TSmato's Worth RECOGNIZED.

Among the many valuable plants,
fruits, vegetables and medicines which
America has given to the whole race
Of mankind 1t is proper to include the
tomato. Perhaps it has not conquered
the world like tobacco, yet it has made
q favorable impression on a very large
part Of humankind. Its popularity has
extended far beyond the region Of its
birth.

TONNAGE 20 MILLION SHORT
The Need For Vessels is Greater
Than Ever

Washington, Nov. 16-There exists
In the worlds shipping a shortage of
more than 100000 tons
This was learned authoritatively.
The need for ocean-going ships, it was
pointed out, will become greater than
ever with the advent Of peace, and
Will become of the worlds imperative
necessities. The shortage is equal to
eight times the total ocean-going ship
construction in the United States in
1917. During the rehabilitation of
European cities vast supplies must be
shipped from America. For this pur-
pose the greater part of the 100000
tons needed should be available by the
end of 1920,

crease of over $4,000 above the pre-
ceding year. Three years ago the
total was $21 ,66S.74. Going back sew
enteen years to 1901, the total stamp
sale at the Bennington Office was
s12. O24.2O, or only about one-third the
total for this last fiscal year. The
large increase this year is due in part
to the increase in the rate of postage
but not all. Bennington is one OF
the few towns in Vermont that has
been steadily growing and this
growth is indicated by the increase
in stamp sales The size of a town,
however. is not always accurately in
dictated by stamp sales as some
towns have lines of business which
operate largely by mail and this in
creases their postal receipts. For
instance Brattleboro, because of its
being the headquarters of the great
mail business of the Holstein-Friesan
Z
association probably has more than
double the stamp business of Ben
nington though Brattleboro is some
what smaller than Bennington. Mont
pelier which is smaller than Brattle-
boro has big stamp sales due to its
being the home of the National Life
Insurance company. Bennington has
no business that uses the mails
heavily and its stamp sales are the
result OF merely normal postoffict
patronage by its growing population
Then, too, there is another postoffice
/ in this township that does good bus
mess. In fact, of all the postofiices
in this county, the North Bennington
Office is second only to Bennington
The sale OF stamps at the Bennington
postofIice for the year ending june
80 was considerably greater than fol
all the other postoffices in Bennington
county the total for all these othel
offices being s29,979S9.

In Italy Austrian prisoners are well

things as the soldiers want. Y. M. C.

fellows giving them what comfort
they can and what assistance is pos.

poor old mother, living in a distant
province Of Italy, walked TO Como, no
less than four times, vainly waiting

the government took notice of her,
and procured her transportation on

turning prisoners were off the train

The town OF Orwell, Addison
rounty, was hard hit last week by the
death Of both its local doctors. ow-
ing to the call of SO many doctors in
TO the service, those that remain are
greatly overworked and the grip cpl
demic has taxed the profession to the
limit. The reason so many doctors
have died is, because they have not
spared themselves in trying to help
others. While there is so much sick
ness the public should remember the
burden on the doctors and not call
them for trivial illness, and when they
are compelled to summon doctor,
they should have everything in readi-
ness so that the physician may make
his call as brief as possible.

They are On their farms early and

are being planted there is no lack OF
grain provision also.
We are glad to know Mr.. Mckay
Byrd is going to plant victory acre
for the Government. It would be
well for number of others to do
the same thing. Not only for Gov
ernmental purposes would victory
acre be worthwhile. but many con-
secrated farmers might plant few
victory rows of something easily cul-
tivated and readily sold that would
help the cause of missions In their
churches.
We have just finished reading Mr..
John D. Rockefeller's very interest
ing address on "The Christian Church
What of it's Future" We have
heard ether very earnest appeals by
men nearer home for a higher plain
Of Christian living.
