Academy Notes

Miss Mary L. Cady, educational
secretary for the National Board of
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tons spoke to the girls of the Acad-
envy Monday afternoon in chapel.
Her subject was "Choice of Vocation
for Girls"
The American girl of today has
an endless choice of vocations, yet
that choice is often indef lite. Most
girls need to be helped in making a
definite choice. Every girl unless I'M
usual, has a life job One should look
at ones self from the eyes of some
one else in order to avoid the old
story "of making round pig fit a
square hole"
Statistics show that in the middle
ages, two out of every seven women
arc working outside of the home.
Think of the rest who are engaged in
housework. In regard to character
qualities, Miss Cady stated that stick
to-itivencss is the most essential. The
ability to stick to job is most i'm
portant to a high school girl.
There isn't anything permanently
worth while that does~'t involve
drudgery. If you have in you no
ability to stick to thing, yo" will
not be a success, OF not until you
have overcome that weakness. Brains
are not as necessary to success in
life rs will power. Power Of con-
centration and willingness to go
through hard things will win out. An
ordinary brain and strong will pow
er is to be preferred to Il good brain
and flabby will power.
As for training, Don't try to take a
short cut, by dropping out of high
school, into the business world. Don't
worry because you can't sec i'm" cdi-
ate good in what you are studying.
Stay in school and do your work well
unless you do, later in life, you will
come to an important barrier, you
will have a door closed in your face.
Get the utmost training while you
can. Lack of money or social pull
cannot bar girl from training, girl
who has grit and will power and the
desire to go on. The demand today
is for the women who arc thoroughly
trained. With only a high school
education you can't hold the his nest
kind Of job.
IL conclusion of her address, Miss
Cady said, "You can be practically
anything you choose if you first find
out what you are fitted for and then
use your grit and VIII power"

Famers Should Support County Fair

Iceland A. Wood in the Caledonia
= Farm Bureau)
{ The Caledonia County fair was a
success financially, and l wish to
publicly congratulate the manage
1nent, especially Mr.. Cary and Mr..
Hartman, for placing the Caledonia
County Fair again on it's feet. There
is Just one question that every farm
ar should ask himself. Should a
county fair be place for sports, a
midway, racing and entertainment
OF. should it be place where farmers
shall gather to see the best cattle,
the best horses, the best produce of
all kinds that are raised in the coun-
try: a place where the fruits of en-
deavor, the results of years in ex-
peiience in breeding can be seen; a
place where the young farmer will
see the very best agricultural pro-
ducts possible to produce in that
section; a place the farm boy and
girl may become so stimulated and
enthused by the wonders of the farm
products that he OF she will resolve
to make their home forever on the
farm. There certainly was very lit
tie at the Caledonia County fair that
u County Agent could show which
would prove that this county is the
wonder county of Vermont where
the best products and the best cattle
are developed.
The favorite comment by the av-
erage farmer was 81 have better
than that at home" The only way tc.
prove that statement is to bring the
products, go into competition, and
see who has the best. The favortc
excuse for not exhibiting was lack
of TINE. Why not be honest and call
it TICK of courage.
The real reason that most men do
not exhibit is because they arc afraid
they will get beaten. | have heard
rumors of raw deals, but why lay this
up against the precsnt management,
of the fair? Resolve to show your
cattle, your horses, or your agricul-
al products another year. Find out
whether yours are better than the
other fellows.
Make the fair place where the
people not only have good time,
but see the very best that Caledonia
County produces.

 The cost of living Is no chimera. It is a real thing, and cannot be over come by the pursuit of chimeras IL IS the legitimate result or the war, 4Hd infation. Congress cannot reduce 1t by legislation, and higher wages will only increase it Govern-,e7t ownc-- ship. meaning higher taxation, wtH certainly not reduce it. It can only be overcome by thrift. indiuidualseco- nomy, judieious expenditure for things actually needed, and lessened taxation.
 Finding scapeeoat may be an amusing and divertipg experience, but it will avail nothing. Bricks cannot be made without straw, and mi1lers cannot make chean four out of dear wheat. nor can bakers produce cheap bread from expensive flour made from high priced wheat. lay high priced labor. using ingredients that have doubled and tribled in value since 1914.
 It cannot be done. Government may seize and operate all the elevators. mills, bakeries and retail stores in the United States, substitute politicians for business men. and professors and theorists for practical operators, and still, with wheat at s2-2S bushel it cannot be done. It is human irn- comp1ish it. and Congress lacks the divinity that makes miracles possible.

