FEDERAL HOSPITAL
MAY BE BUILT HERE

That Middlebury may hope for the
location Of a federal hospital here is
the message brought back by DR.. J.
J. Ross, commander of the local post
Of the American Legion and Major
Robert W. McCuen of Vergennes, fl
nance officer of the State Department
of the Legion, who returned Monday
| from Washington where as members of
a committee Of five they asked recog-
milton of this town in the distribution
of government institutions for the care
of disabled soldiers. The Vermont di-
vision of the American Legion origi-
mated the request for the choice Of
MiddleburY as a site in a resolution
adopted at its recent state convention.
Governor Hartness sent a committee
to the national capital to present their
claims for the establishment at Mid
dlebury. Major McCuen reviewed as
follows in an interview with The Reg
lister the committees efforts.
"The situation in regard to the pro-
posed Army Hospital at Middlebury
is still in a preliminary state The
Commission appointed by Governor
Hartness to represent Vermont at
the hearing recently held at Washing
ton were informed that the policy of
the Government Committee would be
to take over hospitals already in eX-
istenCe or buildings now suitable for
that purptse. The Commission also
learned that eventually few new hos
pitals would be erected for the treat
ment Of spinal cases, and that The
proposed site at Middlebury would be
given due consideration by the Gov
ernment Committee appointed for
that purpose.
The Commission from Vermont ac-
companied by Senator Dillingham; and
Congressmen Greene and Dale appear
ed before the Government Committee
and also the Congressional Committee
on Public Grounds and Buildings, and
presented a formal application for the
establishment of one of the Army Hos
pitals at Middlebury. This hearing
was OF a preliminary nature, and in
order to further this application and
impress upon the Government Com

site at Middlebury it will be necessary
to furnish the Committee with more
details, plans and specifications, and
especially to point out the advantages
OF the proposed site, the healthy en-
virOnments, the good railroad facili-
ties. and also the particular advan-
tages of the location for a hospital for
improved treatment of spinal cases of
disabled soldiers of Northern New
England and Northern New York.
ut is proper to state that if the
people of Middlebury desire to have
an Army Hospital established at Mid
dlebury there is a good opportunity
for success. 1t will be necessary, how
ever, to put forth considerable effort
as there is strong competition all over
the country for these hospitals
"lf Middlebury or any other place
in Vermont wants an Army Hospital
established in this state, they must
take advantage of the pending situa-
ton and start a campaign for it at
once

HOT WEATHER DANGEROUS

Health and food experts all over the
nation warn the people against the
dangers that lurk in meals prepared
during the warm summer months from
unprotected and perishable supplies.
The slogan Save II with Ice has
been recommended to bring 10 the peo-
pie the necessity and the economy of
using ice 10 save food and keep it fit
for human consumption. Ice used to
be considered a luxury. The food that
is wasted and lost each day through de
terioration in homes where ice is not
used would more than pay the ice bill
each month.
Brookings is fortunate in having
one of the largest and most modern
ice plants in South Dakota having a
capacity of u to IS tons a day. or
$500 tons a year. This ice plant is
a part of the property of the Brook
ings Produce Co, m of the largest
produce houses in South Dakota and
which during the last year has un-
doubtedly done a larger volume Of
business than any other in the state.
Last year 800 carloads of eggs, poul-
try and fruit were shipped out Of
Brookings by this company. One OF
the big assets Of the company is the
ice plant which manufactures pure
ice from pure filtered drinking water,
untouched by any chemicals or con
taminated in any way. This artificial
ice also lasts longer han natural ice.
Before the water is frozen ii is filtered
in a large filter that cost thousands
of dollars. The company sells this
high quality of ice at a price lower
than ordinary ice is being sold in any
other town in the state where it is
delivered,
Brookings people are fortunate in
having all these things in their favor.
Ice means real economy and health
insurance to people here for the ice
is pure and it is cheap. Food that
is kept fresh and pure with ice is
the only kind that is safe to eat dur
ing warm weather. Food that would
otherwise spoil may be kept whole
some until it is eaten. Save it with
ice, it pays.

