TWO-YEAR-OLD IS MARVEL
Infant Prodigy in California
Reads and Tells the
Time.
Talks,
San Francisco. A tiny two-year-old
baby girl here holds the world's rec
ord in mental development.
The infant prodigy is Martha
Springer, twenty-six-months-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Springer
of Mountain View.
The child can read like an eight-year-old.
The father says the child
has a normal mind which simply lias
been developed by persistent training.
At a recent meeting of college pro
fessors and experts in pedagogy and
psychology the child for 40 minutes
read, counted and told the time by
the clock and talked with the men who
were observing her. Her baby brain
did not sag and she appeared to enjoy
the long interview.
All were unanimous in declaring that
the baby's case indicates that geniuses
are made, not born. The child reads
and speaks with a vocabulary of about
2,000 words. She is large for her age
and eats and sleeps well.

told relative to the American expedi

cooks at a camp in Franco lately had
a sudden windfall in the shape of an
unexpected ton of white flour. They
worked that flour for all it was
worth. Some of it went Into .braid,
more of it went into pies. And when
these appeared for use the reputation
of the cooks was made.

State Food Administrator Promul
gates Schedule for Retail Dealers
Charge is to Be Based on What the
Retailer Actually Had to Pay and
Not on Replacement Value
St. Albans The following profit
schedule for rt'tall dealers in wheat
mill feeds has been promulgated by
the United States Food Administra
tion for Vermont. At the ofhees of
the State Food Administration it was
pointed out that this schedule is the
maximum and does not justify charges
in any particular case In excess of
those customarily charged where low
er charges will insure a reasonable
profit.
The State1 Administration also made
it plain today that these profits are to)
be based upon what the feed actually
cost the retailer at the time of pur
chase' and that no retailer can base
his charge to the consumer on the
replacement value of the feed sold.
The schedule in effect in Vermont
is as follows:
Schedule for Retail Dealers In Wheat
Mill Feeds.
A retail dealer shall In no case
make more than a reasonable profit,
and in no case shall he charge more
for wheat mill feeds in original pack
nges than the margin prescribed be
low over the delivered cost to him
of the particular wheat mill feed
sold.
(1) Where one or more fanners
purchaso in advance of delivery In
full carloads, take delivery at car
and pay cash when retail dealer is
required to meet sight draft, $1.00
per ton, plus demurrage if any.
(2) Where one or more farmers
purchaso in advance of delivery in
full carloads, take delivery at car
and pay for It on delivery ,$1.50 per
ton, plus demurrage if any.
(3) Where farmer purchases and
takes delivery at car and pays for it
on delivery In ton lots or more, but
less than car lots $2.00- per ton.
(4) Where farmer purchases and
takes delivery at car and pays for It
on delivery in lots less than one ton
$2.50 per ton.
(5) Sale ex-warehouse in lots of
one ton or more $4.00 per ton.
(0) Sale ex-warehouse in lots of
less than one ton $5.00 per ton.
(7) $1.00 may be added to the
foregoing margins when sale is made
on credit, or at dealer's option the
legal rate of interest may be charged.
The United States Food Adminis
tration suggests that it may be prac
ticable to provide further that $1.00
be deducted from the margins, pre
scribed In 5 and G when the retailer
buys on credit and the jobber's mar
gin is thereby increased $1.00 a ton
by Special Feed Rule 7.

THE VERMONT PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMITTEE SAYS
Do your utmost to win the
war. "If any would not work,
neither should he eat."
If you are not taking an ac
tive part in winning this war,
do not ask for the rations of the
man who is. Either be self
supporting, or go without.
The business or, professional
man who will do what his con
science, under the stress of
present conditions, dictates, to
help the farmer harvest his
crops this season, will render a
service of incalculable value to
world wide humanity.
We are no longer too proud
to fight. Are you too proud to
work, when the women of all
classes of the allied nations of
Europe are toiling in the field
from daylight until dark?
Don't wait to see what some
other person is going to do. The
call ia to you personally. You
are answerable only for the po
sition you take.
Volunteer for this service to
day. Take the lead. Others
will surely follow.
Do not wait for the canvass
er to find you. You will find
him and if you fail in this, re
port to your county agent; but
be sure that your services are
placed at the disposal of some
one who needs them.
