FROM THE INDIANS
Natives Made Bread From Nuts and
Other Products Of the Forests
That Still Exist.

No. s- ~~vNv
Germany has sent her children to
the forests for oils that are badly
needed In the fatherland. Mere tots
are employed to pick up beechnuts,
which are rich In nutritious qualities
vital to the health OF the nation. II
America is ever compelled by a great
food shortage to return to nature, the
present Inhabitants of the United
States win do well, according to the
forest service of the department Of
agriculture, to take a lesson from the
original owners of the soil, Thomas F.
Logan writes in Leslie's. The forests
Of this country offer an amazing va
riety Of edibles. Americas beechnuts,
b%utternuts, walnuts, pecans, chinqua-
pins and hazelnuts are toothsome,
highly nutritious, and may be used
as a substitute for meat.
The Indians, according to forest
service experts, mixed chestnuts with
cornmeal and made a bread which was
baked in corn husks, like tamales. Our
redskin predecessors also manufac-
tured q -four from the fruit Of the oak.
They pounded the acorns and leached
out the tannin by treating the pulp
withhot water. The result was a pala-
table and nourishing bread. Pine
seeds, wild persimmons, wild crab ap-
pies, bulbs Of the Judas tree and pods
Of the honey locust, cabbage, palmetto,
mesquite and sassafras are excellent
substitutes for cultivated fruits and
vegetables. Nature is SO prodigal Of
her riches In this country that America
can never be starved to death by an
ssiron ring"

WHY POORLY MANAGED CITIES
inefficient OFFICIALS Placed In Charge
Of Affairs Of Which They Know
Nothing; Extravaganza Follows.

A big city-whose affairs, says the
Chicago Post, are more complex than
those of any private corporation;
whose revenues and expenditures art
counted In many millions; whose ad.
ministration affects the prosperity,
health and morals Of q million or more
people-selects from among its citi.
zens a politician, good fellow, Joiner,
and makes him its mayor. He ap-
points to Office men of his own kind,
chosen for personal or political rea-
sons
And then we wonder that extrava.
gance, i~neficiency and worse mark mu.
nicipal government.
A. big city puts on its council ward
politicians and individuals who have
never displayed a capacity for any use
full occupation, and we wonder that
the public interest Is neglected.
A big city puts on its school board
men who have no knowledge Of edu-
cational problems, and we wonder that
our schools are mismanaged.
It IL the i%nefficiency of democracy,
We say. Rather, 1t is the stupidity of
people who have never tried to realize
] the possibilities Of democracy; who
have never given democracy a chance.
It IL no essential principle Of democ-
racy to ignore the necessity Of training
for service. But that ls what we have
been doing. We persist In regarding
public position as political Jobs rather
than as occasions for the employment
Of trained men In the doing Of highly
specialized work. 81 5St>+
Mayor Mitchell Of New York declares
It to be his experience that trained
men are practically unobtainable for
municipal office. And that win re-.
main true until we provide for their
training and create q popular demand
for their service. #7

Acids Endanaer Ships.

Shipmasters dislike carrying drums
of acid where they cannot be reached
readily. A Chilean ship, the Japan Ad-
vertiser says, recently put in at the
Falkland islands leaking badly. Her
cargo was made up Of drums Of acid
and chalk. The acid had leaked from
the drums and mixed with the chalk,
forming carbonic acid gas In the hold.
This gas is deadly and the crew could
not make repairs. Meantime the acid
had gathered at the bottom Of the hold
and eaten away the iron frames Of the
ship.

Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
- of American home we know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in free land under free in
sttutons? Shall such children develop into the
Lberty-loving citizens that free America may
be proud of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought valiantly, and died CALAMITY, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posteritv the
blessings of liberty, JUSTICE self-government and
equal opportunity This precious heritage, bought
at so great price. is now threatened
The question which today confronts America
as nation, and you as an individual, is
whether or not free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unimpared the legacy of
freedom of which we the custodians, or
shall their country be turned over bodily to the
brutal, rapaclous, power mad enemy which has
forced into this war?

The War Savings campaign in Yer
mont for the week ending March sc
1918, presents gratifying and encour
ing results. The net sales amour
to $6S,697.2S, the largest thus ia
made. The per capita sale for thu
State has gone over the one dollar
mark with five counties in that class
namely, Caledonia, Rutland, Washing
ton, Windham and Bennington. The
five leading cities or towns are Mont.
pelier, Lyndon, Pawlet, Danville and
Groton in the order named.
Attention Is called to the fact that
War Savings Certificate Stamps may
be registered without cost to the
owner regardless of where or by whom
purchased, at postoffices of the first,
second and third class. Postmasters
at distributing money order offices OF
the fourth class are also authorized
to register War Savings Certificate
Stamps upon application and approval
by the Third Assistant Postmaster
General. Such authorization for
fourth class offices 10 hereby strongly
advised.
The loyal army of workers In oul
campaign Is urged to continue it's eff.
forts In the formation OF War Saving.
Societies, local drives, house to house
canvass and educational work in the
practice Of thrift and to set forth in
a convincing way that the savings SO

Bloch informed

tern Slegmund Bloch for the re
mainder of the war as alien enemy
although belated. is none the les
welcome in this community.
Bloch's arrest several months ag
caused little surprise. His subse
quent release, on the basis of fou
affidavits secured by his attorney
(instead of many as a Burlington
morning contemporary states in it
news story of Bloch's arrest) no
only was mystifying, but caused il
many persons feeling not unakin tt
disgust.
The man did not enjoy the conf
dence of the people. He had beer
too blatant in his pro-Germanism be.
fore the United States entered the
war. He had even expressed doubt
Is to where he would stand in case
the United States went to war. His
conduct previous to Americas en-
trance into the fray was such as to
rob the conversion which he affected
Of its impressiveness.
A man who rejoiced at the sinking
Of the Lusitania never could sense
the American ideal. never could d.
vorce himself from the influence of
Kultur. no matter what his pretense
might be.
A man who was negotiating for
the purchase of German war bonds
to be deposited to his account in a
German bank to be claimed by him
after the war was over and after he
had returned to the Fatherland.
couldn't very we'll have his heart in
this country's welfare.
There was too much opportunity
for Bloch to do harm to his country.
St. Adams is a railroad center and
In 4 nearby town were two NUM-
ton plants, one of which has been
reduced to ruins by fire and ex-
plosion. There was a justifable
feeling Of apprehension, and those
who knew something of previous
Investigations were the more appre-
hensive.
The contention of those who dec
Jared that Bloch should not have
been released in tie first instance is
now indicated by the action of the
federal authorities. His rearrest
is also reputation of the manner
OF his release in the first instance.
On the signing of affidavits and
the like which figured in his release
It Is enough to say that developments
are a good commentary on what
John Morley would characterize as
''unsound and misapplied sympathy,
divorced from knowledge and un-
touched by cool comprehension of
One notices that Bloch will make

hat this means there has been a

hat the government is no longer
going to deal with these men and
women on a policy of sweetness

The country has put Iup with too
many bomb outrages and other
