MONTPELIER

In Montpelier city court a plea of not
guilty was entered in the case of State
VS. W. 0. Lowe, charged with selling
mortgaged property. This is one of the
three cases which are pending. Lowe was
in court some time since and bail fixed
but this has not been furnished and Lowe
went to Jail. Bail in other cases has also
been fixed. A hearing will take place
later in the matter.
The will of Rachel T. Johonnott was
presented Monday for probate, John A.
Hutchinson, through his attorney, Il. NJ
Harvey, has settled his account in pro-
bate court Of the estate of Ella Bannister
late of Roxbury. J. w. Carver has set
tied his final account as trustee of the
estate of Oliver J. L. Matthews, late Of
Barre City. He settled his account as
administrator some time since but as
trustee had to wait until the widow and
two children were located in France,
which has occurred.

Gillett's Election a Symptom.

The election of F. H. Gillett of Massa-
chusetts as speaker of the House is the
selection Of a choice representative Re
publican to that position and 1t indicates
also the determination Of the ruling
party to put forward as its representa-
tive men those who are forward minded
and who stand for progress. MFR, Mann,
who stood for the backward looking ele.
ment, was at first supposed to be sure Of
the position. Possibly he would have
been chosen If the election of speaker
had followed close on the election Of
members.
However, when it dawned on the Amer
lean public, and especially on the Repub-
licans who think more of the future than
of the past, that this might happen,
there was such an outbreak of sentiment
against the scheme that it was killed by
public opinion. Mann was admittedly
pro German. and, whatever Chicago or a
few other centers may say, that viii not
go down with the average American. He
was reactionary and was backed by that
monument of reaction, old joe Can
non, a genial old gentleman, whom they
all call "Uncle joe and delight to honor
as an individual, but do not care to fol.
low in the year 1919.
Gilett is a gentleman of high personal
character, independent and intelligent,
and he will, of course, make a speaker
of ability and fairness But the best Of
it is that he viii be accepted as the sort
of man whom the Republican party
chooses as its representative, Hartford
Conn Courant.

STATE POLICIES RECOMMENDED.
In First Report Submitted by Vermont
Board Of Control.

The Vermont state board of control
has made the following recommendations
in its first report:
l. That the Legislature consider the
advisability Of installing modern
sprinkler system in the capital, in order
TO provide adequate protection in case
Of fire and to lower rates of insurance.
2. That the legislature, for like rea-
sons, consider the matter of fire pro-
lection of all state institutions
8 That the legislature consider the
matter Of insurance on state property
1t is urged that the legislature deter
mine whether or not the state should,
by sinking fund or otherwise, provide
its own insurance on all or part of state
property.
4. That in the appropriations for and
erection of new buildings at state in
stitutiOns hereafter, due care should be
exercised that such materials and archi-
lecture be selected as viii best conform
to future development of the institu-
tons
5. That the overhead expense of con
Quoting the I. n, Vail agricultural school
and farms is too great a burden on the
state to warrant its continuance for the
relatively small number of students
available. The property is larger than
is necessary for an agricultural school,
and the problem of supervising the insti-
tuition is greater than providing educa-
tiQn for the number of students in at
tendance. In the near future, large re-
placement costs to meet depreciation will
be required Recommended that the in
coming governor interview Mr.. Vail in
regard to the future policy of the school.
6. That the house of correction should
be combined with the state prison at
Windsor, to save large overhead ex-
penses. The state prison is adequate to
accommodate the present needs as to
size and in addition has splendid farm
and adequate facilities for working
thereon prisoners not desired TO be con.
fined within the state prison.

A WELCOME TO MAJOR GENERAL
EDWARDS.

In an unpretentious way the people of
Barre and the surrounding towns wish
to convey to Major General Clarence r.
Edwards to-day their appreciation of his
leadership of the Goth (New England)
division during the greater part of its
battle service in the great war, They
feel keen satisfaction over the quality of
that leadership and they express conf
dence that whatever could have been
done for the men in that well known
fighting unit was done under the direc-
ton of Major General Edwards. So it is
with pleasure they welcome that com
handing officer into their midst and they
trust that some measure of the sincere
good viii of the people of Vermont will
be conveyed to him through the medium
OF the hospitality extended this day.
Barre has no desire that its hospitality
shall stand out in the long list of cour-
tesies extended to him but desires rather
that its presentation shall serve merely
as one reminder of the kindly feeling
which all New England feels toward him.
Therefore, in the name of the people of
Barre and vicinity, The Times extends
this printed word of welcome, hoping for
Major General Edwards a pleasant stay
in this community.

The Grand Trunk railway, forced to
compete to a certain extent with Amer
lean railways, found it hard work with
out the lavish financial support which
tie United States government has given
to the American lines. That may ex-
plain in part the necessity for the ap-
pointment of receiver to take over the
operation of the Grand Trunk. Another
drag on the Grand Trunk no doubt was
the department which had to do with the
owning and operating of a chain of ho-
tells in connection with the railroad.
American railroads would find them
selves very much handicapped were they
saddled with the burden of running ho-
tells too,

1t will be a graceful act on the part of
the Vermont Press association to erect
memorial tablet at East Poultney in
memory of Horace Greeley, who built
the foundation for his great journalistic
career in little printshop in the small
Vermont village. Vermont has sent out
some eminent journalists in national life,
and perhaps the greatest of them was
Horace Greeley. A tablet erected in hon
or of him at East Poutney will serve to
remind Vermont people of the honor that
was their states and may serve as an in
centiye to great effort on the part of
some Of the rising generations in Yer
mont.

