BULLDOG WATCHES BABY
Takes Up His Post When the Mother
Goes Into a Store.

Most mothers find shopping hard
ship when they are forced to take
their babies with them. Such is not
the case with Mrs. L. ID. McCutcheon
of Denver.
Dan, white bull terrier of good
size, is the best little guard and watch
dog in the world and when his mis-
tress goes into store she leaves the
baby in it's buggy outside, with Dan
on guard.
The other morning the baby whose
name is Betty, was satisfying herself
with bottle of milk, and Dan was
watching over her. Many pedestrians
stopped for a few moments to look at
the baby and the dog, which refused
to let any person get near the young
Ster.
II have no fear at all about the
baby with Dan on the job" said Mrs.
McCutcheon as she came out of the
store. "He always takes good care
of baby and would not allow anyone
to touch her. Betty never cries when
she is left alone with Dan"

work. And the government is waiting
to be asked to help him.
Jobs to Fit.
A man may not like his old job.
Colonel Woods office will try to find q
new job for him that he will like bet
ter. 1t can in certain cases help him
to learn new trade. 1t will place
him out as a well-paid apprentice. Or
it will show him how to learn new
things-direct him to evening courses,
or day courses, and give him work so
that he can earn his keep while he is
learning a new trade.
If a man finds that his old job docs
not want him the government agent
or the local employment agent looks
into the matter, finds out what the
trouble is and settles it if possible.
If he can't he goes about finding an
other job, at least as good, and as
nearly like the old one in kind as
possible. 'a'
And if a man doesn't like the first
job he can have try at others. The
government is doing it for the soldiers
because the country wants to make
the best use that it can of the 4,000,-
900 men who have, or should have, in
creased their earning capacity because
of the training which they have under
gone during the war.
The war department, through Colo
mel Woods, is directing unemployment
of eX-Service men, because it is sound
economics. And business interests are
helping, because they know that it Is
distinctly to their advantage to make
the best of the men who have come
back. There is no shortage Of work
for workers. And employers and en-
ployees both want to have the round
peg in the round hole.

LOOKING FOR POLE
FOR GARAGE CORNER
First One Twin State Co. Produced Did
Not Meet Approval of Road
Commissioner

Employees of the Twin State Gas Elec-

a suitable pole to replace the one which
now holds the company's wires at the
corner of Main and High streets. In con-
nection with the sidewalk improvements
around the new Houghton & Sinonds
garage one of the two poles at the cor
ner is to be eliminated, and a pole to re-
place the other was taken to the site yes
terday afternoon by the construction
force of the Twin State company. 1t
happened, however that Road Commits
sioner Wallace had ideas as to the kind
of pole that ought to be located there
if one had to be located at all-and after
failing TO find one to meet his require
ments among their surplus supply the
Twin State folks started out to dig one
up. or rather crt one down
There Is considerable feeling that the
pole at the corner of Main and High
streets ought to be eliminated in the
course of the present improvements, but
Commissioner Wallace said this afternoon
that so long as Main street has to have
any poles there might as well be one
there, particularly as it serves as stand
ard for street lamp and trolley wire
support in addition to its other functions

POTATO DISEASES
IN THIS COUNTY
Small Proportion of Fields Free-Vis-
tied by Experts with View to Is
suing Certificates.

County Agent w. P. Frost and two
potato experts from Montpelier have
Just returned from trip about the
county inspecting potato fields with a
view to issuing certificates to the own
ers of fields that are free from potato
diseases.
They inspected about 10 fields and
found only four free from disease of
one kind or another. These are about
an acre each in extent. The experts will
make two more visits before issuing GER
tifeates.
Potatoes certified to be free from dis
ease bring fancy prices in the metro
politan markets as seed potatoes, in fact
they bring high prices right here in
Windham eounty.<as the supply of GER
titled potatoes never equals the demand
County Agent Frost says there is a
large amount os potato disease in the
county and that it is increasing in ex.
tent every year The reason for this is
that seed from diseased fields is planted
year after year. Not until the growers
secure seed free from disease will they
be able to eliminate the trouble.

PLOTTED GOVERNMENT WRECK.
Labor Leader Tells of the I. w. w. Rev
olutionary Campaign.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-James P. Hol-
land, president of the New York state
federation of labor, testifying yesterday
before the joint legislative committee in
vestigating radical and seditious activi-
ties IN this state, declared that the l.
W. W. had organized many thousands of
workers throughout the country on
platform which included in its planks
one calling for the destruction of the
American government
The most powerful of the radical or
ganizations, Mr.. Holland asserted, was
the Amalgamated Garment Workers of
America, with a membership which he
estimated at 10000.
As an evidence of the wide-sweepinp
plans of the /. w. W., letters were read
into the testimony, before Mr.. Holland
took the stand, in which I. W. W. lead
ers urged European and South American
workers to join in a scheme for an Gin
ternational revolutionary industrial
union.' One of the most ambitious pro-
jects was the organization of the marine
workers of the two Americas and the
maritime union countries into 'tone big
union.
The most fruitful field found by the
radicals IN this country, according to
Mr.. Holland has been the garment indus
try. the second greatest industry in the
United States. Asked what were the
principles of the organization formed
by the l. w. w. among the garment
workers, Mr. Holland replied
They don 1T believe in government
They preach that behind closed doors
now and some of them preach it out OF
| doors.
The witness was then asked if it evei
| had been brought to his attention that
the Amalgamated Garment Workers fav
ored soviet form of government
1t has not only been brought to my
attention, but it has been rammed dowr
my throat replied Mr.. Holland "Bu,
the majority of the working men ant
working women are Americans first ant
not soviets, as some would have us be
| lieve.'

"HARD-BoILED'' SMITH HARD HIT
Brutal Officer Beaten Nearly to Death
BY Enraged Prisoners.

WASHINGTON. July 1S.--Lt. "Hard

death when he arrived as prisoner at
Fort Jay a few days ago, according to
a statement made last night by Repre-

American army camps in France. Other
prisoners at Fort Jay, who accused
Smith of maltreating them. leaped upon
the former officer before the guards
could restrain them, and he is now in a
hospital.
In the statement Mr.. Dallinger assert
ed that other witnesses would be called
to prove that a Lieut. Mason, another
officer in charge of camps telubbed pris-
oners, robbed them and stole their mon
ey," yet his sentence was nothing more
than dishonorable discharge. Com
menting that the first sentence imposed
