table in Washington the call of the President of
our country, to stop the war industry and promote
the industries OF peace to make the world happier
by Kidding It OF its greatest curse: to promote a
better era by creating better understanding
among the peoples.
Even 10 lift the staggering burden of
pendiiares will be wonderful work. but the even

Thinks Howe May Puncture Us.

II. w. Howe, the free lance of Kan
sas, has been touring Vermont under
the pilotage of Harry Parker, of the
Bradford Opinion, during which he
is reported to have Travelled some
100 miles in the state. Now that
he has finished his itinerary, and has
stated his views in several places to
different individuals, he is expected to
put them also in his paper later on.
The Barre Times opines that Mr..
Howe is likely to say good word for
Vermont, after being shown about so
well by the Bradford man. All of
which shows that the Times does not
know Mr.. Howe to any great extent.
Those who have had the opportunity
Of noting the Ebert Hubbard style
of the Kansan, know very WELL that
courtesy shown, know while here, by
individuals and organizations will not
deter him from puncturing anything
which he thinks needs puncturing and
lancing anything here which he thinks
needs opening up. And he will be
the sole Judge of the operation. II is
within the possibilities that when Mr..
Howe takes his pen in hand to give
his impressions of Vermont, they may
not read so bland and uninteresting
as some of us might wish. The Kan
san has habit OF speaking right out
in meeting.-Newport Express and
Standard.

Drouth In Border Towns.

The drouth has become serious in
this part of Vermont. Water sys-
TENS are nearly dry, hydro-electric
plants are running up a voltage with
difficulty, private sources of water sup
ply on farms are rapidly drying and
many stream has disappeared Der
by Line is suffering as much as any vii
lage in this part of the state, having
it's water supply but few hours each
day, Many other villages are suffering
serious shortage. North Troy's
electric plant has been unable to ope-
rate on its usual basis for some time
because Of low water and scores Of
farmers are hauling water for their
stock, in some instances for long dis
tances because of the failing of near
by streams never before gone dry.
The story comes from one farmer who
went to look at his cattle in back
pasture where three water systems
have heretofore furnished drink for
the stock, but which had all failed and
the cattle persisted. Heavy rains win
be necessary to keep the winter sup
ply of water in this section above the
danger line.--Barton Monitor.

Hard Roads an Issue.

Judging by the comments Of some
contemporaries, the question of hard
surface roads for the trunk lines OF
the state is likely to be a campaign
issue along with the governorship, the
legislature and the framing platforms.
II is rather early for actusl candi-
date talk, but the fact that there has
been such talk, together with the un-
doubted purpose of prospective candi-
dates for the legislature to make hard
roads a factor in the next assembly
brings up the question as at least
proper for discussion.
There are some fundamentals in
connection with the subject that sll
good roads advocates agree upon:
!. The present system of gravel
roads is inadequate for fast, heavy
traffic.
2. Hard surface roads would improve
travel, eliminate the dust nuisance
and bring the farmer closer to home
and other markets.
s. Hard surfaced roads mean a bond
issue.
The question is ~ whether the
state is ready for bond issue, (2l
whether our highway experts can build
road good enough to warrant bond
issue.
II is fair enough to say that Com
missioner Dix and his assistants are
not yet reads to recommend any spe-
cial type of road. They are building

THE MORTALITY RATE IN TNFAN
TILE PARALYSIS.

The health commissioner of the city
of New York charaeterizes the infan-
tile paralysis situation in his city as
abnormal but mot alarming" The
situation is decidedly abnormal when
one in five of the cases reported in
New York City since January, |, has
resulted in death. 1t might even be
considered alarming in that respect, al
belt the number of cases has not been
of much. relative Importance as com
pared with other diseases. There have
been 269 cases of infantile paralysis
reported during the calendar year up
to the present time, and of that num-
Der of patients So died. When such a
mortality rate exists it might well be
considered alarming that medical SCI
ence has not made greater advance N
knowledge Of how to handle the dis
ease. If there should be a similar pro-
portion of deaths in smallpox or diph-
liberia or influenza the public, includ-
ing the medical profession, would be
greatly concerned, not to say alarmed
over the failure of efforts to counter
act the outbreak. So we might as well
call spade spade and admit that
the infantile paralysis situation is
both abnormal and alarming-alarm-
ing to the extent that renewed and in
creased efforts be directed toward soly-
ing some of the mysteries connected
with the ailment.
Here in Vermont the state board Of
health and other health agencies have
been devoting much attention 10 the
disease and while it cannot be said,
perhaps, that any further advance has
been made in Vermont than elsewhere in
the development Of means to fight the
disease il is certain that the medical
profession and nurses have become
somewhat familiar with means Of
handling the cases through such a
study by persons especially designated
for the work. When the disease has
such mortality ratio as has been
shown in New York there is great need
Of a widespread study, not only by
experts but by those who may be
called into cases.

been limited to Burlington but have
represented places as far removed as
a hundred miles from that city. Mu-
sic loving people, and others less mr-
sically inclined but appreciative Of et-
forts to give Vermont the highest class
Of entertainments, have given good
support to most Of the attractions put
on at Burlington. 1t is to be hoped
that continued support will be given
to meritorious effort of the Burling-
ton management and that Vermont

several different types, getting data
on what they cost, studying the dust
and dashboard problems and may
have something definite to say later.
In this respect they are different from
some OF their mitic-enthusiasts.
One of the latter, at least, is pre-
pared to 90 to the legislature with a
state bonding plan, the money TO be
expended ~ for bituminous maeadam
or concrete trunk lines, t2l for water
proof gravel for cross state and other
semi-trunk lines.
1t is at least encouraging to find
good roads enthusiasts who are willing
TO serve on their town boards, write
letters to the newspapers and run tor
the legislature. Whether they win
have their full plan approved is an
other matter.

Much OF the propaganda in favor Of
more building operations is evidently
manufactured by the persons and cor
porations directly interested in house
building as means of profit TO them
selves. When enc learns that there
are approximately 10000 vacant apart
ments in the city of New York it
is readily belieyable that there is 10
great demand for new house construe-
tion at the present time in that city;
and conditions which obtain in New
York City are a fair index of condi-
tions throughout the entire country.
There is no crying need for construe-
tion of the housing accommodations
through the country as whole, albeit
there are instances here and there
where peculiarly local conditions have
caused an unusual demand for houses;
and it may be true, too, that renting
properties Of the better class are not
so numerous as to FIJI all demands m
medistely There viii be no real demand
for more houses until the return Of
prosperity to the country.

Those who are unacquainted with
the game wonder at the hold which
golf has on Pres. Harding, as well as
on other persons IN middle life. They
win wonder still more when they learn
that one club in Boston has just used
six tons of dynamite, used sixty three
double teams, two steam shovels and
three tractors and employed force Of
men running at time as high as $50
during the passing summer in order to
get new course in shape for playing
next season. In order to accomplish
this they had TO blast a considerable
amount Of solid rock. In the crowded
cities there are no pastures with roll
ing surface, convenient bunkers and
natural greens for ready adaptation to
the game; the devotees Of the game
have TO spend tens Of thousands Of
dollars before they can take a stroke,
in most instances unless they 20 .ar

ercise they get out Of the game.
