poral Robert L. Ostrowski, mentioned

father and German mother, who lived
on the border land of Poland and Ger
many, he came to this country when IA,

the outbreak of the war he had no word

had been killed by the Germans He
was working at the time for H. B. Towle
in South Franklin and when he finally
concluded that his parents must have
persisted at the hands of the boche he
became enraged. He thereupon enlist
ed in Company B, NJ. G. B., at st. Al

ASKS ASSISTANCE FOR
RETURNING SOLDIERS
Definite Move at Montpelier to Get
Them Back to Vermont Farms
and Jobs

MONTPELIER, Jan. 2,-The L. S. en-
ployment service bulletin for Dec. IL
SAYS: Ready made farms in groups for
soldier settlers are urged by Secretary of
Labor Wilson in his annual report, which
makes public the fact that an investiga
ton has been conducted during the past
three years into the possibilities of land
settlement. Judging from the expert
enee of Australia and other countries,
the report states. a vast amount of
false motion can be saved by the prepa
ration of ready made farms through the
development of areas by means of the
community unit rather than the isolated
farm unit The soldier settler cannot be
expected to settle down in needless rural
isolation. He must be provided with
modern facilities for cooperative effort.
These extend to marketing, purchasing
and other needs"
Plans for an extensive back to the
farm movement i'll connection with the
rehabilitation of Ohio soldiers are being
put into operation BY the United States
employment service for Ohio. Our sol
diers will return to their homes with re-
newed energies for their work. Let us,
| by corporation, counsel and a helping
hand. render all the assistance possible
| to the Vermont soldiers. There is a
dearth of agricultural workers in Yer
mont. and the call for lumbermen on the
! farms and in the woods is almost unlim-
tied. The federal director of the United
States employment service in Vermont
r. W. Simonds has asked theeeo- opera
ton of the county agricultural agents in
an effort to instill in the minds of oul
soldiers an enthusiasm in the back-to.
thefarm movement. -
Patriotic citizens are lending their en-.
deavors to this movement, and everybody
interested in the welfare of Vermont anC
her soldiers will be only too glad, W,
feel sure, to furnish any information
that may assist. Data in regard to any
farms which can be purchased at a rea
lsonable price, deserted farms which ar,
still tillable, or information in regard t.
the neds of farm help or the knowledge o
any soldier who is interested in farms
and farming should be forwarded to tn
office of the Federal Director, L. S. En-
lployment Service, Montpelier.
