Advertising Farm Produce.

An adv. by the Hartford Market Gar
deners association in one of the lead
ing agricultural journals brings to our
attention the possibilities of farm pro-
ducc advertising. This is a field which
has never been opened and one which
ought to have great possibilities. 1t
may be used to create a want for good
things from the farm, to relieve a
9luttcd market by calling the attention
Of consumers to bargains in vegetables,
and should be an excellent means of
bringing the consumer and producer
closer together. The need exists and II
requires only some live advertising man
TO develop it. Here is a chance for the
managers of county or city newspapers
to cooperate with produce associations
to work out scheme of this kind which
cannot help but be a benefit The farm
er is isolated more than any other class
of profession. It pays to advertise -
ought to be n slogan for him even more
than it is for the city business man.

that this minority should block the
way TO the necessary reform which
Lord Kitchener proposed in 1919, which
Mr.. George proposes now, and which,
if it had been adopted in time, would
have saved Serbia, if not Rumania
and Italy.
Mr.. George hints that Italy S dan
ger was foreseen by Sir William Rob
ertson, the head of the British gen
eral staff, but that the lack Of war
council prevented him from being able
to enforce his recommendations for
warding it off. The case for a war
council was complete without that
erowning revelation. The political
partisan and personal objections to it
must not be permitted to weigh for a
moment against the pressing need
which was so convineingly expounded
by the premier in his speech. He
said that he had America, France, It
ally and England with him, and he
has
There have been only two things, he
really feared. One was defeat through
lack of unity and the other was de-
feat by the submarine. "Of the sub
marine | have no longer any fear,
he says, and this is thrilling mes
sage. When he couples with that
hat-footed declaration the fact that
| five submarines were sunk on Saturday
alone he hints strongly that the fail
ure of ruthlessness in the last two
weeks has not been due to German dis
couragement, but to the increase of al
| lied efficiency in coping with il, and
| in that result we can all take unmixed
| pride. The other menace remains
The efficiency which has routed the sub
marine must be brought into play
| against it, too. In his earnest and
sensible endeavors toward that end
Mr.. George has the unstinted support
of the United States, whose only fear
is that he does not go far enough.

Every farmer in Vermont who has a
sugar orchard ought to begin to make
plans early for utilizing his maple re-
sources to the utmost. A big per
cent of the sugar producing trees are
never tapped. With the price of
sweets of all kinds soaring maple sug-
ar III 1918 will be more of a luxury
than ever before. Produing sugar
will help toward the common cause
while at the same time giving the pro-
Queer ample return for his efforts ex-

LINCoLN'S WORDS APPLICABLE
TODAY.

1t was 81 years ago yesterday that
Abraham Lincoln delivered at the
dedication of the National cemetery
on the battlefield at Gettysburg what
has Gene to be recognized as the phi
losophy in brief of the whole civil war
struggle. The great president, as will
be remembered, began with these
words; "Fourscore and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth on this
continent new nation, conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the propose
ton that all men are created equal
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war, testing whether that nation or
any nation, so conceived and so dedi-
Gated, can long endure That which
was settled for this country in that
period is now challenged on the field OF
the world. Could there be a better
statement of what is involved in Ger
many's brutal challenge of democracy
than was embodied in the Gettysburg
speech? Lincoln's words serve to link
the present with the heroic past in a
way that is fairly startling in its apt
ness and significance. It is for us
again to highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain
that this nation, under God, shall have
a new birth of freedom-and that gov
eminent of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth. IS Springfield Republican,

cows PRIDE.

IT'S perfectly delightful" said Mrs.
Cow. Eyes, it is really very fine
Mrs. Cow was talking to Mrs. Black
and White Cow. To be sure they were
both COWS, but Mrs Cow was always
known by just her simple name and
Mrs. Black and White Cow was al
ways called Mrs. Black and White.
Mrs. Cow was brown with a few
white patches. She told someone
when she was little calf that she
had never had a whole brown dress
because her mother hadn't been able
10 afford to give her one. and she had
had to patch it up with white.
All the creatures of the barnyard
liked this story, and they also admired
Mrs. Cow for telling it. ITS so much
better Mrs. Duck had said, than to
boast as if you could have everything
under the sun. And our clothes aren't
SO important as our dispositions"
So now that Mrs. Cow had something
special to say, Mrs. Black and White
stopped chewing for a moment and
looked at Mrs. Cow.
II would love to hear it, said Mrs
Black and White. "What is so de-
ightful and fine? 1t won't excite me
to hear it, / trust, for / hate to be-
come excited"
ut certainly won't excite YOU" said
Mrs. Cow. "That is / am pretty sure
lit won't, for it didn't excite me. 1t
| Just made me very happy and
| pleased. / do not like to become ex-
cited any more than you do, my dear.
| | enjoy chewing and taking my time
over everything. I never look excited,

You always look rs if you were
calm. But then that is the way n
cow should be. We should never hur-
~. We are not meant TO for none of
our family have ever hurried We've
always enjoyed taking our time and
eating and munching Now and again
we look up at people as they pass by
out we look at everything calm.
THAT is so" said Mrs. Cow. But

Dit lazy"
ooh. don't say So" said Mrs. Black
and White. "LaZiness is the very Joy
Of my life. Never to move quickly
meyer to eat quickly. never to grow
excited-those are the joys of COW
ife.''
That's So" said Mrs Cow II really
meant that I sometimes think people
10 not appreciate cows enough. They
Ire so used to seeing us move so slow
Iy that they think we aren't worth
much. They rather like the creatures
