CAR SHORTAGE
IN U. S. SERIOUS
Railway Expert Says the
Situation Grows
Worse
ARMY MAKES
HEAVY DEMANDS
'Movement of Supplies for
Camps Almost Im
possible i
Chicago, June 16. The country faces
one of the most serloue situations in
history as the result of an unprecedented
railroad car shortage, E. T. Howson of
the Railway Age Gazette said yesterday.
The car shortage of May was 145,449,
an increase of 652 over that of April 1,
'according to Mr. Howson. It was worse
i June 1, although figures are not avail
; able. The previous high shortage was
on Feb. 6, 1907, when it amounted to
137,847.
Howson pointed out that within a few
months the selective service army of
600,000 men will be established in its
cantonment camps,
"This will be equivalent to ten cities
having an unproductive population of
50,000 each," said Mr. Howson. "Upon
the railways will fall the task not only
of constantly supplying these camps
with food, but of first transporting ma
terials and equipment for their construc
tion. "This means that someone will have
to suffer through lack of transportation.
Of course fuel and food will be distribut
ed as usual, but the coarser commodities,
such as building materials, cannot be
moved."
Howson suggested two remedial meas
ures co-operation by shippers in "heav
ier loading" and co-operation by dealers
in unloading and "releasing" ears.
A SUCCESSFUL
MEDICINAL COMBINATION
and one 'that had long been needed and

great medicines supplement each other
in purifying and enriching the blood,

closed shop is inaugurated were report
ed to Chairman Penman and Gen. Ooe
thals of the United States shipping board
at a meeting here yesterday with ship
builders from all parts of the country,
To intimations that the ship yard own
ers would like the government to handl
the labor unions with the mailed first of
war, Denman replied emphatically:
"I think it would be asinine for us to
to start a labor controversy in Congress
at this time.
Denman also made it clear to the forty
hip builders in attendance that the cov
eminent at present has no intention of
operating merchant vessels.
"One ex-member of the shipping
board, said Denman, gave his approval
to a semi-socialistic scheme of govern
ment operation, but it is not the board's
plan."
Gen. Goethals asked all the ship build
ers to inform him of the number of ves
sels they can undertake to build at once
and to give their present basic costs of
labor and materials.
Puget sound ship yard men declared
jack of steel is keeping some of their
ship ways idle. Chairman Denman prom
ised the ships wrights that the govern
ment would do its utmost to see they
obtained the necessary steel at the earlt
est possible date. Pacific coast represen
tatives at the meeting, although their
yards are being operated under the open
shop plan, joined in the recommendation
of the easterners for some sort of gov
ernment labor control.

