Pete Mauer, who heard the statements, immediately proceeded to administer the proper punishment with a view of making the man retract.
 Murphy then swore out complaint against Mauer charging him witk @s- sault with a dangerous weapon. At the hearing Mauer was discharged

AMERICAN SOLDIER
 KILLED BECAUSE OF
 ATTACK ON WOMAN

Chicago paper of November %. says: Found guilty of by Court Mar tial Of attacking, then killing French woman. an American soldier Of Gener. al Pershing's forces in France has been executed by firing squad. His name ani other details are withheld.
 The tactics Of the Germans will not be tolerated by the American chiefs. il is strongly emphasized. Should the American forces. while op- erating with the Allies, rise up from the trenches and sweep the boche horde before them. women Of the foe will not be brutally mistreated by American soldiers.
 One Of the most glaring instances , ot the brutality for which the Ameri- can soldier was shot, was carried out early in the war by the Germans. Al ter making the first great drive To-
 ward Paris. squad of oficered hun soldiers surrounded a chateau owned by 3 wealthy French woman, and in a
 night raid dragged eight young women from their beds and carried them of. Later the girls were recaptured by squad Of British soldiers after they had been basely mistreated. Strict or ders have been issued to ;Ae L. s. sol.

 Murphy was then arrested and up on being found guilty of having made seditious statements was fined $50.

Society Teaches Navy Cooks To
Cook

Many prominent society women, led by
Mrs. Adrian Iselin, have given up social
activities in order to teach soldiers how to
cook. Mrs Isein, writing in the Novem-
Der issue of Harper's Bazaar, tells how,
through her New York Cooking School,
these women are training able seamen to
prepare food properly and are rapidly
lessening the shortage of capable chefs in
the navy. Rear-Admiral Usher, U. S. N,
has cooperated with Mrs. Iselin and has
Endorsed her work.
The men have learned very quickly.
In fact, Admiral Usher says: Without
this aid, it would have been a difficult
matter for us to supply sufficient number
of competent cooks to the small vessels in
the district, and to the large German liners
which were recently taken over by the
government"

BIG PHILIPPINE SUGAR CROP
Modern Machinery, suppIantfng Hand
Labor, Results in Planting of r
Immense Acreage.

The Philippines are like most of the
sugar cane growing regions in that the
available labor supply is comparatively
limited. To overcome this, the tractor
and modern power machinery is being
introduced. AS this does not pay on
the small plantations, the custom is
for one organization to operate sew
eral hundred or thousand acres, and
well-organized system is involved
throughout the year. Labor-saving de-
vices are employed wherever possible.
The first process in harvesting sugar
cane is stripping the leaves from the
stalks, an operation requiring much
time and labor, as this must be done
by hand. A cane knife or bolo is used
by the native laborer, who passes the
knife down each side of the cane,
knocking off and throwing them into
the middle of the row, where other la
bOrers pick them up and load them
to be hauled to the mill.
Sugar cane milling under modern
methods may be divided into four es-
.sential processes, namely, the eXtrac-
ton of the juice from the cane, the
Qualification of the juice by boiling, the
evaporation of the juice so as to re-
duCe the sugar to the crystalline form,
and the freeing Of the sugar from
impurities. The most modern ma
chinery for all operations is fast being
installed throughout the Philippine is
lands, and American consumers may
look forward to securing the bulk of
their sugar from these distant dots
on the Pacific, which owe their de-
velopment to American capital and
American leadership.

Big Saving Of Meat.

"The soldiers at Fort Harrison are
going to do some feeding" said T. NJ.
Conron, Chicago meat packer, who was
at the Hotel SEVERN recently, accord
ing to the Indianapolis News.
Conron had in his pocket contract
to send to the fort 175OO0 pounds Of
meat. The contract also called for g.
600 pounds of butter and 5000 pounds
of best oleomargarine. Conron says
that meat packers are encouraging the
public to set aside meatless day. He
estimates that the average family will
require two pounds Of meat day.
"Figure 1t up," he said, land you will
find that the American public will save
in the neighborhood Of 100000
pounds Of meat every time they OBJ
serve q meatless day."

