REV. J. w. BARNETT
HOME FROM EUROPE
Says Europe Halls q. S. as Savior

Blocked Boche.

Rev. John w. Barnett, until about a
year ago pastor of the Barre Congrega
tional church and known to all Barre
people, arrived at his home in Needham,
Mass, Saturday, after 10 months service
with the Y. M. G. A. in England. He de-
clared to Boston newspaper man that
all Europe realizes that Germany could
never have been conquered without the
aid of American armies.

months have been located at southern
English port where American troops
were constantly arriving. Thousands
upon thousands Of fine American boys
constantly poured from the ships--from
Maine, from Texas, from California. In
June alone, five conveys arrived, and
each represented 10000 men. Think of
it, 10000 men in 80 days. And the
same ratio kept up during July. The
transportation facilities are magical and
none of these men stayed in England
longer than five days. They came and
they were off again to the training camps
in France. All Europe is amazed at the
quality of the men.
"Yes, saw some hospital work." he
continued. 81 also officiated at the fu-
nerals of 25 American boys / want the
parents of America to know how tender

of those American boys. They look upon
these as sacred things, and on Memorial
day the women from far and near heaped
the mounds high with floral tributes.
Every young soldier now abroad is
showing spirit that is nothing short of
an inspiration. They are all impatient
to get in it. whatever the cost may be

"The majority OF the troops are being
landed at new port in Franco port

transformed this quiet place into one of

Should Set Brains of the
Country to Conserving Coal

1t requires 100000 tons of coal for
the daily needs of the United States
in times of peace. Just how great has
been the increase in consumption due
to war conditions is not authoritative
Nv stated, but the country must be
burning nearly 100000 tons Of coal
each day. One-third of this fuel is
not consumed in the stoves and fur
naces but goes out with the ashes.
One-third is used for purposes which
are of no real value to the nation and
confer no benefit upon the individuals
who burn it. The other third of the
coal used in the United States is the
necessary amount which Is vital to the
conduct of the nations affairs. And
the individual and the official and the
power plant should set the best brains
of the country to the task OF conserv-
ing the two-thirds of the nations coal
which now are wasted.-Houston Post.

POULTRY MAN
GIVES ADVICE

The incubator should be ordered six
or eight weeks before 1t is expected to
start the lamp going, said a success
ful roultryman. Many delay ordering
until a week or two before the machine
is wanted, and are usually disappoint-
ed because it does not arrive at the
expected time. During the rush sea-
son. incubator manufacturers some
times have more than they can prompt
Nv attend to, and some delay in t1ll-
ing orders is unavoidable. The safe
way is to order in advance of the
breeding season. Another advantage
in ordering is that one can take plenty
of time to adjust and regulate the
machine, and to study the directions
for it's proper operation.
The kind or type of incubator to buy
will often puzzle the beginner. Two
systems Of heating are employed in the
manufacture of incubators-the hot
air system and the hot-water system.
Tn general, it may be stated that either
system of heating is satisfactory. L
have three hot-water machines and
one hot-air machine, and find that one
system of heating is not superior to
the other. Each system has its adj
yantagcs, and it may also be stated
that each has it's disadvantages. In
case the lamp, for any reason, goes
ont hot-water machine would hold
its heat much longer than would

tention the lamp will not go out.

to operate a machine of two-hundred-

little one. When this testing Is COM
pleted, another big machine and the

ously and the operation repeated. The
little machine enables me 20 run my
