was just about to begin when the
gaunt figure of the farmer was seen
racing across the grass toward the
scene of the conflict.

tress of mind. A humane chap,
the principals and seconds thought;
he wants to prevent bloodshed; and
they welcomed him kindly.

said, gulping with emotion, but is
this going to be sword or pistol

THOSE TERRIBLE TANKS.
They Have Played a Great Part in
the Winning of the War.

Thirty-six tanKs-one battalion
save at least a thousand casualties
every day they are in action. The
British war expert who made this
statement while discussing the pres
ent allied offensive with an Associat-
ed Press correspondent in London,
continued:
eve have used in the fighting on
ly a fraction of the men the enemy
has been accustomed to employ for
similar offensives, and We have made
up the difference largely with tanks.
Since the ultimate victory will fall
to the side with the biggest re-
serves, the more tanks we have the
more assured our victory. Tank
makers are as much in this fight as
their brothers in France.
''Similarly, the more numerous
the tanks, the less risk of their be-
ing knocked out. A German anti
tank gunner can deal with one or
two perhaps, but he is overwhelmed
with dozens.
'It has been commonly thought
that a direct hit by shell means
destruction. That is not always the
case. A fortnight ago'a tank receiv-
ed seven direct hits from German
'seventy-seven' gun, but the tank fin
ished it's Job and trundled back to
it's lines.
"Another in the Cambria region
went over rise directly in front of
a German howitzer. The howitzer
fired from fifty yards away and a
she'll tore off part of the tanks side.
But the tank went right on, driving
right over the howitzer and putting
it out of action"
Recently Major General Seely,
deputy minister of munitions, said:
''I speak the literal truth when I say
that I and hundreds of those it has
been my privilege to lead would be
dead now but for the tanks. They
probably preserved Amiens. They
certainly saved u.s."

PRESS COMMENT
Decisions of Grandeur?

The Brattleboro Reformer~ advo-
Gates the manufacture of brick out
of waste granite and Washington,
Caledonia and Orange counties are
having visions of becoming the brick
centers of the world. One Of the pen
alties of progress is the continual up
setting of the existing order of
things. Bricks have been made of
clay since the days when the Israel
ties were not provided with straw
and now some individuals with cur
ious turn Of mind proposes to knock
the whole business into a cooked hat
and substitute ground granite. There
is probably enough quarry waste in
and around the town and city of
Barre to make sufficient number of
bricks to build few cities of the
size of New York provided the dream
is one that comes true. A half CEN
fury ago there was a thriving o.,hre
mining business in the town of Ben
nington and few small fortues were
built on the product Most of the
ochre was used in the manufacture of
oil cloth. Some one discovered that
ground waste from slate quarries
would answer the purpose and the
ochre business began a slow ride to-
ward comparative oblivion. The
world moves and the old move out
of the way for the new.-St. Adams
Messenger.

TOMATOES BACK IN
FAVOR MAKE
GOOD PRESERVES

Thrifty housekeepers in localities
where fruit has been high priced and
scarce this summer are turning to
their old friend, the tomato, to in
crease their preserve supply Made
by the following recipe, which is rec
commended by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, tomato pre-
serves are a real delicacy.
The pear of cherry varieties of to-
mato are best for preserves. Other
kinds may be used, but these grow
easily and abundantly and make a
much more attractive preserve. I'M
merse the ripe tomatoes, a few at d
time, in boiling water for a few
minutes only. Remove the skins care
fully so as not to break the tomatoes.
Weigh them and place them in pre-
serving kettle with as many pounds
of granulated sugar as there are to-
matoes.
Prepare green ginger root by care
fully scraping off the skin and shaw
ing the root to small bits. Add one
level teaspoon of these ginger shay
ings to each pounds Of tomatoes
Let the contents of the kettle come
to boil and boil for 10 minutes. Re-
move the tomatoes from the siruI
and spread them upon fiat dish to
cool. This will keep them from com.
ing to pieces. When cool, return
them to the boiling sirup and BOZ
gently until they are the desired
thickness. Put into jars while hot
adding a slice of lemon to each jal
before sealing.

BOOTLECCER is
SECOND IN JULY
Police Detectives Make Raid ON
Soft Drink ParIOr and Pro-
prietOr Fined $500.

Charles Van Keuebroek, pro-
prietor of soft drink parIor on
Twenty street. between
Third and Fourth avenues, paid
$500 and costs Saturday night for
bootlegging. He is the second TO
be fined by the police since July /.
IL is claimed that Won Keuebroek
received a large price for his
liquor, as was shown by checks
which he gave to pay his fine. The
checks he received for cases of
liquor, show a gradual increase in
figures from time to time.
Keuebroek was arrested by De-
tectives Ginnane and Sehnert
after sufficient evidence had been
secured to convict the proprietor of
the supposed soft drink parlor.
Only $500 has been obtained so
far this month in fines assessed
bootleggers.
