KING PENGUINS.

King Penguins," said Daddy, "are
birds which live near the South Pole
AND though the South Pole may sound
warm it is very, very cold.
Great men they call explorers, 90
on trips to find out what new lands
and places they can discover, and they
run all sorts of risks and dangers be-
cause OF the great cold, the snow
storms and the ice.
Penguins become very friendly with
people and men who visit in these
parts always consider the 'penguins
their greatest friends
one day Mrs. Penguin spoke to her
husband and this is what she said.
My dear, | have just laid an egg
what shall / do with it?'
Mr.. Penguin took the egg which
was quite a good sized one and mr. #

warm, comfortable feathers until IT
Matched out.
Mrs. Penguin always lays the egg
only one egg at a time which Is unlike
other birds-and Mr.. Penguin keeps
1t snug and warm until 1t is Matched.
One day, not long after this Mr..
Penguin met one Of his friends and
got into very bad fight
You're wrong, l tell YOU shouted
Mr.. Penguin to his cousin, Mr.. Peter
Penguin.
I'm not, I'm right replied Peter.
You're as wrong as bird can be-

bird as you are I'd be ashamed Of my
self If | were in your place
You're not in my place. said Pc

They were both standing up, their
white vests looking like the snow, and
then such a fight as they did have .
They fought and they fought and from
afar Mrs. Penguin came hurrying to
stop her HUSBAND
She was thinking of the egg which

bottle selling privilege was taken away
in Vermont by the legislature as a war
time precaution, greatly reducing the
amount of liquor sold in the state
Beer and ale will not be as attractive
drinks as heretofore, as the amount
of alcohol in them is now less than
three per cent. The confirmed beer
drinker win be turning away from his
tipple shortly when he begins to get
synthetic compound. Then there is
the growing sentiment in favor of total
abstinence as a means of keeping the
human organism at its highest state of
efficiency, which is personal duty in
a wartime period when every man s
work should count for as much as pos
sible. We opine that Vermont will be
more nearly dry state than ever be-
fore after the ballots are counted the
first Tuesday i'll March.

HELP FOOD ADMINISTRATION

With county organizations being
rapidly shaped IN, and volunteer in
soectors to supervise the grocer, butch
err, baker, hotel men, and other dealers
in foods, it is fairly certain that viola
tions of food administration rules will
be quickly found and adequately dealt
with.
Local food administrators can well
let the moderate police activities of
~tbeir won, drop out Of sigllt part Of
the time and turn their attention to
another side of food administration
the constructive side of helping mer-
chants in the food distributing trades
to bring about Improvements in their
business methods.
About six trades are called upon to
bear the brunt of food saving-the
grocers, butchers, bakers, hotel and res
tauraut men, dealers in confectionery
and ice cream, and the flour millers.
One after another these trades have
been swung in line with the food law
and called upon to carry an almost
overwhelming portion of readjustment,
not merely working for greater eff
cheney in their own methods but meet
ing the criticism of the public and I'M
dertaking to change the public s daily
habits
In each case trade leaders quickly
saw that teamwork was necessary to
meet the crisis. Trade organizations
have been strengthened and their men,
bership increased during the past few
months, with the result that reforms
desired for years, but impossible of ac-
I compishment on the old competitive
/ individual basis, have been put into Ell
feet through teamwork, the adoption of
the cash-and-carry plan, standardized
tion of prices and profits, elimination
of waste and duplicate service, short
ening of store hours.
! Local food administrators will find
! for each protiteer and violatOr of regu-
! lations 80 merchants in their territory
I eager 90 work with them and with one
another. The profteer or crook, when
| caught, viii usually be some obscure
dealer, whereas the merchants backing
mp the food administration with intel
ligent, loyal teamwork will be the lead
ing business men of the community.
This spirit of team work is so definite
in most communities that the local ad-
ministrator will have no difficulty in
locating and utilizing it even if it
Is not yet prominent. 1t certainly ex-
lists, and can be crystallized. organized.
and directed for constructive ends
This seems to he the proper handle
by which to take hold of local food ad-
miuistration now. Help your neighbors
who distribute foods to organize 81
that they may help themselves and the
public, and they win amply take care
Of your violators.

Timely and sensible were the words
which H. J. NJ. Jones, state fuel ad-
ministrator of Vermont, uttered in his
statement to the people of the state, is
sued yesterday We shall soon be
through the danger of suffering from
fuel shortage this season, but we must
early begin to make preparations for
another winter. As Mr.. Jones points
out the farmer cannot meet the produe-
tive demands made upon him without
an additional supply of labor, and as
the fuel problem is pre-eminently a
city and village problem it is the duty
of city and village people to resort to
all proper measures to supply them
selves with wood Vermont has vast
stores of wood available ON all sides,
and one of the tasks of the coming
months should be to get more wood
than ever before into the villages. to
supplement the coal supply in the win
ter of l9lS-l9.

Once in while the city bred mind

the city is dependent on the farms for
life itself. At such times it is Gus

heart is sound. We cannot win with
out the farmers and we know that 90
per cent of them are with the nation

consideration their peculiar problems,
among which help is chief.

However, the rains fell as did the

q deficit Of approximately $4,000 that
must he met in manner that the vot-
ers will have to determine at March
meeting. They can, of course, choose
the easy method of putting the debt
into the form of bonds and passing it
along to future generations, but that
method is less easy than usual Just now
for the reason that there is not par
ticularly brisk demand for municipal
bonds unless they carry an unusually
high rate of interest. Moreover. the
situation is somewhat complicated by
the fact that within the present fiscal
year $4,000 of old bonds fall due

July, and $4,000 of two later issues

would make possible a systematic re-