When Orange county court reconvenes
at Chelsea Monday afternoon interest
will center around the case of State vs.
Mrs. Anna Felon, who is charged with
murder in the first degree for alleged
complicity in causing the death of her
husband, Joseph felch, at Topsham on
the eve of Faster Sunday in April, 1916.
Not until Wednesday at the earliest will
battery of legal talent representing
the prosccutiw and the defense begin
to try the issue, as the painstaking task
of drawing a jury must be accomplished
first. To facilitate the work of select
ing 12 men who have the necessary
qualifications for jury duty in the pres
ent case an extra panel of 40 men from
the west side of the county has been
called to the county seat.
The trial of Mrs. Feleh is a sequel to
the case of Otis Williams, a Ivounar
farmhand, who was tried at the June
term of Orange county court in 1916,
convicted of murder in the first degree,
and sentenced to a life sentence in the
state prison at Windsor. Attorney Gen
eral II. G. Barber of Brattleboro, who
assisted in the prosecution of Williams,
and State's Attorney John C. Sherburne
of Randolph will appear for the state,
and Mrs. Felch is to be defended by At
torneys R. M. Harvey of Montpelier and
R. A. Hoar of Barre.
Since her arrest at Waits River in the
town of Topsham late in April of last
year Mrs. Felch has been a prisoner in
the county jail at Chelsea. Last Novem
ber she gave birth to a girl baby, who
has been her constant companion in the
long months leading up to the trial. Junt
now she is the central figure in the most
absorbing murder case in the annals of
Orange county, but she maintains re
markable composure in the face of the
ordeal confronting her and those who
know the woman say that she will not
break down, however trying the circum
stances of the state's case may be.
Joseph Felch, the man whom muTder
marked for a victim, met death in a
sugar house on the Felch farm in Waits
River on the night of Saturday, April 22,
1916. Sometime early in the evening he
had left the house, ostensibly bound for
the sugar house to spend a part of the
night boiling sap. Karly Sunday fore
noon his body was discovered in the sug
ar house. A bullet from a rifle had
caused his death and for the reason that
the rifle was found alongside his body it
was given out that it was a ease of sui
cide. State's Attorney F. C. Williams
of Bradford, however, did not agree with
the suicide theory and a determined in
vestigation, in which the findings- of the
state pathologist figured prominently,
strengthened the belief of the authorities
that Felch had been murdered.
The death of Joseph Felch, a man who
was held in high esteem by his townsmen
and other acquaintances, was followed
by a wave of revulsion wihch swept over
the entire east side of the county, rub-
lie sentiment demanded the most cau-
tious inquiry into the circumstances
leading up to the farmer's death, and
the state authorities were not found
wanting in the sincerity of their" purpose
to get at the bottom of the case. Soon
after Felch's funeral Otis Williams was
arrested and not long afterward a war
rant was served on Mrs. Felch.
Karly in June the grand jury indicted
both Williams and the Felch woman on
charges of murder in the first degree, but
before their report a development had
taken place which was to have a power
ful effect on the manner in which the
state proposed to conduct its case. It is
said that detectives were used advan
tageously by the state and when Wil
liams came to trial in the first days of
July the state sprung a confession
purporting to have been signed by him.
After a legal battle in which the state
forces were opposed bv Attvs. David
Conant of Bradford and S. C. Wilson of
Chelsea, the alleged confession was ad
mitted as evidence. In the statement
Williams was alleged to have sworn to
mproper relations with Mrs. Felch. He
further deposed, H was alleged, that the
pair had tried to poison the farmer by
putting morphine in his tea. Going fur
ther, Williams, according to the confes
sion introduced bv the state, declared
hat he accompanied Mrs. Felch to the
sugar house on the fateful night in April
and that the woman, after poking the
muzzle of his (Williams') rifle through
crack in the building, fired the shot
that killed her husband.
The admission of the alleged statement
by Williams seemed to have a paralyzing
fleet on the defense and after the state
rested counsel for the respondent occu
pied but a little time in putting in it4
evident. After a comparatively brief
period of deliberation the jury returned
verdict of guilty, as charged, but did
nt Secify capital punishment. Judge
Stanton, in imiHing a penalty on the
voting man, sentenced him to serve the
remainder of his natural life in the state
prison. Kxceptions had been taken by
e defense from time to time, but they
were neer carried to the mprcrae court.
At preent William Is doing time at
Windsor. He is described as a model
prisoner and appears to be reconciled to
his lot. Mr. ilhams. the girl wile
of the prisoner, has visited him occa
sionally since lat. July. She and her
infant child are living with relatives in
;roton.

Burlington, June 16. Vermont's big
duty begins on Monday, when the Ver
mont chapter, American Red Cross, be
gins its campaign to raise $200,000 of the
$100,000,000 war fund, authorized by
President Wilson, who is also the pres
ident of the Red Cross organization.
Every Red Cross branch is ready for
the work to begin. Many of Vermont's
prominent men and women will contrib
ute their time and their effort to bring
Vermont up to her allotment.
The following speaking engagements
have been made for next week:

Mrs. E. C. Smith, president of the St.

