Another important decision of the Yale
corporation has to do with faculty sala-
ries. In the future no man with the title
of professor will receive less than 1900 a

the men already paid more than 1900. but
action on their cases will not be taken
until it is undetermined just what their
duties are under the scheme Of university
reorganization soon to go into effect.
The people of Burlington and Of Yer
mont in general recall tho predicament in
which tho University Of Vermont was
left, when the war department suddenly
announced the discontinuance Of the war
training started last season. Most Of our
Institutions Of learning have war-legacies
in the shape of heavy deficits and there
are only scant prospects that the immedl-
ate future has in store any great finan-
cial relief. Because there have been so
many other Gains upon men of means.
gifts to colleges have been neither as fire.
quent nor as large as in years past. In
other words, endowment funds as a rule
have stayed virtually stationary while ex-
penses have mounted with leaps and
bounds.
1t follows that If the cost Of living in
general has risen, the cost Of operating
and maintaining colleges and universities
has also advanced materially. This Is as
true Of Vermont as Of other States. The
young people Of Vermont are fortunate,
however. owing to the fact that as yet tut
ton in our institutions Of higher educa-
ton is about where it was before the
war began.

SUMMARY OF TESTERS REPORTS FOR MARCH

$2O,OOO.00 to owners Of tuberculosis affect
ed animals. When the test was conduct
ed by an employe Of the State and fed
eral departments of agriculture, acting
jointly a signed agreement was entered
into with the owner for the observance
of certain uniform methods and rules
for tuberculosis-free accredited herds.
Under this system, a small number of
entire herds were placed on the "tuber-
culosis- free accredited list
The new measure provides in part that
payment for reactng cattle will be made.
provided the owner of the reacting cat
tie and the owner or owners from whom
such cattle have within ninety days been
bought, has tested his entire herd or
herds within one year in accordance
with the regulations prescribed by said
commissioner under section five hundred,
or provided the owner or owners Of such
herd or herds from whom the cattle
were bought shall agree to test such
entire herd or herds under said regula-
lions. in which case the claim shall not
be paid until such entire herd or herds
have been tested"
This provision makes 1t clear that erad-
ication of tuberculosis is the main aim
rather than insurance to those who
formerly tested part of their herd only
when required to do so when they wished
to ship cattle out Of the state. Since
tuberculosis can be transmitted to chill
dren by feeding them unpasteurized milk
from tubercular animals. we should safe
guard our public health and submit our
animals for test. especially since an
indemnity is paid to the owner If the ami
NAL proves infected.
There are now 16 accredited herds
(passed 2 annual or semi-annual tests
without reactors) in Vermont and 1873
herds have passed one clean test. There
are 34S herds now under supervision. ZIG
of which are purebred. With this foun-
dalton and constructive law in force,
Vermont bids we'll to become a center
of clean herds. Owners desiring to have
| their herds tested should communicate
with this department

WE'LL DONE, VERMONT!

In the breat Victory Liberty Loan drive
the Green Mountain State has won new
glory 1t not only exceeded Its quota in
tho number Of bonds taken but It leads
the Union In the proportion Of towns that
went 'over the top by taking far more
bonds than were assigned to them. Out
OF 2i7 cities and towns In the State no less
than 1874, or more than half, exceeded
their quotas many Of them performing
this feat in a drive Of a single day. The
example of Colchester deserves special
mention because Chairman E. 8. Wright
of that town, owing to the bad condition
OF some Of the roads, visited many homes
on foot. but under his leadership the
town exceeded It's quota, State Chairman
L. Il, Morse of Rutland and Chairman
Warren r. Austin who had charge Of the
work In Chittenden county are to be con-
graduated upon the splendid results
achieved.

IMMERSED in war as the average American.
A great many. in fact the majority. were

