the security police.
Police Wear War Medals.
Officers of the police force, be-
decked with iron crosses and other
war decorations, return the smart
salutes of their men in the most
COmmendable military fashion.
The men, apparently, are very in
tent on their duties, and the major

They carry rifles across their
shoulders, and this police force is
the only one in the world that has
artillery. flame throwers and other
warning forces at its command.
Regular Army In Disguise.
The security police are the reg
ular army in disguise. They are
the elite corps reserved for the best
only. and are certainly a better
hghting force than the youthful,
inexperienced Reichswehr.
The German government is either
powerless or disinclined to remove
this menace to themselves, but the
allies most certainly watch this
camoufiaged police force. The allied
command here. which is predomi-
nantly British, is working hard to
enforce the disarmament of Ger
many.

BRITISH SHIPBUILDERS
BOOST PRICE PER TON
(washington Hernld-Cross Atlantic
Service. Special Cable DispatchD
BY HUGH DRYDEN.

London. April 24.-Amcrican ship
builders. it is believed here. are GER
tain to benefit by the latest develop
ment in British shipyards, where
the construction price Of vessels has
suddenly increased from $40 to
$3.50 ton. This is $50 higher than
the price prevailing in American
yards and British ship owners have
announced their intention OF placing
their orders in America in the fu-
ture.
The advance is attributed to the
governments mishandling of trans
port arrangements and the decrease
in output, due to new labor condi-
tions.
Less restriction on importation of
steel from Germany and America is
being asked for.
american yards are bound to
reap the benefit of the new situa-
tion. However. l predict a fall in
freight and passenger rates in the
near future" Owen Philips, chief
representative of shipping interests

HAS WASP THAT STINGS BOIL
 WEEVIL TO DEATH

Natchez, Miss, Aug. 18.-Much in- terest is being manifested in this sec- tion in the propagation of special of wasp claimed to be destroyer of the boil weevil. It is said that para sites from the wasp attack the weevil while the latter is in the larvae state and destroy it.
 The discovery of the wasp was first made in Adams county on the planta- tion of Mobley 6 Perry near Natcrez. Among those interested in propogat- ing the species is F. Taylor, an engi- neer, who owns the Belmont planta- tion near Natchez. MT. Taylor has an exhibit of the wasps in the various stages of development at Natchez and by it has convinced cotton plant CTS inclined to be skeptical that a wee vii destroyer has actually been found. The attention of the A. and M Col lege has been called to the wasp, but so far the identity of the species has not been established.

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS IS
 FELT AT THE UNIVERSITY

The acute shortage of teachers that prevails all over the country is being reflected in the administration offices of the University of Arkansas. The Appointment Bureau of the College of Education has received calls for PTS teachers for the coming year with less than half that number applying for positions. Every day the Univer- sity receives letters and telegrams from Arkansas and other states ask ing for teachers to. fill important posi- tions. The salaries paid range from $90 per month to $2500 per year, but the University has practically no available candidates.
 A few vacancies have occurred in the University faculty this year and in spite of increased salaries granted by the Board of Trustees, it has been found difficult to secure suitable in- structors to fill the positions.

THE PARADE
AS REGARDS SPELLING

The familiar old Blue Back spell schools of today. The study of spell scroos of otday. The study of spell ing has had it's ups and downs of pop ular favor. Once 1t seemed to be thought that children would absorb spelling with the air of the school room. Just now there is a revival of interest in good orthography. All kinds of educational shortcuts are continually being tried with the feel ing that somehow time can be saved, the clock cheated, and one or two ex- tra branches of study crammed down the juvenile throat.
 It is pretty good general princi- pie that an important thing can not be taken up incidentally. The human mind will not follow two main lines of attention at one time and do both of them systematically.
 The poor writer gets by nowadays by using a typewriter. The poor speller may possibly be able to buy correct orthography by having stem ographer do his writing. But the proportion of people who have sec retary waiting around, note book and sharpened pencil in hand to take their letters, is pretty small.
 A poorly spelled business letter strikes you like shabby suit of clothes worn by stranger. The man who wrote it may be able to make good, but the bad spelling carries a suggestion of incompetency. A baldy spelled social letter gives the feeling of slovenness, and you can almost im- agine the writer wearing the latest Paris styles but failing to keep her face clean.
 The trouble is not so much with the long words that you have to look up in the dictionary anyway. It is with the tricky little short words, the ever puzzling questions like whether it is "ein or "ie'.

A MIDSUMMER'S TALE

It used to be an old-time joke that some people were so fond of newspa- pers that they even read the adver- tisements. That might have been a humorous remark years ago. At that period some merchants would run an advertisement for a whole year un- changed. Clothing dealers would start in advertising January first with keep it running in July.
 Today people read t.lo advertise ing as mat CT # business. The wom en read it just as farmer reads wheat and pork prices or as banker reads the financial reports. They thereby get ideas as to how they can save on household or personal ex- penses. Probably a majority of the women turn first to the advertising of their favorite merchants, and then read the news later.
 The men also read the advertise ing carefully. Even if they have no business enterprise of their own, they are interested in the advertising as a reflection of the business life of the town.
 Hence it is perhaps unnecessary to suggest to the readers of the Inde- pendent that it's advertising columns are worthy of the most careful atten- tion. They are giving that attention to these notices no. Still it is worth while to say that there is no time when advertising is worth such careful att tention as in midsummer. All kinds of merchants have the proposition be- fore them of cleaning out their stocks before cool weather comes on. That requires publicity. The goods will move themselves. The public must be told about them and in detail.
 The story of what is happening in the stores will be found in the aoyer- Using columns of this newspaper. Most of the readers are seeing it, and it will repay their scrutiny.

