BURLINGTON, May 25.-The plan of
the Vermont Women Teachers associa-
tion which has been under consideration
since last fall for standardizing the rural
schools of the state has been adopted by
the state board of education at a meeting
of the members held here yesterday in the
Hotel Vermont. Mrs. Dorothy Garfield
Fisher of Arlington. the new member of
the board and the first woman to occupy
such an office in the state, attended her
first board meeting.
Mrs. Mary Deyette of the Burlington
high school met with the board and the
Standardization plan was discussed in de
tail With few amendments the plan
will be put into operation the coming
school year.
In brief the plan contemplates the
classification of rural schools and cam
paign to improve them in practical partlc-
ulars. including the condition OF the build
ingS equipment and facilities, hygiene,
grading and qualifications of teachers.
Schools which attain reasonable require
ments will be rated as standard schools
and those which reach a higher grade as
superior schools. The latter will receive
plates or placards advertising them as
such. 1t is the plan of the state board to
engage a superior of rural schools to as
sist in the Standardization and it is ex-
pected that this plan will largely solve
the rural school problem.

MOVIE CENSORSHIP
IN MASSACHUSETTS
Governor Cox Signs Bill TOday-Thinks
1t VIII Help Moving Picture
Industry.

BOSTON. May 25.-Movies in Massa-
chusetts will be under state censorship
hereafter, Governor Cox having signed a
bill with that provision today. Super
vision will be exercised by the department
of public safety. Exhibitions of any film
not formally passed is prohibited.
A bill with these and other provisions
was vetoed last year by Governor Coo
lidge as unconstitutional, but Governor
Cox i'm a statement today said the objec-
tiorabla features had been eliminated
and the attorney general had ruled that
the bill was constitutional. Instead of
hurting the motion picture industry. the
governor said the bill would help it in
that it would protect producers of good
films from competition of a low order.
The civilized nations of the world, it
has just been computed, strike about
100000 matches every minute of the "a
hours.

INTIMIDATION
IN IRISH ELECTION
Charged that BallOting In
Ulster Is PrecariOus
Undertaking
NATIONALISTS ARE
BEATEN IN STREET
Attacked Both Coming and Going at
Polls - UniOnists Claim Their Sup
porters Are Prevented from Voting -
Unprecedented PRESERVATION.


Unprecedented PRESERVATION.
BELFAST, May % (Associated Press).
Wholesale charges of intimidation dur
ing the balloting in Ulster for members
of the new northern Irish parliament are
being made by both the Nationalists and
the Unionists. \ Nationalist newspaper
cites dozens of incidents with names in
which it declares Nationalist voters were
beaten on their way to the polls or after
voting, thus preventing others from at
tempting to cast votes.
The Unionists likewise claim their sup
porters were prevented from exercising
the franchise in Nationalist districts.
Neither side appears to attempt to con-
ceal the fact that personation was car
ried on to an unprecedented extent.
In all sections where Protestants and
Catholics live side by side there have been
incidents which required the attention
of the police. Ballymacarett, despite the
fact that Catholics were largely driven
from its confines last July. proved to be
the hottest corner of the city.
Many Of its residents of both perSua-
Sions were nursing sore heads last night
while the police, reinforced by Black and
Tans and soldiers in armored cars, were
in possession of the streets.
Trouble was started when PrOtestants
held a demonstration outside of st. Mat
theNv's Catholic church. and was intensi-
fled when a Sim Feiner raised a flag
right in a Protestant street. Stone
throwing and a few revolver shots We're
exchanged before the police broke up the
crowds and formed cOrdonS between the
rival factions.
The Sim Fcin quarter here is isolated
so it kept the military busy in preventing
it from being invaded and its flags, among
which were many American flags. from
being torn down and the houses attacked.

RANGE STOCK is IMPROVED
All Kinds Of sires, Bulls Especially,
Are Receiving Close Scrutiny
by Breeders.

In the Western range states all
kinds Of sires-bulls especially-are
receiving scrutiny by live stock own
ers There is increasing evidence that
good purebred males have wide infiu
ence on the quality of young stock
and on the returns from stock-raising
operations.
One day recently the United States
Department of Agriculture enrolled in
the "Better Sires-Better Stock"
movement several ranchmen, each of
whom had more than 1000 head Of
live stock. One flock of sheep con-
tanned $50 purebred ewes and 3,450
crossbred ewes, the sires being all
purebred. A cattle raiser who enlist
ed in the campaign the same day noti-
fed the department: II have disposed
of two grade Hereford bulls recently,
having decided to run nothing but
purebred sires" This remark is
typical Of the progress Of the move
ment in Montana.

