VERMONT W. s. :. NOTES
State is Awakening to the Importance
of the Big Nation. Wide Drive

Nearly every county in Vermont has
organized its campaign for the sale OF
U. S. Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
The larger places are already prepar-
ing for house toulouse canvass.
In some cities and towns it is being
planned to organize 81 900 clubs, mem
bership to include those who promise
to buy 81 900 worth of Thrift stamps
during 1918. In other places $500
clubs and 5000 clubs are in prospect.
1t is the aim of Commissioner Hille-
gas Of the state educational depart
ment to get every school in Vermont
enrolled in the Thrift Stamp campaign
and then TO secure as nearly as pos
sible a 100 per cent participation by
the pupils in each school. Now and
then a school reports a 100 per cent
participation already.
The larger secret societies are TAX
ing hold of the movement and are ap-
pointing committees to get every
member to purchase Thrift Stamps.
Storekeepers are coming forward
with offers to sell the stamps and they
are making arrangements with the
banks for their supply. The govern
ment depends upon the storekeepers
for a large part of the sale of the
stamps.
State Director Fred A. Rowland ap-
pealed to the ministers, and from 500
letters received 300 replies pledging
support in the movement. Most of the
others, while not replying direct, be-
gan at once to spread "the gospel OF
thrift" and Thrift Stamps.
To secure general participation il
is a good idea to charge 35 cents or sc
, for an entertainment and then present
Thrift Stamps TO every person at
! tending.
, Vermonters should have 100000
holders Of Thrift Stamps or War Saw
ings Stamps on December 81, 1918.
It's chance we have to help wiz
the war.

Through the efforts Of the Benning-

Sl98l5 has been raised in the county
to nav it's share of the demonstrator'
expenses.
A committee composed of j. d.
Whittier and S. Everett Harwood re-
opested the superintendent and teach
ers of the county to cooperate with
them in raising the fund by having the
nupils make a house to house canvass
in their respective districts. Several
schools held food sales or entertain
monts to raise the money Catherine
Williams of Manchester, secured Sll
tho largest amount secured by any in
divdual pupil.
The results have been even better
than anticipated. Not only DO the
people of Bennington county generous
! lv respond to calls for money to be
sent out Of the county but they are
equally desirous of contributing ioi
things within the county.

MY VALENTINE

Ny Valentine is pure as snow
And gentle as the spring,
And lovely as the summer glow,
And best Of everything.
Ny Valentine is true as steel,
Her wealth would you be told
She can't be bought, but here's the
bill,
She's worth her weight in gold.
Ny Valentine is sweeter far
Than Natures floral beauties are,
From whence the toilsome bee doth
strive
To store the chambers Of his hive.
Nv Valentine is wondrous fair,
With flashing eyes and raven hair.
And for her cake I'd gladly dare
To face the focman "Over There"

COUNTY PRIZE ESSAY
'How ! May Help to Conserve Food

"How ! May Help to Conserve Food"
Since President Wilson issued a
formal declaration of war in April,
1917, the question has been asked by
nearly every individual person, "What
can | do to help my country?" Being
only boy, perhaps, there isn't much
but after careful consideration ] have
decided to try and help conserve the
food, which is needed now more than
ever.
The shortage has been caused by
our having TO supply our soldiers and
the allies in France with food. AS
this has to cross the water the sub
marines and mines have sunk many OF
the ships containing wheat and other
grains.
There has always been much waste
in this country which also helps TO
shorten our food supply. We cannol
help the sinking Of ships, but we can
help TO stop the needless waste in this
country.
can do this by eating just enough
TO keep well and not too much; by
avoiding all needless waste, by using
what can be used from leftovers; by
giving the rest to the pigs or hens; by
using fish instead Of meat, and sub
stitutes for wheat -four; by needless
spending Of money; by not eating be-
tween meals and by not eating sweet
stuffs.

