FRANK TABERSKI STARTED
 CAREER AS MILKMAN
Worlds Pocket Billiard Champion
 Started Business in Rochester.
Amy milk today, madam 9

Any milk today, madam ?'
 If Frank Taberski had a dollar for every time he has asked the question he would be a millionaire, but money doesn't come that easy.
 Taberski is now the worlds pock- ct billiard champion, but he used to be a milkman in Rochester, and lat CT he went into the grocery business with brother. Frank had to have his three squares just the same as any one else, and that's why he was once a milkman and later a grocery clerk.
 Like a good many young fellows Taberski learned to love pool at a tender age. Many a spare dime went to the poolroom keepers of Rochester while Tab" was clerking, and after a couple of years he became known as shark" around his home town, where he started playing sixteen years ago.
 Several years ago Taberski conceiv- ed the idea that he could win the pocket billiard championship if he kept on playing. He saw some of the coun- try's best players in action and studi- ed them. He kept at constant practice until he felt ready to challenge the world, and. it is history how he went through the countrys best players.
 Tab" is constantly practising new shots He says there is no end to shots and combinations that can be made on a pocket billiard table, and he keeps on plugging to find new ones. The shots that the average man calls impossible are the ones that Tab" tries to master, and he has mastered many of them.
 Taberski doesn't drink nor smoke. Like Willie Hoppe. he is stickler for good habits and keeps in the best of condition. He is the Hoppe of the pocket billiardists.

The Legislature, in its wisdom, has
declared against the practice OF main

Why Not a Hold-over2

General Apathy continues to lead the
political forces of Vermont, despite the
efforts of office seekers who have tried
time after time TO displace him since the
campaign opened. The people appear to
be perfectly satisfied with the leadership,
and as long as they continue in that
frame of mind il is effort wasted to try
and change them Were it not for the
ambition of certain few, who see in the
present state of affairs the opportunity
of their lives to gum shoe their way into
coveted positions, the solution of the
| problem could easily be found this year
! by letting the election go by default,
permitting those now in office to hold
over until another biennial period. This
would save the state whole lot and en-
able number of people, those active in
/ politics, to devote their time TO the culti-
walton of corn, spuds and beans, the farm
products that are going to help win the
war.
1t is the opinion of The Era, and in
this it is not alone among the press of
Vermont, that its war governor, Horace
+. Graham, should be drafted if there is
no other equally good method Of secur
ing him, to hold over during the continu-
ance Of the war, the idea being to keep
in Office the man conversant with the
needs of the government and the state
in this time Of strife. At no time have
we seen it definitely stated that Gov.
Graham would decline to serve second
term, and being patriot in every sense
of the word, probably nothing is further
from his thought than that, provided the
people made it manifest that they want
ed him, to continue in office until such
time as the necessity for his remaining
at the head of Vermont affairs no longer
exists. Vermont has its precedent for
this in the reelection to Office during the
Civil war of Gov. Frederick Holbrook, the
war governor" Of Brattleboro. This may
not suit some of the boys, DESTROYS of
climbing the ladder of fame, but there
are other large opportunities open to the
boys this year in war activities, for
which they viii not have to go far afeld.
Let us then 60 on about our business.
Let Gen. Apathy continue in the field.
Let us have hold-over in Vermont. Let
those who have served continue to serve.
State affairs have never been better ad-
ministered than they have in this period
of war. Why then disrupt existing con
ditions just to crafty personal amhi
tions, to foster selfish desires, to further
the worship of the great | AMi-Fair
Haven Era.

The Americans, Third Trial.

The correspondent who reports that
the fighting of the Americans at the
Marne was the most dramatic episode OF
the war since the taxicab army saved
Paris may be drawing the bow bit
far in his exultation, yet the general
tone of the news about our men abroad
is indeed inspiring. Strip il down to
the bone of official fact and 1t still re-
mains great news. The Yankees have
been tried at Seicheprey, at Campaign,
and now at Neuilly wood, and each time
the result is better.
Hardly any one has the sublime faith
of Miss Edna Ferber's hero, who in
sisted that he could whip six of them
beerheads' yet it is becoming evident,
even to the coolest observer, that man
for man the American troops are better
fighting men than the Germans. While
this might not be apparent in great bat
Tie movements, it seems to be true be-
yond question in the open infantry fight
ing and the skirmishes. Our men have
been used in both of these and their per.
formances have left no doubt.
At the beginning of the war green
troops were the bugaboo of the mill
tary men. Kitchener wanted six months
Of intensive training for his recruits be-
fore he felt that they could be shot over
without loss of morale, not to say panic.
How is 1t now? British soldiers, fresh
" drafted, were pitted against the shock
troops of the enemy in the terrific battle
west Of Rheims the other day, and al
though the odds against the new men
were overwhelming they fought unfinch-
ingly not merely to the last shot from
the field guns, but to the last bullet
from their revolvers.
1t has been the same with the Ameri-
cans. They not only faced the shower
from the Germans machine guns, but
destroyed the machine gun position. 1t
was with the bayonet that they drove
the Germans from Neuilly wood Wheth-
er alone or side by side with the French,
Pershing's men showed the magnificent
spirit. "They dig. in with one hand,
fight with the other and smile at the
same time" 1t was they who drove
the Hun back across the Marine.
The discipline, the years of slavish
training, were an advantage to the Ger
man troops at the beginning of the war.
But now the German is tired. Any army
is tired after four years of it. Men
who have fought mechanically, and later
hopelessly, all this time are not indi-
vidually the match Of these Americans,
flung fresh into the battle, full Of youth,
strength, spirit and the knowledge of
right and the consciousness Of victory.
1t is no wonder that in France two
rainbOWa shine ahOya tho NOW haiti P-
field of the Marine One is confidence
in Foch, the other is the American army
The rainbows join, for Foch's hope Is

Wheat and Rye Conference.

Plans for carrying out the wheat and
rye planting program of the United
States department Of agriculture for
l9lS-l9 in the central west were consid-
cred at a conference of officials of the
department and state representatives,
held in Chicago July rs and 26. State
agricultural college extension directors
and wheat specialists from 10 states
were present. These states-Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan-have been asked by the de-
partment to plant little more than
q 100000 acres of winter wheat or prac-
tieally three-ffths of the acreage sug.
gested as a minimum for the entire Unit.
ed States. Every state representative at
the conference felt confident that the
minimum acreage allotment for his state
could and would be planted, and that IL
conditions continued favorable the maxi
mum acreage suggested by the depart
ment might be reached.
Only five more days to pay your taxes.
