Remember the Farmers Wife.
The farmers wife is bound to need
| help this summer as much as the far
mer if she is going to take care of
her children, cook for harvest hands,
help in the fields, cultivate a vege-
table garden, wash and iron for big
family and do the weekly mendlng,
besides attending to some other tr1v1-
al duties like looking after the hens,
and carrying the milk to the cream
ery or making butter. Therefore the
city cousin who comes to the farm
for a long vacation or weekend
ought, for humanity's sake, to leave
her furbelows behind and pack only
plain bingham dresses and business
like aprons. Furthermore she should
exert herself enough in the hot kitch-
en- to make it possible for her hostess
the cool front piazza; then her visit
will be regarded as mark of divine
favor instead of an added aft1iction.-
Springfield Reporter.
The Vicissitudes of War.
God grant that Private Allen R.
Moore of Fitzdale, VT, be finally
spared! Having lost his brother in
battle, having himself been reported
dead, only to have it revealed that
he was gassed rather than killed, he
now is reported among the wounded.
The vicissitudes of war have been
following this young man rather
closely during the last few months.
The definite news secured through
the American Red Cross that Earl
c. Rodgers of Danville and William
R. HER of Bristol, two American
soldiers, who some time ago were
reported as missing in action, are
in German prison camps will come as
a relief to their relatives and friends
who were fearful lest the first report
meant that the men were dead. There
is, therefore, q good chance that the
men will be restored to their loved
ones, but at time which is most I'm
certain.-Barre Times.
Plenty of East Side Timber.
talking with the solid fellows po-
litically one finds that Hon. Freder-
ick II. Rabbit of Bellows Falls is
prominently mentioned for lieutenant
governor There are a good many
who would like to see his business
energy and experience in state affairs
on tap at the state house. He has all
the qualities to go with this very i'm
portant branch of the state govern
ment AS far as we know he has
given no indication of any desire to
get into the game this year. Per-
why the boys who are talking want

The east side is not without strong
timber for the Office of lieutenant
governor. Along with Mr.. Rabbit
the name of James Hardness of
Springfield has been mentioned.
Either Mr.. Rabbit or Mr.. Hardness
would beyond question fill the bill.
The Springfield man is one of the
very strongest from the standpoint OF
ability in the state, and there is no
position to which he might be called
by the voters of the commonwealth
that would be beyond his capacity

Vermont's Fuel Outlook.
State Fuel Administrator H. J. M.
Jones has sounded warning which
all of US here in Vermont should heed
We consumed 415,OO0 tons of coal in
ing the year as ending April 1, 1918.
We started this year with no accumu-
lated stock on hand and our allot-
ment for the coming year is 364,OOO
tons. Some local agents, who antici-
pated trouble, by early, and strenuous
efforts, succeeded in getting for their
particular localities more than a nor
NAL supply in the past two years, but
with the strict government regulation
this will be impossible in the immedi-
ate future. There is sure to be
shortage of coal in this state next
winter, even if the weather conditions
are favorable. Vermonters' have a
great advantage over people in many
other parts of the country as we have
close at hand large supplies of wood.
Mr.. Jones advises every town to open
a municipal woodward. This advice
is timely and should be needed. To
get the wood, however, it is neces-
sary to have plans made at once.
Wood cut late in the fall will not
make very desirable fuel. The time
to cut wood for use next winter is
now.-Brattleboro Reformer.
