Mr.. TAYLOR in his speech voiced the
sentiments Of all present, when ne
stated: 1.-The boy who sheds sweat IN
the garden is equal to the man who
sheds blood in the field of battle. =
To make the people realize the aD-
solute necessity of food in the country
Mr. Taylor gave some figures which
show very clearly the present con-
ditions as against those of two years
ago He gave the wheat shortage
as against that of 1915 as "a per cent:
the corn shortage as 81 percent; the
barley shortage aas 25 percent; the
potato supply as against the average
amount on hand January 1st, Sd per
cent He then took up the difference
in prices as against those of 1915.
giving the price of beans now as 15
cents quart as against seven cents
in 1915; the price of onions now IL
cnts a pound as against three and one
half cents in 1915; potatoes as rs
cents a peck as against % cents In
1915. In his talk Mr.. Taylor voiced
the sentiments of all present, and was
given loud applause which demon
strated the appreciation of the aud
ienc.
Frank Brooks then took the floor
and announced that already 125 men
of the Fairbanks force had agreed
to take lots of one-eighth acres each
to cultivate and care for during the
coming season. He then asked that
a collection be taken up for the ben
eft of the ST. Johnsbury Academy
c. 3. Club, which is doing Red Cross
work. Hats were passed and the very
generous contribution for this work
was $50.40.
Mr.. Brooks then introduced Dr.
Milo B. Hillegas, Commissioner of
Schools for the State of Vermont,
Dr.. Hillegas delivered but a short adj
dress, dwelling for the greater part
on the production and conservation OF
food, and the necessity of preparation
for a long war. He said that the real
enemies, the ones to cause most harm
at the present time, were the agitat-
ors, who cry that the war will last
but a short time and that all prepar-
alton for eventualities is merely vast
ed time and money. DR.. Hillegas
stated that when the European war
first started it was claimed on all sides
that the conflict could not last longer
than three months, that the treasur-
les could not support it., and that the
people could not. But, he stated, al
most three years have passed and the

SUGGESTIONS ON
SPECIAL CROPS
Extension Service of The
u. v. M. Gives Some
Advice

The extension service of the Uni
versity of Vermont offers suggestions
on some special garden crops.
Okra is a warm season crop, grown
quite generally in the south, where it
is a fayorite dish cooked alone or
with tomatoes. 1t is also canned with
tomatoes for winter soup stock. The
immature pods are the part used for
food and when cooked they exude
large amount of muciiasinous sub
stance, making the cooked vegetable
one of peculiar texture. The tender
pods are crisp and have nutty flavor.
The mucilaginous material is desir-
able for adding consistency to soup.
Long Green or White Velvet are good
varieties of Okra to try. Soak the
seed over night and plant at the sea-
son for corn and beans. Make the
rows three to four feet apart. Set
plants Is inches apart in the row and
cultivate with other crops. The pods
must be picked when four or five
inches long, before they get hard and
woody.
Kohl Rabi is vegetable which
looks like q cross between cabbage
some people superior to either. The
leaves look like cabbage, and the
edible part is a turnip above ground.
Leave plenty of space in planting and
grow the same as turnips. Grow
quickly and cook when the size of
hens eggs and serve creamed or as
turnips.
Egg plant is vegetable which
should be grown more largely. Peo-
pie who have once eaten it usually
call for it frequently as it has a rich,
individual flavor. Three to six plants
will be sufficient for the small garden
and plants should be started and
handled the same as the tomato. The
large purple varieties are frequently
seen in market and people wonder
what they are. The fruit is cooked in
several ways, among which are the
following: Slice one-half inch thick
soaked in salt water one hour, boiled
tender. rolled in cracker crumbs and
fried in butter; steam or bake. the
whole fruit and serve in the SHE'LL to
be eaten with salt, pepper and butter.
Celeriac is q turnip rooted celery,
the enlarged root being the edible
norton 1t is used chiefly for flavor
ing soups and making salads, and al
so may be creamed and served as a
side dish, or dried and grated for use
as celery f1avoring. The culeure is the
same as for celery, except that it re-
quires no blanching. The roots may
be stored in sand in the cellar for
winter use. Try a few of these newer
vegetables and learn to know and rel
ish them.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
notice in the last issue of the In
dicator that the Rev. T. c.. Phillips,
in his "Union Locals" refers to the
pastor and members of Saint Paul
Baptist church as being unlawful, ir-
regular and disorderly.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we plead not
guilty. The Saint Paul Baptist church
was organized by the executive board
of the Pacolet River Association after
careful and prayerful consideration of
all questions affecting the faith, doc
trine and practice of the Baptist
church. When the Pacolet River AS
sociation met in its last session with
the Bethesda Baptist church at San
tuck, S. c., st. Paul church sent in
its application to join the Pacolet
River Association. The church was
then placed in the hands of the COM
mittee on new bodies and after this
committee had carefully reviewed the
case of st. Paul church, voted unani-
mously for its entrance into the asso-
citation.
The Pacolet River Association is
one among the oldest bodies of the
Baptists (colored) of this state, and
its reputation for strict adherence to
the doctrine and principles of the
grand old church is unimpeached.
Again, Mr.. Editor. this Rev. T. c.
Phillip was expelled from the Pacolet
River Association; and he has
not been restored to the conf
dence of the brotherhood. Now tell
me, is he a fit person to pass upon
the Christian character of another?
Corinth Baptist is one of the Oldest
churches of Pacolet River Association,
and it has never been known to be
church of confusion, to which such
eminent ministers as j. G. White, ID.
D., A. r. Robertson, D. d., and others
will attest.
Now, Mr.. Editor, and all whom =
may concern, when Rev. T. c. Phillips
became pastor of Corinth church then
autocratic and undemocratic rules got
in the church through the manage
ment of Rev. T .C.LPhillips, and after
year or more of confusion and strife
the members of st. Paul Baptist
church to sustain the doctrine and
principles of the church, and their in
dividual character, drew out. Again
the members of st. Paul Baptist
