THE VAIL SCHOOL
State Editors Not Wholly in
Sympathy With Turning Down
Proposition

The following comment from the
Brattleboro Reformer expresses the
general attitude of the newspaper ed
itors around the state on the propo-
sition of abolishment of the Vail
School of Agriculture:
The aboliShment of the Vail School
of Agriculture has been suggested as
step toward more economical gov
ernment in Vermont The plant of
the school worth at least quarter Of
a million of dollars was presented to
the state by Theodore N. Vail, its
owner, and the abolishment of the
school means the state gives up all
title to the property and it reverts to
Lyndon Institute. The wisdom of
giving up such large property is
seriously questioned. 1t is hard to
descern good business in such a sac
rifce for the ideal of consolidating
state institutions.
A greater loss than the property
! loss would be the abandonment of the
ideal and purpose of Mr.. Vail in es-
tablishing the school. He believes the
agricultural possibilities of Vermont
are its greatest and they present the
best opening for the great majority
of the boys and girls of the state;
that the best and most successful ag-
riculture is possible only to persons
with broad and practical knowledge
of soils, fertilization, cultivation and
farm management; that it is beyond
the average farm home to properly
educate boys and girls for successful
of such an education is in an insti-
agricultural life and the only source
tuition property equipped to give the
young necessary scientific instruction
for their work. In this we sec wise
and benevolent comprehension of the
duty of Vermont to it's boys and girls
and to its future. The people of the
state cannot we'll afford to abandon
such valuable ideal.
There remains the question of main
tanning such an institution. 1t has
been very expensive and the number
of students has not been large enough
to utilize the plant to full capacity, /
consequently it is on an Improbable ,
basis. Up to date the problem of the
management of such a large prop
crty has been greater than the super
vision of the students. Still we feel
that abandonment would be unwise.
There is the possibility that when the
donor realizes the situation of the
state government a modification of
the terms of the gift will be possible.
Some disposition of part of the
property might be arranged so that
the state would have only the neces-
sary property for practical conduct
of the school. Possibly the manage
mcnt of the agricultural schools
should not be left with the depart
ment of education, department
skilled in education only, but should
be under separate control of agricul-
tural and business experts.
In all events we hope the state will
continue to educate as many young
men as possible for Vermont farming
and that competent management for
the states agricultural schools will
be developed.

FRESHIES TIE SENIORS
Freshmen Won from Seniors in Yes

Championship

The seniors of st. Johnsbury Acad-
cmy came within two points of win
ming the interclass basket ball cham

Y. M. c. A. but they didn't get those
two points and the freshmen carried
off the game 20-10 making q tie be-

"a4The pamn was fast ard furious bu.
tt'kassssehMsDt played I Deter passing
game and their shooting and floor
work was also slightly superior to
that of the heavier esnior team.
Graves and Cutting for the seniors
and Sweeney and Darling for the
freshmen, were the stars, although
considerable interest was evidenced in
a private war carried on between
Clement and Foye. The seniors missed
Smith, who has been their mainstay,
but is under the weather with touch
of the grippe.
The other game wa ) for the cellar
championship and WIS won by the
sophomores 1921, this making the
juniors and sophomores tied for
third place in the league. For the
first time this season the sopho-
mores got their eyes on the basket,
Thayer came cut of his long winters
slumber, ara there was nothing to it..
The sophomores have always had as
good passing an outfit as any in the
league but have lost out on poor
shooting. Beck and Warden starred
for the Juniors and Marshall and

RECOMMENDS PARDON
Judge Harland B. Howe Takes Ger
erous Attitude Toward Pacifsts
Recently Jailed

