TEN YEARS AGO TODAY

(From the Times-RecOrder Deem
Der 10, 1919
WITH such CELEBRITY has the grand
jury of Sumter county dispatch
ed business at this term of the court
that a finish has welI-night been
made, and that body will be ready
to adjourn in a day or two. The
grand jury is going after some of
the boldest blind tigers said to be
selling whisky in Americas, the in
formation of which the tigers are
naturally greatly alarmed.
Col. E. j. Willingham and Col.
B. P. O'Neal, prominent citizens and
capitalists of Macon, were in Ameri-
Gus yesterday, the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Council, en- route to
South Georgia, where they have pur-
chased a magnificent tract of 1000
acres and will develop it highly next
year A great tract will be
planted in pecans, Col, Willingham
being an enthusiastic and successful
grower, and vast areas will be de-
voted to cereals and the great staple,
cotton.
Yesterday closed the dinners that
have been served by the ladies of
the Hospital association for the past
eight days at the Armory. While it
is not yet known how the figures will
run, it is likely that 5000 will be
realized from the service, all of this
going to the hospital fund.
1t hardly seems year since the
brilliant opening of the new CONNER
cial home of Chas. L. Ansley, when
many hundreds of people throughout
the county came to pay their first
visit to the great emporium of fash
ion, Today Mr. Ansley is celebrating
the anniversary of his first removal
into his new home, a year which has
been entirely satisfactory to him in
every way.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY.

(From the Times-Recorder Deem
Der 13, 1901.)
A wagon load of pumpkins, as
many as two big mules could pull,
were brought to the markets in Am
CIRCUS yesterday and sold like hot
cakes.
1t was learned last night that
Frank H. MCGEE, recently general
superintendent of motive power of
the Seaboard system at Portsmouth,
would soon be transferred to Ameri-
Gus as master mechanic of the Fourth
Division of that system.
While many farmers about Ameri-
Gus have sold goodly portion of
their cotton crop, with maybe all of
| it, there is one substantial, hard
working farmer who says he will hold
his 25 bales until it suits him to sell
| it, that he has no meat bills to pay,
matured at once and prepared for ac-
| ton at the coming session by the leg
| islature. The federal government
has allowed three years for Georgia
and very few other states similarly
! situated to amend their constitutions
to permit the levying of taxes to raise
funds to match federal aid. The
Legislature can only call an election
on the constitutional amendment
which cannot be voted on before the
November election, next year, and it
will then be the summer of 1923 be-
fore the legislature, if the amend
ment passes, can enact the necessary
Legislation. Therefore, action short
/ ly is necessary.
| AS we see it, this presents a ire
mendous opportunity for develop
ment in Georgia without burdening
the people additionally, and should
receive the hearty and active support
of every citizen who wants to see
his state go forward.

LIVE STOCK ESTIMATES
FOR VERMONT 1921
Has Largest Average Per Head
for Cows in United States
of $4,000

The following live stock estimates
for Vermont, as of Jan. /, 1921, are
given in the February lumber of the
Monthly crop Reporter, published by
the Bureau of Crop Estimates, af-
filiated with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Number of horses Sd 900; value per
head, $128.0O; total value $10,24S,0 600
Number of milk cows, 275,000;
value per head $4,000; total value
SIT 1915 700.
Other cattle 10000; value per
head $4,000; total value $4,557 900.
Number of sheep 1000; value per
head $6.70; total value 100000.
Number of swine 105 900; value per
head $14.C0; total value 1854, 900.
Total $34,844,00.
The number of horses remains the
same as in 1920, but shows loss of
1000 from 1919, and 1000 from 1918
Vermont ranks second in New Eng
land in number and in value of
horses.
Vermont is far in the lead Of all
other New England States in number
of milk cows, and among tine forty
eight states ranks is the same as last
year, but is smaller than chat Of 1912
by G,OOO and $4,000 less thaa that Of
1918. The value per head ($65i is a
little larger than that of the average
for the United States, which IS :e.;.9 Z,
but only Maine among the New Eng
land States shows a smaller valuation
$500 than Vermont.
In other cattle Vermont's number
is 1000 less than in 1920 and 1919
and 1000 greater than in 1919. Yer
mont exceeds the other New England
States in number and value, but in
value per head is the lowest in New
England. The total of Vermont's
milk cows and other cattle is $28, 453, :
0O0,which is only few thousand dol
lars ($21O,76O) lss than value of all
Vermont's domestic animals. poultry
and bees, according to the CENSUS of
1910.
The decrease in number of sheep
goes on as it has with few excep-
tions for many years. The number
is 5000 fewer than in 1920, 10000
fewer than in 1919 and $4,000 fewer
than in 1913
The number of swine is 10000 less
than that of 1920, $4,000 less than in
1919 and $4,000 less than in 1918.
Owing to decrease in values of farm
products and live stock since the close
of the war, the total value of domestic
animals in Vermont has decreased.
In 1920 the total value was S147.125.-
600; in 1919, $42,233,OOO; in 1918,
$44,717 900.

