a STRONG CHARACTER

ql,J Race prejudice is bound to
fcySay before the influ-
ence character, education
and wealth. These are me-
cessary to the growth of our
race. Without wealth there
can be no leisure, without
leisure there can be no
thought, and without thought
there can be no progress

terest IN municipal affairs the
meeting promises to be largely at
tended The mention Of Fred {.
Beck as d candidate for school
director for three years to sue
ceed Harry H. Carr, whose term
expires this spring, has stirred up
quite an unexpected interest in
our school affairs.
Harry H. Carr in an interview
with the Calcdonan-R Record today
said he had served the town for
the past six years as school dir
cctor and ne felt that he had
done his share. He added that
he felt it no more than right that
someone else should take on the
duties of school director.
Among the other important
offices to be named at this cau-
Gus is that of town selectman to
fill the expired three year term
Of Frank N. Carr The latter has
made a faithful and efficient pub
lie servant and the Calcdonian-
Record has heard it generally c2s-
pressed that he ought to his own
successor.
Tho three year term Of Frank
l.. Harris expires as lister and his
services in the past entitle him
to a rc-nomination and election.
The same applies to the three

must be filled at Tie March meet
ing and this Is a trustee for pub

In a brilliant setting of nat

under way 1t 9 o'clock this even

EDITORIAL
SATURDAYS CAUCUS

The caucus to nominate officers
for the town is called at 200
o'clock tomorrow, Saturday af-
tcrnoon, at the Town hall. 1t is
theduty of every good citizen to
be present at the caucus and vote.
Very little has been heard in re
gard to candidates this year an!
so far there is apparently little,
if any contest for the various Of
fees. Usually this condition re.
suits in a small attendance at the
caucus, which is always an in
vitation to disaster. Many a man
has slipped quietly into an Office
which he was totall- untitled to
occupy, Simpl- because the maiori-
ty of the voters failed to turn out
to the caucus or election. In the
unusual stress of the present
times, it is more important than
ever that the best man available
be elected to manage the affairs
Of the town.
The announcement in this ~apcr
that Fred c. Beck is candidate
for the office Of school director
has been verv favorably received.
Mr.. Beck is we'll known to almost
everybody in St. JohnSburv He
haS always given close attention
10 the business in which he is en-
ployed and has risen steadily to
one of the most RESPONSIBLE DoSl-
tions of The Fairbanks Company.
He has never sought political
office and does not seek it now,
but he is willing to allow his name
to be presented at the caucus to-
morrow afternoon as a candidate
for school director He is well
qualified for this position, com
binin~ good business abilit-' with
sound common sense and tact,
and if elected will make a valu-
able addition to the school board.

The coldest spot in the United
States TODAY were Canton, N. Y.
Northfield, VT, and Greenville,
Me, where the temperatures
ranged from 20 to 40 degrees be-
low zero, The cold wave was in
effect today far below the Mason
and Dixon line.
BOSTON, Feb. 1.-THE official
temperatures here at a. m. was
a below zero. Unofficial thermo-
meters registered as low as IA be-
low.
Although the official tempera-
ture as announced at the Fair
banks Museum this morning indi-
Gated "a degrees below zero, vet
thermometers in various parts of
st. Johnsbury varied widely. The
coldest temperature reported was
"a near the Passumpsic river,
where the mercury descends with
greater facilit'' on cold days than
it does on the top of the Plain. AT
various points on Pearl street the
cold was indicated by the descent
OF the fluid TO points varying be-
tween % and 30.
Unprotected by the hills, which
nestle about the larger community
of st. Johnsbury, the little
village of st. Johnsbury Center
this morning announced tn lowest
temperature recorded for some
time. The mark TO which the mer-
curry fell was 46 degrees below.
With any wind at all sweening
down through the Passumpsic
Valley the mercuIv is bound to
descend much lower at the Center
than it is accustomed to in st.
Johnabury.
At Concord the temperature
this morning was given as 80 be-
low zero, this mark being the
happy medium to which the ma
lo1ty of the towns and villages in
Northeastern Vermont seem to
cling.
Beginning with October rs,
1921 when the initial trace of snow
mingled with rain, and
until the last snow storm Thurs
day, there have fallen exactly six
feet of snow. If all of this white
haky substance had remained it
would have made quite an obstacle
to wade through.
During November 26, four
inches of snow fell, during Decem-
ber 11.9, during January 176. and
during February to date 1914.

Beating the Boil Weevil

The prediction that there will be as
many if not more boil Weevils In Sou n
ern cotton fields in 1922 a, there were
, in 1921 may not come any nearer the
truth than the predictions so freely
made last fall that we were going to
have a severe winter. evertneless
it is safe to say that there will be a
sufficient number to give the cotton
grower all Of the trouble that he can
we'll take care of. SO far as we have
learned nothing has yet happened to
discourage this insect from again doing
its best to reduce the production CT
cotton another reason. and just as soon
as conditions appear favorable one may
expect those members of the tribe who
found comfortable quarters for the
winter to come out and make prepara-
tons for their annual raid on the cot
ton fields.
There are from three to four genera
tons Of boil weevils produced each
summer and naturally as the summer
grows older the boil weevils be, ONE
more numerous. Therefore, those who
have stucied the question and expert
mented have come to the conclusion
that the best way to raise cotton
crop is to plant the best seed obtainable
in the best seed bed possible to prepare
and by good cultivation and fertiliza-
ton, where possible, produce crop
before the second and third generation
get numerous enough to d. a great
amount Of damage. To fight the boil
weevil by cultural methods one must
not have a greater acreage than can
be properly cared for: Specialists be-
lieve that every farmer can secure pro
fitable yields from small acreage if
he will work hard enough and at the
right time. but that it can not be done
with large acreage except in cases
where labor, machinery and power can
be had when needed.
