reports wooden mills are employed to

plants report steady demand with
plants operating to capacity. There IS
more active demand for garments and
overalls Business is coming in more
freely from southern points. There is
a heavy demand for white goods
products, shipping facilities being the
only drawback. Knit goods and ho4
siery plants have a large volume of
business on hand. Slate manufacture
ers report the falling off in building
work has affected demand for roofing
slate, but mill stock orders on hand
arc being taken care of as rapidly as
possible. New business in this line is
classed as fair. Demand for furniture
and veneer products is active. Pro-
duction of tubs is up to normal for
the period. The prices offered for
pulp wood have attracted some labor
in that direction. Considerable BUSH
ness will be done in the woods this
coming season if labor can be secured.
Some lumbermen, however, are of the
opinion that shortage of labor will af-
feet the total amount of lumber cut.
Some men are being brought into the
state from city points. The cool
weather of the week has helped retail

counties of the state. In spite of the
damage to potato crop by rust, rot
and blight, the yield is expected to
be large and prices range from one
to one and one-haf dollars a bushel

As whole, however, the receipts at

is ASSIGNED TO
103D INFANTRY
Chaplain Paul d. Moody of Former
First Vermont VIII Sec
Service in France

Chaplain, First Lieutenant) Paul
Dwight Moody has been assigned to
the 103d infantry now at Camp Bart
lett, Westfield. Mass, which appoint
ment undoubtedly means that he will
go to France. Among other assign
ments announced was that of Major
Walter o. Cooley of the first Vermont
infantry to be supervisor of the guard.
1t has been stated that there is
general regret among the Vermont
boys that they should lose their chap
lain. 1t was hoped that Chaplain
Moody would be assigned to the 101st
ammunition train of the 26th division
to which large per cent of Green
Mountain boys have been sent.
The feeling of all was aptly express
ed by a member of the former comp
any d who was home on leave. 1t
was said, not in fault finding man
ner, but in sheer regret at the things
happening to the first Vermont in
fantry.
This soldering is one DIN thing
after another. First they smash our
companies, then juggle our officers
and then they even take our chaplain.
Someone stated that there was no
cause to kick as chaplain would be
assigned to his regiment He replied
quickly. So there will, but it won't be

St. Johnsbury to Cooperate
This Week in State
Wide Campaign

St. Johnsbury will observe Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week as days
on which, no white bread will be
served in la large per cent of hotels,
restaurants, and private families. It is
thought there will be a general ac-
quiescence here to the request of the
state food administrator
The adoption of the plan by New
England foo& administrators to OBJ.
serve Wednesdays and Thursdays as
days on which no. white bread should
be served has been successfully car
ried out in other states and this week
the plan goes into effect in Vermont. /
Proprietor Palmer of the New Ave-
nue. Hotel stated that he should OBJ
serve the days at his hostelry and said

restaurants can do toward national
economy is to adhere to the reques.
of the food. commissioner and not
serve wheat bread on the days desig-
mated" He added, land I will have
the fact printed on our menu cards"
Other. eating places. will also serve
some substitute for white bread. Som
restaurants are to an extent handi,
capped by a contract with their baker
for certain amount of bread each
day, but it is thought the proprietors
of those places will endeavor to make
some arrangement to supply a substi-
tute.
Private families, it is expected, will
give the idea the notice and co-opera-
ton as. has been given in other

To the sound of martial music the
procession continued to the depot
where relatives and friends gathered
closely around the departing men
keeping them busy with handshakes.
while they endeavored to make the
parting less keenly felt. Even per-
sons nearest the heart of those who
were leaving endeavored to keep
smiling, while they were here, but as
the train pulled out from the station
and the local men mingled with the
other conscripts from the northern
counties who were in the special car,
tears that could not be kept back
wealed to the eyes of those losing

The city substitutes for chores are

year-old boys on his yeranda, one OF
them his son. They talked Of gymna-

thought of the contrast between their
leisurely organized play and the pre-

Athletics are a useful substitute. Boy
craft as applied to the cities, does
in fact make the Boy Scouts the chores
boys of the great community. But ath-
ietics and scoutcraft. when all is said
and done, are not work. And the whole-
some part about chores is that they
teach children the elementary lesson
that life is a little holiday entirety
surrounded by work, instead of q lit
tie work entirely surrounded by hofl-
day.
The eternal routine OF cleaning
horses, feeding pigs, milking cows,
splitting kindling, Juggling coal, wash

bles, emptying ashes, hoeing the gar-

KNITTED TRIMMING.

A PPARENTLY we have all grown
~ SO used to knitting that we Just
cannot stop doing It. At least, one %
justified in such an inference from the
number OF knitted accessories and the
forms of knitted trimming one sees
nowadays in the shops. To begin win
the vogue of the knitted wool sweater
is by no means finished. Women stop In
their war work Of making socks ana
mufiiers now and then to knit = sweater
for themselves OF some gay yarn.
Perhaps the newest thing is the
wooden coat with trimmings OF knittsd
yarn. Some OF these coats are vexy
smart. They are expensive, too. for. u
course, the knitted work Is hand donh
and they are also a novelty. Ono Of -
dark, dull green cloth shows Sleeves
pockets and a waistcoat front Of knits
ted green worsted. Others have only
collar. cuffs and belt or collar, CUTS and
good many have vests or watstcoAts
of it. s-.s
Some of the new biouses of georgette
crepe are embroidered in wool OF vari.
GUS colors-quite effectively. too.
Another novelty Is the georgette
blouse with collar and cuffs OF KNITTED
worsted. The collar is of the etand-ap
neatly snug with band OF black ve1@
vet or ribbon. The cuffs are elastic, OF
course, and cling closely to the wrists.
