It gave US real pleasure tc read
that Walter A. Kidder Of CharlestowI
N. H., on Monday caught four trout
in MILESTONE brook in Wardsboro
that weighed three pounds and twelve
ounces. The largest one was fifteen
and one-half inches long and weighed
"a pound and six ounces. We are
pleased because the catching of such
trout in Vermont waters requires real
craftsmanship and the removal of
such large trout from any stream is
no damage to fishing in general The
craftsmanship necessary to secure
such prizes will be admired by every
one and forms strong contrast to the
work of the fish hog who takes every
thing that can fasten itself to a hook.
May many more men of the stamp of
MIR. Kidder get prizes from Vermont
streams before the close of the FISHING
season.

THE SPIRIT OF III.

We talk of the spirit Of '76
And the spirit of 81
With proud and fervent mien, d
But poets will sing in later years
OF the spirit of II. 800
For the blood of youth is as red today
And the hearts of men are as stront
AS other days have seen,
And deeds that are noble Will III
wrought
BY the spirit of IT.
For woman's love is as constant today
Her ideals are just as high,
Her sacrifice as keen
And she yields her beloved unasked.
In the spirit of 1T.
We know that today is the testing
time,
When our higher selves are revealed
And strength as yet unseen
Will have it's birth, for our guiding
Is the spirit Of IT.
Whatever is worthy, heroic, true,
Will be brought to the front today
The selfish, weak and mean
Must sink out Of sight when frown
ed upon
BY the spirit of IT.
The call of today is to every soul
From youth cen to quiet old age,
And all tho yoara hotwaen
Well rise in our might and an
swer 1t
In the spirit of II.
That our children may read some
future day,
Of devotion answering, sincere,
Of hearts weH-poised, serene,
And the steadfast purpose of theil
sires
In the days Of III.

Keep Vermont Ewes i'm Vermont.

A. R. Gould. associate editor Of the
American Sheep Breeder. says: There
are nine reasons why every farm
should have flock of sheep, about
one sheep for every two acres.
1. Sheep produce the choicest of
manure and distributes it thoroughly
without damaging even the meanest
clay. .t.u-
+ q Keeping the farm clean is a
problem that a farm flock will sim
plify.
8. Live stock profitably consume
the -unmarketable feeds of the farm.
4. The care required by sheep
comes at slack seasons of the year.
5. Wool and lambs are easily
transported products that can we'll
replace the hauling of crops
6. Better farming offers an oppor-
tunity to handle sheep successfully.
7. 1t requires a smaller initial in
vestment to establish a farm flock
than to stock the farm with any other
kind of animals. r.
8. It required little harvested and
marketable feed to secure the profits
that belong to sheep husbandry.
8. There is no Investment on the
farm that will pay as well as the
money spent in a farm flock.
The truth of these statements will
be admitted by most practical farm
ers Wool today brings the farmer
from so to IS cents pound and lambs
or sheep bring correspondingly high
prices. So there is AN additional rea-
son why Vermont farms Should SUP
port a small flock of sneep- t. get

sheep started we suggest that this sea-
son the owner uf sl,cep Sell his ewes

secure a flock of acclimated sheep
ready to add to the productiveness CT
their farms. If all the ewes in the
state at the present time could be re-
tanned here for breeding purposes we
would see a big increase in the num-

season. Sheep can be kept very
largely on hay. of which there is such
an abundant crop this season, ard SO

Food Saving.

