There is some talk among the
Democrats of running Wilson for a
third term. Well, the Democrats
couldn't do better. And the question
among Republicans will be, "Who can
beat Wilson?"
He is a poor sort of a patriot who
cannot find some way to economize in
order that he may buy War Savings
stamps, and in so doing give the gov
ernment more money, labor and ma
terials with which to fight the war.
When one of our soldier or sailor
boys makes the supreme sacrifice we
say he died doing his duty. When
one of us over here buys an interest
bearing government security we want
to be called a patriot. Let's buy War
Savings stamps to help our country
and not to be glorified.
The severe frost of last week seems
little short of a calamity. Its ravag
es have 'greatly damaged if not en
tirely destroyed many acres of need
ed food crops, set at naught much
hard labor, and represents a great,
monetary loss, all war essentials of
the first order. But this is no time
to turn back or become faint hearted.
There is victory to be won.
This paper is still of the opinion
that this is no time to foist a uni
versal military training law upon
America. We have all the law that
is needed for training during this war
and at its close if Germany wins we
shall have a Prussian military law.
If we win the peace for which we are
fighting, the terms of that peace
ought to make universal military
training in this country and in the
world, unnecessary. x
There appears to be great activity
in the lumber business. Two new
Vermont lumber companies recently
filed articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state, each with a
$50,000 capital, and there are indica
tions of other large activities along
this line. With the present demand
for all kinds cf lumber by the gov
ernment and the probable building
boom following the war, it is evident
the lumber interests have years of
unprecedented demand for their prod
uct ahead.
More than 800 penalties for viola
tion of rules and regulations govern
ing licensed dealers in foodstuffs have
been imposed during the past ten
months by the food administration.
About 150 companies and individuals
have been ordered to quit business in
licenced commodities for a limited or
unlimited period, and over 500 have
voluntarily made a money payment,
usually to the Red Cross, or have
temporarily abstained from doing
business rather than risk calling
down more drastic penalties.
The Kansas plan of harvesting may
be adopted in Vermont to some de
gree. There, the agricultural de
partment estimates, 100,000 men
from the villages and cities are in the
fields helping for a short season to
harvest the crops. Among them are
bankers, office clerks, merchants,
professors and tradesmen of all
kinds. Such help i3 essential to the
proper harvesting of our hay crop
here in Vermont now and the ques
tion is, will our villagers volunteer a
few days' or a week's service?
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Stone and Brooks Mentioned. -
The names of Mason S. Stone of
Montpelier and Frank H., Brooks of
St. Johnsbury have been mentioned in
connection with the office of lieuten
ant governor by some editors, who
seem to think there is popular inter
est in state politics at this time.

Remember the Farmer's Wife.
The farmer's wife is bound to need
help this summer as much as the far
mer if she is going to take care of
her children, cook for harvest hands,
help in the fields, cultivate a vege
table garden, wash and iron for a big
family and do the weekly mending,
besides attending to some other trivi
al duties like looking after the hens,
and carrying the milk to the cream
ery or making butter. Therefore the
city cousin who comes to the farm
for a long vacation or a week-end
ought, for humanity's sake, to leave
her furbelows behind and pack only
plain gingham dresses and business
like aprons. Furthermore she should
exert herself enough in the hot kitch
en to make it possible for her hostess
to bear her company every day on
the cool front piazza; then her visit
will be regarded as a mark of divine
favor instead of an added affliction.
Springfield Reporter.
The Vicissitudes of War.
God grant that Private Allen R.
Moore of Fitzdale, Vt., be finally
spared! Having lost his brother in
battle, having himself been reported
dead, only to have it revealed that
he was gassed rather than killed, he
now is reported among the wounded.
The vicissitudes of war have been
following this young man rather
closely during the last few months.
The definite news secured through
the American Red Cross that Earl
C. Rodgers of Danville and William
R. Hier of Bristol, two American
soldiers, who some time ago were
reported as missing in action, are
in German prison camps will come as
a relief to their relatives and friends
who were fearful lest the first report
meant that the men were dead. There
is, therefore, a good chance that the
men will be restored to their loved
ones, but at a time which is most un
certain. Barre Times.
Plenty of East Side Timber.
"Talking with the "solid fellows po
litically one finds that Hon. Freder
ick II. Babbitt of Bellows Falls is
prominently mentioned for lieutenant
governor. There are a good many
who would like to see his business
energy and experience in state affairs
on tap at the state house. He has all
the qualities to go with this very im
portant branch of the state govern
ment. As far as we know he has
given no indication of any desire to
get into the game this year. Per
haps this may be the very reason
why the boys who are talking want
him." Northfield News.
The east side is not without strong
timber for the office of lieutenant
governor. Along with Mr. Babbitt
the name of James Hartness of
Sprirfield has been mentioned.
Either Mr. Babbitt or Mr. Hartness
would beyond question fill the bill.
The Springfield man is one of the
very strongest from the standpoint of
ability in the state, and there is no
position to which he might be called
by the voters of the commonwealth
that would be beyond his capacity.

Vermont's Fuel Outlook.
State Fuel Administrator H. J. M.
