
local, state and national, the diff
erent railroads, business organiza-
tions, local churches, societies.
etc., it would make a volume of
each issue that few would have
time to read and fewer would care
to read. Never day goes by that
newspapers are not asked to pub
lish some of these things. Most
people take it as a matter of course
and do NOT even give one thought
of thanks or appreciation. Each
column of type that a country
newspaper has set costs mans
time for about a half day,
and that man gets his money each
Saturday night, whether these
notices are free or are paid for.
Most papers publish these notices,
at least a part of them, without
charge, others receive half regu-
lar pay for them, and still others
charge full rate for them. But
those that put them in free should
certainly be made to feel that they
re appreciated -Fayette FALCON.

GOOD PUBLIC SPIRIT AND LOYALTY

| GOOD PUBLIC SPIRIT AND 10y Ally
The patriotic and public. spirited eff
forts put forth by the residents of
/ Orange. one OF Vermont's smaller towns,
to pay tribute to her sons who partici-
pated in the nations wars are worthy of
emulation by all the communities of Yer
mont, notably by some of the cities and
larger towns, the names of which it will
not be necessary to mention That
town of scarcely more than 600 people
should have the spirit and energy to
carry through project of that nature
ought to serve as an inspiration to the
other communities of Vermont which are
still without memorials of that nature
but which have far larger numbers and
greater resources from which to draw
for subscriptions. In many towns and
cities the handicap to such project
seems to be that too ambitious plans are
outlined at the first consideration of the
project; it is thought that great sum
of money should be raised in order to
put up fitting memorial. As a result
the projectors of the move become dis
couraged as their work lags and the eff
forts are abandoned too easily; and each
time the efforts are abandoned the con
summa ton of the project becomes less
likely The plans brought to a climax
in Orange Saturday afternoon might well
be used by many communities in Yer
mont in giving fitting recognition of the
soldiers and sailors who went forth to
war.

A Bad Record.

The civil service reform record Of
President Wilson is uninspiring. When
he vacated several thousand fourth class
postmasterships with the svowed inten-
tion Of filling the vacancies by competi-
tive examinations, the reformers breathed
freely Then came Postmaster Burle-
sons printed announcement that in Sc
Letting new postmasters from the eligi-
bles he would ask the advice of congress
men from the districts concerned. Later
il developed that he consulted, with but
one or two exceptions, only the Demo-
cratic congressman. The avOwotl re
form had become an open loot
The civil service reform league asked
to look at the list Of eligibles. in order
10 check up the alleged scandal, and to
do full justice to the postal department
The civil service commission refused. And
President Wilson sustained its refusal.

there been one. here was a chance to
throw pitiless publicity on a dark spot.

largely because of the isolation of that
country and, too, because Germany exer'
cises subtle influence over the publicity
affairs of the dual monarchy However
the assassination of Premier Stuergkh
may be taken TO be an indication that
there is a great deal of turmoil in the in
ternal administration of affairs there and
that the ferment is growing SO strong as
to bring that nation TO a condition OF
partial chaos. Premier Stucrgkh was
reported to be classed among the moder'
ates of the monarchy, those who held
that the central powers, notably Ger
many, would be willing to end the war
without great demands. His assassina
tion might be taken to mean, therefore,
that the element he represented was
growing in strength throughout the coun-
try, or at least that Sutergkh was per
sistent in presenting his side of the in
evitable great debate, to the dissatisfac-
lion of the radicals who wished TO pro.
ong the war to the bitter end.

A Disappointing Exhibit.

No one at all familiar with the agricul-
tural resources of Vermont can help feel
ing disappointed, not so say ashamed
at the states exhibit at the national
dairy show. This does not apply to the
work of the boys and girls but to the
showing in the Vermont tent. Not only
were the exhibits mediocre in quality
but their arrangement was poor and the
decorations were cheap and tawdry. The
Reformer does not know who was respon-
sible for this contribution. but it does
know that it failed entirely to give an
adequate idea of Vermont's achievements
in any line of agricultural endeavor.
When the state is again called upon to
produce evidence in this direction let
us hope that it win make representa-
tive effort rattleboro Reformer.

is expected that the available tonnage
will increase, because of the extension OF
hemp growing and increasing use of ma
chine brakes.
Calculation by the departments spe-
cialists of the raw material and acreage
necessary for permanent supply OF ma
terials for pulp mill producing 25 tons
of fiber a day for 800 days per year, or
1900 tons a year, shows that the an
nual growth from 10000 acres would be
required in the case of wood as against
the annual production of hemp hurds
from 10000 acres.
The cost OF manufacture Of paper from
hurds has not been estimated by the in
vestigators, but, because OF the increas-
ing cost Of wood pulp and the increasing
acreage of hemp grown in the United
States, it is believed that the time may
come when the use of the material in the
paper making industry will be profit

