The other thing emphasized at the
meetings was the necessity OF food
conservation. The people of America
are not asked to deny themselves Of
necessary food but are asked to adopt
substitutes so that more of the con-
centrated foods, like flour, meat, dairy
products and sugar can be sent to the
allies. The American people will not
suffer for the want OF food, but the
allies will starve If they are not sup
piled with these foods by America.
Food rather than cannon will win the
war and the American people are
asked to rearrange their diet SO the
war can surely be won.
6 These were the two central themes
of the convention and we are confi-
dent the appeal to the people of YER
mont will not be in vain. We do un-
derstand that this is a war Of defense
ind not war of aggression. war
for just peace and not a war of con-
quest. To such a war every person
claiming loyalty to the right will
sheerfully give every possible support.
He will defend his country's stand and
sacrifice something of his personal
tastes in food that the men who are
in the trenches fighting for the home
land shall be properly fed.

Rutland, Sept. 27.-The first war
convention Of it's kind in this country
opened here today with delegations
represented from all parts of the
state. One of the speakers, A1exan-
der Thompson, of Westfield, Mass,
representing Food Administrators
Hoover. said that Vermont was lead
ing all states in the Union in organ
zing for the pledge card food cam
paign.
He bore a persona message from
Mr.. Hoover, addressed to the people
of Vermont, in which he emphasized
the importance of food conservation,
saying food will win the war"
In reply to Mr.. Hoover's message
a resolution was adopted pledging
Vermonters to the greatest possible
reduction of waste to economical con-
sumption of foodstuffs and to loyal
observance of the food administration
regulations.

An Unsolved Problem.

One of the noticeable features in
some of the evidence in our recent
murder trial was the revelation of
the unfortunate social conditions that
exist in some of our rural communi-
ties The past decade has brought to
these sections the telephone and rural
delivery, but it has not witnessed any
marked improvement in the proper
observance of the laws of God and
man. 1t is unnecessary to specify
what laws are broken, but enough to
say that there seems to be little re-
gard for them in too many instances.
II one finds unsatisfactory conditions
among the scholars in the rural
school little Investigation will soon
reveal that in every case the same or
worse conditions exist in the home
1t may be too late to reform the pa
rents, but it is certainly not too late
to save the children Our immigra-
ion problems are being solved in oul
great cities through the education Of
the children and it is to them rather
than to their parents that we mus
look in the future for our best citi
ship.

More About Juries,

2 The 3Benningt Banner thinks that
much of the raiding Of gardens, sneak
thieving, breaches of peace and SINH
lar crimes in Bennington county are to
considerable degree the result of in
competent juries. 1t says:
Law cannot be enforced if juries
feel SO sorry for the poor chaps under
arrest that they will not convict them
when they are nquestionably guilty.
The situation is easily accounted for.
In old days punishments were too
harsh and if the jury was not SO mer-
ciful, the accused got no mercy, but
this old condition of affairs exists no
not severe, paroles are easy to get
where circumstances warrant, and
pardons are the rule rather than the
exception. Under this modern state OF
affairs a greater responsibility rests on
the men who are drawn on juries. Il
they want their communities orderly
and respecta BILE and care to have their
property protected and their life Sc
cure, they must back UP the prosecut-
ing officers with convictions when tho
respondent is guilty, beyond reason.

this in recent years.

be held in these schoo1houses on

churches, or better yet brotherhood

plenty of good music, and we are con-;

ADVISES COMMON
SENSE COAL BUYING

Boston, Oct. New England
householders who have not already
placed their orders for coal were ad-
visede to do so at once by James J.
Storrow, fuel administrator for the
New England states, in a statement
issued tonight. Householders, he
said, should be content to have then
dealers supply their current needs
rather than to insist that their needs
for the entire winter be supplied az
once. Common sense action of this
sort. he said, would do much to facil-
itate delivery and to maintain coal
prices at a reasonable level.

option of the country, Senator Dill
ingram said today:

opinion of the country, Senator Dill
lingEam said today:
Permit me to say in reply that
Congress has looked upon the move
ment of the conservation of food Of
sufficient Importance so that it has
appropriated $152,500,000 for the
purpose of educating the people to
economic, and to enable the govern
ment to so. far control the leading
food products as to successfully pro-
vision the armies of the United States
and to aid in provisioning the armies
of our allies in the great European
contest, and to do SO without increas-
ing the cost Of living among our own
people.
This has been done largely as the
recommendations. We have reason to
believe that his information upon the
subject makes his opinion of great
value, Mr., Hoover states that fully
80 per cent of human food consump-
ton in the United States is under the
control of the women of the country,
and he therefore deems it of the ut
most importance to mobilize their
devotion to methods of thrift, the
elimination of waste, economy in con-
sumption and thus enable the govern
ment to increase our exports to our
allies, who are much in need, and at
the same time increase the savings of
our people and their ability to carry
their share of the war load
He estimates that if we can effect
an economy of 20 per cent in our
flour consumption we shall have in
creased our wheat exports by 10O,-
100000 bushels per annum; and that
Il savings of six cents per day per
| capita, in consumption or waste will
have saved 100000 per annum
to the people and indirectly to the
support of the government Economy
is, in any event, a virtue and a re-
turn to a reasonable exercise of it's
| precepts can but minister to the good
of all classes If Mr.. Hoover is cor
rect in these estimates, as he appears
| to be, the Importance of the move
ment is self evident"
