WAR FORTUNES IN BRITAIN
Big Profits in Manufacture of War
Munitions and in Other Lines
of Industry.

War fortunes are being made in
Great Britain, says the Edinburgh Scots
man, in the manufacture of munitions
of war, in shipping, in coal, in many
trades that have been stimulated to
unusual energy and by fishermen-by
the few who have been left to carry
on that industry. Trawler shippers
are driving their own mOtOrcars and
their wives and daughters ride in them
clad in costly furs. Potato growers
are gaining great wealth by the rise in
"spuds." "a little over two months
ago." says the Scotsman, "a South
Lincolnshire farmer sold his 1000
acres of growing potatoes at f40 an
acre, on the assumption that the price
would be f5 ton. He made a profit
of over 100000, but the purchaser is
in position to sell today at double
the price he gave, and to make a prof
it on the deal of 100000. Imagine
100000 from 1000 acres Of potatoes
SO much for the romance of the hum
BILE tuber, the staple food of so many
hundreds of thousands of poor people,
who will soon grimly wonder where
the romance comes in, If tOday's alb
normal prices are not Immediately re-
adjusted, and potato exploiters taught
that there is limit to profit monger-
ing, even although the nation Is In
the throes of great war;"

Strange Cause of Fire.

How terrible fire that Quilted an
entire New York tenement house was
caused by combination of a milk

cat in question was reposing in the

MAPS SAVE MANY MILLIONS
Survey Is Having cumuIa-
tive Effect.

The work of the governments old
est scientific bureau, the geological
survey, is having a cumulative effect,
as the years go by, in a thousand diff
ferent ways in enhancing the econo-
mic efficiency of the nation. The foun-
dation of the geological surveys work
is the construction of a great topo-
graphic map of the United States. AL
ready 100000 square miles, or 40
per cent Of the nations area, has
been mapped. The distinctive charac-
teristic of these maps, which are mi
nutely accurate in every detail, is the
contour lines, each line representing
certain altitude above sea level the
intervals in altitude represented by
the distance between the lines being
10 to 100 feet according to the char
acter of the country. These maps are
Of immense practical value. For ex-
ample, when the Lackawanna railroad
decided to relocate "a miles of it's
main line few years ago, the engi-
neer Of construction got down a geolo-
gical survey map and, sitting COM
fortably at his office desk, ran all the
preliminary surveys and even made
the final location for his twelve mil
lion dollar Improvement from the data
on the printed sheet. 1t was only nee
essary to shoulder transit and go out
into the brush to verify the final 10.

A Sure Way.

Congressman Charles R. Davis of
Minnesota relates that one afternoon
train on Western railroad stopped
at small station, when one of the
passengers, in looking over the place,
found his gaze fixed upon an interest
ing sign. Hurrying to the side Of the
conductor, he eagerly inquired: "Do
you think that will have time to get
soda before the train starts?"
"Oh, yes," answered the conductor.
"But, suppose" suggested the thirs,
ty passenger, "that the train should
60 on without me?"
1--WE can easily fix that" promptly
replied the conductor. II will &c
along and have one with you."-Argo.

the close attention of his colleagues.
He is deep thinker and conscienti-
Gus in his work. Oh, no. Congress
man Dale is no demi-god, not per-
son for hero-worship-he is just a
plain, common, everyday Vermonter,
thoroughly loyal and an interchangeable
worker for what he believes right
and helpful for the people. He is a
man the people have faith in and his
views are Dale's views, not taken
from a man higher up" indie
pendence Of the good old Green
Mountain Boy sort is in the make
up Of Congressman Dale and the
people are not ready, as yet, to drop
dependable man for one who is
adept at working "niggers" into an
others woodpile. Whoever wants
to succeed Congressman Dale should
come out into the open if he wants
to get his scalp" Any other method

lous ambition and medium ability"

Insect Control.

