In Iowa and Illinois the crops look

CURRENT COMMENT
More Farmers Needed.

Statistics coming in almost daily
from the census bureau show marked
increase in practically all of the larg-
err cities throughout the country. The
increase is out OF all proportion TO the
increase of the population Of the ma
ton as a whole, which indicates that
when the complete statistics are in and
available for analysis, IL will be found
that population Of the rural districts
has very materially decreased in pro-
portion to the population of the en-
tire country.
The reason, in part, for the drift is
apparent. The policies Of the present
administration during the war were
such as to encourage the payment Of
enormous wages to workers in the
cities and on the railroads with the re-
suit that farmers sons and men en-
ployed in the rural districts hurried off
to the cities, leaving the farms in
many instances without bit OF help,
to obtain the more remunerative en-
ployment Not a single act Of the ad-
ministration has tended TO encourage
men to stay on the farms. The com
plete statistics of the present census
will afford an interesting study and
one which will have 10 receive the at
tention OF those leaders Of American
policy upon whom will fall the task Of
finding some way Of getting a larger
proportion Of our population back to
the work Of producing food commodi-
ties and raw materials, the scarcity Of

The experiment of the st. Adams
Messenger in giving 10 seniors of st.
Adams high school the privilege of
gathering the news for day was so
successful that there viii probably be
a repetition of the plan, with others in
the high school given an opportunity to
find the news and present it in read
able shape. The 10 who went out with
pencil and paper and a bump of obser-
walton one day recently did efficient
work, the columns of the st. Adams
contemporary attesting the enthusiasm
and keenness of the news gatherers
through the large number of personal
items that passed by the pen of the
censor. The students who were thus
given an opportunity to have a little
practical experience in newspaper work
undoubtedly derived much benefit from
the days occupation. One would be in
clined to say, too, that the contempo-
rary lost nothing by it.

THE HOOVER SENTIMENT.

Hoover enthusiasts are reported tc
have been quite enthusiastic over Hoov.
err at last evenings meeting in Barre
However, it is feared that Hoover en-
thusiasm, in the country as well as
Barre, is something of an effervescent
affair and not stable enough TO land
Mr.. Hoover in the presidential chair
Montpelier Argus
Far more startling changes than this
appears to be to the contemporary have
taken place in the world, and the Mont
pelier contemporary may receive a sur
prise one of these days when the fast
growing public sentiment throughout
the United States gets its full momen-
tum. There really is nothing insur-
mountable for this popular sentiment
once it gets started. II goes without
saying that the Hoover-for president
movement is beginning to receive the
impetus of a great wave of support by
the people of the United States. Hoov-
er may not have the most votes when
the Republican national convention
opens, but he may, and we believe will,
hold the balance of power among un-
instructed delegates. What will hap

The San Reno conference of nations
which fought against Germany in the
World war does not give assurance of
the settling of the various differences
that have developed among the allies,
however sweet the promises appear to
be. The trouble is that most of the
nations will go to the conference with
an axe to grind and with few, if any,
willing to turn the crank for the other
fellow. 1t needs a few disinterested
parties like the United States to make
such conference really effective; but
the United States, it is said, will not
be represented at San Reno because
the United States is virtually out of
the reckoning in the matters of peace
although the United States was pow
erful factor in turning the tide of war
in favor of the allies.

into a concerted effort to aid the mu-
nicipality just as it was developed to
aid some private corporation last win
ter! The people of community should
have far greater interest in improy
ing their surroundings because the city
is theirs and what adds to the health
fulness and attractiveness of the city
adds, indirectly, to their own posses
sions. Cleaning up the streets surely
increases the rating of a community
while at the same time it helps to wipe
out disease germs. So the community
effort idea commends itself very
strongly in any city or town where
municipal finances are running low.

A COMMUNITY CLEANUP.

Prompt denial is made of the report
that there would be no street cleaning
in st. Adams this spring because Of the
shortage of funds in the city treasury
and the city's street department is al
ready at work putting the streets of
the Railroad city in shape for the sum
mer. The revised report speaks well
for the public sentiment of St. Adams
which would have been at low ebb to
let filth and dirt linger as a menace to
health and as an eyesore. If there are
communities which really have not the
funds with which to carry on spring
elean-ups of their streets, there is one
movement which might be elective
municipal bee, much like the old time
house raising, the corn -husking or the
road making
Last winter the citizens in many
communities in the northeastern sec
ton of the country fell in with the idea
OF adding their collective help to troll
ley companies, which were struggling
under the handicap of a vast aceumu-
lation of snow, and they helped TO dig
the trolley lines out of the snow and
ice without asking and without expect
ing one cent OF reward for their effort
The reward, if any, went largely into
the pockets of the trolley companies,
with now and then a slight income to
business men and tradesmen in the
community. Sometimes as many as a
thousand men turned out to aid in this
work, which could not be considered
more than semi-public benefit at best
They were willing to sacrifice some
thing to have former conditions re-
stored.
Now If a community, handicapped by
lack Of funds, wishes to have its former

tiveness restored after winter has done
