DEMOCRATS
ARE SILENT
ON PROHIBITION
Platform Offered by Con-
ventiOn Sub Com Leaves
Out Dry Plank
(Bv the Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The
Democratic platform as drafted by
the sub committee of nine submitted
to the full committee, declares for
ratification of the peace treaty as a
requisite to preserve the honor and
integrity of the nation; suggests that
the Irish question can be brought le-
gitimatelv before the Lcarue of Ma

the subject of prohibition.
1t advocates collective bargaining
for farmers, opposed compulsory ar
bitration of labor disputes, declares
for recognition of the new Mexican
government when it has established
order and calls on the legislatures of
Tennessee. North Carolina and
Georgia to ratify the ;rffrage amend
nent.
In many respects the platform fol-
lowed that adopted nv the Virginia
Democrats and publicly approved by
President Wilson. The League of
Nations plank in particular was taken
virtually as a whole from the Virginia
platform, though in other respects
there have been notifications and
many new subjects have been added.
Other planks praised Tie admins
tration conduct of the war, condemns
Republicans for extravaganza, critl-
else the Republican congress for fail
urc to revise war time tax schedules,
and denies Republican claims of eco
nomy. 1t blames the republicans for
the high cost of livinr in delaying
peace, pledged legislation to bring
profiteers before the bar of justice,
reaffirm Democratic tariff doctrines,
defends the presidential veto of the
budget bill and advocates a budget
system partly under direction of the

MIR. ASTLE'S
FISH PROBABLY
EUROPEAN TROUT
Supt. Dinsmore Thinks 1t
Came from Lyndon Cen
ter Pond Years Ago

The recent story in the columns of
the Caledonian-R Record of the six
pound trout that Oscar Astle caught
at St. Johnsbury Center Sunday has
aroused much interest in this section
and there has been considerable
speculation about the kind of trout
that was caught. Sup. DinSmore Of
the United States Fi7h Hatchery did
not see the fish but from the desclip-
ion given him he is aatistied that 1t
was specimen Of til, European
brown trout. This IS a rare species
for this section of the state, but is
fairly common in New York water
and in the streams # Bennington
county, whero it has been introduced.
As to its age Mr.. Dinsmore said
il one of the scales could have been
placed under the miscroscopo one
would have seen series of rings,
each ring representing year
growth Just as in tree. Asked
where such rare fish could come
from he expressed the belief that y
fish came down the river when the
pond went out by John w. Titcomb's
house at Lyndon Center about 10
years ago. Nh. Dinsmore thought
that Mr.. Titcomb had some Of tho
European trout in that pond and
that this fish must have been in the
Passump;ic river ever since that
time. There is report that smaller
fish of this same species has been

PREVENT SEEDING OF WEEDS
Early Flowing Retards Maturity of
Many Noxious Plants ard Also
Benefits Soil.

Early plowing prevents the seeding
of many weeds that would mature
during the fall. 1t also covers up
many weed seeds and causes them to
germinate to be killed In the fall be-
fore they can produce more seed.
Early fall plowing opens up the soil
so that more Of the fall rains soak
into the land, often a considerable
advantage. Early fall plowing also
gives time for any green manure or
stubble that Is plowed under to be-
come somewhat decayed and be avail
able for growing crops the following

BERANGER'S HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed
On by Host of lngrates Who
PIucked Him.

Interesting anecdotes are told of the
great French poet, Beranger, who died
in 1857.
The poet was as poor as he was
generous. All he had he gave away.
and when there was nothing left he
sent the beggars who haunted his
house to call on his numerous friends.
One of the characteristics of this
unfortunate benefactOr who was al
ways surrounded by host of ingrates,
was his tolerant spirit. Since there
was no ante-chamber in his modest
home, the beggars who knew the house
stayed outside on the staircase; it was
impossible to see him without finding
q half-dozen of them on the stairs.
There they used to wait like ravens
for the small change, old clothes, and
sometimes new clothes, that Lisette
was the first to distribute to them.
When friends demonstrated with Be
ranger for giving away things he need
ed to people whom he did not know,
Lisette would answer:
"Oh, now, Beranger will just write
another song-the lazy fellow"

It seems to be somewhat easier to

Even If sweet clover is to be grown

others the percentages were low.
Efforts of Owner Count Most.
Briefly, the figures indicate that the
freedom of a herd from tuberculosis
is influenced chiefly by the efforts of
the owner to keep the herd healthy,
not by the breed. Some breeders as
sociations have been noticeably active
in encouraging their members to adopt
tuberculosis-eradic easure~ :.
The figures are believed to reflect such
activity.
Furthermore. the compilations dis
