How Governor of North Dakota Eats

There is an article in the June Farm
and Fireside called "A Farmer Governed
State" and in the article this passage
occurs:
When Governor Frazier quit the
farm, the first farmer and the first North
Dakota university graduate ever to be
elected governor Of that state, he took
his farm ways with him. He was used
to talking over farm problems with the
hired hands as they ate their meals to-
gether, all around a common table, He
took his farm ways into the governor S
office, even to the extent of calling the
states hired hands to eat with him once
a week

Monday in Bismarck, Governor Frazier
and his private secretary, Nelson Ma

The action of the Vermont Federation
of Women's Clubs in voting not to pur.
chase any more wheat until the harvest
ing of the 1918 crop in the United States
ought to have quite powerful effect
throughout Vermont toward furthering
the campaign to conserve the present
wheat resources of the country. If every
householder should realize fully that the
conservation of the supply is absolutely
necessary SO that our allies and our own
soldiers in Europe may be fed it is GER
tain that there would be a most general
response to the request made by the ma
tional food administration. The Yer
mont club women are to be commended
for making this stand.

Winooski, Burlington, and Fort Ethan
Allen

"Wet Winooski" is the only thint
which prevents the establishment Of
cantonment at Fort Ethan Allen, which
might bring from $4,000 to $4,000 sol
| diers to the post and would at least
restore the fort to the busy appearance,
of other days when 10000 to 10000 mer
were stationed there Burlington News
No doubt the Queen city contemporary
| is better advised in regard to the local
situation than the Herald could be, but
is it not a fact that the establishment
of cantonment automatically give the
military authorities the right to regulate
its surroundings within given area?
In short, is dry Winodski' not de-
pendent on the establishment Of such a
cantonment, rather than the establish
ment of the cantonment dependent on
dry Winooski?
There has been considerable hvsteria
about the conditions in Burlington and
Winooski in relation TO the soldiers. Cd
the local newspapers have naturally pub
lished what suited their ends and lyer-
looked or denied what did not Some
of the facts about Winooski saloons are
fair for the whole state to consider.
|. No man in uniform can buy a d, n.l
in a saloon or licensed bar anywhere;
2. No man can buy a bottle of v his
key in Winooski or anywhere else in
Vermont from licensed dealer;
3. The only way a soldier can buy
liquor in Vermont is to buy it from a
pocket peddIer, 'bootlegger'' or ether
illicit source;
4. No beer or ale can be manufactured
that has more than "a or 3s4 per cent
alcoholic contents;
5. State and federal laws provide Sc.
we're penalties for violating any of these
provisions;
The Herald will carefully consider any
statement from responsible military All
thorlties regarding conditions in Winoo-
ski or Burlington, but il begs to take
with mental reservation the outpour-
ings Of social workers and other en-
thusiasts with imperfect knowledge Of
local conditions.
An example was recently in view
where another sort of social worker ar
raigned Burlington's whole city admin
for its laxity in regard TO the
social evil The rather vague term is
used in preference to the palmer word
prostitution, because the charges not
only involved professional prostitutes
but unguarded young women Of respecta-
bic families also
There was some truth in the Charge
hat prostitution was on the increas Sc in
and the testimony OF doc
tors, priests and ministers would prob.
ably reveal some astounding conditions
in regard 10 the debauchment Of Young
women. but the Herald's distinguished
published indignant de-
lials II the allegations.
Both situations need watching. but
Shile there are definite and sharp
oothed laws to deal with liquor selling

CURRENT COMMENT
Make Sims an Admiral.

Pre-eminent among the achievement
that stand to the credit Of the presiden
in the first year Of the war are: III Tn,
assignment of Vice. Admiral Sims To III,
supreme command of the American naya
forces in European waters, ;2l the pass
age of the draft law; (3) the attainment
of unified command on the western front
OF the last two the public knowledge AM
appreciation have been larger than OF th'
first A censorship unnecessarily strict
as we believe, has kept from the people
all but occasional and inadequate refer.
ences to the superb work of Admiral
Sims and the officers and men Of his com.
mand. We do not say that the failure Of
the navy department to give credit where
credit was so obviously due has been
caused by anything save overeaution.
| The time has come, however, when in
| Justice to our defenders in European
waters the people and press at home
should not be less well informed than
are our allies of what we owe to Sims
and his force. Ii is far and away the
proudest chapter of our war history TO
date.
The president should not be left longer
in doubt of the debt the nation owes him
for his prescienee in selecting Sims for
this most important naval command. Ma
val and civilian opinion was well-nigh
unanimous that no officer was 50 well
suited for the mission, and events have
re-enforced that early opinion. When he
first arrived in England his command
consisted of less than so destroyers. To-
day between 400 and 500 ships are based
ON England and $4,000 men make up the
personnel of his command. If the presi.
dent was warranted in promoting the
commander of the smaller force more
than year ago to he a viee-admiral,
surely the subsequent work of Sims and
increase of his command to it's present
strength warrants his promotion to the
grade of admiral. The expectation that
such promotion was about due has been
general for some time. Surely this is the
moment to realize it. The
appearance of the enemy U-boats in the
American Atlantic advertises their fail,
ure to accomplish their objects overseas.
1t would be an inspiring reply to their
attack for the president to recognize the
splendid work OF Sims and his men by
making Sims an admiral at once
Additional legislation could quickly be
obtained if it were necessary, but is it
Under the law the president is author
lied to name three admirals. At the mo-
ment they are Benson, chief of the bu |
reau of operations, shore billet; Mayo, |
the commander n-chief of the Atlantic |
fleet in home waters and Caperton, com
handing the Pacific feet, so called, which |
is no longer in the Pacific. The work of |
Benson, Mayo and Caperton combined |
does not begin to parallel in Importance
and responsibility the work OF Sims And |
he, more than any one of them, as shown
by his accomplishments, deserves the
rank of admiral. Why not give it to
him and thereby give notice to the enemy
that on the sea Sims is the American be
lind whom America stands - Boston

