Give Up Search For Missing
Portland Gid Traced Here

town for 14-year-old Rosie Pearson,
who was traced from her home in
Portland, Ne, "a this place. shTssrlair j.
j. Mcneil gave up the hunt ana. re-
turned to Portland yesterday after
noon. There has been much mystery
concerning her disappea rance from
home on July 49, "A letter received by
the girls mother stated tina. She in
tended to go away and obtain en-
ployment as a nurse girl.
The Portland officials felt certain
the girl would be found in St Johns
bury from certain clues they had run
down. They were aided in the search
here by the local police ,departm ent,
but after looking the town over thor
oughly the Portland officer was con
sinced she was not here, or if she had
been had gone elsewhere
The girl was of good family, and
when she went away wore white
waist and striped sport skirt. She was
especially noticeable by a large black
bow 1T is her custom to wear in her
hair. The police, it is understood,
have cause to believe there is a young
man connected with or responsible for
her disappearance, and are now work
ing on the case from another angle
The local department are still aiding
IN the search.

man next winter when the crisis be-
comes acute.T asfs 5ttt
The sudden demand of the navy
and other departments of the govern
ment on the soft coal supply usually
open to New England has cut very
heavily into the total supply The
consumer who has been holding off
has been asking us repeatedly if he
can get coal at lower price. This
question cannot be answered because
while the government seems to. be
regulating coal prices, it frequently
stepped in to seize some of New Eng
lands supply for naval purposes.
Moreover, the pressure put on in
dustrial establishments for war ma
terial, the acute competition in labor,
have reduced further supply of labor

Raise Potatoes in
Tall Stacks; Little
Work, Large ,Yiel'

White River Junction., VIZ July 20.
Potato raising, in pens several feet
high is becoming very popular in this
village and a number of citizens have
entered into the scheme with great
deal of enthusiasm. =
The several pens or tall stacks To-
Gated here have attracted much at
tention among potato raisers Of the
State, who make pilgrimages here to
watch developments. ~ go
N 7. Wheeler, for many years one
of the most successful farmers in Yer
mont, was proba bly, the: first person
in the State to venture upon the. new.
tangled idea He, has a large and
flourishing pen in the rear of his home
on Main street and expects to harvest
an abundance. There are two bushels
of potatoes planted in the pen, which
! Mr.. Wheeler expects will yield him be-.
| tween 80 and 40 bushels. There is
4 practically no work to this method of
raising potatoes. Il
/ In front of the studio of c. L.
! Brewster, on one of the principal
streets, is another pen, which not only
grows potatoes, but a whole garden,
including beans, beets, radishes and
tomatoes. This pen is about four feet
i by eight with two-inch Stats to hold
! it together. Mr.. Brewster is going to
! raise strawberries in pens another
/ year. for he says it can be done, very.
| successfully as the berries are kept off
the ground and are much cleaner and
easier taken care Of
In the height of the season these
pens are an attraction from the fact
that they are completely covered
with the green vines, with pumpkinss
sauashes and cucumbers hanging here
and there. -.
Another innovation in potato cul5 /
! ture is being tried by Mr.. Brewster
and G. w. Waterman, who have an
acre of Incorporating vines
There is no blowing to be done, ac3
cording to this method, the seed POI
tatoes being laid upon the grass in
rows. Then they are covered with al
sprinklmg of dirt, and over this is
placed a layer of hay or old grass and
left TO the mercy of the elements, AT
harvest time the hay is rakeds off and
the potatoes come forth almost as fred
from dirt as though they had beed
washed. 4s..t.s-' (. -

BUY COAL NOW ).
!. is WARNING
James J. Storrow Points Out
That Supply Will Be
- -.
/. Short This Winter

We think the only safe course for
New England consumers to pursue is
to buy coal on a considerable scale the
next so, days. SO that before the end
OF october they may be sure to have
on hand liberal supply In no other
way. can we be sure to keep warm and
TO keep our industries going next WIN
Ter, said Chairman James J. Storrow
of the New England Coal Committee,
speaking for the committee, and giving
New England advice based on the
committees thorough study Of the
situation existing today. .
The committee said Mr.. Storrow
has been working hard to assist in
increasing the supply of fuel for this
section. 1t has been aided in doing
SO. as far as hard coal is concerned,
through the coal railroads and the
solid train-load movement In this
way. anthracite conditions are consd-
erably better, but New England is by
no means out of the woods, owing to
the fact that while more coal is being
carried by rail, less is being brought
by water due to lack of water tonnage
and. shortage of coal at the leading
ports
New England has never been able
to bring IN coal during the winter
months as fast as it could be burned
The carrying capacity of both rail-
roads and boats is cut down during
thetwinter, months and unless the con-
sumers prepare for the heavy drain on
coal piles in the winter by accumulate
ing coal in the summer. they cannot
possibly make up for the shortage
which will come at critical moment
ssThe question of price does not enter
into this, though New England had
borne a heavy burden in this respect
the last Year. The point is that if New
Eengland had borne heavy burden
in this respect the last year. The
point is that if New England is to get
through next winter with the coal it
must have and thus avoid hardship
much graater than the high prices OF
last winter, people must take coal and
keep taking coal every day to tho
limit of New England's carrying ca
paeity.
This duty to keep our carrying ca
pacity working to the full limit the
next 90 days falls on the larger cor
porations which have financial re-
sources and storage capacity sufficient
to accumulate now most of next win.
