gian and French Relief.


The instructions from the state Of
flee relative to the drive the Vermont
Chapter planned for the relief for the
civilian population Of Belgium and
France did not reach Manchester un-
til the afternoon of March 20. With
characteristic promptness the work
was undertaken even though public
announcement at that time was i'm
possible. Mr.. Shaw enlisted the Sen-
mary as publicity committee ane
local committees in the four villages
worked promptly and efficiently with
the result that 1116 good garments,
81 soft hats and 1873 pairs of shoes
were shipped on schedule time Tues
day, March 26th. The weight of the
shipment is not known at this writing
but three large boxes and three barrels
will in the opinion Of the committee
in charge Of packing more than fill our
quota Of 1900 pounds. We shall hope
to announce the weight next week.
Special thanks of the Red Cross is
due the local committees, the Semin-
airy, the Levin Store at the Depot for
the gift Of Is new coats and rs pairs
of new shoes, local dealers for the gift
Of packing cases, Mr.. Robinson for the
use of his bungalow for storage and
packing accommodations, George Rey-
nolds for general helpfulness in pack
ing and last but no means least the

which undertook the laborious task Of
counting and packing the
contributions. The cheerful spirit Of
cooperation among our people in all

Of great qualification to those who
have the work in charge.

State Institutions


situations for the month discuss the
manner In which the recommended
| tons OF the federal food administra-
ton are being followed AT the in
dustrial school at Vermont there are
regularly three meatless days week
and some weeks they have four meat
less days As substitutes for meat,
fish Is used on two days, vegetables
the third day and occasionally mac
aroni on the fourth day For TWO
weeks previous to the $3.50 order
and ever since, the school has been
using the other cereals in substitu-
ton for wheat TO the extent OF 50qo.
For one whole week corn bread was
the only bread served. The use OF
sugar has been curtailed so that only
about two thirds of the amount form
erly used is now being consumed.
At the state hospital the consump-
ton OF wheat -four has been reduced
to about 500 OF what II was before
the use of substitutes was com
menced To quote the report OF the
superintendent: The National Food
Administration has asked for bread
containing 200 cereals other than
wheat. We have found in our ex-
periments that using ordinary white
hominy feed we can use as high as
$3.50 and still get very satisfactory
bread. This bread is palatable, of
good texture and nutritious" The
consumption OF wheat -four Is also re-
duced by the use of oat products,
graham, rye -four corn meal and
buckwheat -four. There has been a
saving in sugar of 1900 pounds
month
AT the school for feeble minded at
Brandon the children have been hav-
ing 13 wheatless and II meatless
meals week, which is compensated
by the much more extensive use OF
milk of which the institution has a
large quantity. The consumption of
sugar has been reduced to two pounds
per person per month.

state prison and house Of correction
Is particularly difficult as there the |
most of the inmates are performing |

on in bread making $50 OF white |
-four is used For breakfast and sup
pers other breads than wheat bread I
are used so that the consumption OF |
white -four is not over 500 of the |
normal consumption in the past. Dur
ing the last three months the average /
of sugar for 200 persons
has been 364 pounds Of graduated and
1874 pounds of brown sugar per month,
an average Of 21a pounds per person
per month of brown and graduated
combined
For some time bread had been the
main item Of food at the house Of cor
Iection and consequently substitu-
ton has been difficult However
since the federal order an attempt to
comply with the $3.50 basis has been
made although because Of shortage

Comm ssioner OF Agriculture.

During the month there have been
held is farmers meetings In connec-
ton with creameries working Under
agreement with the department Of
agriculture al which the average at
tendance was Co. Plans have been
| formulated for the organization Of
farm war council for increased food
production campaign. and F. H,
Bickford OF Bradford has been ap-
pointed as farm labor agent to work
on the problem of securing farm la
Dor. The following quotation is
from the report OF the commissioner
relating to the insect suppression
work:
Scouting work carried on shows
that the State is practically free from
the browntail moth. In 1913 the
eastern border OF the State was
badly infested. In 1914 the in
festation reached its greatest
heights and several men were en-
ployed during the winter to cut of
and burn all the nests which could
be found In the infested areas. The
total expenditure for this work was
So, 20316. In 1915 an expenditure Of
about half this sum was sufficient to
clean the infested areas and the cost
has decreased every year since. We
may expect a further infestation,
however, from Massachusetts and
New Hampshire if weather condi-
tons are favorable during the Pc
Rod when the insect is in the flying
state. Indications point to very
slight infestation of the tent caterpil-
lar next season. This Is encourag-
ing because this insect has done
great damage to fruit trees for sew
eral seasons"

BLOOD AND ZION.
(By Walt Mason.)

