"PICKING STONE" IN VERMONT.
(By Daniel L. Cady.)


There's nothing quite so lorn and lone
| In rural life as picking stone;"
1t holds the record round the farm
For making farmer boys "disarm:''
It's sent more help off down below"
Than milking. chores or shoveling snow
It's made more hired men decamp
Than too much souse or too much samp
No sadder stunt was ever known
| Around the farm that picking stone"
Each year when we begun to cart
The grain. a sickness hit my heart;
knew that through them fields I'd 60
Again in bout a week or so:
/ therefore rubbered far and near
To see II "stone" were thick that year:
tried the stubble with my shoe
To see If 1t would puncture through
Oh! I can always spare moan
When I remember picking stone"
Anon. some hot September day.
When puppies felt too warm to play.
And geese was too het up to hiss.
I'd get directions bout like this
This afternoon l spect to tend
That auction down at Greensboro Bend
You best put on your old brogans
And after dinner lay your plans'
When I'm away with neighbor Sloan.
To try your hand at picking stone."
And SO tried-both hands tried,
Both feet and every part beside
paved and clawed and poked and kicked
And toed and heeled and purled and pick

Each hand bar, each foot skid

The puffballs filled my eyes with smoke,
My fingers bled my back was broke,

VERMONT GRANGE PATRIOTIC.


The copy Of an editorial entitled For
Vermont to Repudiate," printed by the
New Hampshire Patriot at Concord, has
been sent to this ONCE for consideration.
the Vermont Grange adopted paoihst reso-
lutions at = time when host Of people
were questioning the advisability Of war
on the part Of the United States. That can
hardly be called q crime since President
Wilson himself only a year ago was re-
elected largely on the slogan. HE kept
us out Of war"
When war became unavoidable, how
Sver. as a result of the insistent violation
Of our sovereign rights as a people by
the Kaiser and his minions. then all ver-
patriotism which has come down to US
from the fathers Of '76 and 81. AZ ver-
mont yields to no State in devotion to
flag and country. 50 the Vermont Grange
Is demonstrating its patriotism by thor
,ugh cooperation with the federal gov
srnment in the prosecution Of the war.
- This Is no time to split hairs over the
question whom any particular American
changed from pacihst to an advocate
and supporter Of war with Germany. pro-
vided all are pulling together in support
Of our flag and our brave soldiers in this
struggle.
We venture the assertion that no State
In the entire Union Is more solidly and pa
triotically supporting the Stars and Stripes
in this war than Vermont ana this is
also true of the Vermont Grange.
