A GOOD CAMPAIGN PLANK.

The Burlington News makes the good
suggestion that on the eve of political
contest in Vermont we might well
make plank of the platform desire
to encourage home seekers to come to
Vermont A concerted effort to get
people to come into the state for per
manent residence would prove to be
one of the best things that ever hap
pened TO Vermont IL is true that peo-
pie are coming into the state and com
ing in considerable numbers; but it is
equally true that many Others are leav-
ing the state, and there is a we'll
founded fear lest the outgoing throng
outnumber the incoming people. Any
thing to turn the balance strongly in
favor of the incoming tide of people
would be fine impetus to development
of Vermont, far more practical in its
effects than some OF the academic dis
cussions which are quite certain TO be
carried on during the coming campaign.
So let one, or all, of the candidates for
governor of the state incorporate some
definite exposition regarding plans to
encourage people to come into Vermont
for a permanent residence, or as long
as the pure air, water and food of the
old state renders it possible for them
to have one.

With the announcements yesterday
of the candidates. of Frederick III.
| Babbitt of Bellows Falls and James
Hartness of Springfield the governor
ship campaign Of 1920 may be said TO
have formally opened. Although for
some time it has been taken for grant
ed that Lieut.. GOV Mason s. Stone was
gubernatorial asplrant he has yet
to make a definite statement of his pc.
sition Curtis S. Emery of Newport
also has been mentioned and is likely
to make an announcement soon.
II has been a good many years since
the Republicans of Windham county
had the opportunity TO get behind a
candidate which promises as much as
does that Of Mr. Babbitt Since boy
hood resilient of Bellows Falls, he
has not only been actively connected
with the business affairs OF the county
for a long period but has been ready
and willing at all times to further any
public movement looking toward the
betterment of town, county or state.
Az public servant Mr.. Rabbit has
wide experience, and the knowledge he
gained through active service in both
branches IF the Legislature fits him to
deal intr''~aatly with the many prob
lens that e, front a state executive.
The Reformer is glad TO pledge Mr..
Babbltt its active support, not only be-
cause he is a Windham county man,
but because II honestly believes that of
all the candidates thus far mentioned
he is best equipped by training and
temperament to administer the office of
governor in the vital years TO be COW
cred by the next administration. II
goes without saying that Windham
county Republicans will be for him al
most 20 man, and there is no reason
TO doubt that his candidacy will find |
strong support throughout the state.

town of Grafton in Windham county
state that the population of this back
town is only about 500, whereas in
1900 the population was s04 and in
1910 it was 729. If this sort of reces-
sion in population is indicative of gen

there will be woeful tale to tell when

PERsHING,s VISIT TO BOSTON

General Pershing's visit to Boston
and environs has served to smooth over
some of the ruffled feelings which may
have been felt in parts of New England
against the commander of the Amer.
lean expeditionary forces General Per-
shing seems to have been most cordially
greeted by Major General Clarence r.
Edwards and by representatives of the
state of Massachusetts,, and there were
few manifestations of animosity on the
part of others who might have been ex-
pected to assist in the welcome to the
distinguished visitor In his remarks
General Pershing paid tribute to the
26th division, as well as to its former
commander, Major General Edwards,
In return, General Pershing was given
the honors which should have been ac-
corded to a distinguished visitor who
had but recently returned from leading
two million American troops in the
Joint movement with others to accom-
plish the military defeat of Germany.
1t is to be hoped that General Pershing
overlooked any sights of a personal
nature which may have been intended
as a mark of displessure.

WOULD DESTROY INDUSTRY

It is this radical wing which Lenine Is operating against the future of the United States. It is his first object to gain control of the American Federa- ton of Labor by depriving Gompers and his conservative coadjutors of that nominal power which through suffer ance they still retain.
 If hescan acquire this control, he can tie up American industry within three months, cause general discontent, in- credible suffering, and widespread death

Washington. November 1s.-(Special> The American reds. under the domina- tion of the Russian dictator, Lenine, have been detected in plots for the de- struction of the American government.
 The situation is appreciated by the United States secret service authorities, by Congress, and by the American Fed eration of Labor. Each is moving to eliminate the danger.
 The federal authorities are endeavor- ing to locate and break up red nests in the United States which are periodi- cally in conference with Lenine. There is no doubt of this fact, inasmuch as communications have been detected and captured which prove that others have preceded, and that the programme is

TO OPPOSE GoMpERs

According to secret service agents, the plan of Lenine expressing itself through the reds of the United States, is, first. to gain control of the American Federation of Labor While Samuel Gompers is still president of the feder- at1on and while conservatives are ap- parently still entrenched in power, a most yirulent minority of the member ship has not hesitated whenever it de- sired to show it's contempt and inde- pendedenec of restraining influence. As members of the American Federation of Labor are many foreigners. During the time of war, when the life of the gov eminent was at stake, when civiliza- tion was at stake, this element repeat edly broke from the obligations imposed by labor, and engaged in many strikes to the hurt and detriment of the coun- try. This independence of the radical wing was again..s shown in the various outlaw strikes throughout the country. strikes which the federation did not only not condone but which it pro tested against with vigor. Again did this radical, un American wing display it's venom against Gompers. when, faroug gil it's love of the old, countries and it's hatred of the United States, it refused to follow the advice of the ad- Misery body of the federation that it support the democratic rather than the republican ticket in the national cleo

