Women's work in The Farm
Bureau was the topic that Bertha
NJ. Terrill, head of the Home Econ
omics Department of the Univer-
sity of Vermont chose as her topic
at the Farm Bureau meeting. She
told of the change in the farm
home life since her girlhood. 1t was
nv distaste, that led me in incur a
debt which | had to pay myself
with interest at per cent to OBJ
tain an education 10 get awaNfrom
it, and later after the education
was complete, it was the thought
of many others that were doubtless
laboring with the same distaste as
my self, that led me to choose my
present vocation as my life work.
| believe that farm people should
get together oftener and reflect.
We all have vision ats sometime
early in our lives but under ad-
verse conditions it is easily lost.
Where would the world have been
had it not been for industrial, So
cial, scientific and political vision.
There would have been no society
no business in fact no treat coun-
try, but the same fundamental ami
NAL instincts through all time How
easy it is to pick out leader with
a vision, because they seem to put
their whole heart and soul into
what they do. The great test comes
when we ask Are we ready to do
as our forbears? Shall we continue
in the same rut? All our education
comes from contact and EXCHANGE
of ideas with others. Try to brine
the children into contact with the
past. There is no way to quicker
teach the child thing than to
show him how his father does it.
In our schools today there are T.
100000 children who are laggards:
they cannot keep up; and why? Be
cause they have not the proper

be undertaken. Mrs. Bartlett'S re-
port was interspersed with many
witty, and original remarks, and
was presented with an earnestness
that left no doubt in the minds of
audience of her aptitude for this
line of work.
Bruce K. Buchanan in his report
on Farm Management mentioned
the very hearty cooperation of the
Vermont Senators in Washington
with the Bureau, and urged the
members to advertize more fully,
giving as suggestion, printed let
terheads with Member Farm Bur
eau" thereon. In his report j. H.
Bartlett, as chairman of the work
committee, recommended more ac-
tive social committees and local
neighborhood meeting as an essent
ial part of the Farm Bureau social
program; In dairying. better sires,
and in soil development, more
chemical fertilizers in the absence
of barnyard manure and more va
riety tests of seed varieties and
cooperation with the seed dealers
to promote better yielding, and
freedom from disease strains. In
the maple sugar project better
quality and marketing methods,
and marketing unit within reach
of every farm, with a partnership
basis between father and son.
The afternoon session opened
with an address by H. c. Mckenzie
tax expert for the American Farm
Bureau Federation, who gave the
members an "eye opener" as re-
CARDS to taxes and the percent
that they are called upon to pay.
He sad, "The Farm Bureau is a
real issue in this country 1t is a
great organization and greater in
the East than the West with one
exception, that the farmers of the
west are better marketers. The
organization in the west was built
from the top down, while that in
the east, from the bottom up,
therefore, that of the east is the
more substantial. But the trouble
with the eastern farmer is, that
while he is an expert producer, he
lacks the qualities of a good mar
keter. He is satisfied with letting
the other fellow set the price on
that which he buys as we'll that
which he sells. You must cooperate.
The farmer neel it more than any
other bOdyso business men. Labor
is organized; business is or~anized;
everything is organized but the
farmers and the other fellow is TAX
ing advantage of this lack of or
ganizatlon to get what he wants.
At the meeting called in Washing
ton by President Harding to dis
cuss the agricultural situation, and
at which Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation
Of Labor was present, when the
agriculturalists made show of
organization Mr., Gompers at
tempted a bluff, presenting the idea
that labor was not trying to Dust
the organization, but his bluff was
called, and when it came to the
vote Mr.. Gompers voted alone.

my childhood, because | know a
Betterway.
The government is Offering ire
mendous opportunities in the way
of extension work. Everyone

Where would Vermont have been
if the founders of the first Yer
mont Farm Bureau had not had
a vision. The adult laggard is
worse than the child, they are
harder headed. Stop knocking and
boast unless you can find some leg
itimate reason for it. Cooperate
with the demonstration agents,
find out what your community in
terests are and link them up. Give
The children Il part. Start them
early and see that they keep at it
and they will soon beat you at the
game. "What am | going to get
out Of it," is narrow. 1t is like a
shadow Of the past. This is like
anything else, you get out of it all
that you put in. But you must realr
ize that you must get together, no
one can do it alone, and the local
leader is the key to the whole sit
alton. When we get q live local
leader then the success of the pro-
ject is assured. SO let US all get to-
gether and pull as hard as we can
to up hold the traditions of this
great little Green Mountain State.

