GLOVER

There are a number of cases of
influenza in town and nearly every
family has a case or cases of SO call
ed colds which seem to come down in
about four days after contact with
some person suffering with cold and
the symptoms are the same as in the
harder cases. If these mild cases are
the same this community is pretty
we'll saturated with it and must soon
be immune to more of it.
Miss Isabelle Clark, accompanied
by friend, Miss Josephine Mitchell,
came from Lyndon Institute, Satur-
day and Monday Miss Isabelle came
down with influenza. On Wednesday
Miss Josephine became a victim to
it. Although severely i'll for the first
four days, the first victim is on the
gain. There are new cases about
town every day but there have bee.
no fatalities.

was to have been held Oct. 3 and

The Pressing Food Problem

Mr.. Hoover said something in a
recent talk in Washington that help
ed to- impress the need for food saw.
ing. That actual starvation threatens
war devastated areas in Europe we
all know. Mr. Hoover says that in
the coming winter "the deaths from
starvation probably will exceed the
deaths at the front" While food
wasting in the United States has
been much reduced, Mr.. Hoover is
convinced that even now so per cent
of the perishable food produced in
the United States never reaches the
consumer, but is wasted. He says
there is loss of from 40 to so per
cent Of all potatoes raised. This
shows how far our people still arc
from having applied themselves suf-
ficiently to relieving the worlds
needs. eff we are to do our duty by
the world and ourselves, we must
utilize every means to increase pro-
duction and distribute food efficient
ly."
This must not only be done now,
but continued after the war. Mr..
Hoover. points out that it took the
south 35 years to recover its herds
after the civil war. Because of the
diminishing herds he said Europe
will face food shortages for years af-
ter peace is achieved. He estimates
that for 10 years after the close of
this war the productivity of the
United States will be called upon to
supply necessary foodstuffs to the
millions of hungry people in foreign
countries, all of which bears very
directly on Secretary Lanes plan for
opening new lands to our returning
soldiers. Springfield Republican.

PRESS COMMENT
Pave the Way for 1920

The Hon. P. w. Clement, who was
in Burlington in connection with the
meeting of the state republican COM
mittee, realizes that with popular in
tefest centering in the winning of the
war there will be danger of a light
vote, and he naturally would like to
see a rousing republican majority.
Republicans are doing their share to
help win the war, but it behooves
them to devote some thought to the
winning of g. victory in Vermont that
will help pave the way for the cleo
ton of a republican president of the
United States in 1920. All republi-
cans should bear this fact in mind
and not only help elect Mr.. Clement
by a handsome majority but also aid
in making his administration a graft
flying success.-Burlington Free

Use Envelopes Twice in Britain

The United States has long way
to go in the path of paper economic
ing before it reaches the point at
tanned by some of the European
countries. Newspapers abroad have
been cut, as is well known, to four
pages in many instances, and some of
them appear as a single sheet. One
of the latest methods of paper saving
is reported from Great Britain. Many
firms, it is stated ARE using envel-
opes twice. Those arriving by in
coming mails are slit open at the
ends, arranged in piles, and handed
over to apprentices, who obliterate
the old address by means of gum
med label, with a perforated strip
attached, which is torn off and used

graved with the following iscription:

A Bad Street

We have looked Webster's diction-
airy all through and we have failed
to find a word that would describe
the condition of Coventry street since
the rains began. For one to drive
up and down our new cement street
and suddenly plunge into a foot more
or less of mud on the busiest street
of the city would make one do lot
of thinking if he didn't say what he
thought. But the street superinten-
dent has been busy man this sum-
mer looking after all the new city
roads. The city purchased a tin lizzy
SO that he might get over the large
territory thathe has to cover, but
there have been times he needed a
flying machine, but whatever he had,
he dropped down on Coventry street
today with q force of men and teams
and the mud flew faster today than it
did when autos were ploughing
through it. The street is being
scraped and carried off and a new
surface of gravel will be applied,
much to the satisfaction of those who
drive over it. One other piece of
road we would mention that was
built early in the season, the road
near Pine Grove between J. Bon
neau's and the Gilbert corner. This
road has been in bad shape for some
time, especially in the spring. What
did Maurice do to it? He took off
the top, put in six inches of coarse
stone, thensfour inches of gravel, and
now it is credit to the city and
the man who built it. Keep it up.