The International Bible Students
contend that their officials were un-
reasonably prosecuted during the late
letter be published.
Dear Brethren:
Any who appear timid about sign
ing the public petition for the release
of our brethren may have no hesita-
ton when they are advised of the fact
that the trial judge has himself re-
commended that sentence be COM
muted. The recommendation how
ever, was not acted upon, although
the Department of Justice received
it before the President sailed for
France. 1t is therefore important
that the petition work be pushed to
the utmost degree. Tell the people
that Judge Howe himself has asked
that the men be released, therefore
no citizen should hesitate to sign
our petition. Judge Howe's letter Of
March 3, 1919, to the Attorney Cen
cral reads as follows:
"Thc Honorable Attorney General,
Washington, ID. G.
Sir:
Answering your telegram of the 1st
inst, l wired you that evening as
follows:
.Rccommcnd immediate commuta-
ton for Joseph Rutherford, William
e. Van Amburgh, Robert j. Martin,
Fred H. Robinson, George H. Fisher,
Clayton J. Woodworth, Giovanni De-
Cecca, A. Hugh Macmillan. They
were all defendants in same case in
Eastern District of New York. My
position is to be generous now that
the war is over. They did much
damage by preaching and publishing
their religious DOCTRINES
The severe sentence of twenty
years was imposed upon eaach. of the
defendants except DeCecca. His was
ten years. My principal purpose was
to make an example, as warning to
others, and believe that the Presi-
dent would relieve them after the war
was over. As | said in my telegram,
they did much damage and it may
we'll be claimed they ought not to be
set at liberty so soon, but as they
cannot do any more harm now, am
in favor of being as lienent as l was
severe in imposing sentence. l. be-
lievc most of them were sincere, if
not all, and am not in favor of
|snoniuU Sy1ch npTsons in c0nfinempn. :
after their 6pp6feuhity .for making
trouble is past. Their case has not
yet been heard in the Circuit Court
Of Appeals.
Respectfully,
HARLAND 3. HOWE,
United States District Judge.

81 TOWNS VOTE "WET'
28 Arc Officially Reported and Three
Others in wet"
Column

MONTPELIER, March 13--Ac-
cording to reports of the license vote
in Vermont filed with the secretary of
state to date, 28 towns in the state
voted for license this year. There
was a tie vote in four towns. Three
towns voted solidly against license.
1t is an assured fact, although not
of official record, that three other
towns voted for license, which brings
the total to 81, the largest number in
this class since 1907. 1t is not i'm
probable that this total will be in
creased.

Washing The Face.

IF were TO tell a woman she did
1 not know how to wash her face. I'm
sure she would be awfully offended.
And yet-most women do not know
that there is a right way and a wrong
way TO do even this simple thing. and
few Of them know the right method
Witness the number Of skins that show
large pores and blackheads and such
blemishes.
In washing the face. the idea must
not only be TO cleanse the skin, but
to stimulate circulation. Your face
should be rosy-red and tingly after a
wash And here's how
Run a basin fun Of hot water.
Wiring out the wash cloth. which IS
best made Of Turkish tOWeling, and
hold this steaming hot cloth over the
face Wiring and repeat for a fun
minute or more, till you have gotten
the pores Of the skin open. This also
brings the blood up 10 the face NOW
make lather Of mild soap, CASTLE
for preference. and rub this wei into
the skin, especially around the nose
and chin where the circulation is nat
urally sluggish and where as a result,
the blackheads are apt to collect.
Rinse every bit Of soap from the
face with water as hot as when you
started. Then rinse again with cold
water or rub the skin with a piece
Of ice. or pour a few drops Of an
astringent into the cold water This
is to close the pores and start a re-
action. and also to bring more blood
Up TO the face.
This daily treatment is best taken
at night. for the daytime is when the
skin gets dirtiest But il must be
varied. according TO locality. season
and the character Of your skin. For
instance in winter you'll have TO use
cold cream every daW or so. for the
cold air dries out the natural oils In
the skin And those who live in a dry
climate-Montana. for instance-Will
have TO use cream literally.
In the summer. less cream is neces-
sary. and that can be Of the cleansing
variety, which is lighter A dry COM
pleNion Of course, will take more oils
than any other sort. You must judge
all this for yourself. And too. II your
skin is quite bad. YOU viii find that
