SAVE THE TREES.
The White Pine Blister Rust and .
Warning and an Appeal.


The American Forestry association
has issued warning and appeal for
cooperation In lighting the disease
known as the white pine blister rust
that threatens the destruction OF all
the white pine ana other five leaved
pine trees in the United States.
This disease has already appeared in
Maine, New HAMPSHIRE. Vermont.
Massachusetts, Connecticut. Rhode Is
land, New York. New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin. Minnesota and in
Quebec and Ontario.
There Is no known cure for II. II
kills the white pines infected, and IL
spreads steadily. The spores or seeds
are blown from diseased pines to cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. They
terminate on the leaves of these
bushes. The leaves then produce mil
lions of spores or seeds of the disease,
which are blown by the wind from the
bushes TO the pines, and these, even
those several miles distant from the
nearest bushes. are infected. become
diseased and die.
The white pines In New England are
worth S75,O00,O00, in the lake states
S96,OO0,O0O, I'm western states SG0,0OO,-
600 and In the national forests $780,
100000, or a total OF S261 100000
Unless the ravages Of the white pine
blister rust are stopped these pines
will be destroyed.
The American Forestry association
urges people in all the regions where
the disease has been discovered to de-
stroy at once all currant and goose
berry bushes, diseased pines and 9th
ers exposed TO infection. This will
help stop the spread of the disease.

The Constitution.

The constitution Is either a superior
paramount law, Interchangeable by ordi
nary means. or IL is on "A level with
ordinary legislative acts and, hike 9th

ture shall be pleased to alter 1t.
Certainly all those who have framed
written constitutions contemplate them
as forming the fundamental and par

Farm DePartrnent

take food supplies from any family.
Both the Food Administration and
the Department Of Agriculture join
in a statement to counterfeit what
seems to be a deliberate propaganda
TO the effect that the Government in
tends to take fran every family all
canned goods put up in excess Of 100
quarts.
This is only one of the variations
of the rumor, which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is
that the Government has been urg-
ing the canning, drying, and pre-
serving of fruits and vegetables so
that they will be in convenient form
for the Government to handle and
transport when it takes them away
from the people. Further elabora-
ton is that these goods are to be
taken away from the American homes
and shipped to England.
In one instance a motorist stop
ped at a farmhouse to fliil the radia-
tor Of his automobile. In the course
of the conversation he casually in
uuired whether the farmers family
was canning all the surplus fruits and
vegetables in order to help conserve
the food supply. He was informed
that the farmer was not doing this
because the Government intended to
take all the canned goods away ex-
cept small part of it actually need
ed by the family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been
contemplated by the Government.
On the contrary, both the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Food
are strongly urging
housewives to can and preserve. es-
pecially at this time, all surplus
fruits and vegetables thus keeping
themselves out of the ranks of de-
pendent consumers who have to draw
upon the general supply.

Guard Against Frost.

Don't watch the moon for signs OF
the first frost; watch the Weather
Bureau. And when the warning
from the forecaster comes, as it usu-
ally will from "a to As hours in adj
vance, look to the protection of the
garden produce which is not yet un-
der cover. There are a number of
WAYS to forestall the surprise at
tacks of this Jack Frost person, and
representatives of the United States
Weather Bureau, realizing that a
good deal more produce will be sub
ject to loss from frost this fall than
even before, have advised early pre-
paredness on the part of farmers.
Prepare Protective Coverings.
First, the specialists suggest, pro-
tective coverings should be made
ready. Vegetables can not scamper
TO cover, but the gardener can scam
per covering to the vegetables ana
perhaps save a winters supply in a
short time if he is prepared. old
blankets, tarpaulin, sacks, straw,ma-
nure, paper, and various other ma
terials may be used for covering. Inc
conditions favorable for the forma-
ton of early frost in fall are usual
" of short duration and consequent
" protective measures ordinarily Will
have to be employed only for day
or two. After the first fall frost
there is generally return to normal
temperatures for a number OF days
possibly for a week or more, during
which time immature vegetables that
have been protected will continue 20
grow or ripen.
When frost is imminent and pro-
lection is not possible or practicable
vegetables likely to be injured should
be gathered and canned, dried, pick
led, preserved or stored THOSE
that can not be saved from exposure
to freezing should, il possible be
gathered before thawing takes place.
In the case of potatoes, especially
sweet potatoes, all vines should be
cut off at the surface OF the ground
after the occurrence of frost.

