trating the work of tractors In many
different fields and sections Of coun-
try.
II is said that the only man who
ever became dissatisfied with having
bought a tractor is the man who dad
not learn how to operate and take
care OF II. The company is putting
on this school all over the United
States to help owners learn how to
economize in the use of their trac-
tors by learning the hest ways OF
operating and caring for them. There
is right good demand for men. other
than owners, to operate tractors, and
there will be better demand as the
number OF tractors increase, The
school will afford good opportunity
for young men and others who might
like to get good Jobs in this line later
on to learn how to do II.

CURRENT COMMENT
The World in Bloom

The good old summer time
brings a wealth of flowers into
both the home gardens and wild
nature. The richness of nature
spends itself prodigally in these
blooms, and it is a JOY to the heart
to take a trip through the oper
country.
The cultivated flowers have in
dividually a more abundant anc
glorious beauty. But many of the
common flowers grow in so prolif-
ic a way, that they constitute Z
mass of color more impressive
than most formal gardens are.
A mass of these flowers gives a
country landscape the appearance
of some wonderful oriental rug, ir
which soft and radiant hues arc
gathered by the hand of the mas
ter artist. into a Fabric far Surpass-
ing anything the craftsman could
put together.
The farmers may say that many
of these blossoms are only weeds,
and that the cattle can't eat them
and they serve no useful purpose.
But they cheer the hearts of man
and women, who find delight in a
country side that has been made so
lovely.

BIG MERGERS

Some years ago people became
greatly alarmed over the tendency
to form great combinations, which
seemed to be squeezing the little
fellows out of business. Some
predicted that the big trusts
would be too unwieldly to live
and that the small producer who
gave close personal attention to
his business could serve the pub
lie more efficiently.
The big combinations must have
made good to large extent, and
must have effected important eco
Monies, else they would have not
been able to retain their volume
of business. And on the other
hand the small producer is holding
his own in many ways. 3, 1t lis
pretty hard to drive out an indus
trious and intelligent man who
gives close attention to the details
of his business.

Whv Not Judge Stafford?

Vermont women chose a sum-
mer resident of the state for the
Vermont poet laureate. Perhaps
the poet got some of his inSpira-
ton from Vermont even though
he is not a Vermonter.-Barre
Times.
And as the Rutland Herald re-
marks Robert Frost is real
poet, but he is not a Vermonter."
And there's the rub. We might
Just as well select Kipling as poet
laureate of Vermont on the
strength of the fact that he used
to have a summer home in Brattle-
boro.
Without any disparagcment of
Mr.. Frost meant, his choice by
Vermont women as poet laureate
of the state does not seem to be a
wise one.
If we are to have a poet laurie
ate why not have a Nermonter
born and bred? There's no need
to go outside the state for real
poet, either.
Why not DR.. Daniel l.. Cady,
of Burlington, whose ability as a
poet is unquestioned and whose ia
nous poems of Vermont rural life
especially, to say nothing of his
other verse, are known far and
wide?-Burlington News,
Certainly Mr. Cady should have
been considered before any nom
resident Vermonter and his depic-
ton of rural life and activities has
gained him many admirers. But
there are a good many men and
women in Vermont who would
vote for Judge Wendell P. Stat
ford for poet laureate if the OPP
portunity was given them. His
poems on Vermont have attracted
wide notice while his lyrics and
classical verse place him in the
front rank of our New England
poets. A poet laureate for Yer
mont should be first of all a Yer
monter born.

Interesting Sketch of
Henry O'Malley
(Cotniued from Page u


compilation of the statistics of the
| fisheries.
a. The administration of tho
salmon fisheries of Alaska, the fur.
seal herd on the Pribilof Islands
and the care of the native in
habitants of those islands.
5. Administration of the law
for the protection of sponges of
the coast of Florida.
/ Henry O'Malley was born at St
Johnsbury, Vt, March %, 1876
and received his education in the
! public schools and academy of that
city, later taking business
course. He entered the employ
ment of the Bureau of Fisheries
at the st. Johnsbury Hatchery as
an apprentice fish-culturist Dec
ember, 1897, remaining in that ca
pacity about year, when he was
transferred to the bureaus station
at Leadville, Colo, as a skilled la
bOrer.
From there he was promoted to
fish culturist at Baker Lake,
Wash, in which capacity he re-
amined about five years, when he
was appointed superintendent: of
the Washington stations in July,
1908. In 1907, Mr.. O'Malley was
given charge of the bureaus work
in the Columbia River Watershed,
where he remained until Deem
Der, 1913, when he was placed in
charge of the fsh-cultural work
on the Pacific coast, with head
quarters at Seattle.
In July, 1917, Mr.. O'Malley was
brought to Washington and
made chief of the division of fish
culture, remaining in that posi-
ton until July l, 1918, when he
was placed in charge of all the
bureaus activities on the Pacific
coast, which position he now
holds.
In 1905 Mr.. OMalley discovered
a salt-solution process for separ-
ating dead fish eggs from the live
ones, thereby eliminating the nee
essity of employing many persons
to remove the dead eggs by hand
and saving the Government large
sums of money each year.
In 1916 he was elected president
of the Pacific Coast Fisheries So
ciety and in 1918 of the American
Fisheries Society.
At the time of his assuming his
duties at the hatcheries in the Col
umbia watershed the salmon runs
in the Columbia River were on the
decline. 1t had been the practice
to liberate the salmon fry when
the yolk sac was absorbed, but
through Mr.. O'Malley's efforts this
method was changed and the feed
ing of young salmon on an extern
sive scale was begun. The wis
dom of this change has been prov
en- by the greatly improved runs of
salmon in that locality in recent
years.
For the past three years Mr..
O'Malley has spent the entire
fishing season in Alaska, making
in conjunction with DR.. Charles H.
Gilbert of Stanford University,
comprehensive Investigations of
the fisheries of Alaska, the re-
ports of which were published by
the Bureau of Fisheries in 1919
and 1920.
Mr.. O'Malley's family consists
of a wife, now living in Seattle
but soon to join him in Washing
ton, a brother who is the head of
the commercial department of the
high school of Commerce, Boston,
a sister living in Manchester,
Mass, and mother and another
sister living in Portland, Ore.

Senator to be Greene

Someone has gently mentioned
the name of a possible opponent
for Congressman Greene, in the
event that he will become a can
didate to succeed Senator Page in
the fall. There may be no objec-
ton to a mans aspiration for
office, but unless we are fearfully
mistaken their will be no cause for
alarms to Vermont's future repre-
sentative in the Page seat. Con-
gresham Greene has made good,
and it is not the time for him to
stop.-Waterbury Record.