PRESSCLIPPINCS
The High Cost of Our Politics
Barre Timesl

The movement started in congress
10 reduce the amount of money ex-
pended in political campaigns will
meet with approval and support of the
people of the United States almost
without exception. Revelation that
the sum of ten millions of dollars was
spent during the last presidential
campaign is only another proof of the
belief, held for long time, that the
country has gone beyond reasonable
bounds in furtherance of political hys
terra. In fact, the use of money had
gone to such an extent that in some
sections it was scarcely possible for
a poor man, or a man of moderate
financial resources to engage in polit-
ical life; the office-seeking was con-
fined chiefly to the persons who could
afford to spend a large amount of
money, legitimately perhaps, in the
advancement of their candidates.
either prior to the party conventions
or prior to the elections themselves
1t is serious reflection on the polit-
ical life of the nation when it is nee
essary to spend a fortune in electing
certain person to Office. That for
tune may have been donated in lump
sum by the candidate, or it may have
been collected from many sources
the place of it's origin makes but lit
tie difference; the spending of such
an amount does not do credit to the
idea of democracy. So it is with pleas
ure that the people of the nation note
the initial steps taken in congress to
check the growing menace to our po-
litical life. If such steps are produc-
tive Of the results expected we may
confidently hope that the new senti-
ment thereby developed will spread to
the states, even to this little state of
Vermont and that money will not play
such an important part in the selec-
ton of our official servants.

women's clubs and other organizations
The courses and lectures include such
subjects as proper buying of food,
clothing, house furnishings and equip
ment. Field trips to the markets,
shops and furniture stores are part of
the courses arranged. Plans are now
being completed for the establishment
of a Home Information Center in
some of the cities and towns in the
eastern states. This Home Inform
alton Center would serve as the center
of activities of the Home Bureau and
there classes and demonstrations
would be held in food values, child
feeding, buying, making and repair
ing of clothes; demonstration of labor
saving devices for the home would be
given, household budgets and systems
of keeping accounts would be ex-
planned.
Since the Home Bureau started it's

facturers, merchants, the Massachu-
sets State Department of Health,
Federation of Women's Clubs, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the Girl Scouts, the Y. W.

VERMONT NOTES

The general education board has
given $25O,OOO to the University of
Vermont as part Of an endowment
fund of $1,000,000 provided the uni
versity raises the additional $4,000
A few weeks ago the board of trus-
lees OF the university, realizing the
imperative need of a larger income
With which to take care of salary in
creases for the members of the facul-
ties of the colleges of arts and
sciences, agriculture and engineering,
voted to raise S1,OOO,0OO additional
endowment, the income of which is
to be used for such purpose.
In Vermont at the beginning of the
year automobiles were owned by the
inhabitants of the state in the proper
ton of one to every lib persons, and
the total number of automobiles reg
istered in Vermont on January 1,
1921, was 31,626 as compared with
26,807 in 1920. The rate of increase
in the number of machines in one
year was 1913 and most of the new
machines are for pleasure driving.
The ownership of automobiles has in
creased more in Vermont than in any
otho-' state in New Englond excepting
Ma achusetts. Only four states east
of the Mississippi river have more
automobiles per capita than has Yer
mont. About the only state to sur
pass Vermont when it comes to riding
in autos are those in which automo-
biles are manufactured, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Ohio.
