reHido encuentro con una fuerza
zapatista que ataco y quiso tomar la

En- este e%ncuentro, parece que los

THE SUGAR SITUATION

America, which made exports OF
i40.0O0,000 bushels Of wheat in
the closing crop year, where less
than 20,O00,000 bushels surplus
appeared, is called upon now to
exercise like virtue with sugar.
The burden OF maintaining allied
supplies falls on our resources.
No sugar comes from central Eur
ope, none from Java; from Hawaii
and West Indies less tran usual.
French sugar territory is overrun
by German armies; frencl sugar
mills are taken and destroyed.
Submarine sinkings and losses by
battle have cost us great stores; labor
shortage makes inroads on production.
For England the allowance is two
pounds of sugar month; for France,
one pound; for Italy, one pound.
America seeks to share equally with
all who sit at the common table, joined
in the common defense.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

We are all jeslous Of our patriotism
and il is right that we should be.
Some may question it but it should
not worry US provided we arc sure it
is Of the right sort and will bear the
test Of investigation. War is not an
unmixcd evil. 1t diverts our attention
from the material things Of life and
awakens a sense of moral obligation.
There should be none whose hearts do
not throb with love Of country or who
are not prepared to make any sacrifice
in its cause. We may not all argee as
to the policies TO pursue but such dis
agreement is not evidence Of disloyal-
.y or lack Of patriotism. The best
evidence Of patriotism is constructive
criticism Of administrative mistakes

Here's hoping this finds you and

We have been giving Kaiser Bill fits,
made him run about twenty miles and
the last heard Of him he was run

news? Wish we could tell this TO
Daddy. Wouldn't he laugh some, too ?
Wish we had got the whole blooming
bunch. We had them in nice little
corner and we sure made it hot for
them, so hot that they dropped guns
and ammunition and beat it. They
were so scared that when they run one
of their big guns off a little bridge
they didn't stop to pry it out, but un-
hitched their horses and fed; didn't
even blow il up as they usually do.
They left large quantities Of ammuni-
tion and blankets, also machine guns
Were captured in large numbers by our
Boys. They had the pick Of the
ground to be fought over and they
knew the country and we didn't, but
when the Yankee Boys gave the Yam
kee yell and went after them they
could not stand the jar, but turned and
fled, leaving behind them evidence of
the good Workmanship Of our boys.

the Yankees shoot, they shoot for bus

How is everybody in the old home

NORTH DORSET

A letter addressed TO you under the
heading, Among the People in last
weeks Journal confounds Estate
Rights" as combatted against by the
people of Vermont during the Civil
War with the inherent rights of a
state as accorded by Article X Of the
amendments Of the Constitution. We
find the former spoken of but twice
in the history Of the U. S. and both
times as opposed to the Constitution
of the U. s., while the legislative pow
ers Of a state include all rights of self
government not prohibited by the Con-
stitution.
The state OF the U. S. covering a
wide territory of climatic differences
must Of necessity require local laws of
wide dissimilarity and to prohibit the
use Of alcoholic liquors in the rigorous,
grippy climate of Vermont would be
on level with prohibiting the use Of
quinine in New Jersey or mosquito
bars in the Canal Zone.
But we are asked not to think OF
Vermont but of the nation as whole
concerning the ratification of this pro-
posed prohibition amendment and we
think it will work out on larger
scale just as prohibition has worked
out on small scale, and Vermont has
given a very good example, and not so
long ago but it comes within the men,
ory of those who can remember back
less than "a couple Of generations
ago."
We are not going to debate what
are the worst evils Of our national
life though we have read that the re-
fusal of married couples TO assume
the responsibilities of parentage are
included, but we have noticed the Lord
is not afraid and trusts the care of a
whole lot of the future generations to
parents where the health, the effic-
iency, and the morals might be includ-
ed in the class referred to by the
article in question; while among
many couples who appear nice and
talk pretty there are no signs OF a
future generation to require legisla-
tion.
We remember a goodly lot about the
"liberty" Of the people in both the
Declaration of independence and the
Constitution of the U. S. but we can
not recall at this time the use Of the
word society" in either of them and
our own opinion is that the latter re-
auires the more restricting.
We agree that it is noble in some
cases to surrender right and we are
asking those voters who are safely at
tome in the u. S. to Surrender" their
right to vote upon this national pro-
hibition amendment till after the war
when those of our citizens abroad who
may be left can come back and
assert" their right TO vote upon the
measure. too.
Temperance in eating, drinking and
living is the best target for US all,
and we do not believe W. c. T. U.
stands for either drunkenness or pro-
hibition. Let us one and all be care
full about signing petitions till we
have given the subject careful consid-
Grafton.

