SCHOOL CHILDREN INVEST
Big Rush to buy Thrift Stamps and
Help Win vhe War.

Big Rush to Buy Thrift Stamps and
Help Win the War.
When the whole story of the United
States thrift and war-savings stamp
campaign in Vermont is told, it will be
found that the school children of the
Green Mountain State played an import
ant part in the success of tho effort. It
is probable that there is scarcely a school
in Vermont in which the children are not
interested to the extent Of purchasing
thrift stamps.
AS yet there is nothing by which It
can be determined just how many Ver-
mont children are purchasers of the
stamps. but reports already received tell
of school rooms in which each and every
one Of the pupils is the holder of one or
more Of the thrift stamps. Moreover.
many other schools are reporting their
near approach to the 100 per cent. enlist
fnent In this patriotic cause.
Every child in Vermont who cherishes
the Stars and Stripes and who wants
to do everything possible to help his
country to win the war should work
INCREASINGLY to increase the sale Of thrift
stamps in his school. After filling out
one thrift card don't stop there. but
start another and then another. Keep
everlastingly at 1t. Let it be said that
! the school children Of Vermont did their
part toward winning the war.

TEST YOUR SEEDS.

The National War Garden Commits
sion says in a bulletin that it was never
before SO important for gardeners to
test their garden seeds as II is this
year. because Of the seed shortage, and
also to avoid loss Of time by planting
worthless seeds.
The bulletin goes on to say a simple
tester can be made at home in a few
minutes. To make a small one just
take a plate and cut piece Of blotting
paper or other thick. soft paper, with
out printing on 1t. to At into the plate.
Cut another the same size to cover over
the first one. Pour on enough water
to wet both papers. Count out from
10 to 80 of the seeds you wish to test.
lift the top paper. place the seeds on
the bottom one and put the top paper
back in position. Now keep the plate
in ordinary room temperature and the
papers moist.
Some seeds will begin to sprout in a
day or two and others will take longer
If the first lot does not sprout try an
other lot. If you cannot make the seed
sprout in this way it will not sprout in
the ground. and it would be useless to
plant it-discard 1t and get another
supply. With most seeds at least three
quarters ought to terminate.
II plate does not make a large
enough tester use tray or pan. Put
in as many lots of seed as you want to
test. Small lots of the larger seeds,
like corn and beans, may be sprouted
in the tester for planting in the garden
to save time. This is the method ad-
vised by the United States department
of agriculture.
1t is possible. says the bulletin, that
unprincipled people may dump a lot of
old worthless seed on the market. the
shortage makes this tempting. Some
of the States have pure seed law.

MACHINERY ON THE FARM.

(From the Canton, N. Y. Plaindealer.)
A farmer can buy q tractor from $500
to 81. 400 He can install a thirty-cow milk
ing machine for about $3.50. or a sixty-cow
machine for about $500. Add to this the
cost Of a light gasoline engine. and he
ought to have in large measure solved the
hired help and production problem at one
investment Of from $500 to $3.50.
An agent says: Last year took my
first order for milking machines in Water
town. 1t was for little over $3.50 worth
On my trip there this winter took an
other order from the same firm. and this
order was for considerably over $4,000
worth. I know one woman. She is not

NEW YORK MOUNTING EXPENSES.

NEW YORK MOUNTING EXPENSES.
That modern State government comes
h sh. especially in this time Of war. is
indicated by the experience Of the great
State of New York. When Charles E.
Hughes was governor the entire cost Of
the State government mounted to what
as then regarded as the stupendous sum
OF $4,000 900. When the democrats came
into power, they thought they were fortu-
nate in being able to hold down. the
grand total Of appropriations for the State
government to less than $4s.ooOoOo. Tho
democrats are now charging that the in
cYsase in the cost of State government
under Governor whitman as compared
with that Of Governor Glynn will be $751;
100000. or a total Of 9.oooo 900.
Making all due allowances for political
exaggeration, we must admit this Is an
enormous expense for a State government.
1t is not to be forgotten that the Empire
State has put great army into the field,
and this has been done in many instances
regardless of expense.
Champion Of economy in State ex-
penditures realize. however, that in New
York they are tremendously Handicapped
by the fact that the American metropolis
is included within its borders. Gotham
not only exacts a large support by the
State. but it also tempts toward constantly
increased extravaganza by practically
limitless subjects Of taxation.

that her former gifts have been brought

other towns and cities gave assurance
that they intend to collect their respec-

GERMAN DRIVE DEVELOPMENT.

Ono OF the most reassuring considera-
tions for Americans in connection with
the Hindenburg drive against the allied
lines in France is that since the initial
movement Of the first day the Germans
have stopped cutting big pieces of pie"
out Of the British front by driving two COL
umns into It from diffesent directions and
bringing them together far behind the
lines. with large number Of prisoners as
an inevitable result. Since the first two
few captures
One explanation Of this development is
that the British west of Cambria have
massed forces against the northern Ger
man column and held 1t back. while the
British forces in the center have had time
to retire from the German ''pincers," as
some experts call the movement. The net
result Of this development has been to let
the German column at the south advance
much further west than the north column.
At the close of the fighting Tuesday
the two sides Of the German advance with
the old line represented a great triangle
like three-sided snow pillow. with the
short side extending east and west along
the Disc river. which the French are hold
ing tenaciously. The other advancing and
long side extends. from the western angle
northerly through the region OF Noyon,
Nesle and Peronne on the Somme river
and so on to point near Arras. where it
when the drive began. +.
The Germans are apparently seeking to
break the allied front near the Disc river.
whore the British and French forces Join,
the French having recently relieved the
British on the LIE Fere sector BY fore
ing the southwestern wedge we have de-
scribed between the French and British
troops Hindenburg would accomplish two
things. In the first place he would sepa-
rate the British and French armies and
make II impossible for them to support
each other later on. In the second place he
would open road directly toward Paris.
In lengthening the south side of the
triangle which already extends from lie
Fere westerly to Noyon. and beyond--a
distance of "a miles-Hindenburg Is con-
stantly increasing the possibility Of an al
lied movement on his left flank from the
south. There is danger that the allies
may send their reserves from the south
