munity Chautauqua and she will want
to get acquainted with every child in
Manchester and she will surely give
them good time. There will be a
big Play Festival Jubilee between six
and eight o'clock next Monday eve-

Judge Mnuson's and every child should
be there. Bring your parents along
with you, children, for the games will
interest them. II you can, fix up some
costume for the festival, dress as a
sailor or soldier or red cross nurse,
or initiate Charlie Chaplin for there
will be a parade. Bring along a flag
to carry in the parade. There will al
so be a ticket hunt Monday night and
the play leader will at that time tell
you about the other things she will do
for you during the week. Every boy
and girl should be on hand at six
o'clock Monday evening at the Chau-
tauqua tent.

SENATE READY

There were two declarations in the
"Round Robin" signed by the 80 pat
riotic and courageous senators on
March 4, 1919. One was that the
league of nations covenant, in the
form proposed, should not be accepted
by the Senate. The other was that
peace with Germany should be con
summated first and then the question
Of league Of nations taken up for
consideration. President Wilson def
ed both Of these declarations. He in
sisted that the league covenant must
be accepted in the form proposed, and
that it must be adopted as part Of
the treaty Of peace. The Senate has
been ready for months to approve any
considerable treaty of peace II there
has been delay in attaining peace the
rests upon President
Wilson and upon him alone The Sem
ate has been ready for months to con-
slider league Of nations covenant, but
insisted that matter Of such vital
concern to the future Of this nation
must be considered solely upon its own
merits and not interviewer with the
question of restoration Of peace. The
Senate has been absolutely right in
both particulars, and the President il
clearly wrong. History will SO record
the story Of President Wilson's at
tempt to subjugate this nation to 4
in which Great Britain
would have six votes to our one.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Woodow Wilson, with an immense
aggregation Of specialists, statistic

cooperation with the representatives
OF other nations, 10 formulate the
peace treaty. The President has seen
ht to withhold from the Senate in

by which the terms Of the treaty were
reached Why, then, expect the Sem

hastily what course il shall pursue in
performing its constitutional duty Of
ratifying, amending or rejecting?

Gus churches was carried out with
very few changes. The Rev. J. n.
Rhoda Of Philadelphia, preached the

The Association sermon was deliv-
cred by the Rev. Alexander Donald Of
Polutney and was an extremely able
discourse. Church letters from the
churches Of the Association showed in
nearly every case very healthy con-
dition of the several churches.
The discourses on "Bolshevism" and
"Church Federation" occupied very
large places in the sessions Of the

READY TO Jump

Sometimes we think we can read
between the lines of Democratic edi-
torials a vague apprehension that the
administration is about to back track
on the league Of nations. Recalling
the numerous instances in which the
President has reversed himself on
other important subjects it is no won
der that the Democratic editors feel
little insecure in their present posi-
tion.

since the project was started and man
ifests a large development Of interesi
in the plan. That this interest Is JUS
titled Is shown by the number OF grow
ers from the great Long Island and
New Jersey potato regions who coma
to this state To look up a source foF
their seed supply, situation resulting
from the very high standing which
Vermont seed potatoes have made both
in experimental plots and commercial
fields in those regions.
II. d. Talmage, one of the largest and
best known growers from Riverhead,
Long Island, who has just made his
annual visit through the state for the
purpose above mentioned, speaks very
encouragingly of the conditions this
year, especially in finding but small
percentage Of Mosaic disease. He Wis
tied fields in the vicinity of Rutland,
Brandon, Rochester, Randolph and
Corinth, paying particular attention to
the fields Of the Randolph Potato
Growers Association which aggregates
nearly 100 acres.
Although smll percentage Of fields
were necessarily eliminated from fur
ther consideration, owing to varietal
mixture or disease, the inspectors re-
port the general condition Of the po-
tatoes as good. Leaf roll appears to
be the most prevalent disease, and all
growers, whether of inspected fields or
not, are advised to eliminate weak
plants from the plot from which they
expect to prune seed stock. Such
plants are likely to be infected either
with leaf roll or Mosaic, both Of which
are transmitted through the seed.

