direction of the presidents and organizers
of the local leagues, consists of particle

distribution of cards calling meetings,
and take part in the meetings them

Perhaps the most interesting division

next Tuesday evening on Mrs. L. A.
Smiths lawn, although it is the best
open air company in America, is under
the auspices of the Barre Woman's club
and for the benefit of our children's
Anyone buying tickets can
feel assured that they are both receiving
and comforting benefit. They are not
only helping to carry on the Fairgrounds
by the Barre club women
and needing the support of all our citi-
zens, but they also are having an oppor-
tunity to hear and see Rostand's best
play given under what we believe to be
favorable conditions.
The actors are from the best the
affords and as Mr.. Janney, the
says, the place where the play
Is to be given is ideal in every respect.
We seem to have needed some one from
the great cities to open our eyes to our
Barre possibilities. Very few of our

addition of the unique scenery which
his company carries we are to see a

evening. The tickets are now on sale at

A Genius at Raising Corn and Pigs.

In the Interesting People" depart.
ment of the August American Magazine
appear picture and sketch of John
Honeycutt, who lives in Illinois, where
he is leader among farmers in the
business Of raising corn and hogs. He
is called the Pied Piper of Pigdom. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the article;
"a few years ago a disputatious blue
eyed printer named John Honeycutt inn
migrated from Chicago to Amboy, ILL.,,
little town 30 miles to the west.
From the very start the natives real
lied that this city person had ideas.
He did not want little farm, he want
ed a section-640 acres. He did not
want silo he did want machinery.
He did not want a threshing gang; he
wanted his own outfit He did not want
too many barns, and he did not want
a party telephone. He did want miles
Of stock yard fence, he did want pri-
vate wire to Amboy-so he built the
fence, and one morning before the coun-
ty commissioners were up he helped his
own gang of recruits start private wire
to the town five miles away. When he
came to plant his corn he persisted in
testing his seed. When he came to breed
hogs, instead OF one brood from one ami
NAL in one year he wanted three broods.
Often, too, he raised every little pig
that came, and when carload of them
were 275 days old and weighed 275
pounds he shipped them over the 90
miles to Chicago.
Not many months went by before
the native sons of Illinois began to look
upon John Honeycutt as an educational
institution that deserved watching.
They passed the word out that the city
person was genius at raising corn and
at raising, feeding and selling hogs,
And the buyers for the Chicago stock
yards passed the word out also. Thus, |
before long, through farm journals, John
Honeycutt came to be known far and
wide.
"The populace of the little town is
proud Of the deeds of her favored farm |
Or.
''The neighbors have learned too, that I

ar, is for a hog the way over the hills

cup of sour cream with the well beaten
whites OF two eggs. Stir this into the
vinegar with one tablespoonful of butter
and allow it to thicken. Season with
salt and pepper, pour over the cabbage
and stand it aside to cool.
Cucumber-An excellent salad is this:
On foundation of crisp leaves from a
lettuce heart arrange alternate layers of
sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, green pep
pers and onions and serve with French
dressing.
Fish-Cold boiled fish left over from
dinner the day before, makes delicious
salad. The fish should be free from any
cream dressing, picked carefully, mixed
with mayonnaise, Japanese or Italian
dressing, and served on lettuce leaves
with garnish Of olives and hard boiled
eggs cut into long, narrow sections.

HOW no Overcome sleeplessness

In the August Womans Home Com
panion William j. Cromie writes a most
practical and interesting article entitled
Every Girl Should now How to Stand,
Sleep and Walk" Following is his adj
vice as to how to overcome sleepless-
ness:
"To overcome sleeplessness you should
perform intense mental work during the
first part of the day, the evenings should
be devoted to uniform occupation in
uniform environment, and you should
be careful to take a sufficient amount
of muscular exercises. If the lungs are
crsmped by improper posture they fail
to get the proper amount of oxygen and
do not throw off the waste and poison
Gus matters they should. A warm
bath will often draw the blood TO the
surface of the body and thus bring
about sleep. Those who persist in going
over in their minds the affairs of the
day should sip cup of warm water
slowly or q glass Of warm milk

Training School for Women Labor Or
GAMERS.

With the coming of its first two
pupils, one from Kansas City and the
other from Baltimore, the training
school for organizers, recently estab.
lished in Chicago by the National Won
EMS Trade Union League, has begun work
in earnest. These two girls. both by a
coincidence connected with the brewing
industry, one in the bottling of beer and
the other in the making of corks for
such bottles, have come to receive a
three months training in the work of
organizing of girls and women. Both
these young women have had practical
experience in the labor movement, as
leaders in their respective trades. and
now seek training which win make that
experience more valuable.

