OFFERS MONEY FOR SOLDIERS.
Former Governor to Advance Funds for
Payment to Boys in Service-Saving
to State Would Be $4,000.

A former governor of Vermont who
will not disclose his identity at this
time, has caused the announcement to
be made that he will become response
bic for whatever sum is necessary to
expend in behalf of the Vermont
troops now in the field, leaving it for
the legislature to recoup him when
that body meets in its regular session
next January. In other words, this
former executive proposes to save the
state taxpayers the sum of $4,000 or
whatever amount would be involved
by making an extra session of the leg.
islaturc unnecessary.
There is precedent in Vermont for
the advancing of funds in this way to
awnit action of the legislature at its
regular session, and there appears to
be no reason why the precedent can
not be followed at this time. What ac-
ton may now be taken remains to be
seen.
The failure of congress to pass the
provision for the payment of militia
and provision for their dependent
families seems to have precipitated Il
situation where an extra session might
be deemed inevitable. 1t has been
figured that the amount necessary to
pay the troops would be from $4,000
to $4,000, although, of course, the
SUN would vary somewhat according
to the length of time the Vermont
troops are engaged. The legislature
will meet the first of the coming
year and the period to be covered
would not extend beyond that time.
The cost of calling the legislature
in extraordinary session has been es-
timated at from $4,000 to $4,000, ac-
cording to the time in which the body
remained in session. There is no legal
provision whereby the executive can
limit the number of subjects which the
general assembly can consider at an
extra session, so that the governor has
no wav of limiting the length of the
session when once that body has been
called together. The legislature after
disposing of the question of appro-
priation for the Vermont troops could
take up a great variety of matters,
and it is to be taken for granted that
ambitious members would take adj
vantage of the opportunity to let their
legislative lights shine.

BOOM FOR GREENFIELD.
B. g. M. to Spend s1,O0O,o00 on East
Deerfeld Yards and Buildings.

Contracts have been let and work is
beginning at East Deerfield on the eX-
tensive changes and additions in con-
nection with the yards of the Boston
& Maine railroad at East Deerfcld.
Supt. Flynn is authority for the state
ment that the contemplated work when
completed will cost practically $1,000
600. The McClallen farm recently sold
by James McClallen to Charles G. Dy-
er is taken for the yard addition. In
addition to a so per cent increase in
yard space there will be built large
engine house, big car repair shops and
new bridge. The ash pits are to be
rebuilt and enlarged and many other
minor changes made. This means that
some 200 more men will be employed,
many of them having families. With
| the 700 to 500 railroad men now work
ing in Greenfield this addition will
make the total 1000. This big
increase in railroad business will
give added impetus to the growth 81
Greenfield. With the department head
quarters there and the big yards al
East Deerfeld, Greenfield becomes one
of the important railroad centers
| Greenfield interests are very closely
allied with the railroad interests and
what tends for the best development OF
one applies to the other. The mer
chants will receive added trade from {
class of men who receive good wages
and spend a large amount of money
and there will be an added demand fol
houses, not only as direct result but
also indirectly from the increasec
railroad business.
With the new yard and equipment
the Boston & Maine will be in po
sition to give the public still bette

MILLIONS FOR RECRUITS.
Campaign to Secure $4,000 Soldiers
Conducted on Business Basis.

Uncle Sam s advertising bill in con-
nection with the punitive expedition
into Mexico will be $2,l71,000!
1t will cost the war department
about that sum to recruit the addition
al $4,000 men authorized by Congress
to fill the ranks of the existing army
to war strength.
Last year the recruiting service en-
listed 4S,S13 men at a cost of $S7 per
head.
cit will cost us approximately the
same amount per capita to enlist the
additional men, said Lieut.. Col Pey-
ton G. March, who is in charge of re-
cruiting in the adjutant generals Of
fee.
"The question of getting recruits
for the army continued Col. March,
els purely business proposition. A
campaign is conducted on the same
plan that a big corporation would con-
duet an advertising campaign.
eff a big business concern decides
to push the sale Of its product by ad-
vertising, it would be planned by ex-
perts. That is what our problem con-
sists of. We are selling jobs in the
army.
owe have to go into the labor mar
ket and bid against private employers
for men. We advertise to tell the
young man how much he can earn,
what he will get in addition to his
pay-what he can learn in the army
the opportunities there are to see the
world and educate himself, and so on
"Our problem now is to enlist the
ordinary number of men, and in add
ton, Approximately $4,000 additional
men in the shortest space in which it
can be done. Accordingly, we have
simply enlarged our advertising facil
tiles
The day before Congress authorized
the army to be enlisted up to full wal
strength, Col. March S service was
maintaining "a recruiting stations III
the principal cities of the United
States. The day the joint resolution
passed orders went out to the recruit
ing officers to open ITO new stations
making 224.
owe have practically the pick Of
the army when it comes to selecting
men for recruiting SERVICE" said Col
March. "This service requires men
of considerable ability and training
Then, too, we must have men who
know what the army life is so they
can explain it to a prospective recruit
We select the best men in the service
for recruiting duty"
The opening of a new recruiting
station is not a matter of a few
minutes work. 1t means going into
a town, selecting suitable rooms and
putting in the necessary apparatus
and furniture.
Advertising matter is sent from the
stations Names of men interested
are obtained, and these are followed
! up by letter, personal visit, additional
information, etc, exactly as the ad
vertising manager of big business
) follows up n "prospect.
The adiutant- general corresponds tt
the head of the business concern; Col
March is the "advertising manager
the recruiting officers are his "dis
trict agents. and the non-commission
ed officers and privates of the service
are the statesmen. Boston Record

ANIMAL ACTS NOTEWORTHY.
Cook g. Wilson Circus Enjoyed by
Audience That Packed Tent in After
noon-Too Late for Parade.

Cook & Wilson 5 wild animal circus
gave two performances on the Thomas
lot across the Island bridges in New
Hampshire Tuesday. In the after
noon the tent was crowded beyond the
seating capacity, but in the evening
the attendance was not so large
The animal acts featured the per-
formances, and justly so. Two elc'
plant acts and one by an ape were es-
pecially noteworthy and i'll the big
steel arena were shown several groups
of jungle animals that were made to
do various remarkable stunts by their
trainers.
There were some of the other fea-
lures of the usual circus, but thew did
not attract 50 much attention as the
animal acts, which are what the show
claims them to be, the best of thcil
kind in the world.
There was no parade i'll the morning
as the trains did not reach BrattleborC
in time to unload for the parade. In
fact it was nearly 3 o'clock before the
doors were thrown open for the after
noon performance, but the crowd wa
good naturcd and waited patiently.
