which Mr. Met seer is doing. A six
months' campaign will be conducted, tak

aside for line bv boys, while the girls
work will be canning and care of food
stuffs. Miss Cobb will have direct Bupcr
vision of this.
To each boy or girl who enters into the
work of the canipaiun will be given a
metal badge making him or her a mem
ber of the Green Mountain Guard, and to
those who stay through the test will be
presented by Gov. 11, F. Graham and
C'ommiftsioner of Education M. B. Ilille

linhmenla of the season.
Mr. Metzger is lcaving.no stone un
turned to give every boy and girl in the
state a chunce to do something this year.
That this may be successfully carried
into effect it has been arranged that the
vouiifir people who cannot afford to buy
seed will have the same furnished them.
Already Mr. Metzger ham assurances of
enough seed potatoes for the planting,
while beans enough for planting have
been purchased. Other seed that may be
grown will probably be handled in tne
same manner.
District school superintendents in many
instances have agreed to do without a va
cation this summer that they help in
this great effort, helping the boys wher
ever they can do so. Many of the teach
ers in the public schools are already mak
ing plans to co-operate in the summer
months. Both are spending of their time

port that no expense will be needed from
the state to carry out the program which
is probably the biggest yet undertaken
by the safety committee.
Two of Vermont's thoughtful persons
have contributed specially towards the
plans. A man has given a sum of money
to be twed in mapping out the agricultur
al work of the committee while a woman
of means has given the money that Miss
L, M. Cobb, who has been in charge of the
domestic science in the schools of Jeffer
sonville, may take charge of the canning
of foods and fruits in the coming months.
Sums of money can be used for similar
purposes in other branch of the work.
Already the department has outgrown
its facilities, but this does not dampen
the ardor of those who are superintend
ing the movement and they will give the
bovs and ljirls of Vermont an opportu
nity in the coming months to show their
worth to the farmers of the state. It is
one of the biggest problems yet attempt
ed by the public safety committee and
already those in charge are commencing
to see result. As the new branches de
velop the problems deepen, but from Mr.
Metzger, whom "r. Iiillegas drafted to
direct the work among the boys and girls
they as well as their parents are getting
a great deal of valuable information.
It has come to the attention of the di
rector of food production and conserva
tion that the people at large throughout
Vermont arc not taking the food prodnc
tion as seriously w it really is at the
present time. This is one of the draw
backs those in charge have to overcome
and on which the director and his asso-
WARNS SHIPPING OF U-BOAT.
Notice Sent Broadcast After Attack on
Destroyer Smith.
Washington, April 19. Warning of
the probable presence of a German sub
marine off the Atlantic coast was sent
broadcast to all ships upon receipt at tho
nay department of the report from the
destroyer Smith, on patrol duty, that a
torpedo had crossed her bows during the
night.
No further word came from the Smith,
and navy officials, some of whom are
strongly inclined to the belief that the
destroyer's lookout was mistaken in hi
belief that he saw the wake of a tor

publicity. Speakers are being used when
available but the demand for these is
greater than the supply who understand
the situation. Bailies are being held and
other publicity given the work with prof
itable results.
Vermont stands out brighter than any
other state, for it was the first to realize
what was meant when the Xew England
colleges announced that certificates re
ceived relative to students who have giv
en their time this spring in food grow ing.
ing their co-operat ion.
From the educational department have
been sent as many as 2,400 letters in a
single day telling people in different parts
of the state what is being done. These
will increase as the season advances.
Practical results are what the depart
ment wants. Planting staple stuffs that
may be carried over to next year is urged.

Mrs. Dolly Blake of Bennington Was
Sitting on the Track.
Bennington, ApriU IS. Mrs. Dolly
Blake of the Fairview road was struck
by an incoming train of the Chatham
division of the Rutland railroad and
probably instantly killed yesterday. The.
woman was first seen by both engineer
and fireman when the train was only
fifty feet away, and, as there is a sharp
curve at that point, it was impossible
to stop the train in time, although the
wfhistle was blown twice. She was sit
ting on the track with her head in her
arms, apparently sound a!epp. The
train was brought to a standstill with
in two car lengths and the body, which
was badly mangled, was placed in the
baggage car and brought to the local
station.
There it was taken in charge by Wal
bridge and brought to his undertaking
rooms. The dead woman was seen earli
er in the forenoon by some workmen
walking along the track.
Mrs. Blake had been housekeeper at
the home of Martin Craven for the past
nine years or more. The only survivor
known of is a son, Ray McLean, who is
employed on the Cluett estate in Wib
liamntown. The engineer was E. S,
