FIELD DAY DRAWS
CROWD OF 1000
Farm Bureau and Grange Outing in
Townshend Successful Event
Tractor Demonstrations.

Nearly 1000 persons attended the
annual Farm Bureau and Grange field
day in Townshend yesterday, most of
the pieniekcrs going to that place by
automobiles, over 200 of which were
counted at one time. Practically every
town in the county was well repre-
sented and it was the unanimous opin-
ion that it was one of the most sue
cessful events of the kind ever held in
this section.
The exercises were held at the So
called Chamberlain farm about half
way between Townshend and West
Townshend and on a plot which was
particularly well suited to accommo-
date so large a crowd in a way that
everyone could hear the speakers per-
fectly.
In the forenoon tractor demonstra-
tions given by the Roberts Auto Co.,
which used a Cleveland caterpillar ma
chine, and by Joel Stearns of Green
field, Mass, who demonstrated a Mo
line tractor with several attachments,
including harrows and cultivation From
two to three acres of land was turned
over and the work was watched with
deep interest by the farmers and by
many of the women present. At noon
a basket lunch was enjoyed.
A. A. Dunklee of Vernon. president
of the Farm Bureau, presided at the
afternoon speaking program, which
opened at 1.30 o'clock Following an
nouneements by County Agent w. p.
Frost. o. L. Martin of Plainfeld, mas
| ter of the state Grange, gave an es-
pecialIv interesting 30-minute address
regarding agricultural organizations.
| AT the request of the audience the
| political campaign was brought to at
| tention and, with view to limiting
| the matter to reasonable proportions
| President Dunklee called for few
| words only from DR. i. l.. Osgood OF
! Saxtons River, and w. c. Belknap of
| Bellows Falls. both of whom are can
| didates for the Vermont senate, and
| Attorney f. w Gibson, candidate foI
! congressman from the second district
A nine-inning baseball game between
the East Dover team and a team from
Saxtons River was then staged and re
suited in a victory for the Saxtons
River BOYS by a narrow margin. TC
the surprise of 'ilany practically ev-
eryone remained until the close of the
| game.
The Jacksonville representatives ex
pressed a desire that the field day be
held in their town in 1921 and by vot'
of the audience it was suggested thai
the Farm Bureau officers take thai
place under consideration. It is the plar
to hold the outing in different sections
of the county from time to time in or
der that all members of the organiza
tion may receive equal advantages.

PRICES STILL DROPPING.
Few Fruits or Vegetables Left to Rot,
Says Department.

WASHINGTON. Aug, IS. = Contin-
uation Of the decline in the fruits and
vegetables was reported yesterday by
the department of agriculture in its
weekly market report. Owing to a
good growing season the supply of
most fruits and vegetables is liberal,
the department said, adding that "the
buying power apparently Is not quite
what it was.''
Taking cogniZance of reports that
large quantities of fruit are rotting in
the country while city consumers are
being subjected to profteering, the de-
partment asserts that the wasted fruit
is mostly windfall and not fit to barrel
for market.

Declares Existing League
of Nations Is an IRE
deemable Failure
PROPOSES NEW ~
WORLD TRIBUNAL
Would Follow Framework of Hague
Tribunal-Passage of Peace Resolu-
ton Would Do Away With Necessity
of Separate Treaty.

MARION, O., Aug. 28.-Pronouncing
the existing league of nations definite
and irredeemable failure. Senator Hard
ing today proposed new effort to con-
struct a world association on the frame
work of the Hague tribunal, clothed
with such attributes of the league cove
nant as may be found safe and practea-
BILE. He pledged himself, if elected pres
ident, to an immediate effort with the
advice of the ablest men of both parties
to form such an association either by
putting teeth into the Hague court or
bv reviving the covenant to protect ma
tional aspirations.
The declaration was made iii a front
porch speech to a delegation of Indiana
Republicans.
Covering in detail the Republican NOM
inee's position on the nations foreign re-
lations policy, the senator replied direct
Iy to the argument of his Democratic op-
ponent, Governor Cox, and declared the
league issue had been squarely joined.
''The Democratic nominee he said,
''has fatty said he is in favor of going
in on the basis announced by the Presi-
dent. |. am not That is the whole diff
ference between us BuI II - a must NiCot
one because it involves the disparity be
tween world court of justice supple
mented by a world association for con-
ference on the one hand and the council
of the league Of nations on the other.'
The league, the candidate asserted had
broken down at it's first test in Poland
and now had passed beyond the possi-
bility Of restoration. Passage Of a peace
resolution, he continued, would make an
actual and effective peace without ne.
gotiation of separate treaty with Ger
many.
Touching on Mexico, the Republican
nominee proclaimed "a plain notice to
every government on the face Of the
earth" that the United States would sub
NIT to no wrong to its citizens in person
or property. He also replied to charges
of undue senate influence by asserting
that as President he would be quite as
vigilant as he had been as a senator to
prevent trespass on that branch of the
government in which he served.

 Europe and Asia are without stocks of cotton goods, said the professor The amount of cotton which the worlds mills could spin and weave is now restricted by destruction of machinery in the devastated regions of Europe and restriction of the hours of labor but these conditions would not be permanent.
 One thing which alarmed him was the enormous development of the use of motor cars in America with d consequent demand for 50O,OOO bales of staple cotton for fabrics in tires This demand existed at a time when the whole world supply of staple cotton, he said. had been reduced to 100000 bales.

COTTON SUPPLY
 OF WORLD WILL
 BE INADEQUATE

BLACkPOOL, Eng-(P)-Professo John A. Todd, one of the British delegates to the World Cotton con- ference at New Orleans, in October last, told the Textile Institute that the worlds supply of cotton for the next ten years was seriously threat ened. He saw indications that the scarcity of cotton would increase as the world capacity to consume it returned to normal.
 Professor Todd said the first step to be taken should be to assure the grower of a reasonable price to cov- CT the cost of production and to reward him adequately for growing improved cotton. He pointed out that the present system of marketing did not encourage the production of bet ter cotton and insisted that the British government might well do a great deal more than this to extend the cotton industry. He pleaded for rigorous economy in consumption. The American cotton crop, said the professor, was the limiting factor in the worlds supply. This crop had developed an extreme undesirable see-saw movement of acreage, crops and prices. There had been five bad crops in succession with high prices accentuated by world imitation.
 Before the war, said the speaker, a large part of the American grow CTS were on a small margin of profit and when prices did not pay they reduced their acreage. This occur red during the war and the acreage then lost had not since been re- covered. American acreage was re-
