You are again urged TO instruct all

TO RESUME CAMPAIGN.
Of Patriotic Speaking in Vermont PuF-
lie Gatherings.

Mason S. Stone, the conductor OF the
four minute speaking campaign in Yer

by the four minute speakers, his appeal
being as follows:

imately $500 Vermont boys are in khaki

pedoing of the Tuscania by a German
submarine.

been injured at the battle front.
We are now making the transition
from being at war to being in war.
We soon will face it with all its hor-
rors and feel it with all its grip and in
all its grief.
Therefore at the present crucial stage
il seems advisable that in all places
where there has been temporary re-
taxation in the four minute campaign a
renewal of the speaking activities should
be made in order to. keep before the peo-
pie the moral issues at stake, the moral
courage necessary for winning, the moral
asset to be acquired, and the moral
grandeur involved in the sublime cause
for which our arms are contendlng.
These things should be kept before the
people from now on, for out OF them
will come not only determination to win
but also consolation TO those to whom
sorrow must come.

FINE RECORD FOR NORWICH.
Over so Per Cent of the Norwich Men Of
Military Age Already in Service.

From statistics Just brought up to
date, il is shown that over 30 per cent
of Norwich men able to bear arms are
already in the military service. There
are now 1884 n. u. men listed in the
service. The total number of men, grad
yates and past graduates, of military
aN is 1853. Thus 81 per cent are now in
the service. Others are preparing TO
enter Twenty Others are known to be
in other branches OF war work. There
are 262 n. L. men living who have grad.
uated since 1907. OF these, ITO or AZ
per cent, are in the service, with nine
others in military branches of gov.
eminent work.
There are approximately 1916 living
Norwich men of all ages, ranging from
over ninety years of age to the under
graduates of IL and Is years, Even
counting all of these it is found that
24o per cent of the living Norwich men
are enrolled in the service of the ma

not equaled by any other educational

THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Can Be Solved II Towns Contribute Their
Experienced Men.

Just for the moment, suppose we strip
the farm labor problem of every patriot
ic consideration and merely TO emphasize
a point look ut il, individually and as
cities, from an absolutely selfish stand
point.
We know the world needs of food,
brought about by the war. IL is I'M
necessary to recapitulate that situation.
And the farmers are planting and will
plant the necessary acreage increases OF
! food crops. But these crops must be cnl-
tiyated and harvested, and many thous-
ands of farm laborers are required for
that work. There is a shortage of farm
labor. The factors causing that condi-
| tion are also undertook; cessation for
three years of the European immigration
which formerly gave us an army OF new
labor each year the attraction to thous-
ands of farm workers of higher wages In
munitions plants and other war indus
| tries, and the response of farm workers
to the call of the eolors. But. notwith-
standing the shortage of farm labor, the
nation contains an abundant supply OF
man power of farm experience and adap-
liability. II is a question OF getting that
potential farm labor applied to the farms
when and where the need is greatest.
The farm labor problem is difficult
one of the most difficult OF our war agri-
cultural prohlems-and yet there is a
ready remedy at hand, a measure pos
sible in every section and one that will
solve the local problem in most sections.
Ii is simple enough If you will just do il.
You can solve it--you. member OF half
dozen boards Of directors or president of
the civic league or leading spirit in the
chamber of commerce You, who per.
sisted in the new union depot project
until the dream was realized, or organ.
lied the movement that cleaned up your
city politically or put over bond issue
for a boulevard system, or headed the
Red Cross or Liberty loan eamNign. or
worked to get federal reserve bank
established i'm your city or a new railroad
built there. You are a man who does
things. You can do much in solving the
farm labor problem You will do it for
patriotic reasons entirely, because you
know we can't win the war without food, /
But, also. it is 60 your individual person !
al interest to do it--for to the extent +
your section doesn't produce its food this Z
year, to just that extent your section
may be short Of food to eat.
In most American towns, one fourth of
the men have had some farm experience
were raised on farms and have worked
more or less on farms. Then they moved
to town and engaged in other activities.
Every one of these men who is not en-
gagged in a work that contributed to war
winning should arrange to apply his ag-
ricultural experience and ability in a
way that will help supply vital war

Results, Not Excuses, Are Wanted.

Frederick Winslow Taylor, the father
of Scientific Management, always said in
his famous lecture, printed now for the
first time in the March American Maya
zine:
What your employer wants is results
not reasons He wants you to get there
and he is not interested in your explana
ton of why you failed to get there.
There is one saying which we have all
used since childhood, and which has had
no little part in the failure of unsuecess-
full men. We have all of us said: 4 have
done the best that ! know how: no one
could expect any more of me- Now.
whenever a man fails TO get the results
that his employer asks for he should
feel intense chagrin and disappointment,
instead of feeling satisfied because he
has done the best he knows how What
we are in the world for is continually
TO learn to do better than we know how.
And be sure that in ninety nine cut of
one hundred cases your employer has
very little interest in hearing that You
have done the best YOU know how, when
YOU have failed.
ANDREW Carnegie came back from
England one summer, and found that

unusually large profit in his plant. He