appointed a committee of twenty to
canvass for the war fund and this com

ters that she exports good results.
Rhode Island promises $1,000,000 as
her contribution and gXKl judges state
that if Rhode Island can put across one
million, Vermont can certainly raise
raise $200,000.
Harold W. Slocum, director of war
fund campaign in this city, made the
following statement yesterday:
"The big necessity of the present is
to finance the Red Cross s liberally
as to give it the chance to step into the
gap and do a grand work of upbuilding
and inspiring our allies while our sol
diers are being mobilized and trained.
"And doing this we are not merely
rendering moral encouragement, but ac
tual physical help U the fighting armies
of France. We are taking from the
shoulders of an overburdened nation the
task of helping three unfortunates. Thus
we are increasing the man power of
France at the very time when this
counts most. We plan to take these
helpless thousands back from the fringe
of the armies and set them up in life
so they can help themselves.
"This is not charity. Don't let any
body get that idea for a moment. It
is debt paying. We owe all that and
vastly more to the France .that has
poured out her blood for us. It is the
least we can do while our armies of
fighting men are getting ready to serve
in the trenches.
"A tremendous Russian problem con
fronts the Red Cross. We have a debt
to par to Russia as well as to France.
The situation s regards amelioration
of suffering on the long Russian battle
line is deplorable. On the whole 1,000
miles of front there are only 6.000 am
bulances, whereas, in France, on a front
of 400 miles, there are 63,000 ambulances.
Succor must be rushed to Russia. There
are problems of encouragement and of
material aid confronting us there as
great in their way as await us in France.
We mut be up ami doing, all of us, ev
ery single American. One thought is to
go to Russia with as much relief as we
can assemble. The heartening problem
is very pressing there, as the whole coun
try must understand by this time. It
is especially necessary now that Russia
is in the throes of revolutionary after
math. I am firmly convinced that the
Russian democracy can be relied on to
keep its head, to maintain what it has
snatched from autocracy, but it must
be helped, and helped quickly."
The campaign begins all over ermont

A GOOD FRIEND
Vegetables Can Be Preserved by Fermen
tationThe Department of Agri
culture Describes a Method
Widely Used Abroad.
The fermentation method widely used
abroad in preserving string beans, beets,
cabbage, cucumbers and other succulent
garden crops, is described in a notice
just issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Sauerkraut and pickles put up in this
way are fairly well known in this coun
try but comparatively few persons havej
uioiigiii, 01 trying it, as a fiouscrioM
measure for preserving these and other
vegetables. Those who like acid food
and who have too few canning contain
ers to hold their surplus products may
find this method useful. The following
description of this method of ferment
ing vegetables is prepared by one of the
bacteriologists in the bureau of chemis
try who has been experimenting with
this process.
Ihe vegetables are not cooked but
are put down in a salt brine in any mm-
metal water-tight container and are
scaled up with paiaflin and otherwise
air-tight. Under this treatment lactic
acid will develop and this acid, the val
ue of whfch as find has been recognized,
acts as a preservative. Whether Amer
icans will develop a taste for such fer
mented foods highly prized in Europe,
is open to question, but the investigat
or believes that many will find the pro
cess well worth trying.
To Preserve Cucumbers.
Wash the fruit if necessary and pack
into a clean, water-tight barrel, keg, or
crock. On the bottom of the barrel place
a layer of dill weed and a handful of
nnxed spice. Add another layer of dill
and another handful of spices when the
barrel is half full and when most full
add a third laver. If a keg or crock
is used, the amount of dill and spice can
be reduced in proportion to the size of
the receptacle. When the container has
been filled within a few inches of the
top, add a layer of covering material
beet tops or grape leaves about an inch
thick. If anv spoilage should occur on
the surface, this layer will protect the
vegetables beneath. Press down with a
clean board weighted with bricks or
stone. Do not use limestone or sandstone.
Make a brine bv adding one pound of
salt to 10 quarts of water. To each
10 quarts ot brine so made add two-
third of a quart of vinegar. The vine
gar is used primarily to keep down the
growth of injurious bacteria, until the
lactic acid ferment starts, but it also
adds to the flavor. Add sufficient brine
to cover the material and allow to stand
24 hours. Then make air-tight, as de
scribed below. The time necessary for
complete fermentation to occur depends
upon the temperature. In a warm place
only five days to a week may be neces
sary, in a cool cellar three to four weeks.
Beets and String Beans.
The strings should be removed from
string beans before thev are put up.
Beets, of course, require careful washing
to remove all dirt before brining. If
it is desired, when finally the beets or
string beans are to be eaten, to wash out
the brine, and serve them as fresh veg
etables, the addition of spice when they
are put up is not necessary. Proceed as
with cucumbers.
Make the Containers Air-Tight.
There always will be more or less
bubbling and foaming of the brine dur
fng the first stages of fermentation. Aft
er this cease a thin film will appear
which will spread rapidly over the whole
surface and develop quickly into a heavy,
folded membrane. This scum is a growth
of yeast-like organism which feed upon
the acid formed by fermentation. If
allowed to grow undisturbed it will even
tually destroy all the acid and the fer
mented material will spoil. To prevent
this scum from forming it is necessary
to exclude the air from the surface of
the brine. This should be done by either
of two methods, 24 hours after the veg
etables have been packed.
Perhaps the best method is to cover
M10 surface over the board and around
the weight. with very hot, melted, par
affin. If the paraffin is aufiiciently hot
to make the brine boil when poured
upon it, the paraffin wilj form a smooth,
even layer before hardening. Upon so
lidifying, it effects an air-tight seal.
Oils, such as cottonseed oil or the taste
less liquid petroleum, may be used for
this purpose. As a measure of safety
with crocks, it is advisable to cover the
top with a cloth soaked in melted paraf
fin. Put the cover in place before the
parpfiin hardens.
The second method, w hich may he used
with barrels or kegs, is to pack the
container as full as possible and then
replace the head. In using this method
for feraientation of beets, cucumbers, or
string beans, add the board and weights
as described above and allow to stand
for 24 hours before heading. During this
period most of the gas first formed es
capes and the container then may be
headed up tight, first removing the ooarj
and weights. Then bore an inch hole in
the head and fill the barrel with brine,
allowing no eir space. Allow bubbles to
escape. Add more brine if possible, and
plug the vent tight. If the barrel does

