FOUR MINUTE MEN
Are Being Elisted in Nearly Every
Town in Vermont.

Mason S. Stone, director of publicity
of the Vermont committee of public
safety, is busily engaged in recruiting
a force of Four Minute Men, Mr.. Stone
having been designated by the Washing
ton authorities to conduct this work in
Vermont.
The Four Minute Men will be located
in practically every town and city in
the state, and by addressing movie au-
diences will be able to place before a
great number of people such messages
as the government may desire to have
delivered.
Mr.. Stone expects to have the organ
ization completed within few days and
in time for the -Four Minute Men to be
used in connection with the food conser-
walton pledge card campaign which will
open in Vermont Oct. 2lst, to continue
for week when every housewife will
be asked to enroll in the conservation
army by signing the pledge card.

Food Conservation Week.

The "home cards" which are to be
distributed during food conservation
week tell the whole story of the care
which must be expended in order to
save food enough to send to the soldiers
of the allies, The card says:
"Our problem is to feed our allies this
winter by sending them as much food
as we can of the most concentratiye
nutritive value in the least shipping
space. These foods are wheat, beef,
pork, dairy products, and sugar The
food administration makes it clear at
once that this is to be accomplished not
by boarding or by skipping but by
substituting food products that cannot
be sent to the soldiers in the trenches
for those that can be sent. We are not
asked to limit ourselves in any way
that will affect health. Neither are we
asked to greatly change our food habits. !"
Referring to our problem of feeding
our own soldiers and our allies this win
ter, the new "home card" says:
Our solution is to eat less Of these
(wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and
sugar and more of other foods of which
we have an abundance, and TO waste
less of all foods
The schedule for doing this brings no
hardship to any one. To begin with the
wheat. We must send more wheat to
our allies because England, France,
Italy and Belgium, taken together, inn
port, in peace time, forty per cent of
their bread stuffs. But now with their
reduction in harvest they must import
sixty per cent We must increase our
normal export surplus of SS,00O.OOO bush
els to 220,OO0O00 bushels" The food
goes on TO remind us
that 1t can be done in but one way.
by economizing and substituting.
The plan for this is to have one wheat
less meal a day; to use corn, oats, rye,
barley, or mixed cereal rolls. mullins.
and bread in place Of white bread, GER
tainly for one meal and, if possible. for
two. We are asked to eat less pastry. I

WASHINGTON coUNTYS FUND
Has Contributed S1,353oi to the War
Library Campaign.

Waterbury, Oct. 6.-Mrs. w. L. Was
son, chairman of the Washington county
campaign for the war library fund, re-
ported this morning that a total of
81 ,3539l has been raised in the county
which is considered good showing in
view of the fact that the campaign was
late in starting and since number
of the towns have no Libraries.
OF the total amount raised SS425l was
contributed in Montpelier and was sent
directly to Boston by Miss Evelyn Lease,
the librarian there. Other subscriptions
were: Waterbury, $l7s; Barre, $ll670;
Mortified, 1880, Cabot, $37; Moretown,
$50; Plaintield, $S2250; Roxbury, $40;
Calais, $50. Duxbury, Waitsfield and

PRISONER ESCAPED.
Eugene Allen Filed His Way Out of Ben
nington Jail. U

Bennington, Oct 6-Engene Allen
aged 80, who has been confined at the
county Jail here since August "a, charged
with stealing horse in Peru, escaped
some time during Thursday night. The
prisoner filed the heads off from three
bolts that permitted him to lift a trap
door leading into a steel ventilator shaft
running through his cell. From the
shaft he made his way into the cellar
and to liberty.
Since he has been confined here Aliens
wife has been employed at one of the
local hotels and it is presumed that she
furnished the prisoner with the file dur
ing one of her periodical visits to the
Jail.
Allen was arrested in Hubbardton by
Deputy Sheriff j. d. Purdy of Manehes-
ter after Allen had sold the horse in
Granville, N. Y, and backtrailed into
Vermont.

VAR MOTHERS
ARE ORGANIZING
To Lend Their Cooperation in Food
Conservation So that the War May
Be Won More Quickly.