Cold Feet.

Goodness of feet and limbs is almost
invariably an evidence of indigestion.
The GOODNESS is due not to the weakness
of the heart or feebleness of circulation,
as is generally supposed, but to the con-
traction of the small arteries, prevent
ing blood from entering the parts, says
Health. There is generally an irritation
of the abdominal sympathetic nerve cen
tiers which control the circulation of the
lower extremities. This difficulty is not
to be removed by exercise or by any
special application to the limbs, but by
removal of the causes of irritation. This
may be prolapsed stomach or chronic
Indigestion. Hot and cold foot baths
are valuable. These act not simply on
the feet and limbs, but by reflex action
effect benefcially the abdominal SYM
pathetic centers, which are in diseased
condition.

Salad Recipes.

Asparagus-Boi a bunch of asparagus
in unsalted water for 80 minutes; then
add teaspoonful of salt and cook until
tender, but not mushy, perhaps 10 or l5
minutes. Drain carefully, so as not to
break the stalks. Arrange on platter
and set in the ice box to cool. just be-
fore serving garnish the stalks just
above the tips with a chopped relish,
India or chutney. Cover the whole with
French dressing and serve Immediately.
Banana-Make a bed of crisp lettuce
leaves and cover lightly with mayon-
naise dressing. Allow half banana for
each person. Cut them into thin slices,
using silver knife. Allow a third as
many English walnuts or hickory nut
meats as you have banapas. Pass these
through grinder, mix lightly with the
bananas, and heap on the lettuce leaves
dressed with mayonnaise.
Mixed-Cut string beans, beets, cauli-
flower, potatoes and celery into small
dice. add few asparagus tops, bit of
onion chopped very fine, and cold boiled
peas If YOU have them. Pile on lettuce
leaves and servS with French dressing.
Peas or eauliflower that have been served
with a cream dressing are not eligible
for salad, and when the housewife wishes
10 save a few for the next days salad,
she will do well TO set them aside be-
fore making the cream dressing.
Cut firm, white. raw apples into dice
and the same quantity of celery. Mix
with mayonnaise dressing and serve at
once on a curly lettuce leaf or in apple
eups. To make the latter, with a sharp
knife remove all the center of bright
green or red apples and throw them into

rapidity of the exports growth during
the month is shown by the weekly
figures.
F'or. the week, of October 4-10, the
exports were S34,S90,0o0. In the fol-
lowing week. they decreased by &c.
000,000. but in the third week they
jumped to more than s3s,000,000, and
in the last week of the month they
reached a total of S45,900,000.
"The ten ports under consideration, u
said departments statement, "thus
show an export balance of about
S43 100000, while the business at the
remaining ports of the country will
probably bring the total export bal
ance to s60,000,O00."
1t is estimated that the total ex-
ports for the month will amount "a
s200,000,000, with imports of S140,-
000,6o0. If that proportion is main
tanned, October's exports will show
an increase over those of May, when
trade conditions abroad were prac-
-tically normal, of more than S35 ,000,-

Depal tment officials have estimated

That would be an increase of $44,-

dicating the tremendous extent of the

the sea highways were cleared and
war began to make its demands on
American mills and granaries, there

The department officials based their
estimates of October's exports on re-

be followed by the glittering parade
which will traverse the principal

Foreign Trade Expands.

New York, Nov. 6.-The rate at
which the foreign trade of the United
States is expanding is indicated by the
volume of export business from this
port, which is steadily increasing with
every week of the European war.
Activity of shoe manufacturing in
terests in particular reflect the insist
ent foreign demand.
To handle prospective contracts for
100000 pairs of shoes from the
French, the W. H. McElwain company
of Boston may decide to enlarge its
plant. At present the concern is
working at full speed on an order
for 100000 pairs from the French.
Another Boston firm, the. Endicott-
Johnson company, is also turning out
100000 pairs of shoes for the same
government. This company recently
required eighteen cars to transfer a
shipment of shoes for Greece to the
ocean liner.
How sudden has been the trans
! formation from state of practical
( inertia to one of feverish activity is
instanced by big footwear manu-
factory, which is now working at 125
per cent capacity, which necessitates
twenty-four hour run daily, as com
pared with 40 per cent before the war
Orders booked for export by New
England shoe firms are said to ag-
gregate 100000 pairs.