Owing 10 the hearty response OF our

The Red Cross is deeply indebted to
the generosity of Mrs. Charles lsham
who has contributed not only the ma
terial but finished knitted garments
of beautiful quality, and especially left
the matter of their distribution to the
pleasure of the supply committee This
has made it possible for our Manches-
ter men TO have some comforts which
would not have been possible under
Red Cross regulations, as well as to
augment our shipments to Red Cross
headquarters.
The Red Cross is very anxious to see
that all men enlisted or drafted from
Manchester are comfortably suppliesd
with pajamas, sweaters, scarfs, wrist
lets, woolen socks, helmets and com
fort bags before going to the encamp-
ments and will appreciate the assist
ance of anyone who will notify the
secretary of the names of any whom
they know to be going. Under the
new Red Cross regulations it will b'
extremely difficult to supply the mel

TACOMA PREACHER JAILED
 FOR PARKING AUTO WRONG

TACOMA: Rev. Frank Dyes. pas tor of the First Congregational church of this city was put in jail and later taken into police court charged with leaving his car parked in a prohibited zone on Eleventh street.
 "I'n rot in jail before I pay a line for a mistake" Is the reported state ment made by Rev. Dyer to the city police officer who arrested him.
 He was taken to the city jail and placed In Cell 1. A chair was given him for comfort, and the noted di- vine consoled himself by reading the mottos left on the wall by previous prisoners. Among them was, Peace on earth, good will toward fellow man."
 Dr. Dyer was arrested last week and slip was left in the car ordering him to appear in police court. He did not put up the g bail or appear be- fore the court and warrant was is- sued for his arrest.
 When brought to the police station he was notified that he would have to put up a cash bail to appear in court or else he would be placed in jail.
 "T will put up no bail" he retort- ed angrily.
 Police Judge Graham later releas- ed the prisoner after fining him $2, which Dyer refused to pay. Graham held that inasmuch as Dyer had served fraction of time in jail he had technically served his sentence.
 There are too many petty lava and not enough supervision. said Dr. Dyer later. '"The ordinances con- trolling the liberties of citizens are without any element of reasonable less. It is unfair to make man q criminal because he leaves his car on one corner instead of another cor ner unaware of the exact location the city fathers have determined. They have never informed the public of these restrictions. 1t is an absurd way of taking care of the welfare of the city"
 He said he had parked his car on TTth St. because the usual place had been torn up. and that he only step ped into the Commercial club few minutes on public business.

U-BOATS CAN BE BEATEN
 IF PEOPLE DO PART

NEW YORK: How secretly the United States dispatched the first flo- tilla of torpedo boat destroyers last April to join the British navy in the hunt for German subs was made pub lie recently by Commander J. K. R. Taussig. who took them across the Atlantic.
 So anxious was the government that the outside world in general should know nothing of the move ment of these ships.' Commander Taussig said. that not even I. who was in command of the expedition, was informed of our destination.
 My orders were to proceed to a point fifty miles east of Cape Cod and then open my sealed instructions Until I got to that point at midnight of the first night out, did not know that our first port of call was to be Queenstown. Ireland.
 The British naval men were very glad to see us. Things were looking black. In the three previous weeks the submarines had sunk l52 British ships. We immediately had depth bombs installed so as to fight the sub marines.
 We escorted many ships and we saved many lives. l cannot say we sank any submarines. The submarine. found. was a very difficult bird to catch. He always sees you first. Only once did my vessel in seven months, succeed in actually firing at a subma- rine He then went down after the fifth shot was fired. At that. he was five miles away But what they are afraid of are the depth bombs. While cannot say positively that I sank any submarines, I saw results on sev- eral occasions which led me to be- lieve that I had at least damaged one or two.
 "The patrol duty was very trying. as the ocean was strewn with wreck age for a distance of 300 miles off shore It was hard to tell a periscope when we saw one. We fired at fish, floating spars and other objects, be- cause we could not afford to take a chance. The submarine grew less ac tive. or did less damage. as the sum- mer wore on.
 "The question is, can we beat the submarine? am sure we can, If the people will do their part"
