CARLSON BEATS
BORELLA IN FAST
MATCH AT ARMORY
Wrestling Season Opens in
st. JOhnsbury With Real
Fireworks

St Johnsbury followers of the
wrestling game were treated to a fine
exhibition of skill on the mat at the
Armoly on Thursday evening, when
John Carlson, claimant of the welter-
weight championshi of Ohio, but
who at the present time belongs in
the middle-weight class because of
his increase in avoirdupois, defeated
Charles Borella, the 21-ycar holder
of the welter- weight crown of Yer
mont, in two out of three falls. About
200 enthusiastic fans crowded into
the Armoly to witness the match and
a great Cutburst of cheering greeted
the athletes as they walked from
their dressin rooms onto the mat
and was almost continuous through
out the evenings performance. Al
though it was noticcablv a Borclla
audience, nevertheless the western
champion had a goodly number of
supporters on the scene.
Although outweighed by 20 pounds,
the youngster from Newport, who
possesses the strong muscles, was in
the pink of condition and put up
battle be could we'll feel proud Of,
even though he was not successful in
his effort to whip Carlson for the
third Successive time. For the benefit
of those wrestling enthusiasts who
may have forgotten Borella's cnvious
record of last season, it mioht be we'll
to state that Carlson twice yielded
to the superiority Of his vCungcr op-
ponent Carlson last night weighed
considerably more than he did on the
occasion of his last meeting with Bo-
rclla and a"parantlY was in better
shape, but no partial or impartial OBJ
server can say one word against Carl
sons methods Of wrcstlin~ He is one
of the cleancSt srortsmcn that ever

and Mr.. Borella will admit this fact

NEED FOR BROAD VISION CIT
IZENSHIP SAYS VANDERBILT
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, Oct.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, Oct. Is
The need for an enlightened and
broad vision citizenship which would
look on the progress of civilization
in the large instead of being concern
ed only with the domestic conditions,
was stressed by Frank A. Vanderlip
Of New York in the Founders Day
address at Mount Holyokc College to-
day. "Until the interruption caused
by the great war is repaired" the
speaker said millions of people will
be on the verge Of stavation. This
has great significance as economic
causes are among the chief causes of
the war. Economic pressure has fur
nished the reason for most revolu-
tions."

Time was he cherished youthful hopes

Time was he woke Mt morning, Just as you,
To think of splendors that his hand

And though the outer garment shows sins

Perhaps some beauty of bis soul remains.
Stretch out hand to himl To be his
friend
Nav be your own great tribute at the end;
Kindness TO sinners does not breed dis

More shame to him who turns away his
face:
Help him TO rise who falls beside the way
As you to God for help are moved to pray.

PRESS COMMENTS.


The high prices now paid for pure-bred
dairy cattle lead many to think that the
dairy farm must be veritable gold NINE.
And as milk and butter are universal
foods, the public is deeply interested in
the facts behind the bottle of milk and the
brick of butter.
Fifty years ago western dairying was
an accidental industry. What the COW
happened to give, the farmer took. and
passed on to the consumer at what he
could happen to get. What the farmer
got from his COW was pin money; the COW
was not debited with her board, but was
looked upon as benevolent creature,
whatever the performance at the pail.
Today the cow is n business propo-
sition Bran is worth $50 ton; cow
feed, a balance ration, IS $50 ton. Hay
is worth $50, some times rising to $40,
Pasture land, of which the cow mUst have
at least two acres, is worth from 5000 to
$500 an acre Add to this oats at 81
bushel, barley Mt S175 and corn OF -,
and we find that the board bill of a milk
COW is something like that of man. 1t
could easily mount to 81 n day.
If we add to this the cows share OF the
salary of the Farmland and mixer, who
can command hundred a month and
board and add also the cost Of housing
and the interest on her purchase price, we
find that COW must yield an annual
product worth at least SlOO to iustif her
being alive at all
Thus il is plain why most COWS IN
scrub or mongrcl herd arc liabilities and
why to keep ahead of her board bill COW
must bc of good birth and breeding That
is why purc-brcd dairy cattle of high pro-
ductlve records are selling at what look
to he fancy prices. Minneapolis Journal

Platform Building.

While the great majority of American
voters ordinarily may give only passing
attention to the platforms adopted in
each campaign by the political parties,
there are many men. with an interest IN
the future Of the country who are giving
careiulconsideration to the platform build
ing that will devolve upon the Democratic
and Republican parties, that are about 10
hold their national conventions. ms
work is going to be q real task, more so
than ever before, for the reason that the
national conditions are entirely different
from what they ever were before. In TACT
there is a very material international
phase that must enter into the platforms
in view of the World War, which mas
made the United States. more than ever
before. world factor. The war has also
brought about internal conditions that
were never known before. The whole
world has become confused and America
has its share of confusion.
Therefore, it devolves upon the next
administration to make an effort to do
what it can to stabilize domestic affairs
and readiust foreign relations so that
there can be an early restoration OF inter-
national commercial affairs on n normal
basis. Had the present Congress reiralned
from PLAYING politics SO much and attend
Cd more to business, much Of the trouble
might have been overcome The way was
pointed out but was not followed Now
it is no to the political parties to take the
public into their confidence and tell the
people, in their platforms, how they pro-
pose going about this work for the beneht
of mankind if they are placed IN power.
The time for catering TO special m
tcrests has passed In fact. no honest
special interest wants to be either subs'-
died or catered 10 by any government.
All they want is fair play. These points
must be taken into consideration when i
comes to building the platforms. All Gle
