TALkIN' VAR.

Everybody talkin' war-just you come
with me
Where the red-cheeked apples shine on
the winesap tree.
Just come out to take the mile
That leads to country dav.
And let them fuss and fight and bile,
Well hear what Gods things say.
Everybody talkin' war-it's time to lend
an ear
To something sweet and beautiful and
ripe with sun and cheer.
Just come out and let them rant,
And we'll glory stirred
So far from all their fuss and cant
And hear the mockin' bird
Everybody talkn' war-and now's our
time TO slip
Down wher, the good green country sings
on many a warbling lip.
Down whore there is no bloody strife,
No hate and dread and tears,
But everything So glad Of life
That il dances and il cheers.
Everybody talkin' war-and what good
does it do?
Just come with me whore violets peep and
skies are bendln blue.
Just come out TO grass and tree
And babbling brook and stream.
Where Gods things dwell in all the gloe
OF romance and of dream.

pedo destroyer should seek passage
through the Panama canal, we could not
discriminate between them
While we have warships in goodly
number and while the Panama canal
would accommodate any of the dread
noughts drawing thirty feet of water, we
have no merchant marine with which to
celebrate the opening of this great water
way. and we find ourselves confronted
by tho necessity of devislng ways and
means of securing ships for the trans
portation OF the products of this nation
to the old world. This democratic Con-
gress is engaged In threshing out this
problem, and incidentally accustomlng
itself to the thought of extending gov
eminent aid in some way to the consum-
nation Of this great project.
Now that we have the canal, or rather
have provided the world with this short
cut between the Atlantic and the Pacific,
1t behooves us to adopt speedily the most
effective method Of making this canal of
the most practical benefit to our people

iously we may have compromised It's use

THE PANAMA CANAL AND nIE
MERCHANT MNNLNI.

Vermont is not a s"acoast state, but
We have a veritahle inland sea in Lake
Champlain which has taught us the
value of water transportation, and
especially the need OF means Of handling
commerce with other nations Probably
no State has felt keener interest In the
Panama canal and In the application OF
that waterway to the purpose Of helping
to develop an American merchant marine
than has the Green Mountain State In
proportion to its size, and the fitting
recognition given Admiral Clark in that
connection has helped to swell that in
terest,
The war in Europe has helped to ban-
ket what otherwise woS' rive been
recognized as one or che greatest OF
world events, namely, the official open
Ing of the Panama canal to commerce.
We are glad that while q large portion OF
the world is devotlng itself to the arts
of destruction, the American people have
devoted their attention as well as their
treasure to a work of construction which
will have the most far-reaching signlf-
canoe for the worlds commerce.
From the time Columbus discovered
America, If not before to the present
time, man has been seeking a shorter
rut between the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans than the long trip around the
Horn, For centuries men dreamed of this
contamination, and now tnat the United

Americans can have nothing but the
very greatest sympathy for these splen-

German people but of the Prussian mil

ing Christmas goods on sale early and
furnishing extra clerks to accommo-
date the buyers said the president
of the association. .s-, -
There are twenty-eight shopping
days starting tomorrow until Christ
mas day. The buying of Christmas
presents so far has been largely con-
fined to unfinished materials which
will be presented as gifts ~of handi-
work. The rush of Christmas buyers
has not been so great that the stores
have had to remain open extra nights
or secure additional clerks.
The annual plea Of clerks to the pub
lie to shop diligently, from now on
and entertain more humane spirit to-
wards the girls behind the counters.