Jones has sounded a warning which
all of us here in Vermont should heed
We consumed 415,000 tons of coal in
1916 and 440,000 tons in 1917, figur
ing the year as ending April 1, 1918.
We started this year with no accumu
lated stock on hand and our allot
ment for the coming year is 364,000
tons. Some local agents, who antici
pated trouble, by early, and strenuous
efforts, succeeded in getting for their
particular localities more than a nor
mal supply in the past two years, but
with the strict government regulation
this will be impossible in the immedi
ate future. There is sure to be a
shortage of coal in this state next
winter, even if the weather conditions
are favorable. Vermonters- have a
reat advantage over people in many
other parts of the country as we have
close at hand large supplies of wood.
Mr. Jones advises every town to open
a municipal woodyard. This advice
is timely and should be heeded. To
get the wood, however, it is neces
sary to have plans made at once.
Wood cut late in the fall will not
make very desirable fuel. The time
to cut wood for use next winter is
now. Brattleboro Reformer.

THE NO WHEAT PLEDGE
Is Individual and Binding Only on
Individual Who Signs it
Montpelier, June . "It may not
be out of place to point out that the
no wheat pledges which food admin
istration agents are presenting to the
people of Vermont are individual
pledges solely," says a statement ju3t
issued from the offices of Frink H.
Brooks, Unitf'1. States food adminis
trator for V: mont.
"In some instances," the statement
continues, "it has come to our at
tention that some housewives have
felt t" -;t if they signed they would
be plcdjicc V.. '-o!o fctfV to
a course, which they could not do
because of the presence of children
or invalids in the family.
"This is a wrong impression. The
pledges are individual, and only
those who sign are affected. It is a
voluntary enlistment in the conserva
tion army by the individual to save
wheat to the limit. Those who can
go without wheat should do so, and
all others should decrease their con
sumption to the minimum.
"Some members of a family ra'.y
be on a no wheat pledge whiJe oth
ers, for good reasons, may not be.
Dut all who can should be. The
pledge ia a simple one declaring that
wheat product until the time of the
the signer will not consume any
new harvest. Those who c?.n and
will take the pledge will have their
names inscribed on the honor roll
at the state hcuse.
"The food admirist ration for Ver
mont is already much gratified by
the splerdid co-operation it h?.s re
ceived from the general publ'c and'
It mav bo said that wheat flonr con
sumption in this state is only about
30 per cent, of the normal pre-war
consumption.
"This means that the people of
Vermont have seen their duty anr!
have responded to the call. Some
can do more, .and thopp whrse eir
cumstancer, nerrait should po without
wheat entirely until the new harvest
that there may still be wheat enough
to ship to our Allies and for those at
home who for good reasons must
still depend upon wheat as the main
stay of their diet."
MUST CONTINUE TO SAVE FOOD
New Federal Food Administrator for
Vermont, Frank H. Brooks, Out
lines His Policy Asks Co-operation
of the Public.
People Must Act as Police Force
Points Out Anew Great Necessity
of Conservation.
Montpelier, June . Hon Frank
EI. Brooks, the recently appointed
United States food administrator for
Vermont, has issued the following
statement to the public outlining the
policy of the food administration in
this state:
The food administrator wishes to
emphasize a most hearty expression
of appreciation, 'first to the people of
Vermont for the splendid results ob
tained in co-operation with the food
administration officials, and next to
his predecessors, Messrs. Hartness
md Cushing and the entire working
force of officials, county. and
town committees for the unflagging
zeal and patriotic effort required to
3ave and produce food to win the
war.
Your food administrator will. I am
pure, never be obliged to exercise a
drastic power of control ovrt- the
palates of the people of Vermont. It
will not be a case of must, but a
willing giving up on the rart of all
that we may have the future of ovr
lives, liberty, and the honest pursuit
of happiness safeguarded from Inva
sion of every kind.
Just back from a two dav arid
night session of the state food ad
ministrators of the country with our
chief, Mr. Herbert Hoover, it seem3
an opportune time to br'ng to the
attention cf the loyal and brave men
and women, boys and girls of Var
ment, certain lines of action that will
prove them not alone civilians, but
soldiers of the third line of defense
a line jut as important as tho
first line. We are thos-o who back
them at the front. Without firm
backing, the first line will surely
fail.
The slogan "Food will win-the
war" rests on a pounder basis to
day than ever. Ships, aeroplanes,
money, men, morale will win, but
tbpse all must be backed by a bounti
ful supply of food or they will fail.
The prosram outlined , at Washing
ton for the food administrators to
work "out follows:
1. Continuance of the 50-50 plan in
the use of wheat and substitutes.
Z. utrnost effort to save sugar, meats
ad fats.
3. Elimination of waste of foods of
all kinds.
The more general practice of pub
' lishing fair price lists of all food
commodities.
5. The prevention of any profiteering
advance in ice and other commodi
ties beyond what can be Justified
by increased cost over pre-war
period.
i. War gardens and largely increased
production of all foods, hogs, cattle,
poultry, dairy products, etc.
A short statement concerning each
of these six Important items may
not be out of order.
