STATE OF VERMONT
Horace F. Graham, Governor
A PROCLAMATION
To the People of Vermont:

We are but just beginning to realize
the magnitude of our task. ! feel thai
the time is here when every resource
of the country and of each individua
should be pledged to the prosecution
of the war. The greatest single factor
in the struggle is that of food conser-
walton and | urge all citizens to take
hold and make a success of the
Pledge Card Campaign
being carried on throughout the coun-
try this week.
The only way that we can feed our
army is by denying ourselves at home.
] hope this campaign will come so
close to the people Of Vermont that
they will understand fully the effec-
tiyeness of their pledges. We must
conserve food, also go on record to
show our enemies that we have a sin
cere determination to win the war.
By self-denial the civilian population
can accomplish more than by any
other means.
In this campaign the women of Yer
mont have an opportunity TO render
the most useful service TO the country.
The duty is largely theirs and we are
confident that there will be no delay
in putting this pledge into practice.
Let us again come up to the stand
ard which we set for ourselves in pre-
vious campaigns, that Of doing not
only our share but more than our
share.

Seal Of the State, at Montpelier, this
thirtieth day of October, A. d. 1917.

FOOD PLEDGE WEEK

Washington, d. C., Oct. 29-Thc
United States Food Administration
issues the following statement: "The
food Administration is much encour-
aged by the present outlook for Food
Pledge Week and is now confident Of
its complete success.
Although full returns have not yet
been received from the outlying dis
tricts, il is evident that Louisiana,
Idaho and North Dakota, the three
states that carried on their campaign
ahead of schedule, will all exceed their
quotas of signed pledges. Louisiana,
with an apportionment of two hundred
thousand, will be able to send to
Washington over three hundred
thousand signed cards, the number Sc
cured the first day being more than
the total vote cast in that state. The
campaign managers in the other two
states. Idaho with hundred thousand
and North Dakota with hundred and
eight thousand goal, have assured US
that these figures will be passed, judg-
ing from the returns already received.
Several other states have boosted
their original quotas, some promising
to complete a 95 per cent enrolment,
while many county managers claim
that they will enroll every family.

WHY THE LEAVES
CHANGE THEIR COLOR

Washington, Oct. 29-It requires NJ
vivid imagination to picture Mothe
Nature going about these days witt
a liberal supply of paint with whicl
she colors the leaves of the trees ant
other plants and thereby produces th'
vivid tints which characterize the foil
age of this season. In reality tn,
change in coloring is the result Of
certain chemical processes which take
place in the leaves.
The change is not, as many people
suppose, due to the action Of frost, but
is a preparation for winter. All dur
ing the spring and summer t'le cave,
have served as factories, where the
foods necessary for the trees growth
have been manufactured. This food
making takes place in numberless tiny
cells of the leaf and is carried on by
small green bodies which give the leaf
its color. These chlorophyll bodies, as
they are known, make the food of the
tree by combining carbon taken from
the carbonic acid gas Of the air with
hydrogen, oxygen, and various min
erals supplied by the water which the
roots gather. In the fall when the
cool weather causes slowing down Of
the vital processes, the work of the
leaves come to an end The machinery
of the leaf factory is dismantled, so
to speak, the chlorophyll is broken up
into the various substances of which it
is composed, and whatever food there
is on hand is sent TO the body of the
tree to be stored up for use in the
spring. All that remains in the cell
cavities of the leaf is a watery sub
stance in which few oil globules and
and a small number Of yell
low, strongly refractive bodies can be
seen. These give the leaves the yell
low coloring SO familiar in autumnal
foliage.

tree. When this is the cas- the chem
cal combination with the other sub
stances produces many-colored tints
,arying from the brilliant red of the
iogwood TO the more austere red
browns Of the oak. In coniferous trees,
which do not lose their foliage in the
all, the green coloring matter takes
m a slightly brownish tinge, which,
gives way to the lighter
.olor in the spring.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS
TO CONTINUE WAR AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS
New Seals on Sale in Vermont Novem.
zer 5th

Here is the Red Cross Seal for
Christmas, 1917, by far the hand
soonest seal the Red Cross has ever
printed. The date for placing the
seals on sale has been changed from
November Is to November 5, in order
that the Christmas packages for our
soldiers in France may bear these
little stickers, telling them that the
folks at home are not Stacking in their
fight against tuberculosis.
In Vermont. the seal sale will be
under the management of the Ver-
mont Association for the Prevention
Of tuberculosis and 80 per cent Of the
net proceeds will be used by that
Association to fight tuberculosis in
Vermont. The Association, although
only year old, has received the high
est commentator for the things it has
accomplished from the president and
secretary of the State Board of Health
and welfare workers throughout the
state. At the annual meeting of the
directors, it was voted that, in addi-
tion to keeping up the educational and
relief activities Of the Association, an
effort should be made to start "pre-
ventorium" for anemic children who
have been exposed to tuberculosis. H.
w. Slocum, secretary Of the Associa-
tion, defines preventorium as a tenn
porary home and open air school COM
bined where the children are given
every chance to get well, learn how
to keep well and, finally, go to their
homes and tell what they have learned
to others.
The opinion is unanimous through
out the country that on account Of
war, the work to control tuberculosis
must increase. The prevalence Of
in Europe is increasing
and only the most strenuous efforts
will protect the United States from a
like misfortune. The Red Cross Seals
sell at one cent each and affords
everyone, young and old. an opportun-
ity to contribute something.

