The mining situation in this vicin-
ity seems to be in more substantial
and promising condition just now than
at any time for years. There are sew
eral companies working in earnest and
along systematic lines to make pay
ing mines, and it looks as though
they were going to get there.
The local high school pupils cast
in the play "The Winning of Latane"
went up to Nelson Sunday afternoon
and in the evening repeated the play
at the American theater in that place.
Unfortunately little publicity had been
given of the proposed entertainment
and in consequence there was only
small turnout and the young people
| were not repaid for the trip so far as
the receipts are concerned, although
the trip proved to be pleasant one
for all who made it.

WILSON TO THE FARMERS.

President Wilson in his message to
the farmers of the United States, Of
Jan. 81, voices a strong faith in their
loyalty and makes a strong call for
their cooperation in winning the war.
1t has been the fashion of many
writer's to compare the production per
acre of European farmers to the det-
riment of the American. The presi-
dent, however, makes the assertion
that the farmers of this country are
as efficient as any other farmers in
the world, and that while they do not
produce more per acre, it is not only
not necessary that they should do so,
but perhaps it would be bad economy
for them to attempt it. The real test
is that they do produce by two or
three times more per man per unit of
labor and capital than the farmers
of any European country; they are
more alert and use more labor-s saving
devices than any other farmers in the
world.
The response of the farmers, says
Mr.. Wilson, to the demands of the
present emergency has been in every
way remarkable, and he quotes fig
ures in proof of the assertion. These
achievements, he urges, should be re-
peated and even exceeded.
The president denies that the gov
eminent has sought to fix the price of
foodstuffs and not sought to fix other
prices which determine the expenses
of the farmer, stating that the gov
eminent has successfully regulated
the prices of many materials under
lying all the interests of the country,
and such regulation was not only for
the purchases of the government but
for the purchases of the public, and in
fixing the prices of foodstuffs the
government has sincerely tried to
keep the interests of the farmer as
much in mind as the interests of the
others.
Recalling the historic action of the
farmers at Lexington, when they
fired the shot that was heard around
the world President Wilson says
that the toll, the intelligence, the en-
ergy, the foresight, the sacrifices, the
devotion Of the farmers of America
will bring to triumphant conclu-
sion this great last war for the eman-
cipation Of men from the control of
arbitrary government and the selfish
ness of class legislation.

VERMONT NOTES

The wheatless days and meals at
the Waterbury asylum have proved a
saving of 500 inwheat flour and DR..
WATSON says the health Of the in
mates is better. The actual saving
is ten barrels of flour per week.
A new regiment of cavalry, to be
known as the 31Oth cavalry, National
army, is to be organized from the va
rious environments of the country and
is to be stationed at Fort Ethan AL
len inside of a few weeks. The regi-
ment will contain about 1000 men
and will probably take the place of
the Second cavalry who will be trans
ferred for duty elsewhere.
To raise $1,000 in six weeks is the
task which confronts the men of the
Baptist churches in Vermont. The
amount represents Vermont's share in
the big drive of the Northern Baptist
Laymen to raise one million dollars
before March 81, 1918. The home
and foreign activities of the Baptist
denomination as we'll as special war
work which they are undertaking
during the war, need an additional
million dollars above previous
amounts in order to be financed prop
erly. Hence the drive to raise the
fund The central committee of the
state consists of Henry Bond, Brat
tleboro; Judge F. M. Butler, Rutland !;
Hon. w. w. Stickney, Ludlow; Prof.
Raymond Mcfarland, Middlebury and
F. r. Dickerman, Bristol. The ma
tional headquarters committee have
appointed Professor Mcfarland to be
campaign director in Vermont, with
headquarters in Middlebury.

GERMAN-AMERICAN ALLIANCE

Congress May Take Away Ineorpora-

Washington.-There is pending in
the United States Senate bill in
troduced by Senator King of Utah, to
dissolve the German-American Al
lance. Action on the measure is ex-
pected soon. Years ago Congress
granted this organization articles Of
Incorporation.
At that time Congress was not
aware that it was the purpose Of the
German-American Alliance to work
politics for the brewers, neither did
it understand that the Alliance was
to be the connecting link between the
brewers of this country and the Ger
man government.
But few years ago, the Kaiser, in
speech at Potsdam, asserted that he
could control the politics of America
through the German-American Al
lance, which also works politics for
the brewers.

Germany and with the loyalty of this

"GO0D NAME" OF SALOONS
Funny Demand Made by Columbus
Brewery Workers.

Brewery Workers.
Columbus, O.-Can it be possible
there is hunor among brewery work
ers? The brewery workers of this
city have appealed to the state and
county liquor licensing boards to aboi-
ish cabarets, because the brewery
workers claim these cabarets are
hurting the good name Of the sa-
Icon"
When the request was made, IL
cense officials gasped as it was news
to them that the saloon had good
name" to be hurt, but the brewery
workers declare they are in earnest.
They contend that cabarets are caus-
ing a prejudice against saloons and
are driving Ohio dry, and after Ohio
becomes dry what will the brewery
workers do. These brewery workers
are so afraid Of cabarets that they
declare Il they are not abolished the
brewery workers may refuse to de-
liver beer to places which tolerate
them.
Now that the cabaTets know what
the brewery workers think of them,
It is up TO cabaret performers to ex-
press themselves on brewery work

HOW DRUNKENNESS DECREASED
When the Saloons Of Youngstown
Were Closed on HeatIess
Mondays.

When the Saloons Of Youngstown
Were Closed on HeatIess
Mondays.
Youngstown, Ohio.-The Telegram
has made study of the police records
of this city covering the four heatless
Mondays when saloons were closed
For the purpose Of comparison, the
Telegram has divided each of the four
periods into two periods of 48 hours
each. The first period extends from
Friday noon to Sunday noon of each
week when the saloons were open,
and the second period extends from
Sunday noon to Tuesday noon, when
the saloons were closed. The records
at the police station show that in the
four open saloon periods. the total
arrests was 449, an average Of Sc for
each "a hours. In the four closed
saloon periods, the total of arrests
was 72, an average of each "a hours.
The total of arrests for drunken
ness or offenses due to liquor in the
four open saloon periods was 276, an
average Of 35 each "a hours. The
total of arrests for the four saloonlesa
periods was %, an average of three
each "a hours.
This should answer definitely the
charge that Prohibition does not pro-
hibit.
