About the only drop in foodstuffs
heard of in Vermont was the collapse
of that flour storehouse in St. Johns
bury. The Vermont committee or! public
safety during the war justified its
name; it comes out with a balance of
$J,300 on hand.
and although Manchester is quite close
ly related in business matters with
Massachusetts, where the daylight sav
ing system is on operation, Manches
ter's first Interest is with New Hamp
shire, or" that part of the state lying
in the southern tier of counties. Under
the daylight saving system Manchester
was very much out of joint with the
remainder of the state; and the action
of the city council in rescinding the
order establishing the system this sum
mer (a not to be wondered at. Daylight
suving ought not to be attempted un
less uniformly throughout a wide area
of the county, say, for instance, the
New England states, New York and
New Jersey. There might be disar
rangement on the western border of
New York and New Jersey; but the re
mainder of the district could get along
very well and make more progress.
.There were some real brainstorms in
Matewan, W. Va. Also too much ready
finger on the trigger. The crime on
May 19 ought to be punished to the full
extent of West Virginia's laws. z

The Volstead act has been invoked in
the case of a southern Vermont mer

nothing to do with Vermont political

routine. Mr. Agan will please take
notice.

MR. EMERY AND THE CORRUPT
PRACTICES LAW.
C. S. Emery's frank statement re
garding his part of the framing of the
corrupt practices law now on the Btat
ute books of Vermont ought to go far
toward silencing the restricted clamor
beina made against the Newport can
didate for governor. Sotne of the news
papers seemed to take the stana mat
because Mr. Emery, when he was a
member of the legislature, attempted
to stop the use of great sums of money
in political campaigns, he was guilty vt
committing a reprehensible act against
the state of Vermont, whereas his .only
purpose was tU prevent a repetition of
some of the scandalous practices in
Vermont political life. Mr. Emery was
working for the best interest of the
state when he assisted in framing the
corrupt practices law; and we believe
the people of state will commend him
now for these effort if they did no.
extend commendation when the law was
placed on the statute books. If the op
ponents of Mr. Emery have nothing
better than that on which to base their
onoosition to him as a candidate for
governor they are in a hard way indeed.

Another big automobile truck has
rone through a Vermont bridge, happily
sithout injury to the three occupants
f the truck. Isn't it about time that
the carrying capacity of Vermont's
krldges were determined and the flnd
iigs distinctly announced at either en
trance to the bridges? Several accl
lents of this nature have occurred and
persons have been killed in the fall of
truck and bridge' material. The marking
f the carrying rapacity of bridges

Despite the somewhat extravagant
ilaims of the managers of the Wood

Bin that neither of those candidates

f the known pledges of any candi-
te that the nomination may go to

CURRENT COMMENT
We Must Produce More.
In a discussion of "production s a
remedy for inflation," George E. Rob
erta, -vice-president of the National
City Bank of New York and a well
known authority on economic condi
tions, declares it hat the country over,
according to official reports, the num
ber of hired laborers on the farms is
12 per cent smaller than it was a year
ago. This has a bearing on the food
shortage campaign with which we are
trying to rouse people hereabouts to
a revival of war gardening and similar
activities. Mr. Roberts reports 37 per
cent more employe in 'ine auvoraouua
industry; 55 per cent more in the
clothing business; 11 per cent more in
the manufacture of paper, end from 10
to 93 per cent moTe in the several
branches of the textile industry. This
means more mouth to feed, more mon
ey with which to bid for agricultural
products, and a smaller number of pro
ducers. Whether there has been any let down
in productive capacity of the agricul
tural labor, Mr. Roberts does not ty,
but he gives some interesting illus
trations in other industries. Jhe direc
tor of the United tates census re
port that the performance of the force
engaged in tabulating the returns now
coming in, is notably lower than in
former experiences of the bureau, and
that the employes recently delegated
a committee to wait on the authorities
to ask that the minimum requirement,
which has been heretofore enforced, be
reduced. And this is in a government
office, which at moat works only seven
hours a day. Mr. Roberts also called
attention to a reduction in the run
ning time of the highly automatic ma
chinery of our textile industries. It
used to run 64 hours a week; it has
gone to 48 hours, and efforts lire now
making to carry it down to 44.
How can we help having commodi
ties of all kinds- ecarce when we have
lowered our own standards of their
production? If we do not as a people
produce, how can we consume? Or
putting it in another way, what law
will give man 120 bushels of pota
toes as compensation for raising 100
bushels? How can we, in the long run
get more out of the industrial process
than we put in? Boston Herald.

"There, gentlemen," said the host,
with a smile, "is the first non-reflllable
whiskey bottle that I have ever seen."

refilled." , , L .
"Can it?" retorted the host. "Then,

have succeeded in getting it refilled
with liquor bring it back to me and I