ARRANGEMENT FOR SENDING
CHRISTMAS MAIL TO SOLDIERS

1. With the approach Of the holiday
season special attention is being given
to the delivery Of Christmas mail to
enlisted men serving abroad. Ar
rangements have been perfected by
the Navy, War and Post Office Depart
ments whereby Christmas mail to
American Expeditionary Forces In
Europe and to crews Of the U. s.
Naval vessels serving in European
waters will be delivered by Christmas
morning. Without the fullest cooper
alton on the part Of the public it will
be impossible to accomplish this re-
suit.
2. The families and friends Of en-
listed men are urged to observe the
rules adopted by the Navy, War and
Post Office Departments, particularly
in three essential respects:
/. Mails to reach sailors and
soldiers by Christmas must be
posted not later than November
18th.
2. Every package must bear
conspicuously the words Christ
mas Mail" the complete address
of the person for whom it is in
tended, and, in the upper left
hand corner, the name and ad-
dress of the sender.
3. Every parcel must be 80
packed and wrapped as to admk
of easy inspection by the post
master. No parcel will be dis
patched to Europe which has not
the postmaster's certificate that it
contains no prohibited articles.
3. All mail for men serving on
board vessels Of the Atlantic Fleet
and in European waters should be

the leaf is attached to the tree, {

port the leaf At the same time
Nature heals the cut, so that when the

Although the food which has been
prepared in the cell cavities is sent
back to the tree, the mineral sub
stances with which the walls Of the
cells have become impregnated during
the summer months are retained. Ac-
cordingly, when the leaves fall they
contain relatively large amounts Of
valuable elements, such as nitrogen
and phosphorus which were originally
part Of the soil. The decomposition
Of the leaves results in enriching the
top layers Of the soil by returning
these elements and by the accumula-
ton of humus. That is why the mel
low black earth from the forest floor is
so fertile. But IL fires are allowed to
run through the forest and the leaves
are burned, the most valuable of the
fertilizing elements are changed by
the heat into gases and escape into the
air. As result, forests which are
burned over regularly soon lose their
soil fertility even If no apparent dam
age is done to the standing timber.

bulletin was received from the gov

was only skeleton Of the most i'm
portant world events, but it was link
to former civilization, waited for and
welcomed. For this service the six
saloons of the 200 population town
paid Sc per month each.
Usually when the bulletin came in
the bartender would read it aloud. He
would comment on the most important
dispatches, and the crowd would chew
over them and argue. And between
the discussions and serving drinks the
bulletin would last for some time. And
then in turn every fellow had to read
it over for himself.

was, will we reach st. Michael in

were anxious to get across the bay to
Nome, for as one who had made the
trip before said, "God pity US if we
have to wait ten days in st. Mike"
But everyone from the captain to

you will catch it. If we are late she |

there was not man on board who
knew, or would admit he did, what
date the Umatilla was scheduled to

Tananna was the first and only
town on the Yukon river that was
not going back. There wasn't much
to 60 back there. A bakery had tried
It and given up the ghost, and

DEATH OF CHEVALIER BAYARD
Gallant French Knight Met End Hero
icalIy While Leading Fight
Against Traitors Army.

It was on April 80, 1924, that the
Cheyaller Bayard was killed in bat
tie. His end was characteristic. En-
gagged in a campaign in northern Italy,
where the imperial army under the
traitor, De Bourbon, was pressing hard
upon the retreating French troops,
Bayard was asked to take the COM
mand and save the army. 1T Is too
late" he said, "but my soul Is Gods
and my life is my country's." Then
putting himself at the head Of a body
IL men at arms, he held the enemy at
bay until struck down by a ball. lie
vas thrown from his horse, but re-
fused to retire, saying that he had
never shown his back to the enemy.
He was placed against a tree, fac
ing the advancing host. In the want
Of cross he kissed his sword, and
because of the absence of priest ne
confessed to his maitre d'hotel. When
De Bourbon came up and expressed
regret at seeing him in such condition,
he said: sweep for yourself, sir. For
me, have nothing to complain OF; l
die in the course of my duty TO my
country. You triumph IN betraying
yours; but your successes are horrible
and the end will be sad" Having
uttered these words the gallant knight
died and was buried by his enemy on
the field with military honors.

1t was rude town and peopled by
ruder people. Glen Worden wandered
past its one square of saloons, dance
halls and restaurants, sorry that he
had ever been sent to Creston, impa-

there would be no connecting stage I'M

they would not be likely to pay for 1t.
