LIFT KIEL UNDER DAkIiH FLAG

Rio Janeiro June 19.-It is consid-
cred almost certain here that the
German raider which has been Great
ing havoc among entente shipping in
the South Atlantic is the Moewe, the
German armed raider which captured
the Appam and sunk numerous enten
te ships in Atlantic waters year ago.
The American consul at Pernam-
buco has cabled the embassy at Rio
Janeiro confirming the landing of
several Americans from vessels which
fell victim to the raider. He added
that no American ships had been sunk
by the German craft. and that all
the American sailors landed were men
from the crews of foreign vessels.
According to reports from an au-
thoritative source, the Moewe is un-
derstood to have sailed from Kiel
under the Danish flag. carrying a
cargo of hay on the bridge in order
to conceal her armament. When last
seen the Moewe was painted black.
with white markings. Her armament
included four torpedo tubes in serv-
ice, and several tubes in reserve. She
is believed to have carried a mine
laying apparatus.
The raider also carried large num-
ber of auxiliary plates, which would
permit her commander to change the
appearance of the bridge at will. In
addition she had collapsible tunnels.
The vessel. now believed to be the
Moewe, was repainted several times,
and under the last coat of paint We're
observed traces of the Danish flag
which had been painted on the hull.
AS yet there is no news of the
British steamer Yarrowdale, which.
under command OF German officers
was reported Wednesday to be pro-
ceeding for port with number of
the shipwrecked crews aboard. The
steamer Hudson Maru, which arrived
at Pernambuco with survivors aboard,
will remain there as a war prize un-
der the jurisdiction of the German
minister. The Brazilian naval au-
thorities consider the Hudson Maru a
German vessel.
Ii Is expected that the steamers
Drina and Samara, which were re-
ported to have fallen victims to the
German raider, will reach port at the
end of the week, coming from the
north. The Germans are circulating
fantastic reports, to which the
steamship companies and maritime
authorities give no credit.

About o'clock this morning Calvin
Williams, the negro lumberjack who
has been confined at the county jail
since November and who was indict-

The smoke filled the court building

the sheriff wife gave Williams a cold

OF Allied merchant ships by subma-

even the fixing of maximum rates on
coal transportation has failed to re-
lieve the coal shortage in France and
italy. Neutral vessels are refusing tc
carry coal from British ports to the

COUNTY FARM BUREAU
Officers Reelected at Meeting at Man
chester Depot Wednesday

At the annual meeting OF the Ben
nington County Farm Bureau, held at
Manchester Depot Wednesday, the Off
GERS of last year were reelected as
follows: James A. Leach, North Rn-
pert, president; John Fl. Dimond, Man
chester vice president; Ernest H.
West. Dorset. secretary; r. Ii. Purdy.
Manchester, treasurer.
Remarks were made by President
Leach and an address was given by
Mr.. Hitchcock of Pittsford, president
of the Rutland County Farm Bureau,
mad the treasurer made his annual re-
port.
Mr.. Leach mentioned the Dairy
mans league and n. K. M. p. A. which
if properly supported by the farmer
should mark better and more pros
porous time for the Dairy farmer. He
said the Farm Bureau was to promote
better agriculture in Bennington coun
ty, and would be realized largely in
proportion as the farmers of the coun-
ty took an interest in the work.
Mr.. Hitchcock. thinks of the Farm
Bureau, and County Agent as clean
ing house for Agricultural informa-
tion. A connecting link between the
farmer, the State college of Agricul-
ture, and u. S. Dept OF Agriculture
He emphasized the importance of far
mers of community getting together
at demonstration plots or meetings
and of discuss in problems with their
neighbors and the county agent. He
said the farmer should not expect too
much individual attention from the
county agent, whose far reaching
work should come by working in
groups.
Perhaps one of the weakest points
in the Farm Bureau work, as relat-
ed by Mr.. Hitchcock is the lack of
good local committee men, who will
devote enough time. to the work to
secure a representative membership.
and key the community in touch with
the work of the Farm Bureau. Also
the difficulty in getting these commit
tee men together in a common group
to help guide the work.
Mr.. Hitchcock believes like some
OF the rest OF us that too little bust
ness principals have been applied to
farming by the average farmer, and
that most OF the farmers should look
to more than one important source of
income from the farm.
The county agent in summarizing
the work of the mast season, discussed
the results of the various demonstra-
tions carried Oh 70 show the practica-
bility of grouping more valuable home
grown feeds for cur cattle, such as.
soy beans. alfalfa. clover and other
legumes.
The demonstration work carried on
in spraying. pruning and caring for
the orchard. clearly shows that much
better fruit can be prouced at a nom
inal cost. Andtwith proper care many
of the now practically unproftible or
chards, should be selling more ap-
pies as a good cash crop.
Treating oats for smuts, and also
spraying and combating insect pests
have been successfully carried on,
clearly demonstrating that more at
tention should have been given to this
work by farmers in the past.
The county agent is now taking q
number of farm records as means
of studying more accurately the farm
ers business and by comparison tests
should help to show the strong and
weak points in the farm business. on
any particular farm.

