"side-line" crop in North Danville.
They may not be quick cash pro
duct, but in the long run they will
prove to be by far the most profit
able crop the farms can raise.
Miss May Gilfillan discussed
the activities of the Home Econ
omics Department with a large
and interested group of women
who are considering taking up
some of the projects offered for
the coming year, and Secretary f.
Fl. Hallett of the Exchange had
chance to talk the seed and chem
icais situation with the members
present. The past year farmers in
that immediate vicinity ordered Il
full carload of chemicals and are
placing larger orders for the pres
ent season. This shows a progress
i've spirit and also represents a
tidy little sum saved by doing bus
mess through the Exchange.
Freeman Allen, the president of
the Caledonia Farm Bureau, and
one of its Invest live wires, trains
in this group and, with his capable
wife, was on hand to help engineer
the program and make everything
run smoothly. Mrs. Allen had a
staff of most e~icient assistants
in preparing the abundant dinner
that was served at noon that left
nothing to be desired in the line of
appetizing viands. 1t was an in
stance where Ladies Aid" was
wholly worthy of the name.
An honored ouest and interested
participant in the proceedings was
Rev. H. P. Glaister, the new Bap-
fist minister, who came from
Starksboro and just began his pas
torate last Sunday. Everyone
hopes and expects that he will be
a worthy successor to Rev. Christ
ian Anderson W-.o has recently
closed a very successful pastorate
here to accept call to the church
in Windsor. 1t is evident that
Rev. Glaister fully appreciates the
benefits of the product of the soil,
for he is already planning his next
season garden.
A local industry that means
much for the prosperity of the
community is the cooperative
creamery, one of the most success
full in the state. 1T is now large in
point of the number of its patrons
but in its ability to turn out a
prime product ana return a good
price to the farmers, it is the envy

of many of its more pretentious
competitors. 1t is no experiment,
however, for at the present time it
has sc patrons and has averaged
for the year to make 5000 pounds
of butter week. Some weeks it
has run as high as 1000 pounds.
This has returned the past week "a
cents a pound, to the patrons. The
year just closing has been a very
successful one. The product is all
sold to customers direct, and the
demand always exceeds the sup
ply The fact that the milk supply
for this creamery ali comes from
nearby diaries speaks well for the
standing of the creamery with the
local dairymen. Tor this reason,
also, many problems that bother
other creameries ;.re eliminated.
The directors of the Creamery are

butter maker and a sample of the
product will convince anyone that
he knows how to do his work.
The fine Jersey dairy farms of

of what nard work, good judge

but this one is mentioned as
good sample to go by
North Danville is a dainty little
village these days, clean and white
in the first coating of snow. 1t is
just far enough off the main trunk
line of traffic to be free from the
dust and the worry of the more
travelled thoroughtare Next sea-
son, however, while the new road
projects between Danville Green
and St. Johnsbury are being
worked out, the traffic of the
Roosevelt highway will be detour-
ed by way of North Danville, and
this diversion will give travellers,
both interstate and local, a
glimpse of one of the neatest and
most attractive of Vermont will
ages. Has it occurred to anyone
that this temporary diverted
stream of traffic would afford
some enterpriSing local people an
opportunity to operate tea shop
or roadside store for the sale OF
homemade products, maple sugar,
milk and the like? 1t is just what
the tourists are looking for and
willing to pay good money to get.
This may be one profitable side

There is "a hours in every day,
even the days that seem like less
and inclooding the ones that seem
ike more, and if you know how to
tell time all you half to do is look
al clock and find out which one
o. the "a it is rite then, only it may
no: do you eny special good to find
our, on account of most people Jest
looking at the time to practice cell
ing it and satisfy their curiosity.
Some clocks are more bewtifill
than others, depending on how
mulch there is to them besides
their face. Some big clocks have
littlc bits of faces and it don't do
you eny harm to look at them even
if they are stopped, because at
leest you are sure to see the dec
orations, vile some little clocks
have nuthing at al to go with their
face, such as alarm clocks. No
body wunts to look at a alarm
clock when its not going and most
people even hate to heer them wen
they are going.
But the most important ching
about a clock is weather its rite or
no, because if a clock is slow or
fast it ony tells you wat time t
would be if it was erlier or later,
witch its not, and if clock aint
going it ony tells you wat time it
was wen it stopped.
Watches are a CRATE invention
because they prevent people from
having to carry errount clocks. Al
You half to do to find out wat time
il is eny hour of the day or mite is
ask a man with his watch chain
showing and he'll tell you unless
he has a key on the end of it.
Big cheep watches are the most
convenient because you're not dis
wen you look at them
and see they're not going, on ac-
count of YOU having knew it eny-
ways because of the suddin silence.
They are also a CRATE comfort to
poor people because when they are
alone in a dark room with a big
cheep watch they can imagine they
go. a clock.

THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK

THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK
The Punishment of all the
sGreeks now resident in Tur-
key was cOOlly announced yes
terday at the Lausanne con
ference. This is the purpose
OF the Angora government: it
is not an achievement, and yet
Tor naked saVagerY it is al
most without parallel in mod
ern history.
Two weeks time are to be
-aiven for the removal of more
than a million people. 1t
impossible to transfer such a
host from Anatolia, European
Turkey, and Thrace to any
place Of safety within the in
terVal allowed. 1t is only nee
essary to remember the diff
cutly involved in sending Am
e1ican troops to Europe to pic
ture the difficulty inherent in
such a proposal.
+. The Turks know that the
Greeks cannot be got out alive.
They remember the Anne
nians who used to live in Ana
tola, and they have not for
gotten the massacreS Of 1916
and 1917 when, it is estimated,
5000 ArmenianS were killed
or compelled so to expose
tt emselves that death follow
ed. The conduct Of the Turks
toward the Almenians has
llbeen unique in its SaVagery
tand horror. Yet lsmet Pacha,
the kemaliSt envoy at Lau-
same, seemed to feel no en-
tarrassment in informing the
assembled statesmen Of the
Intention Of his government to
deal not less harshly with the
Greeks.
According to Lord Curzon
there were 100000 Greeks
in Anatolia in 1914. OF these
he said, "A million Greeks
lave been killed, deported, or
have died. Those who now
remain are men and boys from
fifteen to sixty years old who
have previously been refused
permission to leave. In addi-
ton to these there are approx
inately 100000 Greeks in
Constantinople and another
group Of about 100000 in
Eastern Thrace. These latter
have been settled in their
present homes for a thousand
years.
1t is not possible to picture
the misery and destruction
which will be entailed by the
removal Of these people. |
Measured by this test alone
the Turk is unfit to exercise
authority over any people.
During recent months it has
been customary to apologize
To- the Turks and to say that /
after all he has provocation. /
Nothing, however, can palli-
ate the cold blooded ferocity

A copy of this story was sent 90
the Worcester Gazette, and was
pcrused with much interest by
those who had acquaintance with
Mills. The story also contained an
account of the motherly interest
displayed by Mrs. Wolthen in her

Lewis Conference May
Develop Two Plans
to End Coal Strike

While government officials refused
today to comment on the possibility
Of the measure of success to be at
tanned by the coal conference called
for Monday at Cleveland by John l.
Lewis, president OF the United Mine
Workers. the impression was left that
Lewis may have two alternatives in
mind. one of which may bring part
OF The mines OF the nation to work
Immediately.
One possibility suggested was that
= contract is entered into at the
Cleveland conference involving a
tonnage of about 100000 annually.
less tnan half the total tonnage of
tho central competitive field. miners
producing this tonnage might be put
to work Immediately, thereby adding
greatly to the outpu; of the nations 3
coal mines. Another possibility was
that II an agreement is reached in
voiving this tonnage United Mine
Workers officials might hold their
men from working until the rest of
the central field operators meet the
sane terms agreed upon
The president of the United Mine
Workers has declared several times
that he will meet in conference with
representatives of the major portion
OF the aoO.Go0.00O tons produced an
nuaily in the central competitive e
feld. Operators OF the Pittsburgh
VEN group, representing the late
Mark hanna interests. and few scat
tered operators in Ohio are the only
ones who have announced an intan-
t!on to attend the conference Mon
day. BY far the major portion Of the
central field production will not be
represented at the conference. Lewis
position was held today to be incon-
sistent in calling and going through
with the conference with less than a
major portion of the tonnage repre-
sented when he has stated previously
that he must have respectable tom
mage represented before he enters a
conference on wages.
In any event. the government today
was represented as being greatly in
terested in the Cleveland gathering,
and hoping that out of the meeting
some agreement might come which
would raise coal production to a level
somewhere near consumption.