PASSING OF CHIvALRY

There should be something said of the lack of courtesy shown by some of the men to the ladies when passing them on the street. There are num- CT of men, and some of them our most prominent business men, who are very careless in this matter.
 Not long ago well known lady was walking up the street. She met a gentleman whom she knew quite well. She spoke to him. He nodded and passed on but did not raise his hat. A few days later they met again. The

RENEWED TESTIMONY

firnled testimony that no Barton resi-

fering men and women as can reach
through this testimonial to know the
excellence of Doan's Kidney Pills. /
was greatly benefited by the use of
this remedy and / have known several
persons who have been cured by
Doan's, who had kidney trouble very
badly and were suffering as / did
with pains in the back, head and
across the loins. / am glad to say
Doan's Kidney Pills completely re-
lieved me of all these distressing con-
dltions. / am always glad to recon-
mend such deserving remedy"
Statement given Sept. a, 1909.
On May IA, 1920, Mr.. Sawyer said:
Il still think Doan's Kidney Pills are
very good although / haven't had to
use them for some time. Doan's made
my cure permanent one and / am

himself to be driven from pillar to
post on alternatives in connection with
the proposition for an extra session of
the legislature.
To say he would call a special ses-
sion, if the national convention would
favor referendum, was case of
pure bargaining. If it is right to call
special session, it was not right to
exact pay from any source for per-
forming public duty. If it would
be wrong as a Vermont policy to cali
an extra session of the legislature,
nothing the national convention could
do in some other direction as to the
future would make it right.

A Parable.
(Rutland Herald)

One or two Vermont newspapers
conclude that "Agan is slipping be-
cause he refuses to 'tdo business" with
the horse-shed and Darkroom type of
politician. One of them has the eff
frontery TO insinuate that Agan met
by appointment certain respectable
ltlzens of-oh, say Somerset or Sears
burg, to take it as PARKWAY as posi-
ble-and was duly referred" to GER
tain not-so-respectable citizens, who,
Tor large consideration in cash, pro-
posed to deliver the town"
Suppose that the offer was in de-
tai; that In some cases it ran to the
county, with a price set on each and
every town; that it was accompanied
by fairly cool proposition that 'if
you don't get those fellows Grabbitt
will" (The word "Grabbitt" is of
course symbolical.)
Perhaps in some cases the afore-
mentioned respectable citizens inform
ed him that it was "too late: Grabbitt
tied those fellows up month ago" 1t
might have been added that 'Grabbitt
says he will spend $4,000 to get this
nomination"
If all these things had been put up
to you, Gentle Reader, would you
or would YOU not?
IL ID Saiu IHdL Lnere are also some
interesting documents that shed some
| light on how this Mr.. Grabbitt .does
business" with the newspapers. all of
which, while perhaps not CONSTITUTING
evidence, would be interesting exhibits
IN case certain candidate carries out
his repeated threats and calls for in
dlclal investigation of his opponents
campaign methods.
Meanwhile, in the interest of a hal
icyor srd peaceful summer. smay we
not suggest that some delicate cir
cumstances, not unconnected with re-
cent newsnaper transfers, might bet
ter go uninvestigated.

interesting financial arrangements
square with Vermont Corrupt prac-
tees act" extracts from which ap-

More inconsistency.
(Brattleboro Reformer)

The Herald prefers the slogan "Let
the people rule" no matter how hack
neyed, to "Let the bosses rule" no
matter how convenient.-Rutland Her
aid.
In view of the fact that Governor
Clement, owner of the Herald, refuses
TO heed the peoples demand that the
legislature of Vermont be called in
special session to act upon the ratifica-
ton of the suffrage amendment the
above statement has a queer sound.
The state committee, the state conven-
ton and the national committee of the
party to which the governor claims
allegiance have requested him to act
IN this matter but this champion of
the people refuses to comply with
their requests 1t is hard to conceive
OF greater inconsistency than that be-
tween the above statement and the
non-actlon of the governor.
The Burlington Free Press evidently
realizes the inconsistency of the gov
ernor- 1t says in part:
We believe Governor Clement womb
have been stronger with the peonIe
! or perhaps it would be nearer the fact
IN the case TO say less weak. if he had
taken position squarely against suf-

The Rutland Herald says this pa
per accuses 'every candidate in every
primary since 1902 of improper ex-
penditure of money" This statement
is absolutely untrue. In the course OF
the same short paragraph from which
the above quotation is made the Her
aid again says this paper by implica-
ton accused every candidate and
every newspaper in Vermont of break
ing the law" This is another absolute
untruth and the Herald knows it. The
fact is, the Herald knows this paper
Is right IN its stand for a real cor
rupt practices act in Vermont, and is
taking every method known to its
crafty political methods to befuddle
the issue and bluff and befool the peo-
pie. The Herald sidesteps every
question asked it by this paper with
reference to the issue of money ex-
penditures in Vermont campaigns.
The Herald konws it is treading on
thin ice when it opens its columns for
discussion of this issue, and dares not
come out in the open with it. 1t will
s'hush" the matter all it can, and as
this paper said at the start, viii ig-
more the point altogether if necessary.
