Every possible precaution against forest and grass fires should be taken. County Agricultural Agent Deuel says the farmers of Glover, Greensboro and Craftsbury are among the most alert and progressive in the associa tion. The Monitor understands State Road Commissioner Bates has made the statement that the state will match any amount up to $150 any village or city will appropriate for oiling streets to allay the dust nuisance. If this is true no better thing could be done than for Barton to appropriate a modest sum for the purpose of doing away with our dust problem. Everything indicates that the Ver mont Methodist conference is in a flourishing condition and that Metho dism is on the increase in Vermont. That the conference as a body has pledged its united effort for prohibition is another indication that forces of every kind are united to drive the licensing of alcoholic drinks as a beverage from the face of the earth. Editor Holland of the Stanstead (P. Q.) Journal is one man in a thousand to stand up before the liquor interests of his county and fight them to the last ditch. The fight begun many months ago and week after week Mr. Holland's paper pounded the interests and their methods, which included his evacuation from a license hotel where he lived, and told the bare truth about the uselessness of booze. At election time tne county voted dry, and it wasi generally acknowledged that the vote was a result of his influence. Follow ing their defeat the liquor interests have endeavored to escape their doom through technicalities of the law. This method has also received telling blows from Brother Holland's paper and the whole matter has culminated in a brutal assault upon Mr. Holland (who is not too robust of body in any event) in his own office by a bartender. Mr. Holland escaped with his life but was severely bruised and has haled the offender into the Canadian courts. Three things have been demonstrated in all this struggle : First, the mighty influence of a newspaper with a man of conviction behind it; second, the cowardly and brutal methods of the liquor interests; third, that booze must go. The Monitor prays all power to the brother. This is the first opportunity for the writer to pay its .compliments to the Orleans county members of the Ver mont legislature of 1915. Three men at least from Orleans county made a noticeable record in the house. These three are F. T. Caswell of Derby, W. W. Blodgett of Newport and C. E. Hamblet of Barton. These three men were prominently associated with much of the important legislation of the session and carried their part through with honor. In many respects perhaps Mr. Caswell might be called Orleans county's leading member. He is a ready speaker and a good committee worker. Mr. Blodgett as chairman of the joint school and educational com mittee, had an important and difficult task to perform and Mr. Hamblet as a member of the important budget bill committee and as an authority on taxa tion matters did much telling work. This is not said with disparagement in regard to the other Orleans county men in the legislature who were conscien tious workers, but it is a fundamental of life that some must lead. No county we believe can name a greater number of sterling men in the last legislature than Orleans. In the senate Orleans county did not lag behind. Senator' Seaver especially was one of the dependable members of that body and was called upon to serve upon important committees and was sometimes heard upon the floor of the upper branch of our legislature and his words carried weight. ' 4 Lindon W. Bates, another Vermont er by birth, has distinguished himself in his administration of the United States Commission for the Relief of Belgium. The Literary Digest pub lishes a portrait of Mr. Bates, who as vice-chairman of the commission, has been its executive head -and says his "remarkable abilities and untiring labors as executive head of the organi zation in the United States have assured its extended successful opera tions. This commission affords an illuminating example of the way in which Americans organize for human itarian service on a vast scale, when the great occasion comes, and of the genius for such effort which is ever found ready at hand. At the commis sion's headquarters in this city, these months past, its engineer-in-chief has faithfully labored, eighteen hours out of the twenty-four often, without a dollar's compensation; and his labors deserve larger recognition than can be accorded here; Mr. Bates is an engineer in very fact, bred to the solution of hard problems, to the direction of difficult enterprises, and to the accomplishment of immense projects which require a clear head and executive gifts of the highest order.