GO to Work or Go to Jail"

The Bennington Banner heads an
appeal: go to Work or Go to Jail"
That is a slogan which should be
adopted in every community. There
is never any room for the loafer-
and less today than ever before. It is
regrettable, but a fact nevertheless,
that Rutland and every other COM
munity harbors even today, a year
after the country went actively into
the war, some more or less able-bod-
led men who are absolutely non-pro-
ducers, except Of dissatisfaction and
trouble. These men should be made
to labor, for in some way or other
they can be forced to produce a little
something, at least their own honest
keep. It wouldn't be bad idea to
organize everywhere a sort of ''chain
gang" of these loafers and under the
direction OF a competent foreman, put
them to work IN keeping UP the
highways or at honest, healthful la
Dor on the farms. The scheme is
feasible, and the work is needed. The
idIar cannot be Observation-Disclosures

Of these have no boys At ali. If onIy
one brood SOW were added TO each
farm in the state and these sows
should farrow and raise an average
Of OILY i've PIGS each, it would mean
an increase Of 10000 in our hog
population. By next winter these
hogs should average l80 pounds each
dressed weight, Or a total of34, $780,

some, would it not, toward supply

trying to work on your nerves and
forcing yourself that wastes your
strength, runs you down, gives you
those restless nights, loss of appetite

INTENSIVE SILO
CAMPAIGN PLANNED

Plans for an intensive silo campaign
are under way by J. c. Kline, Wayne
county agricultural agent, who will en-
deavor to get the farmers of Wayne
county to build 144 silos this year.
This is the number set by the agricul-
ture leaders of the state for this
county.
Kline is trying to find out how many
silos there are now on farms in Wayne
county, and already comittees have Wis
tied farmers who do not have them in
the interest of building one on the
farm.
Each township in the county has
been apportioned a quota of silos for
the campaign. Many organizations
are assisting in the work, the county
agent said, one of them being the
township registered mems clubs, which
are doing good work.
Harry Macy of Economy is the
county leader in this work.