The. so-called use of substitutes for
wheat should be strenuously adhered
to. Substitutes have produced re
sults that, had these results been
lacking, it might have caused a break
in the line of food supply ships to
France. This might have resulted
in a disastrous break in the civilian
and army lines abroad. Substitutes
are good for most persons. On a
1917 crop shortage in surplus of
about 30 million bushels for our own
use, substitutes have made possible a
shipment abroad of about 166 million
bushels of the all essential wheat
out of what we would have disposed
of, had It not been for these substi
tutes. With the approaching wheat
crop giving promise of bumper pro
portions, the natural tendency will
be to "say: "We can have all the
wheat we wish." Not so. The one
imperative stern obligation and the
one SURE THING that we owe our
boys over there and our allies is to
build up so large a reserve of wheat
that never aga'n will the. failure of
our cause be endangered by lack of
food as came near being the case
this spring, and surely would have
resulted had we not given our pre
cious wheat. No banking institution
would or could do business without a
reserve. No more can the allied
huge grain reserve to guard against
a lean year or two that probably will
occur before this war is won for a
conclusive .peace. Let us all continue
the use of substitutes to help win
the war.
fUOAR.
The supply of sugar requires that
we use just as little as possible. Su
car must be bought in x, pound
lots or under the card system.
Householders by signing a sugar cer
tificate can get sugar for canning and
preserving uses. The situation is
that, in the case of sugar, it is not
o much a matter of essential and
con-essential industries. It is abso
lutely an effort to provide enough
sugar for the harvest, i. e., to can
and preserve so that the products of
the summer season will be saved. If
there is sugar enough for this and
the domestic supplv. it will then be
necessary to provide for essentials
Js against non-essentials -like soda
fountains, candy, etc. As regards ice
;ream, this is in the 100 class in
'hat it helps the disposition and pres
ervation of dairy products as
jgainst sherbet and soda water,
rhlch must he put -'n the non-essen-f.ial
class with candy.
If you wish the Allies success, save
sugar.
ELIMINATION OF ALL WASTE.
Th's goes without saying. Yet
srast.e is the great sin of America,
whether it be food, money or a thou
sand and one tlrngr? that we use. If
the le-sons of this war are success
fully learned, our nople will win a
jreat victory, v.v.a at no point a great
er one than, m eliminating waste and
substituting frugality, thrift and
sconomy In all our ways.
PRICE LISTS.
The food administrator will en
ieavor to have published more sys
tematically price lists giving to the
public a list of fair prices which the
purchasing public should pay for va
rious articles of food. If prices at
variance with this list are being
marged, the administrator urgently
isks that the public be a police force
to report at once to the local food
idministrator the prices that vary
with the published price list. The
sole purpose of the Food Administra
tion having been called Into existence
:s that it may ask, and it may act in
iefense of, the public to help cut
mt unfair practices and so-called
profiteering.
The logical sequence is that the
public, must act as a co-operative or
police force, and promptly notify the
ocal members of the food adminis
tration of unfair practices that come
to their knowledge through purchas
ing or otherwise. This all leads to
the subject of undue advance in
prices of any commodity in any com
munity. Take the ice problem. There
is a tendency just now to unduly ad
vance the price of ice. Ice in the
summer is cne of the greatest pre
servers of food necessities that we
jse. Profiteering in this essential
should not be allowed.
What is profiteering? It is an ad
vance in price beyond the pre-war
period that is not justified by the in
creased cost since the war besran. If
the cot advances to the profiteering
point in any commodity, the public
shou'd notify promptly the local food
idministrator and an investigation
will be made.
INCREASED PRODUCTION OF
FOOD SUPPLIES.
A year ago, Vermont tackled this
subject with zeal and splendid re
sults followed. If it was necessaT
then, it is much more so now. When
thousands and millions of mn are
taken from the producing to the de
stroying ranks, everybody left has
rot to strive to the utmost to keep
the food supply ships moving in con
stant line to those who must be fed.
Let the men and women, boy3 and
girls real-"ze the sacrifice made for
them in France, England and Italy,
not only on the battlefield but as
women by the hundreds and thou
sands work in munition plants, on
the farms, at the plough and on
their knees. Then let all respond
and not only save food, but produce
it, In war gardens, by pig clubs, on
the farm everywhere let the never
ceasing slogan be
"SAVE AND PRODUCE FOOD".
Remember, now that bumper crops
are coming in, that they are ours
not for our prodigal extravagant use
In peace, but to save, that a huge
reserve may be built up for a war
not only agnlnst waste, oppression
and the diabolical Hun, but against
a day when our year of plenty may
turn to a lean year or two.
Like the far-sighted Joseph of old
we will then have a reservoir with
which to save a hungry world. We
will also brine to a triumphant con
clusion our holy war because we
have been foresighted enough to
produce the one sure foundation for
a successful war. without which.no
povpr Can wm f00(j jn abundance.
With the above statement, the
Vermont Food Administrator close?
with a series of questions which -we
may well ask of our Country, whih
has given u all that we have. The
answer to these questions will de
termine the amount that we stan
ready to do for that Country, whether
it b the saving of food or othe
patriotic service.:
