Many a farm boy walked five
miles to that store, his heart purr-

a tarantula spider might be hiding
in the bunch of bananas-which
all grown-ups will recall were de-

Along one side, the farmers

Bad news has surprise, novelty
shock from its very nature. Acct
dents, disasters, scandals and
crimes sink, into the metropolitan

newspaper gravitation and a sad
law it is.
Good events in a little city, if
they are to form metropolitan and
national news, must have likewise
the surprise the :iovelty, the shock
that forcibly lift them into the
newspaper columns. Many a good
event is not good enough because
it has not this dramatic, thhis new

Jackson's Decision Commended


The decision of Major H. Nelson
Jackson not to be a candidate for
the Senate does credit to his
judgement. The day after day,
month after month, year after year
deadly grinding routine Of a legis-
lature body is not the kind of work
that Major Jackson can do best.
AS the old saying goes, "He is Just
as well fitted for L. S. Senator as
He'll is for a Powder House." and
no one knows it yetter than Major
Jackson. Wherefore the state has
reason to commend him. One of
the sad things about political cam
paigns is to see men aspire to
places they are not fitted to fill
Often they are good men and use
full citizens in their own way and
place and sometimes they cannot
understand why they aree not
chosen to nubiic places. If they are
told by well meaning friends they
are not convinced and they go for
ward to inevitable defeat because
they cannot see what is lain to
everybody except the one per-
son interested. There are one or
two other candidates in the world
this year who mightswell profit by
the example set by Major Jackson.

Watch Damp Hav


The current number of the
Washington County Farm Bureau
News gives timely warning to
farmers about the danger of spon-
taneous combustion in hay that is
moved into barn while in d
damp condition.
The farm contemporary asserts
that it is generally conceded that
there is such a thing as spontane-
Gus combustion in hay but declar-
es that the combustion will not
take place in hay which Carries
only its own moisture, even if
quite damp"
The combustion takes place, ac-
cording to this contemporary, in
hay which it put into the barn
when wet with dew or rain; and
hay, when curing. does heat
dangerously high" and should,
therefore, be left alone or treated
to keep it compact as the opening
up of the hay admits more air
and increases the danger of fire.
These are some valuable points
to be considered by farmers of
Vermont who are now engaged in
the process of curing and storing
of their 1922 crop of hay, especi-
ally in view of the fact that the
haying season has been accom-
panied by great many rainfalls,
which soaked the cut grass.
No doubt the farm bureau
agent at Montpelier would be
willing to take up the matter
more in detail should any farm
er desire added information re-
garding the LANCER from sponta-
neous combustion in hay.-Barre

QQ-4 Per Cent Perfect

Vermont again is in the lime
light, this time leading the whole
country in the highest pro rata
gain in membership in the Amer
lean Legion for the year 1922, ac-
cording to Allen Fletcher, adiutant
of the State Department of the
Legion. The FIGURES show that
Vermont is 1914 per cent perfect in
paid-up memberships.
This certainly speaks we'll for
Vermont veterans and the we'll
founded faith they have in the
American Legion. The pity is that
the rest of the states can not at
this time, report the same high
standing but undoubtedly the
higher percentage will come with
time. In the number of actual
memberships, Vermont stands
eighth with regard to the other
states Of the Union and this posi-
ton is indeed creditable.
When is comes to doing the
right kind of thing, Vermont will
usually be found in the vanguard.
The showing with regard to Amer
can Legion membership is merely
proof of this.--Burhngton News.
