Summer Boarders.

Summer bOarders are people who
spend several weeks in the country
each summer longing for IA trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make comical remarks TO the farm-
err Aside from the beard they pay
him the farmer cleans up tidy sum
each summer by sending the things his
boarders say TO the comic weeslies. A
summer boardcr can merely look at a
COW and quick as a wink he will say
something funny The farmer puts
this down in Il book he always car
ries around with him. In the course
Of Il couple Of weeks he has several
pages of good jokes to sell at his own
rates. If YOU board with farmer any
summer say some funny things TO him
about the cows or the pigs. IL he
keeps n horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will go In
and open UP can Of fresh country
peas cut OF his own cellar so that when
you go back to the city you win miss
the country vegetables. When YOU
leave be sure and tell him how YOU
enjoyed the country eating SO that he

Apologies are due to the state of
Vermont, and no doubt the whole
country will be glad to make them
Although the state has been low in
its rate of enlistment in the regular
army under the late call, it is not for
the reason that Vermonters are
averse to military service, but be-
cause they are represented so largely
In this service already. In an Off
cial statement showing the proper
ton of men to population now serv-
ing in the military establishment,
Vermont appears as seventh in the
list of states The order is as fol
lows Hawaii. Oregon, District of
Columbia, Montana, Maine, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Wyoming
and Normont-nine altogether, and
two of them not states. Nermont's
proportional representation in the
army is greater than that of Massa-
chusetts or New York And even at
this, Vermonts representation in the
navy, which is large, is not gNen.

Messenger states is true: Vermont

WITchlN6 FOR WATER.
An Ancient Superstition Described In
Government Report.

The idea that a forked twig, or so
called diyining rod, is useful in locat-
ing minerals, finding hidden treasure,
or detecting criminals is a curious SUI
perstition that has been a subject of
discussion since the middle OF the six
Ieenth century and still has a strong
hold on the popular mind, even in this
country. This is evident from the
large number OF inquiries received
each year by the United States Geo
logical Survey, Department of the In.
terror, as to the efficiency of such
twig, especially for locating under
ground water. To furnish reply to
these inquiries the Geological Survey
has published brief paper, by Arthur
J Ellis, on the history of water witch
ing, with a photography that includes
a truly astonishing number of books
and pamphlets on this uncanny sub
ject
In summary the paper states: 1t
is doubtful whether so much investi-
cation and discussion have been be-
slowed on any other subject with such
absolute lack of positive results. 1t
is difficult to see how for practical
purposes the entire matter could be
more thoroughly discredited. It is by
no means true that all persons using
forked twig or some other device
for locating water or other minerals
are intentional deceivers. Some of
them are doubtless men Of good char
acter and benevolent intentions. How
ever, as anything that can be deeply
velled in mystery affords a good op-
pOrtunity for swindlers, there can be
no reasonable doubt that many of the
large group Of professional finders of
water, oil, or other minerals who take
pay for their services" or for the sale
of their instruments" are deliberately
defrauding the people and that the
total amount of money they obtain is
large. To all inquiries the United
States Geological Survey therefore
gives the advice not to expend any
money for the services of any water
witch" or for the use or purchase of
any machine or instrument devised
for locating underground water or
other minerals.

WHO GETS THE DIFFERENCE?

Some time last winter a New Eng
land grocer who had bought barrel
of apples for $3.50, found in the bar
rel a note from the farmer in whose
orchard the fruit had been grown, say
ing: 81 got $3.50 for this barrel of ap-
pies. How much did you pay for it?"
| don't know whether the grocer re-
piled to the famrer or not, but at any
rate here is clear evidence that the
distributor, whom | shall call the legit-
innate middleman, paid more than
twice as much as the farmer received
for this product, and OF course the
consumer paid even more, for the gro
Ger was in business for his living and
was desirous of making his profit.
"As a rule several middlemen and
sometimes several series of middlemen
stand between the farmer and the ulti-
mate consumer. Because of this sys
TEN, which has grown up through the
fault of nobody in particular, the far
mer very often has a feeling of righ-
teous indignation when the consumer
jumps on him for riding around in
automobiles and not producing enough
food for the country. But the con.
suner is far from being correct in his
supposition that the farmer is the one
who is making an unjust profit. There
are cases on record like the one
have just mentioned in which it is
perfectly true that the more the far
mer produces the less proportionavsly
he gets in return.
THE great problem In agriculture
today is not more production hut bet
ter production which shall be profit.
able to the farmer. There is no reason
in the world why agricultural produc-
tion should not be so adjusted and
regulated that the farmer will receive
fair profit for his crops, and that
the consumer will be able to buy them
at fair price. Somewhere along the
line between the man who grew the
barrel of apples and received $3.50 for
them and the grocer who paid $3.50
for them, there was one or more peo.
pie who got more than they should
get for the legitimate business of
transportation and wholesaling.
"lf all farmers who grew apples, po
tatoes, onions, turkeys, Strawberries
or other crops which go directly in
boxes from farm to store would follow
the practice Of the New England or
chardist, we would be in the way Of
securing some extremely valuable in.
formation which would throw light on
one Of the most vital questions in ag.
riculture today.