Lack of Charm Cause of
Divorces

Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the great
French actress, in signed article in the
November issue Of Harper's Bazaar attrib-
utes the numerous divorces that have
come into the courts of late years to lack
of charm in the women concerned
If l stood at threshold of life," says
Mime. Bernhardt, asking of it something
with which to buy happiness, l should beg
for charm. For if one has charm, she will
be loved. And woman must have love
to be happy. Beauty does not matter If
a woman has charm she can secure what
ever she wants-love, success, power. ="
But the Divine Sarah also says that
invaluable quality can be cultivated, and
her prescription in Harper's Bazaar reveals
the secret.

Mrs. Shirley Hall Hitchcock

The friends of Mrs. Shirley Hitch
cock, formerly of West Burke, were
greatly saddened to learn of her sud-
den death, at hospital in Spring
field, Mass, early on the morning of
October %.
Shirley Hall was born at West
Burke, in February 1886, and was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ala
Hall, who at that time lived on
farm between this village and New
ark. She was educated in the dis
trict and village schools and at St.
Johnsbury Academy, and was also
gifted in music, possessing very
sweet soprano voice. Twelve years
ago she married Clayton Hitchcock
of North Troy. Two years after
their marriage they moved to st.
Johnsbury where he was engaged
in the insurance business and later
they moved to West Derby, where
they lived for a few years and
finally located at Springfield, Mass,
where they had very pleasant and
attractive home. She had not been
we'll for the past year, but the end
was very sudden and unexpected.
Beside her husband, she leaves two
little sons, Clair aged eleven, and
Wayne ten years of age also her de-
voted parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. E.
Hall, and many other relatives as
we'll as a large circle Of friends here
and in her home city. The funeral
took place at the Hall residence on
Friday afternoon, Rev. G. W. Doug
lass officiating, and interment was
near her only brother, Dinsmore, in
Hillside cemetery. A profusion of
rare and beautiful flowers carried
their sweet message of love and
sympathy to the stricken family,
and all that kind hearts and loving
hands could perform was done, to
ease the blow, which has fallen so
heavily upon those who knew and
loved her best.
The whole family have the deep
sympathy of their many friends in
this time of sorrow and lonliness,
and the sons, who will remain with
their grandparents, will be made
very welcome both by young and
old.

Theory That Doesn't Work.

A great social truth, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger, was enunciated by
the janitor Of New York apartment
house. who had lost his job, he ex-
planned by his wife's jealousy of the
elevator girls he had employed and
was being sued by her for nonsupport.
Girls are girls" said this shrewd OBJ
server, land you have to pay more at
tention to them than you do to men,"
The theory that women who go into
business should be treated lust like
men" is held by many, especially by
the women themselves. 1t Is an excel
lent theory, but 1t does not always
work.

FUNSTON AS STRIKE BREAKER
dian Packers to Proceed on
Journey.

In 1898 Frederick Funston set out
for Alaska on a commission to collect
botanical specimens. Today the trail
over ChilkOOt pass is familiar, but at
that time it was known only to Indian
guides and few daring miners who
had followed it's devious ways. Funs-
ton with two companions went up the
pass and over to the Yukon, says the
Youths Companion. One incident of
the trip he describes in his own pic
turesque language as follows:
"The Indians carried the loads while
we dragged the empty sleds. The snow
fell necessarily for five days, and it lay
along our route from to so feet deep.
Day after day we wallowed and strug-
gled on as we worked our way grad
ually upward to the summit of the
range. One cheerful little diversion
occurred on the second day. The low
proved chief packer who seemed to
have charge of the other Indians threw
his load into the snow and announced
that unless their pay was materially
increased he and the other packers
would get themselves back to the vii
lage, and thus leave us in a pretty
pickle.
"My temper had been at white heat
all day, and without thinking what
might be the consequence of such a
move, showed the muzzle of cooked
rifle into the face of the advisory COM
mittee of that strike, and the way the
Most Serene Grand Master of the
Amalgamated Order of Chilkoot Sal
mon Biters reshouldered his sack of
beans and tugged along through the
broad expanse of the beautiful snow
shows that it is sometimes a good
thing for. every well-regulated family
to have a gun in the house."
