fall. The colleges, high schools and agri'
cultural schools have taken hold OF the
plan with vim which gives those in the
work great encouragement. Every boy
and girl will receive liberal education in
the coming weeks relative to the subject
of food growing and conserving.
That nothing may be taken from the
states appropriation, $4,000 will be raised
by popular subscription for the work
which Mr. Metzger is doing. six
months campaign will be conducted, TAX
ing up growing, harvesting and market
ing produce. Plots of land will be set
aside for use by boys, while the girls
work will be canning and care of food
stufrs. Miss Cobb will have direct super
vision of this.
To each boy or girl who enters into the
work of the campaign will be given
metal badge making him or her mem
Der of the Green Mountain Guard, and to
those who stay through the test will be
presented by Gov. II. f. Graham and
Commissioner of Education NJ B. Hille-
gas, a certificate showing their accom-
plishments of the season.
Mr., Metzger is leaving no stone un-
turned to give every boy and girl in the
state chance to do something this year.
That this may be successfully carried
into effect it has been arranged that the
young people who cannot afford to buy
seed will have the same furnished them.
Already Mr.. Metzger has assurances OF
enough seed potatoes for the planting,
while beans enough for planting have
been purchased. Other seed that may be
grown will probably be handled in the
same manner.
District school superintendent in many
instances have agreed to do without va
cation this summer that they help in
this great effort, helping the boys wher-
ever they can do so. Many of the teach |
ers in the public schools are already max !
ing plans to cooperate in the summer
months. Both are spending of their time |

From the educational department have
been sent as many as 2,400 letters in

Of the state what is being done. These
viii increase as the season advances.
Practical results are what the depart
ment wants. Planting staple stuffs that
may be carried over to next year is urged.

grow enough staple food for their own

WOMAN KILLED BY TRAIN.
Mrs. Dolly Blake of Bennington Was
Sitting on the Track.

Bennington, April Is.-Mrs. Dolly
Blake of the Fairview road was struck
by an incoming train of the Chatha N
division of the Rutland railroad and
probably instantly killed yesterday. The
woman was first seen by both engineer
and fireman when the train was only
fifty feet away, and, as there is a sharp
curve at that point, it was impossible
to stop the train in time, although the
whistle was blown twice She was sit
ting on the track with her head in her
arms, apparently sound asleep. The
train was brought to a standstll with
in two car lengths and the body, which
was badly mangled, was placed in the
baggage car and brought to the local
station.
There it was taken in charge by Wal
bridge and brought to his undertaking
rooms. The dead woman was seen earl-
er in the forenoon by some workmen
walking along the track.
Mrs. Blake had been housekeeper at
the home of Martin Craven for the past
nine years or more. The only survivor
known of is a son, Ray Mclean, who is
employed on the Cluett estate in Will
Jamestown. The engineer was Il. S.
Sumner and the fireman Robert Stearns.

and Friday Sept. IS, 10, 20 and 81. Pres.
James b. Estee presided. Sec. Fred l..
Davis, who has been confined to the house
for three weeks, was out for the first time
and laid before the committee tentative
program of procedure.
The fair will take on a decided air OF
military preparedness. This early mill
tary aircraft has been engaged to show
the spectators how the aeroplane in
France is operated to the advantage Of
the army in the trenches. II is proposed
to have large number of the Vermont
home guards, now organizing in nearly
every community in the state, present
during the week, and prizes are to be Of
fered for the best equipped company, the
best companies in competitive drilling
and in other ways to give to the fair
military atmosphere.
The racing events will be strengthened
this season, larger purses being offered.
There are to be two $1,000 purses, one
for 2:lS trot and the other for 2:lS
pace and 5000 purse for a free-for all.
A new class is to be added to the horse
This viii admit hackneys,
Arabs, etc, and is expected to bring to
the fair a class of horses that have here
tofore been excluded.

! ara much intarast ha haau shoUn in tho
fair and the prospects, he said, were good
for the fair being the best ever held on

FOOD CAMPAIGN
IN VERMONT
Largely Increased Produc-
ton Is Hoped for as the
Result of 1t
MONEY SUBSCRIBED
BY PRIVATE PARTIES
Boys and Girls, as Well as
Others. Are Being
Appealed To

Under the supervision of Rev. Fraser
Metzger, director of food production and
conservation, cooperating with the state
board of education, every effort is being
put forth to help the Vermont public
safety committee in its efforts during the
coming months, that ex-Goy. G. w. Gates
may secure the best possible results when
the harvesting time comes next fall. On
every hand DR.. Hillegas and Mr.. Metzger
are receiving the endorsement and sup
port that no expense will be needed from
the state to carry out the program which
is probably the biggest yet undertaken
by the safety committee.
Two of Nermonts thoughtful persons
have contributed specially towards the
plans. A man has given a sum of money
to be used in mapping out the agricultur'
al work of the committee while woman
of means has given the money that Miss
L. NJ Cobb. who has been in charge of the
domestic science in the schools of Jeffer-
sonville. may take charge of the canning
of foods and fruits in the coming months.
Sums of money can be used for similar
purposes in other branches OF the work.
Already the department has ontgrown
its facilities, but this does not dampen
the ardor of those who are superntend
ing the movement and they viii give the
boys and girls Of Vermont an opportu
nifty in the coming months to show their
worth to the farmers of the state 1t is
one of the biggest problems yet attempt
ed by the public safety committee and
already those in charge are commencing
TO see results As the new branches de-
yelop the problems deepen. but from Mr..
Metzger. whom DR.. Hillegas drafted to
direct the work among the boys and girls,
they as well as their parents are getting
great deal of valuable information.
1t has come to the attention of the di |
rector of food production and conserva
ton that the people at large throughout |
Vermont are not taking the food produc- |
ton as seriously as it really is at the
present time. This is one of the draw
backs those in charge have to overcome
and on which the director and his asso
ciates will have to spend much time and
publicity, Speakers are being used when
availa BILE but the demand for these is
greater than the supply who understand
the situation. Rallies are being held and
other publicity given the work with prof
liable results.
Vermont stands out brighter than any
other state, for it was the first to realize
what was meant when the New England
colleges announced that certificates re-
ceived relative to students who have Civ
en- their time this spring in food growing,
would be accepted by the colleges as
part of the entrance to colleges this fall.

they are to adopt in the coming weeks
