PUT HIM In AGAIN

The Palatka News expresses itself
as being pleased to note the trend Of
sentiment throughout the State as re
flected in the newspapers, is strongly
in favor of returning Hon. Duncan L..
Fletcher to the United States Senate.
II one but stops and considers the
ability Of Senator Fletcher, and takes
into consideration the great measures
he has succeeded in bringing about,
for the benefit of the people, few
would consider supporting an oppo-
nent.
Continuing the News says editori-
ally:
This sentiment has been called to
the surface because of feelers sent out
by possible opponents. 1t ought to be
generally known-probably is by the
better-informed citizens Of the State
that Senator Fletcher is one of the
really big men in the United States
Senate, that he stands close to the
President and has been one of the
staunchest supporters of the admins
tration in the conduct of the war
Like all men of real value in admins,
tration circles, his services should be
continued not only through the war,
hut for the few years Immediately fol-
lowing, in order that we may have
the benefit of his experience in again
placing the country on smooth-run-
ming peace footing Florida should
wake up and start this Fletcher cam
paign now and in such a way as TO
put damper upon the cheap politi-
clans whose only purpose in opposing
Senator Fletcher is self aggrandise-
ment. Orlando Reporter-Star.

The editor of the Carabelle Citizen
has grievance and he appeals to
the town council to enact a law COM
polling washerwomen to bring home
the clothes promptly, From the ten
or of the complaint it is evident that
the editors other shirt is in the ten
der hands of some husky colored
woman, and he wants it back, right
away. 1t is too bad, but the trouble
is not confined to Carrabelle-in fact
there are understood to be "trihing"
washerwomen in various parts Of the
State and elsewhere. An ordinance
might be useful, and couldn't do much
harm, SO we hope he may prevail upon
the town authorities-an get his
washing back -Times-Union.

County Agent Johnson of Newport
has some farmers account books
which are issued by the agricultural
extension service of the college of
agriculture of the University of Yer
! mont and the colleges of agriculture
of the other New England states and
the Boston Chamber of Commerce
which are said to be simple, but
complete and may be had at a very
nominal cost. Get in touch with Mr..
johnson about one Of these books and
keep an account of your 1918 farm
+! business as you should. The income
tax law makes such bookkeeping
more essential than ever.
About half of the book is given
over to farm receipts and expenses.
This part is so arranged that totals
can be found of milk receipts, crop
sales, labor bills, feed bills. etc, with
! out going through the entire book to
sort them out. Pages are provided
for itemized inventories of stock,
tools, feed and supplies on hand. To
simplify the taking of the inventory
rules are given for measuring grain
in the bin, corn in the crib, hay in the
NOW and stack. Tables are also Civ
en- for figuring the capacities of
round and rectangular silos and the
approximate weight of silage re-
naming in the silo in the spring.
One of the most important pages is
that on which the record of the years
business may be summarized to see
! how much the farmer has received
for his years work on the farm. The
last few pages are intended for keep
ing separate accounts of poultry
hogs, potatoes, or any single enter
prise

LINCOLN
BY JOHN VANCE CHENEY. in Chicago

By JOHN VANCE CHENEY. in Chicago
Interior
The hour wes on us. Where the
man?
The fateful sands unfaltering ran,
And up the way Of tears
He came into the years,
Our pastoral captain. Forth he
came,
As one that answers to his name,
Nor dreamed how high his charge,
His work how fair and large,
TO set the stones back in the wall,
Lest the divided house should fall
And peace from men depart,
Hope and the childlike heart.
We looked on him. "'Tis he," we
said,
"Come crownless and unheralded,
The shepherd who will keep
The focks, will fold the sheep"
Unknightly, yes, yet twas the mien
Presaging the immortal scene,
Some battle of His wars
Who sealeth up the stars.
Not he would take the past between
His hands, wipe Valor's tablets
clean,
Commanding greatness wait
Till he stand at the gate;
Not he would cramp to one small
head
The awful laurels of the dead,
Times mighty vintage cup,
And drink all honor up.
No futter Ct the banners bold
Borne by the lusty sons of old,
The naughty conquerors
Set forward to their wars.
Not his their blare, their pageantries,
Their goal; their glory was not his.
Humbly he came to keep
The focks, to aid the sheep.
The nsed comes not without the
man
The PRESIDENT hours unceasing ran,
And up the way of tears
He came into the years,
Our pastoral captain, skilled to
crook
The spear into the pruning hook,
The simple, kindly man,
Lincoln, American.

VermOnt's Good Showing.

