LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Turn Sterling Silver to Government Use.

Editor, Barre Daily Times, Dear Sir
Wouldn't II be well to give further pub
licity to the fact that the U. s. assay
office will buy sterling silverware for 81
per ounce pure (see enclosed letter. !?
This is probably two to three times as
much as silver was worth when most of
us acquired what silver we now have.
Through the country there is an immense
amount of silver serving no necessary or
even useful purpose but which if con.
verified into cash might enable its owners
to make further purchases of war say.

Cross than they otherwise would.

you are advised that this Office will pur-
chase sterling silyerware provided the
minimum amount forwarded is equiva-
lent to at least 800 in value.

Count Rooms absurd terms of peace
are probably intended to counterfeit the
influence on the allied nations Of the
speech made by Foreign Secretary Won
Kuelhmann before the Reichstag last
week. Germany in her most insane mo-
ments could scarcely have had such fan
tastic dreams as those recounted by
Count Room, and the latter's vagaries are
put forth as the extreme, in order to give
the impression that Germany's will to
fight is as strong as ever. Count Room is
mouthpiece of Prussian arrogance
shouting itself black in the face in an
effort to beat back the overwhelming de,
feat that is being seen by all Germany

 A load of produce was brought to town Saturday from the pupils of the Gale high school which they donated to the local chapter of the Red Cross. It consisted of number of chickens, canned fruit, syrup, eggs, etc. M. L. Moore sold the produce at auction to the highest bidder and over $75 was realized from the sale. The pupils are to be commended for this splendid showing of patriotism and it goes to show the general spirit of the people of the county.
 The prize of $500 offered at the be- ginning of the last term by Dr. J. R. York, local dentist, to the grammar school pupil writing the best essay on "Oral Hygiene" was won by Miss Floy Hall of the sixth grade. Dr. York is to be commended for the in- terest he has taken in the betterment of conditions relative to the caring of teeth. The teeth of the children play very important part in the health of the child and we be- lieve enough care is not taken to pre- vent decayed teeth and diseased gums, which is due to carelessness and lack of knowledge of the subject.
 As we go to press today the com mittees soliciting the Red Cross dona- tions in the city are meeting with hearty response everywhere. Every one IS giving all that is being asked of them and some are giving more. We will, we believe, be able to report tomorrow that Prescott has exceeded her quota. We are glad to announce that Redland township has already passed her quota and still working. This is the first township to get this honor, Steel McClelland bringing the report to town early this morning. A total of $8100 was turned over to | the treasurer this morning by W. J. Chamlee and Vance Trigg, which rep resented donations from every mem- Der of the logging crew at the Valley Lumber Company's mill. Who wants to be the first man to say that he can not give what is asked of him?

How Germany conserves Space.

A conservation of land-Space move
nent, in Germany, some time ago, re-
suited in the utilization of dwarf vari-
cites of fruit trees instead of much of
the shrubbery planted merely for orna-
mental purposes, and in the planting
Of small trees close against the walls
of brick or stone houses so that the
branches could be trained over the
walls in the manner of ivy, says the
Popular Science Monthly.
Pear trees are pruned carefully and
trained to spread out over the walls
Just like vines. The practice is now
common in hard-pressed Germany, and
Is likely to find favor in this country.
Pear, plum, and other fruit trees are
thus trained over house walls, fences,
and garden partitions so that not an
inch of ground is wasted. In this way,
too, the trees are prevented from
throwing too much shade over other
growing things in their vicinity. and
the appearance of the houses is, in
addition, very considerably enhanced.

MAKING OF THE YELLOWSTONE
How Its History is Written in Its
Piateaus, Mountains, Petrified
Trees and Lava.

To comprehend what we have i'm the
Yellowstone, we must begin with its
making. The entire region is of vol
canic origin. The mountains around
II on both sides and the mountains
within it are products or remainders
OF great volcanoes of the far past; and
d.a great plateaus, from which spring
It's gcysers and hot springs and through
whose forests now roam so many wild
animals, are composed of the ash and
aisintegrated lavas which were once
elected from these volcanoes. OF
course the plains are now all deep with
SOIL But such evidences of the past MS
the black volcanic glass of the Obsidian
Ciih and the fantastic whorled lava
rocks OF Mount Washburn are plain to
the least instructed eye.
One particularly fascinating GLIMPSE
OF Yellowstone's tempestuous past is
afforded in the petrified forest of the
Specimen Ridge neighborhood. where
many levels of upright petrified trunks
may be found alternating, like the lay
ers in q cake, with levels of lava
which plainly shows that. after the
FIRST forest grew on the volcanoes slope
end was engulfed by fresh run of
lava, enough time elapsed for a second
