Tobacco will evidently bring good
prices this year, as a farmer told us
a few days ago that he had already
been offered $l2 per hundred from
the ground up for his 1917 crop
This sounds like an awfully big
price. but we believe farmers will get
considerably higher prices than this
for their tobacco.

would make the board con-
sist of Gov. Graham, State Treasurer
Scott Auditor of Accounts BENJAMIN
Gates, John f. Weeks of Middlebury
who has been named as director of pub

spatches from Montpelier state that
INSTRUMENTATION members of the leg
islature are incensed at the appointment
of Mr.. Pollard, and that they will fight
his confirmation. Well, the field is be-
fore them, and no favors will be asked.
Mr.. Pollard is a cleancut type of a bust
ness man, who now represents his town
in the legislature. He has been a public
service commissioner, and to some has
committed the objectionable offense of
heading the Democratic state committee
If any Of the bigoted members want to
fight him ON political grounds, when he
may be the fifth member Of board

is the time for them to strike. Mr.. Pol

firmation ought to be made unanimously

LITTLE FOOD IN BAVARIA.
Minister Says Teutons Must Hold Out
Bitter Week at Hand.

LONDON, March 30.-A gloomy pie
ture of the food situation in Bavaria
was drawn by Minister of the Interior
Brettreich in an address before the
Landtag, according to Berne despatch
to Reuters. Minister Brettreich Is
quoted as saying that the recent stool
taking had shown that there was a
deficiency of 10000 tons in Bavarian
breadstuffs. Conditions outside Bava-
ria, he said, were even more unfavor-
able.
The minister said that it could not
be denied that during the war Ger
tain friction had arisen between north
and south Germany chiefly due to the
administration of the war. He said
there were more than 20 different war
organizations in Germany and that a
greater consolidation would have been
preferable. After predicting that the
coming week would be very hard on the
people he concluded:
But we must hold out. If we lie
down England will squeeze the blood
out of our finger nails, even if the war
ended tomorrow the bitter weeks are
not over. Only one thing is left--to
hold out.

The Reformcr notes with approval
that Representative George l.. Durham
of this town voted against the Morse
bill, which the Vermont house Of repre-
sentatives passed TO p third reading
yesterday by vote of l05 to 1902 This
bill provides for referendum on the
liquor question each year and in eff
feet does away with the local option
principle which the people of the state
voted to retain In casting his ballot
Mr.. Durham showed himself to be fully
conscious of the wishes of his con
stituents as expressed in the Perry
referendum of March, 1916. If other
members of the legislature had given
the same consideration TO the wishes OF
the folks AZ home the Morse bill would
have been defeated as it deserves II
be.

Federal Aid for Highways.
Rutland News.

What is Vermont doing to get ii line
to receive its allotted share OF the fed
eral appropriation fer highways! 1t Is
time TO prepare. There is available, il
conditions of the law are met, 100000
for the first half-year of 1917; 900
for the next fiscal year; increasing
amounts succeeding years. 1t is fed
eral aid worth having, surely. Why
not devote the first $4,000 to improv-
ing the so-called Woodstock road,
the most important crossstate highway
of Vermont? The $4,000, matched
with like amount from the state, to
gether with the special appropriations
from all the towns concerned, making
total of perhaps 500 900, ought to &C
long way toward making the road
from White River Junction, the gate
way to the White Mountains, TO Rut
land, the gateway to the Champlair
valley and New York state, worthy
competitor of the famous Mohawk
Trail over Hoosac mountain at North
Adams, Mass.
