far east including Japan and the Philip
pines, during which his position as sec
rotary of the American board gave spe-
cial opportunity to inform himself con-
corning international conditions. He was
therefore able to deal with the sub
ject intelligently and comprehensively,
his address being greatly enjoyed. The
afternoon session closed with general
conference by Sec. Merrill.
Among the interesting developments
of the directors meeting of Wednesday
afternoon was the fact that there are
now twenty-five pastorless fields. Hence
the directors expressed themselves as
under the necessity of granting new men
first to those communities which were so
thoroughly by themselves as to be UNI
able to share with neighboring churches.
The board of directors adopted a total
budget of $4,000, an increase of $1,000
over the budget of last year, which will
necessitate calling upon the church to
meet this additional amount. The do
nestle missionary funds will be admin
istered with special reference to the
needs of those communities in which the
local Congregational church is the only
Protestant church in the community,
There are "A churches for which this
missionary fund is available. and of
these, at least 80 per cent at the present
time are the only Protestant churches
Of the communities which they serve.
The evening session Of the convoca-
ton was held in the Congregational
church and large audience was present
to greet Dr. Hamilton Holt of New York,
editor Of the independent" and vice.
president of the League to Enforce
Peace. DR.. Holt talked for an hour and
quarter on his experiences "on and
Behind the Front in France" and his
description of his experiences in the
trenches together with his impressions
gathered from personal interviews with
European statesmen made profound
impression.

Maine Now Furnishing Bulk Of Supply
Tomatoes a Little Higher.

Boston, Sept. l3.--The bureau of mar
kets of the department Of agriculture in
its daily bulletin says:
With an average of Is to 20 carloads
a day, Maine is now furnishing the bulk
Of the potatoes on the Boston market.
No arrivals from New Jersey have been
reported during the past few days and
the season there is practically over.
Every day the quality Of the Maine
stock has been improving and now they
are in good condition, Price to retailers
ranges from AZ cents to as cents per
peck, and this has brought lower price
of AZ cents TO so cents per peck for the
consumer.
Due to the cool weather the past two
days the supply Of tomatoes has been
decreased considerably Prices have ad-
vanced from the low mark of last week,
but they are still attractive enough TO
warrant canning if one has not already
done So Green tomatoes for picalilli and
chilli sauce are now on the market, and
may be bought for 80 and 40 cents per
peck at number of stores. Housewives
should remember that the season for 10.
cal vegetables is swiftly passing and
should purchase supplies now while the
vegetables are abundant

AMERICAN SOLDIERS

"To He'll with the Movies, Let's Hear

are eager to be talked to about religion,
but, he says, you can't fool the boys

movies. A venerable preacher asked if
that was necessary. He thought it wasn't
and he proposed to put it to the men

here to tell you something about re-
ligion. Would you like to begin right
away or would you rather have movie

the audience TO hell with the movies,
he exclaimed, Tets hear about religion.
"The boys don't come to be enter

simple, sincere and elemental truth of
religion as the preacher conceives it.
There are certain subjects, too, it is wise
to steer clear Of Don't talk to them
about drink and gambling and sex. They
hear all they need of that sort of thing
from the proper instructors.
"And don't talk about spread eagle

triotism of the real sort. Don't tell them
how fine they are, for they've heard
that until they are tired of it. Besides,
no real man likes to be fattered, and
these fellows are real men. Above all
else, when your horse sense warns you
that the boys are waiting with open

can give them, don't tell them funny

TO DETECT DESERTERs.
Vermont Committee of Public Safety
Asks Cooperation.

The adjutant general Of the war de-
partment requests the Vermont commit
tee Of public safety to assist in the de-
lection Of deserters and delinquents, in
Guiding technical draft deserters; regis
trants who have failed to file question
naires, appear for physical examination,
or otherwise comply with the selective
service law
1t is therefore the purpose Of this com
mittee to give publicity to the activity
of the department of justice; the com
mittee of public safety and other agen-
cies, in ascertaining every deserter with
in the state boundaries. This will tend
to discourage desertion.
Each district committee Is requested
TO take up this work in way that each
member win feel personal response
bility in detecting the deserters in their
community. Every district and local
committee Of public safety are requested
TO investigate the case Of any strange
man in uniform whose presence Is not
fully accounted for. If he is on a legiti-
mate errand, he viii have with him evil
dence to establish that fact. A deserter
usually seeks neighborhood where he il
unknown and stranger in uniform
whose business is kept secret should be
regarded with suspicion
Careful investigation should be made
in case Of unknown civilians from the
ages Of eighteen to forty.fve, and en-
deavor to find out whether he has his
registration, call or exemption card or
whether he il not deserving the army.
If ii is found that he has failed to regis
ter, the nearest agent of the department
Of justice should be notified Of the de.
serters found
AL men apparently Of draft age should
be required to display their cards in or
der to establish regularity Of their
standing. If they are unable to do so,
they should be taken into custody pend
ing proof Of their innocence
All deserters from the army should
be delivered at once to military post
for disposition and any draft deserters
should be reported or delivered to local
agent Of the department Of justice.
Expense may be recovered from the
war department or the department OF
justice as the case may be, and in case
Of an army deserter there is an ulterna-
tive Of reward of $4,000,
The cooperation Of all citizens of this
state in this work is earnestly requested

