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 price that will enable the consumer
to purchase bag of Rolled Oats at a
price consistent 70 the feeding value,
much less than any other product for
human consumption.
We suggest every family order 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.

VEGETABLE GARDEN.
| s. NAN 0RABhl1 bQyeR

"There were many vegetables grow
ing in a little garden" said Daddy,
and each was trying to do its very
best.
The garden was not large, but the
children who owned the garden. or
rather whose daddy owned it, had been
given that much space In which to do
as they liked.
'They had heard that vegetables
were needed, that all the land should
be made useful and that nothing
should be wasted. They had been
told how wrong it was to waste, and
they had decided that it was not only
wrong, but it was extremely stupid.
$50 these two little boys and their
grow. Once week gardener came
and did all the heavy work, and at
night their daddy would help to water
the little growing green things. But
all the rest of the work they did them
Selves
1t took great deal Of time, too, but
1t was such fun. And oh, there was
great rejoicing when first the seeds
showed above the ground, and when
the plants that had been put in the
hotbedS began to look so handsome
and greenl
1.-The children used to hoe around the
beans and potato plants; then they
would weed and make the dirt nice and
soft around the vegetables. They
would water them SO they would have
cooling drinks and be refreshed.
1.-THE plants We're warmed and
helped to grow by the sun. 1t really
was very fine looking garden, and
all the vegetables seemed to be thriv-
Ing splendidly. They were still very
young, though the lettuce was almost
ready to be eaten-that is, if people
didn't mind having just tiny taste of
lettuce, for the leaves were very small.
1.-THE children kept from picking the
lettuce until it really grew to be the
right size, though it was very hard not
to take it up at once, for it was SO
fine to have grown something like that
They grew to know what all the
little green stalks and leaves meant
and what vegetables they We're. They
loved the green Of the carrot stalks,
and they thought it quite funny that
such a plain, substantial vegetable
should be so dressed up.
"And the beets, with their reddish
green leaves, were quite familiar to
them now. And the thin stalks of the
little onions. The radishes had a
coarse green stalk, unlike any of the
others. OF course they knew potatoes

REACHING RUSSIA.

II may be advisable for the allies
to enter Russia by way of the Pacific
as well as by way of the Arctic. There
are American marines in Vladivostok
cooperating with japanese and Brit
ish forces and, possibly, with the
Czeeho Slovaks. If this small force
needs building up, the United States
could speedily give important aid in
that work. We have $4,000 trained
Filipino soldiers in the Philippines. ac-
eording to Lieutenant-C Colonel James
Ross of Manila, who has recently ar
rived in New York and who saws the
Filipino soldiers would fight like de-
mons. In comparison with the i'm
mense armies fighting in Europe, this
army of $4,000 Filipinos looks exceed
ingly small and insignificant, but it
would eount heavily in Vladivostok in
cooperation with the American British
and japanese forces already there and
the $4,000 Czecho-Slovaks
The great trouble with allied opera
tions in Russia is the inaccessibilitv of
the country. Vladivostok is as far
from Russian centers as from New
York to San Francisco and half way
back again, and the connection is via
one singletrack railroad through a
country of severe temperatures. The
entrance on the northern side from the
ocean is not open in the winter. If the
Inflated Dardannelles campaign had
been carried through successfully the
entire history of the war would have
been changed.

and the tomato vines and the beans,
and there was dark-green parsley, too,
that gave such nice extra touches to
everything.
I wonder when our garden will be
quite ready saia.the little sister. I'D
like to start second crop of lettuce
Sand I'd like to start a second crop
of radishes,' said one of her brothers.
Now that night the Fairy Queen
thought she would take walk through
that garden, and she heard all the veg
etables talking and whispering to
themselves. No one else, of course,
could understand the talk of the vege-
tables but the Fairy Queen.
"'What is it, vegetables?" she
asked. Aren't you happy? 1t seems
to me that you should be, because here
you have such nice garden home, you
have such careful and devoted atten-
ton and you are the pride of two fine
boys and very fine girl
THAT is so,' said the vegetables.
But we get impatient sometimes
"WhyT asked the Fairy Queen.
"'Well, we hear the children want
ing to try second crops of lettuce said
the lettuce leaves. And of course we
have to grow and be eaten first. It
seems as If we We're dreadfully slow
sometimes, and we get a little bit dis
couraged and downhearted'
$50 do we,' said the radishes.
".And we each want to win the
race said the beets, from under the
ground, and their voices sounded quite
low as you may well understand.
What racer asked the Fairy
Queen.
Each vegetable wants to be the
first to be eaten,' said the onions.
"'Oh,' said the Fairy Queen, you
shouldn't feel that way about it, for
each vegetable has its own time for be-
ing ready. Each of you should simply
do your best to be well-grown Then
each of you will be winning your own
race"
And they all agreed they would do
as she said.

GUESSING THE KAISER.

A woman living in Spokane, Wash,
takes exception to the growing practice
of eussing the kaiser.
"We should not say damn in war
or any other time she says. GA
person who says damn is not damn
ing the kaiser, but damning his own
soul The kaiser is damned already.
The Bible says, "Thou shalt not
swear. If / should swear, ! would be
child of the devil. The kaiser is one
of the DEVILS children, and l would
very much dislike to be in the same
family with him"
Can you beat it9 Without venturing
an opinion on the ethical problem in
volved, we are driven, to express our
admiration for the ingenious way in
which the Spokane lady gets all the
benefit out of the euss words without
actually doing any overt cussing.
Having damned the kaiser herself
with such artistic vigor, surely she

The Bennington Raid.
(St. Adams Messenger

The wholesale liquor raid IN Benning-
ton during which the club rooms of sew
eral well known fraternal societies were
visited and relieved of their stocks of liq-
uor, has few curious features The raid
was not conducted by Bennington county
deputies, but was an invasion" of men
from other counties. The prosecutions are
not, according to press, to be left to the
county states attorney, but the states
attorney of Chittenden county, assisted
by the attorney general, is to be in charge.
1t would be interesting to know whether
there is any real reason for this seeming
lack of confidence in the local authorities,
or whether it is just safety first policy
that would be used in any section of the
state. Nothing of which the general pub
lie knows makes it possible to believe
that if the raids had been conducted by
local officials they would have been less
productive of results.

Capt. Archie Roosevelt was the first
of the ex-President' s sons to command
particular notice in the war against the
Hun. He was terribly wounded in arm
and leg but cracked a joke while the
surgeons were getting ready to work on
him. Major Theodore Roosevelt won
the war cross for conspicuous bravery
in action and now Lieut.. Quentin of the
flying squadron has brought down a
German machine. Capt. Kermit is with
the British army in Mesopotamia unless
he has been transferred to the Ameri-
can ranks, and his countrymen may
rest assured that he will not finch when
the test comes There is some demoe-
racy in a nation which is represented
in the fighting zones by all four of the
sons of an ex-President, and it is well
to remember also that it was the most
ardent wish of that ex- President to
lead a division against the Hun hordes.
