GOOD CROPS EXPECTED.
Government Inspector Visits Vermont
Not So Much Wheat and Beans.

RUTLAND, June 27.-V. A. Sanders.
crop reporter from the department of
agriculture, Washington, d. c., was in
Rutland yesterday for a conferences
with County Farm Agent M. +. Down
ing. Mr. Sanders is travelling through
New England, checking up the acreage
of all farm crops and COMPARING This
year particularly with 1916. before the
demands of the war diverted the farm
ers attention into certain less diyersi
fed channels.
Mr.. Sanders states that present indi
cations point toward very good crop
year. All crops are well advanced for
the season. the quantity is about as
usual and the quality very good indeed
as a trip through any farming district
will convince even the casual observer
The hay acreage over New England
generally is from 10 to - per cent less
than in 1916, increased tillage during
the war cutting down the production of
hay. The growing condition, however.
is very good, being we'll up to normal
and in Vermont it is especially good.
In some parts of New England the
farmers are already gathering the crop
while weather conditions are favorable.
Potato acreage is less than in 1916
and about - per cent less than during
the past two years, but will probably
be about normal as compared with be-
fore the war years
The bean acreage throughout New
England is about one half what it was
last year.
Wheat is cut from 90 to 60 per cent
in Vermont and 40 per cent in Rutland
county. but there is an increase in the
acreage of corn. oats and barley, both
in the state and throughout New Eng
land, as the farmers are endeavoring TO
produce more of the grains they have
to feed.
Prospects are very bright for fair
peach crop and very good apple crop.
The bloom was very heavy this wear
aid a good set, as the weather was gen
orally Favorable. -

A Laugh in Church.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear, wee woman of four;
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good; she had prom
ised,
And so, with her big, brown eyes,
She stared at the meeting house win
dows.
And counted the crawling flies. ~
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees
She thought of broken basket,
Where curIed in dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies, with fringy
ears
Lay Struggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle,
Such queer little hearts to beat,
Such swift, round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling. cushiony feet;
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny skin,
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimplcs under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over The parted lips
So quick that She could not catch it
With her rosy finger-tips.
The people whispered Bless the
child. -
As each one walked from nap.
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mother 5 lap. ~.

When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever.

RAILROADS IN CHINA.

It is just 43 years ago today that the first railroad in China was pub Hcly opened. This road ran a distance of II miles, from Shanghai to Woo sung. The puffing locomotives arous- ed consternation and fear in the hearts of the Chinese and the line had to be constantly guarded to pre- vent them from tearing up the track. So great was the public clamor that the government bought the road, in- tending to destroy it. This decision was reversed. and operations were re- sumed in 1877. In the following year however, the tracks were torn up and and all the portable property of the pioneer Chinese railway was removed to Formosa. In a few years other short lines were constructed, and the opposition of the natives gradually died out. The time table, however was carried around in the engineers head, ably assisted by the conductor. If they didn't get to their destination in one day, Why worry?

COMMONS REJECT
 PROPOSAL FOR
 LEVY ON CAPITAL

London, June 29-(Correspande of The Associated Press) )z<rhe House
 of Commons has rejecSed by vote of
 317 to z2 a proposal made by the LI5-
 era1 party an1~endorsed by the Labor
 party for q levy on capital as a means
 of discharging part of England's
 enormous war debt.
 Sir Donald Mclean, one of the Lib era1 leaders, in the debate preceding the vote, deprecated making the ques- ton one of party, as a capital levy he said was "an emergency proposal | to meet an emergency situation" The government, he said, had to choose between a levy on capital or a contin- l uance of the present heavy income tax for 30 or 50 years
 Austen Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, refused to consider the idea of such a levy. He said he would not even consent to a commit tee of investigation into the subject, because it's appointment would create fear and insecurity, and would dis
 turb the minds of people to whom we 1 must look for help in order to bring the finances of the country back into order"
 A portion of the London press has been dealing at considerable length recently W1tn the question or a capital levy. One of its principal proponents is C. F. G. Masterman, a. prominent Liberal.
 we have concluded the war; he argues, with deadweight debt bur- den of some eight thousand millions of pounds ($40,o00, 900, ,0O0). Interest and sinking fund on this debt will | amount to some four hundred million pounds year. Either that debt must be reduced by some heroic effort to l redeem the capital, or that interest l must be raised-.as a first charge on industry for an indefinite period of time, or the nation must repudiate its obligations" No other course, he as- serts, is possible
 The advocates of a capital levy, he
 explains, propose that a substantial portion of the country's debt shall be l liquideted by a graduated contribu- 1 tion from all who own more than a limited amount of the national wealth