Springfield, Oct. 6.-Calling upon the
mothers, sisters, and wives of American
soldiers and all other American women
ffor their loyal cooperation in the food
administration campaign to secure the
signature of every American housewife
to card pledging conservation of food
stuffs, Herbert Hoover federal food ad-
ministrator, to-day through James Hart
ness, food administrator for Vermont,
declared that such cooperation will hast
en- the coming of peace and will bring
| the American boys hack to their Ameri-
can homes quicker and with fewer breaks
in the ranks than would otherwise be
the ease. Mr.. Hoover says that the
Liberty loan must be subscribed and
will be subscribed but it will be useless
to gather this money to prosecute the
war if we fail to make sure of our food
which will win the war, and the lack
of which will surely lose the war" Mr..
Hoovers statement Is as follows:
"War mothers are organizing in every
state of the Union to assist during the
week of Oct. 2l-2S in house to house
canvass to obtain signatures to the
pledge card of the U. S. food administra-
the services of every woman who has
a son in the army, navy or marine
corps, or son enrolled under the Sc
lective service law and subject TO future
call The war mothers will be welcomed
into the ranks of the food administration
workers.
tIt is peculiarly fitting that the moth
ers of the men who are TO fight the ma
tion's battles should enlist in this vital |
ly essential service. They are sending
their sons off to endure the supreme test
of citizens. They want their sons to
return to them as soon as the peace |
of victory may be achieved. They will
hasten the coming of the peace by the
work they have undertaken. In no war
in which the nation has engaged has
the loyalty devotion and self-sacrifice of
American women ever failed. In no war
have they had a greater opportunity
for sacrifice than is offered in the move
ment of the conservation of the ma
tion's food supply.
Not only does the food administra
ton cordially welcome the war mothers
into the ranks of it's voluntary work
,rs but an equal welcome viii be ex-
.ended to the wives and sisters of our
soldiers and to all other women who win
,nlst for the service which President
Wilson has said is more essential than
my other which American women can
ender. +,
THE Liberty loan must be subscribed
md will be subscribed but it viii be use
ess to gather this money to prosecute
he war if we fail to make sure of
,ur food which will win the war and
he lack Of which will surely lose the n

SCHOOL LUNCHES.
Foods That Are Both Nourishing and
Palatable.

Don't let the school lunch be merely
something which will fill the lunch box
In the morning and be only sop to stay
the kiddes' appetites from noon until
night. Make it real contribution to
the food which the children require to
meet the needs of their growing bodies
and active brains-to satisfy their ap-
petite and keep them in health.
These are the suggestions of home
economics specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, now
that millions of the future citizens of
the country are again eating their mid
day meals from box, basket, bag or con-
fectionery shop instead of from the fam
lily table under watchful parental eyes.
The preparation of lmcheons which
will fill the needs of the child's body, does
not mean the use of more expensive foods
or the expenditure of greater effort, the
specialists point out. In many cases
both expense and work will be lessened.
What is needed for the preparation of
more satisfactory luncheon is merely that
parents and 'big sisters or whoever ills
the bunch box, shall inform themselves
Of certain facts in regard to the choice
and combination of foods. The need in
many cases is for neither more nor less
food but for the representation of needed
food groups. The necessary facts are set
out plainly in farmers bulletin 7l2,
school Lunches" which may be had free
so long as the supply lasts, by applica-
tion to the United States department of
agriculture, Washington! ID. c.
The following suggestions are among
those made in the bulletin for well-bal-
anced lunches to be carried to school:
Basket Lunches.
Sandwiches with sliced tender meat
for filling; baked apple, cookies or few
humps Of sugar.
2.-Slices of meat loaf or bean loaf:
bread and butter sandwiches; stewed
fruit; small frosted cake.
3.-Crisp rolls, followed out and filled
with chopped meat or fish, moistened
and seasoned, or mixed with salad dress
ing; orange, apple, a mixture of sliced
fruits. or berries; cake.
4-Lettuce or celery sandwiches; cup
custard; Jelly sandwiches.
5.-Cottage cheese and chopped green |
pepper sandwiches or a pot Of cream ]
cheese with bread and-butter sand /
witches: fruit cake.
6.-Hard- boiled eggs; crisp baking |
powder biscuits; celery or radishes; /
brown sugar or maple-sugar sandwiches.

Alien Slackers, Attention.
Alien slackers of the United States
will have short shrift under plans

Supporters of measures designed to
force the slaekers into service declared
that legislation would be under way

problem was put mp to the state de-
partment for an opinion. If the de-
partment delays in advising congress
as to what effect the legislation will
have internationally congress will move
on its own initiative.

thor of the resolution which would
draft alien slackers without interna-
tional formality, declared that his com

the Red Cross commission in France,
saying:
