John Bull has warned France that
he will seriously object to that coun-
try's occupation of the Ruhr valley in
the event Germany invades upper ST.
lesia. John has, of course, some ul-
terror object in view,-probably sees
something in the distance to grab
but we should think he had better at
tend to his own affairs, which are in
an abominable muddle, instead Of at
tempting to dictate, the policy of his
mcighbor across the channel.

Old Colonel House, such an opti-

regime, is now overcast with gloom
and predicts that the country is fast
going to the demnition bowwows. One
reason for his sadness is perhaps due
to the fact that when Mr.. Wilson's
term expired his munifccnt salary
stopped instanfer.

Particularly Gratifying.

It is very gratifying to realize that
every township in fifty-five of the
Minnesota counties has formed farm
bureau organization, and that in many
ownships every farmer is on the mem

grain will be member of some CO.

Survey of Farm Costs.

The state department of agriculture
has an ambitious plan whereby it will
be made acquainted with @'costs" on
1,720 farms in Minnesota. It desires
to learn the cost of production of farm
products and for this purpose owners
of farms will be asked to fill out
questionnaires. Twenty farms will be
selected in each county.
The department wants to know
about taxes and depreciation and
profts-if there are any of the latter.
That many farms. in this state have
been operated at loss within the last
year is beyond question. Indeed, the
cry of agriculturists of Minnesota for
relief has as much to do with helping
along the Fordney-Y Young emergency
tariff bill as the appeal Of the farmers
Of any other state

investigation in the hope that the
problems Of farming might become
better known to the public and to the

As You Make Them.

Business conditions are largely
what the people themselves make
them. If we go around with our
noses in the air yelling hard times like
pack of bloodhounds baying at the
moon hard times will come just as
surely as night follows day. There is
psychological effect that you can't
get away from. If we tighten up and
hoard our money our neighbors will
do the same thing. If, on the other
hand, we go about our ordinary rou-
tine, spend as freely as usual, and
put in good hours at our various jobs,
there will be an optismistic tendency
that will sweep the pessimists off their
feet. You, yourself, are largely re-
sponsible for the times. You can make
them hard or good, just as you wish.
Are you smiling or growing today,
brother ?-Winnebago Enterprise.

Edison and His Fool QUESTIONABLE.
Edison recently sent . questionable
to some college graduates vino had ap-
piled for positions in his shops. He
declares that the answers displayed
Amazing ignorance" on the part of
the applicants. That depends on the
sort of questions propounded. Not
long ago Henry Ford, a close friend
of Edison, was, on the witness stand
in Michigan and showed deplo~ablc
lack Of knowledge in the very rudi-
ments of what should be the equip
mcnt Of one aspiring to a United
States senatorship, yet Edison would
hardly call him amazingly ignorant.
Ford knows all about making and
marketing cheap automobiles; Edison
is reputed to have profound knowl-
edge Of electricity; but outside Of their
chosen fields they would both probably
be surpassed in general mental equip
ment by the college graduates who
failed on the Edison qucstionnaire.-

