"But why worry over something that

1T might happen" said Mrs. Glow

Mrs. Glowworm.
"Oh, yes" said Mr. Glowworrn, "you
said you We're sad because you had no

That's true" said Mrs. Glowworm,

Wheat Raising in Vermont.


1t Is estimated that Nemonters this
year will produce $1,000 bushels of wheat,
compared with 25000 bushels the year
previous That is a pretty good increase
for one year and shows what the farmers
can do if they set out for it. That Yer
monters have not confined their efforts to
increased production to wheat is shown
by the fact that the estimated production
OF corn, wheat, oats, barley and potatoes
in 1917 is l0,69S 600 bushels compared
with 7,S47 900 bushels in 1916 Nermonters
have certainly responded well to the ap.

Escaped the Frost.
{ bennington Banner.l

There is a section of high land in
Windham county, running through the
towns of Dover, Marlboro and Wards
boro, where the recent frost did not
touch though it destroyed crops 800
miles further south. Along this high
land apple-trees grow wild and there
is a big crop even in this year of apple
scarcity. Along this ridge is probably
as favorable a place for apple culture
as there is in the United States, and
most of the land is so far back among
the hills that the price is ridiculously
low

10 know that the quarantine which was
in force in Montpelier nearly three
on account of the outbreak of
paralysis has been lifted. Not
a case has been reported in several
weeks. The epidemic at the capital
was in mild form, with only two or three
fatalities, and most of the children
stricken are making good progress TO
ward complete restoration of physical
powers. Business was hard hit in Mont
pelier, but it ought to regain a normal

Struck by Lightning.

George C. Hart on West hill, Stowe,
lost his barn Wednesday night when it
was struck by lightning during a hard
thunder storm. Following a heavy
rash of thunder. Mr.. Hart discovered
the barn was in flames. He was able 10
urn out six cows and horse, but two
pigs, calf and 80 hens were burned
with the barn, which also contained the
1eason S crop of hay and grain. A
horse and a cow were killed by the
bolt, as they were dead when Mr.. Hart
reached them. Help was summoned by
telephone and neighbors responded. The
ire alarm was given at the village and
n short time many automobiles filed
with men, probably 100 in all, were on
the ground. The barn could not be
saved, but by hard work the house, only
a short distance away, was saved. The
loss is estimated at $1,000, partially
covered by insurance. The flames from
he building lighted up the wholescoun-
,ryside, and could be seen from great
distance.

A SPOONFUL OF
SALTS RELIEVES
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, says
noted authority.
If back hurts or Bladder
bothers, stop all meat
for a while.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
II generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says q we'll

acid, which overworks the kidneys In
their effort 10 filter II from the blood
and they become sort Of paralyEed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels,
remove all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick head
ache, dizzy spellsi your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twlnRes. The urine Is cloudy, full Of
sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are Obliged TO
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once, or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful In a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts Is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithin, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
ncutralize acids in the urine so II no
longer irrtates, thus ending bladder
weaknesses.

The audience. which packed the au-
ditorium. listened to speeches by Fire
Commissioner Adamson and Comp
troller Prendergast with conventional
manifestation OF interest. Its great
desire was TO hear the Mayor explain
his action In forcing the city garbage
plant on staten Island. They meant
to demand that explanation.
The Mayor came. talked OF an en-
tirely different subject, and Staten
Island forgot all about the garbage
plant.
The keynote OF loyalty was sounded

his words had evoked. He had men

FARM MULES
FOR MONEY
Livestock Men Can Well Plan
For Better Conditions In
the Near Future

An S00-pound mule can be produced
at net profit of $29. A 1,1O0-pound
mule can be producted at net profit
of $35. The 1,250-pound mule can be
produced at net profit of $50.
These are actual results obtained by
the Mississippi experiment station
after several years of work in breeding
mules.
This 1,250-pound mule, the large,
high-selling mule, can not be produced
from the ordinary light native mares,
no matter what kind of jack is used.
Prepare to add from Sc to $26 per
head additional profit to each mule you
are producing by lettering your mares
for the purpose.
They can be graded up quite rapidly,
no matter how inferior they may be,
by the use of properly selected draft
stallion to mate with them.
The FLIES resulting from such cross
ing will make ideal mule mares; will
themselves do more work and in every
way add to the value of your holding

