HAIL! CAPTAIN O'PLYMOUTH

On Friday evening May 4th, the
music lovers of Morgan City will be
treated to a performance of real
merit in the presentation of the
beautiful musical comedy, Hail
Captain O'Plymouth". The per-
Torrance is to be staged under the
auspices Of the Atkinson Memorial
Church and the staging is being di-
rected by prominent ladies in that
church with assistance of some OF
the very finest musical talent in the
community. Mr. Farley O'Brien had
much of the musical direction in
charge and has developed a chorus
of strength and beauty.
Perhaps fifty people are taking
part in the production of the musical
to be given at the Evangeline Fri
day night. They are now ready to
give their performance and the re-
naming nights Of rehearsal will give
them all letter perfect in their
parts. Catchy music is heard
throughout the performance inter-
spread with dramatic and comic
dialogue. Character chorus in song
and drill formations will add zest
to the entertainment.

Vermont Grange Meets.

The 10th annual session of the Yer
mont State Grange, Patrons Of Hus-
bandrv, was held in Burlington last
week. About 400 delegates attend
| ed. The report of the Patrons Co.
! operative Fire Insurance company
/ showed that the total loss for the
year ending Sept. l was $2589.18. All
but S25.18 was loss by lightning and
all the losses except $5O.18 were IN
July and August.
Ebert S. Brigham of st. Adams,
state commissioner of agriculture
and a member Of the federal milk
commission, made an address. lie
urged the appointment Of grange
committee on the question OF milk
price and cost Of production.
In his address, W. n. Cady, OF Mid
dlebury, state master, stated that the
farmers of the United States had re-
sponded nobly to the call for increased
food production and by observing
long hours and hard work with dis
couraging weather conditions and
shortage Of labor have produced an
immense amount of food crops. Yer
mont has done her share in this work
he said, and when the government
called for money the farmers re-
sponded according to their ability.
Many of Vermont's subordinate and
Pomona Oranges subscribed for Lib
erty bonds When the first call for
money was made the executive COM
mittee Of the state grange met and
invested $4,000 of grange funds in
Liberty bonds, although this meant
a shrinkage of the oranges income.
Nearly every grange in the state has
sent one or more of it's members into
military service. He paid high trib-
ute to the press of the state.
Mr. Cady said that since it's organ
ization the grange has taken dehn-
tie stand on the question of temper
ance, always maintaining that the
curse of intemperance should be driv-
en- from the land. "We," he said,
"have come to see that the only way
in which this can be done is by ma
tional prohibition of the manufacture
and sale Of Intoxicating liquor as a
beverage" In connection with the
question Of a constitutional amend
ment on the subject, he said that
each member of the grange ought to
be ready to do his or her part in the
campaign.
1t developed in reports that the
Grange has membership Of 10000
in 1873 subordinate oranges. The to-
tai receipts of the state grange for
the year were $4,000 and there is a
considerable sum in the treasury.
It is probable that the convention
of 1918 will meet at ST. Johnsbury,
as an invitation was extended by that
place.

James W. Gerard, for four years
our ambassador to Germany, and
only returned after diplomatic rela-
lions between Berlin and Washington
were broken last withdrawing
been in Germany during two years of
the war and making a study of con-
ditions there from every standpoint,
says, "There is far greater danger of
starvation of our Allies than of the
starvation of the Germans. Every
available inch of ground in Germany
is cultivated, and cultivated by the
aid Of the old men, the boys and the
women, and the two million prisoners
of war" This is an unqualified par
agraph from the foreword in &C.
rard's book, "My Four Years in Ger
many" probably the most authorita-
tive work we have on German condi-
tons. He adds that eve are engage
ed in a war against the greatest mill
tary power the world has ever seen"
and ''the German nation is not one
which makes revolutions. There will
be scattered riots in Germany, but no
simultaneous rising of the whole peo-
Pile" Again, we find him saying,
"The U-boat peril is a very real one
for England. :" = = We stand in
great peril, and only the exercise of
ruthless realism can win this war for
u.s."
If every American could read this
book there would be fewer people
who scott at the idea of saving food
and fewer who belittle the task be-
fore US with the belief that when our
troops get to fighting they will soon
defeat the enemy. We would better
understand that we are fighting a
nation still financially strong, a ma
ton with 100000 Of fighting men
still able and willing to bear arms, a
nation which knows no obstacle of
conscience in order to gain it's ends
Gerard says, "The German army
drawing for reserves on the teeming
populations Of Russia and Siberia
would never know defeat. And this
is no idle conjecture, mere dreaming
in the realm of possibilities, * :"
Let America awake to the idea
that we are in a struggle which re-
quires all our united effort in saving |
and in giving, our service, our money
and our lives. We are in a very real
and very great war.

A Captain of the COmmissary.

The county agricultural agents
constitute American agriculture's
first line of defense.
They are the men in the first line
trenches, zealously guarding the
farmers interests and bringing to his
attention all that is of immediate
practical value in our scientific teach
ing, and fortifying this with results
from the experience Of the most sue
cessful hardheaded practical farmers
Of each county.
At a time like the present, when
the nation is engaged in great war,
wherein food production is of vital
Importance, the value of the county
agent to the government can hardly
be over emphasized.
Since the United States became
helligerent. the county agent has
done a valiant war service. In coun-
ties having agents, it was possible
during the past summer to secure
truly wonderful results, in quickly
and adequately meeting a difficult Ia
Dor situation; in locating available
seed stocks; in arranging for farm
credits for the purchase of machinery
and fertilizers; in supplying tractor
power, and in other forms of effective
leadership, all contributing to a great
increase in the production of spring
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and other
food crops; and, finally in assisting in
facilitating marketing.
Some of the most important battles
of this war will be won during 1918
in the burrows and fields of America.
The county agents will be the cap
tains of the soldiers of the commits
sary who will make these victories
possible.

Don't Close Schools.
Governor Graham put his foot
down good and hard on the idea of
closing the schools during January
and February. He makes it very
plain to Food Administrator Garfield
that if there is not coal enough to
keep the schoolrooms warm, wood
can be secured. The governors ar
gument that in rural communities
the scholars have work to do during
the summer months, but during the
winter months, nothing to do but at
tend school. The latter fact may
seem a little ancient to city folks, but
none the less, the conditions still ex-
ist in Vermont, for which we are tru-
Iy thankful. Governor Graham is alb
right in saying mo- to clos
ing schools in January and Febru-
ary.-V aterbury Record.
