SAID THAT HINDENBURG'S MIND
is GOING.

GENEVA, June 24.-The Tribune
says it learns from a reliable source
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
is suffering from an acute nervous
disease; that his mental capacity is
much affected, and that he is con-
fined in a private sanitarium. The
newspaper adds that Hindenburg took
no responsible part in the recent
offensive on the western front, the
work being chiefly done by General
Ludendorff.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-06-25

The President Of the United States
has called upon the loyal men and
women Of America to pledge them
selves to save for victory. He has
issued an earnest appeal to all Amer
leans to buy War Savings Stamps as
regularly as possible, investing in this
form Of security the money saved
through avoiding needless expendi-
lures.
''The 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the greatest
volunteer army of production and saw
ing here at home. MAY THERE BE
NONE UNBNLIsTED ON THAT
DAY"
What loyal American will refuse to
respond to this appeal issued by the
executive head of this nation and the
commander-in-chief of our armed
forces?
We have the opportunity to enlist
In this volunteer army of production
and saving" In Germany 1t is a mat
ter of compulsion. The iron hand Of
the German autocracy forces it harshly
upon the German people, depriving
them not merely of luxuries, but of the
barest necessities of life We are ask
cd in America to voluntarily postpone
our needless luxuries so that our SOL
diers and sailors may not lack their
necessary equipment. What the Ger
man nation does under rigid compul-
sion, certainly Americans will do in a
mild way voluntarily. It is unthink-
able that there is man, woman or
child in America who will refuse to
sign the pledge to save and to invest
. portion Of the savings In War Saw
ings Stamps.
We must respond to the Presidents
solemn appeal-we must sign the
pledges, not because we feel forced to,
but because it is an opportunity for US
to help win the war. The pledges
should be signed cheerfully. willingly,
gratefully.
When the war is over and the period
Of readjustment sets in, then will the
wisdom and the soundness Of the War
Savings movement become strikingly
apparent to all. There Is now more
money in circulation than ever before
in the history of the world, and this
condition is likely to prevail after the
war is over. But 1t is not the nation
which has merely money that will have
the advantage in the coming days of
reconstruction, but rather the nation
which has the most available supply of
goods and material of all kinds.
When an individual invests in War
ing money. He is saving, in reality,
the material which he would otherwise
have bought. 1t is not lack of money
that worries Germany-it is the lack of
necessary materials. A government
can practically create money, but 1t
can not create material
When the war is over it - predicted
that all nations will compete In South
American and Oriental trade. II
America-at present the nation of
greatest resOurces-conserves her re-
sourcss-she will naturally be In a po-
sition after the war to dominate inter
national trade and maintain the ma
tional prosperity. But II we continue
TO squander goods at the same time
that we double our demands by sup
plying the Government for war pur-
poses, we are wasting labor and mate
rial of which we will be in sore need
after the war.

PLANT POTATOES NOW
Appeal to Chittenaen County Farmer,
to Grow More Tubers

Appeal to CAitteaden County TURNER'S
to Grow More Tuber.
Perhaps q timely warning to every
farmer in Chittsnden county would
be decidedly to his and the country's
advantage at the present time.
living conditions are fast becoming
more difficult ard IL the farmers de-
crease their acreage of potatoes a
calamity will result.
Among the farmers of Chittenden
county 1t has been noted that very
few ara increasing their potatoes
acreage this year, Of that Of last.
None perhaps have taken into consid-
GRAFTON the seriousness Of the war
situation as controlled by the food
consumed and produced.
This Is a most critical time in the
lives Of our people and time when
sustaining foods are needed. Pota-
toes are a staple product for all.
Probably this war will be won by the
side which has the most potatoes to
feed their fighting men and the
stay at-homes.
Only the nation that makes every foot
Of land produce something can ex-
pect a decisive victory. Waste not
your land but plant now.
There are hundreds Of acres Of excel
lent land in Chittenden county that
could be planted with potatoes with
pleasing financial results.
All farmers in other states are plant
ing more. Why not Vermont and
Chittenden county? Back the gov
eminent with your vacant land.
This Is your war and you have got
to win It, Smash the German by
feeding our soldiers and our people.
Only part Of you farmers can go across
and into the trenches. Work in
your own trenches under peace con-
ditions and defeat the Hun.
Easy 10 your lot compared to the lot
of possibly your boy who may be
| in No Mans Land now fighting for
your life and those Of your family.
! 90 Mr.. Farmer take up your peaceful
war against autooracy and the Kali
ser by using your trenches at home
to everybody's advantage.
Now Is the time to get your potatoes
into the soil and when tho harvest
comes you will be benefited a hum
dred fold for your work.
| Once in the ground they mean food

your allies, food for yourself and
family and a good financial return.

BURLINGTON's MILK PROBLEM

The people Of Burlington are proven
bially patient and at times long suffer-
lng. We have allowed some tendencies
TO 60 on until we are charged with being
the most expensive community in all
New England in which to live. We have
put up with some conditions that New
York or Boston would not tolerate for a
moment, despite the price we pay for
the good things Of life.
Just now our good housewives are be-
ing bothered to the point Of desperation
by their experiences in connection with
the city's milk supply. When the milk
routes were combined, Our people tolsr-
ated failure to receive their accustomed
allotments for a time on the supposition
that new men were putting new milk IN
old bottles. It was supposed that with
the advantage Of familiarity added to the
thoroughness resulting from the conhn-
Ing Of a route to a single team, regular
aty might be hoped for as an ultimate con-
sequence Of the change in Burlington's
milk system
Some Of. our people. when they do get
their supply Of milk, are uncertain
whether old milk has been put In new
bottles or new milk in old bottles. In any
event some people who have been forced
70 60 to the central milking station have
complained that their milk soured before
they could get It to their homes. That
may have been something Of metaphor
seal statement but the threat Of the au-
thoriies to prosecute somebody IL near.
sour milk continued to be substituted for
sweet milk was no figure Of speech. It
was based upon miltitudnous complaints
and meant business.
Another figure Of speech was the threat
OF one user to prosecute somebody be-
cause he had found trace Of cream re-
manning in his bottle Of milk Another
said he had found a milk ticket in his
bottle Of milk, and a bystander asked
what he expected. pound Of butter?
Now we are not inclined to fly into a
milk system is not like a new broom.
We cannot expect It to sweep clean, and
therefore there will be milk at times that
has not been thoroughly busted. Even a
separator cannot get out all the cream
Or other Objectionable particles. We must
make allowances for all these things.
In the course Of time our milk COM
Fbination may be able to supply all fam.
Nies with milk In which there shall be
absolutely no cream and otherwise thor
'oushly clean; that will keep sweet with
out prsservatives until it can be put upon
fhe table in the morning. and that shall
DO at least as nourishing as chalk or lime
and water
In the meantime. IL there is a live tndi-
Sidusa milk dealer left who can furnish
> bottle OF clean milk with the old.time
cream on top. he will be greeted with &C.
claim on his appearance by a host Of