Norwich university has one record this
year of which it should be proud the
record OF s4.s per cent of last years
underclassmen returning to continue
their college courses. The percentage Of
old students returning to the university
is slightly more than 10 per cent higher
than any previous record at the institu-
ton, and is, indeed, larger than usually
is TO be found in most Of the colleges Of
the country. Such a general resumption
of college work indicates beyond doubt
that the students are interested in their
courses and determined to carry the pro

HEMP STALK
FRAGMENTS FOR
PAPER MAKING
Possibilities of This Waste Material In
vestigated By Government
Specialists.

| That satisfactory quality of book
! paper can be made from hemp hurds, the
waste stalk fragments produced in pre-
pairing hemp fiber for market, is a con,
clusion reached by specialists of the Z.
s. department of agriculture as a result
OF commercial tests made in cooperation
with paper manufacturer. The expert
ments and the economic conditions sur
rounding the use of hemp hurds as pa
per making material are described in a
new professional paper of the depart
ment of agriculture, bulletin 404.
The Investigations demonstrated that
the hurds can be reduced chemically to
paper stock by the soda process under
practices little different from those EN-
ployed for the manufacture of pulp from
poplar wood Slightly more bleach was
necessary, and beating was found desir-
able for somewhat longer period A
against these items of increased expense
in comparison with poplar wood as
raw material, the first preparation of the
hunls at the mill is less expensive. 1t is
necessary only to sieve the latter. while
the wood must be Clipped with expen
sive machinery. Storage possibly would
be more expensive for hurds, as storing
in the opening the method employed
for wood-probably would be inpracti
able.
Because of the lightness of the hurds
of this material in the digesting
chamber must be smaller than charges
of poplar wood. The experiments showed
that the weights of the charges ran
about COS per cent of the weight OF
poplar wood charges. The total yield Of
air dry fiber from mrds was 33l per
cent as compared with about AZ per cent i
of sirdry fiber from poplar wood.
Hemp is now grown in Kentucky, Ohio.
Indiana. Wisconsin and California. In
Kentucky, however. the fiber is separat
ed from the stalks by hand brakes moved
about the fields. and the hurds, there
fore, are so scattered that their use for |
paper making is not economically prac |
ticable. 1t * only in the other states

Porter H. Dale not becoming acquainted

When he received his first election it was
proven that he enjoyed a winning follow
ing of friends, who knew him and banked
on his ability for the position. At the
primary just passed no one seemed very
anxious to oppose his nomination, and
what's more it would have been OF little
use. Congressman Dale will do some

The magnitude of the national dairy
show just held at Springfield, Mass, can
be judged by those who did not attend
by the fact that the total attendance for
the 10 days was 297 900 people and that
the attendance on the final day was 25,
900, which was almost up to the average
for the 10 days. The latter fact reveals
that there was something worth while
at the show, in contrast to some exhib-
tions where the shows pail on the people
so that the final days attendance is re
dueed to very small numbers There will
undoubtedly be a strong attraction for

KINKS FROM COUNTY AGENTS.
Extension Workers Try Out Methods to
Aid Their Communities.

Here are a few kinks tried out and
found successful by county agents in
the North and West:
Certain farmers Of Clay county, MINI,
found that potato standardization work
pays. These farmers planted seed in
plats OF from one to five acres. They
used only seed true to type, of good
quality, free from disease, and carefully
treated the seed before planting. The
plants were inspected carefully twice
and all diseased hills removed Two OF
these farmers sold all Of their plat po-
tatoes for SloG per bushel when the price
for the ordinary run OF potaties was %
cents. Fifteen dollars extra spent for
seed for 10 acres returned a profit of
S75 on another farm.
Oneida county, Wis, is growing potato
seed in more than carload lots Twenty
five ears were contracted for at 20 cents
per bushel and an option taken on 10
cars more to local buyers previously for
from 80 to 40 cents per bushel.
Coulee crickets threatened to become
very destructive in Fremont county,
Idaho. After consultation with entomol-
ogists, the following poison bait was
used: Bran. 10 pounds; white arsenic, l
pound; sugar factory molasses, ! gal
lon. Fifteen to 81 dead crickets to the
square foot were found, which, it is es
timated represented not less than % per
cent of them. Out OF an appropriation

Lights on All Vehicles.

The Springfield Reporter calls atten.
tion to much needed reforma law re-
quiring all vehicles to carry light while
on the highway after dark. 1t is claimed
that this would work hardship on some
farmers who might be caught away from
home after dusk, but this would be a
trifing matter compared with the pro-
lection the light would give to all night
travellers. The present law requires au-
tomobiles to carryp light, as protec.
ton to others. Why not allow the auto
driver protection, too? We join with The
Reporter in its effort to get action on
this matter by the incoming legislature,

Every youth who takes a rifle or shot
gun into his hands should bear in mind
the sad case of the l4-yearold boy at
Marshfield who was killed when thrust
ing shotgun, butt first, into boat.
The safe way to handle firearms is with
the butt toward the holder and the muz-
zle pointed downward. A still safer way
is to leave firearms alone until the bump
of caution is sufficiently developed.
