Essex County went over it's quota
on the Fourth Liberty Loan by a good
margin. This makes every county
in the state over and Vermont over
subscribed by several millions.
This good record for Essex county
was due to the efficient work of
county chairman, l.. B.. Jones, and
and his liable local .chairmen. Mr..
Cones had the county work laid out
on a splendid system and deserve
great credit for the oversubscrip-
ton of Essex County. This county
is given quota on its list grand list
the same as aal1 other counties but
fully .one-fourth of Essex county
grand list as held by non-residents
and the county gets but little help
from this on an such work as a Liber-
ty Loan. This smakes raising the
quota all the harder, but our county
chairman overcame this obstacle
and we are all proud of the splendid
record he made for Essex County in
the Fourth Liberty Loan.

A great opportunity and great duty confronts
Vermont voters in the present campaign
The nation is at war, and every resource of civil

Vermont has already risen nobly to the demands

The epidemic continues to hold
sway and there has been several
deaths the past week. To all these
homes the community expresses
deep sympathy. The situation is
somewhat better and it is hoped this
epidemic will soon pass. Many of
our citizens have worked unremit-
tingly to help the suffering and
stay the ravages Of the disease and
the community in general has been
anxious and willing to lend their aid
Establishing a temporary hospital
was a right move. This was done
largely by the persistent efforts of
F. e. Boyce and j. S. Sweeney, who
with the Board of Health, Red Cross
and faithful work Of our physicians
has made it possible to care for many
who would have suffered greatly
without it.

The argument is promulgated
that a vote for Clement is a vote
against adopting the prohibitory
amendment, and a vote for Mayo,
is vote for its adoption. This is
pure campaign buncomb. The vote
for governor has nothing to do
with the question. Its a vote for
your representatives and senators
that counts on this question and the
efforts of all workers for or against
adoption should be turned that way.

APPLIED PATRIOTISM

He who stands as the national air
is played, he who uncovers as the col
ors pass, gives outward evidence Of pa
triotic sentiment. This may be term
ed theoretical patriotism as contrasted
with applied patriotism. The farmer
who saves wheat, pork and sugar on
h!s own table demonstrates practical
" above the mere nominal recognition
of the nations spirit in stirring music
and waving flag.
1t is up to the farmer TO save as well
as produce. 1t may very definitely be
ventured that the former is much more
difficult for him than the latter. He
will toll until he drops, but tradition
ally he has been accustomed to full
feed his appetite according to it's es-
tablished tastes. He does not believe
in muzzling the OK that treads out the
grain, but he must do exactly an ap-
Proclamation of that act If he dis
charges his obligations to his country.
The situation is alarming as to wheat,
1t Is not at all promising as to hogs,
and somewhat doubtful as to sugar.
The city man Is learning. He is none
too ready a pupil. He likes his food
as we'll as the farmer, even If he does
not earn 1t by the sweat of his brow.
But of all foliies sublimated, the
most sublime is to think that we can
win the war without Inconvenience TO
our people. 1t will require more than
inconvenience 1t will require sacri-
fee. And each day we postpone the
inconvenience Of conserving the food
needed for export we increase the sac
rifice.
If we could burn this fact into the
consciousness of every farmer. and ev-
cry farmers family, we would have
done more than our share toward win
ming the war.-The Breeders Gazette,
January 8. 1918.

Get FREIGHT State.

Practically one-fifth of all the freight
handled on the six great railroad sys-
TENS entering Wisconsin last year was
loaded or unloaded at a Wisconsin
station; yet less than One-sixth of the
entire mileage of those roads is within
the state. In addition to that, those
roads handled terminally-that is,
loaded or unloaded-12,757 tons Of
freight for every mile of road they OPP
crate in the state. as against an aver
age of only 10,560 tons for each mile
of the entire system of these roads.
These six railroads Tap directly all the
great North, the Northwest, the West,
and the South; and through Chicago
they give connection with the East.
And yet, with only One-sixth of their
total track mileage in the state, they
handle one-fifth of their freight in Wis
consin stations; and the average Wis
consin mile sees one-fifth more freight
loaded and unloaded than the aver
age mile on the rest Of the systems.

