buggy which was tied near the Je-

return TO the buggy preparatory to
his departure for home he found the
package missing, and just then he
noted a man carrying a package re-
sembling his. He started in pur-
suit OF the individual. but the latter
outwitted him. Having a pretty good
description OF the gentleman he Al

So, 100000 War Order for Yer
mont Concern.

The Robin Hood Ammunition COM
pany, Swanton, has been awarded a
81, 500, 900 contract for rifle cartridges
from one of the European nations now
engaged in war. The country in whose
behalf the order was placed as well as
destination of the cartridges is kept a
secret. 1t is understood that the goods
will be sent to New York and from that
city shipped to some South American
port to be reshipped to their ultimate
destination.
In order to handle this enormous
contract, the largest in amount ever
executed by the Swanton concern or
by any ammunition manufacturer in
the State, the Robin Hood company has
placed rush orders for about $3.50, 600
worth of new machinery. A large ad-
dition to the big working force already
employed will be engaged.
1t is understood that the plant will be
operated continuously, day and night,
with three shifts of employees for at
least year in order to get the pro-
duct out within the specified time.

WHOLESALE TER OF
GAME.

One hundred and fifty hunters divided
evenly, went out from jefferson, N. H.,
on two weeks hunt one side striving
to beat the other in the amount of game
slaughtered; and when they came to-
gether, at the end of two weeks, wagons
and other vehicles We're piled high with
the carcasses of many kinds of animals
and birds, ranging from bear and deer to
cartridges. Then they held jollifica-
ton over the exceedingly great amount
of wild life put out of existence, eating
and making merry that human strength
and ingenuity had so signally triumphed
were defenceless against man; and the
rs men whose aim had been the better
and who had succeeded in greater whole
sale slaughter than the other rs men
were crowned kings of the slaughter, a
designation to be theirs until the next
fall season comes around and all go
forth on their next contest-unless, per-
chance, some hand intervenes to prevent
such a shameless performance. An
event of this nature seems neither right
nor reasonable. We coincide with some
comment heard in Vermont now and
then that the practice ought not to be
continued, for there are places in Yer
mont where the annual war against ex-
istence is waged among wild life with

THE SUPPRESSION OF POISONOUS
ALCOHOL.

Wood alcohol, or methyl alcohol, or
Columbian spirits, is manufactured
largely as a cheap solvent for shellac
and other substance. 1t is very volatile
and exceedingly dangerous when it is
painted on surfaces, in confined space.
1t is injurious to the blood and heart and
very depressing and poisonous, produc-
ing death in a very short time when in
does not result, permanent blindness
from optic nerve atrophy usually occurs.
Seventeen cases of this kind were re-
ported from the State of New York
alone, during the past year. Wood
alcohol is used largely for vanishing
the interior of beer watts. Such watts
have a small vent hole in the bottom
and small manhole in the top, and no
other openings. The painters go inside
the watts and paint the interior with
shellac, containing wood alcohol. They
remain inside the vat for about twenty
minuter, as the fumes are so powerful
that they cannot remain any longer but
must come out and breathe some fresh
air To hasten their work they use
broad white-wash brushes which spread
the shellac quickly over large surfaces.
No effort is made to force fresh air into
the watts.
The use of expensive alcohol is not
necessary in the trades, even if wood
alcohol is abandoned. What is known as
denatured alcohol can be used, as it is
just as cheap as wood alcohol and is not
injurious. Such countries,as Germany
and England, etc, have long since
abandoned poisonous alcohol. Why not
the United States? Should the manu-
facture of this poison be continued, be-
cause some manufactui ers have millions
of dollars locked up in their factories?
Or, would it not be better to suppress
this kind of alcohol and compel them to
produce alcohol of a non-injurious
quality?

Grange Horse Show on School Grounds
In an Ohio Town.
A fine illustration of rural commu-
nifty enterprise is reported by George
b. jerks. lecturer of Beech grange,
Wilmington, o. 1t consisted of a
horse and colt show on the Osborne
school grounds. five miles west Of
Wilmington, Fayette county, o. Beech
Grove grange No. 1902 of that place
arranged the show with the view of
creating more interest In the locality
in better horses. The exhibit was
not merely a show of animals, but the
grange secured a competent judge in
Gilbert Gusler, instructor in animal
husbandry at Ohio Agricultural col
lege, to discuss the various horses and
colts shown and to give the reasons
for his decision.
So great was the appreciation Of
the benefits of this show among those
present that Beech grange is already
planning a bigger and more useful
show next year, with liberal premi-
ums. Beech grange Is new. but is
keenly alive to its opportunities for
service to its community and its men,
bers 1t deserves the membership
and support Of every farmers family
IN its locality. 1t is just such enter
prise as Beech grange has shown in
this horse show that improves home
community conditions above the av-
erage.