The Importance of the few weeks
just previous to the opening of the
leaf buds on apple trees as period
for effective insect control is urged
by the Commissioner of Agriculture.
The bark of all trees infested by
scale insects and which were not
sprayed last fall should be thorough
ly covered with lime-sulphur or a
substitute material of recognized
worth at this time. The Connecticut
river valley towns of Windham coun
ty stand in greatest need of this
spraying owing to the presence of
San Jose scale; but the prevalence of
oyster shell and European fruit
scale in great many orchards
throughout the state demands the
treatment generally.
Trees which have been infected
by the spring canker worm in the
past two or three years should be
banded with tree tanglefoot, or other
sticky substance, non, injurious to
the bark, as early as possible in
April. The adult moths of these
dark colored Inch" or measuring"
worms transform from the pupa
stage in the ground. The females,
being wingless, are obliged to crawl
up the trunks of the trees in order
to deposit eggs. Banding, there
fore, affords high degree of pro-
lection. Severe infestations of these
insects cover but small areas, but
such sections have been literally dis
tributed about the state in recent
years, especially in Addison, Rut-
land, Bennington and Windsor coun-
ties.
Although comparatively scarce in
most sections, the egg masses of the
tent caterpillar should be searched
for and picked from the twigs before
the middle of April. At the same
time care should be taken to remove
all other egg masses, such as these
of the tussock moths, and all cocoons
or webs which may be found.
In all such work careful watch
should be kept for the presence of
the gray moth egg masses and the
brown-tail moth nests. The known
area of infestation of these insects
in the state IS limited to the eastern
border. Should the brown-tail be
located elsewhere or the gypsy moth
be discovered or suspected at any
point immediate notice should be
given the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture.
Specimens of all stages of the gyp-
sy moth may be seen in public libra
ries of the state.

In Ambush.

Somebody asks Congressman Por-
ter H. Dale why he should not get
off the congressional earth, or words
to that effect. First, if anybody
wants to succeed Congressman Dale
right away it would be manly to
come out and say so and not strike
from ambush. Second, if Vermont
wants to establish the precedent
that a new congressman can have
but two terms, especially if he hap
pens to fall upon a democratic ad-
ministration when republicans are
handicapped, now may be a good
time to begin. Third, before chan
ging, however, at this time it may
be we'll for any would-be successor
to show that he would do better than
Dale. Fourth, Congressman Dale
seems to have thoroughly represent
ed his district sentiment in Congress
on temperance and other measures.
Fifth, before any successor to Dale
is chosen, it will be we'll to ascertain
that the aspirant will have as much
backbone as Dale in refusing to
take orders from anybody higher
up Huntington Free Press.
Some politicians are funny crit
ters." They are more at home in
the underhand methods of trying to
get into another's place by misrepre-
sentation, deceipt and dishonorable
work than in playing the role of men
and fighting in the open. Such char
acters are not fit persons to represent
the people in our national govern
ment. We do not believe that either
of those gentlemen who tried for
the nomination of representative
when Congressman Dale was first
chosen would fight from ambush.
Mr.. Gordon and Mr.. Dunnett are
both gentlemen and manly in their
work and never would strike from
ambush. Either one of these gen.
tlemen would bring honor to the
state as representative in Congress
Sneaking, no man should attempt il
he wants to represent Vermont
There is a general belief in the sec.
snd district that Congressman Dale
has made good. He represents the
sentiment of the majority of the
people in the district. He is loyal,
honest, patriotic. and an eloquent

Inactive Kidneys
Cause Disease

i shall not soon forget the benefits derived
from the use of Foley Kidney ills."-Al. A.
Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poison Gus
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize that rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Brights dis
ease may result.
If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
inactive you should act Immediately.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

In appointing Park H. Pollard as

of Control, Governor Graham has
done a right and manly act. 1t is

Governor Graham has certainly
set state officials commendable ex-
ample in refusing to have his salary
raised from $25OO to $4,000, the limit
being placed at $4,000. This is a time
of high prices but it does not call for
extravaganza. The members of the
legislature took this view when they
refused to have their pay raised. All
this is credit to the governor and
the legislature and is just what is
expected from loyal Vermonters.
