MUCH FOOD FROM SMALL AREAS.
Ways in Which a Little Land is Made
70 Produce Many Vegetables.

The best methods to follow and the
best crops to grow in order to make n
small area like n back yard produce the
maximum amount of food for the fam
ily are discussed in new publication
of the T. ;. department of agriculture,
farmers bulletin SIS, The Small Nege-
table Garden. In addition TO furnish
ing information in regard to the fun
damental principles of gardening, this
bulletin describes in detail the culture
Of all the common garden plants, and
also furnishes a table showing in CON
else form the quantity of seed needed
for each kind of vegetable, the proper
way and times to plant it, and the ma
terial required TO produce the crop.
To make small area produce q
large amount of food, the bulletin
points out that not only every foot of
available space must he utilized, but
that late or succession crops must be
planted as soon as the earlier plants
have been removed. To carry on gar
dening in this intensive way requires
careful planning in advance, and il is
recommended that detailed diagram
of the garden be drawn up and the
i various uses that it is planned to pat
each portion to, throughout the grow
/ ing season, be clearly Indicated. Or
/ this plan the success or failure of the
various enterprises should be noted an,
the plan itself kept as a guide for tn
! following year.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Address by Frank E. Howe, April Il
1917, at Mill of the Black Cat Tex
tiles Co.. in Bennington

The traditions of the great republic
are with us, the lives of the patriots
still inspire. We are the inheritors of
the ages, rich with spells of time To
us is given the wonderful honor and
tremendous responsibility of doing our
part il preserving the nation, main
tanning its flag, and upholding all that
the flag represents.
We raise this flag today not merely
as an emblem of liberty, freedom and
equality but as a token of our accept
anee of a responsibility which we did
not seek but which has been forced
upon rs and which we will not refuse
We have catered into this war, not
to add new stars TO our flag, not in
an ambitious endcavor to plant it's
staff in the soil OF new provinces or
to force its dominance upon unwilling
and conquered peoples,
We have taken our place in the red
line of conflict in the ealmness of fin
duty We do not despise those we must
| fight. There IS no anger or hatred Ill
our hearts but an earnest determination
not to shirk our part before an issue
that shodows the world.
In democracy like ours there are
many opinions, and points of view viii
widely differ We may not all have
been of one mind while this great eri
sis has been approaching, but now that
the die has been east, the decision
made, and the sword unsheathed, we
accept the challenge, we take up tine
| burden. we summon our Young men
we unfurl Our flag, and, shoulder Il
shoulder, without fear, without malice
without boasting, and without hop
of reward, we stand ready to follow
that flag, if need be, to the gates o
hell or into the streets of Berlin.
Let us raise that flag, not only int
the free air of heaven, not only abov
the free soil of the United States, no
only in the presence of the hills an
mountains that circle this cradle o
Vermont, not only at the head OF on
armies,-- but in the hearts Of q FIRE
people, 4 people who love peace,
people who abhor war, but a peopl
who would rather perish by the swor
in bloody strife or die from starva
ton and pestilence than to see tina
flag and that which 1T represents dflN
en- from the land and from the sea.
So long az this flag shall wave, S
long as this country shall endure, W
would have other lands aud other PEI
nle know and understand that this n;
ton of ours will not draw the swor
at the call Of greed and ambition, BIT
: that it does not Gear to draw i'll I'll
sacred cause Of honor.
s We have hesitated long and hope
=, in vain, but the hour has come whe
q we can hesitate and hope no longe
o In loviag memory Of all that our fat
/ ers and our mothers did and suffere
} in prayerful faith that cur strenei
@ may be equal to the effort. and wit
It confidence ii God that the future WI
instifg the step taken, we raise tn
flag and consecrate ourselves anew
the Stars and Stripes forever.

GRETNA GREEN'S
FUNERAL kNELL
No Rush for Licenses Marks
Final Day of Old
Law Here
BUT THREE COUPLES
FROM OUT OF STATE
In 1911 Number Of Bratttleboro Mar
riages Was Only II - In 1916 Num-
Months of Present Year Is $50.


Brattleboro's period of Gretna Green
ing came to close last night when
Town Clerk Carl S. Hopkins locked the
door of his office in the town building
No rush to have the marriage knot tied
had marked the day. Only six licenses
were issued yesterday, three to Brat
tleboro couples and three to parties who
came from out of the state. One of the
couples had no knowledge that they had
chosen the last day on which they might
be married here without giving five days
notice of intentions. Two of the licenses
issued to local residents have not been
used yet.
/ The last couple to be married yester
day were local residents, who would not
have been affected by the new law, gen
orally known as the Durham law, which
requires five days notice of marriage
intentions except by residents of the
state and soldiers. Justice Hopkins
married Cllrard j. Hills, son of Charles
/ Hills and Il farmer at the Brattleboro
| Retreat, and Miss Mildred d. Tuthill of
Linden Lodge, a daughter of Edward
| Tuthill of Newfane.
! Statistics of the marriage business in
Bratteboro are interesting to show how
that since the neighboring states have
made it incumbent upon residents of
those states to give five days notice of
marriage intentions they had flocked to
the nearest towns in Vermont where
they could be married without that
formality.
Back in 1911 only - marriages were
performed in Brattleboro. The next
year this was boosted to IL; and in 1918
it slipped back little, to ll6. The real
drive began i'm 1914, when 30 marriages
were solemnizcd here. In 1915 the fig
ures jumped to 3l2, and last year they
reached the total of 80. The figures foi
the four months this year are - in Jan
uary, 80 in February p in March and
30 in April.
The banner month of all was July
1916. when 90 marriages were performed
September of the same year was a closC
second with 81. March, 1916. and March
