"Laying pullets are commanding high prices and there is really a scarcity of them due to the war times, when people either sold their hens because of the high prices paid by market men or on ac count of the sky-high prices of grain at that time.

The way t disarm, as a practical New York paper remarks, is to disarm. The way t-i cut down the cost of armament is to cut down the cost of armament ii"t in the indefinite future, but in the living present. Great Britain has adopted this simple, practical policy, making an immediate cut of ."in per cent in its army and navy bndgeis fur next year. This move is precisely in line with Senator Borah's p:an ior a o per cent reduction in new naval construction for tin' next fiv years by a triple agreement on the part of America, Great Britain and Japan. "". There is every indication that Britain would gladly extend this economical jxd- icy to cover the proposed live-year per iod. Utterances in Japan suggest that that country would welcome a similar move, if Japanese statesmen were per suaded that they could take it safely. They are simply afraid of American armament. Everything hinges on the I 'nited States. Our government can de termine the armament policy of these three powers, and then bv inevitable consequence the policy of the other big powers and all the little ones. Such work as this was expected of the league of nations. The league has felt it useless to take up the disarma ment question without the co-operation of the United States. Whether or not this country is going to join the league, there is no need to wait. The main thing is to make a start at disarmament, and the United States can make that start now, without any dan ger to itself, thereby easing the burden of the whole world and- saving itself a heap of money. DISPLAY AND CKIMK. It would be hard to say how much the increasing custom of wearing expensive jewelry at all hours and places and of displaying tat purses in public has to do with the increase in.crime, but doubtless it is enough to warrant some checking of these habits. There was a time, not long ago, when comparatively few of the very wealthy and socially prominent possessed jewels of any size or note, and these were worn upon state occasions only, while simpler ideas of shopping and entertainment made the carrying of large sums of ready money unnecessary. Today the posses sion of costly jewelry is almost as com mon as the ownership of dishes or furn iture, and it is worn at all hours of the day and night, regardless of time or fitness. The fat purse is the natural accompaniment of such exhibition. Under the old regime the highway man had to search for a victim. Today it is an even chance that any man or woman walking along the city street, will repay attack, while a few minute. of observation in any crowd will reveal numberless promising candidates. The field which heretofore afforded re com peiis f. r only a few is now the J.appy hiintb.- .u.Hind for an increasine- num ber of the criminal minded. A good many excellent peop would be indignant if told that their innocent vanity was largely responsible fnr the crime increase, but a little '.'aim e.,ti;,l. e rat ion should convince tlu.-m, since the thing which makes them i-r.; . viu.fu UUU. IU the merchant and the assr-by as fi nancially successful rwirks them like wise to the observant thief. That black bear on Mt. Grevlock might as well give up the ghost. The hunting party organized to go after him have been notified that it was not allowable to use firearms on the re- D serve and are now going after bruin with bows ami arrows and long swords. Somebody ought to take along a falcon. A good portion of the country is now engaged in the pleasant pastime of picking out iostmasters and there are doubtless many present postmasters who found after being picked that the post office as a pastime was not as pleasant as predicted.

The Morrisville Messenger, desirous of lending a right hand to the plan of Representative Charles II. Stearns of Johnson for tearing down the educational system of . Vermont, has the following : One trouble with our rural schools today is too much consolidation. Almost spent annually for transportation alone. As a Richmond mother said with tears in her eyes nt a meeting of school direct ors, called to see about re-establLshing a school In her district. "I want my children near home. I do not like the company they are in or the thine they learn going to and from the central school. It is ruiniiis their characters." There you have it. She is only one of thousand of mothers who feel the same way. There ere several significant thinzs about this little "sob story" of the es teemed ind venerable contemporary. The gool mother does not like the com pany her children get into ocn their way to school. Doesj she expect that the school direct ors or the town or th state can guaran tee tne desirability of every child that goes to a public school? It is a mother's natural rerwilsion from things coarse, unlovely or (Fjsillusioniz- mg, but it isn't practical. All children must go to school in this stnt?. and thev al' should co to school. " The sooner a cluhl finds, out that there are. boys and girls of all kinds in this world and learns to pick aiud choose his friends the better for him. "What Ihis tearful mother wants is a private school of three or four hand- nicked nm oils and a teacher she can hire herself. It is a lovely idea buv it is not reasonable and it is not good democracy. r u rthermore, sh was before the right rribunnl to secure a remedy fotr existing abust, if there are abuse, in Rich mnml nr ltctiarii Tlin fuclnrtnt rmflril can give the "sob sister" a nchool just as! soon as the required number of three "residents" petition therehor and pro duce a minimum of five chihlrem. Think of it: Two more sohbine mothers on those who don't sob, with five children amng them, can get such a school if the local directors see fit to establish it, yet the contemporary brings f.rvnr1 t hi tertrihlA ptmnl( ns an nr- gument against the system as it stands; now. Repeal the transportation law? Very we'!. Then there must be .some sort of a law to govern the situation. What 'aw does the contemporary propose? A law to make it mandatory on the school dh-ootors tit establish such schools, whether they have money to do it or not or whether the majority of the taxpayers J 1 want 11 r not: The Mfessenircr knows better.

