the subscriptions easily. The people
rave generously and few II any failed

We are now in the early stages OF a
campaign to keep in the city the All
eus,n General hospital, an institution
~ necessary to our welfare as our
public utilities that supply gas, cleo
t-icirv and transportation. BY many
tho hospital is regarded as a more
important utility, as its presence or
absence may mean life or death in an
emergency.

Those who follow the fun Of beech
nut hunting say that this is a beech
year. The woods at this time are
thick with the hunters and the hard
wood ridges are as popular as ever.
Together with the sport of hunting for

maybe encountering a bear or two,
which adds zest 10 the fun.

The Lyndon Idea.

| With the rest of the sta.e some What
| feverishly striving to make headway
in the line of greater production it
| is useful to cast an eye toward Lyl-
don where the home projecr cldh"
has been in successful operation for
about nine years.
| The far-hung activities OF jhis cub
| have been written 10" many times,
| bat it may he stated that they include
| the following: Vegetable gardening,
canning, dooryard inpro cement. spe-
cial crops, potatoes. forestry. maple
sugar, poultry, livestock. pigs, butter
and cheese, cooking. sewing and hand
crafts of various kinds.
Practically every one of these activ-
tiles becomes of vital importance in
the present war crisis, and the past
years OF hard work in interesting
boys and girls in such activities now
comes into the forefront of neighbor
hood problems. with the solutions al
ready worked out!

pioneer sort and has an influence by
no means confined to Lyndon or even
Caledonia county and Vermont
The slogan of the club so far as
canning is concerned. is "a can of
green, can of fruit, can of vege-
tables" for every family for every day
in the year. Consider what this means
in these days of tight necessity for
conserving and preserving food
Right now, Mrs. Chases pupils are
devoting much time to "one of our
most valuable foodstuffs.' to wit the
despised and plebeian dandelion.
The Herald was somewhat smugly
ridiculed last year for urging its read
ers to put up lot of dandelions. Now
comes an expert, who says, mot less
than 100 cans for every family" She
also recommends canning rhubarb
spinach and asparagus during the |
present month
AS for method; ANY one knowing |
the cold pack method can put up 100 |
cans per day-one ruiz for all food |
stuffs, meats, fruits, vegetables and |
green's
When one considers that this advice |
IS the result of experience. not theory,
il becomes well worth following.
Incidentally, any one who seems
skeptical about the value of dande
ions ought to send for the Cornell
"Dandelions as a Food" II

am convinced that bird song proper,

Saturday, May s, 1917.

A somewhat unique idea in patrio-
tism has been developed by the re-
tail merchants of Rutland. Instead of
publishing their regular advertise
ments in the Rutland papers on GER
tain day they combined their space
into extensive announcements of the
need of recruits to fill the ranks of
the Rutland company and of the first
regiment of Vermont troops. There
is evidently an awakening to the fact
that so far Vermont stands at the foot
of the list in the matter of volunteer
enlistments for the army. Such a
situation is directly opposed to the
history of the state in all previous
wars and ought not to prevail in the
present crisis.