not leak, fermented products put up in
this manner will keep indefintely.
After sealing with paraffin the con
tainers should be set where they will not
be disturbed until the contents are to be
used. Any attempt to remove them
lrom one place to another may break
tiie paraffin seal and necessitate resell
ing. If the containers are not opened
until cold winter weather, the vegetables
should keep without spoilage until they
re used up. If opened in warm weath
er they are likely to spoil quite rapidly
unless the paraffin is reheated and the
container rescaled immediately. In the
case of cucumbers and chayotes, it is
preferable, if no material is available,
to use the method of packing in kegs
or barrels as described above.
Only those vegetables which cannot be
kept by storing or early ones that are
not available later in the season, should
bo preserved. Late baets, for example,
can be better kept in the cellar.
The method of putting up cabbage by
fermentation has a number of advan
tages over the present process of making
sauerkraut and will be described in a
later article.

method is now available for distribution

Some Tips to Alfalfa Growers.
In the June Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
"Many growers of alfalfa used to fig
ure on marketing their entire output in
the form of hay, but the passing years
have proved the folly of this plan, for
the rains would come and catch ' the
grower with a lot of hay in the swath.
Cut alfalfa that has been rained on will
seldom make No. 1 hay. To-day, on
many big hay farms, the owner is feeding
a large portion of his lower grade hay to
beef or dairy stock, and is realizing more,
money from the cheaper hay he feeds
than from the choice or Xo. 1 grades
that lie ships to market.
"The seed crop is another item in al
falfa growing that is receiving more at
tention here in Oklahoma than formerly,
when most growers were raising hay for
market only. At that time the threshed
hay from a seed crop was considered al
most a. total loss. Threshed hay, as a
rule, will not bring enough to pay mar
keting expenses. When saving a seed
crop the grower is certain . to lose two
cuttings of hay, but with seed at prevail
ing prices, and a bunch of young stock
to eat the threshed hay, a seed crop is
surely a mortgage lifter.
"One cannot produce and market a ton
of alfalfa hay for less than $4 and real
ize a profit. Experience proves to me
that the actual cash outlay necessary in
marketing a ton of hay from our fields
under favorable conditions, is $3. This
accounts for labor only; interest and
taxes are not considered, and we are only
three miles from our shipping point."
