Band concert on Saturday evening.
Your correspondent was out of town
! the first three days of the week on a
trip to West Chazy, N. Y, to which place
he, accompanied by his wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Frank B. Lougee of that town,
motored via Essex Junction, the Sand
Bar bridge and the Island, last Monday.
The return was made on Wednesday via
Plattsburg and the new ferry boat from
that city to Gordon's landing on the is
land of South Hero. One of the notice
able features of the trip was the con-
dition of the crops in and around West
Chazy. A part of this locality was not
visited by the disastrous frost of May
20 and corn, potatoes and all sorts of
garden crops are much more forward
than here. The part Of the trip through
the islands of Grand Isle county was
made especially enjoyable by the good
roads in that section, as we'll as the
ever-changing views Of the lake AID the
islands and mountains in the back
ground. A number of hourishing fields
of alfalfa were passed and the orchards
showed plainly the effects of the severe
cold of last winter. 1t may be worthy
of note that the Sand Bar bridge, so
called, is in reality not bridge at all,
except at one point, where it rises sharp
ly on each side of draw for the accom-
mediation of boats. Sand Bar bridge is q
narrow road built on sand bar between
the town of Milton and the island of
South Hero, protected somewhat from
the waves of the lake by numerous rocks
evidently placed there for the purpose.
In some seasons of the year, it is i'm
passable for days and even weeks at a
time. Pleasant memories of the trip
we're calls made on Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
Dragon, former residents of this town
and now living on farm of about $50
acres near the village Of Scotia in the
township of Mooers, N. Y, and on Mr..
and Mrs. William Carnes and Mrs. Hi
ram Davenport, all well known in this
vicinity.

Orange Southwest District Notes.

The superintendent has received let
ter from the L. S. school garden director
asking the Green Mountain Guards to
write the soldiers. Letters mean good
deal to soldier, whether he be in this
country or in France. Every school dis
trict is represented by one or more sol
diers and it is suggested that the pupils
write to the soldiers from their locality
and enclose clippings from the newspa-
pers and send the Herald and News.
At recent meeting of the women's
committee in charge of the inspections
of the school garden work in the village
it was decided to award prizes for the
best gardens. There will be four classes
of pupils; boys over 10 years of age,
boys 10 years and under, and the same
two classes for girls. Mention is to be
made where a pupil has shown unusual
ability There viii be four prizes in
each class, first, second, third and fourth.
The prizes will consist of thrift stamps.
1t is likely that the same classification
will be adopted in the rural schools. All
Of the village gardens have been inspect
ed and most of the rural gardens.
The schools of this district have been
doing more than their share OF war work.
The latest report on war work shows
that the schools went over the top as
usual. The county agent has given the
superintendent report showing the seed
testing work done by the schools of the
state. The town schools tested over 80
per cent Of the seeds tested in the schools
of the county or 227 per cent above the
county quota and the schools tested 10
per cent of the total tested in the state,
or Isl per cent above the state quota.
it is very evident that the seed testing
work brought results. The superintend-
ent recently spent two weeks interview
ing $50 farmers in different sections of
the county and when poor stand of
corn was seen the question was asked,
Ibid you test your seed corn?" In every
case the reply was No"

stroy the Germans country or TO over
throw their institutions, and that the
one thing which they do wish to de-
stroy, to break and burn in the fur
mace" Is the purpose Of brute force
which the German government is trying
to put over upon the world. And the one
thing which Lord Landsdowne persis-
tently, stupidity and most unpatriotical-
ly ignores is the need and will of the
allied peoples themselves. Have they
nothing to say in the matter2 Have
they no instinct of self protection and
self vindication which Is entitled to re-
spectf Have they never expressed them
selves at all? Lord Landsdowne pirates
on about ministers and governments, and
wants discussion opened" among
chancellors, prime ministers and foreign
secretaries (which may lead to peace"

peoples, know what they are about 1t
Is they, in reality, that see clearest;
they are perfectly well aware that there
can be no terms Of peace until there is
victory, and they command their gov

them. Either they must go on until
they are able to say 1--WE have beaten
you," or they must humble themselves
and say you have beaten us-we will
give in" And that is an utterance Of
cowsrdice to which they are very, very
far from being forced now.
Peace talk on the allies side at this
juncture is not cowardice merely but
treason. 1t is a direct assistance to the
enemy. II is a fire in the rear against

way, inch by inch, through the woods be-

struggle for the mere sake of making an
empty demonstration of their might, but
with the intention Of aiding decisively

Standard Oil Company Points the Way.

Standard Oil Company Points the Way.
The Free Press for years has been en-
phasizing the possibility of developing
transportation by water on an extended
scale from the Hudson to Lake Cham
plain, as our readers will readily recall.
We urged the city of Burlington to buy
the half mile of lake front included in
the Stearns property south Of the draw
bridge, which at that time could have
been purchased for $4,000, but misrep-
reservations by interested parties who
opposed a public wharf, defeated the
project. We have talked public termi-
nal for Burlington in season and out of
season, but as yet little progress has
been made in that direction.
We are thankful to have lived to see
these efforts fully vindicated by the
course of the far-seeing Standard Oil
company, which is now preparing TO
ship oil from the Hudson to Lake Cham
plain by tank craft. People who said
the Stearns property was too far south
for wharfage purposes will be interest
ed to know that the Standard Oil com
pany is constructing wharf still far
tneT south, opposite their new prop
erty, formerly the west part of Howard
park, the scene Of former rate fairs The
whole story of this project IS printed
in our news columns this morning.
The Standard Oil company knows it lie
only question Of time, when the Bur
lington brcakwaters win be extended
south and the region east OF it dredged
for navigation purposes. When that time
comes the Stearns property for wharfage
win be worth many times what Burling-
ton could have bought II for, TO say
nothing of that other time when the city
will be forced to stop pouring sewage
into Lake Champlain and must have a
site for a sewage disposal plant.
If the city can buy any portion Of the
Stearns front from the Queen City Cot
ton company at any reasonable price, 1t
should proceed to do so forthwith. 1t
will be municipal crime II we procras-
innate too long The Standard Oil COM
pany has pointed the way, Enthusiastically,

CURRENT COMMENT


The United States steel corporations
extraordinary net earnings for the quar-
ter ended June 80 may create the i'm
preston that the government permits
the corporation to sell its products at ex-
cessively high prices. Although the gov
eminent has not taken over the steel in
dustry to the same extent that it has
gone into the regulation of coal mining,
it does virtually dictate steel prices
through the war industries board. How
ever, there are many smaller iron and
steel plants independent of the big
trust" and prices have to be arranged
SO as to stimulate production by them.
Many of them have higher production
costs than the leading interest" and
consequently they cannot make profits
at the same rate.
The United States steel corporation is
undoubtedly q marvel of efficiency and
economical production; no better proof
of IL could be found than the net earn
ings of $l53,273,64l for the last quar-
ter, These enormous gains, of course,
are much reduced by the heavy federal
taxes, which are soon TO be increased
For the quarters. the corporation re-
served $00,7l8,250 to pay tax bills, Of
which $5S,7l6,250 is charged up to taxes
under the existing law and the remain
der to the new taxes anticipated.
The wage increases, it appears, affect
chiefly unskilled labor. Common laborers
will get about "a day, compared with
about So earned by them late In 1915
Such high wages for unskilled labor in
the steel industry affect unskilled la
Dor everywhere, and the consequent
turnover" in all industries competing
for the same labor has been very great
and very demoralizing The governments
regulation of the employment of this
class of labor, beginning to-day, is the
outcome of such economic conditions