CHEAP WHEAT MEANS CHEAP FLOUR

The prioe Of hour with wheat at two dollars and twenty-six cents a bushel could easily have been figured out by any schoolboy who had mast cred the multiplication table, when the wheat guaranty bill was passed who cared to take his pencil in hand might have accomplished the same simple task, writes Wm. c. Edgar, editor of the Northwestern AMiller. s ts Mss h;n ne mys1sTg, h yet ,e;. after I pass Yidins\ by another act for admin ister- ing it's provisions. Washington auth critics suddenly awake to the fact thar the price of a barrel of flour is make somebody suffer for it
 Salaried men not belonging to un- ions and unable to strike for fn- men and clerks, men and women of fixed and limited incomes. all such realized what would be the price of flour. but when the wheat guaranty bill was being considered they were ignored; the farmer must be en- wheat, and money was the only in ducement that would reach him.
 When the representatives of pow erful railway unions protested against the high cost of. living and demand ed that. having themselves received the maximum nay they could expect, 1t should be lowered, it was an en- tirely different matter Something must he done about it mediately and therefore Washington is aroused, and ready to take drastic action.
 The first thing to do is to find a scapegoat, and -four, being pre- emi- nent among the daily needs, although inhnitesima in the sum of the in- dividuaIs annual expenditure, one barrel sufficing to supply him for an entire year, which even at present prices represents the magnificent outlay of less than four cents a day, is selected for the sacrifice.
 The farmer. who receives two dol lars and twenty-s six cents for a bushel of wheat. is, of cource, ignored. No one in Washington would dare accuse him of profiteering. but the miller and the baker are not exenpt, and upon them must fall the brunt of the first savage onslaught.
 Here are the figures, based on Minneapelis:
 $2.26 cost of a bushel of wheat. I4 1-2 number of bushels to barrel of a9us slej7 eest of wheat in barrel af eel,ing aauf eossG,11.s sls9 sRsnufaeturing and

BEARER WARRANTS.

Uncle Sans tax collectors have just discovered the new tax dedging trick known as bearer warrants" whose invention and use is ascribed to our frugal friends. the packers. Where it has been put into practice, and dis covered. it leads to a new set of trou- bles for them and others.
 It is well to know how it works. if for no other reason than to keep away from it, now that Uncle Sam's tax Eleuths are snifhng on it's trail. Here is how it goes: If you own a stock certificate, take 1t to the treasury of your company; endorse it over to him; have a new certificate made cut to him; but have him give you a re- ceipt and demand order on himself for that particular certificate of stock. being careful that the number of the certificate is stated in this 'sbearer warrant" which he gives you. Fake this home and put it in the family Bible
 When the tax assessor asks yeu to state, under oath. what stocks you ewn. of course you do not mention this stock that has been issued in the name of the treasurer, because you really do not own 1t until it is issued to you in your, oEn name, ar enSerped oEe<5t1 szhsrkzA ssesaen<1a1 a1

WORK AND SAVE.

Herbert Hoover. the worlds food director, and President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university, one in a statement issued in London and the other sleaking at Santa Barbara, California, arrive at the same conclusion in applying the same remedy to America and the world to meet intelhgently the existing con- ditions and conditions that will yet have to ha faced. They each declare emphatica-ly that the remedy is only through work. hard work to produce all we can of the things men need; and added to this is the necessity for saving. as individuals. as families. as municipalities
 European populations must realize. says Mfr Hoover. that productivity must instantly be increased. for the entire surplus proGuctivity of the Western Hemisphere is tatally incap- able of meeting the deficiency of Eu- rope if long continued. In rigid price fixing President Butler sees no real remedy for the high cost of living. He finds currency i1f1ation an evil, but thinks any sudden attempt to correct it might bring new evils in it's train. He perceivas in shorten hours and war denerskzation the req sons for lesser production. Nevertheless he would nos attack the eight-hour da2 for most occups tions. but would emt phasize the necessity of balancing it's effects with those of improved ma chinery in manufa cture and of more intensive methods in agriculture.
 In largely increased productivity lies one of the answers to making the dollar worth what it was before the war.

Be Careful.

It is said that among the high Alps at certain seasons the traveller is told to proceed quietly, for on the steep slope overhead the snow hangs so evenly balanced that the sound of voice or the report of gun may destroy the equilibrium and bring down an immense avalanche that will overwhelm everything with ruin in its downward course. And so about cur way there may be soul in the very crisis of it's moral history, trembling between life and death and a mere touch or shadow may de- termine it's destiny.
