Vermont League of Women
Voters in Process of
Organization

At the recent first annual con
vention of the Vermont League
of Women Voters held just be-
fore the Primaries in Burling-
ton, a constitution was adopted
and plans of work were discus
sed by the delegates who repre-
sented many parts of the state.
The organization is nonparti-
san and urges it's members to
join the party of her choice,
and if she desires work for and
endorse candidates of her
choice, but, the League as an
organization can not endorse or
work for any candidate; this
work must be left entirely to
the members of officers as IN
DIVIDUALS. The purpose of
the League of Women Voters
is two-fold "tof oster edu-
cation in citizenship, and to sup
port improved Legislation. THE
ultimate purpose of the Ma
tional League of Women Vot-
ers, of which the Vermont
League is a part, is "a country
in which all voters speak Eng
lish, read their own ballots and
honor the American flag.
Several planks prepared by
the National League were ad-
opted by the major political
palties at their national con
ventions.
Every woman in Vermont is
invited to join the League,
either directly thru the State
organization or thru it's local
leagues which are already in
the process of organization

Plans for State DAIRY Days"

Plans are being made for q
series of state diary days" to
be held by the New England
Milk Producers Association
early in December. On the day
assigned to each state simul-
tancous meetings. will be held in
each county with able speakers
to explain the present and the
future outlook of the dairy in
dustry in New England. The
aim of the meetings is TO show
that dairying is a New England
wide business and can no lon
ge be considered as a local
matter.
The tentative plan provides
ror simultaneous meetings in
every county in Maine on Moe
day of the week selected, SIM
lar meetings in every county IN
New Hampshire on Tuesday.
meetings in Vermont on We'd
nesday. in Massachusetts on
| Thursday, and in Rhode Island
| and those counties of Connect
cut and New York which come
into the New England Milk
Producers Association territory
on Friday. Among the speak
ers will be the field men and
district managers CT the Assc-
citation.
The meeting will be held in
connection with the annual
meetings Of the County bran
ches of the Association, follow
ing the meetings of the local
] branches in each town in New
England. They will give a new
opportunity for farmers to get
| first hand information as to the
conditions under which milk is
marketed in the cities. Bos-
toms milk supply now comes
from all over New England
and some from Canada and
New York state. It's total is
about as much as all the other
cities of New England combin-
ed. Under these conditions
transporations and marketing
problems are of vital import
ance to the dairy farmers.
| The county meetings will
give the dairy farmers of New
England an opportunity to ex-
press their satisfaction and
voice their chicks" at dairying
as a business. Their combined
opinions, kicks and satisfaction
will have powerful influence
in the meeting of the Associat-
ion to be held in Boston in Jan
uary. Il -.. -.

NO FLU THIS WINTER.
DIR. GriswOId Says Last Year Was
Last Wave OF Epidemic

After three increasingly severe
cpidemics of influenza during the
past three winters II seems highly
/ improbable to Dr. Donald n. Girls
fold. sta5e eridemiolOgist at the uni
Nersity of Iowa, that there will be
any unusual presence Of the flu dur
ing the approaching cold season.
According to DR.. Griswo1d medical
history records five epidemies of the
| flu during the past hundred years.
Each OF these has come in three
waves of growing severity, but the
third wave, tho resulting in the high
est mortality rate, has been the fast.
Influenza was introduced into Am
erica with mild attact in the
spring Of 1918, this was followed by
d more severe epidemic during the
early winter following, and in the
late winter of 1890 the epidemic
resulted in an alarming number OF
deaths Now the danger Is past.
Those who have had influenza and
who recovered need not fear any
alarming tendency to further sick
ness, says Dr.. GrisTold While the
disease left its mark in any human
system. he explained, the very fact
that one survived indicates certain
ruggedness of health and physique.
DR.. Griswold predicts that there will
be no marked tendency TO pneumon-
la or any other disease, on the part
of those 80 per cent OF the people
who had the flu

Bismarck, N. D.-Doughboys of
North Dakota helped to make history
in France and Germany, but they
weren't thinking much about record

DR.. Melvin B. Gilmore, director of
the State Historical society, will testi-
fly to this. He's found the fact a
stumbling block in his efforts to OBJ

DR.. Gilmore has made an effort to
get a. collection of substitutes for
leather, food and other articles from
soldiers who served in the Army of
the Occupation. Such articles are
considered of great historical value,
as indicating the internal condition of
Germany during the wal and exhibit

by German soldiers in entering Paris.

RAILWAY

All over the country there is a slowing down
OF business, due in part to the inability of the
railroads to deliver raw materials and transport
manufactured products. There is a shortage of
fuel everywhere, and in consequence of this
failure Of the railroads to perform their part in
the industrial economy of the nation the country
IS suffering from a needless slowing down of
business. . =.
This stagnation means more to America than
q loss of our local business. It means loss in the
foreign markets, the drifting of trade to Euro
pean manufacturers and the loss to America of
an opportunity that has never before been open
to us.
Reading between the lines we can perceive
the handiwork Of foreign emissaries, who NAV
be disturbing our economic conditions in order
to gain time to place their merchandise ahead
OF American products and to impress our for.
eign patrons with the idea that America cannot
be depended upon to fulfill it's engagements.
The World hopes that such is not the case. but
there are evidences Of crooked work underly.

Daniel Willard, chairman Of the advisory
committee of Railway Executives, in conference
the Interstate Commerce Commission, sees
a way to relieve the railway congestion, even
with the present equipment, and said:
"lf the yardmen and other employees,
having had their pay and working candi-
tions satisfactorily adjusted will take hold
and work as we'll as American railway men
know how to work, l am hopeful that the
roads will be able to make the existing
equipment, by virtue of increased mileage,
a much more efficient, and in that way
gradually bring about normal conditions"
Mr.. Wizards theory may be all right from
his viewpoint, but it is feared that the keynote
of the trouble has not yet been struck, and that
while the results are evident the cause is not gen
orally apparent.
