Legislature Raps Women

While the soIons of the state
fell over each other in efforts to
cajole women by giving them the
right to vote, they felt it a pub
lie duty to censure them for their
manner of dressing. Witness
the resolution passed by the
House last week which is as fol-
lows: BE it recommended by
the General Assembly to the wo-
men of the state that they burn
their corsets, knock the heels off
their slippers. get a gauze
stretcher and stretch their cloth
ing so it will cover all their body
and adopt other than transpar-
ent underclothing, commonly
called Lingerie" /"
Mrs. Geo. Gellhorn says it
would be undignified to discuss
the matter. Miss Mary Scott
says we were all decently cloth
ed. Mrs. Edith Goodwin said
she was hot enough to wear
gauze alright. These were

of the big men 90 Of the state
appearing in the senate and in
the house with their coats of
and sone. think Of it, wearing
galIusses. SGme of the women
remarked this crude idea of dress
and did SO aloud and it was in a
sort of mild retaliation that the
Recommendation was put before
the house. 1t is safe to predict
that the originators of the direct
criticism of the way women are
dressing will be hunted down
and votes against them heaped
lin stacks about their Official de

Tax Nulsances


There are many who would es-

and doubtless many escape their
legitimate share but the great
majority willingly pay when the
tax is not Of the nagging kind,
such as on theatre and movie

SO called luxury tax of vari-

annoying one cent and two cent
payments are very unpopular
and to a great extent defeat the
real purpose Of the levy.
Congress- has resorted to SO
many forms Of committing nuis-
ances that it is hardly conceiy-
able that national law makers
could become more unpopular
than they made themselves in

Farm Bureau Notes
By Sam Jordan

cesses are always best it would
not be possible to practice all of
them for the reason that so
many other things often require
our attention.
The soil chemist can tell us
exactly what kind of crop we
might be able to produce. The
assayist can tell just precisely
how much gold is in a certain
piece of ore. He can tell just
now much in the refining proces.
ses that the ore will produce.
Such a process cannot be deter.
mined in farming for the simple
reason that there is no factor in
crop reduction that is wholly
within control of the farmer.
If it were not for insect pests
and plant diseases and storms
and unfavorable weather then
We might form a rule Of action
that would apply one year with
another. The soil chemist does
not tell US the amount of humus
Or vegetable matter in the soil
and the productiness of soil is
always measured to a greater or
less extent by the amount of
its vegetable matter. A soil
may be perfectly fertile yet it
may be non. productive on ac-
count of lack of vegetable matter
or on account of drainage, or
weather conditions.
The above things being true,
about the best that anyone can
10 is to determine thru the law of
averages what is possibly the
best practice.
As general rule early plow-
ing for wheat is preferable. tis
also better to plow deep. There
is however another side to the
question and that is where soil
is very short on vegetable mat
ter that it sometimes best, when
manure cannot be secured, to
allow a reasonable crop of weeds
to grow and turn them under
when they are yet green. This
applies of course, to stubble
land. 1t is we'll known that
wheat should have rather a COM
pact seed bed. This for the
reason that if the seed bed is
TOO loose it contains tno much
free water. This condition
makes loss by heaving more like
".
There is another advantage in
early and deep plowing and that
is where the Hessian fly is pres
ent. This pest goes into resting
stage on wheat stubble as the
wheat ripens and remains there
!. from two FIVE or six weeks de-
pending largely on weather con-
ditions. This fact should give
Jus the key to the most success.
full fights that we can put up
against Hessian fly. The early
deep plowing buries the insect
and should it hatch or transform
under the soil the possibilities of
escaping are very remote.
Another Loss of Milk
In our dairy herd are the cows
we are depending on for our
: winter supply Of milk and should
be given the greatest possible
consideration during the next 60
days. Pastures will soon be
getting dry and flies are a source
| of torment for the greater part
of the twenty four hours of every
: day. There are several fly re-
peIlants on the market or they
may be made at home and they
cost very little in proportion to
the good they do. If cows are
allowed TO dry up partially dur
ing the heated season they cam
mot be orot back thru their nor
NAL milk flow when pasture and
weather conditions have again
J become favorable. We should

TONES BEING USED
FOR BEVERAGES
Efforts Being Made in Porto Rico to
Check the Use of Perfumes, Lotions,
Etc, as Drink.

