vERMoNT's RURAL PROBLEM.

Having attempted in previous edit
orial to show something of the town !
resident : responsibility for rural con
ditions we now attempt to say some
thing about the farmer 5 responsibility !
for it. The farmer himself has told
quite freely of his difficulties and laid
them on other parties; but he seems to
have overlooked some of his own short
comings in the process. This is neces
sarily am outside view but we hope a
more or less correct one.
The farmer nearly always thinks he|
could do better in financial way some
where else He is no different than.
others IN this TtsPect-probably nine
ty-nine out of every hundred men think
they could do something better than
they can the employment they are en-
gagged in. Probably the great majority
of them are wrong about this, so a
large majority have an incorrect esti-
mate of themselves.
The farmer is always pointing to the
Exceptional case in other lines of bust
ness. the really successful man, and
comparing his own wealth with that
man. The word exceptional is used ad-
visedly as statistics show that only one
tenth of the men in business are really
successful Farmers do not constitute
a large percentage of the bankrupts in
this state A bankrupt farmer is rare
but one frequently sees that this bust
ness man or that laborer is in bank
ruptcy. The farmer does not appreciate
his real standing in the financial world
Comparison between the average farm
er and The exceptionally successful man
is not fair To accumulate a large for,
tune a business man must command 6
very large capital and have large
number of other people working for and
with him. A big man in any industry
must risk capital many times larger
than the farmer $ capital, must hav,
| many times as much money in stocks
J and finished goods. Usually he doe

but small profit on a great number o
articles. This is true in everything un

INJUNCTION IN
LODGE SUIT IS
NOT Permanent
Judge Troup Refuses to Enjoln
A. O. U. W. From Do.
ing Business in State
of Nebraska.

District Judge Troup yesterday
handed down a decision refusing to
issue q permanent injunction to
keep the grand lodge, Ancient
Order of United Workmen. from
doing business in Nebraska.
The litigation has been in the
courts several years. The Nebraska
grand lodge, Ancient Order of
United Workmen. withdrew from
the supreme lodge or national body
OF the order in 1909. In 1917 more
than 1900 of the lodge members in
Nebraska withdrew and joined the
Iowa lodge which was still affiliated
with the national organization.
At this time the Nebraska organ
ization secured temporary injunc-
ton keeping the Iowa lodge from
doing business in Nebraska.
In April. 1919, the Iowa lodge Sc
cured license from the Nebraska
insurance board giving it permission
to do business in Nebraska. Action
was started then by the Iowa lodge
to have the temporary injunction
dissolved and Judge Troup dissolved
it so ia as doing business in Omaha
and Fremont was concerned. The
Injunction is now entirely dissolved
and the Iowa lodge is free to take
members anywhere in Nebraska.

some Of the harbors, then sail In
and anchor near them. The little
submarines would then be released
from the mother ship and proceed to
sink as many British vessels IS they
could by firing explosive shells into
them below the water line. The
novelty of such an attack was count
ed upon to spread CONSERVATION
among the British fleet and thus
enable the submarines to escape.
In succession follow the names OF
other men who tried to conquer the
depths of the sea with boat which
would really go. There was G. w.
Garrett of Liverpool who brought
out his boat under special patent in
1878; Lieut.. Isaac Peril in 1887 built
a vessel in which the motive power
was supplied from electric accumu-
lators; Goubet built several boats in
1885 and up to the year 1890; Prof
Josiah Tuck in 1885 presented to
the public vessel called the peace
maker" the novel feature of which
consisted of "caustic soda" boiler
for generating steam for submerged
work. A man by the name Of Wad-
dington of England had his own
boat built in 1886. In 1882 George
H. Baker. brought out an egg
shaped vessel which he ran sub
merged by the use Of side propellers
driven by bevel gears.
u. S. Makes Appropriation.
In 1898 the United States govern
ment gave a new impetus to the de-
velopment of under-sea c-aft by
making an appropriation of 100000
for a submarine which would really
work and advertised for inventors
to supply designs.
1t is interesting to note that only
three men answered the govern
ment's advertisement. They were:
George c. Baker, J. P Holland and
Simon Lake. Mr.. Lake submitted

help make America first in maternity
safety?"
This is the slogan Of the Maternity
Center association, which is con-
Quoting campaign partly to enlist
membership for the organization
and partly to educate women who
may need the benefits of the cen
tiers.
The associations purpose is to CO.
ordinate all organized efforts to pro-
vide for prenatal care, to find out
the communities where no such care
is provided and to establish new
centers where they are needed.
Posters announcing some rather
humiliating facts concerning the
care which mothers receive or do
not receive in this country, as COM
pared with that they get in others,
have been published and are being
distributed. Even he who runs for
subway or elevated train cannot
help seeing the blue and white an
nouncements:

of age died in New York city in
1918, and $50 others were still.

That one out Of three of these
babies and nearly all of the mothers
could have been saved by care given
before the baby's borth.
That European countries practic-
ing this care have reduced their in
FAINT death rate even during the war.
That during the same period the
infant death rate in the United
States has increased"

These are some of the facts which
the association deals in and which it
insists that every one should know.

Bushnel's submarine resembled
the shells of two turtles joined
together. 1t was a vessel propelled
by screw propeller to obtain for
ward or reverse motion. -
With this submarine, a mine was
placed under the bottom of the
English frigate Eagle" anchored
in New York bay, but it drifted clear
before the clockwork mechanism
caused it to explode, otherwise the
ship would have been destroyed.
General Washington complimented
DR.. Bushnell for so nearly succeed
ing in his attempt to sink the ship.
Fulton Has Under-Sea Boat.
In England, in the presence Of
William Pitt, then chancellor, Rob-
ert Fulton, inventor of the steam
boat, blew up frigate by exploding
a mine which he placed under her
by the use of a submarine.
In 1850 Bavarian by the name
OF Bauer built submarine. It's
method of control was by shifting
the weight forward to dive and aft
to rise. 1t was a flat-sided and fiat,
decked vessel, with comparatively
thin plating. The boat collapsed in
the harbor at KEEL during one Of its
trial trips and remained partly bur-
led in the mud until 1887. At that
time it was located during the deep
ening of the harbor and taken to
Berlin, where it is now kept in the
Museum of Oceanography as an ex-
hibit of Germany's first submarine.
Man-of-War Sunk by Submarine.
No further important progress is
recorded in the art of submarine
warfare until the civil war. Then
the confederates built several small
boats called "Davids." One of these
