CAMPAIGN IN VERMONT
Rumors Of Mimic War Planned
for Next Summer.

According to the Bridgeport, Ct.,
Sunday Herald there are rumors that
the coming summer will bring to
the State militia new order of
things III the line of camp or army
life, different from tile doings,of Pine
camp or the old time weeks exer-
cises and drills at Mantle. 1t is
whispered that the United States
government has a new surprise all
mapped out for the militia of Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, which is
said to include assignments for the
regular enlisted men of the army
stationed along the coast, various
orts and as far north an Fort Ticon-
ieroRa near Burlington.
From what the Herald is able to
learn the plan under way calls for an
invasion of Lake Champlain points,
by Connecticut and Massachusetts
troops, with Vermonters and regular
enlisted men, with an arrangement
of three supposed armies in the field,
instead of two, as heretofore, in order
to make more rigid test of general
ship and real army tactics.

Some Old Almanacs and, /,
Papers.

D. G. Spaulding of Taftsville
shows The Age a number of inter-
esting old almanacs and papers, one
or two being survivors of the 18th
century. As usual the afnanacs are
filed with much timely advice for
the farmer and information about
almost everything under the sun,
while the weather predictions are not
too positive. They kept ON the safe
side in those days.
IF no signs of storms and winds
should fail in this month" says a
wise forecaster in yellow almanac
Of 1917, I've shall have enough of
it." This was for December and
they probably had some winter
weather before the month closed.
The oldest almanac bears the date
of 1899 and was printed by Isaiah
Thomas in Worcester, Mass.
Among the old newspapers are
several Woodstock Observers :"
dating from 1924 to 1890 They
didn't catalogue local happenings to
any extent then. and only something
very unusual found space in their
columns. There was, however, much
foreign news and items Of national
Xnterest.