INCOME FROM FARM DEPENDS
ON THE SIZE OF BUSINESS

1t requires farm business Of At
least fair size to provide an income
that will merely cover maintenance
charges, and these charges are relative
ly higher for small farms than for large
ones, say specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. A
farm may be Of such size as to furnish
most living needs of the farmer, such
as vegetables and fruits, as well as
enough income to pay the taxes and
running expenses, but unless there is
a margin above this annual maintenance
charge no progress can be made toward
accommodating surplus.
This point is often overlooked, and
thousands of men fail to understand
why they do not get ahead faster,
when, as matter Of fact, the size of
their business is such that there is
only slight possibility of any margin
being left after obtaining bare living
and paying absolutely necessary run
ming expenses. Often the income is in
sufficient even to do this, and the FAR
mer and his family have to 60 without
some of the comforts Of life.
Thus it is that the size of the farm
business is one of the most important,
if not the most important, factor to be
considered in selecting farm. In de-
termining the value of farm in this
regard it is essential, specialists say,
to make sure Of three things:
That You have an opportunity, that
is, make sure that the desired volume
of business is at least potentially pres
ent, as evidenced by tillable land or
by markets for intensive crops on small
areas.
That the volume of business can be
achieved by economical methods.
That the volume of business that can
be conducted on the farm is such that
it will yield an income large enough to
provide comfortable margin, after pay
provide comfortable margin after
paying the absolutely necessary ex-
penses of operation and providing an
adequate living for the farmer and his
family, for saving or future demands.

DRIED AND CANNED PEACHES
MAKE FINE FRUIT BUTTER

Springtime often finds the house
keepers supply of jellies and jams in
a depleted condition. When this is the
case, peach butter made from canned
and dried peaches may well come to the
aid
The following recipe recommended by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture food specialists is delicious:
To each four pounds of dried peach
es use two quarts of canned peaches
Soak the dried peaches in water sew
eral hours and cook until tender. Add
the canned peaches and rub the pulp
through colander or wire seive. Stir
two and one-half pounds of sugar into
this pulp and cook slowly, or until the
right thickness. Pack while hot and
sterilize like peach butter.

Socialist organizers These socialists
do not believe in ownership of property
by individuals-they believe that the
state should conduct all business and
industry.
Was a Graft Pure and Simple.
The other fellows business always
looks easy and the money he is making
seems to be graft pure and simple.
The Socialists yammer about profits
that business men and manufacturers
make, and from their language, which
is usually unrestrained, the banking
business was a snap. 1t sure sounds
easy. Open bank. people deposit
money; you lend it and keep the in
terest. That is the way banking look
ed to the Nonpartisan League officials,
so the first thing they did when they
won control of North Dakota was to
start a real big bank and force money
into it-millions and millions. They
were going to make 80 much profit out
of these operations that they could e1-
pand their power to all of the other
states.
But banking is something different
from the conception of it that Town
ley and his machine held. Money can
not be scattered about as the Nonparti-
sans scattered the funds of the Bank
of North Dakota and get it back
again. 1t seemed to them that there
would be money for all if only they
could get state bank going. Credit
could be expanded endlessly. They
neve cared to remember that the funds
they were building -four mills and
homes with, that they were lending to
their friends on thirty years time,
We're the funds of the cities, counties
and school districts, money accumulated
by them for carrying on their business,
and that they would need that money
some day. This was forgotten, and no
drunken sailors ever scattered funds
abount more recklessly than the Non
partisan League management Of North
Dakota did with state money.
And now when a city or county de-
mands its money, the Nonpartisans as
sert that the owners Of the money, by
their impudent demands, are trying to
wreck the Bank of North Dakota.
Maybe they know better and maybe
they don't. 1t would never do to ad-
NIT that they have bungled the affairs
of the state. The song they have to
sing is that Wall Street came out all
the way to North Dakota and wrecked
them, and that every depositor who is
trying to get his money back so that
he can use it is tool Of Wall Street.
The question is, will the North Dakota
farmers fall for this dope again? The
recall election will tell the story.

TO RESTORE MORGAN STRAIN
Efforts Of Department Of Agriculture
Shown In Recent 300-Miie Test
for Horses.

Efforts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to restore the
Morgan strain of horses, which had be-
come nearly extinct, showed their ef-
feet in the recent 3O0-mile test for
army horses. Out of 27 entries, only
ten finished, and Of these the sixth and
seventh were Morgan horses, one OF
them raised on the departments stock
farm in Massachusetts,. The horses
were required to travel go miles day
for five days, carrying the regulation
cavalry load of 245 pounds.

Dakota.
The preceding legislature voted $780,
600 to the immigration department,
supposed to advertise the advantages
of soviet rule in the state. A few days
ago there was read in the state senate
letter from one of the employees Of
the immigration department revealing
how the state agents were grating $40
per acre from settlers, in addition to
the regular fees and salaries they re-
ceived from the state for the purpose
of winning settlers. This letter created
great sensation in the senate, and
efforts were made to keep it from get
ting into the newspapers.
Incidents of this kind are picayune,
Just petty larceny, and not worth con-
sidering in comparison with the wreck
Of the states credit, and the enormous
losses that farmers and business msn
have suffered through having their gov

the results. The pigs sold for fancy
price. JEFF. who had made sure prog
ress, saved some money from his labor
and in 1918 entered the Kentucky
State College of Agriculture for It's
short course.
He had been used to seeing his moth
yards up hill for washing and cook
ing. At the agricultural college he
realized the convenience and benefit
to be gained by running water conduct
ed to tap in the kitchen. When he
returned home he persuaded his father
to let him put in a-water system. A
stand pipe GO feet high was built with
a 5OO-gallon tank on top, which gave
sufficient pressure to force water to
the dwelling 400 feet away. He rigged
up gasoline engine and pump at the
spring under the hill He had learned
Il little about plumbing, so he did all
the pipe fitting in the house. One
months work at odd times coupled
with little of the knOwlege he had
gained at the State College of Agricul-
ture put the water right into the

plete his college education; and they're
still raising better pigs at the Ander-
