"Bow-wow," said Pat, the Dog
"Bow-wow," barked Gyp, another
Dog.
II am wagging my tail" said Pat. Il
would like so much to play with -ou."
And | am shaking my paw at YOU"
said Gyp. Il would like to play with
you just as much as you would like to
play with me-
Good goOd-good," barked Pat.
And Gyp danced around very hap
PLY They were both young dogs and
they loved to play and frisk about.
1t was snowy day. and the snow
was soft and light. Gyp and Pat were
both white fox terriers; Pat had one
black spot on his back, and Gyp had
brown spot over one eye. But in the
snow they looked almost as white as
the snow did.
Lets play snowballs," said Pat.
do you mean throw snowballs?"
said Gyp.
That's just what I mean" said Pat.
So they began lifting the soft snow
with their paws and throwing it at
each other. Such fun as they had!
They frolicked in the snow, and they
put their heads right into the snow
banks.
Then they would take turns in play
lag Dead Dog, and one would lie down
while the other covered him up with
| q little snow.
Then he would stay quite still until
/ the dog who had covered him up would
i bark,
"Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
"We're all through playing that you
are dead"
With bound they'd both start play
ing and frisking in the snow again.
Such time as they had. Soon two
little girls came walking by. They
were both carrying books and pencil
boxes for they had been to school.
There's Pat" said the little girl,
named Helen.
"And there's my Gyp," said the see
Ond little girl, whose name was Doro-
thy.
How did they ever happen to be
together | wonder?" asked Helen.
For while Helen and Dorothy were
the very best of friends, and their
dogs loved to play with each other
still they lived quite far apart. They
didn't usually go to each others homes
unless Dorothy and Helen were going
to play together.
well" said Helen, 81 say We'll have q
tea party. I'm sure mother will be
willing. She said 1 could ask you
very soon. That was this morning
and this afternoon means very soon.'
All right" said Dorothy, I'D love
to come
Sand of course the Dogs will play

1t is not pleasant nor encouragin"
to read that the state industrial schoo
at Vergennes is crowded with over 300
students in space designed to give
accommodations to goo. There is fault
in our local town and city units when
so many children are sent to Yer
gennes. Probably the main trouble
arises from the fact that most of us
give no attention to children outside
our immediate family circles, and un-
doubtedly the number committed at
Vergennes could be reduced by some
thing in the way of cooperative eff
fort in having juvenile offenders
placed on probation, and then in as
sisting and guiding them along right
paths during their impressionablt
years.

Stark on Preparedness.
To the editor of The Reformer:

To the editor of The Reformer:
No matter where you go, or whom
you meet you II hear every man, woman
and child Disgusting, arguing and
demonstrating their opinions either
about the high cost of living or about
the war, and the writer of this item
firmly believes that the high cost of
living is a more serious proposition
than the war and that the present con
dition in Europe in regard to the scar
city of food should be a great object
lesson to American people.
1t isn't submarines, or airships. or
gas bombs, or shrapnel shells that Ger
many, England and all Europe is erav-
ing for, 1T s something to eat
Millions are starving in Europe be-
cause they didn t know what the word
preparedness meant.
They say the Germans have been pre-
pairing for war for the last forty wears
and yet with all their foresight and
brain work they forgot the most i'm
nortant part, the part that every liv-
ing being must have to live, which is
food. = = Are we going to be caught
i'll the same trap?' Here we are on
the balance of the gravest, most peril
Gus crisis that the world has ever
known; we are short of food, it is high
priced, almost beyond the reach of
many of our people, and yet this gov.
eminent allows it to be sent across the
water. Our best horses are sold and
sent to our enemies, when we ought tc
be buying them for our own country.
1t is a terrible sad affair that oul
government does not recognize the i'm
portance Of keeping what food and wal
material we have in our own country
1t is not up to the President nor the
cabinet nor the officials entirely, bu
is mainly up to every man, woman, anC
child to build magazines, not TO
powder, but for pork, smoked meats
preserves, canned goods, corn, fish, rice
in fact, most anything to eat will tast
| better than shrapnel, if we were starv
] ing like the Belgians.
We have seen Europe s great mis-
take and we should profit by it. 1t i
our duty to be self supporting, to rails
more crops and stocks than we We eve
raised before and then the most i'm
portant part Of all is to keep it. =
Keep Q reserve supply of food to las
your family at least through five year

The Elusive Nickel,

Every boy knows how annoying it is
to drop something into sidewalk
grating or between the cracks of a
sidewalk. And nearly all boys have
had such an experience at some time
or other. A simple remedy is general
ly at hand in the form of stick and a
piece of chewing gum or tar. Smear
the gum on the end of the stick and
then lower it into the hole or grating.
When the gum adheres to the lost ar
ticle all that is left to do is to lift
it out. l have had several occasions
to use this idea and it has always
worked fine.-American Boy.

The government farm in Weybridge
where Morgan horses are raised for
breeding purposes, has been eased
by purchase from 600 to 1000 acres.
The farm was founded largely through
the generosity of the late Joseph Bat
tell. 1t is doing great work in per
petuating the wonderful Morgan type
and in making it better known through
out the nation, and incidentally it is of
value in stimulating better farming to
country contiguous TO Weybridge.

added Helen.
So the little Girls and the Dogs all
played together. The Dogs did their
tricks and the little Girls laughed aud
clapped.
Then the Dogs played with balls
while the little Girls played with their
Dolls.
When it came time for the tea-party,
the little Girls sat by a small blue
painted table, and the Dogs had cush
ions to sit on.
They had tea, which was mostly
sugar and milk, but it was good and
hot and it had very pretty tea color.
Then they had delicious bread and
butter and jam. And large bowls of
milk for the Dogs. Gyp and Pat also
had a fine chop bone apiece.
1t was certainly a very. jolly little
tea party, and when Dorothy had to
leave she said, ut was all because our

and sealing WaX Of cabbaSes- q kin4S

Corn meal mush is an old fashioned
preparation which was formerly used
to tire out the appetite, but has now
become more popular than carving
gossip TO a new minister.
There was n time when corn meal
mush was not considered much of a
delicacy in this country 1T is q heavy,
durable kind of food and after being
allowed to stand in one spot for few
days does not digest with the ease and
unconscious grace of the cream puff
Corn meal mush originally sprang from
the New England states, having been
nvented by the Puritan Fathers, who
we're accustomed to cat it cold and
hon have prayers immed atcly after
ward. The Puritan Fathers were
houehtful people and did not believe
N taking any unnecessary chances.
With the growth of wealth and cul-
'ure IN the United States, however,
neoplc turned away from corn meal
HGsh and began to cat light, frivo-
rs articles which did not lie fiat on

Essex Junction is known to fame
through the scorching verses written by
the late Edward J. Phelps, at one time
ambassador to the court of s.. James,
but il is doubtful whether it ever had
anything on White River Junction as

and wait for trains. The cheering
word, however, comes from the June

comnleted, a long DELAYED work which
