Canadian wheat acreage is reduced. Il
soil and weather conditions equal those
of 1915 at this time, and in 1915 Cana
da produced a tremendous crop. The
rye acreage in Canada is almost 4U
per cent larger than in 1918 and The
acreage of oats and barley is greater
even than last year. Flax planting is
not completed. but a large acreage is
expected; while the grass lands cover
the same area as last year. A large
general harvest in Canada this season,
it seems needless to say, would be a
priceless boon to the world.

Vermont may be on a political side
track but it ought TO be permitted to
have a glimpse OF the two leading pres
idential candidates. No doubt the state
committees of the two parties are now
in communication with the national
campaign managers in an effort to get
at least one date for the state from
each candidate. The Republican state
committee at least ought to be ne
cesful in closing a date for a visit from
Senator Harding in his comings and his
goings, for it IS presumed he will be on

terruption Whatsoever" These head
lines appear over a story by a staff
correspondent in the Manchester Union
who goes on to say he has been invited
to make a trip to Canada with the
whiskey runner and act as an unotfi-
cial press agent and convoy on the
return with a 1000 quart consignment
of liquor. He even gives a part of the
route followed by these whiskey run
ners and shows considerable familiar
ity with the practices of these violators
of American law. He claims that while
the liquor is consigned to Massachu-
setts points the captain of the outlaw
party has permission to sell from four
to twenty quarts to persons along the
route. The correspondent is inclined
to discredit the federal and state
agents who have charge Of the enforce
ment Of the law, but there is question
whether any citizen can have as much
information regarding the violation of
the law without being a protector and
defender of lawbreaking. Good citi-
zenship and good Americanism would
suggest assistance TO the officers of
the law rather adding to their dis
credit.-Brattleboro Reformer.
