The MeddLe,-
EFF the Goa, eta you. put /. on

The Burlington News bemoans the
fact that 90 per cent of the delinquent
taxpayers in that city are women, and
then goes on 10 preach sermon to the
effect that the fair sex doesn't appreci-
ate the equal rights that have been
given it. That may be the case in Bur
lington but similar conclusions could
not fairly be drawn in Brattleboro. On
the question of taxes the local collector
is authority for the statement that sim
gle women (who have their own poll
taxes 10 paw have met their obligations
better than any other class of taxpayers.
and that most of the unpaid taxes of
married women may be accounted for BY
the fact that their husbands have not
yet paid. Incidentally, it is interest
ing to know that taxes in Brattleboro
are more nearly paid up this year than
ever before at this date.
As to the number of women who voted
in the recent election n quick inspection
of the check list shows total of between
900 and 1000 out of the approximately
2,400 votes cast. This is q pretty good
average considering the weather on cleo
ton day. Officers of the Brattleboro
Woman's club find on going through the
list that POI of their 30O-odd members
took part in the election. Possibly there
is no other organization of similar size
in town that could show better proper
ton
In the 81 miles of road between Ben
nington and Wilmington. according to
the Bennington Banner there are about
ia dozen almost impossible bog-holes
which should be put at the top of the
improvement list by the proper highway
authorities. Altogether these stretches
amount to hardly more than a mile of
road but nevertheless tlsy make traffic
over this important thoroughfare an ex-
tremely difficult proposition Mt this time
of the year. As the Banner says, the
Brattleboro- Remington road is generally
the first of the cross-range routes to go
out of commission in the fall and the
last to recover in the spring, largely be-
cause the mountain country is broader
at this point. In spite of this situation
however, road officials should do every
thing within their power to keep such
highways open as long as possible, and
the listing of bad spots for early inn
provement appears to be one of the most
sensible ways of bringing about such
result.
When an attempt was made in the
legislature of 1919 TO relieve the own
ers of the Brattleboro trolley road from
the necessity of maintaining service, To-
cal opposition developed to such a degree
that the effort was promptly abandoned.
No doubt opposition would develop
again. as it should to any plan that CON
templated leaving the West Brattleboro
and Fort Drummer sections without ade-
quate transportation service. So far as
the method of transportation is con-
cerned, however. public sentiment would
be likely to favor that which promised
the best service For example. if the
Twin State company would pledge itself
to maintain an automobile bus service
over approximately the same route now
traversed by it's electric cars, putting on
closed busses of adequate size and oper-
ating them at regular intervals. nobody
would raise any serious objection In

POOL ROOMS AND
DANCE HALLS RAPED
ATLANTA JUDGE CRITICISES
MODERN EVILS" INCLUD-
ING JAZZ MUSIC.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A number of
modern evils came in for a severe
scoring by Judge John D. Humph-
ries, of the criminal division OF Fulton
superior court Monday morning, when
he delivered a lengthy charge to the
grand jury.
Judge HUMPHREYS branded pool
rooms and public dance halls as beds
OF crime, declaring that in the former
plots were Matched that later led to
perpetration of offenses against socle-
ty. and that the dance halls were IN
cubators of immortality.
"Scantily-clad girls and half drunk
boys go through antics which are re-
puisive to the finer sensibilities OF
good men and women" Judge Humph-
ries said ITO stamp out the public
dance hall in our city would be move
which would give impetus to moral
ty in this section"
Tazz music also was touched on by
the Judge, who said it was a remnant
of barbarism and had an Intoxicating
effect on young people as dangerous
and degrading as the cheaper grades
of whisky.
Without calling names, u e
HUMPHREYS also criticised Billy Sun
dav. the well-known evangelist, tor
expressing his views on the Frank
| DuPre case.

CHILD. BLACK FROM
BURNS, STILL ALIVE
FORTY-FIVE SKIN GRAFTINGS
MADE IN NINE MONTHS.
MANY GIVE CUTICLE.

DALLAS, Texas.-Dorothy Can
non. wears old, who has undergone
fourteen serious operations and forty
FIVE skin grating applications, will be
discharged from hospital here within
another month"; well child-doctors
declare.
Dorothy was given up as dead when
she was found lying on live wire in
a puddle of water last June, and then
looked upon as hopeless case Tor
two months after she was brought to
the hospital.
she was discovered is not known.
When her mother found her, her cloth
ing had been burned away and her
body was black from the effects.
Members of the family and many
people who became acquainted with
the little girl through her illness in
sisted upon giving skin,
"The only trouble we have had" the
surgeon in charge said, is selecting
dates for the skin grating. There
were always too many present trying
to give their skin"
Dorothy has been able to walk little
more than a week, but i'll that time
has gained several pounds in weight
and recently tipped the scales at forty
six pounds.
She will be dismissed with very few
visible signs of the agonizing condl-
ton which kept her fiat on her back
for nine months, doctors said

