TO CARRY But
FEW SUPPLIES
Drafted Men Warned Not TO
Bring Useless Articles to
Military Camps

Washington, Sept. 3.-Draftcd men
of the first five per cent contingent
who will leave Wednesday for mobol-
ization camps are directed, in regula-
tons issued today, to take a minimum
of civilian clothing and personal be-
longings. Toilet articles, towels, and
handkerchiCfS are recommended and
no objections will be made to two
changes of underclothing, but other
articles are frowned upon.
Attention is called to the fact that
civilian clothing will be discarded
when camp is reached and to those
not desiring to send such apparel back
homo it was suggested that clothing
not worth keeping be worn. The men
may carry only light hand baggage
on the train and, as suit cases ana
hand bags will not be allowed for
permanent use at camp, artlci es may
be carried in bundles if desired.
Before reporting to the local board
drafted men should have their hair
cut very short, should be bathed, and
wear clean clothing. To insure quick
communication with his family each
recruit is advised to provide himself
with postcards and stamped envel-

LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT BAND CONCERT
Lack of Respect During Playing OF
''Star Spangled Banner"
Causes Comment

A large crowd attended the band
concert on Court House square last
evening" The band gave its usual ex-
cellent program and gave the aud
fence the kind of music wanted. Fol-
lowing the usual custom THE Star
Spangled Banner was the final sell
ection and much comment was heard
regarding the large number of men
who failed to remove their hats while
the anthem was being played.
While many did remove their head
ear yet there was a noticeable majority
who either in their haste to get home
or from thcughtlessness failed with
that mark of respect One old vet
eran was heard to state that he wished
it was possible to read the delinquents
lecture on proper respect to the flag
and it's relation to patriotism. Many
others also were heard to voice their
opinions in the matter and it was far
from complimentary.

BRITAIN TO KILL
OFF HER CATTLE

London, Sept. 3.-The Food Con-
troller's orders fixing prices for meat,
bacon, cheese, butter, ham and lard,
which go into effect today, have been
greeted with the greatest satisfaction
by the laboring classes, who up to the
present have had strong suspicion
that Baron Rhondda was inclined to
make a muddle Of the regulations,
similar to that of Lord Davenport, who
issued his order relative to fOodstuffs
after practically all the supplies had
passed to the people at eXhorbitant
prices.
1t was learned yesterday that the
supply of fresh meat is likely to be
ample for time as it has been de-
cided to sacrifice the cattle to save
grain. This will mean, however that
before long England will depend on
America for practically all her supply
Of meat Two million acres of grazing
lands in England and Wales are to be
used for growing grain.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The Ger

ture by the Ioewe--is no more. Her
OF an allied cruiser whoch recently
coaied at an Atlantic port
Carrying coal from Norfolk to the
River Plate, the st. Theodore was
overtaken and made a prize by the
famous raider Moewe. A prize crew
was placed aboard her by the Germans
and several hundred prisoners, among
them several Americans who had been
taken from merchantmen sunk by the
raider, were transferred to the prize.
A few weeks later, having success
fully run the British blockade, the ST.
Theodore entered q German port in
safety and the Americans aboard were
subsequently, released and allowed to
return to this country. Then the ship
disappeared from public eye except
for occasional indefinate reports of
her operations.
Not long ago, according to the story
lust told by the allied tars, certain
British patrol boat in the North Sea
overhauled q large merchant steamer
flying the Dutch flag. Upon being
hailed her skipper answered all quest
ions satisfactorily, but something, per-
haps instinct, aroused the suspicious
of the patrol commander and he det-
ermined to send searching party
aboard her.
A large patrol boat which was lying
some distance off signalled to stand
by during the search, and boat con-
tanning three officers and several men
rowed toward the supposed Dutchman
The merchantmen accomodatingly
lowered a companion ladder for the
convenience of the boarding party
and apparently was making a great
show of activity in preparations to
receive the Britons.
The object of the preparations was
made manifest as soon as the boat
came alongside, when bomb was
hurled from the deck of the supposed
merchantmen into the small boat.
The explosion annihilated the boarding
party At the same instant torpedoes
were launched by the "Dutchman' at
both patrol boats. Both the torpedoe:
missed their mark, and 4 second later
broadsides from the patrol boats
avenged the fate of their conlrads.
The first round blew the steamships
upper works to pieces, and few min
utes firing at the short range at which
the patrol boats lay lett her n staples
wreck. No prisoners were taken, but
he steamship was later identified from
the wreckage as the ST. Theodore.

MARKETING
in VERMONT
State Department of Agric-
ulture Will Aid
the Farmers
QUOTATIONS GIVEN
THE PRESS DAILY
Will Give Vermonters OPP
portunity to Know What
to Get for Crops

The State of Vermont proposes tc
aid the food producers of the state
in marketing the crops produced this
season The following letter from r.
S. Brigham, commissioner of agricul-
turc, tells how it will be done:
Editor of the Caledonian:
Replying to your letter of August
oath, asking for statement concern
ing the marketing situation in Yer
mont and also asking what the state
is planning to do in reference to it, J
will say that in response to the call
made last spring for increased produc-
ton, Vermont farmers have very
largely increased their acreages OF
such crops as beans, potatoes and
VIC vegetables. The marketing of these
emergency crops at a price which will
return cost to the grower and a fail
profit, presents the Immediate mar
koting problem. Whether or not this
VIII be a difficult problem, remains to
be seen, because these crops have not
sufficiently matured so that the total
volume of production Of the entire
country can be accurately forecasted
neither can the conSumptive demanC
under present conditions be definitely
predicted But, however this may be:
the farmers problem is to send his
crops to the market which will pay
most for them and at the time when
these crops are in the greatest de-
mlnd.
