Imp ortant to
Vermont Farmers

When Congress reassembles
once more, it will, undoubtedly
take up three bills which are of
special Importance to Vermont
farmers, and upon which the
Vermont Farm Bureau Fedora
ton has been working for some
time past. One of these bills
embodies the Ford proposal to
lease the dam and operate the
fertilizer plants at Muscle Sho-
ais, Alabama. Another is the
bill providing for an intermedi-
ate form of credit running from
six months to three years, and
the third is the anti-flled milk
bill.
The first two bills mentioned
are already reported out of
committee and therefore they
should have the right of way
on the floor. The agricultural
blocs have definitely decided
that their program will include
the Ford tender, the intermedi-
ate credit and the anti-filled
milk bill, which has already
passed the House and gone to
the Senate agricultural commit
tee. The agricultural blocs
will also back the bill raising
the maximum amount that may
be loaned to any individual by
Federal farm loan banks from
$4,000 to $4,000.

THINGS WE THINK

Of course the way they dress
nowadays is all wrong, but
would you like to see modern
girls running around in calico
wrappers and mother hub
bards?"
A Man always wishes he had
got a different car, a different
suit of clothes, a different
house-and often a different
wife.
Your friends will forgive you
a good many things but it isn't
we'll to put too great a strain
on them. They sometimes
break.
If you must be knocker,
try to knock the persimmons
from the tree of life.
One of the chief troubles
with the movie queens, seems
to be that they demand too ma
ny kings.
Motor cars which have put
the world on wheels have also
put wheels in the heads of a
good many of the drivers.
When a man says he is lead
ing a dogs life, the chances are
some woman is making a goat
of him.
A woman is never as old as
the neighbors say she looks.
The world surely is growing
better. It's been months, now
since any fond mother has for
ced her child to "speak a piece
for US.

Is the Coal Strike Settled?

The public is pleased to have
the long-drawn out coal strike
settled. Yet the so-called settle
ment is really nothing oil the
kind, merely a truce in the in
dustrial battle, when both sides
quit to bury the dead and get
their breath.
The same old issues have got
to come up again next summer,
and they must be really settled
then, unles the country is to
suffer very severly.
The time has come when the
United States Government can
no longer avoid action. 1t is the
tendency of politicians Of all
parties to hesitate to align them
selves on holly disputed quest
ions. They fear to take sides a.
gainst any popular feeling or
strongly organized element.
The government should not
again permit a great necessity
of life, like coal, to be tied up
this way. 1t must tell the con-
tending parties that they must
consent to some form of concil-
iation or arbitration, or that Sc
we're penalties will otherwise
be imposed. And it mus t pro-
tect the public from unfair pric
es, whether caused by the pro-
fits of operators or the wages
of employees. The public, after
this warning, should not toler-
ate another experience such
as this.