San Juan, June q Correspondence of
the Associated Press Efforts are be-
ing made by the Porto Rican authorities
to check the use as beverages of tonics,
perfumes and lotions containing alcohol.
The insular treasurer, Jose G. Benedicto,
and DIR. del Vale Sarraga of the health
department, recently asked the House of
Representatives to enact legislation to
prevent the use of such connections as
intoxicating drinks.
Mr.. Benedcto pointed out that it was
legally permissible TO use alcohol for in
dustrial purposes, under certain regula-
tions, so that any individual could pre-
pare formula, have it approved by the
treasury and health department and sell
it freely throughout the island. Theoret-
ically, these preparations were not for
internal consumption and were harmful
to the health, but in practice it had been
found that they were being drunk in
alarming quantities, he said. Their sale
could not very well be stopped, as they
were permitted by law.
Before prohibition went into force
here" said Mr.. Benedicto, "the alcohol
used for industrial purposes in Porto
hlco dIHOuHleu 10 uelWtSH I 3Vuu anu
5000 quarts month, whereas during
last March no less than $4,000 quarts
were used and in April, $4,000 quarts"
There were two methods OF dealing
with the question through the legislature,
said Mr. Benedicto. Either by Selling all
those preparations which are being used
as a drink, although manufactured UNI
der insuar permits, or by increasing the
quarterly license to manufacturers to
5000 instead of the S25 now being pro-
posed, which would enable only the larg
er firms to manufacture such prepara-
tions and would take them out Of the
reach of the general public.
DIR. del Vale informed the House of
the measures which had already been
adopted to prevent the use of such tonics
for drinking purposes. At first, he said
wood alcohol had been introduced into
these preparations, but in view of the
terrible effects it produced, this had been
stopped, for they would simply be lead
ing those people who drank the prepare
tions into total blindness. The other
chemicals which had been introduced in
order to make the lotions nauseous to
the stomach, had not been very success
fll, for means had been found by the
people of filtering the liquids and other
wise getting rid of such ingredients.
1t Is declared that, although absolute
prohibition has been enforced in the
island for a year, the police daily are
discovering stills for the distillation of
alcohol

SAVED BY A TREE.
Party in Automobile Had Started to Fall
Down Embankment.

Brattleboro, June 2s.--An automobile
party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. w. P.
Greeley and child of Trenton, n. j., were
in an automobile accident on the Putney
road Thursday night which doubtless
would have proved very serious had not
the progress of their Buick car been
stopped by tree on an embankment
They were coming to Brattleboro and
when some distance north of the june
tion of the Putney and Dummerston
roads by Crosby pond, they met mo.
tor truck. There was no railing and the
bushes beside the road. appeared to be
growing from level ground. In turning
out at a narrow point to pass the truck,
their car tipped over in the bushes, which
proved to be growing on an embank-
ment.
The-ear landed on its side against
tree, which prevented it from going down
a 20foot bank The top and Windshield
were smashed Mrs. Greeley sustained
bruises to one arm, but otherwise none
of the party was hurt. The motor truck
and men who assembled assisted in get
ting the Buick back into the road and it
was run to the Hanley garage under its
own power, Repairs were made and the
party resumed its homeward trip yes

Use of Road Drag Advocated.

