Vermont.

80 far as numbers 20, Vermont is a
small state-36O,000 people. Only six
states III the Union have fewer. But
the governor Of this trim, fighting lit
tie bantam has asked the legislature
for 100000 that Vermont may bear
"morc than its share OF the duty of
national defense.
No other state, not even those ten
times as big, have appropriated more.
In proportion TO population, Vermont
has far outclassed all the rest. 1--WE
always have done more than our share,
you know says the governor, with
simple pride. Righto, governor. The
record says 50, and it begins with Ethan
, Allen and some Of Stark S men and
runs straight, fine and true Americanism
all the way down.
More than our share. That s
q good word. More than oun
| share, says Vermont, and makes nc
fuss about it, but starts in to do it
| If all the rest of us had the same 1880
lutte, nngrudging, ready-to-Serve snirit
how long would the old beast Of Prus
sian autocracy survive TO curse the
| world? Sixty days2 ri
Anyway, salute little old Vermont
Ola and always young, This governor
says it believes in action, not in words
Then salute it again, Salute anybody
that holds such doctrine and get:
busy on it.-Niagara Falls Gazette.

Farmers and Gardeners

All Realize Necessity for Preventing

Last Year to Put in 10 Acres.

1t looks as If the old earth would be
forced to give up more food i'll one sea
son than ever before in the history OF
this section of Vermont. Realization
that food crops are essential to life and
comfort has been borne in upon the
minds of young and old in the last few
weeks with the knowledge that there
| will be less of the most necessary com
modities to be bought, even at fabulous
prices, than at any time since the Civil
war.
! Not very long ago LYMAN t. Holden
offered through the Brattleboro papers
to provide 100 gardens free to boys who
would cultivate them. lie now adds the
information that the Crystal Springs Ice
Co. has offered to pillow them free of
charge and that about 30 boys have app
piled for gardens

the only limit he could imagine would b,
the ability to obtain fertilizer and Il
