German Souvenirs Easy to Get.

Private Theron l.. White, who is in
active service with the American ex-
peditionary forces, has written Mrs.
w. w. Kidder under date of July IS,
part of which follows:
| am kept busy most of the time at
night being on guard at the gun and
being ready to turn it on the Germans
if they come over the top. Lately we
have about two or three miles to 90 and
bring back food for the boys, which is
done after dark. We also hsve to 90
the same distance for water. We have
one meal a day and that is when the
detail gets back with it, so you see we
are busy most of the time.
We have been having a little rainy
weather lately the first we have had
for couple of months, but most of the
time the weather is just right don t
know what we would do if it was as
hot as it is there. There are couple
of months in the winter that is rather
cold but the rest of the year we can
get along finely.
A fellow can get anything that is
German, especially the equipment they
carry. One can pick up most anywhere
what he wants of that. Tell Willie

BETTER CARE OF CREAM.
Is Urged on Vermont Butter Makers
After Tests.

The seventh monthly educational but |
ter scoring was held at Burlington July
Is. The Judges were v. r. Jones, III. B.
Ellenberger, NJ R. Tolstrup and o. NJ.
Camburn Thirty-two creamery samples
and four dairy samples were entered and
they proved to be the best and most uni
form lot yet assembled at any of the
monthly scorings. Eight boxes scored
81 or over and the average Of all cream
cry samples WAS 92.55, while the dairy
samples averaged 91.5. The butter MAX
ers are to be congratulated on doing so
well with their July butter. There was,
however, a great variation in moisture
content, the average being low, only
1887.
A few samples were a little gritty,
two or three were somewhat notified
and several were inclined to be leaky
During the past seven months not more
than two or three of the samples have
shown evidence of overworking, while
each month has brought a number which
could be improved by little more work
ing. The tendency seems to be to under
work. which accounts for most of the
above mentioned defects.
The most prominent defect in flavor
were old and stale cream fiavors, again
emphasizing the Importance of care of
cream on the farm and frequent deliv-
cry to the creamery. Creameries where
cream was delivered promptly averaged
higher in score than others with more
infrequent deliveries and those using
starter scored higher than those which
did not.
Since making butter from whey cream
is quite new in Vermont it is interest
ing to note that the only sample of such
butter entered scored 92.5 and none of
| the Judges were able to detect that it
was made from whey cream.
The following is a list of those re-
ceiving a score of 90 or over and who
have given permission to have their
names published:

The Great Leader
Woodrow Wilson.

At this time it is natural that our
thoughts should turn to the FLU"
epidemic of the war and to questions
of peace and peace terms; but we
should not overlook that we are ap-
preaching a very important election.
Within the not distant future, there
will be presented to the Senate OF the
United States, for its approval, a
treaty of peace between Germany and
the United States. This treaty will
have been prepared by that great
leader, Woodrow Wilson. If Cover
nor Stanley is then our Senator, no
one doubts that he will vote to up
hold the President And upon other
war questions and also upon do
mestic questions, many of which will
arise after the war is over, no one
doubts that Governor Stanley will
hold up the hands of the President.
This being true the voters of this and
other counties of the State should lay
aside minor differences and looking
to the larger questions which will
come before the next Senate, vote
for our Democratic nominee.
In the Congressional race, there
can hardly be two opinions as to the
comparative fitness of the two can
didates. Mr.. Johnson, our democrat
tic nominee, has stood by the Presi-
dent and for the successful prosecu.
ton of the war He is an experience
ed legislator, who has faithfully rep
resented the people of the Fourth
District. Upon his record he is en-
titled to the support of the voters of
this District, regardless of the party

Cooling Milk Saves Dollars.

"Dairymen lose thousands of dol
lars annually because of poorly cool
ed milk and cream" This is the in
troductory sentence of Farmers Bull
letin 976, entitled Cooling milk and
cream on the farm" issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The milk dealer has an extra lever
when he can prove to the producer
that more care in the production and
handling of milk means more money
to him. 1t is especially true that every
reform along diary and milk lines
must be proved to be economical as
well as beneficial from sanitary or
health standpoint before the produc-
er's interest is aroused.
Cooling of milk as a rule can be
properly and practically done only
where ice is obtainable. But when it
is realized that ice can be had on
farms producing IS per cent of the
country's milk and cream supply, one
sees the importance of taking advan-
tage of natural facilities.
In other parts of the country where
natural ice is not available, the pro-
Queer can keep down the loss from
sour milk or cream by taking full
advantage of spring or we'll water.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Heavy fight
Ing on the verdun front Is described
In General Pershing's communiQue.
Strong German counter-attacks east
OF the Meuse were repulsed every
where except In the Belleau wood.
where four successive assaults forced
Q partial withdrawal by the Ameri-
cans. West Of the Mouse the Ameri-
can lines were further advanced in
the face of determined resistance.
Huns Cleared From Woods.
With the American Armies In
France, Oct. 2S.-The Americans have
cleared the Germans out Of the i'm
pOrtant Bourgogne forest, north Of
Grandpre, driving sharp wedge into
the enemy lines.
The forest was taken In short rushes,
the dOughboys then swinging eastward
behind the German lines and threat
ening to cut off the Boche northwest
Of Grnndpre.
The attack in the Grandpre region
followed that of Friday, farther to
the eastward, In which the Americans
advanced nearly half a mile near
Bantheville. occupying the high ridge
north Of that village. The positions
wore taken after several assaults
against the enemy machine-gun nests.
One hundred and seventy prisoners
were taken.
Yanks Win High Ground.
With the American Army Northwest
Of Verdun, Oct. 2S.-From a day Of ex-
traOrdinarily severe fighting the Amer.
leans emerged slightly in advance OF
the positions they held the day before.
The gains are regarded as extremely
important. as high ground dominating
much Of the surrounding terrain has
been gained.
There has been comparatively little
alteration in the positions on the cen
ter, but the AUerican footing In Belleu
woods. east Of the Mouse, was more
securely fixed, Notwithstanding the DE
termined efforts Of the Germans to
force the Americans back.
: The fighting for positions Just be-
yond Belleu woods began at four
o'clock In the morning, when the Amer
leans drove their way forward. At day.
light the Germans cOunter-attacked,
and since the failure Of that operation
have launched three other attacks
equally unsuccessful.
Despite the desperate resistance OF
the Germans and their apparent inten-
ton to initiate counter-Offensive, In.
formation falling into the hands OF
the Americans continues to indicate IN
enemy withdrawal to the Briquenay
line, one informant declaring it to be
the intention of the Germans to with
draw to that position between October