.. Sheep are of great value in clear
ing brush land.
~. Sheep are dual purpose animals.
IL. Crop yields are increased by the
constant and uniform distribution of

II. The eXcreta of sheep is rich in
nitrogen and potassium.
IL. Less plantfood is removed from
soil by sheep, than by grain crops.
IA. The cost of maintenance Is very
small.
10. Sheep make profitable use of fod-
der left in cornfields after corn is har-
vested.
10. Sheep can be made marketable
without grain.
II. Wool and lambs are more easily
transported than grain crops.
IS Rapid and frequent monetary
returns.
10. Reasonably large percentages of

20. Wool and mutton advanced in
price before the war and a sudden
drop in value is not to be expected.
81. Less labor is required on a
sheep farm than on a grain farm.
%. Labor on the farm is more evenly
distributed throughout the year.
23. Sheep require little care except
during the usual slack periods.
"a. Children as a rule like sheep and
this is a good time to develop future
shepherds.
%. A flock of sheep on a farm fur
nishes fresh supply of meat at any
time of the year.
26. Because of the comparatively low
cost per animal. sheep are more easily
improved than most other types of live
stock.
81. Sheep are more prolific than
horses or cattle.
%. The western sheep ranches are
rapidly disappearing and it is up to the
small farmers to make up the de-
ficiency.
%. The population Of the United
States is increasing, while the number
of sheep is steadily decreasing.
80. As a patriotic duty in the pres
ent world crisis, we must produce more
wool and mutton.

woooen Clothes in SIGHT.

While the clothing manufacturers
have not yet announced their inten-
ton to place on the market clothes
made of wood. they may eventually do
so. If the experiments of cotton spin
ners should prove successful, says an
authority.
Bleachod cotton is almost pure cell
lnlose. and proceeding on that basis
the investigators have discovered a
method whereby thread may be manu-
featured from cellulose extracted
from spruce. The cotton spinners say
that In time they expect to produce
With this material clothing at extreme
IN low prices
The finest product, 1t is averred. viii
no cheaper than cotton in the bale,
ond there is no reason, they contend,
why the material should not take &
fast dye. The wood-cloth would of
course wear well. and it could be made
uoninfiammable.

FoREToLD WAR WITH HUNS
Russian Consul at Boston Fourteen
Years Ago Prophesied Great
Conflict.

Boston.-Fourteen years ago Joseph
A. Conry. Russian consul, prophesied
there would be a war with Germany.
This was made IN an address Mr..
Conry delivered at the annual meeting
of the Ninth Regiment Veterans as
ISOLATION In G.. A. r. hall in this city,
April 6, 1904. Excerpts from his
speech follow:
There will be a war in this coun-
try as sure as time flies With Eng
land? No, because our commercial in
terests are too intimate. Not with
France. because she Is diminishing.
We have had 1t with Spain.
But it will be with the empire OF
Germany. We have no desire for war.
but if 1t should come, we need a vol
unteer militia made up of 100000 men
to back up our standing army"

country is in the throes of great war,
and the association feels it as probab-
ly no other organization in the state.
1t is the purpose of this organization
to furnish the seed which produces the
food for our own and allied armies,
and consequently they have accepted
the task which carries with it the bur-
den that it is now their duty to per-
form.
In order to win the war our country
is in need of funds, and it is the sim
cere hope that every member will set
aside sufficient funds from the sale OF
purebred seeds TO invest in Liberty
bonds. There is no safer security in
our country, and our patriotic duty is
to loan, If possible, practically every
cent that can be spared until our coun-
try energies from the difficulty In which
she finds herself plunged.

A life insurance man wrote a large
policy on a well-tO-do business man
not long ago. and when he delivered
the policy asked:
do you mind telling me why you.
a wealthy man, have taken out this
life insurance?"
Men ii" at the wrong Sime!" he
said.
II men could only die ST the right
time. when their work is finished.
when their finances are in good
shape. when their going will create
the least possible disturbance to
their families and their business, in
surance would be of less use than II
is. says Everyweek. But every man
who Is worth while always has an
iron in the fire somewhere.

callfornia,s Goat Ranch.

California has a large ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk
from which Is condensed and canned.
Goats milk is said to be very rich. anu
is in demand as nourishing food for
lnvalidS. A weIl-bred mileh goat VIII
produce L. times its weight in milk.
A COW produces yearly three times
her weight If She is a good mixer. but
the goat cannot be depended upon for
a steady supply of milk at all tunes
through the year. Therefore it Is said
that canning is the best method oil
making goat dairy profitable. An
11-ounce can of condensed goat milk
retalls ut 20 cents in the West ana
the sale has thus far been confined
chiefly to drug stores. The Pacihc
Dairy review reports that goat dairy
ing IS a thriving industry in the west
and believes that canned goats mix
would find a wide sale If extended to
the grocery trade.
