The Difference of $50 Years

NOUVE heard the story Observation-Disclosures

VILLAGE. etc. That was in April, 1775. 1t was an all night JOB.
Today the Boston papers would slap extras on their presses
and in the shake of a little lambs tail the whole thrilling
message would be in each home of the we'll known county.
This represents the advance Of $50 years in the important
business Of spreading news.
The cry of "Exta-Exta" on the midnight air brings
startled folks to their doors as once did the pound Of a horses

planted the courier multiplied his effectiveness many times
increased his speed a hundred fold.
How far back we could go without newspapers! We
would remain in ignorance not only OF events at home and
abroad-but also Of much that concerns us just as vitality
news of the very things that have to do with the personal,
everyday life Of each one fus.
Somebody might be selling a new, better and more econom-

comfort and wel-bemg; or some better material tor making
shoes or clothing-but we would never know it.

Edison Easily Outd0ne.

Every father who has to take his boy
or boys to the circus knows that when it
comes to asking questions Edison is not
in it and his famous QUESTIONABLE be-
comes as simple as one. two, three. Just
take n cross section of the small boy
QUESTIONABLE on circus day:
1. Daddy. why is the elephants tail
on front? Why doesn't he step on it?
What would happen if he did?
=. What are the leopard's spots for ?
Has he the chickenpox?
3. Why do they have a tippopotamus
if they don't let anyone see him.?
/. Who will wash the elephants feet
after they have walked i'm the oil?
). What is a clown aud can he see ?
Doesn't his mother make him wash his
face?
6. What makes a balloon blow up and
where doesn't go to?
Z. Does God make the circus?
All of which is just a sample. 1t may
be some job answering the Edison ques-
tions, but for real stickers, commend US
to the small boy at his first circus.

THE Tr>REwARDED FIGHTERS

Representative Galliyan of Massachu
sets has introduced bill to stop the
worlds championship prize fights until
after congress shall have granted a bonus
to the war veterans. He argues that the
money which will be involved in staging
and viewing the fight would go far to-
wards paying the bonus.
Mr.. Gallivan is not opposed to athlet-
les, but he thinks there are fighters more
important to the life of the nation than
Dempsey, who have received scant recog-
milton, and many of whom are in actual
need, and he believes that while this
condition obtains the extravaganza in
volved in the prize fight is unseemly. His
idea is good, but unfortunately his prin-
ciple for demonstrating it is wrong.
The soldier bonus, if it were voted. is
public expenditure to be met by taxa
ton which will fall upon men of all
classes and incomes, including the sol
diers themselves, regardless of personal
inclination. The prize fight is private
diversion, financed by private funds, and
no man need spend a dollar towards it
unless he wishes to do so.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE Is, 1921.
THE CO-ORDINATOR

''You see there is sort of natural
conflict between the sales and production
departments" said the man who was ex-
planning his new job. 1t happens in al
most all big industrial plants. Our man
ager thought there was no reason why it
should not be ironed out. He saw what
ought to be done. but he isn't much on
over to me to see what / could do. They
call me the 'Co-Ordinator.'
The production department naturally
thinks it is the whole works, and has a
sneaking idea that the sales department
people are just parasites, running around
the country and living on the labor. of
those who know enough to make some
thing.
The sales department. on the other
hand. turns up its nose at the production
force, which it thinks could not exist a
minute alone.
when you get down to hard pan,
neither could exist without the other,
and their interests are the same
The problems constantly arising from
this conflict are brought to- me. l get
both departments to see both sides, and
together we work out the solution. I've
been at it several months, and so far it
has worked fine"
The listener inevitably thought of the
analogy to the great problem of the dis
tribution of food-perhaps the greatest
problem of the world today, and the most
wasteful and chaotic
Here are the farmers, producing with
labor and knowledge, with experience and
with skill-and because of the inefi-
cheney of distribution, great quantities
of their products rot.
Here is the sales force-commission
men, grocers. hucksters. necessary parts
of the process of tribution-contrib-
uting to the waste and choas for lack of
system and coordination with the pro-
ducers. Food is lost, labor is lost, skill
is wasted, and the consumer pays. Not
because the production force is no good
not because the distributors are para
sites; the world suffers because there is
no co-ordinator.

Agricultural Fairs Misnomers.
tBarre Times.

The filing of the dates for the various
agricultural fairs thus early in the sea
son is warning enough to the farmers
to prepare for that prize pumpkin. or
the best bushel of potatoes or the rosiest
looking apples. If the agricultural fairs
get back to first principles more, thereby
devoting a greater degree of attention
to things agricultural rather than to
things of the midway sort it will be
hrst-rate move for the betterment of Yer
mont. The agricultural fairs of Vermont,
as well "a of the whole of New England,
have deteriorated much from their former
standard because Of their pursuit of feat
ureS entirely unrelated to agricultural
affairs. We need a revival of the old time
agricultural fairs and of public interest i'm
them. We need a spirit of rivalry in
presenting the products of the farm for
exhibition and less of the biare and tin
sci of the cheap midway attractions. A
measure of side attractions of the better
class is well enough; but let the initial
idea be agricultural exhibits and nothing
else. Vermont will greatly benefit by
return to first principles in the matter of
agricultural fairs.

100000 HOUSES BURNED.

Much has already been written and
spoken about the waste of forest fires
and the need for their prevention. Until
forest fires have been greatly reduced in
number and extent there cannot be too
much publicity concerning them nor too
much agitation for adequate forest pro-
lection. Some statistics published dur
ing the recently observed Forest Protec-
ton week present the matter strikingly
and are therefore deserving of wide
study.
The timber annually destroyed in this
country by forest fires, so the United
States forest service statistician informs
us, is sufficient to build five-room frame
houses every 100 feet on each site of a
road extending from New York to Chi
cago. This would mean about 100000
houses. Putting in each house an aver
age family of. four persons, these build
ings would house the inhabitants of city
the size of Cincinnati. New Orleans.
Minneapolis, Kansas City, Mo, or Sc
attle
The extent of forest fires which have
occurred in the United States in the past
five years is equally amazing when reck-
oned in area. Burned-over regions total
36,4S8,O00 acres-7an area greater than
that included within Ohio and Pennsyl-
yania. Eighty per cent of these fires
were caused by human agencies and con-
sequently were prerentablp.

The loss of two lives at Hancock in

lided with a barn which protruded into
the highway is another sacrifice to the
mania for speed. The barn. which was
being removed to new site and had

was hung with warning lanterns and if
the operators of the motorcycle had been
travelling at a reasonable rate he could
have passed safely in the space left. But

For Is years. 1890 to 1906, Edgar Eras-
tus Clark. chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission. was chief of the Order
of Railway Conductors of America. When
Theodore Roosevelt was serving as presi-
dent, in what is loosely called his first
term, he made speaking tour through the
south, timing his journey so as to be in
Chattanooga during a convention of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. of
which organization he was to be made
an honorary member.
MIR Clark also went to Chattanooga
and Mr.. Roosevelt and he talked the same
night from the same platform to the same
audience. CLARK spoke without notes and
when he-feft the floor President Roosevelt
grasped his hand heartily and said: You

The woman's club of Pana, ILL.,, finds
that it underestimated the hy-swatting
abilities of the school children of that
town. To promote the extinction of the
pest, the club offered two months ago to
pay 10 cents for every 100 dead flies
turned in. The children thought this
an easy way to earn pocket money, so
they went after the flies with swatter in
each hand. Up to last Friday 256,0S0
flies had been turned in and the amount
of bounties paid had all but wrecked the
club treasury, forcing a withdrawal of
the offer.
