Russians Back to Barter.

The lack OF money and the great
depreciation Of the Russian ruble have
compelled the soviet government to re-
sort to the primitive form Of trade
exchange Of goods. This form has
been applied in Russia in limited de-
gree, because Of lack Of manufactured
articles, the government giving the
peasants agricultural machinery,
leather goods. nails, matches and other
such neceSsaries and receiving the
equivalent value In grain. 1t is the in
tention Of the soviet department Of
food to introduce the exchange OF
goods system into international trade,
and for this purpose it sent a special
emissary to Norway 10 negotiate with

His Excuse.

One Camp Custer rookie claimed he
should have a deferred classification
and to substantiate his allegation re-
ferred to Deuteronomy 24-5:
"When a man hath taken new wife
he shall not go TO war, neither shall he
be charged with any business. but he
shall be free at home for one year and
shall cheer up his wife which he has
taken"
Well" said one OF the army clerks
after sizing up the bird making the
claim, 81 guess she would need cheer
ing up If she picked of that lemon"

Call for pity.

There are people who go about the
world looking out for sights; and they
are necessarily miserable, for they find
them at every turn, especially the i'm
aginary ones. One has the same pity
for such men as for the very poor.
They are the morally illiterate. They
have had no real education. for they
have never learned how to live.

The kaiser had little regard
for President Wilson from the
time the latter was elected for
the first time. "a real scoun-
dreI" was the way he character
lied the president on one occa-
sion. The kaiser admired Roose-
Welt very much, but was greatly
disappointed at the stand taken
by the former president after
the war started. What the Ecais-
or thought of Wilson, Roosevelt,
Henry Ford, and other Ameri-
cans is disclosed in the next in

SELLING WOOD BY THE CORP.

The regulation made by the Vermont
state commissioner of weights and meas
ures that firewood shall be sold here
after at the cord measurement or frac-
ton thereof, instead Of by the Toad,
indefinite as that may be, is likely TO
eliminate much Of the abuse Of a system
which has been haphazard for some time
There is no doubt that consumers have
been imposed upon in some instances
through the method of buying wood by
the load rather than by the cord or
some lesser measurement Of the cord
In fact, there is said to be indubitable
evidence that wood priced at $40 per cord
was really sold for SIT cord when de.
liyered by the load, so called, and in an
other case $40 cord wood was sold at a
rate of $40. Not all wood dealers are
dishonest and so constituted as to take
advantage of the unwary purchaser. The
honest sort will not have any cause for
worry about the new regulation, but the
dishonest, INSCRIPTIONS kind are likely
to receive sharp check in their prac,
tices and more serious consequences II
they persist in such practices, The PEG,
pie will welcome the ruling Of the Yer,
mont weights and measures department
that firewood is to be sold at the cord
measure, or fraction thereof

A REAL AMERICAN OFFENSIVE.

While some French contingents are en-
gagged in the struggle, it is certain that
the present drive in the st. Mihiel sector
of the Lorraine front is essentially Amer
lean. No doubt it was carried out under
the sanction, if not with the direction of
Field Marshal Foeh, for he has supreme
command of all the allied forces. No
doubt, too, there are some French guns
which are pounding away along with the
American, and some French airplanes
that are penetrating to the air back Of
the German lines and communicating the
results Of the. gunfire as well as the
movements of German infantry But
the bulk Of the fighting men, of the
equipment and of the munitions is Amer
lean. Never before has an American
force attempted an offensive on such a
large scale. Never has any American
force gone about a distinct engagement
so nearly independent of our allies al
that of the present.
What the results of the movement
may be it is as yet too early to state
But the first reports of the offensive
may be put down as encouraging botl
as TO the territory captured and the pris
oners taken. II is probable that The
great reserve strength Of the American

SOME Ode PRIMARY oUIRKs.

For exceptional partiality in its favors
the town of Ira in Rutland county takes
high place in the recent primary, the
voters having distributed their ballots
equally among the three Republican can
didates for governor-Clement IA, Oar
ling IA, Howe IA. Remarkable for its
great bias was the town of Lexington in
Essex county, the sum total Of three Re.
publican votes cast being DETECTED in the
direction Of Howe, Or perhaps the towns
of Somerset and Stratton in Windham
county ought to share the distinction
with Lexington in this respect, for each
cast six votes for a total and all six in
each case went to Howe. By the way,
Somerset was the first town reported
through the special wire of the Associat-
ed Press Tuesday evening, and when the
report was first contemplated it looked
like a veritabe landslide for Howe with
zero after the names of Clement and
Darling and six for Howe. Another of
the six-yote towns in the primary was
Glastonbury in Bennington county, and
there the diversity of public sentiment
had developed to such point that one
man went and cast his vote for Howe,
two did the same for Clement and three
did the handsome for Darling So you
see that taken all in all there were some
remarkable situations in some Of the
small republics in the old state of Yer
mont last Tuesday.

On Thursday Percival w Clements
Rutland Herald had the following;
"The primary on Tuesday has resulted
in victory for Percival w Clement
Rutland candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor.
"The result is close. It is mot so deep
as a well, nor so wide as a church door;
but tbs enough, twill serve.
1T is undoubtedly unfortunate that so
light vote was cast. Such a small
turnout is not such an expression as
any candidate would desire. In fact, il
is true beyond question that all three

nation and many of those for minor
offices worked diligently and faithfully
to get the reluctant voters to the polls.
yet the result, such as it is, is fairly
conclusive Vermont is accustomed to
abide by such results and will probably
do SO in this case.
Rutland City and Rutland county
should feel honored and complimented by
the quality of the endorsement given its
candidates
"The Herald believes that the voters
of the state, in fairly equal numbers, be-
lieved in the promises of business ad :
ministration made by Mr. Clement in his
public announcements and also in the
principle Of, self-goyernment which he
enunciated Through his opposition to the
Sheppard amendment.
"The condition of the states business
ought to give the Republican nominee for
governor, if duly elected, a splendid OPP
portunity for distinguished public serv-
ice, and evidently the people expect just
that of their nominee,

question becomes more and more Of a
dead issue as the powers of the president
and the food administrator are exercised

| ing the federal constitution, and the
progress of public sentiment toward that
end is apt to be marked in the weeks in
tervening before the election and the
convention Of the legislature.
"0n one public policy all public men
can unite, and that is on measures that
are calculated to remedy the evils now
known to exist in the present operation
of the states business.
"The Herald, on its part, would most
cordially invite all candidates for legisla-
tive office to consider carefully what Mr.
Clements plans for betterment may be
in case he is duly declared the choice Of
the people for the Office of governor"

COMMENT ON PRIMARY RESULT
By Two Newspapers Whose Owners
Were Candidates for Governor.

All three of the Republican candidates
for the nomination for governor of Yer
mont were owners or part owners of
newspapers, and the papers of two of
them have commented on the primary re-

from, ii appears almost certain that Hon

nomination for governor yesterday by

ingly close race among the three candi.
dates; and at the finish it was small
margin that separated them Rumors
had been flying around that none of
them would carry his own city, TO say
nothing of his own county; but the out
come along that line must have been
very satisfactory to them, as each car
ried his own city and county by a very
comfortable margin Judge Darling does
not yet concede his defeat, and more
definite returns from the towns missing
in the list are awaited, to be certain of
the outcome, There We're many surprises
in the vote, among them being the Glenn
ent strength in Windsor and Franklin
counties. The vote throughout the state
was very light, there being only about
$4,000 unspoiled ballots cast This small
ness Of the vote upset many calcula
tions. Well, the primary is over, and we
should all work together for the winning
Of the war and for the upbuilding of
