Vermont National Guard Still Exists
the Supreme Court Says.

, The Supreme court OF Vermont,
to whom Gov. +. c. Smith applied
for decision concerning the status
Of the Vermont National Guard, has
filed its opinion with County Clerk
Ray OF Burlington.
The decision of the court is that
the National Guard of Vermont still
exists and the old First regiment
still lives; that the First regiment
practically went into the United
States army on leave of absence
and, upon its return, resumed its
old status; that all former members
of the National Guard who went to
the war are still members of the
National Guard; that all former
Guardsmen who did not go are hon
orablv discharged from service; and
that citizen volunteers who enlisted
to bring the companies up to a war
strength, upon their muster out re-
turned to civil life and are not men,
bers OF the National Guard.

More Vermont Posto1flces Made
Money Order Offices.

There is still further evidence of
the prosperity of Vermont post
offices. The smaller towns of the
state are to have additional facilities

cided to extend the privilege of sell
ing domestic money orders in the
state. Nearly 90 Offices will be
affected by the recent decision.
Postmasters are allowed to sell do
nestle money orders only where the
business of the office measure, up to
il certain standard and where there
promises to be sufficient patronage
TO reimburse the postotficc depart
nent for the additional cost.