Great Bismarck lay expiring, in
trouble dread and drear; he saw this
world retiring, and 'tother drawing
near. Biographers have written
how specters raked his brain; his iron
soul was smitten by dire remorse and
pain. II made blood run like water,"
he moaned again, again; land l have
sent to slaughter eight hundred
thousand men. It gnaws me like q
cancer, the thought Of al my dead;
and now I 60 to answer for human
blood I've she'd" Az mad a. any
halter poor Bismarck must have been
to mind so small . matter-eight
hundred thousand men! It's plain he
was martyr to some imagined i'll it
wouldn't be . starter that lot, to Kali
ser Bill. Such small and paltry
numbers as racked the man Of steel,
would not disturb Bills slumbers, or
make him miss a meal. They would
not make him paler, or draw . longer
breath; he's not cheap retailer, in
such a trade as death. When Will
helm lies expiring, and from his royal
lair telegraphers, are wiring the glad
news everywhere, he'll see, in shadow
regions, the victims of his crime, and
he will count their legions million
at q time.

TEACHERS NEEDED

In November there was said to be
four hundred vacancies in the teach
ing staff Of the New York public
schools; and apparently that was typ
ical of general situation. It il
remarkable that the teaching force of
the country was not more deplsted
in numbers. For four years teach
er's pay-meager enough to begin
with, as general proposition-has
been pretty steadily failing in pur-
chasing power.
At the same time, many other &C.
equations, whose requirements, on the
whole, ara less exacting, have been
briskly bidding for employees. Only
habit, an investment in the technical
training and experience of teaching
and, no doubt, inclination and hope
of better conditions-could have held
so many teachers to their jobs when
other jobs were Offering all the way
from fifty to hundred per cent
greater pay.
Everybody knows what must hap
pen to a calling if rival callings that
require no greater experience, ability
or training are constantly outbidding
it.
The more alert and ambitious can
didates will gravitate to the rival
callings.
No after-war question requires
mora earnest attention than public
education. And finally, with due re-
spect for every intelligent movement
toward better methods of instruction,
we cannot have great deal better
article of public education unless we
ara willing to pay great deal more
money for it. That is fundamental.
And if we do not care enough about
public education to be willing to pay
q great deal more for it than we have
ever paid in the past let US drop our
cant and talk about something else.

LIVE FOOD ADMIN.
IsTRATION NEWS

I'VE pledge to our country our best
effort to prevent waste and unselfish
use Of our food reserves. We
pledge our loyal cooperation in car
rying out the conservation measures
suggested by the Government.
"And If economy sometime grows
irksome, or if this service works un-
welcome changs in our manner Of liv-
ing, We will think Of those who have
gievn their lives for their country
and. Of those whose homes have b.en
devastated. We will be glad to
hear that we, too, can serve in sat
isfying their hunger, in renewing
their sourage, and In re-establishing
their homes"
This pledge and resolutions endors-
ing it were adopted and passed by
countless meetings Of women's organ
izations throughout the country last
week. The occasion was Women's
Organization Day in the "Conserva-
ton Week for World Relief" being
held by the United States Food Ad-
ministration The women, as house.
wives, were asked by speakers to re-
main modified until the Allies and
the liberated millions of Europe are
fed. Americas food pledge Of 20
million tons, the leading capacity of
American ports, for the relief Of more
than 800 million hungry people of the
world, was dwelt upon by our speak
ers.
While ths Hun is defeated, it was
stated, hunger reigns in Europe. In
Poland and Serbia hardly child is
left alive. Fields are weed-chokcd
and those who formerly titled them lie

and childless women are left alone 10
