The assistant commissioner had i'm

the insect as a pea pod weevll and no

Mr. Worsham took occasion to men

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
A Case of Destitution.

Editor. Barre Times: ] would like to
ask to have a little space in your valua-
bic paper and would like to call the at
tention of our people TO something that
exists right at our doors. While out
walking Sunday with some of my
friends. we found family living Just
outside of our city-man. woman and
children-apparently in hard circum-
stances. The oldest girl is about three
years OF age and the children have not
clothes enough to cover their bodies,
while the mother has not sufficient
clothes 50 as TO 90 out Of doors, to say
nothing Of food and other necessaries OF
lie.
There are 4 lot Of our citizens here in
Barre who have lot Of old discarded
clothes which they would be willing to
give for this They are certainly needed,
as the winter Is coming and these little
children ought to be taken care Of or
h. provided for | am sure that such
things AZ shoes, stockings. sweaters. etc.

for them.

It has not been satisfactorily explained
why the human species will make bed
on railroad and trolley tracks when there
is plenty of other ground nearby that is
considerably softer and immeasurably
safer; vet it is a curious fact that people
do gravitate toward the place of danger
like n moth before the flame Another
demonstration of the fact was given near
Winooski last night when man went to
sleep on the street car track and was
cut to pieces by the wheels of a trolley
car. Pedestrianism on the tracks is bad
enough but this practice is incomparably
worse. The only safe course of conduct
is to keep away from the danger all the
time.

When the total number of men report
ed to have been taken prisoners is con-
sidered, it is matter for considerable
wonder that the Rumanians have any
army left at all. The Teutons and the
Turks have been taking large chunks of
the soldiery every day since the great
drive on Bucharest was started, and yet
the defending force seems to be sufficient
to carry the dignity of the name OF an
army. There arises a suspicion that the
stories grow in magnitude with the dis
lance they have to travel to reach the
United States.

EvERYBoDy's BUSINESS.

The official reply of the German gov
eminent to the protest by Switzerland
against the deportation of Belgians from
their native land is said to be clothed in
polite language but to be very positive
in the declaration that until Switzer
lands interests have been iaterfered with
there is no call for Switzerland to mix
up in the matter at all. In other words,
Switzerland is told to go and mind its
own business. Replies of similar nature
are reported to have been sent to various
other neutral nations which have felt
the injustice of the German act in 5~
porting the Belgians. The United States
has not vet been told to leave the mat
ter to Germany but the intimations that
have come from Berlin amount practically
to that. Germany cannot say to the
United States. as it is reported to have
said to Switzerland, TO keep hands off

Des Moines' Lack Of Appreciation.

1
Cedar Rapids Republican: Our
| military" plight is pitiful: it is al
most to laugh. When we read of the
way things are done in Europe. we
can also read of how they are not
done In this country. We have a
little camp near Des Moines. called
Camp Dodge. Four or five thousand
men are in that camp. They are near
large city and on paved road. but
we are told that they cannot even
get their mails promptly. Fifteen
sacks of mail remained IN the Des
Mo1nes postoffice, waiting for a truck
to haul it out to the camp, ten miles.
or less away. The mail laid there
for two days, mind that. In the
esteemed Des Moines Capital we read
the following further particulars:
General Allen appealed for truck
to Des Moines people through the
Des Moines papers. Several trucks
were promised, but none came. So
the general wired to surrounding
towns and told them Of his predica-
ment. About 5000 has been contrib
uted for the purchase Of a truck and
not one cent of it has come from Des
Moines. Is there a patriotic citizen
in Des Moines who will loan . truck
to the Iowa national guardsmen dur
ing the encampment. or for airy
period at all? Is it necessary for
people outside OF Des Moines to raise
money to buy truck?"
We are not surprised that the Capt.
tai is chagrined, the editor of that
paper made the boys a patriotic
speech the other day. They like
speeches, but they like service still
more. The editor supplied them with
eloquence, why doesn't some other
patriotic man supply them with
truck?
We want to make no invidious conc

spoiIino the Sport Game.

Omaha Bee: When 1000 or more
people pay good money to see some
thing held out to them rs 'the ath-
letic event of the century" feelings
of disgust and resentment are natural
when the wonderful "event" turns out
to be tedious posing exhibition, not
even good fodder" for the movies.
Whose fault it is that the Fourth
OF July wrestling match Between the
Peerless Joe Stecher and Ed (Strang-
'ler) Lewis, the pride Of Kentucky,
Wisconsin, Iowa and few other
bailiwicks' turned out to be such
pitiful farce it is not up tic US to say.
The shame of It is the misrepre-
sentation from which Omaha in par
ticular, and legitimate sports In gen.
eral, are made to suffer. The same
publicity advance agent, just quoted,
after reciting the names of all the
worlds great wrestling luminaries,
gave us this dazzling pen picture:
And yet; even they never gave us
2 battle which for nerve and verve,
for wild, tremendous thrills and heart
humping excitement, could hold a
candle to what the peerless boy in
overalls from our own little city OF
Dodge and Ed (Strangler) Lewis. the
lumberjack Colossus from Washing
ton are going to show us on July 4.
care they not the worlds two ath-
letic exemplars; two men absolutely
physically perfect? Well, then, is
there any mystery why YOU should
Lold your breath and stare? Is 1t
any wise dumfounding that the two
miracle men, Stecher and Lewis, who
are to struggle to finish. have
aroused the curiosity of The world?"
Let anyone who wasted irrecovable
time on the glorious Fourth in
"watchful waiting" contrast this with
the reality.
The bane of professional sports Is
the money prize. 1t is most fnsidious
when the contestants are to divide a
bullying pot regardless of whether
they win or lose or whether they put
up an on-the-square match or not.
The only question is how often can
they get away with it.

Sometime we will go, we say,

Hopeful that some happy day

Someone's way that's dark instead,
Some kind word to help the weak

Sometime we will do, we say,
Something we have left undone-
Small, obscure in its way,
Save to some poor toiling one;
This we promise, fair and true,

Summer is Hca!thfuI.

Kansas City Star: Hot weather
has a habit Of forcing itself on peo-
pies attention in disagreeable way.
There is no escaping it. When the
thermometer registers above 80 every
body knows it is hot.
But there is this comfort: The
trouble from hot weather is mostly
mere annoyance. There is less sick
ness in hot weather than in cold.
Winter is the time Of epidemics. In
the summer people live out Of doors.
They have plenty of fresh air, and
they keep well. Even babies flourish
in the heat If proper attention Is CIV
en- their food. 1t isn't pleasant to
swelter. But IL isn't dangerous. And
consider the splendid compensations
of the outdoor life!
