CUT LICENSE TOWNS IN HALF.
Supt. C. H. Smith of Anti-Saloon League
Makes Prediction.

1T is confidently hoped by the Yer
mont Anti.Saloon league that the 10 IL
cense towns and cities in the state will
be cut in half at next March meeting,
says Supt. Clifford II. Smith.
Mr.. Smith said the league in its cam
paign against license was stressing the
point that business and morals, in view
of the probability that many more sol
diers would be sent into the state would
be affected unfavorably should license be
allowed TO continue. not only in Burling-
ton, but throughout the state.
1T may be too much to expect con-
tinued Mr.. Smith ito have the state en-
tirely free this spring though public sen
timent has wonderfully changed of late
as to the desirabiity of continuing Ii
cense in force. 1t should be the patriotic
duty of every man to carefully weigh the
question this year, Of all years. before
he casts his vote for the open saloon.h
1T is my belief that not more than
one half of the towns now having license
will vote for it again. A spirited cam
paign against liquor is being waged in
every place in Vermont where it is sold

known as the silver louise, bristle tail,
etc. Ii is small insect that frequently
does much damage to books, articles of
clothing, or anything upon which there
is any paste or glue. The silyertish al
ways shuns the light. II is the small,
glistening insect that darts out from
shelves and closets when books, clothing

its fondness for anything of starchy
nature the insect may be eliminated by
placing in book shelves, wardrobes and
closets strips of cardboard upon which
flour paste containing the poison recon-

spread. Ii is possible also to obtain re-

AMUSEMENT NOTES
Tonight at Barre Opera House, There
She Goes"

Never before in the history of the
theatre was il needed as it is now. These
are war times: the catastrophe that has
shaken Europe for three years has
brought the theatre and its vast army of
workers more into the limelight than
ever before. Never in the worlds history
was il needed SO much to cheer and TO
bring forgetfulness to the stricken peo-
Pile of the earth. Never before was there
such need for the service of those that
entertain and make merry, and bring
comfort to those in sorrow. The lighter
form of clean amusement, especially mu-
steal. comedy with bright. iingling music,
pretty girls and pretty costumes, funny
comedians that bring big laughs and
make one forget their troubles, bewil-
dering scenic effects, whirling dancers, in
fact an evening of clean entertainment
of splendid jollity, refreshing youth and
beauty, smart dancing, whistling melo-
dies and the sweetest of girlies. That is
Just the kind of musical comedy There
She Goes" is. which comes TO the opera
house tonight There are 40 people with
the company. including Harvey d. Orr,
Kenneth Christy, Martha Craver, Cal

brought in 6s samples OF milk to be test
ed. These men are determined to know

How TO Increase Production.
We have been subject TO all kinds of
criticism aud advice as TO what We farm
ers should do in regard to making big
ger production. IL will now occur 10 You
that the farm bureau has been rather
silent ON this point, knowing that the
farmers in Washington county win do
all that they possibly can. However, now
with the newly formed farmers war
council in this state. made mp OF the
presidents of the farm bureaus, the
dairymens association, and other agri.
cultural organizations, we shall be in a
position TO make recommendations that
practical farmers have passed upon and
which we can depend upon as being their
best Judgment. These recommendation
will be passed along to the producers
through the farm bureaus in the state,
and the county agents hope that all pro-
duGers will support this work
\ few OF the ways which have been
talked over and will be taken up at the
next meeting of the council and the
county agents in March will be the loca-
ton OF communities where tractors can
be used TO advantage and the assistance
of locating means for the purchase and |
operation of them; the location of com.
where special crops like beans !
can be produced to advantage by plant |
ing and caring for the crop economically |
by cooperative means, using uniform |
seed and using machinery cooperative
~, the locating of communities where |
the spraying OF potatoes aud orchards
IAN be accomplished with o-operatively
operated machinery, the continuance of
demonstrations that show how the yields
IF crops can be improved by the use of
he proper varieties of seed and by Sc
ected seed. These matters will be given
ietailed attention as they are taken up
N the next few weeks.

The Sun is being criticized to some
extent locally for its independent atti-
tude during the recent political cam
paign. An honest effort was made by
he management to give everyone a
square deal, regardless of his political
attitude or ~affiliation, and we feel that
so far as this paper is concerned no
candidate of any party was favored
more than any other candidate. and no
editorial camouflge or m~isrepresenta-
ton was INDUCED i'll. So far as we
have been able to find out, the criti-
cism m altogether from a few dis
gruntled political henchmen whose idea
of n square deal is to have all the best
of it, and whose methods include mis-
representation of all sorts, anonymous
letters, and other unfair and dark-of-
the-moon means of accomplishing their
political ends So long as criticism
comes only from such individuals it is
without force or effect, further Than to
add proof to the fact that n square
deal is no part of their political code.
