of escaping prosecution. In this To-
cality many stores have what are
nothing less than lottery machines,
where you put in. a penny and get
sometimes nothing and sometimes a
small penny's worth and once in a
while q nickle, dime or quarters
worth In trade. Gambling, pure and
simple. It appeals to that instinct
Matching pennies or shaking for the
soda is a common pastime, practiced
everywhere. Gambling, again. Ev-
cry country fair reeks with games
prohibited by law but permitted by

public want it and the concessionaires
pay an extra round price to operate.
II q game Is only on the level. popular
sentiment will generally sustain or at
least tolerate betting, something that
the law in every state prohibits. It
IS only when the game is crooked that
the public makes an outcry. To IL

The Empty Jails.

The Washington county jail at
Montpelier was empty, so lar as pris-
oners were concerned, on Tuesday,
September %, the single inmate held
on the charge of intoxication having
been discharged To be sure, there
nominally was one other prisoner,
but he was out on leave doing farm
work outside of MONTPELIER. This
has been the condition in Washington
county jail nuch Of the time during
the summer, a big Jail, and no one IN
it. Similar conditions have been not
ed in other counties, IN fact, IN praeti-
cally all the counties of the state.
Therefore, why wouldn't this be a
good time for the counties TO consoli-
date their Jail system. at least until
such time as the outbreak of crime
makes it necessary for them TO re-
open all the jails again? Several of
the nearby counties could bring their
r-isoners together and thus save con-
siderable overhead expense, especially
during the winter months when the
cost of fuel makes the heating of all
the county institutions a very expen-
sive proposition. Instead of keeping
the various jails open this winter, ar
raagerents should be made for car
ing for possible prisoners at some
central Jail, or = few jails.

Agricultural Vermont
s. Alhans Messengerl

The census report on agricultural
conditions in Vermont is most graft
fving. The number of farms has de-
creased in the past 10 years, some
bv ABSORPTION into other farms, and
some one may believe, by abandon
ment. The total number of acres de-
voted to agriculture has also decTeas-
ed somewhat, but there were some at
tempts to farm impossible sites IN the
state. this need cause no alarm.
The other side Of the picture IS
that. despite these decreases, the val-
ne of farm land has increased over
So per cent and the improved acreage
has increased by 3.5 aper cent. This
IS a picture of growth and develop
ment. The value of the states crops
has increased over 100 per cent IN the
past ten years. Production and value
of dairy products likewise show a
substantial increase.
All these things have happened IN
face of a declining agricultural popu-
lation. The picture reveals that ag-
riculture is not decadent. The farm
er is, large and by prosperous. There
is no reason why this progressive
movement should not continue. If
Vermont will only utilize her oppor-
tunities for all-around development.

Vermont Legion Plan Activities.

A progressive plan for the work of
the state department of the American
Legion of Vermont was discussed at
a recent meeting of the state execu-
tive committee and the delegates who
attended the Cleveland national con-
vention recently. Department activi-
ties will be launched which will have
as their object the extension of legion
work throughout the state and the
arousing of enthusiasm in legion
work among the various posts.
DR.. John Tierney of st. Johnsbury
was appointed as representative in
Vermont of the national committee on
Americanization. The appointed rep
resentative on the national committee
is Fraser Metzger of Randolph, who
is one of the Is members on this i'm
portant committee.
The resignation of Redfield Proctor
of Proctor, from the position of ma
tional executive committee was read
and accepted and III. Nelson Jackson
of Burlington who was elected alter
nate at the convention in Barre auto
matically took the Office. Max Fisher
of Barre was elected to fill the post
of alternate.
In order to further the work of the
department throughout the state the
department commander was author
lied to appoint a committee of five
members TO be known as the state
activities committee. They will plan
and have charge of all activities and
further beneficial legislation for ex-
service men in this state.
AS it was the concensus of opinion
that the work Of the adjutant, war
risk officer and vocational training
officer was benefit to the state, these
combined duties of the state adjutant
warranted his having an Office in the
state capital, and resolution urging
this was adopted.

that they would mean lot of easv
