We Have Called Mabel In.

The colyumist of The Barre Times has
this to say:
1--WE thought the silly season ended
until it was reported that purchasers OF
court plaster from crippled peddleI
who passed through Randolph few
weeks ago were burning the adhesive
sheets on the strength of a rumor that
the vender was German spy seeking
to spread virulent germs through the
medium of the plaster. Mabel Syrup.
You're wrong, Mabel. Whatever the
reason for destroying the peddled plaster
folks will be better off without it. AS
the Herald has already noted, the
chances of this materials having been
deliberately infected are very remote,
but the chances of its being clean and
sterile are similarly remote.
By the way, Mabel ought to read her
own paper, The above appeared on Sat
urday, while on Friday, the editor--con-
scientious chap-said sagely:
at goes without saying that plasters
of this nature when applied to wounds
become agents of communication to the
bodies of the persons to Who the plas-
tiers are applied. Briefly, that is the al
legged plot to attack the people of the
United States. 1t is thought almost too
devilish to be true; but the people of
the. United States would certainly be
on the safe side by refusing to deal
with people of this sort who are so anx-
ious to unload their goods. The better
way is to trade with home merchants
and get reliable goods"
There seems to be need of a get-to-
yether movement in The Times Office

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.

The date for the annual meeting Of
} the Orange County Farmers association
has been set for Aug % at Chelsea
For speakers, the officers have secured
Mr.. Richard Pattee, secretary of the
New England Milk Producers associa-
ton, and Dean j. L. Hills of Vermont
experiment station. These speakers,
with tn regular business of the annual
meeting, should make this one Of
the most important ever held in this
county. The officers believe that If you
are able to attend but one meeting of
this nature this year, that this is the
one to plan to 60 to. II is not too early
to make plans now to take an auto load

The county agent has supply of alfal-
| fla incubation on hand now and wishes
all who want some TO let him know at
once Also now is the time to put in
plots of alfalfa to get the best results
according to the demonstration plots
started last year. Waiting until into
August is dangerous practice and with
an average winter pretty sure to bring
failure.
Remember that the rapidly growing
corn is sending its roots out between
the rows and that deep cultivation at
this time will injure your chances of
successful crop. / note on few fields
the use of the horseshoe to cover the
weeds seems to be big labor saver
and quite successful in setting back the
weeds.
If you still lack help for haying or
future harvests, the county agent has
names of several who are looking for
work. These men are from the city,
some with experience and some without.
The application cards of several look
as though they would prove satisfactory |
help. If interested, write me at once.
Several fields of beans are showing |
a peculiar disease which seems to yellow |
the leaves, stunt the growth and give |
the whole plant weak appearance. Adj

may come through, but the chances are
against good crop. Anthracnose, a
fungous trouble which causes leaf spot
and sometimes attacks the stems, kill
ing the plant, is more liable TO injnre
such plants. The lesson is to select coed
this year from healthy fields for another
years crop.

A Thankless Task.

Perhaps within the week will come the
announcement from Washington that the
officials of the war department have se-
lected the men who are to compose the
| first draft for the national army. 1t is
likely that the newspapers will be the
| first to receive word of the serial num-
bers" drawn by the provost marshal in
the carrying out of the operation of the
selective CONSUMPTION act. The publica-
ton of these serial numbers" win break
the news to over nine million men wheth-
er they have been drafted. This will be
the only way that the registrants can
learn whether they have been selected
for military service unless they 60 to
the headquarters of exemption boards
and ascertain the numbers drawn in the
first draft.
With the announcing from Washington
that the first selection has been made
under the new law, there will come one
of the most thankless tasks connected
with the creation of an army-the ex-
emption from service of those entitled
to exemption.
Who is entitled to exemptionf This
question must be decided in hundreds of
thousands of cases. The appeal of Al
mother, of wife with little ones, of a
sister, must be listened to by the exemp-
ton board. There comes the question
whether a conscript is not worth more
to his country as workman on a lathe |
France. The exemption board is to de-
eide.
In the conscript physically fit to stand
the probable results of months of serv-
ice in the trenches? Would it not be bet
ter for the service to exempt the broad
shouldered giant who is an expert in
farming and send his neighbor who has
dependents These are but few of hun
dreds of questions which will face the
exemption boards.
There will come political, social and
business influences to save some from
service. There viii be attempts at Chi
,anery The malingerer is sure to be dis.
covered. The exemption boards in up
wards of 1900 districts must pass upon
very case presented.
The sending of our own flesh and blood
beyond the seas to fight requires patriot
SIN, nerve and courage. Upon the ex-
mption boards devolves the highly ju-
icial task of selecting the men who
must defend the colors. There are bound
o come complaints of favoritism and of
'oor Judgment in the matter of exemp-
ions in many of the districts, but such
omplaints are to be expected in the
ARRIVING out of a project as stupendous
S this.
Make the task of the exemption boards
n Vermont as light as possible by de-
lining to ask for exemption unless the
onscript is certain that he can do more
Dr. his country by staying at home. The
onscript who accepts the announcement
nat he must serve while his neighbor is
xempt makes the kind of soldier
hich Vermont will be proud TO enter
n its list Public disapproval will sure
follow the man who, by some subter-
Ige, escapes service.-Rutland Herald.

Two Hundred Thousand Coming to Juneau for Game and Fish Club
 to Have Matched.
MEMBERSHIP GROWING
Local Organization Will Make Efforts to Get Big Membership
 in Club.

At the request of Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, the Bureau of Fisheries has given the Juneau Fish and Game Club 100000 black-spotted Rocky Mountain Trout eggs. The gift was made for the purpose of furtherine the purpose of the club to stock the barrent lakes and streams of Alaska with game and food fish and will be matched at Juneau under the direc tion of A. J. Sprague. Mir. Sulzel made the application for the fish July 23, and was promptly informed that the Bureau of Fisheries would give as many eggs as possible. It is now believed that the eggs will ar rive in Juneau in about ten days. MT Sulzer became interested in the mat ter through the efforts of A. J Sprague and others at Juneau.
 This was the report made last night at the meeting of the Fish and Customs House. The request for 100000 eggs was forwarded to the Blu reau of Fisheries some time ago anc Delegate SulZer was at once notified of the request and of the purposes for which the eggs were wanted. A letter was sent to him on behalf of the Club asking his cooperation and a number of private letters were al so forwarded to him indorsing the request. The shipment of the eggs from Colorado is the result.
 At last nights meeting a commit tee consisting of A. T. Spatz, Dr. Rob ert Simpson and A. J. Sprague was appointed by those present to secure a suitable building in which to set up the hatchery equipment which has been donated to the Club by the Gastineau Company, to care for the eggs upon their arrival.
 committee consisting of Walter B. King, J. Campbell and w. T. Tolch was appointed to secure new members for the organization al Thane A. T. Spatz last night alone turned in 103 new names for mem bership, together with their dues for the year. A lively interest in the Club and the work it is doing is being developed here and is rapidly spreading to other sections of South eastern Alaska.
 A committee of one was appointed to confer with the proper officials to see if it would be feasible to ap point each member of the club as a game warden to serve without pay but with the sole interests of the fish and game at heart.
 The next meeting of the Club will be held at the Customs House on August 10th, at which time the com mittees appointed last night will re port
