Vermont's State Holiday
BURLINGTON Free PresS)

Bennington Battle day has come
and on the anniversary it is well for
US to remember that our forefathers
fought for as the goal which we as
people should still have in mind. 50
many foreign ideas have been graft
ed on the tree of liberty that we are
in danger of forgetting what real
Americanism means. Our forefathers
fought not only for the right to rule
themselves but also for the right to
think for themselves. Are you letting
somebody do your thinking for you?
If so you are not democratic or AM
erican. Are you trying to rule your
neighbor? Remember that he has as
much right to rule himself as you
have to rule yourself. That is what
we mean by freedom and equality.

HEARST PATRIOTISM

The New Republic has exposed an
other typical bit of patriotism of the
Hearst publication-The Boston
American. 1t shows that this sheet
which howled loud and long for SIX
months pay for Uncle Sans soldiers
carried out its usual policy of hiring
back the soldiers for few weeks and
when they asked for a living wage
fired them.
This action is along the line of this
same publication-pleading for funds
to upbuild France and then when the
war was over forgetting all about
poor France and it's ruins.

Gov. Coolidge, that most excellent
governor of Massachusetts, has been
visiting Vermont, his native state.
The governor was born in Plymouth
and although he has long lived IN
the Bay state he retains a warm at
lection for the old Green Mountain
state. He is filling the gubernatorial
chair with great honor and we Yer
monters have reason to be justly
proud of him. Here is another inn
portant fact that should not be over

is also a Vermonter, native OF Bur
lington. This undoubtedly has con-
siderable to do with the governors

1t Is an easy matter to overfeed
fowls. Bear this, in mind unless the
fowls are on range.
Hens that are laying are not likely

not laying that they do so.

of it. This is how they keep them
selves free of vermin and well.

the heavy breeds for two seasons.
Good layers are bred up and not fed
up. All the feeding in the world can
not induce a naturally nonproductive
hen to change her nature.
A trap nest is the one accurate way
to tell whether you are keeping pay
ing flock, but the poultryman who
keeps it must look after the nest in q
proper way.
If you have made failure Of every
thing else, don't think the chicken
business will prove to be life saver.
1t requires not only brains, but an
overplus Of energy.
Chickens never wash, as many other
birds do but cleanse themselves of in
sects by wallowing in soil. For this
reason every poultry house should be
provided with dust box.
Five eggs out Of every 100 are
spoiled by being fertile. Producing in

but the removal of The rooster from

USEFUL FOR farm HAULING
New Element In Transportation Prob.
lem Should Be Considered While
Studying Reorganization Of
Transportation System.

G. A. Morse, assistant director Of op-
Grafton of the United States rail-
way administration, and one Of the
best known railroad men In America,
believes that the motorcar may doom
the short-rall lines Of the country.
"The perfection of the motortruck,
together with the universal use Of the
ment in the transportation problem
that should be taken into consideration
at this time, while studying the reor-
ganization of the whole transportation
system" said Mr.. Morse.
"Where, therefore, the development
Of the country for 80 miles on either
side Of trunk line has required the
construction Of light branch lines, It
Is question to be seriously consid-
cred whether this policy should be
continued or whether the products of
the farm should not be handled by mo.
torcar to the main lines"
Situation Not Surprising.
The situation described by Mr..
Morse Is not surprising to makers of
motorcars designed especially for
farmers needs. Purchases by farmers
or business cars of medium capacity
have increased enormously during the
last year. Their wide touring radius
and low haulage cost have enabled the
farmer not only to curtail freight
charges on purchases of building ma
terial, implements. seed. groceries, etc,
but to take immediate advantage of
the prices ar the most advantageous
markets.
Even sheep and calves are rapidly
transported to market so miles dis
tant without the delay incident to the
use of the railroads.
Horse Most inefficient.
During the war prominent en-
gineer made the statement that the
horse was the most inefficient machine
used In America. No one has been
quicker to recognize this than the
farmer. The short haulage radius Of
the horse, its low rate Of speed, the
continually rising cost of feed and the
Important fact that horse continues
to eat whether he Is In the field or In

that he could save money and gain
speed by motorizing his transporta-
ton. Having purchased business car

f. II. Akers, Chicago, manager of
q large automobile concern, has pre-
scented the results of some investiga-
tlons relative to motor stages and
freight lines.
While Mr.. Akers believes In COM
mon with many other automobile men
that rural express lines have future
before them, he has run across sew
eral problems which must be met and
solved before they can be a complete
success. He advocates the establish
ment Of a rural express commission
operating under the state government,
and regulating rates, competition, ETC.,
as q protection to this very young In.
dustry. Here Is case which Mr..
Akers investigated:
"Not long ago one of our truck deal
ers in Washington saw very feasible
untraversed motor express route be-
tween small town and fairly good
sized city. A young clerk in clothing
store had consistently saved his mon
ey-had been reading the govern
ment's propaganda-and saw in the
rural express idea an opportunity Of
becoming his own boss--a proprietor
Of a rural express line-with every
chance to expand. The young man
enlisted the help Of the truck dealer.
Together they canvassed the mer-
chants in the town and were assured
Of enough business to make the line
pay. providing q reasonable amount
Of freight could be secured In the
city to haul back.

truck and soon had thriving little

business. Then another truck dealer
got busy and persuaded another man
to enter the business. A truck dealer
in the city at the other end Of the
line induced man there to inaugu-
rate line on the same route. Shortly
there were four competitors on the
one line and when the business was
split four times there was not enough
money left to pay gasoline bills.
Commission Needed.
"TIad properly constituted COM
mission been established with the nee.
essary authority to grant franchises
and limited the route to two competi-
tors the enterprise would have been
success. With the franchise there
would naturally go some undertakings
on the part Of the truck owner. For
example, he would have to give a
bond to deliver on schedule the same
as the parcel post contractor In any
city, with penalty attached for fall
ure. Rates would be established by
this commission. A truck owner
should not be compelled to make rates
so low that he can't give good serv-
fee or yet, because of his franchise,
be allowed to charge exorbltant rates.
"The return loads bureau, which Is
another factor In conducting the rural
express system, Is something else that
will need careful attention. The evil
Of all loads being return loads, will
be menace to the rural express
system unless carefully guarded
against. 1t is the greatest system of
