EXPERIENCED LEGISLATORS.

The small towns being in such
large majority they undoubtedly will
prevent the elimination of town rep
resentation in Vermont. This should
be remembered in suggesting any
changes to the constitution of the
state. 1t is not so certain they would
oppose change in the term of office
for town representative if it could
secure more experienced members in
the state legislature, The efficiency of
experienced men ii" any undertaking is
generally recognized. In industry the
experienced man receives more COM
pensation for his service but in the
Vermont legislature he does not. There
fore majority of experienced mem
bers would reduce the cost of legsla-
tion and tend to reduce state expenses
SO we renew our suggestion that the
constitution be changed and the term
of a town representative be six instead
of two years and the terms of only one
third of the members expire in any two
year period. In other words, let one
third of the towns of the state in 1924
elect representatives FOR a term of two
years, one third for term of four
years and one third for term of six
years. Then, as the terms of represen-
tatives expire, elect representative
FOR +ar,Y1 Of CT
As soon as the new system was in
effect each legislature would have two
thirds of its members experienced leg
. islators. 1t would greatly expedite leg
islation and make it safer becauseA il
would be more intelligent. Public sen
timent could be expressed in the cleo
ton of the senate, the members of which
would be elected every two years as
now. No law could be passed without the
approval of the senate and that body
would be responsible to the sentiment
of the year in which they are elected
This change should be seriously con
sidered by the public and suggested te
the commission that is to prepare sug
gested changes too the next legisla
| ture.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when
you darken gray, faded hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth Sage and Sulphur
Compound, - you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, it is restored TO its natural color
and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.

that there may be monster barrage .
laid down on Governor p. w. Clement
by the equal suffrage women of Yer

special session for the ratification of
the suffrage amendment to the federal

as to whether any considerable portion
of Vermont women are so anxious for
the special session, with its very large
necessary extra cost. Secondly, it is
very doubtful as to whether, in view of
his stated position, the governor would

Flour

Indications are that bread
flours are going to be very
scarce in the East the balance
of the year.
Many Northwestern mills have
advanced prices $3.50 per bar
rel during the last go days on ac-
count of the advance in the
price of hard winter wheat and
choice spring wheat.
The spring wheat crop is about
one-half the size of that grown
in 1918. Now prices East have
not advanced, to any extent,
and we suggest you secure your
winter supply now.
The reason of this flour search
ty in the East, and in fact the
country over, is caused by the
ridiculous 60-day clause ruling
of the Food Administration. We
believe their ruling to a large
extent caused this sugar short
age, not allowing refineries to
conduct their own business or
purchase supplies in competition
with the foreigners; the result
is the foreigners obtained the
sugar.
