JUDGE VOORHEES, AND HIS
ACADIAN "REMINISCENCES.

Judge Felix VOORHEES,, the au-
thor of Acadian "reminiscences
and Of many short stories, very
recently became a member of the
Port Allen community. In his
"reminiscences Judge VOORHEES, de-
piets wildly the scenes that
clustered about the lives of his
ancestors in their home life IN
far-off Acadia and In their wild
flight to Louisiana. He received
his story from the lips of his
grandmother and relates it to his
readers in so real and so true a
manner that one can hardly draw
but the one conclusion that the
writer had experienced the ter
rible mishaps and dire misfor.
tunes of his emigrant fathers.
These "reminiscences contain the
true story of Evangeline-Long-
fellows Evangeline, immortaliz-
ed. Emmeline Labiche was her
real name. The story varies from
the Longfellow poem somewhat.
Judge VOORHEES, impresses the
reader with his absolute SINGER
lty and truthfulness. His work
has been highly and favorably
commented on by critics and is
accorded a high place in the
literary world.
Judge Felix VOORHEES, comes
from a long line Of Louisiana
iurists. His father and his broth
err served as justices Of the Lou
lsiana supreme court and he
served two terms as a judge in
the district court in st. Martin
and iberia Parishes.-Port Allen

RECESSION OF GLACIERS.
Northern Ice Fields That Once Met the
Sea Are Now inland.


Some attention is being directed to

long time this great ice mass has pre-

Assuming that the earliest charts OF

every reason to suppose they are

The sea are now considerable dis

means of telling if it has receded
The cause Of the recession Of glaciers
is not fully understood, but it seems to
imply an average amelioration of the
climate. Glaciers are fed from snow
fields, and if they become smaller only
one Of two explanations seems possi-
ble Either the snowfall in the higher
levels must have diminished or the
temperature in the lower levels has
grown higher. There are several rea
sons for supposing that the climate Of
the north Pacific zone Is becoming
gradually warmer although the change
is very gradual. Sir Charles Lyell, the
famous geologist. in one Of his books
speaks Of the breaking away Of great
ice barrier near Greenland, which Oc-
Cured. If we are not mistaken, in 1916,

ATHLETIC FIELD FOR CITY
Montpelier Council to Lease Langdon
Meadow of Central Vermont.

Montpelier, June at was an
nounced at special meeting of the
city council tonight that arrange
ments have been made with the Cen
trail Vermont railway for leasing
Langdon meadow for use as an
athletic field by the boys and girls of
the city. After discussion lasting
two hours, Water Superintendent Gin
ney was instructed to continue lay
ing water mains according to the
plan agreed on some time ago and
work Oh which was suspended at the
last meeting owing to desire to
change the route.
1t was desired to ask the voters at
the special city meeting tomorrow
night to vote special tax of 80 cents
on the dollar of the grand list. This
it is estimated will produce $25,326,
the sum needed by the council to
carry on work for the rest of the
year and to provide for the pur-
chase of an auto truck for the street
department. All of this sum ex
cept $1,000 for improvements at Hub
bard brook and $4,000 for the auto
truck will be expended on streets.

CHURCHES IN CHILE.
They Are Always More or Less In an
UncompIeted Condition.

When walking through the streets In
any large town in Chile one is immedi-
ately struck by the fact that church
buildings are always undergoing re-
pairs.
One day you will pass a church which
for weeks has had about six ladders
resting against the walls. Then an
other day you will find that they have
been changed to the other side. This
constant changing of ladders goes on
year in and year out. but no use ever
seems to he made of the ladders
though perhaps, Il new brick or bit
of plaster will occasionally be added
to the building
There would seem, however. to be a
very real reason for the presence of
these ladders. The Chilean govern
ment, In fact. levies tax upon church
buildings, but only when they have
been completed. In order to evade
this tax. therefore. no church ever has
been completed.
The law surely might be altered.
then. for the eternal presence of these
ladders -certainly an ingenious idea
does not add to the appearance of the
buildings or to the comfort of pedes-

MONEY FOR MILlTlAMEN
But Must Come Up to Standard Of
War Department

Washington, June 4.-Secretary
Garrison has introduced a new idea
in the plan for legislation which shall
give to militiamen additional compe.
sation to be paid out of Federal funds
in return for their meeting a higher
standard OF efficiency to be set by the
War Department
Instead of putting the militiamen
upon the payroll of the United States
army Secretary Garrison proposes to
give to the States, to be disbursed by
them, such funds as will provide for
each militiaman and the amount OF
compensation to be determined upon.
The Secretary is opposed to any plan
by which the militiamen shall have
direct relation to the Federal Govern
ment as individuals by their names
appearing on the payroll of the War
Department He believes also that
this plan of having the money allott-
ed to the States and disbursed by
them will meet with a greater degree
of approval from the State govern
ments than any of the plans hitherto
offered in relation to legislation for
Federal militia pay.
The effect of the Garrison plan
would be practically the same
while, at the same time. a relation
ship which he believes Objectionable
would be avoided. Each State would
receive an allotment Of Federal funds
sufficient to pay to each militiaman
in its organizations the exact amount
of compensation which 1t is decided
that the United States shall pay. The
States, however, will have sole charge
OF the disbursement Of the money.
II is proposed to give militiamen
pay from Federal funds provided they
measure up to higher standards OF ef-
ficiency demanded by the War De
partment. Officers Of the United
States army stationed with State
troops would determine the fitness
Of the several organizations and their
members to participate in the FEEDER
al pay.
