Rolled
Oats

This is the time Of year when Rolled
oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the
Fan. To overcome this condition that
seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands of the
New England wholesalers and grocers
at a price that will enable the consumer
TO purchase a bag of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent to the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order a 90
pound bag of Rolled Oats from their
grocer. Rolled Oats and Cream of
Maize are considered the best substi-
tutes to use with wheat -four. A person
can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

Suicide at Sheffield.

John circuit, a retired carpenter, com
mitted suicide at his home in Sheffield,
Thursday afternoon by putting bullet
through his heart from $3.50 rife. The
body was found about two hours later by
his niece, Mrs. Ray 0rcutt, and the rife
was so close to his body that his clothes
were on fire when the body was discov-
cred.
Mr.. Orcutt was about 20 years old and
formerly was a carpenter on the Boston &
Maine railroad His wife had been in Bos-
ton visiting two weeks and he was alone in
the house when the deed was committed
He leaves besides wife, one daughter and
granddaughter who live at Lyndon Center.
Since he had a shock few years ago
he had not been in good health and it is
believed he became respondent and dis
eouraged. A note was left to his wife
providing for the payment of his out
standing accounts and telling her that he
was going to end his life.

SERIOUSNESS OF YOUTH.

The American boy is not what he was.
Formerly a large part of the students
out from school and college spent the
summer in Publications. Now all the
boys want to get to work The boy who
has not been able to find summer lob
IS as unhappy as he used to be if he
could not get chance to play his daily
ball game in the back lots. The same
spirit Of ambition possesses the girls.
Also these young people look ahead
much more than was common a few
years ago. They are planning their
careers, studying out ways in which they
can get a start. The burdens of life
have descended prematurely upon their
young shoulders.
a ten weeks vacation used to be
considered by many people as necessary
70 rest the children from the fatigues
of school; now the boys and girls take
their summer jobs the day after school
closes
Some people regret that the young
folks no longer have the light hearted
and carefree vacations they used to live.
But these are very serious times and
win continue so after the war is over.
The idle roaming of the old time vaca-
tion was often demoralizing. Many
young people became irresponsible, they
acquired a habit of idle loafing.
Physically, the boy working on a
/ farm or a garden is better off than if he
were loafing around the town growing

Cans, Jars and Bottles.
Hartford, Conn, Courant.


There should be no waste with regard
to containers for canned and preserved
fruits and vegetables The federal food
administration says that the prospect for
large surplus of vegetables and small
fruits, because of the war-garden propa-
ganda, coupled with the shortage OF
freight and express accommodations
makes it necessary for people to buy
their canning and drying outfits, cans and
other containers early in the season For
jelles and jams old jars and glasses may
be used, and no good containers of any
Kind should be thrown away, as they
represent not only possible saving. oi
food but also a saving of glass or tin and
valuable shipping space.
But thor, is one species Of thrift al
this sort that is not commended BY tic
food officials, and it seems that it has beer
praetlced to some extent. Milk bottles
have been used By housewives who have
considered their own necessities of NOR,
Importance than the rights of others
The milkmen have often complained, ane
the food administration says it is not say
ing to use these bottles for putting N
preserves. 1t might be added that thu
practice is not honest, though it ma,
sometimes be convenient.

Rah, Rah, Middl
(Rutland Herald


The Herald most cordially congrat-
ulates Dr. John NJ Thomas and Mid
dlebury college on the success of the
endowment fund of 100000, raised
at time when the conditions for such
work were decidedly unpropitious.
1t is no flattery to say that the result
is due in very large measure to the
personal energy, push and drive of the
hustling president himself, no less
than to the practical and active patri-
otism of the 1900 alumni who contrib
uted to the fund.
Keeping the y home fires burning in
our American colleges is going to be
something of problem during the
war, and The Herald has no sympathy
whatever with the notion that the col
leges ought to go slack in these times
of stress and tension. On the con
trary, on them, just as on our schools
devolves a most important duty in
keeping up morale, training our young
men into high ideals and providing oul
army and navy with picked, trained
men, fit for the great task before them
Middlebury has done great part il
that work and is destined to do still
more as the war continues. Hence the
Importance of the timely endowment
which will play an inevitable and val
liable part in the sustenance of the col
lege under severely trying conditions.

Fourth of July will be quieter, saner
and safer this year than ever before
1t is the anniversary of a memorable
event in history, the turning point of a
new nation which has become the great
est in the world. The patriots who gath
cred at Philadelphia in 1776 started
the struggle which, after years of war
against the mother country with Ger
man king on the throne brought us ma
tional independence. Today America
is in another great struggle. We are
fighting now not only for our independ-
ence, but for the independence of fber-
ty-loving people all over the world. We
are not seeking aggrandizement or ter
ritorial conquest. American motives in
this war are the purcst for which any
nation ever fought, and as Americans
we all face the future high of heart
and resolute Of faith, in the belief that
the right will prevail, but at terrible
cost in treasure and in the lives of oui
brave boys. The best way to celebrate
/ the Fourth tomorrow is to offer up {
I prayer, each and every one of us, 70
a complete victory over a rapacious ant
lastful enemy whose motives in this wa
are the antithesis of our own.

What would prevent the Germans in
Russia from making prisoners of any
American mission that might be sent
there 1t is pretty certain that German
ascendancy in that country could ac-
complish that, either directly or indi-
rectly, and it is equally certain that
Germany would not hesitate if the mis-
sion gave promise of gaining enough in
fuenee to interrupt Germany's plans and
progress. And what would prevent Ger
many from taking possession of what
ever materials we might send to Russia
for the succor of the Russians. This
helping Russia in peaceful way pre-
sents many stubborn difficulties. Inter
vention with an armed force of sufficient
strength to resist German opposition
looks much simpler.
