Na.hnctcu. Dee 5.-Postma~ ter
General Rurcson III his annual report,
submitted 10 Congress today. declares
60 carnations of postal employees are
rapidly becoming q menace to public
Welfare and recommends that Congress
r,ueal the law that allows such en-
r'olCs To maintain organizations. The
law provides that the employees MAY
organic and become affiliated with
cther nod cs so long as they do not i'm
pose any obligation to engage or assist
IN a strike against the government.
Umphasizing tho need for unsclfsh
cooperation on all sides while the
country is in tho world war the Post
master General continues.
Notwithstanding this fact. and at
this critical period in our nations his
tory a. is rcgrcttablc to state that the
organized postal employees are making
many selfish demands and insisting
that they shall not hc required or per
united to worl, n excess Of the usua'
number of hours: also that their sal
aries hc permanently increased, al
though they arc Justly compensated
receiving moro than three times as
those fghtinC in the trenCes who must
II necessity suffer the hardships OF
warfare and sacrifice their all if neces-
sarN
Efforts Of these organizations along
other lines have been severely chiti-
cized by men in public life, as they at
tenpt to control political as we'll as
legislative matters and openly boast Of
The influence they claim To exert in IN"
nrtherancc Of their selfish interests.
AN outside organization has during
me past several wears attempted to
nnionize Government employees, in
,llding those in the Postal Service and
"a large number Of postal employees arc
now affiliated with il, and Others soon

such affiiation is believed to be con-
trary to the act of August "a, 1912.
The adyisability Of permitting Govern
ruent employees to affiliate with an
outside organization and use tho
-trike and boycott as last resort TO
enforce its demands is seriously ques-
Toned by those interested in the public
welfare.
Postal employees have become bold
necause Of this affiliation and have
within recent years threatened 10

While strikes in the postal service may
lie averted for the time being, Vet they

most serious situation-one which viii

WINTER WHEAT IN THIS COUNTY
Four-Acre Field in Putney Gave Good
Returns Should Winter in Other
Towns of This Latitude.

The four-acre field of winter wheat at
the Elm Leigh farm, Putney, threshed out
about 30 bushels per acre. With the
price of wheat where it has been Tor the
past few months this gives "A very good re-
urn per acre, considering the small amount
of labor necessary, and still futher returns
for the straw.
The small amount of winter wheat
grown in Windham county does not yet
Justify the Farm bureau in recommending
it to be grown generally, However, il it
will winter in Putney it should winter in
other towns of similar latitute with con
dtions equally good
II winter wheat is raised the following
suggestions will hold good Have the soil
in good condition. Wheat requires well
drained land and IA good state of fertility
A fair application of lime and 300 or 400
pounds of acid phosphate per acre, follow
ing IA heavy application of manure for the
crop the previous year will furnish idea
conditions The best seed is some which
has been grown locally with good success
| If this cannot be secured, winter wheat
grown in the central part of New Norl
state should prove the next best. Ont

| Dushel per acre Is lne amount usudliN no"h
Winter wheat may be sown as early a
Sept and probably as late as Sept. IL
Earlier sowing invites troubles from tn
Hessian fly and later sowing may resul
in winter killing.
Spring wheat seems to he doing well OF
10 number of farms. This crop require
about the same soil conditions as winte
wheat and if possible the land should b
lplowed the fall before and the whea
sown Just as early as the land can b

BAPTIST BIBLE SCHOOL RALLY.
Message from Pastor Elect, Rev. Mr..
Brownell-About $50 Given for Work
Among Soldiers.

The First Baptist Bible school held
it's rally Sunday. The day, although
threatening in the forenoon, did not
keep away as many as was feared, and
the chapel was filed, though not crowd
cl. The orchestra played the Lustspiel
and Magnolia overture at the opening.
REGULATIONS were given by Dorothy
wilkins and Miss Julia Simonds. Hen
ry Bond spoke briefly on the work of the
Baptist state convention, as this was
also the day upon which the officers of
the convention requested special empha-
sis upon helping the weaker churches of
the state.
The superintendent, Mr.. Hawley, read
p communication from the Northern
Baptist (nationaD convention asking for
special offering in order that the de-
nomination might do its part in the
Christian work being done in the can
onments and training camps, also among
, the troops in France, now and to be.
Although no previous announcement
had been made about $50 was given.
A very interesting letter from the
lpastor-elect, Rev. Clark T. Brownell of
Newark, n. j., conveying fluctuations
on the rally day and expressing a draw
ing toward the school based upon his
contact with it on the occasion of his
visit in July.
He said it was his wish that it may ne
a continued garden where the seed Of
the Word shall yield constant harvest.

Next week will be War Library Week
and Vermont is called upon to raise $780,
900 as its share of million dollars
to be contributed by popular subscrip-
tion from all of the states of the Union
to fund to be used in providing IL
braries for the soldiers and sailors. The
cause is a worthy one and it is the duty
of all stay themes to again come across
with cash to furnish help for the lads
who are to do the country's share in
winning the war. Most of us know
what solace and comfort a-readable
book is in times of mental stress. Our
boys in dangerous service thousands of
miles from home will not only suffer
physically, but there will be side of
mental anguish where the diversion of
the camp libraries will help, before and
after the trials of battlefield and partic
ularly when they are suffering from
wounds or stricken by illness.

FATALLY INJURED
ON MAIN STREET
Mrs. John W. Rhodes Run Over
by AnseI Pierce's Car
Skull and Right Arm Fractured and
Other Injuries Inflicted - Died Soon
After Reaching Hospital.

Mrs. Rena VI. Rhodes, 50, wife of
John w. Rhodes of Morningside GENE
terry road, was struck by an automo-
bile driven by Ansel J. Pierce while
crossing Main street shortly after 5
0 clock yesterday afternoon and re-
ceived injuries from which she died 20
minutes later at the Memorial hospital.
The accident occurred in front of the
Crosby block just north of Elliot street
and Mrs. Rhodes started to cross from
the east to the west side. Pierce was
going north and says that he saw the
woman and that she had gone far
enough to allow him to pass when
quicker than wink she turned and
stepped back directly in front of the
car.
Mrs. Rhodes was felled to the pave.
ment and pushed short distance be-
fore the car could be stopped one of
| the front wheels resting on her head.
This was removed by +. w. Fitzgerald
of Norwich, VT, who was close by and
an eye witness of the accident. He said
that Mrs. Rhodes was apparently un-
conscious of the approaching machine.
! With the assistance of several near
by Pierce lifted the woman into his
car and hurried to the hospital, where
she was examined by DR.. George r. An
derson. She was found to be suffering
from a severe fracture of the skull,
broken right arm, a cut on the right
hand and bridge of the nose, also
bruises on the chest, knees and chin.
Mrs Rhodes was born in Bratteboro.
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Root and was married to Mr.. Rhodes
here 80 years ago. At that time he
was employed in Pennsylvania and
they went there to live, but only re-
manned five years. For the last 25
years this town had been their home.
Mr.. Rhodes is employed by the White
River Chair company.
Besides the husband, one daughter
Mary, wife of Roy Simonds, and son
Albert s., who is with Company 1 at
the Westfield camp, survive to mourn
her untimely death.
Mrs Rhodes attended the Baptis
church.

preparation for sending notices to the
several towns of the amount which
each town will have to pay on the 20

In his work Mr. Cave finds that the
grand lists in every county have in
creased since last year, although it is
true that some of the towns in different
counties have decreased from that of
1916. The comparison by counties fol