County Agents Count.

The right sort of a county agent
is what his title implies-the trust
ed agent, friend, and counselor of
the farmers with whom he works.
He is not an outsider with quanti-
ties of advice, but sympathetic
helper of his own people. learning by
doing.
Folks in some shiftless cOmmuni-
ties are said to exist by taking in one
another's washing; thrifty commun-
tiles, with a county agent leader. be-
come more thrifty by going 10 school
to each other and learning the best
methods of all.
The demonstration fostered by
an able county agent lead to COM
munity ideals, community spirit, and
community teamwork.
Home sanitation. home water sup
ply, sewerage disposal, abatement of
the fly nuisance, vegetable gardening,
home canning, improvement of the
home grounds, betterment of cooking
and sewing, and food conservation
are all parts of the work which wo-
men home demonstration agents can
help do.
The country church, supported by
a few families, has been known to
grow and prosper under the influence
Of the community spirit generated

Facts About the Dollar.

When you break a dollar the pieces
disappear mysteriously.
A dollar spent is far smaller than a
dollar saved.
Doubling a dollar is far harder than
dividing it.
A dollar thrown away can never
again be found.
A borrowed dollar is never so big as
a dollar Baltimore sun.

Useful Curtain Suggestion.

The small metal Office clips so handy
for keeping papers pinned together will
be found exceedingly useful for clip
ping up the curtains at night. The
advantage over pins in preventing cur
tains from blowing out the screenless
windows at night is that the clips leave
NO telltale holes.

TO SAVE SOLDIERS SUBSCRIBE TO
THE Y. NJ. C. A. WAR FUND.

In common with the people throughout
the entire nation Barre people are called
upon this week to make contribution
toward the war work being done by the
Y. M. C. A. both in Europe and in the
United States. 1t is conceded by all that
the Y. M. c. A. is doing splendid, even
necessary, work in conjunction with
the soldiers of our own nation and of
our allies The Y NJ. C. A. is not contin-
ing its attention to spreading religious
tracts among the men but it is branching
out into field of operation of such far
reaching possibilities that 1t may conf
IDENTIFY be said that the organization is
indispensable. Letters from the soldiers
testify to the wholesome attractions
placed before them by the Y. NJ c. A.;
officers in command of the men say that
the work is bound to go far toward win
ming the war. The chief purpose of the
Y. NJ. c. A. is to keep the attention Of
the soldiers off duty riveted on things

which will prove to their advantage and
to prevent them from falling into the
evils which 60 with soldier life away
from the field of battle. II is well known
that the soldiers are constantly being
sent back from the firing line in order
to permit them to rest and to recover
from the shock of battle; and it is to
occupy their attention during these pc
RODS of inactivity that the Y, M, C. A.
is bending great efforts, This work is
being directed by Americans, largely,
who have had special training or who
are undergoing instruction along that
line, large number of men having vol
unteered for this service, among them
Rev. Dr. j. W. Barnett of our own city.
In order to carry on this work an enor-
nous sum of money is needed; and the
directors of the war work council have
asked for S35,000,000 as the basis for
the operations. This total has been ap.
portioned among the states and, in turn,
divided by the states into town or city
quotas. This division and subdivision
have whitfield the amounts down to a
point where it seems that each and every
community ought to be able to raise the
amount desired. Like the others, Barre
should raise its amount and much more;
and if the people of the community will
take into consideration the splendid work
which their money Is asked to do they
will readily respond to the appeal. So
when the canvassers come around on
Wednesday do not put them off with ex
cuses, but subscribe few dollars, if you
are not able to give larger sum, to this
work of saving soldiers and winning the
war. 1t should be thoroughly understood
that there is NO sectarianism in this
matter, for the money goes to all soldiers
regardless of their creed or church af.
and, moreover it should be
borne in mind that the government at
Washington has given its approval Of
the plans. Therefore, let Barre go over
the top" in this work, just as 1t has done
in other work connected with the war.
