Rutland, August 10. Henry Jen-
nings, agent of the Rutland county farm
bureau, while driving Metz roadster
near Middleton Springs Saturday mar
rowly escaped injury when the car be-
came unmanageable and went into the
ditch, turning on its side. Mr.. Jennings
was alone when the accident happened
and jumped as the car left the road
which probably saved him from being
injured. He said that the accident was
caused by the slipping of the clip car
which released the axle from the body
of the car, throwing it into the ditch.
The car was towed into Rutland late
Saturday afternoon. The front of the
machine was badly damaged.

FOOD PRICES AND THE WAR.

If merchants in the Eastern Stat IS
are making an excuse of the war to
charge higher prices for food, they will
perhaps be made later to listen to some
elemental truths by having stock left
unsold upon their hands.
War produces at the same time
famine in market lands and gut in pro-
ducing land+. Food is counterband. 1t
can be shipped to England or France
only if the sea is successfully patrolled,
and at buyers risk. 1t cannot be
shipped to Germany at all, and German
cities already feel the pinch of want.
1t is the price they pay for permitting
an autocrat to make war over their
heads.
Railroads refuse to bring food here
for export. 1t is clogged somewhere,
waiting for peace. Imported groceries
and supplies, German beers, French
wines and like commodities may for 8
time sell higher, and legitimately so
the stock once exhausted cannot al
present be replenished. But no food:
raised on American soil have any reason
for showing scarcity prices unless tha
reason existed two weeks ago.
Later, when an impoverished worlt
takes up the task of paying for wantor
destruction, it may be different; bu

FEAR ROOSEVELT AS CAM

Theodore Roosevelt has become the
most important factor in the national

who are not scared are conducting their
political operations with one eye on the