Somewhere in France"
My dear Sister,
Another of your wonderful letters
received yesterday and ! am selfish
enough to wish / could have one every
day for they cheer me up whole lot.
am just back from the front for a
seven days rest and am willing to
admit that | need it. This sleeping
and living in dug-outs is all right, but
not for mine, and when you come out
you would give dollars to be able to
look around a little before you put
your head up, but you gain courage,
duck your head up all at once and
then down just as quick, if not quick
er, when you hear the whistle Of the
bullet.
| think | bear a charmed life for my
first horse was shot from under me. /
am getting to be an expert at the
"dodging game"
II is the funniest sound you ever
heard to be sitting in dug-out and
hear the shells of both sides going
over. We can tell the difference be-
tween the gas shells and the explos-
ives by the sound they make.
| hear George is over here and l
would very much like to see him and
maybe | will for very often you will
run onto some one that you didn't
know was anywhere near France.
We have Y. NJ. c. A. in this rest
billet run by an American Woman.
She is the first one | had seen in so
long that ! initiated a country gauk
in New York. We also had two n. Y.
girls play and sing at the Y. M. Z. A.
last night. They were very good only
they sang too many of those lonesome
songs which make you have a lump IN
your throat.
Well, / am glad came and the 9TH
er fellows feel the same after they
see little of it and there just amt
going to be no Germany when we get
through"
1t makes you proud to be an Amer
lean when you see them go into action.

when | get home telling Of scenes ]

low blown all TO pieces from his waist
down. He was conscious when we got
to him. He said: Never mind me,
Doc, help the rest as ! am going any
way" Not in the least scared about
knowing he was going "over." II a
man has any feeling it pulls on him
but all you can do is swallow and go to
the next.

but am feeling all right. ] still have

The new food regulations with re-
gard to sugar have caused some real
deprivation on the part Of people who
have been honest in their observance
Of the food laws The regulation
allowing sugar for canning has caused
heavy demand for sugar which is
more than normal for the reason that
practically every household ordered
canning sugar whether then needed 1t
or not. Twenty-Five pounds OF sugar
only to a family means that about four
tons were distributed in Manchester
alone for this purpose. No wonds~
we are now on short rations!
1t would be interesting to see ho~
much sugar is now stored up by the
more provident and less honest
people. We are all familiar with the
neighbor who boasts that they have
enough sugar to last all winter or who
has a hundred pounds or so ahead.
They are our neighbors and we do not
want to make complaint, but il a few
of them were fined according to law,
il would please those who are honestly
irving to live up to the rules and help
win the war.

Surprising as it may seem, there are
still many people in this community
who have not changed their culinary
and dining practices whit more than
they have been compelled to by the
Food Administration restrictions and
still boast of their patriotism. There
seems to be some difficulty in translat-
ing into positive service the thoughts
and ideas that are expressed in words
and to this extent, are afflicted with
lip patriotism which fortunately is not
incurable but seems immune to pub
lie sentiment.

The steadily increasing popularity
OF the War Savings and Thrift Stamps
is evidenced by total sales on recent
day Of $16,431 1888, the largest OF any
single day since the securities were
offered to the public. 1t is also evi-
dence that people are taking up their
pledges and not waiting until the last
of the year when it might be more OF
a hardship or inconvenience.

such conviction may be little short q
treason but on the other hand, we
must be careful that our criticism does
not degenerate into bickering and
wrong thinking which may tend to
bring our patriotism in question: be
sure the criticism is constructive,
The progressive farmer emphasizes
the Importance OF community fairs,
especially this year, when everybody
is interested in increasing the output
of the soil. The Importance Of fair
in community and the result that
may be accomplished by the co-opera-
ton OF all the people have never been
fully realized. There is no prouder
man than the farmer who has fine live
stock and good crops and there is
much pleasure as well as profit TO the
farmer and to all others in having
these products collected into a single
exhibit and where there may be an ex-
change of compliments and ideas as
between neighbors and friends. The
community fair encourages the farm
er to persevere in his efforts for inn
provement and to increase his knowl-
edge Of better methods employed by
others and it stimulates the Stacker to
greater effort and conserves the inter
est of all outside the farms who but
recently have realized or given consld-
Grafton to the sources Of the food
supply of the world. 1t is hoped the
people Of Manchester will commence
to make plans to make the fair this
year the best Of its existence and TO
feel that each one has responsibility
and duty to perform in this regard.
