STOPS SUGAR EXPORTS.
Hoarding by American Consumers May
Iniure Allies.

NEW YORK, April oS-Hoarding
of sugar by American consumers has
led to suspension of export business to
meet an abnormal demand for the
staple, Earl d. Babst, president of the
American Sugar Refining Co., has
stated III 4 statement approving the
plan suggested by Herbert c. Hoover,
national food commissioner, for co
operation between the United States
and the Entente Allies III handling
food problems.
Pointing out what he declared was
a situation in which American reiiners
have been bidding not only against
one another for raw material, and
foreign refincrs, but against Entente
government commissions, Mr. Babst
asserted that Mr. Hoover's co-opera-
tive proposal should be considered
as of much, if not more, value to
America than to our allies.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Joseph
Letter, president of the Army League,
has teiegraphcd Colonel Roosevelt ask
ing him to desist from his agitation
for a volunteer division for service in
France because his attitude was Civ

my which must be sent to the battle
front | do not believe that anyone
can DO more to assist the constituted
military authorities in solving the

YOU. In my opinion the war depart
ment would gladly accept your serv-
ices in this capacity.

Tomatoes.

The city gardener who has only
small space for cultivation must be
an intensive farmer. and there is no
crop with which intensive farming
gives better results than with toma
toes, says today's bulletin from the
National Emergency Food Garden
Commission, which in cooperation
with this paper is promoting more
home gardens TO insure sufficient
food supply this year.
When tomatoes are grown CONNER
cially in the country the vines are
usually allowed to sprawl out along
the ground, which they do to the ex-
tent Of several feet Many of the
fruits thus grown are lost by roofing.
1t this were the only method of
growing tomatoes they would not be
q good crop for the home garden, be-
cause of the room they thus occupy.
l'ut by the use of intensive methods
the plants can be brought into such
small compass that they become one
of the heaviest food producers to the
square foot of ground.

The Vermont National Pip Club
A WORD TO PARENTS

When the officers Of this Bank first began to talk
with Mr. Sweeton on the subject of Pig Clubs, it was
with eye to the benefit which it would bring the
boys and girls who took part in the work; to the
business training involved in borrowing and making
the sum borrowed pay back the loan and yield
profit too; to the increased interest in things agri
cultural which might result.
In the last few weeks another side to the matter has
come to view. Our Country is at war. On her rests
the duty Of feeding all Europe. And as things are
it may not be easy to feed her own people
In such crisis it to that it is our duty to
point out that even few Of hogs, added to the
number which would otherwise be raised in this To-
caity, will help America and her Allies to win the
War. Especially will this be so if every boy or girl
who takes VERMONT NATIONAL pig will raise
with his her hands such part of the necessary
food can be grown between now and fall and also
an amount of grain equal to that used in fattening
the pig.
Our suggestion is, therefore, that parents interest
their boys and girls in this matter Talk it over with
Mr.. Sweeton. The produce of a small plot will sup
port one pig in luxury.

PAPERS TALK OF
WILSON MOVE
BERLIN PAPERS DEVOTE MUCH
SPACE TO PRESIDENTS
RECENT ACTIONS.

BERLIN. Feb. 1.-THE afternoon
newspapers devote columns to news
from America
Editorially the papers lay particu
lar stress on President Wilson's move
to induce Switzerland and other neu-
trails to follow his lead. The commeni
President Wilson personally is more
sharply attacked than before, and his
peace efforts are ridiculed as utterly
inconsistent with what is termed his
attempts to foment more trouble in
Europe.
By a curious coincident almost ey-
cry paper takes occasion to reiterate
the allegation that President Wilson's
every act has been induced by his in
5istence that Americans shall be al
lowed to travel unendangered on en-
tente ships.
Several papers repeatedly refer to
this as the chief cause of the trouble
between the two countries and here
and there an almost plaintive note
makes its appearance as the editors
ask why President Wilson could no.
accept the German offer to allow one
American ship weekly to go TO Eng
land.
The papers are frankly enthusiastic
over the prospect that Switzerland
and other neutrais will not fall in
line behind President Wilson and il
is pointed out that the difference be
tween the position of America and
that of the European neutrals makes
it improbable that the president will
have any success ir securing follow
ers
In this respect the papers en-
phasize announcements showing the
inclination of the government to
ameliorate the lot of neutrals ass fan
rs possible as for example the altera
ton of the blockaded area so that
Holland might have an outlet and
the furnishing Of coal to Denmark
