Mons. Editeur:-
Perhap you amt realize it, but it
some long time since l amt writ you
before. O. s
You no it, that lot folk like to hear
them old song like ''Come through
rye" and Crock on cradle of deep?"
In pick up my old secretary las week
run cross that old song and dance
that the Hartness club got out to elect
the Govnor. / put on my glass and
sit down and read him all bout it.
That big plan bout progress, how
the old state was in bondage, bout
how to keep them boy and girl all on
state of Vermont, an bout put harness
on water power. -
sing it over three time an fill up
my cob pipe and think bout it all
over it and amt no what in Hill it
mean and look on my almanac an
look Roars an Seabuck catalog all
over it and I amt find out bout that
coordinate. But got my satisfy that
a man that is coordinate, he got to
be a sucker. / amt mean that he be
regular sucker, but he have to suck
some. 1 tc
An read it on some editorial on
paper that Stod Bates gonter run for
Lutenant Govnor in two year. Now
I'm figure out that if it cost forty
three or Two thousand dollar to be
Govnor it wont cost Stod only bout
thirteen hundred dollar to be Luton
ant Govnor.
I'm believe that if this plan of pro-
gress will be come out like this dress
reform. The peek-boo waist are
thirty three per cent more peek-boo
since this dress reform start, and for
skirt old Mother Eve would be in
style if she be live.
Well, I think I close up. There
amt nothing took important but Mr..
Brook has been appoint to work on
road. And yu no that old say, that
truth crush on earth shall jump up
again, and them fellow that all the
time pray and sing through their nose
make me sick.
I'm just take my vacation an ben
on farm and cut brush. Just three
two day go I got down on my knee
and start to cut some small brush an
the black hornet begin to pop it to me.
I run and the more / run the more
they pop it, and I find out they go
up my pant leg. So I get out on the
road and take off my pant and shirt
and make BUSINESS of kill hornet. In
bout hour I was Hill of thing to be
look at. So when you take vacation
don't cut brush.
Sincerely yours,

Judge julius A. Wilcox.
(Rutland Herald).

The elevation of julius A. Wilcox
of Montpelier, secretary of civil and
military affairs, to superior Judge
ship to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Zed S. Stanton, is
plainly personal selection by Gov.
Hartness and probably by no means
the resultof endorsement by the ma
jority of members of the Vermont
Bar association. Maj. Wilcox has
specialized in clerical lines Of public
service since his graduation from
Middlebury college and his appoint
ment to the bench will afford him OPP
portunityr to devote his, entire atten-
ton TO his profession. ge
The Herald expects that with the
years Judge Wilcox will broaden out
as jurist and will develop as have
Judges Wilson, Moulton, and Chase,
who went to the bench with perhaps,
less active practice experience than
many Of their associates.

splendid piece of matured field corn
raised in Albany and as fine a trace
of seed corn taken from the field on
August Is, as ever a man could ask
for. Which proves that good Flint
corn can be raised in northern Yer
mont, though it may not be matured
properly every season. This has been
splendid corn year in this vicinity
and what is lacking in hay will be
made up partially with silage, on
many farms. This paper believes the
growing tendency to raise more and
more of our own feed and provisions
locally is a wise plan.

In beating around the legal jungles
an astute attorney is destined to now
and then find something. Clare
Powell of Island Pond, known to the
most of us, is going to take case 90
high court for a client convicted of
smuggling liquor, on the ground that
custom house officers are without au-
thority to take liquor, because the
custom law says anything other than
what is dutible cannot be seized.

Everywhere the cry is for dwelling
places, yet according to the report
of the department of labor gathered
from 1876 cities last year there were
BLOB one and two-family houses
built and 1921 garages in the re-
porting municipalities, while the cost
of building schools was only half of
the expenditure for moving picture
houses. The luxuries the American
people must have, if they get along
without the necessities.

Governor Hartness has appointed 8

Governor Hardness has appointed a
commission of three to investigate
the whole proposition of bovine tuber-
culosis, the reliability of the test and
the wisdom of spending 100000 year
ly for it's eradication in Vermont. This
paper only hopes the commission will
investigate upon its own responsible
ity and not take too much stock in
what the veterinarians or the anti's
say. We want the truth from level
headed laymen and with L. B. john
son of Randolph at the head of the
commission such report can be ex-
pected when the next legislature con-
yenes.

New York Macadam and Vermont
Gravel
Chadwick Gazette.)

(HardWick GaZette.)
The difference in automobile roads
in the macadam roads in New York
and the gravel roads in Vermont is
not SO great as one might expect. For
choice we would rather ride on the
smooth gravel road. Of course, the
cement and brick-paved roads have
anything we have stopped-esp
when the cost is figured. One thing
Vermont must take care of on its
main thoroughfares if it means to in
vite summer travel and that is the
dust. This is the contention that con-
fronts the traveller, as soon as he
strikes the state, which he does not
have on the hard-surfaced road, and
it is very annoying where there are
numerous automobiles on the road.

Wolcott has suffered a severe fire
which nearly wiped out that village
and the fire was thought to be set by
some beast in human form. Fire is
an awful avenger but when men stoop
to start confagration which destroys
property and perhaps life, punish
ment can hardly be too severe.

to fill the vacancy caused by the death

good Judge but the expressions

what counts with this administration.

RYE COVER CROP PROTESTS
TOBACCO FIELD FERTILITY.

Nsearly one-half million acres Of
Kentucky tobacco land, the richest in
the state, will be depleted of their fer
tility during the coming winter unless
rye or some other crop is sown rs soon
as the tobacco crop is removed to pro.
tect the soil during the winter from
erosion and teaching, crops specialists
at the College of Agriculture say. Rye
sown at the rate Of one bushel an acre
as soon as the tobacco is removed
makes a good protection for the soil
while still better cover crop may be
obtained by adding 20 pounds of vetch
seed to each bushel Of rye and sowing
this mixture at the rate OF one bushel
and 20 pounds an acre. The combina-
ton will make not only a soil saver
but also a green manure to play und2g
next April for soil improvement.

the states where there is no such re-

SMALLPOX by POPULAR VOTE.

In the United States, say ]. N. Force
special expert, and DR.. j. j. Leake, of
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice, in a recent Public Health Report,
smallpox depends on the popular vote.
Study of the smallpox statistics in
twenty staes for the last six years and
of the vaccination laws in the same
states indicates that the people have
generally obeyed the vaccination laws
that hey have made. Where popular
sentiment has sustained a strong CEN
lralized compulsory vaccination act
smallpox is today negligible; where
local authorities have been given dis
oretionary powers as to enforcement
the rate has tended to rise; and where
the laws have lacked compulsory fea-
lures or there have been no laws the
rate is high.
In the twenty states considered, four
astern states show combined small
pox curve that has been at consist
emily 10 wlevel for the six years. Seven
Southern States and Six Central states
show curves that are much higher and
are very similar to each other, though
that of the Central state is about twice
as high as that of the Southern states.
The three Pacific Coast states shrow
most extraordinary increase in the
disease, the smallpox curve having
scared from one nearly as low as that
of the Eastern states in' 1915 to one
eight times as high in 1920.
