FACTORIES CLOSED.
Government Refused Shoes on Account
of Imperfect Tanning.

BROCkTON, Mass, March 18-Sev-
eraI concerns making army shoes for
the government have closed some de-
partments because Of an order of the
government that certain kind of sole
leather shall not be used II has been
found that some of the leather in use
contains grey or yollowish streak
caused by imperfect tanning.
The government claims this makes
the leather weak and unsatisfactory. In
spectors IN factories have been ordered
not to pass any of this leather and be-
cause of this order the army shows that
output here today was almost at a stand
still. The big c. A. Barry company and
Geo. E. Keith company plants are af-
fccted together with several smaller
ones. The manufacturers have named a

Spring Wheat in Windham County

During 1917 a considerable amount Of
spring wheat was grown in Windham
County The miller at Wardsboro re-
ports that the amount of wheat that he
has bolted this winter is 10 times that
of any winter heretofore The farmer
who has his own wheat feels pretty well
off at this time.
In 1913 we are likely to experience a
much greater shortage. The scarcity Of
sugar has been felt but what would it be
If wheat -four should be as scarce? This
seems impossible, but it is not. 1t is
very probable that there may be an ex-
IRENE shortage Of wheat flour next fall
and winter, and now is the time for
Windham county farmers to guard
against such scarcity in their own
homes
Judging from the experience of many
farmers during the past year, wheat is o
much more exacting crop than rye OF
oats. 1t needs a soil which is rich in
humus and lime and has an abundance Of
phosphoric acid Old ground is preferable

A Word for the Bicycle

Worcester leads the revival of the general
use of the bicycle by furnishing most of
the silent tandem wheels for the six-day
contest in New York recently. This
country cannot lose Worcester. Probably
it knows better than to try anything like
that. The bicycle has had long rest
while the multitude has been satisfying its
disposition for riding by building and rid
ing automobiles and motorcycles, but the
manpower vehicle is coming out with the
next open season for another long and prob
ably permanent run. 1t is no longer the
plaything for the many, but the necessary
means of quick local transit for large
number who live too far away from their
work to make walking economical. And
who need the open-air exercise for an hour
or more night and morning, even more than
they need to economic the nickels which
the trolley cars cost them. The bicycle
properly used is one of the greatest health
agencies this country can use to advantage
by the millions, and it is we'll within the
expense limit of many millions of men and
women. as we'll as the young people. Walk
ing is prescribed for more people than can
afford the time to take that cure. But the
bicycle is handy to economic that time
and it provides the exercise at the same
time.-Worcester Telegram.
