Farmers Are Going to Keep Accounts
This Year.

Buylington, April 14.-Probably
nothing has concerned the Vermont
farmer more in the past year than
has the price of milk. The majority
of milk producers have felt that there
has been little or no profit in produc'
ing milk. In order to establish fair
price for milk. they were asked to
furnish data on what it cost them TO
produce it. Only about one per cent
were able to respond with informa-
ton that was accurate TO any degree
OF satisfaction.
What will the situation be in 1919?
Are the farmers going to let the
matter slide? A gOOdly number of
the leading farmers in Addison,
Franklin, Rutland and Windsor coun-
ties have pledged themselves to keep
accurate figures on the cost of pro-
ducing milk along with their simple
farm accounts. They have been as
sisted by their county agent and the
Farm Management Demonstrators OF
the Agricultural Extension Service o.!
the University of Vermont. These
farmers are going to profit by expert
enct
There is nothing more important
for the protection of ones own bust
ness or the support of ones organiza.
tion than facts in regard to produc-
ton costs. They are simply essen
tial as basis for determining the
value of thing. Keeping simple
/ record of receipts and expenses dur
ing the year and taking an inventory
Of the farm property once year will
go long way in reaching this goal
Every farmer should obtain one OF
the Vermont Farmers Account Books
from his Farm Bureau and learn how
to keep accounts in a way that good
use can be made of them. They
are simple and they provide means
of summarizing the accounts at the
end of the year. At least every farm
er should keep some account book
and know how he stands.

Palm Sunday crowds today were OF

visitors paraded in the forenoon and
afternoon demonstrations.
The day began with series of

brightly again, and everyone focked
to the Boardwalk to take part in the
largest Palm Sunday pageant the city
has ever known.
The uncertain weather no doubt
caused SOME to postpone the wearing
OF new spring raiment, for the fash

part wore coat suits, usually OF dark
blue serge, or topped their new frocks
with cnpes. or sometimes a series OF

worn. The hats like the suits. were
often dark blue straw trimmed with

cation only after winning Prohibition.

The third great problem was to
divide the forces fighting for alcohol
In previous fights the saloon forces
always had the support of thousands
who stood by them not because they
favored the liquor traffic but because
they favored other things with which
the liquor traffic seemed inseparably
united By devising the plan OF local
option which permitted the citizens
to take political action on the saloon
question, separate and apart from
from action on other political ques-
tons, the liquor forces were com
PEELED to stand alone. Citizens were
given the opportunity to express
themselves directly on the saloon

When Howard II. Russell decided
TO give his life TO help eXterminate
the liquor traffic, he looked over the
field and saw that king alcohol com
manded a united army, while the
forces for temperance were scattered
everywhere. Here and there he saw
anti-alcohol organizations lighting
valiantly, desperately, but separately
In his study OF the field Russell saw
not only the scattered companies OF
temperance warriors. but also great
multitude who should have been
lighting against alcohol but were
either not fighting at all, or indiffer-
entity, many OF them unconsciously
fighting for the saloon forces.
How TO unite all who were actively
or passively opposed TO the liquor
traffic was RusselPs first great prob
lem. He solved this problem by
formulating plan under which all
the foes OF liquor could unite regard
less of their differences in respect to
other things. Thus the AntiSaloon
League combined into one organiza-
ton. people from all churches and all
political parties. making OF the Anti
Saloon League an omnipartisan, in

campaigns against the saloon with

Education must needs be supple
mented by the removal of the pres
ence OF the drug itself. Therefore the
true organic treatment for the world
today must consist OF two parts
education, which strikes at the de-
mand, and Prohibition, which strikes
at the supply. These two instru-
mentalities must go hand in hand
The education instrument is the more
fundamental and has largely to pre-
cede and completely to follow the
Prohibition instrument but let us not
forget for an instant that the Prohi-
hibtion OF the traffic in alcohol is TO-
day an absolute necessity for the
world.

Prohibition Helps
Shorten Hours and
Raise Workers Wage
Records in Dry States Prove
Benefits Of Saloons Closing

Prohibition does not hurt but helps
labor. is the claim OF John +. Cum
neen of Chicago, a union machinist,
who has made a careful study OF the
labor problem. A.
From the study OF reports in vari-
Gus labor papers and from officers OF
labor unions, MIR. Cunncen found
that wages are increased in Prohibi-
ltion states and that there is also an
increase in the number OF union
members. The detailed report of Mr.
Cunneen's findings shows that prac-
tically all branches OF union labor in
dry states have received benefits in
the way of shorter working hours and
higher wages. In connection with the
facts he presents. Mr.. Cunneen
makes the following comments on
the effect OF Prohibition upon the
welfare OF workingmen:
Whenever a wet and dry contest
was on III any state or city the liquor
interests invariably predicted that il
the Prohibition policy won it would
bring ruin to the workingman So
now with the 18th amendment ratified
and with War Prohibition close at
hand the liquor interests are endeav-
oring to arouse workngmeu to join 4
rebellion against the government on
the grounds that their personal lib
eriy has been infrinRed upon and that
IT will bring financial ruin TO them.
Official figures from various dry
states and dry cities show how the
workingman has benefited by in
creased wage when saloons we're
closed.
The United States Bureau OF
Census report oil manufacture for
1910 shows an increase OF wage earn
ers of s. per cent in Prohibition
states and an increase of wages of
the increase was so and oil per cent
respectively. These figures conclus-
lively prove: first, that closing saloons
does not make less employment for
the Workingman. but on the other
hand increases employment; second,
that worktngmen do not shun the dry
town and state but rather that their
number increase in these commune
ties; third. that with increased en-
ployment and with increased number
of workingmen, wages also in
creased
at will be said that wages we're
also increased in wet territory on ac-
count OF war conditions. but the rec
ords show that the working people
received great increases in dry terri
tory because they are worth more.
Absence OF liquor always makes for
better conditions among working peo-
pie. The gains are made without in
jury to employees. Prohibition helps
all"
The actual experiences OF working
men in dry territory have been so
favorable to them that outside of the
wet centers the liquor people will
have little success in their efforts to
use labor in campaign ,agains. the
enforcement OF Prohibition laws.