REsUI rs INFERTH IZER EXPERIMENTS
BULLETIN COVERS SIX YEARS AT PEE DEE STATION IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Iture of one-third blood and two-thirds
cotton seed meal.
6. Four per cent of ammonia was
better than either larger or smaller
applications for cotton continuously
and for cotton i'll rotation.
7. The yields of corn and oats were
in direct proportion to the amount OF
ammonia applied; but the yield OF
cowpea hay was not influenced by the
application OF ammonia.
s. The time of application OF soda
as a side dressing made no difference
in the yields of any crops in this par
ticular experiment, because the soil
had sufficient ammonia for maxi
mum yield of these crops without the
side dressing.
9. Two per cent of potash was sui
ficient for maximum yield OF cotton
in a rotation, and four per cent was
best where cotton was grown con-
ltinuously.
TO- Corn, oats and peas gave no re-
spouse to applications OF potash in this
Experiment.
il. Muriate and kainit were OF
equal value as sources OF potash IN this
experiment for all crops used.
II. Caustic lime and ground lime
stone were of equal value as sources
of lime when used at the rates of 1000
pounds and 1000 respectively.
IS. Lime was not profitable to use
on this soil for any of the crops grown.
IA. At the end of six years the ro-
tation series was yielding approx
mately twice as much as the contin-
uous cotton series and was gaining
rapidly even where complete fertilizer
was used at the rate of 1000 pounds
per acre, thus showing the superiority
of rotation over continuous cotton
fer maintaining the fertility of the
land.
IS. Either very heavy or very light
application of ammonia delays the
maturity of cotton. Heavy applications
of potash also delay maturity.
10. The earliest crop of cotton was
secured by a reasonable application OF
acid Phosphate and ammonia, and
from well-balanced complete fertil-
ger, which does not run high in any
one element.

STILL UNDECIDED
ON BONUS PROBLEM
SCORES OF LETTERS AND TEL
EGRAMS SENT TO HARDING
AGAINST LEGISLATION.

The passage of a bonus bill without
any tax provision for raising the nee
essary money is now predicted by re-
publican leaders in the lower house of
congress. After many conferences with
republican senators and representatives
on this troublesome issue party man
layers think they have hit on a scheme
that will carry the bonus act through
congress so as to gain ground tor a
political support which cannot be de-
MED.
1t is believed the final result will be
that there will be passed law to pay
cash bonus with money that is not in
the treasury, but in the time that laps
es until money is necessary some
provision of Providence, like the I'M
Expected funding of foreign debts, will
have occurred.
Sales Tax Tabooed.
AS the house ways and means COM
Imittee begins writing the new bonus
bill it is admitted it cannot pass con-
gress with the sales tax provision, and
that even in the house the agricultural
bloc and democrats may succeed IN
substituting the excess profits and
higher surtax provisions. There is said
to be sufficient opposition in the SEN
ate, among republican as well as dem
ocratic senator's, to defeat it, either by
a direct vote or by obstruction.
The letters reaching the president
Opposing enactment greatly outnum-
bered those favoring immediate legis-
lation, it was said at the white house.
Commander MacNider, in his tele-
gram, says the American Legion did
not understand FIRST commitment and
then retraction" on the bonus question.
Despite the opposition OF President
Harding to the issuance OF bonds to
Iraise funds for the bonus there are
some congressional leaders who in
cline to the opinion that this scheme
may be resorted to in the end
If ali the proposed means OF financ-
ing the bonus fail the outcome may
be the passage of a compensation bill
without any provision for the raising
of the revenue. The president has in
sisted that a means of obtaining the
money be included in the bill. He
might veto such a bill, but congress,
according to its present temper, might
pass it over his veto.

elusive. The bulletin, prepared by c.
P. Blackwell, agronomist and T. S.
Buie, assistant agronomist, is a some
what technical publication OF results OF
work begun in 1914 under Prof T. f.
Keitt and continued under Prof. c. P.
Blackwell, and consists largely of ia
bles and graphs recording experiment
al results of various kinds and amounts
of fertilizers when used in rotation and
Iotherwise on cotton, corn oats, etc.
The principal features OF the bulle-
tin are thirty-seven tables and fifty
one graphic figures recording and il
Illustrating results. These are accom-
panied by brief explanatory discussions
and followed by a brief summary of
conclusions. These conclusions are Civ
en- below for the benefit of farmers,
many Of whom would not care to
make a close study of the mass of
tabular and graphic matter in the bull
letin.
Summary.
l. Acid phosphate, ground rock as
phalt and Thomas phosphate gave
equally good yields when applied at
the rates used in this experiment and
on this particular soil and in the alb
sence of the boil weevil.
2. Acid phosphate gave an earlier
crop of cotton than either ground rock
phosphate or Thomas phosphate.
3. Eight per cent of acid phosphate
in a 1,000-pound application of fertili-
ger gave the maximum yield of cotton
and larger applications were not profit,
able. -Four per cent was not as good
as eight for cotton.
4. Corn and cowpeas when grown
lin a rotation with cotton did not re
spond to applications Of phosphoric
acid. Oats gave a small increase for
four per cent of acid but not for larg-
Ter amounts.