The sight of President Wilson, Demo
crat, and ex-President Taft, Republican,
swinging across the stage of the Metro
politan opera house in New York, arm in
arm, must have been 80 unusual as to
cause much of the uproar of enthusiasm
that greeted their appearance. If Presi-
dent Wilson and Senator Lodge should
do the same act, the audience would
probably be struck dumb.

THE LEGISLATORS SAL
AIRY.

JUMPING THE LEGISLATORS SAL
AIRY.
The lump sum salary for legislators
started from the idea that it was desir-
able on behalf of the state because the
limited amount paid would have a tend
ency to restrict the length of the bien-
NAL terms, the argument being that the
legislators would plan not to stay be-
yond the limit for which the stated
amount would be fair compensation,
whereas with a per diem stipend they
might be apt to prolong their stay at
Montpelier somewhat unnecessarily. 1t
was argued that the expenses to the
state might be cut to reasonable bounds
thereby. But the theory does not reckon
accurately with human nature. If the
average legislatures are inclined to take
their own head in the matter and reach
final adjournment at leisure, it might
probably be expected, too, that if the
lump sum fixed did not seem to be com
mensurate with the volume of work they
had to accomplish they would 60 step
further and summarily increase the lump
sum. Then the state would be no better
off than if it continued to pay a per diem
stipend. Hence the system of paying
per diem for the length of stay in service
may work out to better advantage after
all if the legislatures are not too dilatory
in their actions. There will not be great
regret, therefore, that the House killed
the measure recently for a lump sum
salary for the members of hte general
assembly.

Col. Ira /. Reeves, former professor of
military science and tactics at the Uni
versity Of Vermont and more recently
president of Norwich university, finds
himself right in his element as president
of the new American Army university,
which has been opened in Beaune, in the
southern part of France. He should be
able to serve very acceptably in such a
position.

Marshal Joffre, the man who stopped

the proposed league of nations, his posi-
tion indicating that there is promise of
much accomplishment through the pro-

in the United States, who are far re-
moved from old world intrigue, should

Young chicks may be fed any fine
after they are thirty-siX to forty-eight
hours old whether they are with hen
the first feeding are moistened hard
boiled eggs, johnnyeake, stale bread,
oatmeal or rolled oats, which may be
fed separately or in combination.
Washes mixed with milk are of con-
siderable value in giving the chicks
good start. The mixture should be fed
in a crumbly mash and not in sloppy
condition. Johnnycake composed of
the following ingredients in the pro-
portion named is a very good feed for
young chicks: One dozen infertile eggs
or one pound of sifted beef scraps
to ten pounds of cornmeal; add enough
milk to make pasty mash and one
tablespoonful of baking soda and bake
until done. Dry bread crumbs may be
mixed with hard-boiled eggs, making
about one-fourth of the mixture eggs,
or rolled oats may be used in place of
bread crumbs.
1t is a good plan to give these feeds
about five times daily for the first
week, then gradually substitute for
one or two of these feeds a mixture
of finely cracked grains of equal parts
by weight of cracked wheat and finely
cracked corn and pinhead oatmeal or
hulled oats, to which about per cent
of cracked peas or broken rice and
per cent of charcoal or millet or rape
seed may be added. A commercial
chick feed may be substituted if de-
sired. This ration may be fed until
the chicks are two weeks old, when
they should be placed on grain and
dry or wet mash mixture.
Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily, but if care
is given not to overfeed chicks will
grow faster when fed five times per
day. Young chicks should be fed not
more than barely enough to satisfy
their appetites and to keep them ex-

Hopper Feeding Saves Labor and Fur
nishes Desirable Supplementary
Feed for Hens.

Ground feeds are necessary for most
efficient digestion in poultry. Hopper.
feeding saves labor and furnishes the
necessary supplementary feed at all
times. There is no danger of poultry
oYereating ON ground feeds fed dry in
a hopper. The University of Missouri
college of agriculture Is recommend
ing the hopper as a labor saver in the
poultry yard.
Limestone grit or oyster shell is also
necessary for laying hens. a laying
hen requires large quantities of shell
making material. Nearly all Of this
must come from the grit and shell she
eats. 1t is poor economy not to keep
a liberal supply accessible. One ex-
ira egg a year viii pay the bill. 1t
returns the money invested a hundred
fold.
Chickens raised on range can be pro-
duced much more economically than
those kept closely confined around the
farm buildings. Not only is less feed
required, but the danger from disease
Is reduced. The edge of the cOrnfield
makes an ideal poultry range. Chick
ems grow best on plowed ground and
the corn furnishes shade, which is es-
sentlal during the summer. Under
such conditions, pound of chicken
can be produced from three to four
pounds of grain.
