ORANGE COUNTY FARM
BUREAU.
Notes for Week Ending Feb. 9.

Williamstown Farmers club met at
the home of the president, w. NJ. Seaver
Thursday evening, Feb. I. The subject
of potatoes and methods OF improving
the crop was discussed Miss Dutton
demonstrated the home manufacture Of
freless cooker for the ladies. While
meetings at this time of the year are
not as well attended as during better
weather conditions, they are of value
to the farmers in giving them forum
for discussing their farm problems.
There is a growing tendency also to dis
cuss the problems Of the country at
these meetings. The farmer is an i'm
portant member of the world but one
who has not been very well represented
at conferences regarding the government
of his country. We need more discus
sions by the farmer and more active
part by him in the affairs of the nation.
No other class of people can be expected
TO look after his interests entirely.
circular letter has recently been
sent to members of the Farm bureau re
garding our plans for the coming sea
son. AT no time has there been so great
a need for increased production as at
present. Conditions are unfavorable for
the part of all At the same time we
need TO plan for the protection of our
section as well as for the country. As
the county agent sees this it means
planning much the same as was outlined
last season. First plan to raise as much
as possible for our home needs. Second,
plan to raise as much as possible for
livestock needs. Third plan to increase
the variety of livestock kept. rather than
increase in labor consuming mich COWS.
Fourth, plan 10 raise as much food prod
ucts for the other fellow as time and
labor will permit Further discussion
of these topics will be given in this col
umn from time TO time. Farmers are
urged to express to the county agent
their view regarding this and best meth
DDS by which we may secure these re
suits.

stitutes to about fifty ladies OF vii.

MONTPELIER
The Snow Made Central Vermont Trains
Very Late.

Train service was again im.sired Sat.
urday for the third time this winter be-
cause of snowstorms, but this time this
part of central Vermont did not seem 10
be so badly affected Ms the state was
north of this locality. A derailment took
place near st. Johns, p O., so that the
New England States Limited was finally
sent by the way of Rouses Point, get.
ting into st. Adams in time for the
sonthbound evening train which was
two hours late. A train OF five cars was
made up at st. Adams TO take the place
of the Limited, reaching Montpelier june
ton at $40 o'clock. but il did not run
fast enough, so that coal train which
left St. Adams overlook il Mt Essex
Junction and again at Montpelier june
tion. When the train reached the last
named place The two coaches of soldiers
were attached to the rear, while three
cars of rush freight were placed ahead
of the engine and freight locomotive
which had reached the Junction from the
south was turned, watered and coaled
and attached to the train, which then
made good time to Roxbury, where the
extra engine and freight crew were de-
tached and the regular train continued
to White River Junction The north
and southbound evening trains were all
late. Ahead of the southbound night ex-
press the snowplow was run. so il made
good time but was delayed at Montpelier
Junction because of the pulling of a
drawbar on the snowplow equipment.
The milk train Sunday morning was run
in sections so that the Sunday papers ar
rived here couple of hours earlier than
they would have otherwise. The first
section was composed OF Il heavy engine
a baggage ear for the papers and one
coach arriving little before noon, while
the second section did not arrive until
after o'clock.

As the result OF a thorough knowl-
edge of conditions under which wo-
men employees OF Washington hotels
and restaurants. are working, gained
through an investigation covering
the last month by John J. Henley,
international organizer for the hotel
and restaurant employees, the Wom-
ems Trade Union League today lie
formulating plans to enlist the as
sistance of Washington unions in ef-
forts to better the working condi-
lions of this branch Of labor.
An average wage scale ofs IS .

at a meeting of the women's Trade
Union League last night in the home
of Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, its chairman,
1915 Rhode Island avenue northwest
That Mattresses in Washington
receive less money than men employ
ed at the same work is the gist Of
the complaint. Bad sanitary condi-
tions and inadequate food served
hotel and restaurant help were dis
cussed.
Mrs. F. Hipp, president of the
Waitresses' Union, reported that at
the place. FneTe SneH was ehplOyeO
she was compelled to lift her skirts
while passing through the kitchen
department, because OF the bad en-
dition of the floor.
That the women are compelled to
eat '1eavings," and only food ap-
portioned them by employers was
asserted.
The following message to the wo-
men employees of hotels and restau-
rants was sent by the league through
its chairman, Miss Mary Anderson:
1.-The President of the United
States, the National War Labor
Board, the Department of Labor
the whole Government of the United
States, in fact-stands back of you
in your right to join the union. and
thus to bargain collectively with
your employer. And ii is only by or
ganization that you can correct what
is wrong with the conditions Of your
employment"

serious stomach ulcers. Food fer

with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist q few ounces of Bisurated

a quarter glass OF water right after

AIkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
AID entirely gresseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and q few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cIeanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to ham
die. Besides, 1t loosens and takes out
every particle of dust dirt and dan

Are yUu one of the many that

You can. Easiest thing in the

Get yourself weighed; then
reduce the total in pounds to
ounces; multiply this by Ice
Take the amount this represents
to the postoffice; buy aero
stamps; paste them up and
down your back; pin an address
to your coat collar and mail
yourself at any of the regula-
ton receiving stations.
Easy, isn't it.
They may insist upon putting
you in a mail sack, but it would
not come much above your waist,
so why worry.
A man weighing $50 pounds
could make the trip for 1854

1t certainly would be cheap
at double that price to take such

AN UNHONORED PROPHET.

We care absolutely nothing for the
grounding. He is a lazy, slothful erea
ture, who conducts his predatory career
during the warm, balmy months of the
year and then, fattened to the point of
bursting, he retires into coy corner of
somewhere in earth and waits for the
spring suns to warm his pathway and
TO uncover the bits of food with which he
can put fat and muscle on his wasted
form. Mister Grounding is laziness per
soniiied, and all his tribe are lesser ex
amples of the same poor quality. He is
miserable, grovelng creature without
sprawl enough to stay out and meet the
exigencies of the world, like most OF the
creatures of the universe Moreover, he
is afraid of his own shadow, and if, on
peering out of his winter domicile he sees
n streak of dark nearby he lodges back
into his house and curls up for another
long nap until his timid nature can feel
certain that the sun has opened up the
way to an easy existence for him. He is,
in short, a poor specimen. And as
weather prophet he has been so frequent
" discredited that he should have no
standing in the world. Therefore, we
assert again that we care absolutely
nothing for the grounding. incidentally, !
we may remark that Mister Grounding
saw shadows everywhere on this, candle
mas daY.

The Austrian foreign minister, Count
Czernin, can easily demonstrate the sin
certify of his appeal for peace by going
ahead and accepting peace on the terms
offered by the entente allies, irrespective
of the German governments action. He
can also order the withdrawal of Aus
trian soldiers and guns from the western
front.
