Can St. Johnsbury,s Vegetables.

\ "a ;
The people of St. Johnsbury should
keep in mind some project by which
the vast amount of vegetables grown
here this season may be canned and
buy cans at Wholesale costing six and
one half cents each, and distribute
them anywhere within a range of five
miles Of ST. Johnsbury for seven cents
each. When they, are filled he pro-
poses that some organization take the
canned goods paying the seven cents
The can Neost and a reasonable price
for the contents. In this way large
stock of canned goods could be secur-
cd alta reasonable cost.
We would also suggest that the Red
Cross or some other organization
might set up a canning equipment at
some central place where people I'M
able to do their own canning could
send their vegetables and have them
canned for them Or the vegetables
could be paid for and canned by the
society and sold by them at a slight
advance, the profits to be used by the
society in its other work ~ ~
The prime object of these sugges-
tionsis to furnish the vegetable grow
ers- of this vicinity an opportunity to
dispose Of their goods and give the
people large supply Of canned goods
at a reasonable cost. There must be
prompt action if these things are to
be accomplished. /

 Miss Hourwich spoke first very briefly and introduced Miss Younger of California, who spoke on the meth ods of the "pickets" at Washington, stating that the ''picketing" was done in order to gain recognition of the people of the whole country.

Fine Record by COurtland and
 Lawrence County

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 On the second page of your paper this morning notice news item from Albany, supposed to be giving the cor- rect amoHnts subscribed to the second liberty loan from Morgan, Limestone and Lawrence counties. In this article Lawrence county has been done a grave injustice. I am not in position to know what the other counties did, or Lawrence county as a whole, but l do know that Courtland alone, with a pop ulation of less than 800 people. sent in subscriptions of more than $10,O00, which is more in proportion than AL bany or Morgan county. I personally secured and sent in to Atlanta $6250, and the Tennessee Valley bank of this town sent in some s4000 or $5000.
 Knowing what our town did, I feel safe to say that Lawrence county sub scribed something like s3o,000 We have two men in our town who subscribed more than the s3000 spoken of in the Albany article.
 Our average is more than $100 per man for every man in our town, both black and white, and per capita aver age of more than s20 per person. Can Albany or Morgan county cleaim as much? Yours very truly,

EMMETT JONES HAS MARROW ESCAPE
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Emmett A. Jones, recently announced for commissioner of agriculture of the state of Alabama, got to Birmingham yesterday, but that is about all-for he met a tree en route that tied up his automobile in such manner that junk is the best name available now for the former Velie fiv'e-passenger touring car
 MT. Jones states that he and c. l.. DUer of Columbus, Ga., were en route to Bircingham from Montgomery. when at point on the Wetumpka road q bridge had been washed away over a creek and he failed to notice that the bridge was missing until he was almost ready to leap into the chasm He i'm mediately whirled the car into a tree and the crash was so terrific that there was not enough glass left on the car to make pair of eyeglass lenses. The car is total wreck, but MT. Jones and MT. Duer were practically unhurt, only few scratches and distracted nervous systems being the toll of the experi- ence.

"The war-camp community recerattion fund emphasizes the word "community" and is to be devoted exclusively to fur nishing, under skilled direction, whole some recreation outside the camps and cantonments all over the country. while the Y. M. c. A. fund Is to take care of the recreation for the soldiers inside the limits of the camps.