- Philanthropies, however extended, have not been supposed to demand the superlative skill or trained manage ment. But when it came to feeding millions of people threatened by famine, at the hands of nation-wide charity, focusing through one channel from thousands of local organizations and hundreds of thousands of individual givers, and reaching far into a foreign") land, by scores of ships, such manage ment was manifestly imperative. It was found in the person of Lindon W. Bates. His labors have been Hercu lean. Day and night for many weeks and months, he has carried on his heart the hunger of a smitten people, and has given himself to their minis try without stint, as the medium of generous-minded Americans whose liberality has demonstrated their humanity." Indirectly King Albert of Belgium pays Mr. Bates a tribute when he said: "Americans are both just and humane, and their system of distribu tion is excellent. I do not know what we should have done without the American Relief comrvttees. They seem to have thought cc everything. The food is invaluable particularly the flour. It has saved many from starvation." ARBOR DAY, MAY 7. It is highly important that the peo ple of our state give their earnest attention to the preservation of our forests, the protection of our song and insectivorous birds and general improvement of the attractive features of our commonwealth. I therefore proclaim Friday, May 7, 1915. Arbor Day, and urge our good people to considerately improve the day in carefully selecting and planting trees with the end in view of a steady increase of the substantial and eco nomic value of our forests and the improvement of our scenic beauty. It is essential that the necessity and worth of this work be impressed upon the minds of our boys and girls that the results may be beneficial and last ing. Fitting and impressive exercises should be held in all our public schools and practical demonstrations made in tree, shrub and flower planting by our teachers and by the people generally. The establishment of a practical system ot reforestation is important and a study of the needs of such should be made a feature of the day and become an important part of our edu cational system. Our efforts should not be selfish, but we should build for the future that the beautiful in nature, the strength in the forest and the power in the stream may be brought to the highest state of efficiency. Charles W. Gates, Governor. 180,000,000 Russians on the Water Wagon. In the May American Magazine Captain Granville Fortescue writes an article entitled. "Battling for War saw." It is an account of the great war of the eastern frontier of Ger many. Following is an extract: "When Russia went to war the Czar with a stroke of his pen put one hundred eighty million people" on the water wagon. And, believe me, this water wagon 'ikon is no bluff. It is harder to get a drink in Russia today than it is at Lake Mohonk. How wise was this edict of the ruler of Russia is now shown in the condition of his army. Their fighting effectiveness is higher than that of the French and fully equal to the English, measured by the physical fitness of the units composing the forces. On the other hand, the German soldiers nearly all carry flasks of whiskey or other spirits. Ivan the Siberian knows this, and I fear the famous edict is some times broken when a batch of prisoners is gathered in. The flasks are cer tainly contraband of war." Bridal Chamber Silver. Few places of equal extent in mother earth ever produced as much wealth in ore as the famous "bridal chamber" in the Lake Valley silver mines In southern New Mexico. It yielded over $3,000,000, the silver ore being found twenty feet underground and was tak en from a space no larger than a good sized room. One piece of ore weighed 81,000 pounds and returned smelter values of over $82,000. In another nearby shaft fifty feet In depth $116, 000 worth of ore of the samecharac ter was hoisted with a hand windlass In eight hours. Argonaut. First to Strike Oil. The first man to "strike oil" In the United States was E. L. Drake, a con ductor on the New Haven railroad. Employed at Oil Creek, Pa, to drill a well for oil, he accomplished, his task on Aug. 27, 1859, and his well went down Into history as the first ever drilled for oil in this country -few I York American. , - WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

The advice to Vermont farmers, "Raise more grain," given by the Bennington Banner, looks good. Why can't Vermont share to some extent in the blessings of two dollar wheat, soon to come, they say. Randolph Herald. Vermont Roads Appreciated. The people of Vermont will be grate ful for this JittJe truthful boast from a contemporary in a neighboring state, the Concoro Monitor, in the capital of New Hampshire. "Vermont leads the New England states in per capita owneship of auto mobiles, one to every 48 inhabitants. Aw1 't might be said that the Green Mountain stats? also his a greater proportion of good roadi than any of her sister states in this section of the country." The generous tribute of the contem porary on Vermont's roads leads us to state that New Hampshire herself has some of the finest strips of state roads on its main highways in the eastern section of the country, roads which are very well constructed and so smooth as to make travel over them a real pleasure. In fact some, of those roads are so good that they are the envy of Vermont people who have occasion to use them occasionally. New Hampshire as well as Vermont has been making much progress in the line of permanent road-buiJding and it is, in consequence, receiving a great deal of tourist travel by automo bile which brings in a large revenue. Barre Times. Hard Facts by Dr. Pritchett. In the meantime Vermonters will find food for thought in the concluding words of Mr. Pritchett, who, after reviewing the opposition of the col leges to the recommendations of the educational commission and the small chance which the rural schools have in the face of such organized opposition, concludes with the following prophecy: "And, the cold fact remains