Montpelier. May 1.-THE Vermont ~.
preme court has decided, according to an
opinion handed down in the case of the
International Paper company and others
against the Bellows Falls Canal company,
to take Jurisdiction in the controversy at

courts during the tendency Of this suit.
This Is the second time the case has
been to the supreme court In the hrst
decision the court took the ground that
It had jurisdiction Of the subject matter
but could not give the plaintiff the right
to proceed under the bill as drawn which
was in effect to collect New Hampshire
taxes. The bill was then amended and to
It the court now gives full sanction.
The new entry reads as follows: PRO
Judging the amended bill suficient IL AZ
irmed. The pro forma decree for the
plaintiffs in accordance with the prayer
Of the bfii is reversed pro forma and cause
remanded to be proceeded in"
The court mentions in the opinion the
fact that the matter Of boundary line ID
now before the supreme court Of the
United states. and also that the suit waa
started in Vermont courts before the mi
in New hampshire. Vermont decisions
sustain the enjoining Of persons in ths
Vermont jurisdiction when the property
may be located outside the State.

able-kn Effort VIII BE Made to
laduce Use Of Cornmeal.

washington, May s.-Ofncial wheat crop
estimates announced to-day show that
with the world facing a bread shortage
the United States, unless 1t cuts its pres
ent consumption probably will produce
only enough wheat this year to supply It's
own population.
The forecast compiled by the depart
ment Of agriculture or conditions May /
put this country's winter wheat yield at
S6e. 0o0. 900 bushels, the smallest in 10 years.
There will be no estimate of spring wheat
acreage until July 1, but with a crop Of
E0.0o0.0oo bushels. which Is higher than
the average, this country would grow this
Gar Q total Of only 6l6, 900 900 bushels.
The normal American consumption with
seed requirements is put at slightly more
than COZ. 10000 bushels.
Reserve stocks this year are said to be
lower than at n previous time at this
season. The visible supply il put now at
100000 bushels with q somewhat larger
invisible stock.
TIT allies wheat requirements for the
coming year are put at 500. ooo. 900 bushels
as q minimum. The United states will
be asked to supply more than half that
amount Wheat crops In other parts of
the world are pool.
Since the war started America has ex-
ported TO Europe vast quantities OF wheat,
reaching q high mark Of 332. 600. 900 bushels
In 1915 Last year h total fell to 243.
000.0 900 bushels.
In a statement accompanying it's report
to-day that the agriculture department
declared that. although the winter wheat
crop condition is the poorest on record,
crop conditions otherwise are favorable.

to educate tho american people to n
greater use of cornr,eal for bread. Corn
Is Americas big crop. but except in the
South 1t never has supplanted wheat fol

America must turn to corn to release

PREMIER RIb0'I SAYS FRANCE:
 IS CONFIDENT
Germany Envelopes Origin of Criminal Enterprise in
 Veil of Untruth.

Paris, July 2S.-France begins the fourth year of the var in calm con- fidence and determination expressed today by Premier Alexandre r. Ribot. in these words:
 Until the people with whom We are at war finally awaken and free them- selves from the detestable regime that expresses them. nothing will stop the allies in tGer effort that will bring peace to the world by the triumph of their ar,,ls."
 At the request of the Associated Press, the premier wrote:
 "The entry of the United States into the conflict that is pending in the world was the capital event of the third year of the war. It was well comed with enthusiasm by the allied peoples. They know what may be the effort of the American soldiers who have come to fight by their side.
 TThat event resounded nightly throughout the entire world. Certain Latin-American states where France received touching marks of sympathy on the day of her national fete already have shown, by breaking off relations with Germany. that they had a clear vision of the Germanic peril.
 Greece, wrenched from the in trigue of foreign faction, is pre- pairing to send fresh contingents to fight with us on the Macedonian front The cause of national liberty in all countries is finding more ar dent advocates who are heard with increasing attention.
 "The enemy, disillusioned in his insensate hope of stopping ocean nav igation. disillusioned in his effort to sap the courage of the allies by false offers of peace. can do no more than to seek to envelope the origrs criminal enterprise jn veil of un- truth.
 May the peoples with whom we are at war finally awaken and free them- selves from the detestable regime that expresses them Until then noth- ing will stop the allies in their effort that will bring back peace to the world by triumph of their arms"

Annette kellermann Tells You How to
 Prevent Drowning; Learn How to Rescue You Remember Her Instructions Accidents Hold Your Breath, Float and Remain Still

Now read carefully: Should you find yourself in danger of drowning, shout for help then close your mouth and keep it closed, do not let the fact that you are sinking below the sur face of the water frighten you for you will come up again.
 Watch your breathing and remain still for then you must float. Even if you cannot swim you still have a good chance of being rescued for you will have been sighted and help will ar rive shortly.
 Try hard not to lose your nerve and do not struggle. Remember that aid is coming and your rescuer must be able to approach you easily. Listen for his or her voice and remain still and your rescue will be only matter of time.
 Of course, there are a lot of you who could not control your feelings and would struggle and shout to the last breath. To those I appeal in an other manner. If you must "carry on" please try to control yourself when
