TALKING ECONOMY.

-.lndrr civil and legislative, executive
ana ial.cjal appropriation bills in a
-.5r.t .t real economy, if the remarks
aI tvug,e~<laan J w. Good, chairman

Sly tlr committee is determined to re
dlco tho number # government employ,
n the District Of Columbia 10000 and
ave Sf00.0 DOC, 900 a year. That is ?
good beginning and he hopes to show the
taxpayers that the reorganization is
made solely for the good of the service.
II is figured that during the present
fiscal year 80 cents cut of every dollar
o. 5oeJeI la taxes ba- gore to pay for

Congressman Good hopes to reduce these
expenses so only 20 cents Of every
dollar collected win be- used. He points
out that the war department is spend

rertising for enlisted men when it al
ready has $4,000 more men than are

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER a, 1920.
MAKE NO PLEDGES.

1t is generally expected the fight over
the restoration Of the normal schools at
Johnson and Castleton will be one of
the leading features of the coming ses-
sion of the legislature. Discussing this
subject the Bennington Banner says:
What the state wants and what the leg
i|slature should seek is service, not re
wards or punishment for any man or set
of men. An effort appears to be in pro
gressato- pledge@memLers elected to the
legislature to support this idea or that
idea before they go to Montpelier. Such
an effort is unfortunate. Every mem
her elect should beware of the parti-
san who wants his promise as to what
he will do on a question on which he has
heard only a little. The senators and
representatives who are going to Mont
pelier should keep an open mind on the
normal school issue urtil they have heard
all the various phases of the issue dis
cussed by persons whose opinion has
been schooled by study of the situation
as it actually exists"
The Banners advice is good. APP
parcntly there is considerable dissatis-
faction with the educational work in
this state, some of it possibly we'll
founded and some of it based on ignor-
ance, like the cry for the restoration of
the little red schoolhouse by the state
board when the red schoOlhOuse is ac-
tually controlled by local school author
tiles and residents of school ~neighbor-
hoods.
There is much information to be ac-
quired before one pledges his vote on an
educational matter. Every member of
the legislature will have an opportunity
and should inform himself on how much
of the state educational funds are ex-
pended for school officials, how much for
aid of rural schools, how much for
training teachers; and how many teach
ers are being trained, how well the
are supervised and what overhead
official expenses are warranted. All
this information is in possession of the
department of education and there is no
doubt it will be given to the lawmakers
after they have assembled in regular SEES
sion. With this information in mind the
legislators can be trusted to safely de-
eide whether or not the plan of reduc-
ing the number of union superintendent
and other suggested changes are desir-
able. They are likely to make serious
mistakes if they pledge their votes when
only one side of the question has been
heard.

Road Hogs.
(St. Adams Messennor

(St. Adams Messenger.)
One reads with interest that a Nassa-
c~husetts road hog" has had his license
70 drive a motor vehicle revoked n ia
The kin of treatment porcine chauffeurs
deserve.
The road hog is an abomination. He
axes the view that the highway beIongs
% h1m and that the presence of any one
use represents an insulting ~intrudance.
lie IS also a source of danger. The as
'omptIon of the driver of the car in the
ear IS that the man ahead is a gentle
man and will give to others their right
eel snare Of tho road and that he win
I.ciHtt those behind T. pass. IF he doesn't
do TINS. .the man in the rear may run in
~ ao secident.
Not al road hogs are motorists. bv the
way, One OF these far from amiable an
mails may be occupying a carriage. And
may be said that it is difficult for one
"ho drives a team on the highways at
night without a light to escape such class
3%7catlon. for it looks as if he is thinking
nore of the money a lantern would cost
han of his or anyone's else safety.
There should be no closed season on
he road hog. Other states might well
axe their cue from Massachusetts, and
Iaor the highways of these undesirables.
1t it we're clearly understood that uDon
.onrjCtion Of confirmed tendencies toward
lea-lng tho road . mans license would be
"voEcd, the results would he wonderful.
There would be a sudden realization on
he part of many that other people nave
an equal right to the highways.

The Football Championship.
Barre Times.)

The claims and counter-claims by var
ious high schools of Vermont to the high
will probably continue until another foot
ball season rolls around, inasmuch as the
early coming of winter with deep snow
has ef~fectually shut off football playing
and prevented the meeting of some teams
which are now asserting their right to
the title. This is unfortunate from the
standpoint of good sport as the several
claims leave the decision in the air, -
the supporters of each team in the list
of claimants feeling that their team is Ell
titled to the championship on the strength
of the record of games played. Spaulding
high school of Barre certainly will main
tain its claim in the championship follow
ng a most successful season ending with

The first snow fall brings out the
youngsters and their sleds and already
one small girl and two boys are dead
and another at the point of death in
Vermont from injuries received in col
liding with automobiles while coasting.
The traffic of the highways must go on
and the many automobiles and motor
trucks make it more dangerous for this
sport than when there were only horse
drawn vehicles. The excitement of play
and sometimes the inability of the child
to control the flying sled are liable to be
contributory causes toward serious &C
cidents. Parents should see that the
children do their coasiing somewhere be-
sides on the highways unless such streets
or roads have been given over to the
sport by the proper authorities.

FISH
A fish descends frum a meer raw egg
Like a insek and like a berd,
And it swims until the day it dies
Without u~ttering a We. d..
Some fish, sutch as %sourdeens, come
completely surrounded by olive oil in
cans, ony unfortunately they are ded and
can't enjoy each others compinny or the
oil either. Other feshes in oil never do
enything but hang he'd ferst in oil paint
lngs on peoples dining room wall, proberly
being more monotoniss for you to watch
them there han wat it is for them to be
there.
Fish eyes are round and dim
And their shape is g~enrelly slim
And living in waiter like they do,
Its lucky they all can swim.
The most bewtifill fishes are goldhshes
and they also nave the leest fun, on ac-
count of spending most of the time look
ing out of aquarians waiting for people to
stop forgetting to feed them. This proves
bewty is ony skin deey. The leest hewitt
fill feshes are wales, ony they proberly
don't realize it so it don't influence them
eny.
To see them get frum place to place
Without a single leg,
It's hard to believe that every one
Was once a meer raw egg.

presiding officer will be Mrs. MilIicent
Garrett Fawcett, whose name is a house,
hold word wherever the cause of woman
suffrage is a live issue. For fifty years
Mrs. Fawcett has been the active leader
OF the suffrage forces in England. Born
and brought up in a little fishing village
in Suffolk, she was married at the age OF
20 to Prof. Henry Fawcett, who after
ward became acknowledgement. About
the same time she began her public ca
reer, in connection with the London so
ciety for women's suffrage. For many
years Mrs. Fawcett has guided the course
of the National Union of Women's SUI
frage societies, and has persistently adj
hered to constitutional, as opposed to
militant methods of agitation.

and you may publish my testimonial"
Mrs. GEO. y. Zoos, III S. 9Th St.,
Goshen, Ind.
The experience of Motherhood is a
trying one to most women and marks
distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not
one woman in a hundred is prepared or
understands how to properly care for
herself. Every woman at this time
should rely upon Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, a most valuable
tonic and invigorator of the female
organism.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy and strong and this good old
fashioned root and herb remedy con-
tains no narcotics or harmful drugs.

Pull the curtains closer,
Winter is here apace
With suOw-white hair and frosty breath
And icicles ON his face.
Get out your arctics and wooden gloves,
Unpack your flannel nightie;
The chickens can wear crepe de chine
If they wish to be so tiighty.

The coal shovel's also busy
The coal bills total such a sum
That fathers head gets dizzy.