C. LARSEN SAYS STAY BY 1T

Stay by the farm bureau That
is the adive to South Dakota farmers
by C. Larsen, formerly professor Of
dairy husbandry and director of ex-
teision at State college, but now head
of the dairy marketing department of
the Illinois Agricultural association.
Mr.. Larsen writes the Farm Bureau
Federation at Huron that "the oppOr-
tunity of organized farmers to solve
their many problems is now the best
ever. Never before have the best
minds been set to work on the farm
ers' problems as now, and be
fore have farmers all over this coun-
try banded themselves together for
this great work as now. If farmers
do not now take the opportunity they
have, | fear that the public sentiment
in favor of such a farmers program
will not again be presented in this
generation.
"A strong representative farmers
organization has been an outstanding
need for many years. The farm bu-
real came to fill that need. This or
ganization has for its foundation the
individual membership of the farmers.
These individual farmers unite TO form
the county farm bureau. The county
farm bureaus. unite in the state farm
bureau, and the various state farm
bureaus unite to form the American
Farm Bureau Federation. The local
farm bureau presents a constructive
and interesting program of work, and

The county commissioner last week
adjourned the drainage meeting on
the Sioux Valley project after a two
day hearing until September s, when
the subject will again be ~re-Opened.
1t may be a disappointment to many
that the project is being cursed with
so much delay, but the supporters Of
the movement at least feel that senti-
ment favoring the drainage and recla-
nation of the valley is greater nov
than at any previous time and grows
steadily. The progress Of the move
ment is steady and there is no Ques-
ton that before many years the rich
fertile lands lying in the Sioux bot
toms will be reclaimed to useful and
fruitful service to the farmers.
Fishermen have been enjoying luck
in catching pickerel at Lake Campbell
this spring that has been ~uneQualed
in the history of the lake. Hundreds
of nimrods from this city and all the
territory surrounding are at the lake
every day that the weather will per
nit. One morning last week it was
estimated hat 500 people ate break
fast at the lake. In spite of their large
numbers they all caught nice strings
of fish. Many were rewarded with a
catch of twenty or twenty-five pickerel
with but a couple of hours of fishing.
Many of unusual size were caught, the
largest yet reported weighed IA
pounds and several succeeded in land
ing nine and ten Founders. The larg-
est of course, were the one that got
away. The very big ones, you know,
always break the line and get away.

CHECK MIGRATING CUT WORMS

Migrating cutworms have made their
appearance in damaging numbers in
several places in the state, according
to a. l.. Ford, extension agronomist
at State college. This trouble, he says,
may become quite general before the
cutwOrm season is over. Most of the
damage thus far is TO small grams,
and this is as yet quite small in many
places. The worms, which do not feed
during the day, move into the grain
800 or 400 feet each night and take
it celan as they go,
Poisoned bran bait, when prepared
and applied correctly, is absolutely an
efficient way to stop these migrating

kitchen. The hired girl had told her
she was going 10 the movies. Per
haps her husband planned TO wait for
her in the kitchen. The kitchen was
dark so she grabbed a handful Of
matches, placed a shawl on her head,
as the girl often did, and slipped
around to the back door and entered
the kitchen. She was Immediately
seized and kissed. Almost heartbroken
at her spOuse's faithlessness and with
a singing rebuke on her lips, she tore

the hired man.

strong molasses in about three gallons

practical methods, Director Forbes, OF
The Veterans Bureau, declared IN Q re-
port to President Harding, made pch-
isc yesterday. and covering his recent
country wide inspection OF hospitali-
xation and vocational training facih-
tics.
I'm making public the report
Colonel Forbes characterized the sSs-
tenn as Enthusiastically and apsoiuteiy

and have gone back to their respective

commenting on the report. IT Is notn-
ing short of crime and slavery TO put
men into some OF the places they have

let more OF the former service men DC
rxploited by mushroom houses that
have sprung up merely to exploit the

Government disqualification of for
mer service men was said by Colonel
Forbes I'm his report to be nearly equal
to the needs. except in certain locali-
ties. such as California. but he added
that IL would be necessary to continue
expanding the program. Hospitaliza-
tlos would continue to be a problem,
be aaid in contending that there could

government for failure to push TO

Colonel Forbes reiterated to the
President the belief that a government

added. get what they desire in the way

Orders were given in Chicago, 1ha

of training in certain schools and in

DROP KICKS WIN
FOR YALE FROM
