However, the misinformation is only
what might be expected of govern
ment which is hard put to it and is
forced to resort to lying about its enc
mics. A German officer recently stated
that he viewed with supreme contempt"
the entrance of the United States against
Germany, and it is with similar AFRO
gance that the German government views
the first outpouring of cash against it.
OF course, an over subscription of so per

CURRENT COMMENT
Progress of Honor Experiment.

The Herald is glad to learn that the
/ u men who have been working "or
their honor at the state ehildren's
home in Brandon have so far fully
warranted the confidence of the authori.
ties and are doing excellent service, just
as good as, or better than any men
that could be hired.
In talking to the men recently, Judge
j. L. Weeks, director of the state in
situations, told them that they were
making history and that the authorities
put it absolutely up to the men as to
whether the experiment would be a sue
cess. The reply was significant:
you won't be disappointed"
The use of the state farm at Windsor
as detention farm is also a step in
the right direction and will result in a
number of men, who might previously
have been confined in jails, being EN-
ployed on the farm, producing food and
at the same time improving their ply
steal condition as they work out the
sentences of the courts for short-term
offences.
This idea of detention farms was
pet notion of Sheriff Frank Tracy of
Washington county, who was also a
pioneer in the system of employing men
outside the prison walls on honor.
The whole science of penology is I'M
dergoing a wholesome and useful trans
formation, largely due to disuse of the
punishment idea. Little real reform
comes from the system of rigorous and
punitive occupation which comes to us
e. l.
tain to come from the employment of
men outdoors at healthful and produc-
tive occupations.
All Vermonters interested in the sue
cess of our state institutions will hope
that the II honor men at Brandon will
make good and that their record will
be incentive to good work elsewhere

BARRE's RED CROSS GIFT.

The compilation of the statistics OF
Barre's contribution to the American
Red Cross fund reveals that approx.
mately one fifth of the entire population
men, women and children-gave some
thing to the good purpose. There were
no large subscriptions. even as there were
no large purchases of Liberty loan bonds,
the campaign being made up of small
gifts from a full heart rather than from
a full pocketbook. There were some who
were able to contribute and who failed
to do so for some reason or other; but
in the main it may be said that an UNI
usually large proportion participated in
the movement. In enlisting the co-opera-
ton Of nearly $500 people, the campaign
committee did its share of the work well

TO ascertain the figure taken TO rep
resent the quality OF milk supplied by
each dealer the average bacterial count
OF the years samples WAS determined
The average was given a number OF
points out of 35 which such a count was
allowed on the milk score card The
fat and the solids not fat were likewise
averaged The flavor and odor score, sed
iment and bottle and cap scores given by
the Judges were added and likewise the
temperature score.
In reporting the respective standing of
the various dealers, they were classified
according to their scores. Those dealers
whose milk scored between IS and so
were put in the same class; likewise
dealers, scoring between so and So or SIS
and 90, were CLASSIFIED together.
Il was not deemed wise to report the
scores to a tenth of a point. For all
practical purposes milk supplied by deal
ers within 5.point classification is on a
par so far as the comparative quality of
the product OF each is concerned.
By collecting samples from the deliv
cry wagons and dealers the quality of
milk actually delivered to the consumers
is determined The publication of the
standing of each dealer in the contest
gives the consumer definite indication
as to the quality of milk which his deal
er is supplying. For business reasons
dealers become anxious to produce milk
of high quality. Such contest is valu-
able in raising the standard of milk sup
piled to the entire city.

The sum of .$llO,oOO,oO0 raised by pop
ular subscription throughout the United
States will make a fine start toward the
care of the American soldiers who are to
be sent abroad; but if the war continues
a year or two that amount will be but
q minor fraction of the amount which
the American people will be called upon
to furnish for their countrymen. The
individual contribution is. moreover, all
out of proportion to the tremendous sac.
rifce which the soldiers themselves are
called upon to make. If we don't go to
war, we ought to be willing to pay, and
pay literally, toward the comfort of
those who do go.

An evidence that the country is be-
ginning to come to the realization that
we are at war with Germany is afforded
by the decision to suspend the annual
football game between the national mil
itary academy and the national naval
academy during the coming fall. The
elimination of that game ought to give
much more time to the serious duty of
preparing the young men for active serv-
ice, while at the same time it will cut
down an expense which might be consid-
cred more or less of luxury.