one of which was a repetition Of the
platform of the American Farm
. Bureau Federation on Taxation.
The Agricultural Bloc also per-
formed a very pronounced service
for the farmer at Washington.
They were instrumental in secur-
ing the service Of financing to re-
lieve the farmers during the criti-
cal period through which we have
just passed. The Farm Bureau has
studied taxes and has decided
which of the systems of taxation is
best for the farmers. You may be
at loss to discover just the COM
parison between a sales and an in
come tax. The net income is the
measure of ones ability. The larger
the income the larger the tax,
every one has to help support the
government, so this income tax
tends to take all rather than few.
The taxes must be openly dis
tnbuted. Vermont has not kept
pace according to her business
growth. Her tax law was formed
in 1879 when business was SIMPLE.
Times have changed and a great
deal escapes taxation. There is
more property in the tax free list
than in the taxable one. There are
two ways to remedy this. One is
to tax the intangible at lower
rate. You must cooperate and edu-
cate the men of Vermont before
the next legislature meets. Hire
tax expert, draft bill and put it
up to the legislature. That will
make them howl. The tax system is
being wrecked by the flood Of tax
free securities, more than seven
teen billion of which have been is
sued, and everyone is investing in
all tax free securities possible and
thus getting all the benefits. The
national banks are not bearing
their share o fthe taxes. The shares
in the bank can be taxed and so
can the building in which it does
its business but not its securities
so they are sitting tight and smil-
ing, and who would not? Now the
Ship Subsidy bill which is to APP
pear at the next session of Con-
gress. 1t costs US 20 per cent more
to build our ships in this country
than in Europe, largely because of
the intricate organization Of the
labor unions. True it is an advan-
tage to the farmers to have our
merchant marine, but first other
business and labor must produce as
favorable and as cheaply as the
farmer. Under this bill the ship
builders may make 40 or so percent
and without tax, but The Standard

American Women Are
Careless

Women are too apt to overesti-
mate their strength and overtax 1t.
When feeling well they take I'M
necessary chances, which in the
lone run cause much pain and
trouble. Wet feet, exposure to
cold, lifting heavy burdens and
overwork will often develop troub-
les which cause no end of suffer
ing, Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegeta-
bic Compound is the unfailing re-
medy in such cases. Thousands of
American women will testify to
this fact who have regained health
and strength by its use. If you
are suffering it will pay you to
give it fair trial,-Advertise-

BABIES PROFIT
THIRD VICTORY
INFANT MORTALITY RECORD
FOR AUGUST SHOWS DE-
CREASE THIS YEAR.

Michigan mothers and babies scored
the third victory of the season over
the enemies of infant health and
shattered all infant mortality records
Of the state health department for
the past ten years. According to fig
ures given out otday by DR.. r. M.
DIN, state commissioner Of health,
7S9 less babies under one year, died
during the first eight months of 1922
than during the same period of last
year.
During August Of this year 482 ba-
bies died while during the same
month of last year, 6S5 infant deaths
were recorded, bringing the total
number saved last month to 203.
During July l43 less babies died than
in the corresponding month of last
year and June saw a saving of 90.
Up to August /, last year, 5157 in
fants died while the same date this
year shows 41lS deaths or a decrease
of 739. OF this number 400 were
saved in the three danger months Of
the year June, July and August.
The August 1922 infant mortality
rate Of COL per 1000 living births is
a record for the past ten years. The
closest mark to the 1922 figure was
set up in August 1929 when the rate
dropped to G9.7. The average rate
for the past ten years is 1913. The
August 1921 rate was S4.7
The reduction is traced to the cool
weather during the past summer and
the broadening Of educational facil-
tiles by state and local health de-
partments. Figures given out by the
United States Weather bureau here
show that the past summer was cool
er than the summer of 1921. Due to
the low temperature Of August it is
expected that the September infant
mortality rate which is usually high
will be greatly reduced.
The number of births during Au-
gust more than doubled the number
of deaths. There were S,01G babies
born while 3,075 persons died.

The members Of the Alma school
board are to be congratulated on the
splendid playground equipment they
have provided for the pupils at Re-

they serve so well and faithfully. A
merry go-round, swings, teeter-tot-
ters, ocean-wave, and various other
things have been erected in the Elm
Grove woods behind the school. This
equipment goes long way in solving
the problem of keeping the children,
after school hours, from roaming
aimlessly in the streets and getting
into mischief. The boys and girls en-
JOY every minute in the playground
until darkness drives them home
