said that nearly all of the boys have
been advanced in pay since they began
farming and most of them have been
benefited physically
In one Massachusetts camp 80 boys
started bank accounts. In another camp
a dozen bows subscribed to Liberty
bonds. In another six boys who had
planned an academic course liked farm
life so well they altered their program
and applied for admission to the agri-
cultural college At still another camp
an estigator asked each boy whether
he would return to farm work the next
wear. There was only one Negative re-
sponse-and that boy explained that he

LEARN FROM VERMONT.

State Comptroller Eugene Nj. Travis in
a lecture on practical Politics for Won
en-" at New York university declared the
other day that millions of dollars were
being wasted in an unbusinesslike pur.
chase of supplies for the various state
| departments. No two departments, the
comptroller said, adopt the same system
of purchasing, and none attempts to
benefit through the experiences of an
other with the result that unfortunate
experiments in buying have ended in a
surprising amount of waste, and because
of lack of system in some cases, worse
than waste
The fault did not originate with Comp
troller Travis. 1t antedated by many
years his assumption of Office. The inn
portant thing is that after more than
three years in office he admits its exist
ence and has inaugurated plan for
Capitalization of the states purchasing
agencies for departments and institu
tions that promises saving of several
million dollars,-New York Evening Sun.
New York, the state of sef-vaunted
might cross over the boundary line and
come into state where purchasing is
done on the collective scale by a state
purchasing agent Then New York might
be willing to admit that it could learn
something to its advantage from even
such small and despised state as YER
mont. For some years Vermont has been
buying through one department and the |
plan has worked out well in all its gen !
eral features. Possibly New York could
put similar system into operation with
good results.

Americans have been getting all the
worst of it in their encounters with the
Germans on the western front, not be-
cause they are being outfought but be-
cause they are being held in leash and

rather than to infiict it, One of these
