VERMONTERS
ARE PR0DDED
Fuel Administrator j 0 n e S
Says They Do Not Appre-
cite Fuel Situation
LITTLE RELIEF
FOR SITUATION
Several Small Industries in
Grave Need Of
Coal

State Fuel Administrator III. j. M
Jone, while at his office in the State
House Monday afternoon, said that he
wished some one would suggest some
thing to wake up Vermonters relative
to the coal situation, that there should
be a great deal more interest taken in
the matter, for if the war continues land
all those who are in a position to pre-
dict, claim it will continue for another
year,, the situation as to coal bids fair
to be worse next year than this. He has
in his office cards entitled "Cut Cord
which are like those being sent by adj
ministrators in other states to awaken
the interest in cutting wood, and which
in few days Mr.. Jones will send to the
various towns of the state, hoping to
awaken the citizenship to cutting cord
or more of wood this winter for use next
winter, or placing the order this winter
for green wood that it may be dried for
next winters use.
Another card being sent from his office
is entitled, Save your coal to fire the
kaiser" Upon each of these there is a
lot of good advice for families. Vermont
has been well supplied with coal in years
past, but now it must wake up by pre-
parlng TO use more WOOD. IeOple must
change their CRATES in many instances to
use wood, but it will have to be done
or go cold unless great conservation takes
place.
Mr.. Jones does not want to take any
drastic action, but the supply Of hard
coal is difficult to secure for Vermont and
the situation may become so tight that
it will be necessary to do something
along the lines being done in other
states, where unnecessary lighting and
industries that use coal are to be shut
down to conserve the supply for the
of life In some states dis
play electric lighting, etc, are being
stopped to give the coal for more inn
portant needs. vermont must wake
up said Mr.. Jones. "There are several
small industries that need coal. Proba
bly, the conditions at Milton and Chester
are as bad as in any two places in the
state. They are practically without coal.
The supply of soft coal is coming a little
better at present, but it is not known
how long it will last"

THE DEATH OF U-BOAT.
More Detailed Story of u S, Destroyers'
Victory,

Base of the American Flotilla in Brit
ish Waters, Nov. 27.-(By the Associ-
ated Press 1T is now permissible to
give the details of the capture by Amer
leans of the entire crew of U-boat sunk
by depth charges. The explosives had
disabled the U-boat and forced it down,
humping along the bottom of the sea and
striking terror in the hearts of the crew,
when the commander in order to tighten
her emptied the tanks.
To the great relief of the crew the
U-boat responded and rose to the surface
with such rush that some of the Ger
mans were thrown about and injured
The U-boat appeared on the surface with
in several hundred feet of an American
destroyer. The submarines hatch flew
open and the Germans scrambled out of
the coming tower, coatless and shoeless,
ready to swim for it. They lined up along
the narrow deck with hands in the air,
shouting "kameradp
The U-boat remained stationary, and
the destroyer moved close up and heaved
a line, which the Germans made fast.
This was no sooner done than it became
apparent that the crew had succeeded
in opening the seacocks, for the sub
marine began to settle, at first slowly
then more rapidly. As she did so the
Germans leaped into the water and swan
towards the destroyer. Some of the
American bluejackets jumped into the
sea to rescue the injured
As the last German was lifted aboard
the destroyer, the hawser attached to the
U-boat parted under the strain and the
U-boat disappeared.
All the Germans were given steaming /
hot coffee and dry clothing and were 9th, |
erwise made comfortable for the run to
the base. But one of their number. |
machinist, had suffered greatly from
shock and exposure and died on the way.
He was buried with full military honors
from the deck of the destroyer, the
American commander officiating at what
was the first funeral service so far held
in the war on an American destroyer
When the destroyer reached her base
the prisoners were almost wholly clad
in American bluejacket outfits. They APP
peared especially fond of the American
shoes, which were the first they had ever
worn.

Willing to Swap Congressman.

The Bennington Banner ehides The
Reformer and The Barre Times for not
having full appreciation of the ability
and quality of Porter Dale, congressman
from the second Vermont district. The
Banner says he is one of the strong men
that Vermont has sent to Congress. The
Banner may be right but some of us on
the east side would be willing to swap
him and take Congressman Frank L.

Flourishing Zimmerman.

Zimmerman is certainly a progress
sive little village. Its main street was
formerly nightmare to AUTOMOBILE
lists; now it is in excellent condition.
Less than year ago there were no
sidewalks to speak of, now there is
more than a mile of nicely laid &C.
ment walks. Many Of the residences
present taseful appearance with we'll
kept grounds and gardens. The stores
are we'll stocked and apparently doing
a good business. The bank has close
to 100000 of deposits. The hotel
would do credit to a place several
times as large, and it is we'll patron
lied. Zimmerman is easily the second
best business town in Sherburne coun-
ty and is growing all the time. -

The Critical Period.

The critical period in the life of the
potato plant is when it is beginning to
blossom and set tubers. Any injury
to plant or root system at this time
reduces the yield very materially. In
Minnesota this critical period comes at
a time when climatic conditions, are
usually -unfavorable. The effects of
the heat and drought Of late July and
early August are very noticeable. 1t
is, therefore, very essential that the
previous care should have been such
that the crop can pass this critical per
iod in the best condition.
The control of insects and diseases
by spraying to bring the plants into
perfect condition for the setting and
growth of tubers is very essential and
is discussed in Bulle.in No. 1853 of the
Minnesota Experiment Station. :
