Washington, March 1.--The Senate frankly discussed relations between the United States and Japan for two hours late today behind closed doors, but the situation presented by repub- lican leaders failed to shake opposi- ton to the naval appropriation.
 After the doors were opened, s~nesvf Borah, republican, Idaho, and othet leaders in the fight against the bill, declared emphatically that the meas ure in its present form could not be passed before Congress adjourned Fri day. The Senate then swuns into a long night session with a promise by Senator Poindexter, republican, Wash ington, in charge of the bill, that it would be held in continuous session until action had been taken enc way or another.
 The motion for the secret session was made by Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, the republican leader and chairman of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee. He suddenly inter- rupted long open debate on the bill by expressing the hope that the meas ure would be passed by this Congress- and adding that there were some angles" of the question which should not be discussed.
 GIVES NEW INFORMATION
 After the galleries had been cleared senator Lodge was understood to have presented new information regarding controversies between the United States and Japan other than that over California alien land law. one of the matters said to have been discussed was the Pacific island of Yap, over which Japan holds a mandate. The United ssates Las viGGrpusiy rrotested agninSt this mandate to the Council uf the League of Nations, and also has saiS en the subject up direct with the Japanese government.
 Several senators were reported to
 have expressed the view that the
 controversy with regard to the
 Island yas certain to become a seri-
 ous and delicate problem in the
 near future.
 Senator Lodge was said to have told the Senate that in view of the present controversies with Japan and the posi- tion of the United States in world af- fairs, this country should continue it's naval building programme. He also was reported to have emphasized the desirability of advising Japan that the United States is ready to spend mill lions of dollars to protect it's interests in the Pacific.
 President-elect Harding also was un- derstood to have been quoted as advo- eating an adequate navy.
 WILLIAMS DISSENTS
 Senator Williams, democrat, Missis- sippi. sharply challenged the position taken by Mir. Lodge. He was said to

The story in a recent number of the
New England Homestead of the mar
keting of maple sugar by St. AL
bans bank for the benefit of the farm
ers of that section only emphasizes
what this paper has said could be
done. Why not central warehouse
for maple sugar in this section where
the product of every maple grove may
be taken, graded, stored and put on
the market when and in such quantity
and package as the consumer de-
mands, the warehouse receipt fo1
maple goods deposited there being
sufficient collateral for borrowing
money at the bank. Such cooperative
schemes are worked in other sections
of the nation and with proper plan
ming and cooperation might be
brought about here. And while we
are suggesting, why not a potato
warehouse too?

Barton's Vision and Enterprise.
(Stanstead. P. O.. JournaD

Barton village is very enviable in
it's management of it's business af-
fairs. It owns it's water system,
and when it was originally installed
was fortunate in securing supply
sufficient for more than ten times
it's present population Twenty five
or thirty years ago a good hydro
electric plant was installed, and now
new $4,000 fre-proof transformer
station is being added to the electri-
cal equipment. This season severa
yards of new concrete sidewalk have
been built. With all these important
additions to equipment: l. e., water
system probably worth 100000; 6
lighting and power, plant easily
worth $25O,OOO, and the various 9th
er assets, and an Indebtedness of on
ly about $4,000, this village is ar
object lesson in municipal manage
ment. One man said: Barton is
fortunate in having May pond only
two and onelhalf miles away, anc
400 or 500 feet above the village
street level" This is true, but il
required vision and enterprise tt
make May pond available and to har
ness the Clyde falls. Is miles away
for light and power. We cannot
help concluding that Barton has {
something we all need. and perhap;
it is vision and enterprise.

HARNESS. Specifications Please.
(Springfeld Reporterj

In speaking of w. S. Rossiter's
pessimistic view of this state, pre-
scented to the Greater Vermont asso-
citation meeting in Rutland, the Yer
gennes Enterprise says there are on
ly two things standing in the way
Of our progress-one of them is the
leaving home of Vermont boys and
girls to find fame and fortune in
other states, and the other is the
sending of millions of Vermont mon
ey out West to swell the grand lists
of towns in that part of the coun-
try while ours declines. In this sum-
ming up of the situation and true
it is-the Enterprise unintentionally
emphasizes the two basic principles
of the Hardness plan of progress, on
which it's comments have been here
tofore in a somewhat satirical vein
Reconciling it's present position with
its previous attitude may be a bit
embarrassing but it is not without
possibilities of amusement for the
observer. "Bring about condi-
tion," concludes the Enterprise
whereby Vermont boys and girls
and Vermont money will be kept at
home, and we won't have to call in
orators from outside our borders to
tell us what ais our state" All of
which is Hartness doctrine, pure and
simple.

The Orleans County Jersey Cattle
club was non-existant a year ago
but is today good example of what
cooperation can do. AS told in notes
from the club printed elsewhere in
this issue Jersey breeders who have
had surplus stock to dispose of have
found it possible to market their ami
mails through the club when as indi-
vidual breeders it would have been
difficult to find as ready or as profit
able market. No doubt, too, the
club, as such, has had an influence in
bringing to the county, some excel
lent blooded animals for members of
the organization. BY dispelling sus-
picion and jealousy and bringing
about fellowship and cooperation
farmers organizations will finally
win their place among other organiza-
tions of business men. Our repeated
advice to the farmer is, "Stand to-
Eether-"
