lieutenants report rather better re-
suits than had been anticipated and
have strong hopes of reaching Bar

every inhabitant in pledging himself
to purchase war savings stamps to
the limit of his ability.

Farm Labor Volunteers Wanted.

l have been notified that at recent
meeting at Montpelier 1 was chosen
as local representative of the u. S.
Bureau of La Dor for the town of Bar
ton. The object of this movement is
to secure volunteer farm labor to be
used during the rush season of hay
ing and harvesting. Your country
wants the names of all business and
professional men, clerks, and in fact,
all men in town not actively engaged
in farm work, to volunteer as many
days labor as their business will per-
NIT, during the rush season. The
farmer will pay the going price. All
who wish to help your country in this
way pleases communicate the fact to
me at once. Farmers will be thank
full for even one day. Farmers will
do well to advise me of their needs a
day or two in advance.

THE BIG DRIVE is NOW
ON IN EARNEST.
Every Community Making Supreme
Effort to Meet w. S. S. Allotment
by Friday Nights Rally.

The big drive is on in earnest and
every town in the county is making
an effort to meet it's allotment Of
War Savings Stamp sales which in
many places seems beyond reach. Yet
the amount is only $40 per inhabitant
and one has until January 1 to pay
his pledge. And he can make pay
ment in as small as 25c amounts if he
desires, without interest for deferred
payments. So if every person does
what he can in this matter, the re-
suit ought to be every town in the
county over its quota again.
In every town on Friday night is
to be rally as provided in the proc
lamations of thepresident and the
governor. Speakers will be present
and the result of the campaign in
each town will be announced.
The state chairman gives out the
following sales of stamps up to June
8, which amount in each case will of
course be subtracted from the allot-
ment In this table it will be seen
that Barton is given credit for hav-
ing taken the largest amount of any
town in the county but Glover has
taken the largest amount per inhab-
itant.
Just how the sale is to be recorded
in the starred towns where there is
no postoffice this paper does not
know but some fair method will be
used. With a county average of only
STAT per capita purchase now and
the plan for an average of $40 on
Friday night the task is one of for
midable size.
Up to June here is our record:

Local Food Administration Notes.

We have placed a quantity of sug-
ar blanks in the hands of our gro
GERS. Any person who needs 25
pounds of sugar for canning purpos-
es will please go to their grocer and
ask for one of these blanks. Please
read the blank carefully and do not
use sugar obtained in this way for
any other than canning purposes. 1t
is our patriotic duty to can, and es-
peclaliy those things which can be
canned without the use of sugar. By
so doing you will help to can the Kai-
ser.
Hereafter dealers will sell only two
pounds of sugar to a customer at anv
one time for family use.
