AT THE LYRIC

Chas. Ray in "The Hired Man"
will be the attraction at the Lyric
tonite (Thursday.) Chas. Ray again
portrays a country boy, who has been
struggling for years to save money
so that he could better his education,
and he gives the part an entirely hui
man touch. The atmosphere of the
"down-east" farm literally emanates
from each scene. There is an old
time barn dance with the farmers
slyly imbibing probably too much of
the fresh country cider and the young
folks galavanting around the floor
while the staid and country wives
gossip among themselves. This scene
of the real back home on the farm
brings memories of days gone by.

SheIiac.

Shellac is not made by man nor does
It come from tree. 1t is the ex-
elusive product of a minute insect that
exudes it through all the pores of it's
body. 1t is first secretion called lac.
oozing from the bug after it has
sucked the juice Of certain plants and
transformed it into resin. This hard
ems on exposure to the air into a deep
orange colored mass semitransparent
and breaking with a crystalline frac-
ture. In few days the insect is en-
cased, the female forever, the male to
emerge twice year with wings to fly
away and begin the process all over
again.

Both the publisher and the subscriber
have benefited by the cash-in-advanee,
stop at-expiration policy adopted by the
newspapers under admonition of the
war industries board. 1t has relieved
publishers from the extremely hard load
of carrying a group of delinquent sub
seribers over from year to year and has
enabled them to improve their publica-
tons and to better merit the support OF
their readers and advertisers Papers
are no longer sent where they are not
wanted under this system and the adj
vertiser can feel that the paper in which
he is placing his sales message is going
only into the hands of readers who well
come it.

POLITICAL FoREcAsTING.

The Montpelier correspondent of the
Springfield Republican submits a politi-
cal forecast for Vermont. He says:
During the next few months num-
Der of important appointments and
nominations will be made. Gov. Gle
ment Will appoint members of a. com
mission to report proposals of amend
ment to the Vermont constitution, the
time lock clause in that instrument
permitting such proposals to be made
only once in 10 years. A state ticket
viii be nominated, also congressman and
a United States senator to succeed Will
liam T. Dillingham;. New candidates
| are likely to be named for governor and
| lieutenant governor and there have been
suggestions of a possible contest for
| auditor Probably Congressman Greene
and Dale will be renominated and pres
ent indications point to the renomina-
ton of Senator Dillingham;. Delegates
viii also be chosen to the republican and
democratic national conventions and it
would not be strange if Congressman
Greene headed the Republican delega-
| ton. Thus far there has been little agi-
tation except for the general opinion
that Lieut.-Gov. Mason S. Stone, now
IN France. is a very probable candidate
for governor.
1t is quite possible there may be more
candidates than indicated in the above
| dispatch. There is desire for another
candidate for the governorship and such
a man may appear. Some people also
feel that Senator Dillingham;, who will
be II years old at the opening of the
next term Of the senatorship, should al
low a younger man to be selected for
this honor.
If Mason S. Stone is nominated for
/ governor, w. P. Dillingham; renominat-
ed for United States senator and Porter
II. Dale renomnated congressman from
the second district, it will be because
some other good men do not care to
seek these positions in 1920. If Benia-
min Gates desires denomination fol-
state auditor, there will be little chance
for another candidate. The public does
not favor further experimenting Will

1t will surprise many Vermonters to

tract of sugar naples on the northern

maple sugar exclusively A North Caro-
lima paper says this would be the larg-
est maple sugar tract in the world
Southerners have been placing large or.
ders with Vermont manufacturers OF
sugar tools during the past Year and il
is not impossible that North Carolina
will become an important maple sugar
producer. Vermontcrs are too wei
educated in the making of maple sugar

but it is not improbable that some OF
the southern product will get into the

BLUE WORN BY ROMAN NAVY.
Color of Sea Uniforms Has Not Changed
in Many Centuries.

The blue color SO prominent in the uni
forms of almost all sailors is of ancient
origin Negetins, in the fifth book on
military affairs Of the Romans, traces
the origin of this color to the Veneti
an ancient people dwelling near the coast
of Biscay, and well versed in seamanship
It was customary among them to paint
their outgoing ships, as well as the masts
and sails, blue color; also their soldiers
and sailors wore blue uniforms.
According to this author, the Latin
word ''Venetus," which was both the
name of the color and that of the people
points to its origin. From the Neneti the
custom was adopted by the Romans: Thu.
the son of Pompeius, after defeating Caes
ar's fleet in a naval battle, wore the navy
blue, although entitled to the purple
