HOW TO MARKET WOOL

One Of the prominent wool growers says
that considerable difficulty is experienced
IL disposing of wool in this region. and he
asks what agency can aid in solving the
problem. We invite the attention Of Com
missioner Of Agriculture e. S. Brigham to
this question as he Is devoting attention
to the promotion Of better markets for
Vermont We hope he will take all the
space necessary to answer this question
through our columns. In view Of the
great demand for wool at this particular
time there can be no trouble in disposine
OF that commodity. IL the proper agency
is interested. There was a time when thu
country merchant handled all sorts Of
farm produce, but in this age Of increas
ing specialization, it is every man to his
own line as we'll as his own trade.

STUFF OF WHICH HEROES ARE
MADE

We are ali naturally proud Of the way
in which the United States marines and
other American forces have covered
themselves with glory on the western
front We think of our soldier boys AZ a
body in that connection. When we stop
to analyze the situation. however. we
realize that these grand results were made
possible because each individual Amer
lean was Jealous in doing his part. An
illustration OF what one soldier can do 10
afforded by the case Of an American hero
at the battle in xivray. In the story Of
what the whole command did this individ-
ual instance stands out clear cut like q
cameo:
The Germans captured an American
soldier but he did not remain a prisoner
very long. At the edge of the village
three Germans came upon a wounded
American. He was placed under guard Of
German private and started for the
enemy line. Reaching a point near the
enemy wire entanglements, the American
suddenly drew a revolver and forced his
surprised custodian to march back across
No Mans Land into the American lines
After turning his prisoner over to fellow
soldiers. the wounded man fell uncon-
scious from loss of blood.
We regret that the name Of this young
American hero is not given by the Associ-
ated Press. His name should be recorded
high on the roll Of fame In connection with
our military operations against the Ger.
mans.

natter what may appear to be the situa.

matter what may appear TO De the S1tuA-
ton at this time new candidates may APP
pear that will appeal to the. voters to q
greater degree than those now being con-
sidered. Taking into account announced
candidates., the retirement Of Secretary
Of State Frederick q. Fleetwood of Nor
risville and Attorney General Herbert O..
Barber Of Brattleboro and the way In
which various names are being consid-
cred by both newspapers and voters indi-
vidualiy, II the State republican ticket
were to be named at the present time. It
would probably run about as follows: \
For govsrnor-The Hon. Charles n.
Darling Of Burlington.
For lieutenant sovernor-Former State
Superintendent Of Education Mason s.
Stone Of Montpelier or former Senator
Frederick H. Rabbit Of Bellows Falls.
For secretary of state-CleRk Of the
House Harry A. Black Of Newport.
For State treasurer-Ths Hon. Walter
F. Scott Of Brandon.
For auditor of accounts-Ths Hon. Ben
jamin Gates Of Montpelier.
For attorney -general-rhe Hon. Frank
c. Archibald Of Manchester.
Rumor has II that former Lieutenant
Governor Frank e. Howe Of Bennington
may be . candidate for the governorship
under certain circumstances. but his can
didacy has not yet been announced. The
Mortified News hears that State Pur-
chasing Agent Dewey T. Hanley Of Essex
may contest the denomination Of Estate
Auditor Gates, though no such move has
been formally announced. II the candi-
dacy Of any other man for State ONCE
has been announced We do not mention
the fact simply because we have not OBJ
served It, and not because of any lack of
desire on our part to do full political Jus
tice to all concerned. That is the way
the situation looks now. 1t Is to be borne
in mind, Of course. that the situation may
be entirely changed before the results OF
the primaries are announced. This will
surely be the case, II the voters think OF
any man they prefer to those now promi-
nent in connection with any or all Of the
offices named.
| At this time there is not even mention
Of any aspirant for Congress to succeed
| either the Hon. Frank L. Greene Of st
Adams, representative Of the first dis
trict, or the Hon. Porter H. Dale Of Island
Pond. representative Of the second dis
trict. Under the circumstances 1t 10 safe
to say no candidate would have time tc
work up a canvass to overthrow our rep
| resentatives even II there were an,
chance Of accomplishing such a result
in view of the great work they have beer
doing in support Of the United states IL
the war against Germany and in othel
fields Of legislation.
Under all the circumstances We do no
