FOOD As FUEL.

The secretary of agriculture the other
day made public statement of the COM
parative values of corn and coal as fuel,
with the specific comment; In districts
where corn is very cheap now, the coal
is usually of rather poor grade and is
selling at high prices. Under such con-
ditions it will pay both farmers and peo-
pie in the country towns to use corn in
stead of coal
This use of food as fuel is nothing new.
Corn has been so used often in the past
in the United States, mostly on farms.
In Argentina corn and small grains have
been used as fuel both on farms and in
power plants. These facts, however, do
not lessen civilizations disgrace and re-
sponsibility in such state of affairs.
With great areas of population suffer
ing from acute hunger and actual star
walton and others forced to burn as a
fuel nourishing food which would go far
toward relieving the hunger. there is lit
tie ground for pride in modern methods
of distribution. 1t is true that we have
our fast trains, our Waterways and great
steamship lines, our motor trucks and
airplanes, all performing marvellous serv-
ices undreamed of a few generations ago.
Yet with all our mechanical equipment,
somehow our distribution breaks down,
leaving food to rot or be consumed as fuel,
leaving food producers to sustain finan-
cia1 losses after they have done their best
IN 20 isn Good crODc ouI y4-orcf Of oil
leaving millions of human beings in des-
perate need of food to suffer hunger and
disease for lack of it.

4 New Norwich Service.
Isl. Albaus Messenger


The idea of public service outside the
academic walls has seemingly taken firm
root in Vermont's collegiate institutions
The latest demonstration of this Is the
establishing of q bureau of municipal re
search by Norwich university under the
direction Of Professor Flint, who has
come to the front in this state On matters
pertaining to local governments
Norwich is to be congratulated ON this
step Vermont municipalities are inter-
estlng themselves increasingly IN the
matter of better management OF civic af-
fairs. and while there are municipal bu-
reaus in existence they are located in
large cities and it frequently develops
that they are unable to catch the spirit
of small communities.
In some ways NermOnterS are pc
culiar people: in a class unto themselves.
They have their own way of looking at
things and have their own long developed
institutions which they dislike 70 see up
rooted even though they may be willing
to have something beneficial grated on
to them.
1t would not be surprising to The Mes
Senger il the Norwich bureau taking this
fact into consideration and being IN po-
sition to know Vermont and Nermonters,
might b. able to render more satisfactory
service than the more pretentiOuS bureaus
and thus hasten the day of Improvement
in municipal organization and govern
ment. There is promise of much good
in the attempt and Norwich is making
progressive contribution to the state.

Suggests a State Manager.
Springfield Reporter. }

The suggestion made by Auditor Benja-
min Gates at the Rutland meeting of the
Greater Vermont association, that Yer
mont should elect a governor to give his
whole time to the administration of state
funds, excites a wonder as to why the
worthy auditor did not propose to install
q state manager system. similar to the
town manager system, which the munich
palities that have tried it find to be a
businesslike method of administration of
affairs and one which keeps expenditures
within appropriations. With a man like
Mr.. Gates as state manager in charge of
a state budget, we might in time reach
such a state of bliss that death and taxes
would no longer be the twin companions
of our dread The latter might be ex-
pected to drop to the point where they
would cease to worry. and the absence of
worry would add appreciably to the length
of life. 1t was noticeable that at this
association meeting, while retrenchment
and lower taxes. were the issues of the
hour, there was no disposition to curtail
the state highway work, to cripple the ed
vocational system or hinder the depart
ment of agriculture in its efforts to Grad
icate bovine tuberculosis, or, in fact, to
do away with any of the good things of
life for the sake of economy. We want
them all but we do hate to pay for them.

A FIXED EASTER

Easter has been a stated festival of the
Christian church for more than 1900
years, but never fixed one. Now there
seems reason to believe that. instead of
wandering between March - and April
p, according to the WITNESSES of the
moon, its variation may be limited
The vatican has just announced an
Astronomical conference which will be
held in Rome in April under the presi-
dency of Cardinal MERCER, and which
may undertake the reforming of the cal
endar, and the restriction of the Easter
date. Under the existing ecclesiastical
rule, Easter may fall on any one of 50
days-and about one in five comes in
March, as did the last one.
Some calendar refOrmers have even
suggested a radical revision which would
make the same week day come always on
the same date, and their views are sure
to be presented. Others, and these are
more sure of a hearing, will urge that the
festival be assigned to the third Sunday
after the spring equinox-thus falling al
ways between April ) and April Is, ac-
cording to the week day of the equinox
Whatever may be the decision, the plan
may be expected to become universal
throughout western Christendom The
Greek Catholic church, however, has al
ways chung to the Julian calendar in pref
! erence to the Gregorian, so that there
have usually been two casters every
year. 1t will undoubtedly be slow to fol
low the lead of Rome
