Which One?

Phoebe was bored. In all the six long
wears of her life she had never spent
such a miserable day. Circumstances at
last grew too strong for her, and she
cried. She was one of those who do
not often cry, but who, when they do,
make no secret of it. In short, Phoebe
nearly lifted the nursery ceiling off.
Upstairs came Phoebe's mother, al
ready dressed in her smartest clothes
ready to have tea with a friend.
Why, what's the matter, Phoebe ?"
she asked.
Phoebe, standing hopelessly in the mid
die Of the nursery, only howled the loud
er, and refused to see anything cheerful
about life.
Lifting the unhappy child up in her
arms and cuddling the tear-stained face
against her own, the mother walked over
10 the looking glass
Just look. Phoebe AZ that ugly lit
tie face in the looking glass"
Phoebe Immediately became interest
ed and stopped crying
Which one, mothertr she asked

WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Notes for Week Ending Sept. 20.

All the week has been spent in the
field looking up the boys and girls who
had pigs and calves entered in the state
club contests. The county agents all
over the state are visiting these bows
and girls to see the pigs and calves and
find out about the work that they have
been doing. They are filling out score
cards for each animal, and the cards will
later be forwarded to the club leader,
Mr.. Ingalls,, at Burlington, and the prizes
will be distributed according to the
scores. Washington county has the
largest total enrolment in the pig club
of any county in the state, There are
over 100 pigs owned by the members of
the club, besides 20 calves and few
lambs Mr.. Churchill from Burlington
has been assisting the county agent dur
ing the first part of the week. Mr..
Churchill will work with all of the
agents in the state, so as to insure fair
and uniform scoring of the animals.
The inspection af the higs shows that
nearly all of the boys and girls who
started in the contest have kent up the
rer0rde of feed cost and other data petty
faithfully. There Ia some complaint
about the high prices of feeds. How
ever, | think that in most cases green
feeds and pasture have been substituted
for the grain, so that the gains will have
been made cheaper than last year. Some
very excellent pigs have been found. 1t
is very clear that it is most important
to have well shaped pig to start with.
The pig that is low set and of fair
length, with short head and broad
strong back and loin, will put on the
meat faster and mature earlier than a
long, thin pig. They will also take less
feed and look better during the period
Of growth. As rule, the Durocs and the |
Berkshires have shown these qualities
rather better than the Chester Whites |
The perfect score on weight is 200 pounds |
i've weight at six months old. A few !
pigs were found that had passed this
mark, and many were just shy of the !
200 pounds at that age. The boys and
girls who have the courage to take hold
If such project are to be commended,
rs it will be worth a great deal to them
Us they grow up.

County Agricultural Agent.

URGE VERMONT WOMEN
To Take Up Study of Stenography and
Typewriting.

The chairman of the civil service COM
mittee of the Vermont Federation of
Women's Clubs desires to announce that
the committee is in receipt of COM
munication from the chairman of the
United States civil service commission,
at Washington, D. c., urging more WON
en- to study stenography and typewrit-
ing.
The women of Europe are helping in
every possible avenue of service during
the war The women of the United
States should understand the necessity
wherein and how best they may aid the
civil service and the government.
From the time that it became evident
that the civil service must be expanded
to meet war conditions, one of the most
difficult problems the commission has
had to solve has been that of supplying
a sufficient number of stenographers and
typewriters to meet the tremendously
increased demands of the departments
Literally, thousands of stenographers
and typewriters have been appointed I'M
the government service in the past few
months; but the calls do not decrease;
rather they increase, and the commission
believes that the time will soon be at
hand if in fact il has not already come,
when the number of trained stenograph-
ers and typewriters in the country is less
than the number of positions calling for
such training
obviously, the thing to do is to en-
courage a great number of persons to
take up courses in stenography and type |
writing with view Of entering the gov
eminent service. This branch of gov
eminent work offers an exceptional OPP |
pOrtunity to women at this time when I!
great numbers Of men are being separat |
cd from their usual occupations to enter 1
the military branches. While women
with merely a common OF high school i
education may readily find employment
in the government service as stenograph-
ers and typewriters. unusual opportuni-
ties are offered TO college women who.
by reason Of their education, are qusli-
fed TO perforsn the more important
branches Of office work Business schools I,
throughout the country. both public and
private, are being encouraged to enroll a

DINNER DISHES OF POTATOES.
Tubers Should Have Important Place OF
American Dinner Tables.

Now that the country's bumper pc.
tato crop is flowing into markets in an
ever increasing stream, the wise house
wife will take advantage of this cheap
source of stsrchy food and will give the
tubers very important place on the
dinner table," say home economies spe.
cialists of the United States department
of agriculture.
1t is well known that potatoes are a
nutritious and healthful food, of which
one may eat freely without ill effects
As a matter of fact, say the depart
ment specialists. there is something more
which can be said for the potato, for the
liberal consumption of them hepls to sup
ply the body with alkaline salts which
il needs for normal health Eat more
potatoes, for breakfast, lunch, dinner or
supper therefore, while they are album
