MONTPELIER BOY SCOUTS
"CALLED TO THE OOLORS''

The fact that adjoining states to
idaho have already organized Boy
Scout troops, and the further fact
4hat President Wilson has given
scouting. a definite place In the ma
'tional affairs, Idaho has taken up the
plan and we are pleased to be able to
state this week that Montpelier is
among the first towns to move up"
in the matter of organization. There
are a number of boy scouts here who
were a part of the former organiza-
tion who are again heartily anxious
to see a revival of their hikes, and
now that there has been located a
real scoutmaster in the person of Mr..
f. C. Sargeant. the White Sewing
Machine agent OF this place, we can
hope to see Montpelier boys doing
their part for war conditions de
manding an increase in numbers and
efficiency in the way of mobilizine
2.OOO, 900 boy scouts of America
There would be that number If meT
who may not go to the front would
undertake at home this work of prac
teal patriotism. The boys who arr
not yet scouts are Just as anxious t.
serve the nation as the boy scouts
who are.
Right now is the time to begil
making definite plans for the 1s1i
gardening campaign. The boy scout
of America did fairly well at thi
feeding-the-soldNer business last year

carried to our own Atlantic seaboard.
One OF the biggest factors, and per-
haps the deciding factor in this war.
is the question of food.
In times Of peace GERMANY pro-
duced four-hfths of her own food
supplies, while England produced
only one-fifth, France one-half. Bel.
gium one-tenth and Italy two-thirds
of the amount necessary for their
people. The seas are sown with Ger
man submarines, and il is easier for
Germany to starve our Allies and our
our soldiers at the front. than ii is
for us to starve Germany. Germany
may be hungry but she will not
starve. Under normal conditions. be-
fore the war, the Allied nations were
compelled to import an average of
forty per cent of their food supply.
Since the war commenced their pro~
duction has very greatly decreased.
The farms of France are producing
on the average barely half as much
today as they we're producing in the
year 1918.
In her first attack upon France,
Germany captured and carried off
2,5OO,OOO French cattle, at the very
time when the burden was thrown
upon the unconquered portions of
France OF feeding millions of refu-
gees from Belgium and the conquered
portions of her own land.
| Not only is there a shortage of
food in Europe, but there is an in
creased demand for it, Clerks, law
yers and physicians, who are taken
from their offices and put into the
strenuous toll of the trenches. need
more food than before. Women who
are taken from lace making and home
keeping and put into the heavy labor
Of munitions factories require more
food.
In the effort to meet this demand
| for food, all of the nations OF Europe
as well. as our own country have
been killing off their herds, that is
destroying their capital stock in cat.
tie. This means a serious condition
not only today but for several years
after the war is over.
Il Is imperative that we send food