that somehow, some day, Vermont roust reconstruct its rural schools, free from politics and turn their faces in the opposite direction if it is to live and prosper. Some day this work will be seriously undertaken. When that day comes perhaps the Foundation's report will be of some use. The studies made by these foundations must achieve their resul t by a slow process. They can never hope to withstand the first, sharp appeal to local interest. But if they are fair and educationally sound they will in the long run receive the support of thoughtful men in every state and help to shape a public opinion which will rise above consider ations of personal or local interest. A patriotism will in time spring up which is wider than a college campus or a town or a county or a state. It is to this larger spirit that an educational foundation which has no widespread organization, no alumni, no constit uency must spread. It must expect to wait on time." Enosburg Standard. x Vermont's Destiny. The Herald believes that Vermont has an increasingly promising future before her in an industrial, agricul tural, and tourist-attracting sense. None of these is more important than agriculture, because the Droduction of food is the absolute essential of all material progress. Seven or eight years ago, Theodore N. Vail told a party of newspaper men at Speedwell that the time would come when Ver mont must not only increase her products of milk, cream, butter, cheese, sugar, etc., but must be ready to raise her own beef, pork and mut ton, her own cereals and in some degree her own wool and flax. In brief, Vermont must be self-sustaining, producing not only enough for her own needs, but able to contribute profitably to supplying the wants of adjacent centers of population like New York and Boston. The events of subsequent years emphasize the wis dom and foresight of Mr. Vails admonition. Today, Vermont is pay ing a high price for meats and cereals, due to a big war demand, and yet she is producing very little corn, wheat or oats as compared with her acreage. Her production of beef is almost negli gible, and thousands of sheep and hogs could be supported by waste sidehill acres, now devoted to indifferent pasturage. "Would you buy a Vermont steer if he were fed and fattened for the market?" was asked of a close-buying, successful butcher. "Certainly I would. There is no reason why Vermonters can't fatten steers as well as they do in Ohio or Ontario. Trouble is they don't raise the feed," was the answer. Growing wheat in Vermont is some thing of a problem, so is ripening corn, but there is no trouble about growine oats. In fact, the Vermont yield of oats per acre last year was-a world beater, , according to figures given out by the state publicity department. What has stalled progress in growing cereals and producing meat animals is the one-crop idea of butter fat only. esteemed by a majority of Vermont farmers as the prime requisite of ag ricultural success, and the reputation of Vermont milk, butter and cheese is something of a justification for that belief. The economical loss in sending away our butter-fat and paying a very large proportion of the proceeds to the feed store and mill must be apparent to all. We need not, curtail our dairy output, but we need to grow more cereals. With more corn, oats and peas would come the demand for wheat, and students of our alluvial valleys believe that wheat would be produced profitably thereon, given the motive and intensive methods to make it pay. The problem of our state college and experiment station in these years of progress is to show Vermont farmers how to keep their money in the state by growing their own cereals and raising their own meat cattle. Meanwhile, the tourist trade, and industrial progress is also well worth studying. Rutland Herald. A Mean Question. "I have been to consult a beauty doc tor about my complexion."

He had tramped about 40 miles. Deputy Kinney took him to the Lamoille county jail. $535 la High Price for Cow at Eig Sale. A big two-days' sale of Holstein Friesian cattle was held in Bellows Falls last week. Some good prices were brought and the high price of $565 was paid for Maplemont KatrinaBeetes. Other cows brought as high as $55U and the receipts to the company which cjudjated the saie amounted to thou sands of dollars. About 200 cattle were sold. Hundreds of cattle breed ers attended the sale, which was the largest ever held in the East and the hotel and rooming house accommoda tions were taxed to their capacities, cots being placed in the"hotel parlors to help toward caring for the many visitors in town. Baptists Vote $18,000 for Missions. The apportionment committee of the Vermont Baptist State convention met in Rutland. Friday and voted $18,183.56 for carrying on missionary work for the coming year. The Rev. Dr. W. A. Davison, of Burlington, the secretary, in announcing a gift of a check for $10,000 from the late Deacon Willard Crane of Burlington, said that 14 years ago, when Mr. Davidson took control the per capita amount raised was 23 cents. He suggested that this be raised to $1 and Deacon Crane said it was a crazy idea. Nevertheless this amount was raised and a big debt was wiped out. Ever since the per capita percentage has been 75 cents. The money voted is to be expended on 112 churches for state, home and foreign missions, the publication society, min isters', and missionaries' pensions, and the