GAS-TIGHT CONTAINERS
PREVENT INSECT DAMAGE

eTn spite of the fact that there is
a profitable method of preventing in
sect injury to stored corn the Louis
lima crop continues to suffer an inn
mense annual loss from this cause,
ESPECIALLY from the weevil, while in
storage. All that is necessary to pre-
vent insect damage to stored corn is
to have a gas-tight container, bin,
room, or crib in which the corn may
be stored and fumigated with car
bon disulphid or high life to kill the
insect" says T. H. Jones, entomolo-
gist Of the Experiment Station, Lou
isiana State University. "This does
have doors, windows, or ventilators,
but it must be so constructed that
these can be very tightly closed for
fumigation. That no special type of
container is necessary is proven by
the satisfactory results obtained by
progressive farmers in the Gulf
States who have used their ingenuity
and built containers to meet their
own particular needs. One fuIniga-
ton should be made Immediately
after placing the corn in the contain
er and subsequent fumgatins may
be necessary if insects appear in the
corn.
at is best to husk corn that is to
be placed in tight containers and
fumigated. There are three reasons
for this. When corn is husked in the
field the number of insects carried
into the contained is lessened, stor-
age space is saved, and husked corn
can be more eaisly and cheaply fumi-
gated than corn in the husk.
There is a somewhat prevalent
idea in Louisiana that storing corn
with the husk on gives protection
from the weevil. As matter of fact
the husk does not give the protection
lit is supposed to. Some also have She
idea that corn cannot be huskedS as
easily here as in the North, where
all of it is stored husked. but th5se
who have had experience IN both &c
tons state that this is not so. W3th
the aid Of husking pin, the use of
which one soon becomes accustomed
to, corn can be husked just as easily
| in the South as in the North"

DESTROY THE GERM LADEN
ANTHRAX CARCASS

DR.. w. II. DalrymilC, Of the Louis

towing timely suggeSt'CES on COM
Latinr the carbon menace:
at will be remembered, tnat
Charlton or anthrax is caused by It's
own particular germ which IS some
times spoken of as infection; and this
particular germ, after getting into
the body, through incubation, on the
outside, or through being taken IN
side in infected food or water, gains
access to the blood circulation and
multiples there with great rapidlty,
so that, in a very short space OF tine
the blood contains myralds of these
serms which finally destroy the ami
nal or person. 1t will be seen, there
fore, the urgent necessity of destroy
ing the germ-laden carcass to pre-
vent the infection, of germs being
have to come in contact with the IN
fected blood. And while protective
measures are strongly advised, the
most important sanitary procedure
is to destroy the germs in the diseased
carcass to prevent their dissemna-
zion.
"The germ itself is a minute plant
and exists in two stages, viz: The
rod, which is found in the living
flood, and the spore or seed,
which is usually found on the out
side, on the soil, ETC., where it may
remain almost indefinitely and cause
more or less permanent infection.

DISCOVERY OF A LARGE
DEPOSIT OF NOVACULITE
A Natural Hard Road-Building
Material Made By The Egyptian
Gravel Company.

This new discovery should be es-
pecially interesting to counties bor-
dering on the Mississippi River, as
it is located on the Missouri bank of
the river, and on the Frisco Railroad.
The Egyptian Gravel Company has
q similar deposit that they are now
operating in Southern Illinois, and
are at this time shipping to several
points in Southeast Missouri. In
one County on the river that we are
serving, there are number OF
stretches Of road to be hard-surfacad
that has maximum wagon, truck or
industrial railroad haul % Is miles.
The tonnage required for one-half
this distance next to the river Will
amount to approximately 100000
tots, and this County VIII save $500
100000 easily by getting their
Novaculite by river from our Ms
souri, pits. The same condition ex-
lists in many other river counties.
We also have lower freight rates IT,
points on the western side of the
river.
We consider ourselves very for
tunate in the discovery Of this
Missouri deposit of Novaculite, as
we had been told by geclogists that
there were no workable deposits like
our Illinois deposit, lying in a hill
20 feet above the Frisco track, and
the western bank of the Mississippi
river. The bed is composed of the
alternating hard and soft layers. The
hard layers consist of fragments of
flint rock which give the required
strength and takes the wear under
traffic, while the softer layers con-
sist of kaolin clay which has very
high binding and cementig value. The
proper proportion of the coarse and
fine aggregate is the necessary re-
quirement to make a right mixture
Gust as essential as the proper per-
eentage of cement and heavy aggre-
gate to make concrete).
That our Illinois Novaculite is the
most economical hard surfaced ma
ferial to use in road constructor has
been proven beyond a doubt.
