An Open Letter from Mr.. Hoover.


The October Woman's Home Compan-
ion prints letter from Mr.. Hoover. He
| says:
| My Countrywomen:
| ! ask your help.
The president has laid upon me and
has asked me to assume great RESPONSE
| bility in the conservation of the food
supplies of our country. 1t would be an
unbearable burden but for two reasons
One is, | am sure every loyal Ameri.
can will at this time undertake unhesi
tatingly and Fundamentally whatever
service is required of him.
The other reason is--the American
woman. believe you have only to I'M
derstand the food needs of this nation,
of the allies, and in fact, of the entire
world, in order to enlist your immediate
and intelligent support.
realize full well that 20 per cent, of
our households are conducted with thrift
and without waste; but even in these we
need to secure the use of equally good
food in substitution for those commodi
ties which are of so concentrated char
acter that they can be shipped over the
seas in these times of short shipping
Among the 80 per cent, we have de-
served the reputation of the most waste
full housekeeping in the world and we
must now turn about squarely and make
our country a model throughout of eco
nomical management.
We are not alone appealing to the
women; we are actively organizing so
far as possible, without legislation, the |
men in trades, hotels, restaurants, and !
in food distribution, hoping not only to
eliminate waste, but to moderate the |
burden of speculation and extortionate
profits.
1t stands to reason that your first |
duty is to the members of your family. I
They must have all the food they re-
quire to keep them in good health and /
capable of performing efficiently their
daily tasks, Information for your guild
ance as to the feod needs of the average
family viii be put in the hands of every
woman in America.
] confidence | turn to you so TO con-
duct your affairs, and so to influence the
of your community, that we
may largely pay for the war as we go
along out of our savings in food and in
human production.
With deep gratitude for the earnest
support already given me, | am,
Faithfully yours, Herbert Hoover.

The Vermont quota of the national Sc.
lected army is within about 100 men OF
being filled, and it is probable that the
entire complement of men viii be drawn
before the United States government is
ready TO receive them for the purposes
of training. The men already drawn
come from all walks of life and are quite
representative of the state in every way,
having been accepted because of physical
and mental fitness without regard to
other considerations except the rules laid
down by the government. The district
board of the state seems to have been
quite fearless and impartial in its deci-
sions and to have had the sole purpose
of prosecuting its work with fidelity to
the letter and the spirit of the law.

The farmers of Washington county
would do well to bear in mind the state
ment of County Agent Abbott, printed
in another column of to-days paper, to
the effect that had they planted the
proper varieties of corn they would not
have suffered so severely from the frost
experienced by this section of Vermont
last week. Undoubtedly County Agent
Abbott has some information which will
be of value to the farmers who are plan
ming to raise corn another year.

 U. s. Steel common on sales of 396,- 700 shares sold at 13112. the highest price since the organization of the com pany. A strong upward trend IS still shown, with the stock confidently bought on all recessions.
 Central Leather appears to be in line for higher prices. Last year on earn ings of 8 per cent the stock sold at earning at the rate of GO per cent per annum.
 Republic Iron & Steel is well bought and there is every indication of higher prices being made in the near future. The company's earnings and cash po- sition warrant the stock selling at higher level
 , A strong upward trend is still shown In Lackawanna, Inspiration, Crucible Colorado Fuel & Iron, Anaconda, Amer ican Locomotive, Car & Foundry.
 Calumet 6 Arizona declared a quar- terly dividend of $2 a share and s1 extra.
 American locomotive declared a quarterly dividend of 1A per cent on the preferred and 1H per cent on the common.

just visited the fleet Aboard it were Secretary Dariels and Secretary Baker. The presidential yacht, glistening white in sharp contrast to the dirty business-looking gray of the fighting ships, slipped into the waters one Sun day morning. Except for the strains Of the national anthem, first from Cne ship and then from another, as the Mayflower, the two secretaries flags flying from her masts, passed down mile after mile of war vessels. there was quiet Puffing ships laurcners and boats going to and from shore lay to as the glistening bow of the yacht cut through the water. Two navy airplanes circled in the air
 The two secretaries inspected some of the ships and men and then boarded the admirafs gig, which carried them to new recreation field fixed up for the many thousand men of the fleet by the navy league. Baseball diamonds cover acres of ground and they are well patronized; many games were in progress when the secretaries arrived
 Secretary Baker got so interested in a game he stepped over the foul line. A husky sailor, not recognizing the visitor, addressed him by yelling Hey" and then followed it up with a demand that he get back in a hurry, several choice adjectives being added for the sake of force. The secretary moved, and right smartly, too.
 l. Several bluejackets stepped up and were recognized as boys from Cleve- land, where Secretary Baker formerly was mayor. All shook hands and the secretary of war chatted with them for some time.
 There are other recreations besides those found ashore at the base of the fleet Every day mail comes and goes. There are band concerts each evening, and every ship has a moving picture machine. Screens are set up on the decks and for an hour and half comedies, dramas and dark mysteries are shown. The men crave amuse- ment after a hard days work and they get it. Pictures of children are espe- cialy popular and loud "Ha- Has re- sound from each ship showing a drama as the villain is foiled. So- called cus- tard pie comedies are greeted with howls of delight.
 ! Every ship has a mascot. Sometimes | 1t is goat; more often it is dog, or several dogs. One big dreadnaught has aboard a litter of bull puppies, sons and daughters of the ships chief mascot. When the ship rolls the pup l pies slide across the decks and into the scuppers, to be fished out and set on their feet again by the bluejackets, their mother all the while watching the , proceeding with a critical eye from around the corner of a hatchway.

Because she was reputed never to nave told lie in all her life, Berenice Soners was presented with a truth medal. As matter of fact. she was one of the worst fibbers that ever ioin- ed the Ananias club.
