WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Beans Would Win the War.

1t must not be assumed, of course,
that the bean is as valuable food as
wheat. 1t is not so easy of digestion
as wheat, and though richer in pro-
tein, it is not so generally and COM
pletely assimilated as wheat. But the
difficulty in it's digestion is readily
corrected in the process of cooking,
especially by the addition of a little
soda, and it is probable that to most
people it. is as easily digestible as
corn and corn products.
AS an emergency crop under war
conditions, the ordinary white kid
ney bean of commerce offers much
greater advantages than the potato.
would put the American people and
their allies far beyond the danger Of
famine by another autumn. And the
kidney bean does not by any means
exhaust the capabilities Of the
species. There are more than 100
varieties cultivable in the United
States.-Brattleboro Reformer.

The Rutland Herald urges that all
state officials and members of the
legislature be reelected this year, and
that the legislature limit it's session
to ten days. The Bennington Banner
endorses the suggestion and points
out the saving that could be made.
1t says: "The present members of the
legislature being all familiar with the
business could have all their bills
ready and printed before the session
met and the essential business could
be done in ten days or two weeks.
The suggestion is well worth consid-
Grafton. A session of ordinary length
costs the state around $15O,OOO and
two-thirds of the money goes chiefly
to educate new members and new Of
ficials. 1t is not fair to say that this
money is all wasted but, in view OF
the demands of the war, Vermont
might easily get along for two years
without spending this money" The
motion being made and seconded it is
now in order to make it unanimous

expert. in testimony before the Sem

Federal regulation OF privately op-
Grated coal fields.

committee. has resulted as follows:
Instead OF reducing the cxorbitant
price Of coal II has actually Increased
these priceS-in some cases as much
as 100 pei cent above voluntary
prices in 1916.
Prices flKcd by the Federal Govern
ment arc excessive compared TO cost
OF production
Operators are refusing to make con-
regulations, they can get more for
free coal"
Thorno bitterly assailed what he
called the secretive methods OF Federal
authorities in handling the coal situa-
ton. lie charged that all data was
gathered In secret and that this data
is kept secret from the public.
The witness said that IL the SO per
cent. profit Of Missouri operators was
typical OF the entire country 1t would
represent a profit of $3.50, ,o00. 900

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

the simple little church OF the village
where Joan Of Arc was born. Frances
plain people yesterday knelt in earnest
prayer for the souls Of Americans who
have died for France.
Scores OF wooden-shoed peasants
they were-women, children. old men,
poilus-and even a few fur-coated
dristocrats who came to kneel beside
the simple folk, united in prayer as
France is united In war for right.
1t was at the village of Domremy.
The worshippers knelt In the ssnow.
their heads bowed reverentially as
they made the sign OF the cross and
petitioned Joan OF Arc. the sanity
defender OF France In bygone years,
to pray for '1es soldats Americaines
mort pour France" (Amerlcan soldiers
who have died for France).
Every church In the American
zone" OF France held special masses
to-day for the reposo of the souls Of
these dead heroes. 1t was a spon-
taneous outpouring Of Frances own
n1ople, her people OF the soil, the
backbone OF the republic. In their
own "-ngue they whispered haltingly
sh' vel remembered but strangely
t-Ant e pronounce names of Privates
! Starlight. Hay and Gresham-now
sleeping beneath the snow-blanketed
Lorraine battlefield-America's first
soldiers killed in action.
Nor were prayers forgotten for
those OF the Americans slain at Cam
brai. or for those to whom came
death through illness.
But II was at Domremy, birthplace
| OF Joan OF Arc-ln the very church
itself where she was baptized-that
the most impressive OF all services
was held. The worshippers, rich aud
poor, fighting man and priest, knelt
before the hallowed doorway in the
snow. There they could peer through
and within the crumbling portals See
the Stars and Stripes and the beloved
| French Tricolor entwined above the
simple altar.
After this conservation of the spirit
and the invocation to St Joan OF
Arc herself, most of the worshippers
visited Joan OF Arcs home-a de-
caying little stone house surrounded
by pines-to-day richly festooned in
the snow.
The village Mayor conducted visit
ing French officials and American
correspondents to the centre OF q