ENEMY ALIENS AND WAR
SUPPLIES.

Again we hear OF crooked work
in manufacturing concern under
German influence to which our gov
ernment gave large orders for war
supplies. The chief executives OF
the United States Gauge Company
of Sellersville, Pa, have been ar
rested and two OF them jailed on
the charge OF SO tampering with tor
pedoes as to cause them to explode
disastrously Oh the ship from which
they are fired and of so adjusting
the gauges used by aviators as to
mislead airmen into such high alti-
tudes that they will be overcome in
the rarfied air The investigation
shows that the Sellersyile plant
has been under distinctively Ger
man influence. OF the three exec
utives in charge, one speaks broken
English and is naturalized; the sec
ond speaks no English, came from
Germany only six years ago, and is
an enemy alien; the third is also
an enemy alien. The government
had given the concern large orders,

How to escape an anti-aircraft
barragc is a moot question. Most
airmen think that aerial acrobatics
are the most effective artiiice. 9th
ers hold that when an anti-aircrait
shell bursts near the machine the
angle OF flight should be changed so
/ slightly as to be imperceptible to

Too violent maneuyering is prime
facic evidence that the placing Of
the first shot was dangerously ac-
curate. The gunner will be cncour-

ing away with a Slight elevation or
change in the direction OF flight the
aviator leaves the gunner uncertain
OF the effect OF his initial shots.
The latter method is q deliberate
system OF outgues,ing the gun crew.

bility Of bhudering into shot in

Old Negro Had Particular Reason for

failed.
Zeno was the name of the old man,
and when told the bank had failed he
spent hours around the door, as If he

One day the receiver said to him:

made in figuring, and when they got
down to VS. the money gave out and
Zeno lost his savings.

EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer eX-
planned as "ptomaine poisoning" but
In an address to the American Asso-
,iatiOn for the Advancement of Science,
DR.. e. 0. Jordan showed that it is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
BILE to those of diphtheria and tetanus
lacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article The
best known example of the toXin-fOrm-
Ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus,
which has produced in the United
States % recorded cases of poisoning,
of which IL were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no case
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
lection with food-borne disease bac-
terra seems to occur in a great number
Of cases. The bacteria are either pres
emit in the food itself or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-
srto traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
y transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptococcus sore throat. The
type of infection from food contain
mated at its source is exemplified in
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at its source are those

group of paratyphoid enteritidis bac-
terra, and those resulting from the use
of infected milk. The bacterial dis
eases of plants do not infect man.

OF all that has happened over here
so far, and beyond every tribute paid
us for our work in training and in the
trenches, | am proudest of little in
cident that occurred the other night
George Patullo writes in the Saturday
Evening Post.
l was at division headquarters,
which is in town of about 1000 pop
ulation. 1t was fairly late and dark
as the mischief. The alerte had sound
ed for an air raid and consequently
even the few lights which are usually
permitted in the streets were doused.
All the windows were carefully cur
tanned; none of the people moved
about and our own men had long since
gone to bed in their barracks and bill
lets.
Well, l started from the chief of
staff's Office to my billet along a de-
serted. stone-paved, echoing street. 1t
was dark as tomb; had to feel my
way for fear of tripping. From some
where in the sky came an angry hum,
and looking up perceived a tiny light
winlzing amid the black clouds. One
of the French airmen who had gone
up to tackle the invader was signaling
to the others.
Suddenly somebody emerged from a
side street and bumped into me, and
made out two dim, shawled figures.
One was woman, the other a young
girl. They screamed and ran.
Don't be frightenedr' l shouted.
Instantly they stopped. One of them
gave a nervous laugh of relief
