CowLEs FIGHTS FOR CHILDREN.
Former Brattleboro Man Files Excep-
tions to Ruling Giving Children to
His Former Wife.

DIR. Edward S. Cowles, who with his
family formerly lived in Brattleboro, has
filed in Portsmouth, n. H., personal bill
of exceptions to the ruling of Judge John
T.. Allen of the superior court recently
rendered in favor of Mrs. Florence ia
quith Cowles of Brooklnc, Mass. where
by she was given complete custody of the
two children.
He takes exception to that part of the
decree which reads as follows IF the
father first files with the court a signed
statement accepting the terms of this de-
cree and agreeing to be governed by it,
the children shall be permitted to be with
him on such visits as he may make at
such place or places in or near Boston and
on such days as the custodian may con-
slider proper, and the children on all occa-
sions to be returned to the mother by
shutdown and may pass not exceeding one
week during Christmas season with him,
the limits of such visits TO be determined
by the custodian, and may spend one of
the months of July or August as deter
mined by the custodian with him or his
family at Cowlesville or some other suit
able vacation resort"
The father states that the court has no
authority to require him to file an accept
ance of the terms, as it would be an ac-
acknowledgement that many of his witnesses
were false and gave perjured testimony,
that the courts ruling is humiiating and
repugnant to his self-respect and that it
is practical separation from his chill
dren.
He cannot admit over his signature the
morality of his former wife and concludes
with the statement that his witnesses
were all reputable people of good address
and appearance and his acceptance of the
decree would admit that he was guilty of
subonation of perjury.

ATTITUDE UNPATRIoT1c.
Crowd of Springfield (vt) Citizens
Pays Visit to Home Of Man of Means
Who Refuses to Buy Bonds.

Springfeld's attitude toward persons
of means who refuse to buy Liberty bonds
was given spectacular demonstration
Monday night about $50, when delega-
ton of more than 200 persons headed by
the Springfield band and Company l., V.
V. NJ, marched down Main street carry
ing banner inscribed Every NIiser
Helps the Kaiser" and paid their re-
spects to j. Quincy Damon, well-known
citizen of the town who thus far has re
fused to put any of his money into gov
eminent war securities.
In front of the Damon home at LAG
Main street Capt. d. r. Barney of Com
pany l. made a brief speech in which he
outlined the obligations Of all loyal cit
liens. In response to his summons Garlic
ton Damon, son OF j. Quincy, appeared at
the door of his home and stated that he
had bought a Liberty bond and hoped
that his father would The young man
was told that the delegation had no quar-
rel with him but wanted to be sure that
his father had an opportunity to sign a
bond application.
After going into the house for a few
moments the younger Damon returned
and informed the crowd that his father
said he had no money to invest. There
upon the son was told to say to his
father that local bank official was will
ing to loan the gentleman any sum from
$500 to $1,000 to invest in the cause Of
liberty. When this message had no effect
Capt. Barney told young Damon to tell
his father that if he didn't fill out and
sign a bond application before Saturday
he would receive another visitation.
1t was also stated that several other
residents of Springfield were likely to re-
ceive visits if their applications were not
forthcoming promptly.

TO SAVE POULTRY INDUSTRY.
A. NJ Iovenberg Of Putney Member of
Dtrectorate-Wtl Gladly Give Pro-
ducers Information.

A meeting of poultry producers was
held in Boston April 16 with about
200 attending. A set of bylaws was
discussed and passed forming the New
England Poultry Producers Exchange,
with headquarters to be at Boston. The
exchange will be affiliated with the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange
now well organized and doing excel
lent work
The object of the exchange will be
supplies and marketing of products
In the latter case system of grading,
packing and labelling will be resoted
to, in order to etablish a reliable
and uniform product to the consumers
throughout the New England states
Means will be taken to prevent the
dumping of a large surplus of eggs in
one place, as in New York in March,
thus causing great fluctuations in 9TH
err places where the supply was way be.
low normal.
New Englanders are now buying
" fresh y eggs from Ohio California,
and in one case from China. The
housewife is evidently not aware of
the great imposition being put on her;
nor is she aware that eggs have great
food value, easily obtained, in convcn-
lent form for use, and on plane, if
not above, other food products even
at an advanced cost 1t is an object
of the exchange to bring some of these
things to her notice.
The following were chosen as dircc-
tors of the exchange: W. II. Mayo,
Brooks Farrar, Lester Tompkins, ], II.
Lord, Prof. J. c. Graham, Walter B.
Farmer, Prof. w. +. Kirkpatrick, W.
II. Smart, II. B. Gilmore, Paul p. Ives,
A. NJ Lovenburg, F. NJ. Peasley, II. M.
Tucker. Mr. Farmer was made treas.
urer and r. l.. Morgan clerk.
Mr.. Lovenburg is resident of Put
ney and desires to get as many as pos
sible of the poultry producers of the
state to become members of the ex-
change, for he is DESTROYS of helping
the small producers to overcome their
difficulties. 1t is from the small
producers that the bulk of poul
try products comes, and it is they
who must arise to the situation and
cooperate, not only to help raise the
l 100000 tons of poultry the govern
ment is urgently asking for, but to save
the poultry industry of New England
from the ruin which is, not slowly, but
rapidly, approaching. True co,opera-
ton is what is now vitality essential.
1t is expected that the board of di-
rcctors will meet shortly to choose a ]

FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR.
Canning Factories viii Accept as Lit.
tie as Half an Acre.

Much depends on tho farmers of the
country if we are to govern ourselves
after the war is over. Plant crops that
will keep through the winter, or those
that can be canned Gamers are now
paying prices which should stimulate
planting crops for canning, and canned
foods, especially corn, peas and toma-
toes, are used extensively for the army
and navy because they can be easily
transported and will keep indefinitely
under any conditions. Canned foods
are not affected by dampness and 9th
err conditions which spoil dried foods.
Gamers are urged to make a big drive
for acreage, and to let nothing stand
in the way of greatly increased pro-
duction. The government tells them
that big production of canned foods
is as necessary as subscriptions to the
Liberty loans. Many who cannot sub.
scribe freely to the loans can plant
n small acreage, at least, to corn, peas
or tomatoes for the canning factories
in the neighborhood, and if everybody
who could, would plant one acre, even
if they have never before planted for
their cannery, the production all over
the country would be enormous.
Farmers should think this over, and
they will see that here is a way in
which they can be of great service to
the country in its hour of need. While
small acrcages are not often solicited
by tho canncrics, most of them will
accept, under present circumstances,
even half acre. If one has not been
patron of the local canning factory,
he should become one now, even if he
cannot plant more thnn onc-holf to one
acre.