A number of editorial quotations about

word to the testimony of the others and
say that for pleasure give us good gravel
roads for touring purposes. When hard
surface roads are in perfect condition
they are thing of beauty, but a neg
lected starvia or any hard surface road
is worse than neglected gravel road
and neglected" roads appear TO be the
greatest trouble with Vermont high
ways Hundreds of miles of Vermont
roads would be very materially improved
if simply dragged after the rains, the
man doing the dragging stopping here
and there to fill depression, fix the
approach to bridges and get out an oc.
casional stone. There are many places,
of course, where foundation work is
needed, such as grading, draining, widen
ing, and Strengthening, and this work is
being well done by degrees but neglect
of the surface is common fault. The
general cry of those who travel Vermont
roads is, use the drag "-Barton Moni-

BEATING GERMANS INTO RUSSIA.
British Merchants Have. Devised a Far
Reaching Scheme.

London, June % Correspondence Of
the Associated Press) - British mer-
chants have devised a far-reaching
scheme, based to great extent on gov
ernment insurance, for capturing the
trade of non bolsheyik Russia. They
want to put their goods into white
Russia before the Germans have chance
10 do so, but apart from agricultural
machinery, on which the United States
already has the call, England, by this
plan, could be far ahead of any other
nation.
The department of overseas trade of
the board of trade, which is a govern
ment institution with cabinet member
at the head, has prepared bill for sub
mission to Parliament providing that the
government shall set aside a fund of
$l25,000,000 to finance the insurance on
the transportation of British goods into
Russia. Sir Arthur Steel -Haitland, head
of the overseas trade branch, has been
selected to pilot the bill through the
Commons.
The bill provides that merchants shall
be furnished commercial information re-
garding Russia; that regular sailings
shall be arranged that goods shall pc
insured and that banks shall be enabled
to make ordinary advances to traders.
Banks could also issue warrants against
collateral security of insured goods and
the warrants would be valid only for
purchase of British goods. They would
have fixed value in British money
Sponsors Of the scheme point out that
the government probably would make a
profit as was done through the war risk
insurance scheme. That netted the gov
eminent $s5,000,000 profit.

Some Things to Do and Some Not to Do
in Cake Making.

All modern recipes call for level meas
urements. The rounding measure for
dry ingredients is too uncertain to use
with the uniform liquid measure Use
the same size cup and spoon in measur-
ing all ingredients.
The laborious way of Dreaming the
lard shortening and sugaring is not nee
essary. If the shortening is warmed
through and mixed with the sugar it
produces the same result.
When using pure lard for shortening,
use one third less than of ordinary lard.
When butterine is used, the result will
be the same as with butter, and little
less is used than is called for in butter
Too much sugar makes the crust and
crumb sticky.
Too much shortening makes greasy
crust and crumb.
Too much egg makes crumb wet and
soggy.
Dry crumby crust is caused by too
much baking powder.
Crust OF good cake is light golden
brown, one-eighth to one-fourth thick,
and tender.
Proper mixing insures uniform texture.

SALnIN THE UNITED STATES.
Indians First Salt Merchants in the
United States.

The Delaware Indians made salt from
brine springs in New York state and sold
it TO settlers as early as 1870, making
probably the first commercial production
of salt in this country The manufae-
ture of salt by white people in the Unit.
ed States was begun near Syracuse, N.
Y, about l7ss. Salt is the most com
monty used mineral in the world, and no
useful mineral except coal, perhaps, oe-
ours in greater abundance or is more
widely distributed in the United States
The federal and state surveys and pri-
waite establishments have published a
great deal about the occurrence of salt
in parts of the United States, but not
until now has so much information on
the salt deposits of the whole country
been assembled in single book. This
book, which is entitled salt Deposits of
the United States" has just been issued
by the United States geological survey,
department Of the interior, as its bulle
tin 500, an illustrated volume of 275
pages, written by w. c. Phalen after he
had visited many salt producing locali-
ties from New York to California In
this volume the distribution and charac-
ter OF the salt deposits are described by
states, and a brief history of the indus
try is given, together with a record of
the output since 1897. The report also
contains a discussion of the origin and
formation of saline deposits and many
chemical analyses Of brines and bitterns.
