SHERIFF CALLED TO
SECURE HIS SAFETY
Man Says He Would Kiss Or
Defend Flag, But Is
Opposed To War

F'redericktown, May 2-It was only
the arrival of Sheriff Mossholder last
night about 10 o'clock that saved
transient salesman who has been To-
Gated here about five weeks, from
the fury of small mob which sur
rounded the residence of Fred Lever
ing with the intentions of throwing
eggs or other missiles in retaliation
for alleged unpatriotic remarks made
by the stranger.
The man, who protested to the sher-
iff his patriotism in such terms as,
I'm willing to kiss the flag any time,
was taken to Mt. Vernon, lodged over
night at the Hotel Curtis He depart
ed today for Minneapolis, Mimi, his
home.
Trouble has been brewing for a
number of weeks. The transient is
a native German, but naturalized
American. He has taken a stand
against war and some of his utter
ances were construed to be unpatriot-
ic.
Last night, he upheld LaFollette's
which started in the local hotel A
heated discussion followed. Later,
the man went to the Levering resi-
dence, where he had been invited
Between 50 and 100 citizens Of Fred
ericktown surrounded the house,
waiting for the salesman to venture
out. The effect was frightening and
the sheriff was called.
The man has been here managing
the sale of the Levering shoe store.
Mr.. Levering states that he had no
idea that the stranger was considered
unpatriotic, his first intimation of the
fact coming last night when the mob
surrounded the house.
An associate of the transient, who
has lived with the latter during their
sojourn here, states that he has fire.
quently heard him remark that the
people of Germany ought to over
throw the kaiser and crush militar-
ism. He further says that the man
has stated that he would go to war
against Germany if his services were
needed.
The near victim of the mob claims
that he has worn an American flag
ON the lapel of his coat ever since
the declaration that state of war
exists with Germany was made, but
that one of the girls in the store pull
ed this off yesterday.

work steadily and, consequently,
ought not to expect so much pay as
men employed at similar work.
While it would be foolish for any
young woman to stay at work when
physically unfit, it is believed that
most women now continue at their
work as constantly as men. Any
woman who is unable to do so, should
take Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, the old reliable medicine
for woman, and get the aid she needs
to enable her to keep at work.

VAIL SCHOOL WILL
REOPEN IN THE FALL

Burlington, May 23.-'The call
ed dropping of the entire faculty of

Lyndon was in no sense summary
discharge of Them" said DR. Milo B.
Hillegas. state commissioner of edu-
cation. in an interview given here last
evening. The school closed May 1,''
he said, Nin order to release for war
services the 60 young men studying
there, and the services of the instruc-
tors are no longer required. Their
contracts expire July l so the state
board of education felt justified in
releasing them and paying the full
salaries called for in their contracts.
I'm the fall the new school will
be reOpened with increased facilities
and a centralized plant. Carrying out
the recommendations of the school
board the institution will be placed
on revenue producing basis, the
home farm of $50 acres being used
for the school work and the remand

THE FARMERS TALE

In view of the suggestions from city
sources-impracticaI suggestions in 80
per cent of the instances-to the far
mer for the increase of his production
t seems proper that there should be
reply from some of the farmers.
In the first place it must be kept in
mind that the effect of the neglect, of
the lack of proper protection, during
A period Of many years cannot be
overcome in few days or months.
Conditions of the past twenty-five
years have driven farmers sons from
the farm. in many cases farmer him
self.
The conditions would require too
lengthy a description for such letter
as this. A long standing abuse with
respect to dairy farmers was taken
up for correction by a certain man,
and you know what abuse was heap
ed on him. The farmer has been ex-
pected to produce, produce, work ev-
cry day eight hours, invest his all in
production and go in debt for produc-
ton, and at harvest send to market
and take what he can get, and in many
cases allow stuff to rot because it
would not bring the price Of harvest
abor, packing, shipping and selling
commission.
AS an instance, / shipped last fall
some pears, hand picked Cost Of pick
ng, per BARREL 25 cents; cost of cart
ng to railroad station, 15 cents; cost
If barrel, Al cents; eXpreSsage per bar
rel, 80 cents; commission on sale per
barrel, 7 cents; total cost of harvest
Ind selling, interest on investment
md labor Of spraying and cultivating
not considered, $1.84.
l was paid gross, per barrel, $125,
making a loss on each barrel of So
cents.
At this rate it would be more prof
table to chop trees down-flne fifteen
rear trees, which require eight to
ten years of care in growing to pro-
1ucing stage.
Taking the egg situation today we
ind prices recently averaged about 40
Ger cent over last year, and feed is

o 125 per cent more, and we are ex-
oected to pay these prices for the

| ant be done. Poultry plant failure

And breathe with gladness her life
