khIldren's Garments Made From
Yarn Are Badly Needed in
Devastated Sections.

Rock Island women proved that
they fully realized the suffering
among the populations in war-de-
vastated regions of Europe by their
generous donations to the used
clothing drive.
But all the used clothing the
United States can contribute will
but halfway solve the tremendous
~ grave problem of supplying
warmth and comfort to these war
sufferers" statement from the
Rock Island Red Cross says today
1T is for this reason that we ask
every knitter in the city to do her
own share in making the children's
sweaters and stockings for which
yarn is now being distributed at
Red Cross headquarters.
AT the Red Cross rooms there
are five photographs of little chill
Sdren OF the war-ridden nations
cisil5ren dressed in their 'best'-a
few rags patched ami repatched and
fad ing apart from sheer decay.
Fo years ago these same chill
tre wore clean, whole garments,
~ presented as happy an appear

City. Now it is not only their own
parents who can give them no gar
Eents, but their factories, their
own government cannot supply
them for the Huns destroyed their
textile mills and wrecked or stole
their stores of raw materials. No
amount of money can purchase
what does not exist. And so they
are turning to America.
If They Passed You!
IF they passed you on the street,
shivered and ashamed in their
rags; if you saw a young widow
with a tiny baby in her arms and
nothing to wrap around him but her
own torn and soiled shawl, you
would knit not one but d dozen of
these tiny, warm sweaters, and
those little stockings. Yet these
conditions do exist, and before our
eyes. for the Red Cross camera has
brought them to us. Go to the Red
Cross today you who so patriot
.cally knitted for our soldiers-and

YOUNG COUPLES ON FARMS.

The Rutland Herald has joined the
Reformer and the Bennington Banner in
for the improvement of ru-
raj conditions in Vermont. This nearly
the list of southern Vermont
dailies committed to a discussion of this
subject and should aid in getting this
subject seriously considered by the peo-
pie of this end of the state. The Her
aid offers this suggestion
What we need in Vermont more than
anything else is a few thousand ambi-
tious, not too highfalutin, and constitu-
tionallv Woodworking young men and
women-in couples-who are courageous
enough to take a dormant farm, with
its rundown acres and buildings, its
mustard, paint brush. daisies or what
ever pest it last yielded to, and to go
to making a regular home for two and
what follows after.
1t can be done, although winning a
home out of a wilderness of weeds and
neglect is next door to hewing it out of
the virgin forest, with perhaps a few
odds on the forest.
Legislation certainly won't give us
these boys and girls. but education and
common-sense will go a great way in
that direction. Watch the Vermont
farms grow as the Vermont families
grow-within the next few years.
Evidently the Herald does not agree
with the Reformer that the most prom
ising field for improvement is on the
good farms of the state but thinks it is
on the "run down acres" The run
down acres certainly do not offer the
attractions of a good farm, good build
ings and good equipment both indoors
and out. They call for pioneering and
all its denials and young couples today
are not thirsting for pioneering. As the
Herald says, in the dormant farm prob
lem the profits are apt to be small and
hard work is a very positive and reli-
able factor.
We maintain that farming on a good
farm is more profitable, more com.
Portable, more intelligent and more
HttNlNA We DtiItNC tudG
ers should turn their attention to secur-
ing the proper human equipment for its
good farming lands and let the dormant
farms remain dormant until conditions
favor their profitable development
There is no better equipment for good
farms than ambitious, constitutionally
hard working young men and women
and, if they possess the sound Judgment
necessary for success, they will not pass
the most desirable farms for dormant OF
run down acres.
Can the three dailies of southern
Vermont form a triumvirate in the
championship of good farmers for good
farms in Vermont?

A Serious Accusation.
(St. Adams Messenger

The Burlington Clipper makes the di-
rect charge that ''the Graham and Han
ley scandal (is) being put over with an
idea of having the entire charges pig
eon-holed :" This rs a very serious accusa-
ton, and The Messenger thinks that it
IS yet too early to make possible belief
IN its truth. But it has been made.
Someone ought to take notice of it, and
either shut ..he Clipper up or admit that
1t IS so. OF course, if such accusations as
these go unanswered the time will come
when the public will be warranted in be-
heving them as they evoke no denial
The state authorities ought not to make
the mistake of ignoring what is being
SAID of the case, especially if it is a rank
misrepresentation, as one at this stage
must believe that it is.

Cardinals Maple Sugar.
{ Middlebury Register. !

Nermont's prestige in the maple sugar
industry is not likely to be swept off
ITS feet by the stories which are emanat-
ing from North Carolina to the effect that
that state is booming the development
OF the largest maple sugar section in the
world. North Cardinals plans, however,
are interesting
During the past winter Agent Hefner
OF the Gnlted States department OF agri-
culture has been at work with headquar-
tiers at Linville, directing the revival of
the maple sugar industry in the North
Carolina mountains
1t is reported that last winter was so
mid that little sugar was made, but the
interest shown was good, and the pros
poets for the industry are bright
\ correspondent from that section, in
blowing about the possibilities says that
maple groves on the northwestern slopes
OF the Grandfather mountain will be put
III condition as an exclusive sugar orchard.
and he declares that if this is realized
1t would constitute a grove larger in ex-
tent of both the territory and number
Of trees than all of the Vermont woods
put together, and would develop the
largest sugar maple section in the world. Y
Good luck to the North Carolinians. We
can't have enough of the succulent sap
of the maple.

PoPULARIZING THRIFT.

To make war-taught thrift and the
practice of saving through lending to
the government a permanent and happy
habit of the American people, the Unit
ed States treasury will conduct during
1919 an intensive movement to promote
wise spending, intelligent saving and
safe investment
The immediate and concrete objective
of the campaign is to encourage the
public to continue buying war saving
stamps and Liberty bonds and thus sup
ply funds for meeting government obi
cations arising from the war. 1t is es-
sential to q sound economic program

capital, share in financing government

capital, share in financing government
operations.
The fact that 30,O0O,oO0 people-men,
women and children-through owner
ship of government securitiesgow have
direct personal share and interest in
the government, whereas before the war
only 100000 people had such direct f.
nancial participation, also constitutes a
civic asset too valuable to lose.
The ultimate objective is so to popu-
larize thrift that one of the most valu-
able lessons taught by the war will be-
come happy everyday national habit.
The result would be people who spend
freely, but who think before they spend
in order that they may get full value.
Wise spending involves weighing pres
ent needs and desires against future
needs and desires, while intelligent saw
ing and investment provide for future
spending, whether to cope with rainy
day emergencies or to take advantage
of sunny opportunities.
Practice of these principles will clear
ly make for family stability, increase
individual credit and buying power, and
will directly and necessarily contribute
to commodity and national wealth and
prosperity.
To accomplish these several objects
there must be added to the war appeals
which were such potent factors in the
sale of 100000 of war savings
stamps in 1918, motives of post.armis-
tice and everyday peaceful patriotism,
and especially practical motives of self.
interest in saving.