another bullet penetrated the visor of

These two incidents prove that life is
somewhat uncertain in Vermont during

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an editorial showing
what we Americans ought to be thank
full for in the present crisis. Following
is an extract:
"On our north lies Canada, a people
like ourselves, peaceful, friendly, no
less our fellows than are our brethren
of our sister States. We may well be
thankful for the fact that along the
great frontier from Maine to Puget
Sound we are in need of not single fort
or single soldier. No European
nation has such splendid neighbors as
are the Canadians to US. On the south
we have Mexico, turbulent, torn by
revolution, and often a veXatious neigh
Dor But we may well render thanks
that by patient forbearance we have put
aside the danger of embodiment in war
with Mexico. We pity the Mexican
people, and hope that they may set their
feet now on the ladder which leads up
ward to the level of peace and stabil-
ity and prosperity which we have
gained We should be glad that our
Government has so acted that we
are free from war with Mexico at this
time especially. Otherwise we should
be in greater danger than now of being
drawn into the awful vortex of the
world war. Were we now at war Mexico
might easily be encroached upon by
some of the warning nations. Mexico
might be able to make an alliance with
one of them. Our possessions in the
Pacific might he attacked. We should
thank God for peace with Mexico"

GRANGE ACTIVITIES.
Community Service Occupies the At
tention of Many Eastern Oranges.

tention of Many Eastern Oranges.
The lines of service for the grange
in its relation to the community where
in it is located are many. 1t is graft
flying to note that so many oranges
are cooperating with village and town
church and with other fraternal or
CARNATIONS in an endeavor to make
the community better place in which
to live and to further it's interests in
various ways. There are many in
stances of this sort of endeavor on the
part of the local oranges. a few of
which may here be cited:
One grange that was almost dormant
a year or two ago decided that activi-
ty was the best sign of life and so
turned its attention to things 1t might
do or assist in doing for the village
in which it was located. 1t raised 800
toward repairing the town hall and as
sisted in procuring furniture and fix
lures for a hall for general public use.
1t also contributed 500 to the hospital
in a neighboring town and made other
contributions of a minor nature to 9th
er worthy enterprises.
One of the most noteworthy forms OF
grange enterprise in the New England
states is the erection of public drink
ing fountains on the public squares of
the villages. These fountains become
a sort of monument to grange endeav-
or and constantly remind those who
see them that there is a grange in the
community and that it Is doing some
thing.
Perhaps one of the most commend
able forms which grange activities
may take is In the employment of a
public nurse for the community,
whose services are free to those who
may need them and who may be I'M
able to provide themselves with such
assistance. A notable instance of this
sort has been seen the past summer
in the work of nurse secured by the
Webster grange of New York state
by selling the most Red Cross seals
for the state board of charities. Lew
iston grange, which sold the second
largest number of the seals, had the
services of this visiting nurse for the
two months succeeding her work at
Webster. In Massachusetts q grange
gave play and turned over the pro-
ceeds Of its first presentation to the
support of a district nurse, and then
repeated the play and paid the ex-
penses for producing it out Of the Sec
ond nights performance. 1t was the
verdict of the community that the
grange had risen in the estimation Of
all the people of the community for
the practical service 1t had rendered
The true grange spirit was mani

grange. 1t was sowing the seeds of
kindness as well as the seeds of crops

of its real work must be done outside

HOW TO USE THE RED CROSS
SEALS.

Red Cross seals should in accord
ance with order No 1920 of the post
office department, "be affixed to the
reverse side of domestic mail matter,
and not on the address side of any let
tiers or packages that are going through
the mail. They may be placed any
where on matter going by express. AS
many seals may be used on the back of
letter or package as may be desired.
Care should be exercised in sending
merchandise through the mails not to
place seals over the strings with which
the package is tied since this seals the
package against inspection and subjects
it to first-class postage rates. Users of
Red Cross Seals are cautioned against
their discriminating use on foreign
mail Red Cross Seals in normal times
may be used on the reverse side of mail
matter sent to Austria, Germany,
Great Britain and most of the British
colonies, except India and Australia.
Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal re-
fuse to admit mail bearing non-postage
stamps. Certain European countries
will return to the sender any mail bear
ing Red Cross Seals on the address side.
Mail addressed to any of the belligerent
countries in Europe should not bear the
Red Cross Seal. Red Cross Seals may
be used on the face of checks, on bills,
on legal documents and on any CONNER
cial paper. These Christmas Seals are
not good for postage. They will not
carry any mai matter, but any kind of
mail matter will carry them;
