Lava 10 Slow 70 Cool.

Peasants on the slopes of Mount
Aetna cnn still boil water over the lava
that flowed from the volcano during
the eruption of 1910. Lava, according
to Walter Woodburn Hyde of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. writing in the
Geographical Review, often reaches a
temperature of 2,e00 degrees +.
Even ;he ancient poets recorded the
tenacity With which lava retains its
heat. ANA BoreIll, describing the great
eruption of 1869. says the lava took
eight years to cool 1t is related that
steam was still rising in 1880 from
lava elected in 1877, And this Is not
astonishing when we remember that
the stream of molten lava which
reached the sea at Catania OH that oc-
casion was at least 600 yards in
breadth. forty feet deep and contained
3,53o, oo0, 900 cubic feet. 1t banked up
against the walls OF Catania, which
were sixty feet high, until 1t flowed
over the top and destroyed large part
of the city. The huge promontory that
acts like breakwater to the harbor is
the remains Of that stream of lava that
flowed into the sea.

The shortage of food in the conn-
tries of the world has shown Won
derful thing and that is that the
death rate drops when people are on
short rations. Most everybody knows
| that they eat too much, but it took a
world war and the near approach of a
world famine to prove that sharp
reduction in the supply lengthens the
average of human life by marked
percentage. When Mark Twain was
young man he got job as a news
paper reporter and one of the first
articles he was called on to write
was the thrilling story of the escape
of a boatload of people from a burn
! ing ship in the Pacific ocean. When
the boat left the burning ship it had
food supply for twelve days. There
were several in the boat who were
sick and had to be carried on board.
The boat drifted and sailed 4S days
and at the end of that time was
picked up near the Hawaiian islands
For the last few days they had abso-
lutely nothing to eat, but they had
fresh water at all times because of
Frequent rain Every person on board
survived the experience without any
serious harm and those who were
sick when placed in the boat recov-
cred before the rescue. When We
conserve the food supply and limit
our gluttony we lengthen our lives
and add to our own prosperity and

A canvass made of three towns in
Orange county shows that the potato
acreage in the three towns is double
what it was last year and that the
number OF acres planted to beans is
four times what it was in 1916. 1t is
probable that this is not far from q
lfair average throughout the state, but
it by no means indicates all that Yer.
mont Is doing in growing food crops
for the reason that the canvass mere
" covered the farms and does not
take into consideration the large
paintings of potatoes and beans by
village and city people who have en-.
larged their gardens or are filling
hitherto unused fields in the vicinity
of their homes. Many farmers, too
while not planting any more potatoes
land beans than usual, have doubled or
trebled their acreage of corn and
grain crops. They have learned the
lesson the past year that they can
raise corn, barley, oats and wheat at
| less, cost than they have been able to
buy for two years past. IL the crops
turn out fairly we'll Vermont will be
able to feed itself the coming year
and have surplus TO sell and this is
something the state hasn't done for
1.-THE past forty years. The best thing
about the whole matter is that O good
many people will learn that it isn't Sc
hard to grow farm crops as they had
imagined. OF course there will be
imany failures, but they will be large
| ly due to lack of work at the proper
time and these cases will be offset
by others who will do far better than
| they had hoped The tendency OH
the whole, it would seem, must be a
movement toward the farm by the
partially skilled workers of the vii
lagos and cities who are not doing
very well where they are and wotild
have little to risk in making change.

Editing a Newspaper.

Editing a newspaper is apleas-
ing business-if you can stand it.
If subscribers want to bawl out
anybody the editors the goat.
If business is bad--it's because
the editor wants too much money
for his advertising space.
If business is good advertis.
ing hasn't anything to do with it,
but conditions are right.
If we print what pleases the
people-that is our duty and we
deserve no credit.
If we print what displeases =
we are a crouch, and a Grape
hanger, and don't deserve the
patronage of the public.
If we print the news as it il
actually-people call US over the
phone and tell US to stop theil
paper.
If we garble it they tell III
we are subsidized by the corpor
ate interests.

The Country Editor.

He might have been a millionaire,
And won financial fame,
Or sat in directors chair,
Had money been his aim;
He chose instead to spend his
years
In service poorly paid,
And with the paste pot and the
sheaps
A humble living made.
He chronicled the towns events =
The local goings-on;
His fellow townsmen's hopes and
bents
Inspired his lexicon.
He felt the public pulse that beat
Around him, and he tried
To make his little country sheet
A thing of local pride.
Unselfishly, with all his heart,
He strove but to upbuild
His town, of which he was a part,
With great ambition filled.
He spoke we'll of his fellow men;
He praised when praise was
due;
He welded but a kindly pen,
And-no reward he drew.

The mills of financial adver-

may grind slowly, but they also
grind exceedingly small, and
when finally they shall have
reached the conclusion that the
public is worthy of approach in
matters of financial moment the
country publisher will reap his
proper harvest. And it will be a
golden harvest. No clearer.
writing has been seen on the
wall than that just written by
Francis H. Sisson of the Guaranty
Trust company of New York for
the benefit of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World.
He calls for the big interests to
engage in paid advertising in
newspapers. He points out con-
crete instances of what advertis-
ing has done in matters of fl
aimee. He points out the time
is at hand for financial interests
to realize the true situation in
this country and to meet it by
paid publicity, the greatest force
he knows of. The interests may
be slow to acknowledge the force
of this argument, but it must be
admitted sooner or later. 1t
must be admitted because it is
true. 1t is true that whenever a
great popular subscription is to
be raised the only place it can be
effected is in the country. 1t is
true that the stability of the
country would be much enhanced
by greater bondholding class
among our ordinary citizens, whC
today know little of finance. Il
is true that in this country there
are fewer holders of government
securities than in any country il
the world. And it is true tina
the only cure for all this is pal,
advertising in the newspapers =
and in country newspapers
