The Dairyman's Problem.

The endeavor of the food administra'
ton to regulate the prices of stock feed
so as to lend some relief from the pres
ent exorbtant figures viii interest the
dairvmen in New England. They have
for the last few years found it exceed
inrly difficult To get their product into
Boston for a price that the distributors
could afford to pay. They have persist
entity reported of late that large mum
bers of cows are likely to go into beef
if the business continues unprofitab bic.
Many dairymen have already gone into
other lines of work.
The problem of milk production and
distribution j. much more complex than
il appears. Ten-cent milk j. almost a
tradition with city people, who cannot
imagine why the price should advance.
Yet the cost Of farm labor, Of feed and
OF transportation. to say nothing Of the
innumerable minor expenses that enter
into the total i steadily advancing. The
distributors likewise have their prob
lens. for wagon drivers are asking and
getting and deserving more pay.-Bus-
ton Herald.

RUMANIA's DELICATE POSITION


The position of little Rumania is de-
cidedly delicate. That nation did not
sign an armistice with the Teutonic
powers because of desire to cut loose
from its allegiance with the entente al
lies but because of necessity when its
great neighbor, Russia, entered upon a
cessation of hostilities with the Teutons.
Rumanian forces would have been wiped
off the face of the earth had they still
opposed Germany and Austria, after
Russia had given up. 1t would have
surely been national suicide to have
continued hostilities. Therefore. Ruma-
mia finds itself in a very unsatisfactory
position-anxious to maintain trust with
its chosen allies but forced to treat with
its enemies to the extent of an armistice
AT least that is the opinion held concern
ing Rumania in the entente world, and
the opinion is strengthened by the pro-
feststions of allegiance to the allies still
coming from the Rumanian capital. Ru-
mania deserves a better fate than to be
betrayed by the great neighboring ma
tion, which was foremost in inducing
the little nation to enter the war and
which promised to protect Rumania.

Some Vermont people are so interest
ed in the Red Cross drive that they
are subscribing dollar in the name of
prize cattle. On the other hand, there
are some Vermont people who are so deaf
to the appeal for relief of our soldier
boys abroad that they will not subscribe
dollar in their own name. Don't be in
the latter class.

British and French confidence in Gen.
eral Pershing is shared by Americans.
The commander of the American exped-
tionary forces in France is not doing
much talking in the public press now
adays and he is respected for his silence
by most people, who believe his silence
means strict attention to the preparation
of his army for the serious work ahead.
Pershing was not very communicative
when he was at the head of the Amer
lean forces in Mexico last summer; in
fact, he was so communicative that
it disturbed the war department now
and then. Nevertheless he was doing
something. 1t is expected that he is
following the same program in France.
