St. Paul, Dec. big red posters

woods in Northern Minnesota; log

said on his return from the north.

In several states the commissions
have appealed to the supreme court

ner; they would prefer the independent
life Of the farmer who settles on the land
of his choice and whose neghbors would
be farmers and not, Oh necessity, soldiers
or sailors. Men of the United States
service who pick out small farms and goI
to work bringing those farms up to al
high state of cultivation viii feel far
more satisfied in spirit than they would
if herded into great mass Of men more
or less dependent upon each other or
upon the patronage Of the state or the
nation; and such a farm colony would
soon fall to pieces and the land would
be acquired by others. The best way to-
induce soldiers and sailors to take up ag
riculture in Vermont is to set before
them the advantages Of farming and then
to point out specific farms which can be
purchased at moderate prices. The com
mittee which was commissioned by Gov
ernor Graham TO look up available farms,
ETC., announces that in the two sections
Of Vermont visited it found about 90
per cent Of the farm owners who were
willing to sell their properties. In addi-
ton to those farms, there are. many
Others which are practically abandoned
and which could be bought for little
more than song unless there should be
a sudden rise in valuation fixed by the
owner because of grasping, greedy no.
ton.
1t is safe to say that with the farms,
whose present occupants are ready to
sell, and the abandoned properties, there
is plenty of chance for Vermont to ac-
commodate hundreds, perhaps thousands,
of returning service men without resort
ing to any colonization scheme as pro-
posed by Secretary Lane. The chief
thing is to get the knowledge Of the
available farms before the men who may
be looking for farming opportunities.

BATTLE FLAGS FOR THE VERMONT
COLLECTION.

Vermont soldiers performed so valiant
ly in the war in the various units to
which they were assigned that 1t would
seem right and proper for them to be
able to bring back to their home state
at least one Of the battle standards under
which they went into action in order that
the emblem, or emblems, might be placed
with the array of battle flags which now
find a place in the State House at Mont.
pelier, To be sure, the Vermont soldiers
did not enter the war as a distinct unit
Of military classification; but several
thousand of them were engaged at some
time or other in conjunction with the
troops Of other states grouped not as
representatives of states but as units Of
the United States army. There should
be battle flags enough to go around
among all the states; and it would be
only justice to apportion the flags among
the states according to their representa-.
bAoAf III tllt eGtFitGs llHbttb htHt4 Ge
very much to have at least one Of these
emblems so that future generations may
have some tangible evidence Of the part
which Vermont soldiers played in the
war of l0l4-l0l0. Such evidence placed
in the collection at the State House
would serve to inspire the patriotism of
future generations of Vermonters, as
well as to keep alive the spirit of state
pride We notice that already the state
Of Massachusetts has received some of
the standards which were used in over
seas service by the 3Olst regiment of

men will arrive home with little money

any serious consideration. Doubtless the
thought has not occurred 10 many people
and yet here is way in which most
material expression OF good will toward
the soldier boys may be manifested

fort to save the insurance for many a

CURRENT COMMENT
Keep Up the Insurance.

1t would be rather an excellent plan If
some organization in Burlington which
has in mind doing something for the sol
diers, to take up the matter of war in
surance.
There are a good many boys coming
back to Burlington in the near future
who have been carrying a $4,000 insur-
ance. During their term of service this
did not seriously inconvenience them, as
it was deducted from their pay. Now,
however it will be necessary for them to
act upon their own initiative and there
is considerable danger of a large proper
tion of the young men dropping this in
surance altogether.
The law permits these young men to
carry the policies at the present low rate
for the next five years, and then they
have the privilege of converting such pol
ieies in various ways For this convert
ed insurance the government win require
them to pay much less than the premium
rate of the regular insurance companies
and it is more or less important that
they should not relinquish such priv
ileges.
They may take out ordinary life pol
cies, 20-payment policies or endowment

WHAT VERMONT OFFERS TO SOL
DER FARMERS.

The Times is glad to see that the Yer
mont state agriculture department has
begun a movement destined to set be-
fore the men returning from war service
the desirability of acquiring Vermont
farm land as a foundation for business
success and at least a modicum of happi-
ness. The plan advanced by Secretary of
the Interior Lane for the colonization of
soldiers on large tract representing
perhaps 5000 cares does not commend it.

cause there are not 5000 acres in one
