STATE CROPS WERE GOOD
Rot Hit Potatoes But Apples and
Corn Yielded Well

Potato rot, due mainly to the warm
weather in October, is generally re-
ported throughout Vermont, Maine
and New Hampshire according to
the report of the bureau Of crop esIi-
mates of the U. S. department of
agriculture just released What effect
the cooler November will have is vet
to be shown. The New England pota-
to crop is put at "a 9j0.000 bushels,
which is lower than the October esti-
mate but slightly in excess of the
five-year average. The crop for the
United States Is put at 42l ,252,OO
bushels, considerably above the five
yea average.
The weather has been good for the
fall apples which have matured well
and have. taken on good color
and quality. The crop will be up to
earlier estimates and is still estimated
at around 1,238,000 bushels, somewhat
under 1919 but far ahead of 1918
Corn in Vermont, Maine and New
Hampshire is reported as an excellent
crop of good grade but elsewhere it is
not so good. Ensilage corn is quite
good generally except in Rhode Island.
The crop matured unusually well, also
due to ideal October weather. Sweet
corn was a good crop and was obtained
with but little frost damage.

COMMISSIONER DEMPSEY
National Education Review Praises
Vermont's New Director


All in all we can think of no recent
event in New England quite as Signiti-
cant, quite so full of promise as the
unanimous election of Clarence H..
Dempsey as commissioner of education
of Vermont He is the one man,
whom we know, educationally, profess
sionally, personally, equipped for that
position at this time.
Our pet slorqn of late has been the
need of considering the place, the
wav, the time in educational progress.
Mr. Dempsey knows Vermont. He is
New Englander He will give the
children of the Green Mounto'n state
the opportunity to use Vermont as 1t
is and as it has been as an educa-
tional laboratory He will be in sym
pathy with Nermonters of today with
a view to a new Vermont.
Mr. Dempsey will 90 about it in the
right wav. He has always done his
work in the right way. He has had
two unusually difficult school situa-
lions with which to deal. There was
never a more inextricable tangle than
I1dI at I1dNtl ull WITCH III NNiAN 49,
There were strands of. silk and sisal,
social flax and political hemp, with
imported and domestic shoddy.
We wouldn't have wagered a last
years straw hat on the success OF
Dempsey when he went to Haverhil!
but he untangled the snarl, graded
the strands, wove a new educational
fabric SO smooth to the touch and SO
bright to the eye that the most classic
suburb of Boston elected him to put
genuine gloss on the socio-educa~
tional and scholastic life of Milton.
And Mr.. Dempsey goes to Vermont
at the right time. Mr. Hillegas turns
over to him as good a school code as
any state has Vermont has modern
legislative looms well insto'"d and in
first-class condition for the weaving a
school life worthy of Vermont in the
third decade of the Goth century -

To keep the eyebrows clean and to
stimulate their growth and beauty,
they should be brushed gently with a
soft brush night and morning. In APP
plying any tonic or oil only the small

Chicken which will not cook tender
may be made so by the addition of

Vinegar will also soften the fiber of

Suede shoes or slippers may be

Dry bran is very valuable for clean

into fur, where the sOiled spots are

and delicate furs are cleaned well in
this way.
Velvet coat collars and collars of
mems coats may he cleaned easily
with cornmeal wet with gasoline and
rubbed well into the pile of the velvet
or collar and then brushed out Care
should be taken to keep away from all
fire.
A damp cloth wrapped around the
throat and covered with a dry one will

cough.

1oDAY's BEAUTY MINT

II Is not necessary TO shampoo
your hair so frequently If it is en-
tiTely and properly cieansed each
time BY the use OF really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense. by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox
which can be obtained from any
druggist. in cup of lot water.
This makes full cup Of shampoo
liquid. enough SO it 10 easy to apply
It 70, all the hair instead of Just
to the top of the head This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand of hair, chemically dissolyes
all impurities. 1t is very soothing
ana cooling in its action, as well as
beneficial to both scalp and hair.
After rinsing out the iather so Gre
ated. you will find the scalp is fresh,
clean and free from dandruff, while
the hair dries quickly and evenly, de-
veioping a bright Iuster and a soft
fiufiiness that makes /; seem very
heavy.-AdY.
