PRODUCTION OF FOOD

Orleans, April 15.-FolloWng the
example of Selectman A. f. Lawrence
of st. JohnsbUry, II. w. Buchanan OF
this place has notified The CALEDO-
MAN that, if q sufficient number en-
ter into the plan to make it practical
ne will prepare land on his meadow
to be divided into quarter acre sec
tons for the purpose of raising crops
of cabbages and beans, or potatoes.
The men are asked to furnish seed
and raise the crops on shares, Mr..
Buchanan to furnish fertilizer from
his stable. This is q splendid oppor-
tunity to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing and viii also help to preventive
food scarcity which is threatened.

w. J. BiocloW

Mr. BigeloW told Of the work of
Tic committee and it's sub committees
and the prominent part that the Green
Mountain state is playing in the ma
TONS hour Of need. He told of the
probability, of the raising of another
regiment of infantry and of the hun
dreds of offers that the committee had
received from men in every walk Of
l:fe to serve their country in any pos
sible way.
Among some Of the branches OF
work being done by the committee of
public safety emphasized by Mr.. Bige-
low was that of the production and
conservation of food in Vermont and
the work of relief for dependents Of
t the men who go to the front.
The speaker told of an appropria-
ton the committee had made for work
! along the former lines in the public
schools and emphasized its great i'm
, portance with the statement that the
present supply of food was sufficient
only to last until the first of June.
Speaking Of the relief work Mr..
BigeIow called attention to the fact
! that the million dollars appropriated
by the state was merely for use by the
{
ment of the state troops in the nation
al army. He further stated that the
! committee had made large appropria-
! tons for the work Of relief and other
| departments in full confidence that the
/ patriotic citizens of Vermont would
/ quickly supply the necessary money.
Chaplain Stone Speaks
Chaplain Stone of the recruiting g
party of the naval reserve which ar
/ rived in ST. Johnsbury Thursday was
! the next speaker. The Chaplain eX-
planned the naval reserve as being a
body entirely separate from the navy
but auxiliary to it. He explained that
it was unlike the regular army and
I regular navy as the duties did no;
! require Il long term of training, two
Or three months being enough to pre-
pare the most inexperienced for the
| work. He emphasized the danger OF
submarine attacks at any time an6
the imperative need of many men t6
arm the mosquito fleet of Submar-
inc chasers which might be needed il
a very short time, and which are alb
solutely essential to the safety of the
coast. He explained that patriotism
should come first but the question O.
personal advantage was also to be con
sidered, pointing out that enrollmen
in the naval reserve carried $12 with
it and the best pay of any arm o.
service, military or naval. He con
cluded by saying that his party would
be in st. Johnsbury for a few day:
to enroll men for the reserve and tha

back as 1911 Germans had frankl,