Il wa Savings
Our government has just issued an
other message to the American people
that is most timely and ought to re-
ceive universal attention. 49,
Thanks to the Wake up" movement

brought under cultivation everywhere,
and the spade and the hoe have been

production will reach phenomenal pro-
portions when our crops all over our
country are harvested. And we will
be revealing in plenty.

surplus, "to secure vegetables and
fruits at summer prices during the
summer abundance, and to can, pre-
serve and dry them for winter use
Turing the winter shortage" This ap-
peal is not merely to our pocketbooks
when 1.-The cost of this food will be
one-fourth less in summer than in
winter Generally this is all-com-
pelling. But the appeal is made pri-
marily to our patriotism that ought to
receive an universal response.
Our country today is the most i'm
portant granary of the world. And
by heading this appeal we shall have
abundant food to supply the impera-
tive needs of our allies. Nor is this
Ill. But our patriotic obedience means
also that many thousands of freight
cars can be used for other purposes
than to feed as. Railroad efficiency
is imperatively necessary in these war
times and the congestion of our
freight service has heretofore been a
very serious problem. Every car is
now needed, directly or Indirectly for
war purposes. And by needing this
food conservation appeal we are help
ing just SO far our railroad transporta-
ton, helping our government, helping
our allies. And at the same time con-
serving our pocketbooks. The United
States expects every man to do his
duty-not merely in shouldering the
gun in our country's peril, not merely
in subscribing to loans, but also in do

To guard against this it is the practice
of the British government to change
its codes, sometimes as often as once
a fortnight-whereas we doubt if Mr..
Daniels has changed our naval code
in the more than four years that he
has been in office.
The truth is that the Gleayes dis
patch as given out by Mr.. Creel was a
piece. of inexcusable taking. and even
the ingenious Mr.. Daniels cannot con-

The Lakes of Eastern Vermont.

The booklet THE Lakes of Eastern
Vermont" issued by the Vermont De-
partment of Publicity, tells of many
attractive bodies of water in this Sec
ton of the state. But the half has
not been told as yet. We believe
Woodbury. is credited with the most
ponds of any town in the state, but the
towns of Newark and Westmore must
be close seconds. In small section of
these two towns there are eight or ten
ponds each one of which is natural
trout water Nearly all of them are
surrounded by woods and are as Sc
cluded and restful as the lakes of the
Only few of these ponds have cot
tages built around them or are con-
trolled by private parties for fishing.
They form great park where the
public can go on equal footing.
There are many fine opportunities
for private fishing preserves in this
section, but more desirable than this
would be the further, development of
these waters for fishing by the public.
There is one drawback to development
work in this section and that is the
disregard of the law by people living
| laws have little meaning. Deer, of
which there are naturally great num-
| bers are shot at all seasons of the
year, and fishing is done with the sam g
disregard of the law. Fishermen from
a distance are not welcome and will
| be directed to parts of the ponds
where fishing is the poorest. These
conditions are wrong and Improbable
to the residents of the section.
There is an opportunity for mission
airy work there by the fish and game
organizations of this section of the
state. They would gladly assist in Sc
curing of young fish to stock these
| waters if they could be assured they
would be protected and allowed to
develop into legal sized fish. They
would want to go fishing there OF
course, but would take only fish al
lowed by law and thus allow the de.
lyelopment. of better fishing for every.
fbody. They should also assist in the
development of respect for the law b.

things could be accomplished thu

The public in general will regret the
failure of the jury to convict Joseph
Legendre, who collided with another
automobile while operating an auto
mobile under the influence of liquor.
There is plenty of evidence that he
was intoxicated at the time of the col
lision and was a menace to all the
travelling public, and no man refusing
to convict him and turn him over to
the court and the law for punishment
is acting the part of good citizenship.
We hope the States Attorney will not
give up the effort to convict him UNI
til another jury has been called to sit
on the case. We hope that the next
jury will not disgrace the whole jury
system by acting in defiance OF the
evidence and of the law-abiding pub
lie which wants to be protected from
such unwarranted peril

should address all bodies of American
troops, telling them in a clear and

war aims of this country would go
far toward creating an American spir-

his country.
Every man who is enrolled in the
United States army should know that
he is called for the purpose of fight

British fleet moved in between the

Germany was an enemy then and has

Germany has planned for years to
force the American people to pay a
tremendous indemnity to it to cover
the expenses Of crushing France and
England. 1t has attempted to plot
with Mexico to seize a part of the
United States territory, and with
japan to attack us for the purpose of
destroying our power in the Pacific