[continued From Page One.1

ending June 80, 1913, shows a tota! Of
$16,971, 414,291, of which about S9,250,-
100000 has been authorized by Con-
gress, and S7,75O,000,000 still is to be
voted.
For each of the 100000 families in
America this means an average of $3.50
in round figures, and for every man,
woman and child an average OF $l70.
What Is Uncle Sam buying with
these enormous sums?
The army is the biggest item, with
$2,684, 900 900 already appropriated and
s5.000.000.000 more equired-s3S4 %
from the average American family for
the army
Next comes the cost of loans to the
allies $3007 100000 already, including
the cost of printing the bonds, etc,
and $2,000,000 1000 to be provided.
This will amount in all to a loan
from each American family of S250.35
Of course, these loans are the debts of
our allies, but the money for them
must be raised.
The third item is the navy, which
has had s1,O34, 100000 and asks for
s1O0,00O,000 more--total $6176 per
family.
Merchant ships to the amount of
s4o5, 100000 already have been author
lied and S50O,OO0,000 more will be
asked-s45.25 per family.
Tidy Sum for Aviation.
Aviation has been voted $640, 100000
and the navy is asking for s45,O00,000
more-a little item of $34.25 per fam
lily.
For the expenses of Congress, the
executive departments and all sorts of
miscellaneous items mot including the
postoffice) there has been $516,000,000,
and they are coming up soon for SIG,
100000 more, including a nice little
item of S26,s93,000 river and harbor
pork an aggregate Of
1888 for the average family.
The postoffice has 1881, 100000 all
of which must come out of the pockets
of the nation in the form of postage

Pensions cost s160,OOO,0 O0-ss per
family.
The President has a lump sum of
s1OO,000,000 large part of which is
understood to have been spent for
ships--$5 per family.
Insurance Is Costly.
War risk insurance funds Of $45, 000,-
900 have been voted-$225 per FAM

What Women in Their
"FOrties" Need

Manw women approach the critical
changing period of their lives that
comes between the ages of forty and
fifty unmindful of its tremendous i'm
portance to their future health and
happiness. Not understanding the
functional changes taking place in
their bodies, they work beyond their
strength, often break down, become
nervous wrecks, their bodies suffer
ing with fatigue and their weakened
nerves trembling at every step. Often
in their weakened condition capillary
hemorrhage becomes excessive. this
added drain compelling them to take
to their beds from nervous exhaus-
ton.
What these women need is some
thing that will instantly relieve the
pressure on the overworked nerve
centers and give them the vitality to
stand up under the grueling strain.
Wonderfully effective results are CIV

simple use Of Mango Nerve Tablets,

Thousands of women can testify
that Mango Nerve Tablets strengthen
the jaded nerves. revive the tired
brain and put the energy and courage
into the body that enables one to
stand up under the unusual strain of
the changing period. Mango has to do
these things or it costs nothing as
