In a characteristic letter. Horace
Tinkham of Rhode Island concludes
as follows. Have got to go out and
dig potatoes; 1000 bushels still in the
ground; over 200 bushels carrots not
dug; over l,O00 bushels caulitlower
not cut. much corn still standing and
not any husked; rye not yet planted;
an acre of beets not yet harvested;
no help, and what have is out sick. -
But Tinkham and Brigham will
come out on top. They will work UNI
til they do. These two cases are cited
not from a pessimistic standpoint, but
rather to indicate what thousands OF
farmers have been up against the
present harvest. The IA to 1S.hour

Do IT for Baby.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Ihe little hui
man animals are very much alike in
their development. II is helpful for a
mother to learn the average times Of
growth, though a perfectly well, nor
NAL child often departs slightly from
the average in some respects.
Here are some statistics given by
DR.. Holt and DR.. Kerley to show the
average development.
During the first week of its life a
baby usually loses from four to six
ounces, and after that makes a
weekly gain OF from four to eight
ounces up to six months of age.
From six months to year a baby
usually gains from two to four
ounces a week. During the second
year there is a gain of seven pounds.
To put it differently, the average
baby weighs about seven pounds at
birth, doubles the weight at five
months, nearly triples it at one year
of age and at two years weighs 2S
pounds
The fontanel should be closed at
is months, surely at two years DC.
casionally II will be closed at four
teen months.
A baby should hold up its head dur
ing the fourth month
1t should laugh out loud from the
third TO the fifth month
It should reach for toys and handle
them from the fifth to the seventh
month.
1t should sit up without support at
seven or eight months.
II should begin to creep at nine or
ten months
At eleven or twelve months II
should stand without aid
The first attempts al walking usu-
ally come in the twelfth or thirteenth
month and the average child can
walk alone by the eighteenth month
At a year baby usually has six
teeth, at a year and q half twelve
teeth at two years sixteen teeth and
at two years and half the full first
set of twenty teeth.
The newborn baby usually sleeps
nine-tenths OF the time. the six
months old baby two.thrds Of the
time. AT five months a baby should
sleep from 10 D. m. to a. m. with
out a feeding
Between fifteen months and two
years lof age baby should learn Il
sleep twelve hours at night without a
feeding
Up 70 eighteen months or tive
years Of age the average baby takes
nap OF from one to two hours morn
ing and afternoon After that age q
baby usually takes only an afternoon
nap.-By Ruth Danenhower Wilson O

Brigham Got His Potatoes.

October frosts, amounting to prac-
tical freezes were disturbing to many
farmers. substantial crust was
found in early morning on the ground
in late October in many sections, with
thousands of bushels Of potatoes still
undug. Vermont's potato seed special
list, Commissioner Brigham, under
date of October %. said he had 1000
bushels potatoes yet to dig. "And it's
raining nearly every day" When Mr.,
Brigham thus finds work driving him

Copenhagen, Oct. 29.-Germany's
answer to President Wilson's note of
October "a, in which he said he would
submit the request for an armistice to
the allies, follows:
1.-THE German government has taken
cognizance of the answer Of the presi-
dent Of the United States.
"The president is aware of the far
reaching changes which have been car
ried out and are being carried out in
the German constitutional structure,
and that peace negotiations are being
conducted by peoples government,
in whose hands rests, both actually
and constitutionaIIy, the power to
make the deciding conclusions.
"The military powers are also sub
ject to it.
1.-THE German government now
awaits proposals for an armistice,
which shall be the first step toward a
just peace, as the president has pre-
scribed it in his proclamation.
(Signed) "SOLF."

London, Oct 28.-Field Marshal Won

respondent of the Daily Express
learns. The correspondent adds the
designations Of the two military chiefs
are designed to pave the way to Ger
many's capitulation.
The KOelnische Volks Zeitung states
the pan-German leaders at confer

protesting against Germany's accept

points, saying Germany, by accepting
them, was "ushering in the dissolution
of Germany"

London, Oct. 28.-Gen. Won Luden-
dorff's resignation, coupled with events
in Austria and other indications of a
near collapse of kaiserdOm, give
ground for strong hopes that the Ger
mans will accept the armistice condi-
tons, practically amounting to un-
conditional surrender, which Marshal
Foch will soon hand to them.
Ludendorff's resignation means the
collapse of the German military NOR
ale. He is known to have been I'M
sympathetic toward the last German
note.
