forts society has been organized, and
TAT a meeting held recently these Off
GERS were elected: First vice presi-
dent, Mrs. j. G. Ullery; second vice
president, Mrs. H. E. Bond; secretary,
Mrs. G. B. White; treasurer, Mrs.
Frank Field auditor, Mrs George
Morse Love; registrar, Miss Della

ford. It may not be known generally
that, as shown by the disbursements
by the state for recruits. only the old
and populous states of Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia
furnished more men to the regular
army than Vermont. The National
society of the United States Daughters
of 1912 is the youngest of the patriotic
societies, but it is endowed with the
indomitable spirit that animated the
men whose glOries the society perpet-
yates. The Vermont society is only in
its infancy, but it bids fair to grow
to the stalwart proportions of its older
sisters. The president will be pleased
TO give information regarding the So
ciety to any who may be interested.