CHURCHES SHOULD LEAD
In Community Service, 1t Was Told to
Congregational Ministers.

Middlebury, Sept. 1.-THE second day
Of the convention Of Vermont Congre-
gational ministers at Middlebury college
opened with a large attendance at the
first lecture in spite Of the stormy morn
ing, The first period was given over to
Prof w. e. Hooking Of Harvard uni
versity who spoke on "The Principle of
Authority: It's Place in the Religion of
Tomorrow" Prof Hooking emphasized
the necessity Of the right kind of author
ity as essential to the dealing with
problems which will be facing the church
at the close Of the war, He suggested
that the relations of labor and capital
are likely to bring one Of the great prob.
lens Of the modern church.
Following Prof Hocking's lecture,
Prof G. +. Kent Of Yale university spoke
on Religion and Recreation" He said
that Jesus Christ had keen sense of
humor He was fond of social life and
endeavored to train the individual for
citizenship and a constructive part in the
social order. He insisted that the mod
ern church should give its full and
prompt attention to the gospel OF play.
He feels that the church should main
tain an appreciative attitude toward
community cooperation. The church
service should be Of such nature as
would be restful and helpful to the toll
er, and the joyousness OF thought and
expression would reflect the Gospel mes
sage. There should be thoroughgoing
Interpretation Of the Sabbath as Gods
gift to men for physical, mental and
spiritual recreation The church as an
organization should be prepared TO rem
der that type Of service which will sat
isfy the cravings Of youth for whole
some recreation.
At lO;45 the convocation assembled
for the morning chapel service which
was conducted by Mr.. Bell Of the Amer
lean board Of commissioners for foreign
missions,
Following the chapel service, DR.. Silas
+. Persons of Baltimore spoke on THE
Church as a Community Leader" The
speaker emphasized the necessity OF
community cooperation and declared
that the church should lead in the mat
ter of community service. Under that
head he would include any contributions
that a church might be able to make
toward the creation of a wholesome com
munity atmosphere. Where there is more
than one church in a community, the
churches should unite in the develop
ment of social program, ''Not rivalry
but cooperation" should be the motto
| for all our churches to-day.
At the afternoon service, Mr.. Bel
spoke on --latest News from the Far

ENTER NORMAL SCHOOL.
High School Graduates Urged to Train
for Teachers.

for Teachers.
"0n the character and ability Of the
teachers everything depends" says DR..
p. P. Claxon, u. s. commissioner of edu
cation, in urging boys and girls to enter
normal schools and prepare for teaching
this year.
Besides the thousands of men who
have been drafted or have volunteered
for service in the army, other thousands
Of men and many thousands of women
have quit the work of teaching for EN-
ployment in industries, commerce, civil
service and clerical positions where they
are paid better than for teaching. As
the war continues and as the cost Of liv-
ing increases, and the demand for serv-
ices of the kind teachers can render
grows larger, the numbers of teachers
leaving the schools for other employment
win become still greater and this tenden-
CIV is likely to continue long after the
war is over unless the salaries Of teach
ers should be increased far beyond the
present average. How are their places to
be filed By trained or by unframed
teaehersf
Unless the attendance at the normal
schools and in departments of education
in colleges and universities is much in
creased, most of these places must be
filed by men and women without pro-
fessional knowledge and with no special
training for their work In this case the
character of the schools will inevitably
deteriorate and the time of the children
and the money appropriated for educa-
tion will be to large extent wasted, 1t
is, therefore, very important that for
next year and for many years to come
there should be more students in these
schools for the preparation of teachers
than there have ever been. Thousands
of boys and girls who have finished their
high school work might and should rem
der their country high type of patriotic