According to figures which have
been given out by Provost Marshal
General Crowder, showing the COM
parison of state statistics in response
to registrants, there were 295 per-
sons in Vermont who did not appear
for examination during the first ap-
plication of the draft. This is the
lowest number of any of the New En-
gland states. Massachusetts, is the
highest with 9,763. Rhode Island
was nearest to Vermont, for 545 in
that state failed to appear for exam
nation.
Vermont had one county, Windham,
in which the quota was filled by vol
untary enlistments. Maine had eight
OF these, While Massachusetts DID not
have a single one. The same is true
of New Hampshire. Grand Isle and
Orleans counties, Vermont, enjoy
prominence not held by any county in
Isle and Orleans counties, only one
man failed to appear. Washington
county did almost as well with three
failing to appear, two of whom have
since been located and will probably
in the due course of time serve in the
army. Lamoille ranks next to Wash
ington, with four absentees. The
rest were: Chittenden 7, Caledonia
and Franklin each, Addison 9, Or
ange 10, The next one is some jump
to ESSEX, where 40 failed to appear,
while Bennington lost Al and Rutland
As. Windsor had 100.
Instead of the $4,000 asked for in
Vermont for the K. of G. war work,
our state gave $4,000. Rutland city
gave over $1,000 and Burlington
over $4,000.

Waste Of Energy.

Much "talk" in the rearing and train
ing Of children, could be eliminated
with great benefit to both child and
parent. One sees and feels constantly
the inconsistency Of dissertations Gas
to manners and mOtiyeS) to children
from parents who are themselves sig
nal failures as far as the effective
ness and efficiency of their own lives
are concerned, observes the New York
Evening Telegram. We must curb the
don't and the "do'' to our children
and also to our associates until our
own manner of conversation is more
indicative of real thought than the av-
erage chatter and talk Of women would
sometimes signify.

A glimpse at the record breaking
list of exhibitors who are to display
their cars or accessories at the Boston
Auto Show, March 2 to 9, indicates
that the motor car industry expects a
big selling season when spring ar
rives. 1t is four months since Ches-
ter [. Campbell, manager of the show
contracted for the last available foot
of space in Mechanics Building and
Horticultural hall, yet hundreds of
manufacturers and dealers are still
clamoring for space to exhibit. This
is rather an extraordinary state of
affairs in view of war times and if it
is to be taken as barometer of future
business it certainly foreshadows
great prosperity in the industry.

The low price Of cows this spring
reflects the serious shortage of farm
labor, which seems to this paper to be
one Of the most serious problems now
facing the nation. What relief fed
eral labor experts can bring is prob
lematical. CONSUMPTION Of labor from
non essential industries for the farm
is g doubtful solution and is answered
by the remark of the farmer who
said, Il don't want to furnish cows
for fellow TO milk who is sent me
from the factory, against his will
Government control Of farm labor is
practically impossible because of the
scattered and isolated conditions on
the farm. All kinds of large agri-
cultural production are imperative but
cannot be accomplished without more
labor. 1t would seem that if any class
of men are to be exempt and kept on
the farms it is our young men who
are actually producing, or materially
helping to produce, agricultural
crops. In this section of Vermont

With the enforced frightening of
the school vacation at the holidays
and the further enforced vacation in
some schools because of the lack of
fuel there is real concern as to how
students can complete the prescribed
school work and get out onto the
farms early in order to assist in the
great food producing plans. The
fact is, our war living program has
not yet smoothel i self out. One of
two things mus L, 'ze place in this
case: school worl- cannot be complet-
ed or farm work must be forgotten.
Which is most essential in 1918 must
be matter for parents, students and
school officials to settle without pre-

The Farm Labor Needs.


ing discouraged because of the poor
outlook for labor. Many a farmer is
hesitating before putting in large
crops, because, he argues, and right
ly, that nothing is to be gained and
much is to be lost by planting a crop
which, if it fructifes, cannot be har-
vested.
The proper agency of state govern
ment should be giving this matter Sc
rious attention right now. A year
ago there was excuse for not having
the labor at hand, because time be-
tween the declaration of war and the
beginning of operations on the soil
was not sufficient to make good in adj
equate degree the deficiencies in la
Dor.
It is different this year, however
There has been ample time in which
to formulate a policy and to work it
out. There can be no excuse for let
ting the matter drift to the last mo-
ment, and then, with a great show of
activity, realize results that will fall
far short of being adequate. The
farmer wants to know what his pros
poets for securing labor will be. He
must know this in order to do any
real planning. He will not take all the
risk himself, and one could hardly ex-
pect him to do so. The farmer can
not do his full share unless the gov
ernment does it's share by getting af-
ter the labor problem with energy
and dispatch.-St. Adams Messen-
ger.

Hardness on Great Mission.

One of the surprising things about
this life is the unexpected way IN
which the talents we possess or the
skill and knowledge we may acquire
are put to use. How often it is the
thing farthest from our thought with
which we are really fitting ourself to
cope, and how true is the old maxim,
"Get thy spindle and distaff ready
and God will send thee flax" Love Of
science and the natural bent of me-
chanical genius led Hon. James Hart
ness to study aviation and for months
in the summer of 1916 to devote a
large part of his time to receiving
practical training in the school on
Log Island. At length he made sue
cessfully the requisite number Of
flights and became a licensed pilot OF
air craft. Today he goes on board a
vessel in the New York harbor to
sail at some unfxed date for Europe
as one Of 20 men composing the
United States and Canadian Airship

greatest Importance to the United
States and it's allies in their prosecu-
ton of the war.-Springfeld Repor-