A BARREL OF FLOUR

The price of -four with wheat at
S2.26 bushel could easily have beer
figured out by any schoolboy who had
m. stored the multiplication table
when the wheat guarantee bill was
D. ssed. Assuredly any Washington
official who cared to take his percil In
hand might have accomplished the
same simple TAX.
1t was no mystery, yet after pass
ing the bill, fixing the price and pro
vi ling, by another act for administer
ing its provisions, Washington author
ties suddenly awake to the fact that
the price of barrel of -four is mon
strously high and purpose to make
somebody suffer for it.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1919-08-21


urions and unable to strike for in
creased wages, professors, clergymen
and clerks, men and women OF fixed
and limited incomes, all such realized
what would be the price of -four, but
when the wheat guarantee bill was
being considered they were ignored;
the farmer must be encouraged to
raise a great crop of wheat, and money
was the only inducement that would
reach him.
When the representatives Of power
full railway unions protested against
the high cost of living and demanded
that, having themselves received the
maximum pay they could expect, it
should be lowered, it was an entirely
different matter. Something must be
done about il Immediately, and there
fore Washington is aroused and
ready 10 take drastic action.
The first thing to do is to find
scapegoat, and -four, being preemin-
ent among the daily needs, although
infinitesmial in the sum Of the individ-
ual's annual expenditure, one barrel
sufficing to supply him for an entire
year, which, even at present prices,
represents the magnificent outlay OF
less than four cents day, is selected
for the sacrifice.
The farmer, who receives s2.26 for a
bushel OF wheat. is,. Of course, ignored.
No one in Washington would dare
accuse him of prohtcering, but the
miller and the baker are not exempt,
and upon them must fall the brunt OF
the first savage onslaught.
Here are the figures, based on Min
neapolis:
81 .2s cost of . bushel Of wheat.
Az number Of bushels to barrel
- Of -four.
sI0.l7 cost Of wheat in bbl. Of -four.
1.20 manufacturing and selling

The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1919-08-21

Even at TINS, representing an ehof-
nous loss TO the government, flour
would still be some distance from $6 a
barrel and the dear old much-to-be-de-
sired-politisally five-cent leaf Of bread.
The cost of living is no chimera; 1t
is a real thing, and cannot be over
come by the pursuit Of chimeras. 1t
is the legitimate result Of the war, and
imitation. Congress cannot reduce it
by legislation, and higher wages will
only increase it. Government owner
ship, meaning higher taxation, will
certainly not reduce it. II can be over
come only by thrift, individual econ
omy, judicious expenditure for things
actually needed and lessened taxation.
Finding a scapegoat may be an
amusing and diverting experience, but
it will avail nothing. Bricks cannot
be made without straw, and millers
cannot make cheap -four out of dear
wheat, nor can bakers produce cheap
bread from expensive flour made from
high priced wheat, by high-priced
labor, using ingredients that have
doubled and trebled in value since
1914.
1t cannot be done. Government may
seize and operate all the elevators.
mills, bakeries and retail stores in the
United States, substitute politicians
for business men, and professors and
theorists for practical operators, and
still, with wheat at 1926 a bushel, it
cannot be done. 1t is a human impos-
sibility. Only miracle can accom-
plish it, and Congress lacks the divin-
ity that makes miracles possible.
Flour and the men who make it are
now under fire. Fortunately, they are
abundantly able to prove an alibi.
With some 1000 mills in fierce compe-
tition, there are no trusts, combina-
tions or gentlemen's agreements in
this trade, an there is no power on
earth strong enough to compel man
to sell his product at less than it costs
him to make it. Give the millers
cheap wheat, and they will produce
cheap flour; that is all there is to it.

miller at si.2G Assuming that /,
would take 600. 0.000.000 bushels Of
