At the battle of Gilboa, in which
King Saul and his three sons were
slain, the Ark of the Covenant was
captured by the Philistines and car
ried as trophy and placed in one of
tleir heather temples. The idol in the
temple was broken and the ark was
taken to another temple with disas-
trous results, so the Philistines sent
the ark back to the Israelites. 1t was
placed in the house of Abinadab,
where it remained twenty years.

Presumably the purpose is to create
so much confusion and chaos that the

There is one way such a struggle can
be avoided. That is for the members
of the legislature to refuse to be STAN
peded into the contest. 1t would seem
that there has been fair warning given
in advance so that no member ought to
be taken unawares.

4 Castlet"n apple grower has shipped
-"""n carloads of fine apples to the New
! DIRK market and has had no difficulty in
disposing of them ut good prices. More
over he expects to send two carloads
more before the end of the season. with
the expectation of getting good returns.
The apple grower has been conducting
his operations on a modern, scientific
scale. Nine carloads of apples repre-
sent a good years work when it is con
sidered that one car takes about 100
barrels. Other apple growers in Yer
mont are doing things on the same scale
and are making a good thing out of the
business. They are helping to build up
Vermonts fame as an apple growing
state. just as the state already has fame
for maple sugar. butter. horses. granite
and various other products. If similar
methods could be introduced throughout
the entire state. albeit on a similar scale.
Vermont's fame for apples could soon
equal the Pacific slopes name for the
same product.

A new book entitled Quests or Poems
in Prose by Sylvia Hortense Bliss is
fresh from the press. Prof. Arthur w.
Peach of Norwich university, author of
The Hill Trails, writes that the author
certainly has caught in this book, as
far as one can ever imprison it, the
mysterious spirit we call beauty. Many
of them possess the haunting quality I
always associate with the best verse"
The Rev. A. w. Hewitt. author of The
Harp of the North, writes: You have
written some real literature. Your work
often reminded me of Rabindranath Ia
gore" The author. Miss Sylvia Hor-
tense Bliss, lives in East Calais, and
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
e. Bliss. She is well known as an ac-
complished musician, church organist
and music teacher. a student of nature
and a botanist, having placed a collec-
ton of several hundred mounted flow
ers and ferns in the Kellogg-Hubbard
library at Montpelier. The nature Sec
ton of her book bears witness to close
observation and intimate acquaintance
with the subject Her former literary
activities include contributions to The
Vermonter, Etude, and American Jour
nal of Psychology.

The Corpus Deficit.
(Hartford COurant. }

The Pennsylvania authorities who
have in charge August Pasquale on the
belief that he kidnapped and killed the
COughlin child have so far succeeded in
proving nothing except that PasQuale
is a versatile liar. He confessed that
he accidentally smOthered the child while
taking it away from its parents and
then threw its body in the SchuylkiIl
river and, two or three days later, he
repudiated the confession.
Now the district attorney of Mont
gOmery county says that he cannot
charge Pasquale with the murder of the
child because he cannot find the child's
body. Without that there is no proof
of murder. Without the child or its
body there lacks evidence of kidnapping
and at present fluent and voluntary false
hood does not constitute serious
crime in Pennsylvania. For these reas-
ons Pasquale remains a white elephant
on the hands of the Montgomery county
officials and may be released from GUS
tody as soon as the district attorney
can get around to it.
Yet, if we remember Alright the YER
mont authorities faced like problem a
year or more ago and solved it in their
own way. In this case a crippled child
was missing and the woman who cared
for it was arrested, charged with caus-
ing it's death. The body was not found
but the authorities held the woman and
continued their search for the body which
was 50 necessary to the prosecution. 1t

wares. even though sugar is noticeably
cheaper.
True" said the candy men, sugar is
down but those who buy high-priced
candy must still pay for the box and the
ribbon. Sugar constitutes only one-third
of the ingredients which go into our
candy. Boxes are 40 per cent higher
than they were in April, while ribbon and
labor are getting higher all the time"
The solution is simple if the candy buy
ing public will just adopt it. 1t is to
stop buying expensive boxed candy. Buy
of the dealer who sells a good grade of
candy but will wrap it in the good old
fashioned container which knows no style
nor era-the paper bag. The candy will
taste just as good. and the makers who
intend to trade upon human extravaganza
and keep prices up will receive the jolt
of their lives.
The dealer in any commodity who is
strenuously advertising his reasons for
keeping prices up is the very one who
should be forced to lower them. He is
trying to dodge his share of the general
burden.

Baby at the Fair.
lSpringfeld Reporter. }

(Springfeld Reporter.)
The Vermont state fair. in its provis-
ion for the comfort Of those i'm attend
ance, included a we'll arranged nursery
in which nearly a hundred infants were
cared for a period of two hours each
and on the biggest day of the fair it had
26 babies on the beds and in the cribs
at one time. The most interesting
thing about this isfthe fact that so many
parents will torment themselves, their
children and everybody anywhere near
them by taking babeS-in-armS to such
places as circuses, fairs, concerts and
lectures with the idea of deriving even
a moments enjoyment from those forms
of entertainment. The infants rebel
loudly az they have a perfect right to
do; for they know they ought 10 be at
home. The noise and confusion frets
and tires them, and it doesn't help mat
ters a bit to hold them up in front of
the elephant, the man-eating tiger. the
roaring lion, the barking fakir or the
dancing bear. The mothers hat is al
ways on one side of her head. her hair

in that her husband habitually drives
their car in "a reckless and wilfully ma

he is accused of replying: What's the

claim he is a victim of what is known

New England Soil Not Poor.
Now England Homestead

There is too much talk about the poor
land of New England in comparison with
the rich land Of the western states. The
average production of corn. oats. and po-
tatoes per acre in New Hampshire. for
example, during the past 10 years was
greater than that in any of the states of
Iowa, Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Missouri,
Nebraska Kansas, Minnesota. Michigan
and Wisconsin. according to the 1919 re
port of the department of agriculture. In
cidentally, New Hampshire raised more
potatoes per acre than any of the 10
eastern states except Maine, and more
oats per acre than any except Vermont.
Yet the price of land here per acre has
advanced less than in any of the 10 east
ern or 10 western states. New Hamp-
shire is especially mentioned. since the
popular western idea is that the Granite
state has nothing but the White noun
tains and scenery.

Back to Vermont.
BARRE Times.l

The labor market in Vermont has not
eaSed up materially, as one might judge
by recalling that several of the leading
industries of the state have been adver-
tising all summer for workmen and are
continuing to do so. Now that so many
men are being turned off in the large
cities, it would seem that the time is
about ripe for back-to-V Vermont move
ment. Moreover, taking it by and large,
a year-around job in Vermont is more
satisfactory than the temporary big pay
in the large cities. 4 good many men
with families are finding it SO when they
are compelled to move their goods and
families over considerable distances
twice in the space of as many years, or
less.