expense of the Northern Baptist convention. Railway Day Clean-up, Friday, May 7. In the Vermont CleanUp campaign the first week of May, tha Greater Vermont association proposes Friday, May 7, as Railway day, on which citizens and organizations and Clean up committees are requested to give special attention to cleaning up prop erties abutting on the railroads and to removing rubbish and disfigure ments near the railroad right of way which may spoil Vermont views for the traveller. This work ought to be done in the villages and the cities and in the country if Vermonters are to be loyal to the slogan: "Vermont, as perfect as a garden, as beautiful as a park." The railroads will co-operate by putting their men at work on the right of way and devoting Friday, May 7, or if something unforeseen should prevent, a following day to clean-up work on their right of way. The Greater Vermont association finds among all av disposition to work to make Vermont immaculate, in a class by herself. Morgan Stock Sold at Battell Estate. A large number of lovers of good horses gathered in Middlebury April 20 to attend the auction sale of some i of the Morgan stock belonging to the estate of the late Joseph Battell. There were between 400 and 500 people present, covering many sections of Vermont and a large number of other states, among them New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine and Massa chusetts. Not all of the stock was disposed of and for the leading sales the prices were in most cases below what the animals were considered worth. The triple blue ribbon stallion, "Scotland," was sold to Mr. Lunkof Bangor Me., for $800; "Robert Bruce" brought $455 from C. A. Stone of Boston, who also purchased the stallion, "Green Mountain Bay," for $405; the blue ribbon mare, "Roxy Gates." went to W. S. Tob of New York for $290. Mr. Battell had valued "Scotland" at $10,000 and in his life time no one could have bought him for less. Between 30 and 40 horses were disposed of during the, day. Stowe Man Killed by Auto. Carl Ned French of Stowe was struck and instantly killed by an auto mobile owned and driven by J. P. Rabidou of Northfield Saturday night on the road between .Barre and Mont pelier, and his brother, James E. French, with whom he was walking, is in a Montpelier hospital with a broken leg and a badly cut and bruised head and internal injuries are ' feared. Rabidou was placed under arrest after a short investigation by State's Attor ney Fred E. Gleason on a charge of manslaughter. Bail was fixed at $3,000, which was furnished by Dr. W. Mayo and Charles A. Plumley of Northfield. A searching investigation is being conducted by the state's at torney. The accident which resulted in the death of one man and possible fatal injuries to another, occurred shortly after ten o'clock p. rn., in front of the car barns of the Barre & Montpelier Traction company, two miles from Montpelier and almost directly in front of the house of James French, where the two brothers were going after walking from Montpelier. Educational Butter Scoring. The fifth educational butter scoring took place at Morrill hall at the state university on Jan. ; 29th. Forty-five samples of butter were scored, twenty three of which were from creameries and twenty-two from dairies An in creasing interest in the scorings is evident since a year ago at this season there were but twenty-eight samples received.. The creamery butter re ceived the high average score of 94.42, dairy butter, 92.70, while the average of all the samples was 93.59, the highest score yet attained with the exception of the October scoring. The best piece of butter present, received a score of 97.3. The average moisture content of the butter, 12.73 per cent, was also the highest that has obtained at any of the scorings. The Judges were O. L. Bent of Boston, George Lamson of Burlington and A. A. Bor land of the state university. Compar ing the scores received this time with those of a year ago by makers sending samples regularly, we note an increase THIE GKEAT WAE i Is teaching the people of wait to learn this lesson from intrench against old age and other may by opening an account with The Burlington Trust C.

Simonds, a St. Johnsbury lawyer, as chairman of the state industrial accident board, which was created under the act of the recent legislature in enacting a work men's compensation law. Mr. Simonds was a member of the senate which assisted in the passage of the act and was prominent during the session in favor of the bill. He was also one of the leading members of vthe general assembly, being chairman of the senate judiciary and fourth joint rul e committees, as well as a member of the committees on banks and justice and municipal courts. . Chairman Si monds is 44 years of age. He served as state's attorney for Caledonia county from 1908 to 1912 and was elected senator from that county at the last election. Besides being prom inent in the work of enacting the workmen's compensation law, the features of which he is now called to administer, Mrs. Simonds was influ ential in opposition to the Boston & Maine re-organization bill, which was defeated. The position of chairman of the industrial accident board carries a salary of $2,000 per year, and ex penses are allowed. There are to be two other members of the board, with salaries of $1,500 each and expenses, but Governor Gates has not yet made his selections for those positions.
