MOTOR LINES FOR FARMERS.
Hoover Commends Extension of the
Rural Express.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Federal
Food Administrator Herbert c. Hoover.
has indorsed the extension of the
rural motor express as an aid to food
production and distribution. In a letter
to the highways transport committee of
the council of national defense, made
public yesterday, he says:
The development of the rural mo-
tor express idea, in my opinion. is in
the line of progress and should rebound
to the benefit of the producer, the con
sumer, and the railroads. This means
of transportation should facilitate de-
livery, conserve labor, conserve food
stuffs, and should effect delivery of
foods in better condition.
The organization of new rural express
lines in the vicinity of cities is being
urged through the state councils of de.
fensc, cooperating with the national
council. Surveys of existing lines show
that in nearly every instance there has
been a marked increase in the pro
duction of perishable foodstuffs as soon
as line is established. The heavy load
on local shipping facilities has made il
difficult for farmers to get supplies, ma
chinery, and repairs promptly this
spring, and where regular motor cx
/ press lines were available they have
greatly aided in the food campaign
The labor shortage is so acute that
/ every farmer is needed in the fields.

TEAMS WILL CART
AWAY THE RUBBISH
Householders Are Asked to COOPERATE
to Make the Cleanup Campaign
Complete Success.

Arrangements have been made to have
the village teams cart away the rubbish
which has been collected by property
owners III the cleanup week campaign
lhe teams will try to keep to the fol-
lowing schedule so far as possible and
property owners are asked to cooperate
by having the rubbish piles ready On
Thursday the teams will take in the sec
tlon OF the town north of and including
High street and east of Forest street. On
Friday they will attempt to cover south
OF High street to Milestone brook and
as Tar west as Union street; on Satur-
day east of Canal street to the river; on
Monday, west of Canal street to the vii
lage dimits; Tuesday Western avenue will
be taken.
Should there be hot, dry weather the
village teams and men will have to take
care Of sprinkling the streets first. The
work of collection NAV also be DELAYED
somewhat if the amount of rubbish 10
be collected is larger than expected. It
IS not the intention to provide the teams
to remove ashes, except in verv small
quantities. \ good rule to follow is to
expect the teams to remove only such
rubbish as the householder would not
| ordinarily feel obliged to pay for having
removed. The rubbish should be placed in
receptacles of some sort convenient for
handling and placed on the curb the day
scheduled for the visit Of the teams.
The Boy Scouts will begin to clean
| the railroad en- masse the latter part of
this week, but when has not been deter
mined. The cleanup committee will
make an inspection of the town about
Thursday and take note of places where
greatest efforts have been made or where
| they are needed most
Unless everyone takes personal pride
| IN his surroundings and is willing TO put
| IN little extra effort this week the cam
| palgn cannot be a success On the whole
| it would be hard to find a cleaner town
| than Brattleboro, but there is always
some litter left by careless people which
mars the general sightliness of the town
and this campaign purposes to remedy
| that. The fact that fires start, in the
great majority of eases, in rubbish heaps
| should be great factor in urging prop
| erty owners and house dwellers to take
part IN the campaign The last hot spell
brought about a noticeable increase in the
number of flies. There is no reason why
| the number and danger of this pest can
not be cut down to a minimum. A iittl,
care now in removing garbage will remove
the food sources of the fly and DESTROY
their breeding places.

DON'T TELL HIM.

Letter Written to Local Board Will
Be Read with Interest by Local
Board for Windham County.

In any great movement like the draft
ing OF men for the army there are always
many persons involved who find questions

holes whereby to escape their responsible

TURN COUPONS INTO STAMPS.
Owners Of Liberty Bonds I'D Issue)
Have Chance to Help Uncle Sam.

In the hope that Brattleboro will
boost its per capita purchase of war
savings stamps from $l87, where it
stood April -, the local war savings
committee is urging all owners Of
Liberty bonds of the second issue
to buy stamps with the first cou-
pons, which are due tomorrow, May
15
Every $50 bond of this issue bears
a coupon good for 81, which will
buy four thrift stamps; every 500
oond 50 coupon with which eight
thrift stamps may be bought; while
the coupon from $500 bond with
seven cents added viii buy two war
savings stamps at 416 each and
three thrift stamps at % cents
apiece
In view of the fact that the gov
ernment expects the sale of war saw
ings stamps to amount to 500 per
capita by the end of the year it is
obvious that Brattleboro with pur-
chases of but $l.S7 per capita for
the first four months is far behind
Every owner of a Liberty bond of
the second issue can help Uncle Sam
by buying war savings stamps with
the interest money that is due to-
morrow.
