Men who travel about to consider
able extent state that there is from
one-third to one-half less acreage I'M
der cultivation in this part OF vermont
than in former years. If this story
is duplicated in other parts OF the
state and in the nation the food prob
lem of another winter may be very
serious indeed. Farm labor is a cry
ing need, but it can never be secured
so long as industries turning out non
essential products and allied materials
can out-bid the food produced for
labor.

Why the low price paid for maple
sugar? Who has an answer? Is 1t
monopoly on the buying end? Is 1t
the lack of organization on the pro-
ducers end? Is there lessened de-
mand for maple products Was there
on over production this season? Some
one must know the answer or think
he knows the answer, and this paper
will be glad to publish signed state
ments from anyone bearing on this
subject. 1t is strange indeed, that
maple sugar this year, which cost
more to produce than it did last sea-
son. brings no greater if as good a
price as it brought a year ago. And
this in the face of tremendously IN
creased cost of other sugars. There
must be something wrong somewhere.

Clements FOolishness.
(Brattleboro Reformerl

eff the Republican party sees fit to
adopt the resolution providing for a
popular vote on all future amendments
to the federal constitutional ! shall be
justified in calling a special session
and will do so."-Pepcival w. Clement,
governor of Vermont. In making this
proposition the governor of Vermont
has eliminated the last shadow of an
excuse for not calling special session
OF the legislature to act upon the pro-
posed woman suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution. His PROPOSE
ton is an impossible one because it re-
qulres the SUPPRESSION of the will of the
majority to the terms of minority OF
one; and, if an impossible condition is
the only obstacle to a justification for
calling special session there is no
justification in not calling one. Hav-
ing given away his case, it is hoped
the. governor will go ahead and per-
form his duty to his party and to the
public.

Sale of Cigarettes to Boys.
est. Adams Messenger.)

Complaints received by States At
torney z. ". Gibson, of Windham
county, have caused that official to
start crusade against violaters of
Vermont's cigarette law as regards
sale TO minors.
While their harmfulness to the ma
ture man when not smoked to excess
is doubtful, yet the cigarette is recog-
niZed in the medical profession as det-
rimental to the nroper physical and
mental growth of the boy or youth.
1t is therefore proper that merchants
should observe to the letter, the state
laws with regard to the sale of cigar
cites to minors. 1t can generally be
observed that Windham county is not
the only section suffering from this
evasion or perhaps disregard of the
cigarette law. Perhaps a checkup
might be timely all around.

Solving Vermont's Housing Problem
(St. Adams Messenger.)

est. Adams Messenger.)
The lack of housing accommodations
in Vermont cities and larger towns
has been growing more and more
acute. The high price of labor and
material has put more or less of
lamper on building operations for
several years past and the situation
continues with little hope of better
ment in sight. An Gown Your Own
Home" movement has been gaining
ground In several communities in the
state, the latest places to enter being
Randolph and Newport City. Articles
of association have been filed with the
secretary of state by the Randolph
Cooperative Savings and Loan Asso-
citation. The capital stock must not
exceed 100000, shares are $500 each
and no stock holder can have more
than $1,000 at time. The purpose
given is to build homes and urge saw
Ings among the residents of Randolph.
More than 40 persons signed the pa
pers.
The Newport City Building Asso-
cation has organized with a capital
stock Of $4,000 and the sole purpose
of the organization is given as build
ing homes in Newport City.
These movements and similar ones
are decidedly worthy and will go :
long way toward solving the housina
problems of Vermont if pushed to 8
successful conclusion. Incidentally

trial development.
That is just about like chasing sky
rockets-visIonary.
Here is what Hardness would do. He
would make every town an industrial
bee hive. But he fails to tell how it
would be done. The industrial plants
have already robbed the farms of all
the labor, yet the Hardness program
calls for still more labor. Where is
it coming from?
Industrial growth is to be desired
but it cannot be done by any new
methods. Practical, hard sense and
common every day business ability
will do more for Vermont than all the
visionary theories advanced by this
wonder from Springfield.
The Agan followers are pursuing a
false god if they think a governor can
help to bring back local option. If a
governor has such an influence where
was the Hon. Percival w. Clement
