The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-09-14

j. +. Weeks. director of state insti-
buttons, during the past summer has
been using men sentenced to the house
of correction in digging a mile of ditch,
some of it to a depth of IL feet, for
the installation of the new sewer system
at the home for the feeble minded at
Brandon. This. is the first attempt along
this line in Vermont, and it has demon
stratcd that penal institution labor can
be successfully used on the honor system
outside the institution. Gov. Graham
is believer in the use of convict labor
in this way, and it is expected that his
administration will show a great exten-
sion of this system, of which The Re-
former has long been an advocate. The
men who worked at Brandon have done
something of a permanent constructive
nature, and they are mquestionably III
better physical condition than they
would have been shut up within prison
walls. The greatest shortage in hell
which the country has ever faced con
fronts MS today and the change back tC
anything like old times may never com,
again. Undoubtedly many of the mer
\ given Jail or prison sentences could
be employed proftably to the state il
highway construction.

Sabotage
New York World. J


In expense accounts of the l. ". w.
seized by government officials are sums
set down for solidarity for strikes
of various sorts, for patriotism :
strange word in that company for
when the leaves come out which is
mysterious, and for sabotage. > We
know what that means.
1t means dropping PHOSPHORUS balls
into dry wheat fields so that babies NAV
lack bread. It means pinching the
apple q man is paid he, pick so that they
Will rot in the barrel. 1t means firing
resinous forests to dry the springs and
/ turn fruitful land into desert 1t means
stones thrown into threshing machines,
railroad trains ditehed, lumber yards
! destroyed, food warehouses burned. 1t
means bombs hidden on ships so that car
goes may sink and sailors die
To the extent that it succeeds, such
work may benefit Germany. 1t is, at
least, such work as German spies ar
range for in entente and neutral lands
with prodigal outpouring of gold. But
it does more than make war on the gov
eminent of the United States. 1t is
war against the people of the United
States. 1t wages war upon humanity

ment. This is probably better than pay
ing almost no attention to the food val
ues of different rations,, as has al
ways been the custom in the majority
of households, but what is wanted is a
happy medium. 1t is important to have
well balanced meals, but the balance
should be secured by variety rather than
by settling down to a limited number of
foods, however well chosen. The house
keeper or cook should see that no
important food element is omitted for
any great length of time; and, on the
other hand, that too many dishes repre-
senting the same elements are not
served at the same meal. Those who
are interested in the subject may OBJ
tain information free of cost by asking
the department of agriculture, Washing
ton, d. c., to send Farmers Bulletin
No. S24, and others, on the balanced ra
ton.

Potato Cribs and Feelings.
Rutland Herald.l


The success of a Rutland man in a
potato patch planted with potato peel
ings has attracted some attention, lust
as the success of others with potato
cribs has caused much comment and ex-
pertinent. 1t does not follow, however,
that either method is practical
b. practical one means likely to be
successful in the majority of cases, and
practical potato growers prefer the field
method, with cut tubers for seed
The past has been an unusual season.
Potato plants did not demand the usual
nourishment which they get from the
pulp generally planted with the eyes,
so they may have done better from peel
ings than ordinary. At all events, farm
ers growing 'spuds' for profit are plan
ming to use accepted methods next
spring.
The crib system calls for unusual care
talso. The cribbed tnbers must have
lot of watering, and heavy fertilizin.
| the cribs represent considerable labor
and, with land as plentiful as it is il
Vermont, there does not seem to b.
much practical demand for them.
Potato cribs are really the city man
eXpedient. just as Philo coops are 70
city chicken farmers, yet who woul
hold seriously that a man with rea
sonable area of land would perferabl
raise chickens in a closed box or pota
toes i'll a crib, if ordinary methods wer
available
Such experiments are interesting an
their success is creditable to their NAL
ers, but it does not follow that ordinar
folks need to change. Some of the goo
old ways are just as good as the newe

Windham county is to lose its most
literary celebrity of the
present day, Clarence Burlington Kel-
land of Wilmington, who is planning to
make his home on Long Island. Mr..
Kelland came to this state few years
ago from Michigan, as an official of the
Ludington company, which has estab-
lishcd a large woodenware factory in
Wilmington. His short stories and ex-
tended serials are in great demand in
Saturday Evening Post and other we'll
known publications, and he has written
two or three popular novels. He has
now decided to devote all of his time
TO the work in which he has made such
rapid advancement, particularly in the
past three years. The scene of one Of
Mr. Kelland $ recent serials in the
Saturday Evening Post, The Source,
was laid in the Deerfeld valley in the
towns contiguous to Wilmington.

Valuable Information Compiled for the
Generals Use Mislaid

WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.-Lost pa
+pers at the war department referring
to important and immediate needs of
Major General Pershing's force in
France has conferred attention here on
the necessity of more direct method
of handling all matters pertaining to the
nation s overseas forces in the future.
The papers, containing data compiled
after weeks of painstaking and special
lied work by officials here, have been
hopelessly lost in the maze of ''official
business - and the war department has
had to give up the search and direct
that the data be compiled again SO far
as possible.
The mix-up has happened at precisely
the time when other important matters
! have been so delayed as to cause General
Pershing to ask for speeding up in or
der that plans made in conjunction with
British and French staff officers abroad
may be carried out according to pre-
pared schedule. There has been hitch
in arranging for matters connected with
the Pershing aviation supplies and 9th
er questions which General Pershing
believes should have been settled and
are held back or decided adversely.
One difference of opinion which has
arisen between General Pershing and of
lficers at the department is over the ques
ton of submitting spiral puttees for leg
lgings for Pershing s troops. The war de
partment has decided against Genera
Pershing, although he regards the mat
ter as so important that he is expected
to cable request that the war depart
ment s decision be reconsidered.

was introduced at that time, told of the
immense debt owed by the members of the

The debt to them, he said, had been piling
| up for years until the interest had become
staggering He said it was the duty OF
every person in Vermont Methodism' to get
behind the movement in order that the
aged pastors at the close Of their years OF
ministry might be properly provided for.
Bishop Hughes presented the cause in
the manner which has won for him recog
milton as one of the greatest platform
speakers in the country He urged that
serious attention and work be given the
vast project under way. Dividing his ad
dress in three divisions, relation, obi
CATION and exultation,' the bishop led VI

obligation incurred and the exultaton OF
