result a real democracy in the United

pack tightly into jars. Add one level
teaspoon Of salt to each quart jar and

place jars on rack ia boiler. having
them covered two inches with water.
Pat ON boiler cover and cook for 90
minutes after the water begins to boil
Then remove Jars and snap down
lower wire, or screw top on tight The
Temperature Of the water, when the
Jars are placed iii it. should be nearly
the same as that Of the jars. in
which ease there is no danger of
breakage.

And your green fern dresses seem
even lovelier this year than ever"
/ "Ah," said the Ferns, THE snow was
kinder than ever this year TO us-that

Teach Agriculture Correctly.
{ Burlington Free Press. J

Schools of agriculture are intended
teach young men and young women
improved methods of tilling the soil
nd making dairy products and grow
n9 fruit and breeding livestock. Yer
mont IN conjunction with the federal
government has spent many Thousands
OF dollars for the purpose Of securing
these results. When school of agri-
culture fails to carry out this funda-
mental idea, it not only fails of its
purpose but it also works positive in

incorrect ideas among the young pco

were the assistant walters.
Whenever Il frog saw that guests
plate was empty, he hoped across the

nicer for the frogs TO hop and jump

The Bennington Banner hears that
some of the friends Of Hon. Charles H.
Darling are making q quiet canvass of
the state to see if they cannot develop
% demand for him for the GOV
cmorship next year. The Banner ex-
presses the opinion that There are
also a good many people who think that
Governor Graham ought to be re
elected, particularly because Of the con
ditions brought by the war" The an
nouncement, considering its source, is
of interest in view Of the fact that the
editor Of the Banner, ex-Lieut. GOV.
Frank f. Howe, has been looked upon
as receptive candidate, at least, for
the govenorship. The suggestion in re
gard 10 Gov. Graham is certainly worth
considering at this time. If the west
side is to furnish the next governor Mr..
Howe would be a far stronger candi-
date than Judge Darling. Howe is close
to the people, is known and respected

looked upon as one Of the "Old
Guard = and personally gives the i'm
preston of the trapped makeup.

Even under the best of management
some crops viii necessarily fail. But no
acre should Doe allowed to remain idle
this summer where it is possible to grow
either food or feed. Where it is not
too late, corn viii probably prove
the most profitable crop to grow
on land where wheat has winter killed.
Beans may be planted as late as June
II and still reach maturity before frost.
Beans are suited to most any land that
will grow corn or wheat aud at present
prices make a very attractive crop to
produce. Buckwhcat is also a crop well
suited to late planting. II will frequent

grains. It responds well, however, to
moderate fertilization. All late planted
crops should be wen fortified So as to

WALTON Be TRIED
IN PEN sAC0LA SOON

Given the choice of being tried
for impersonating federal officer
in either of the federal courts at
Pensacola or Mobile, John Walton,
selected the former place, according
to the Mobile Register. and will be
brought here for trial.
Following is the account appearing
in the Register yesterday:
Electing to be tried in Pensacola,
John Walton, paralytic, arrested
in Mobile few days ago by police
men and later turned over to the
federal authorities, will be taken to
Pensacola today by Deputy United
States Horton. Walton will answer
charge of impersonating federal
officer. Walton. speaking with
United States Commissioner JNe
Austill, claimed that while in Pensa-
cola, he visited a man named Tom
Mcintyre, then in Jail, also a Grip
pie, who sold pencils on the streets
of that city and who alleged he was
looking for slackers. He. said his
visit to the prisoner was for humans
purposes and his arrest was the re-
suit. He said he preferred being
tried in Pensacola.

morning while speeding to work

Dora Dale in the Sunshine Girl" at
the same theater, makes her initial
screen appearance under Mutual aus
pices as Alice Avery in "The Runa-

duction at the Bonita today.
There is a splendid cast including
performers as we'll known as Ada
St: Clair, Dore Plowden. Jennie
Ellison, Norman Trevor, Red Nc
Dougall and Edward Fielding.
Alice is a delightful little girl. the
daughter of an artistic father and
mother. Orphaned she becomes the
Ward of Puritanical aunt and uncle.
When Danforth, the singer, comes to
Alice's world she falls in love with
him and he with her.

The strangest of strange stories is
told in "The Page Mystery" the
startling new World-Picture, Badly
Made which comes to the Isis theater
tomorrow with Carlyle Blackwell as
the star and with June Elvidge and
Arthur Ashley seen with him in pow
erful roles. A great many of the
scenes were filmed in the Adiron-
dacks, where the company went es-
pecially for the purpose and these
scenes are remarkable for their
great beauty. One of the elaborate
summer camps which are a feature
of the mountains was used as the
background for some of the scenes
and an exceedingly long toboggan
slide down which the members of the
company coast, is another fascinat-
ing sight. The story itself is a
splendid mystery tale, logically and
climax that is utterly different from
the expected. See this feature pic
ture by all means.
''The Honor System" Coming.
"The Honor System" a powerful
human interest drama, will be pre-

Sunday and Monday. The staging of
this spectacular play in Arizona and
California caused sensation in the
far West.
The resources of the State and the
wealth of one of the largest film cor
porations were taxed to produce a
work the direct appeal of which is to
the hearts of the people. This is be-
cause "The Honor System" deals
with the here and now of one of the
worlds most perplexing questions. It
shows the individual in tragic bat
tie against the forces of society.
Since "Way Down East" and "'The
Old Homestead" on the legitimate
stage nothing else has been produced
OF such vital dramatic fiber.
The big ten-reeler will be shown
here with all the effects and the
special music of the New York pro-
duction.
