BENNINGTON GIRLS
LOST GAME IN
KINGSTON
Basketball Team Met Its First De-
feat Of Season
BOYS RULES IN SECOND HALF
Vermonters Led During First Period
Which Was Played Under
Girls Rules

The Bennington high school girls
the season Saturday evening in
Kingston where 1t was defeated
by the Kingston girls by score
of 2S to H. While there is no desire
on the part of the Bennington girls or
their instructor, Miss Vossler, to de-
tract from the credit due the oppos-
ing team, they are nevertheless in
clined to the belief that adverse cir
cumstances were in large measure
responsible for the defeat of the Yer
mont quintette.
The Kingston team insisted
that the last two quarters be played
under boys rules. to which the Ben
nington girls are unaccustomed, and It
was in these two periods, particularly
the final quarter that Kingston
won. At the close of the first two
quarters, played under girls rules,
Bennington was in the lead by
score of II to II. In the third quar-
ANi bAt Stpi z was tiOct Will AluSS-
ton slightly in the lead and in
the final stanza the familiarity with
the rules and the floor enabled the
New Workers to run away from the
Vermonters.
The long journey, the Bennington
girls who left here ON the morning
train did not arrive in Kingston
until 3 in the afternoon, the change in
rules and the larger floor surface
proved a handicap which the Ben
nington girls could not overcome
During the first half of the game they
more than held their own, in the
third period they were on even
terms with their opponents but the
pace of the last ten minutes was more
than they could stand. 2His
The Kingston girls have
strong team. 1t has played Is games
during the season out of which it has
lost but two. Playing under boys
rules has developed an element of
roughness to which the Bennington
girls are unaccustomed. One of the
Kingston guards was disqualified
for rough tactics and another was en-
lltleu 10 similar penalty.
During the first two periods Miss Mar
garet Nash scored four field baskets
and Miss Julia Brazil made one field
goal and two from the foul line. In
the second period Miss Nash made
one field goal and one from the foul
line and Miss Brazil scored three from
the foul line. asf 3feu sGt
The Bennington girls were royalty
entertained while in Kingston.
After the game they were the guests
of the Kingston girls at one of
the moving picture theatres and
everything possible was done to make
their stay in the city a pleasant one.
The members of the Bennington team
left Kingston Sunday forenoon
and arrived here in the afternoon on
the flyer.
The Bennington team will close this
season Friday evening when it will
meet the Drury high school team at
Library hall.

BERLIN FARES BEST

London, April 23.-While Berlin has
been able to furnish increased rations
OF potatoes and meat to compensate
for the reduction in the bread ration,

fortunate, says dispatch from Cop

trasted with 1900 grammes in Berlin

Governor Appeals to vermonters to
Battle Against Food Shortage
NO DANGER OF OVER. PRODUCTION
Series of Agricultural Rallies to Cow
er Nearly Every County in the
State Arranged.
Montpelier, April %, 1917

MOHJptlitI, april 80, iVl -
The governors of many states have
issued proclamations relating to the
war and the food supply. feel that
there is a need in Vermont for plain
statement to our citizens, and especi
ally to our farmers. We can not for.
see the needs and duties of the future,
nor the time or conditions of peace.
The fear of overproduction should
cause no hesitancy about planting the
maximum that can be cared for. The
United States no longer has on hand
its usual surplus of food. New Eng
land raises less than one-fifth of the
food required to feed her own popu-
]ation. 1t is true that some of the
western states can produce enormous
quantities of foodstuffs at great
economic advantage, but our own citi-
zens must consider the difficulties of
transportation at time when the
railroads will be overburdened with the
shipment of the munitions of war and
of the food which we will send to our
allies.
farmers is where and how to obtain
sufficient help to care for their crops
Our school boys have made hearty
response to the call of the soil. Men
who are rejected for military service
can demonstrate no greater patriotism
than by devoting their labor to the
production of food When the labor
supply is so limited, | would advise
farmers to plant sufficient variety to
prevent the burdens of care and of
harvest coming all at one time. Every
bit that is raised in a food garden will
allow just so much more food to be
shipped to Cur armies and to our al
lies. Our country is at war, and we
must realize now, if we have not al
ready done so, that the cause of the
allies is our cause.
Horace f. Graham, Governor.
A series of agricultural prepared
ness rallies, covering nearly all the
counties of the state, has been ar
ranged by the extension service of
the college of agriculture University
of Vermont, in cooperation with the
committee on food production and
conservation of the state public safe
ty committee of which Ex-Governor c.
w. Gates is chairman. 1t is designed
to emphasize the great need and i'm
portance of increasing food produc-
tion in Vermont by means of better
agricultural methods and more in
tensive cultivation. The planting of
the next few weeks will determine in
a large measure what the harvest of
next autumn will be. Without abund-
ant and proper planting there can be
no reaping. 1t is just as essential
that plenty of food products shall be
raised as it is that soldiers shall be
enlisted. These meetings are intend
ed to point out clearly the serious
ness of conditions throughout the
world, and to give practical informa
tion concerning the best methods of
crop production and conservation to
meet the present crisis.