THE CANDY RATION
From the INDIANAPOLIS News)

ttTOm the Indianapolis NeWs)
While hostilities were in progress most
of the American fighting men ate such
food as they could get. and were glad Of
the chance. That was especially true If
they were in the battle zones. When
near enough to canteens or huts they
could purchase chocolate and hard candy,
but the supply was limited. Since the
armistice was signed the war department
seems determined that every soldier re-
naming overseas shall have enough
candy and perhaps some extra to make
up for lost time.
Up to the time the armistice was signed
7.615.b95 pounds Of candy had been ship
ped abroad. Since then the war depart
ment has placed orders for 1000 900
pounds "of the best candy made and
II. 600 900 pounds Of that order already has
been shipped. The greatest increase in
candy shipments comes as the result of
the introduction of a candy ration. This
gives every man one-half pound of candy
every 10 days. Thus 3,495 900 pounds of
| candy was required to take care of the
| first allotment. Mrs. Gertrude Ather on.
the writer protested against sending chew
ing gum to France lest the French people
adopt the American habit, but the wal
department sent 900 packages of gum
as this months overseas shipment. Gum
seems to be in greater demand during
cold weather than In warm. Summer
shipments only average about 150O, 00l
packages monthly. The increase In
candy shipments should bring about a
lessening Of the demand for gum.

HIGHER EDUCATION HIGHER

Even the colleges and universities are
beginning to reflect the influence of the
high cost of living. Some time ago Dart
mouth and the Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology found it necessary to Sc
cure larger fees for tuition and now Yale
University announces an early increase
in its tuition fees. That corporation has
voted to levy on all students entering next
fall and thereafter a charge of $240 a year.
This represents an increase of $40 in the
Shefhld Scientific school and of $50 in the
college itself. 1t is specifically stated.

THE WORLD CAPITAL.

tFrom the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Geneva, the city chosen to be the
seat of the League of Nations. is a
French city in all but name. The can
ton of Geneva Is almost surrounded
by French territory. The Genevese are
of French blood and speak the French
language. During the great war their
sympathies were overwhe lmingly
with France and Frances allies,
1t Is fitting that a neutral nation
has been given the honor of being
host to the governing bodies of the
League of Nations. 1t is also fitting
that a city has been selected (which
has manifested an ardent sympathy
with the cause Of democracy. Brussels
was passed over because Belgium was
not neutral. The Hague was not
chosen because of the divided sym.
pathies of the Dutch people. Geneva
10 an ideal selection and the fact that
1t is one Of the most beautiful of citie,
only serves to make more impre ssivs
the fitness of the choice.

WHY MEAT AND MILK ARE DEAF

In spite Of constant repetition Of rea-
sons why prices are high in different d.
rections, people are still saying among
themselves. the high cost Of living must
come down. Even men and women who
have Just struck for higher wages and
helped to boost the cost Of living in
some particular direction, arc trying to
pull down the wages Of others. by in
sisting that the products Of the latter
shall be sold for less than at present.
The world is rapidly learning that SO
long as the cost Of the actual necessaries
Of life are high wages must be high and
the products Of that labor high. When
the farm Is able to make food cheaper,
then we may expect lower cost of living
and not before. We have shown that the
ensuring Of high price Of American
wheat by the Wilson administration makes
it ridiculous to look for cheaper bread
this year or the next. Flour. potatoes,
milk and meat are the absolute necessi-
ties Of life for the different ages Of HUI
man beings. We have only to look at To-
cal conditions to realize that meat and
milk cannot be lower owing to the lack
of home supply and the foreign demand.
We in Burlington are paying in the Vi
cinity Of $500 per 100 pounds for cereals.
That means the farmer is paying corre-
spending sums for grain for his dairy
and for the fattening Of his beef and pork
are paying from $50 to sa5 for hay for
their dairies. where they are short. Yet
the price Of dairy cows continues high.
The Malone Telegram shows what con-
ditions are prevailing in northern New
York as follows:
At nearly all of the farm auction
sales which have been held in this vi
entity during the present MONTH dairy
cows have sold at remarkably high prices,
in one instance the average on the sale
of herd Of upwards Of twenty cows
being over SEQ per head At another re-
cent sale the average was $l2O. This is
another indication Of the great improve
ment in the quality of dairy stock which
has taken place in Franklin county in
recent years. Cows which produce six
ty pounds Of milk per day are not I'M
common in the diaries Of local farmers
and some cows that have produced nine
ty pounds per day in record tests are to-
day owned in Franklin county.
While dairymen are paying from 800 to
$50 for cows. from $3.50 to $500 for feed.
from $50 UP for hay. and from $40 to $50
a month and board for hired men," more
than double In most cases the prices OF
two years ago even 1t is worse than fu-
tile to talk about the lower cost Of liv-
ing Until you are willing to take less
for your work than you are now receiv-
ing It is almost criminal for you to ash
other wage earners to come down ir
their wages.
