kinds that women delight in. Some of
them are rich and splendid and others
charm by their daintiness. Here are
two that belong to these extremes.
The shopping bag is of black satin bro

silver mounting. The other is pow

Each soldier "over there" is to be
allowed one Christmas package from
home, and only one. Here is a small
waterproof portfolio containing a
writing tablet, envelopes and pencil
The donor might slip a few unmounted
photographs in it, too. 1t is made
of long strip of black oilcloth folded
up at the ends and machine stitched
down to form the pockets. An extra
row of machine stitching across one
end makes a casing for the pencil.
The portfolio is shown closed at the

bright roses or the flags of the allies
or figures clad in khaki are painted on
these portfolios.

GAS MASK DAY
Gov. Graham Issues a Proclamation
for Nov. 9

Montpelier, Nov. 5-Gov. Horace
F. Graham has issued the following
proclamation:
State of Vermont: A Proclama-
ton. l, Horace F. Graham, Cover
nor, designate Saturday, Nov. 8, as
Gas Mask Day, and request all citi-
zens of Vermont to cooperate with
their local chapters of The American
Red Cross in collecting fruit pits and
nutshells to produce carbon of sup
erior quality, which serves as an alb
sorbent of poisonous gases. / urge
that special effort be made to collect
pits from peaches, plums, cherries,
apricots, prunes, dates, olives and to
gather from the woods and stocks on
hand all hickory nuts, walnuts and
butternuts, either the whole nut OF
the shell, but not the husk. Other
materials must not be included. Loss
of life by gas is greater than by the
guns of the enemy. The torture
from gas is incomparably worse than
the pain from bullets. A million
pounds of fruit pits or nutshells are
needed daily to protect our soldiers
and nurses on the battle fronts.
Red Cross chapters have shipping
instructions, and it is suggested that
all stores, schools and post Offices
provide receptacles for these pits and
shells. Let us continue each day to
save them for the humane protection
of our armies and their fighting eff
fectiveness. Protect the dollars you
give for war relief by furnishing
every field secretary and Salvation
Army lass with the best gas mask
Gather butternuts and you will have
the gas problem in nutshell.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State, at Montpelier, this
fourth day of November, A. D. 1918

FrucalIsy ". shiftIessness.

Before the long, wet winter month";
set In, when the greater part Of hi
machinery and implements are not Il
use, the thrifty farmer carefully goea
over them. oiling, using paint wheE
necessary, supplying broken or MISSING
parts and putting everything under
shelter. These and other frugal char
acteristlcs differentiate him from the
shiftless, haphazard farmer who leavel
his implements exposed to the wealth
err, who lets the fences around his
house and barn fall down, perfectly
eontented to throw hoop over his
corral gate rather than put on a new
hinge or repair the old one.
The former, 1t may be taken for
granted, is a plow-deep, use-ferhlizeri
cultivate-thoroughly and take-advan'
tage-of-the-marke farmer-in a word,
successful farmer; while the latter
is a scratch-the-ground and trust-to'
luck individual whose failure he at
tributes to anyone but himself.
No right-minded farmer could tOler

the other hand, every farmer coming
under that category ought to aspire t
the first classlfication-and now is thu

Earrn Made 70 Paw.

For ten years a 500-acre farm in CEN
trail Michigan failed to pay interest on
the capital invested. One year after
the owners had been induced to make
certain radical changes the farm paid
all expenses of operation and returned
them 5 per cent on an investment OF
100000. These changes were:
Substitution Of four-horse for two
horse machinery; substitution Of bet
ter stock for improbable cows in the
dairy herd; adoption Of the silo plan;
allowance to the foreman, In addition
to his salary, of 10 per cent Of the net
income from the farm.
Expenses Of operating the farm, but
not the interest on the capital, were
deducted from the income before the
foreman received Is percentage. The
owners yielded to the plan when they
found that for every dollar the fore
man got under such an arrangement
they would receive nine.

GET-T0GETHER SPIRIT

The more the farmer shows
the get-together spirit the great
er Is the advantage accruing to
him, personally and from a BUSH
ness standpoint. New ideas, pro-
gressive methods, valuable busi-
ness connections can be gained
only by rubbing elbows with the
world outside his own fences.
Taking an active and positive
past In community events, inter-
change Of views with successful
men of affairs, getting beyond
the border Of his county and
state and mixing with people
this Is to make himself felt in
his own community. All this
has a broadening value, not easy
to compute In hard dollars and
cents, but quite easy to sum up
in profitable results.
