misrepresentation Vermont.

Certain out.of-the-state newspapers
for no apparent reason, have lately
been making a specially of misrepre-
senting Vermont in the matter of en-
listments in the regular army.
Chief offenders have been two New
England newspapers, the Springfield
Republican and the Boston Globe,
both of which used to be leading ex-
ponents of New England sentiment,
with large following in Vermont.
OF late years, both have lost rapidly
in Vermont circulation and will lose
a great deal more as time goes on.
IN the first place, their figures are
wrong. Then they never
take into account Vermont's very
contributions to other

arms of the service, the navy, the
medical corps, aviation, etc. Neither
have they ever taken any notice OF
the very considerable enlistment in
the Canadian corps, as shown by the
frequent mention OF Vermont names
in casualty lists.
There are fairly good reasons why.
in the mere single detail OF the regu
lar army enlistments, Vermont, with
its almost utter lack of large centers
of population, its few recruiting sta.
tions and the very considerable
drain made on its manhood by the
draft and by the National guard en-
listments, should find itself enlisting
few men directly into the army
service, but the resentment of Yer
monters is mostly directed toward
the spirit in which the criticisms are
made. rather than toward the criti-
cisms themselves.
The Herald has a very fixed idea
that those newspapers which have
gone out of their way to disparage
Vermont by such ill-mannered asper-
sions Will find very practical
answer in their circulation lists and
that very shortly.-Rutland Herald

VERY ENJOYABLE PROGRAM

A very enjoyable program was pre-
seuted by the S. ID. S. G.. Harmony
Quartette Sunday afternoon, as n of
the series Of Sunday afternoon con
certs. and as is usual the attendance
was large as well as appreciatiye.
The work of the Quartette proved
exceedingly commendable, their voices
blending unusually well and their Sc
lections were rendered in excellent
musical taste. The arrangement Of
"Massa's in the Cold. Cold Ground
with Miss Linn as soloist vas received
with marked favor and the arrange
ment of "The Rosary" was unusually
effective.
The program was varied by solos by
the different members of the quartette
as well as an exceedingly we'll render
ed group of songs by Miss Linn.
The splendid work of the company
should meet with immediate favor and
render them very popular wherever
they may appear.

INVENTS THRESHER

The State College paper, the Indus
trial Collegian, says that E.
r. Searles does not claim to be
an inventor or even a manufacturer
but the result obtained from a piece of
his work might well prove him capable
of either. Previous to this winter il
has been the custom for men to spend
many laborious hours by the old meth
cd of f1aying in order to thresh out
the sugar beet seed raised by the ex-
pertinent station.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Searles set to
work and lot only invented a new
way of doing this work, but carried
out his plans and manufactured a ma
chine with which to do the work. The
machine is in fact a t%hreshing machine
in a miniature stage. 1t works on the
same principle as the large threshing
machine, but is adapted especially to
the threshing of sugar beet seed.
The work of manufacturing the ma
chine was done by Mr.. Searles himself
with any crude material obtainable to
carry out his plans. The threshing
was completed the first of the week,
owe five hundred pounds of good
sugar beet seed, we'll cleaned, having
been run through the small thresher.
One great advantage of this machine
over the old method of threshirg is
the removal of the great amount of
dirt and chaff which heretofore has
caused a great amount of trouble. The
machine has proven a great labor
much better grade of seed is obtain
able.

Atlantic Fleet at Guantanamo

The Atlantic fleet, with its super
~dreadnaught fighting line, was at the
training range at Guantanamo, Cuba,
when relations between the United
States and Germany became tense.
Admiral Henry Il. Mayo, commander
in-chief of the fleet, was officially no.
titled Immediately of what vas likely
to transpire. In what manner he has
disposed OF his feet Of more than 4
hundred fighting vessels is known
only to a few in Washington.
There were fourteen battleships in
the feet which slipped quietly away
from the practice range at the first
warning of trouble. Ten of the four
teen we're of the superdreadnaught
type, while four were vessels con-
tracted for and build before 1913.
The Arizona, newest addition to the
feet, is the biggest Of them all. None
of the naval powers has a fighting
vessel that can reach it in size. 1t is
larger by two hundred tons than the
Pennsylvania. the flagship Of Admiral
Mayo, of which it Is a sister ship.

Bookings have been looked after be
fore the committees by President
Perisho, Professor Larson, Captain
Matson. r. F. Kerr, and Walter
Cheever, who have been presenting to
the committees the needs OF that in

Senator Whittemore, evidently draw
ing his inspiration from the situation
in Deuel. county when they came to the
legislature looking after an act legal
izing their old organization election,
has introduced a bill in the senate
legalizing generally all county organ
ization elections within the state, to
save special acts for this purpose.
There was a contest between the
farmers and the school men OF the
Martin bill to allow higher grades than
the eighth to be taught in country
schools. Ruben attempted to hold this
down, and later to get in an amend

a just what they wanted, and they
went over the school objections with
out hesitation, and passed the bill,
the support coming from all sections
of the state.
The senate rushed in a lot of new
bills Monday, among them n by
Carlisle appropriating $4,000 for re-

ewhn it passed the general rural
credits bill carrying an appropriation
of two hundred thousand dollars to
put it into effect, without a single
protes: or adverse vote. The Alseth
