SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Administra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pOund
loaves of bread for every person in
the country This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the U.
S. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop. cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triottc service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket"
as a result of the grain saved.

hand, in the employ of the Parker
Young Co., is in Newport Jail,
charged with Aliens murder.
A Boston detective with States At
torney Thompson of Barton and
Sheriff E. J. Hill of Newport are
said to have secured confession
from Kelsey, who said that he plan
ned in the afternoon to get Allen into
the upper yard and get his money.
He described the instrument with
which the crime was committed as a
brass rod about two feet in length,
This instrument was found and
identified by him. He struck Allen
once on the back of the head, knock
ing him down, but Allen got up and
he struck him two or three times
more, and was then frightened a
way before having opportunity to
secure the $3.50 which Allen had ON
his person.
Kelsey has worked here more or
less for several years. He has served
one term in the workhouse and two
in states prison, his last term being
for stealing horse and burning a
barn.
Mr.. Allen leaves three children, a

DEER KILLED IN VERMONT.
The Fish and Game Commissioner
Makes Final Report of Deer Killed
During Open Season, November
10, to 20, 1918.

Windham County, 118.
Second Largest number reported
from Essex County, 103.
Third largest number reported
from Rutland County, 102.
Largest buck reported from Wind
ham County, wgt. 40O1b est. shot in
Townshend, by H. ]. Sprague, of
Bellows Falls, VT.
Total weight of deer killed, 146,-
057 lbs. Average weight Of deer
1872 lbs.
Total number of pounds dressed
venison 81, 371, value at 15c per tb
$14,6O5.65.
Number of deer reported as il
legally or accidentally killed: Does II,
Buck fawns 9.
A considerable smaller number of
deer were killed this season than for
two previous seasons, namely 1916,
and 1917. Two facts should be con-
sidered, first: there was a smaller
number of hunters than usual due
to war conditions; second: the wealth
er conditions were such, being warm
and without snow, that the herds
were not broken up and remained
in the mountain region.
Our wardens have been active and
in most counties organized to do
most efficient work and be of great
est service to sportsmen and the gen
eral public. In several counties our
wardens report new spirit on the
part of hunters both resident and
nonresident, showing a desire on
their part to conform to the law.
The warden force consider it as
much part of their work to give
information as to prosecute for vio-
lations.
No accidents due to carelessness
of hunters have been reported. No
complaints have come to this office
from landowners reporting damage
to live stock or property.

CHAPTER VI
The Divine Rival,

For an instant Sally's heart pounded
so She could scarcely breathe The weak
woman in her was struggling sharply
with the cool, self-cOmmanding nurse.
But as she forced herself to search
Stcyc's face she saw the truth 1t was
not love she read in his eyes 1t was
affection, respect and the desire for
fairness and understanding. The old
feeling, nothing more.
The uplcap OF her blood subsidized
Balance returned. She could think
clearly and, thank God, keap firmly to
her purpose Her senses had iluttcred
for a moment, not her reason. She
turned away with a half smile.
Don't go, Sally" repeated Stephen,
like this-without half understanding
| knew from the few hard words OF
your note that you felt bitter and did
not understand" "
Il understand so we'll" said Sally
quietly that there is nothing more to
say ! wrote you a long letter, Steve,

the light came, and saw things
clearly"
Il see, said Stepnen, looking gravcly
down at her 81 suppose" he went on,
as though thinking aloud rather than
talking to Sally, that there's hardly a
living Soul who would understand.
People think I'm a william, a beast Yet
I've been through my Gcthsemanc. I've
not done this thing lightly Sally. I've
hated myself, scourgcd myself. I've
thrcshed 1t out in the watches OF the
night. I've tried to see Il from all
angles. I've reasoned But reason
isn't enough. There's got to be some
thing Oh. I'm not trying to ex-
cuse myself God knows only to ex-
PLAIN, so that perhaps We can go on
being friends, Sally as we always have
been 7"
He paused on an upward intonation,
watching Sally with hunger Tor un-
dcrstandlng that wrung her heart. She
did not dare trust herself to speak. She
only prayed that he would finish
quickly and let her fly back to the ref
uge OF her work. He waited. a mo-
mcnt then went on with an effort, his
gray eyes full Of trouble

Sally had to answer. More; she had
to answer truthiuly, for she was be-
ginning to see his side