Sob sister stuff such as the fore going is a mere smoke screen tor the Stearns slogan : "Restore the Johnson normal school or tight !" Farm Help and Plural Marri ige! (Rutland Herald.) The Vergennes Enterprise and Ver monter claims authentic record for the following suggestion, said to have been received by the governor of Colorado from one George Smith: "I offer you something to help the farmers, anil you can lead all the other governors if you can get it made a law. It is, let the city men have one wife and the farmers have two wives. You see. "one could help the other, and a farmer could more surely raise boys to work the farm, ami not need to hire at high wages. Then the farmers could sell crops cheap and make money, and living in cities would be cheaper, ami many young men would leave cities to le on a farm and have two wives. A farmer can't get any help unless it ix born and raised on a farm. You would be a better man than Lincoln if you can get the United States to let all the farm ers have two wives." The contemporary says that this sug with scant respect wherever , proinul gestion receives but little supixut from the press and probably it is treated gated, but the history of rural develop ment in ancient times, down to the tre mendous agricultural progress of Utah in this country, might indicate that the idea, repugnant as it is to our Ameri can ideals of the home and community, is not so much of a joke as it seems at first blush. The patriarchs of I'.ible times prac ticed plural marriage and supitortcd es tablishments of women, varying in num ber from two or three of the fininder.4 of the various tribes of Israel to the seven hundred wives, princesses f the royal blood, and three hundred concu bines from tho Mtulr?cH, Ammonites, IMomites. Zidoniaus and Hittites, "many strange women, together with the (laughter of I'haraoh." which made up the establishment or harem of King Solomon, "wisest of men." Oriental exaggeration or free transla tion has probablv enlarged and ampli fied this King Solomon story, but the practice of jxdygamy. so abhorrent to Anglo-Saxon ideas, comes straight from Uie Orient and scriptural writ to Joseph gtilith. founder of the Mormons, whose rfnditution of polygamy undoubtedly Lelped' to solve many of the early problems- ofcUtah. Smith-" and Rrighnm Young never had any "help1 problem. U.vcn today, in southern Kfalio and Utah, the traditions of Mormomsni, while they do not effect uate in actual polygamy, may be marked by large, robust families, mostly bred to the soil and taking as naturally to ag riculture as a dnk lakes to water. In California, the- much-hated Japan ese does not openly iractice polygamy, but his easy-going ways of picture mar riage, divorce and frankly unmoral con ditions if social contact have resulted in population increases tltat are "giving piiet stmhmts of such things consider able concern. To state things in practical . terms, the birth rate on the farm is of the utmost importance in the progress of agriculture, but plural marriage will probably not be the solution ! In this respect, the fine old native Vermont families are at a disadvantage. The newcomers. French Canadians. Eu ropeans or other races, are practical dis believers in race suicide. We Vermont ers. proline ourselves on the assumption that the lion's whelp is of more conse quence than the rabbit's litter, run to smaller families and even no families, so that here and there more often than we like to think of the best of the old Vermont stock is dying out. The answer, of course, is not poly gamy, but clearly we can no longer ex pect our farmers' wives to bear and rear large families, do the work for a large household and at the same time take the part in home and community activi ties that changing conditions oner ner. More help for the farm ! At last we cet down to fundamentals ami realize that not only must rural conditions be made more pleasant and agreeable, but that farmers' wives must have in their homes or plants something approxi- mating the conveniences and labor-saving devices which are fixtures in the field, the barn and the dairy today. The gentleman from t olorado states things a little crudely, but what lies back of his peculiar state or mina is the fact that farmers' wives neither can nor will work from daylight to dark hereafter, with Sunday a special prob- leni of its own and holidays so few as to lie forcetlable. Thev aren't looking for deputy wives. but are demanding modern conveniences and help enough to o their work with out exhaustion and with time enough to devote to a growing family whose birth is soon to be celebrated, at- i .. ciiku in ili l,wtn idineu a jut-an. r ....

Those Who Would Spread It Out Invite Attention to Great Inventions. Advocates of the practice of spreading woik out so that there may be enough iors to go around are invited by a wrfter in a recent issue of a Iittle"s bulletin called the Industrial Digest, published weekly in this city, to recall the circum stances attendiivr the inventions of llar zreave. Arkwriglit and Watts. Seeking a night's lodging in Lancashire, Ark wiight, a barber by trade, discovered Hargreave busily engaged in the dead of night and in the utmost screcy tryiner to evolve a spinning wheel that would turn out eight threads at one time. The se crecy was necessitated by the fact that James llargreave stood in actual dan trer of the attacks of the village spin ne's and weavers, who had already in vaded his home and destroyed one ma chine which he had succeeded in making. Ilargreave's spindle jenny became a fact, and Arkwriglit, discovering that he had an inventive mind, improved Har rreave's machine. Watts having invented hi steam engine, a factory was estab lished by Arkwright and his improved spindles were steam-perated. The death knoll of the cotta. industry of the weav er and spinners had sounded, but, cot ton users the world over, including the workers in the mills themselves have gieitly benefited,, says the writer, who calls attention to the fact that "exam ples of 'ca'canny' as practiced by M'ork men are familiar to English industrial in terests," ami that a similar spirit of caution in doing work so as to provide j'dis for all has been and still is being evi denced; here.
