Acknowledged Enemies.

War and booze are acknowledged
enemies. The soldier and the saloon
are poor comrades. The California
state senate has just voted to close
the saloons and outlaw hard liquors
in that state. Maine has just decid-
ed to Jail convicted rumsellers in
stead of letting them off with fine.
The Vermont legislature proposes
to forbid the granting of all second
class licenses during the existing
state of war. We may be able to
win double victory by depcsing
King Booze as well as the Kaiser.
If so, our fighting will not be in vain
in the interests of liberty and human
ity.-St. Johnsbury Republican.

worth Of food saved each day will mean
in a year enough to equip billion dollars
worth of navy. The wasting of food
stuifs is a fault of the American people
which the Committee will try to stop to a
large degree in the coming months The
larger towns are forming local committees
for food production and conservation
Gov. Graham asks these organizations to
affiliate with the State Committee thus
avoiding duplication of effort, and in
order that information may be furnished
the smaller organizations.
Cooperation of every person in the
State is needed if Vermont retains, her
record of years gone by. Miss L. M.
Cobb has charge of the canning depart
ment for girls, through the contributions
of thoughtful woman, while an expert
in agriculture will be provided at the ex-
pense of an equally thoughtful man in
the State. Colleges, high schools and
agricultural schools are cooperating. Di-
plomas will be granted to those boys who
enter into the work in the next few days
They will be able to enter any of our
New England colleges on the certificates
issued by our High Schools. DR.. Hille-
gas, Commissioner Of Education, with the
approval of the Board of Education, has
placed his entire department at the SER
vice of the Public Safety Committee,
which does away with the over head ex-
pense of forming a special organization
that some States are carrying. A metal
badge bearing the inscription The Green
Mountain Guards" will be given each boy
or girl raising food stuifs,

Vermont will try to grow enough
Food to Support Herself.

The Vermont Committee of Public
Safety is leaving no stone unturned tC
insure an increased product in Vermont
Vermont voted a million dollars for mill
tary purposes. She is doing an even big
ger thing in the way of food prollction
and conservation. The response to this
call is exceeding the approval given the
legislature for voting the big appropria-
ton which made Vermont a synonymous
term for patriotism over the whole
country. On every hand Mr.. Metzger,
Director, and DR.. Hilcyas Commissioner
of Education, are receiving the endorse
ment and hearty cooperation of patriotic
Vermonters.
Food conservation is the biggest prob
lem which tile Committee of Public Safety
has tackled and Elk Gov. Gates is giving
freely too of his time in explaining it to
the people Of the state. Rallies are be-
ing arranged More speakers are needed
to tell the story. Sunday afternoon was
pltriotic day in st Johnsbury, when sew
eral speakers told how much Vermont
leads other States in this work. Unless
there is a substantial increase in pro-
production of food stuffs this season the
country will be unable to feed the warning
nations to the end. The growing of sta
pile vegetables is urged School superin-
tendents are giving freely of their time
Many will give up their vacations. As
many as 240O letters have been mailed in
a single day and the number bids fair to
increase as the work advances.
Men employed in shops, Offices and
mills who have two hours spare time
are urged to plant enough for their own
support in the coming winter. One cents

The House of Representatives or
ganized for the sixty-ffth Congress
with the election of Champ Clark
speaker, the vote being 217 for
Clark and 205 for Mann. In the
election of the standing committees
of the House and joint standing COM
mittees, only the states of Massachu-
settes and Connecticut in New Eng
land are represented by members
and these are Democrats. Not a
republican member of the House
from New England is on these COM
mittees. Considerable partisan isn't
it? With House nearly even in
membership between the two great
parties, and the nation at war, it
would hardly be step towards that
unity of action called for by the
Democratic leaders at the time of
organization, to thus ignore the
minority when so much was at stake.
However, the Republicans are over
looking this-they are more than
partisans at this time of the nations
crisis-and coming Loyalty to the
support of the President, although
he may ignore them and refuse to
take them into his counsels. We
are Americans first, but it hurts
lust a little to be so completely ig-
nored by brothers in a common

To the Editor
Through your columns please warn the
farmer, grocer and local dealer against
selling seed potatoes or beans to SPECU-
LATORS Such SPECTATORS are
in the field NOW and are cornering the
market. The seed supply for potatoes
and beans now in Vermont is greatly
needed to meet our own demands. An
urgent appeal to the patriotism of the
dealers will aid materially.

Commissioner Hillegas is going
about the work of establishing junior
high schools in a thorough, practical
way. He insists upon starting right
and will have only trained teachers
in these schools. We believe they
will be a great step in Vermont's ed
vocational advancement. Why can
not we have a junior high school
here? Surely we should not be in
the rear of this progress in school
work. A junior high school and our
excellent high school would give
scholars in this vicinity an opportun-
ity to fit themselves for a work ad-
apted to their individual tastes.
There would be no misfts in this
work, each student would be pre-
pared for congenial occupation,
and enabled to make the most of
themselves in life's work. Let's
not forget we can have-should
have-a junior high school. We owe
this to our boys and girls.

Let's be a booster. Just center
your thoughts on good things. Con-
slider what is lacking for the best in
terests of our community, morally,
socially, industrially, and then boost
to change these conditions and place
the best village, in the best town, in
the best county, in the best state,
in the best country in the front ranks
of progress. Be loyal to your COM
munity. There should be none quite
as good as your own. Stop knocking!
The finest gold comes only from a
repeated refining process, but we
forget the dross in the beauty of the
pure metal. So in our community
work remember only the bad as an
element to be cast out in a refining
process that centers our efforts on
getting the pure gold. Talk about
your community, tell its good points,
work to make it keep up the stand
ard you have set for it-but cast into
the great abyss of oblivion the words
that righteous indignation prompt
you to shout from the house-top.
Work, work. Be a booster!

Whale Meat Tastes as Good as Beef.

Several kinds of new sea food are be-
ing put on the market" says the Novem-
Der Woman's Home Companion. The
writer of the article on sea food says:
Whaling is not what it used to be,
but there are still some one thousand
five hundred of them killed each year on
the Pacific coast In the body of each
of these whales there is ten thousand
pounds of first class meat. The Japanese
whalers retrieve this meat and find ready
market for it at home. The American
whaler throws it away.
ut is fact not currently appreci-
ated that the whale is not a fish. Its
flesh has no fishy taste whatever. The
whale is warm blooded animal, Is a
mammal which suckles its young. Its
flesh is therefore comparable with that
of other mammals such as the cow; it
is steak
IAN enterprsing whaler last season
brought some whale meat into Seattle
and placed it in the butcher shops and
had it served at the hotels. 1t sold for
ten cents a pound, and the hotels served
steaks for forty cents that would have
rost a dollar-ffty had they been beef,
Gents ate of the whale meat and pro-
bounced it as good as beef. Last year,
also, the same experiment was tried ut
Long Beach, California, and the whale
neat sold readily in the butcher shops
md was liked by consumers. So it is
earnestly urged, in these trying times,
hat housekeepers and hotels use the
teak of these | 800 whales. which is
quail in nutritive value to the meat of
5000 prime porkers."