"a Acres of Certified
Vermont SpudS

Much is in public hints just now
because the new Duchess of MARI
borough has been specializing in
the raising of potatoes on one Of
her English estates and has been
personally active in the harvesting
of her present seasons crop of
spuds. The English Duchess has
nothing on the potato growers of
Aroostock county, Maine and the
Aroostook county spudsters have
nothing on Dimick and Pike the
Orange county, Vermont, farmers,
who have just recently completed
the harvesting of a record crop Of
II, 401 bushels of as fine notatoes
as ever came out of the soil. They
are of the Green Mountain variety,
Ehh from certified seed, and were
grown on 81 acres of the best land
in Orange county. This undoubted-
ly represents the largest indivi-
dual field of potatoes in Vermont
this year.
Alphonse S. Copn of st. JOINS
bury was one Of the potato field
superintendent and William Bur-
chill of Waterford has just return
ed from his seasons work in this
big potato harvest. He, said he
dug one hill that netted ten
pounds and six ounces and that 1t
was nothing unusual to roll out
a hill yield of this size of the very
finest tubers ever raised. All of
this stock is from the most APP
proved certified seed and brings
the highest market prices.
When one considers that, count
ing 10 bushels to each family of
five people, this one crop would be
sufficient to supply everybody in
St. Johnsbury with potatoes for
the entire year, one will begin to
realize the magnitude of this con-
spicuously successful Orange
county agricultural enterprise.
Julian A. Dimock of East Cor
NTH the senior member in this
enterprise, has bilt a new ware
house this summer with a storage
capacity for storing 100000
pounds of potatoes, and this years
bumper crop is expected to fill it
to overlooking.
The Dimock apples are becom-
ing about as famous and as stand
ard as the Dimock potatoes, and
it all goes to prove that all that is
necessary to put such enterprises
across successfully in Vermonts is
sufficient financial baking and the
ability and judgment to do the
work as it ought to be done.

WILLIAM E. TUCK
FORMER NEWPORT
MAN BURIED
Due to Bright's Disease,
Death Occurred at
Newport, r. /.

After a short prayer service at
the Congregational church at
two O'Clock on Saturday afternoon
William E. Tuck was buried in
the Kendall lot in the Main street
cemetery.
The services were attended by
many old friends of the family and
former business associates of MI.
Tuck. Rev. Leland A. Edwards,
pastor Of the Congregational
church was the officiating clergy
man. The service was in charge
of George F. Root, and the bear
ers We're H. G. Blanchard, c. c..
Davis, w. w. True and c. A.
Brown.
William e Tuck was born in
Georgeville, P. O., Jan. 6, 1S47 and
was nearly Is years of age. He
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Tuck of Georgeville, P. O., one of
the substantial families of Stan
stead county of that time. He is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Martha
West Tuck, three sisters, Mrs.
Mary Bullock and Miss Helen
Tuck of Somelville, Mass, and
Mrs. James Hepburn of Montreal,
P. O., also two brothers John Tuck
of Tuck's Landing, P. G., and
Whitfield Tuck of Winchester,
Mass.
For many years he was a sue
cessful salesman for the firm OF
Wheeler Blodgett and Co. of Bos-
ton and his contact with men OF
large affairs gave him breadth
of vision possessed by few men OF
his time.
Mr.. Tuck was a prominent fig
ure in the civic and social life of
the community during the years of
his residence in Newport, where
he located after his marriage in
1886 to Mrs Dwight West, who
will be remembered as Martha
Kendall, the daughter of Capt.
and Mrs. George w. Kendall
Among other enterprises, Mr..
Tuck bought practically all of
Prospect Hill, developed Highland
Avenue and promoted much build
ing in that section. A large por-
ton of the hill was afterwards
sold to Rev. A. P. Clermont and is
the site of the present Catholic
church and the Sacred Heart con-
vent.
As a member of the firm of the
Tuck and Moore Manufacturing
Co. that business developed from
very small beginnings to almost
its present proportions As a real
estate dealer he was optimistic
and far seeing and always predict
ed a greater Newport.
In 1898 or whereabouts a dry
goods business in Newport r. l.,
in which he had large interests,
claimed his whole attention and
moving to that city he was iden-
tiled with it until about seven
years ago, when he retired from
active business on account of al
health.
Bright's disease reached the
acute stage about four weeks be-
fore his death which occurred
Nov. 18th. Funeral services were
held at his late home on Rhode
Island Ave. Thursday, Nov. II,
and the body was brought to this
city Friday evening ACCOMPANIED
by Mrs Tuck and Miss Marion
Tuck
Mr.. Tuck was a member of the
Masonic Order and was an active
worker in the Congregational
church while in Newport He had
a personality that won for him
the friendship of all those with
whom he came in contact. and he
had the rare faculty of retaining
these friendships. His was a
genial kindly nature, genuinely
interested in the affairs of state.
and devoted to his home and
friends.
