envy has done remarkably well, thanks
to the persistency of its advocates
and to the generosity Of individuals
and organizations. Few schools Of
like class can show similar record Of
financing. Vermont academy starts
the new scholastic year with pros
poets thereby greatly frightened, and
il has great deal to do to live up
to the hopes and expectations Of those
who have contributed so splendidly to
its rehabilitation. The school has had a
good record; it seems to stand in a
fair way of repeating that record,

vest vegetables on the Cove farm

course there was no time for the boys
to 90 home for old clothes, as some OF
them lived on farms.
And, by the way, have just received
The Times Of Saturday, Sept. IL, and
read the letter contained therein by
chairman OF the school board who
charges me with falsifying this and
other facts. II he viii call on me for

name Of our selectman who gave me
the facts, and that Of his son also,

teacher who made the cake with II
eggs. II would not be right TO put her
name in print. for she was an estimable
young lady and was merely the un-
willing victim of the junior high school
requirements after she had plainly told
the school officials that she knew lit

books and happened to select recipe
Of very expensive cake, especially for
war time, when the market price for
eggs was 81 cents per dozen.

school teacher for last year as $50 per
week as compared with the price paid

CURRENT COMMENT
The Fruit stesIers.

Formerly fruit stealing was largely
confined to boys. Many youngsters
have always made themselves nuts
ances by their lawless depredations.
But however mean such mischief might
seem, you could at least recognize that
IL was the work Of immature young
folks who would know better when
they get older.
But q new type OF garden raiders
has come upin northeastern Vermont in
recent years, consisting of grown up
men, who have no excuse of youth or
immaturity. They make business of
it, and go out on dark nights with
bags, usually in automobiles, so that
they can make their forays over wide
area The honest farmer or gardener.
who has toiled all summer, comes out
some fine morning and finds that these
dirty thieves have been through his
garden and all his work is watsted.
A good watch dog with well sharp
ened teeth Is an excellent protection
against such scoundrels and most farm
ers and gardeners need one in these
times.-St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

The ripening of the fruit has
brought out the lAual number Of fruit
thieves in northern Vermont, most of
them travelling by automobile and pre-
pared to make a quick getaway in
case Of detection. We believe that
each farmer ought to arm himself, as

Redfeld Proctor's publicity cam
.paign cost him pretty penny
$40, 45S- but there is some satisfac-
tion to him in knowing that the pub
LEFTY was not Of the hamboyant style
and it promised little, or nothing, that
there wasn't some chance of making
good. On top Of that publicity ex-
pense there was an outlay Of s2,349.2l,
making a total Of S22,s07.2l. There is
no doubt that the money was hon.
estly and legally spent, but still the
amount is larger than it ought to be
necessary to spend in this little state
vi Vermont, and it probably was far
larger than Mr.. Proctor anticipated at
the outset would be spent.

THE CONCESSIONS TO TURKEY

The partial acceptance by the Turk
| ish Nationalist government Of tht
compromise plan offered them by the
\ allies is likely to be followed by com
plete acceptance and the elimination
Of the potential war. Therein there
| is, of course, a great measure Of sat
/, isfaction. Yet the terms of the prob
able agreement are not such as to in
crease the prestige of the allies--Great
Britain in particular. The United
| States, not formally member Of the
allies, although an ally of the allies
| in the World war, is not in the reck-
oning when it comes to summing up
Of the results Of the negotiations now
being brought to a close, France al
ready had an agreement with the gov
eminent so strongly led by Mustapha
Renal Pasha and does not suffer ma
terially in prestige inasmuch as the
efforts of French diplomacy have been
directed from the outset toward pla-
eating Mustapha Renal. Italy has
tended toward the same direction, hav-
ing withdrawn her troops from Ada
liza, that part of the old Turkey which
Italy was supposed to have in the di-
vision of Turkey. In consequence,
Great Britain was left very much
alone when it. came to presentation OF
bold front to the ambitio-s of Mus
tapLa Renal; and Great Britain chief
ly suffers in prestige because the al
lies consented to let the Turkish Ma
tionalists have Constantinople, and
Thrace as far as the Martha river.
Greece is, accordingly, circumscribed
in her ambition for greater domain,
being forced by both military defeat
and the decision Of the allies to sur
render much Of the Turkish territory
given her in the hurried apportion
ment after the World war.
Viewed at from almost any angle,
the Turkish Nationalist are immeas-
urably increased in prestige and in |
possessions by the conces-
sions made by the allies. The Turk
ish armies swept the Greeks before
them with surprising ease. Then the
Turkish diplomats forced valuable con-
ressions from such powerful nation
as Great Britain through the threat |
Of war. The outcome Of such war
never could be doubted once Great
Britain was firmly launched upon it;
out war was irksome to British gov
and people at this time and

granting much to Turkey, also pur-
bort to maintain the neutrality Of the
)ardanelles. Turkey. through its ap.

TropfcaIs Moving Readily.

Sales of hot weather clothing. or

Statesmen who are on the road have
found retailers stocks at a low ebb
and have booked a good volume OF
business, although retailers continue to
buy in an economic manner. Gabar-
dimes seem TO have superseded Palm
Beach suits as a leading summer suit,
for manufacturers report sales Of the
former considerably in excess Of Palm
Beach sales. Mohairs are enjoying a
steady demand. The summer season is
running aleng with the fall season. as
statesmen are also carrying their fall
lines of clothing. Although several
manufacturers report having booked
close to the normal volume of advance
orders. others find retailers slow In
committing themselves. despite indica-
tons that prices will be advanced soon
in keeping with higher cloth prices.
