EVERYBODY PLANTING
People Realize Vital Need of Raising
Big Crops.

The campaign for more acres IN
der cultivation. more gardens, more
work in the fields is having its effect.
All along the railroad and trolley lines
and along the highways, travellers see
more land being plcwed in towns in
this section of Windham county than
ever before and the result is pleas
ing.
That the plea for big crops is a vi
tai one has been driven home to many
working men by the extraordinary rise
in prices of various food stuffs even
within the last three weeks. With po-
tatoes at 81 a bushel. flour at $3.50
a barrel and other articles in like pro-
portion no stronger argument is need
ed to induce men to go out into the
fields and try growing something on
their own account.
There isn't a chance of producinc
too much food stuff this year, for this
country has other nations to feed, so
the call of those who ara urging ag
riculturaI work upon the multitude is
for more and even more planting.

MAKES INSULT
 ING STATEMENT

Washington, Feb. 13-Dr. George Barthelme, Washinoton correspond ent Of the Cologne Gazette, after a conference with Counsellor Polk decided to return home with Am passador Bernstorff. The Doctor Is responsible for the suggestion from Germany that she was willing to negotiate, formally or informally, with the United States, provided th4 the commercial blockade against England was not broken.
 There is bitter resentment in Ad- ministration circles over this state ment, where it is characterized as an insult, in view of the Presidents address to the Congressmen an- nouncing the breaking off of rela- tions and it is also claimed that the offer was predicated on a statement sent by pr. Barthelme to his news paper which has an official status, that he had the highest authority for the declaration that if Germany would agree not to sink American ships friendly relations could be re- stored. .-'