Emergency Crops

AS a guide in meeting the crisis,
which is now confronting the South,
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which of course, must be
modified to suit local conditions:
Those cnops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage Of
cotton per pillow may be maintained,
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield. Lint will
bring a good price, and seed will prove
valuable because Of their oil. On a
25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
of cotton may be given each pillow, and
it is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn in which
should be planted peas, soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over to pasture or gathered for feed
At least two acres should be given to
soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for
hay. One acre for grazing; one acre
for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
Of vegetables. This will give total
of rs acres, and represents only the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately af-
ter some of these are harvested.
Everything bearing upon large
yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared I;
the best known varieties used; the
right kind and. liberal amounts of fer
tilizer applied, and thorough cultiva-
ton given.
This is OF special importance over
much Of the South where the soils are
lacking in soluble plant foods Not
less than 400 to 500 pounds of fertil-
izer should be used per acre on the
crops suggested.
On account Of the car shortage and
the farmers inability to secure ample
fertilizer to put under their crops at
the time the land was being prepared,
it is recommend that liberal side
application of fertilizer be used on all
crops already planted. Increase OF crop
yields will come with increase in guam
tity Of fertilizer used.

In time of war the interests of the
army come first Regular commerce
must give way to troop trains, ammu-
nitions and army freight in general.
At such times the wants of people can
not be readily supplied. Forethinking
people will, therefore, prepare against
1t.
The Southern farmer is facing this
situation. What ought he to do?
Railroads have been hauling mil
lions of dollars worth of food prod
ucts to the South each year. Recently
there have been occasional "famines"
in some of these articles because of
the inability of the railroads to haul
all they were offered. In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted.
What then might be the result of
car shortage more acute than has ever
been experienced?
How would Southern cities be fed?
Where would the Southern farmer who
raises only cotton, get food? Grave
possibilities are, therefore, confronted.
They are probabilities if immediate
steps are not taken.
How can such disaster be fore
stalled? Only by the Southern farm
er growing foodstuffs as we'll as cot
ton. He can do it, 1t is his duty to
do it. 1t is his patriotic service. In
doing this piece of work he will be
one Of the most useful units In the
army of defense.
At this time it is as important for
the Southern farmer to enlist to pro-
duce food crops as 1t Is for the young
men of the South 10 enlist as soldiers.
1t will be easy to get men for the aRNy
1t should be easy to get men to raise
farm crops. Let Southern farmers
: rally to the call. Let them become
Home Guards by producing this sum-
mer such crops as corn, cowpeas,
sweet potatoes, beans, sorghum, pea
nuts, soy beans, velvet beans and such
garden crops as tomatoes, turnips,
cabbage, onions, Irish potatoes - by
raising hogs, poultry - by producing
eggs, milk, butter - by preserving
berries, fruits, vegetables and do
all this not only for themselves, but
produce enough to have some to sell.
Efficiency and maximum crops are
what the national leaders are calling
for This means making every lick
count to the utmost 1t means good

LET NE WALK WITH THE
MEN IN THE ROAD


'Tis only half truth ne poet has sung
or the house by the side of the
way"
Our Master had neither a house nor q
home,
But he walked with the crowd day
by day
And | think, when read of the poets
desire.
That house by the road would be
good;
But service is found in its tenderest
When we walk with the crowd in the
road.
So say, let me walk with the men in
the road,
Let me seek out the burdens that
crush,
Let me speak a kind word of good
cheer to the weak
Who are falling behind in the rush.
There are wounds to be healed, there
are DIGhh6 We must menu,
There's a cup of cold water to give;
And the man in the road by the side
of his friend
Is the man who has learned to live.
Then tell me no more of the house by
the road;
There is only one place can live.
It's there with the men who are toiling
along,
Who are needing the cheer / car
give.
It is pleasant to live in the house by
the way
And be a friend, as the poet has
said;
But the Master is bidding US, Bear we
their load,
For your rest waiteth yonder ahead"
| could not remain in the house by the
road
And watch as the toilers go on,
Their faces beclouded with pain and
with sin,
So burdened, their strength nearly
gone.
I'll go to their side, I'll speak in good
cheer,
I'll help them to carry their load;
And I'll smile at the man in the house
by the way,
AS walk with the crowd in the road
Out there in the road that goes by the
house,
Where the poet is singing his song,
I'll walk and I'll work midst the heat
of the day,
And I'll help falling brothers along
Too busy to live in the house by the
way,
Too happy for such an abode.
And my heart sings its praise to the
Master of all,
Who is helping me serve in the road
