On Canning.

The canning season now Is here,
Canicular het atmosphere,
Most everywhere the cans career;
They we canned the beans, the bombs,
the beer;
Canned ''can' in cancellation.
They re canning odds and ends OF
things,
Whatever buds, sprouts, swims or wings,
From cabbages right down to kings,
Who, like the beans, have lost their
strings
Through which each pulled nation.
Now while the canning season S in,
May one propose also to tin
The hurlers of the javelin
That S aimed at Uncle Sam, and skin
The hide off hidebound shirkers7
Let s can the pacifstic fad,
Trepan the shuffier and the shad
Who makes no bones of urging bad
And good alike to ply the CAD
Ban all the e. S. burkers!
Let s can-and solder down the top
The patriot who puts his shop
Above the common veal, and slop
A label on him-make him drop
His petty little schism.
In fact suppose we put the ban
On cum in un-American.
Let s all join in the flame to fan
That fires woman, child and man
The flame of patriotism,
Maurice Morris.

The Bennington Banner quotes an ex-
rcrienccd farmer as saying that the re-
cent disastrous frost should teach farm
crs generally to SOW more small grains
because they are surcr to mature than
corn and do not require so much labor
to grow as does corn. Oats barley,
wheat and buckwheat all do well in this
section. They can be sown in the spring
long before corn can be planted and
are always ready to harvest before
frost. The suggestion is worthy of Sc
rious consideration.

Vermont has lost the service of an
efficient public servant in the resigna-
tion Of Miss Rebecca w. Wright of
Montpelier as member of the Free
public library commission. Miss Wright
has been the secretary and executive
officer of the commission several years,
having charge of its reports, publica
tions and other important work. She
possessed an exceptional training when
she took up this work, being a graduate
of Radcliffe and of the New York state
library school. 1t will be difficult tC
find another person of equal capabilities
for the position.

One cause of automobile accidents is
ignorance on the part of many opera
tors Of ears of the rules of the road
They begin driving a machine knowing
that you turn to the right in meeting
n car coming toward you and that in
passing a car ahead you turn to the
left, and there their knowledge of road
law ends. They rush ahead when the
road of right belongs to some other fell
low, with the result that cars smash to
gether Collisions would be almost en-
tirely eliminated if few simple rules
which every operator ought to know
were observed.

Save the Birds.



Attention is again called to the necessity
of protecting the birds that act as the CON
servation police of the woods and plants
OF the land and the grave consequences
which are bound to follow their indis-
eliminate slaughter As the science of pre-
vention is now SO well understood and
thoroughly studied with an appreciation
of its true value, the folly of allowing the
forests to be deprived of their natural
safeguards and of permitting the crops to
fall prey to various insect ravages rather
than protect the bird enemies to those
destructive pests ought to be patent to all,
and If human sense is not sufficiently
aroused to the danger of wanton destruc-
ton OF the birds, then the law should step
TN with sufficient deterrent power to insure
the safety of these valuable little friends

In our humble opinion the war de-
partment at Washington might try
a little censorship right in its own de-
partment. 1t is a rather poor adj
vertisement to announce that the valu-
able information compiled by Gen.
Pershing regarding his command has
gone astray among the papers of the Sec
rotary of war and cannot be found, al
though it is supposed to be "some-
where among the files. y Then there is
talk about the Liberty motor that will
bring victory to the air armies. Secre-
tary Baker says it is the best motor
ever invented, and that it can be turned
out bv tens of thousands We all hope
this is so, but in telling the American
lied that the information would go to
all the world, including our enemies,
the Huns. Why wouldn It it have been a
good idea to copy the German way
