Chicago expects to have a tent city
of $4,000 people next summer. Under
the auspices of a Tenants Protective
league, plans are being worked out for an
organized community to live in the for
est preserves near the city, as a means
of solving the housing problem and saw
ing rent. 1t is figured that a family can
be equipped to live in tent all summer
for $50 which is about what the family
would pay in one month for a good fat
There is no reason why such an enter
prise should not succeed, if care is taken
10 preserve the order and decency of
ordinary community life, and the league
evidently R seeing to that. The camp
ers are to be divided into groups of -
families, with a head or chief for each
group, and the league officers will look
after the welfare of the tent city as a
whole. No dogs will be allowed.
1t is a commemorate movement. in
many ways, in Chicago or any other
crowded community, quite regardless of
the cost Of rent. Modern life is getting
too far away from nature and tending
to lose its simple virtues and primitive
strength. Living in the open, with only
such shelter as bad weather and neces-
sary privacy demand, getting the full
benefit of sun and air, getting back to
simpler cooking and simpler amusements
and earlier hours, and getting into touch
with ones neighbors as people seldom do
in city apartments, should have a whole
some effect on almost anybody. The ad-
vantages for children should be especially
worth while
This is a variation of the automobile
camp idea, which is rapidly spreading
over the country. Surely it is as sensible
to provide camping place for a citys
own citizens as for strangers.

The Intent of Law.
lRnflnnh Hnrnld l

No better example of strict interpre-
tation of the intent of the law as regards
the expenditure of the states money for
publicity has been given since the first
appropriation was made for this purpose
than the concise, carefully and conserva-
lively phrased brochure which has re-
Gently been issued by Secretary of State
Harry \. Black, setting out the reasons
why apple culture should and does prove
a highly remunerative business enter
prise in Vermont.
The secretary of state is entitled to be
complimented and to be commended.
Secretary Black may content himself
with knowing that he has done a good
job, but he should be told by all con-
cerned that he has produced the sort of
publicity intended by the legislature when
it appropriated money for such purpose
We are not, in these days of economy,
advocating spending greater sums for
state publicity than in the past, but The
Herald would like to have a copy of Sec
rotary Blacks booklet on apple culture
in Vermont placed in the hands of every
farmer in the state, in fact in hands of
every farmer and orchardist in New Eng
land. If this could be done the result
would probably be amazing.

This is the Dist birthday of the Crown
Prince Hirochito, who recently became
regent of Japan because of the disability
of his father, the emperor. The crown
prince is the first of the japanese i'm
perial family to receive a general educa-
tiOn along modern lines. When six years
old he was enrolled among the pupils of
the Peers school in Toxic, receiving the
customary elementary common school
education in daily association with other
children of the japanese aristocracy. On
his graduation there was established the
Imperial Education Institute located
within the precincts of the princes es-
tate There for several years he studied
under private tutors. His academic
course being completed, the emperor and
Mother Empress Sadako decided his ed
ucation should be rounded out by foreign
travel. His tour began March 3 of last
year and continued until September,
when he returned to Toxic and was re-
ceived by hundreds of thousands of his
people.

MILK AND MARKETS.

In one state containing several large
cities close together, farmers have been
forced to throw out milk this winter be-
cause the price they got was so small
they could not afford to ship it. Some
of these farmers have just formed a CO.
operative association and are going
after facts and action. One of the facts
they have learned is that while they
were dumping the milk, the distributing
company was buying milk from a farm
ers' association two states away An
artificial surplus was created, and thus
the company was able to keep the
wholesale price down. The city baby
who needed milk and the farmers baby
who needed shoes were not considered
in the deal.
1t was member of the farmers asso-
citation two states away who told about
this arrangement. He was asked if he
considered it fair cooperation. He said
When you farmers wake up as our
farmers have, form cooperative organ
lZationS with some strength and stop the
distributors from telling you to drink
your milk when they want to decrease
the supply. we can't come in. If you
weren't fools, we couldn't do it.
Pretty strong meat-but there is nour-
ishment in it!
That is the kind of thing which has
created the labor union-now so de-
plored by the capitalists who forced the
men into it in self-defense.
The farmer used to be an easy man to
deal with, and so did the laborer. The
stage of labor union and |
farm organization is necessary before we
can arrive at any cooperation which |
really co-operates and serves the pub
lie fairly.

Founding of New England, by James
T. Adams.-A radical departure from
the histories of New England previously
written. The author says: My ambi-

l think the men of today, especially the
young men, want to know the truth
about themselves, about the present,
about the past. 1t is the most hopeful
sign of the times. We can
not understand the present unless we

When Experts Disagree.
(Fitchburg Sentinel.)

The coal that lies unmined in the
ground is enough to last only 200 years,
under present wasteful methods of min
ing. At least, so says Percy Fellow,
director of the Ohio state departl nent of
industrial relations. The U. S. ge illogical
survey, on the other hand, says I hat the
unmined coal reserves of America are
about 100000, 900, 900 tons, or enough
to last more than 5000 years, unless we
begin burning coal twice as fast as in the
last five years. The most striking char
acteristic about experts is that no wo of
them agree Somewhere there exis is an
expert who can prove almost anyt Thing.
