Editor of The Reformer.-
Whatever ''jokers'' may mean to the
uninitiated the garbled account of the
law called the PERRY Act'' is too Sc
rious misrepresentation to pass I'M
noticed, as shown by telephone con
versation this morning, as follows:
Hello! Did you read the local option
advertisement in The Reformer last
night2
Do you mean the one about More
Jokers in the Perry Act?''
Yes. You noticed, didn t you, that it
was quoted from the local option law /?
Yes, and that the local option folks
themselves called it - crazy law as
it surely is, when stated in the way
that they say Stephen Royce of st. Al
bans did in his speech.
They suppose undoubtedly that MANY
voters will not understand that the
Perry Act is no more nor less than
the present law with its local option.
high license provisions omitted and its
lprohibitory features applied to the
whole state.
That s true, and did You notice that
they said " According to the opinion
of good lawyers, the manufacture and
sale of fermented cider is permitted by
Yes, and do YOU suppose any of the
good lawyers in the Local Option
league are so blind that they cannon
see what we women can, that all this
talk about cider, and search without
warrant, and the beautiful excep-
ton is simply garbled from the 10
cal option law, which they say is the
| best liquor law Vermont has ever had
! OF course they must see it, and it is
lplain enough that the intention is to
deceive the thoughtless voter and make
him think that the Perry Act is a
new law instead of the same local op.
ton law that we have had for the past
II years.
! Well, attention ought to be called to
this fact, for many that will read and
not understand that the only differ
ence between the two laws is that ev-
/ cry town in the state must have no
saloons, the same as most of the towns
now are without saloons, and there
ought to be an explanation.
! Yes, but would The Reformer print

the letter was by Henry Shipman u

SAVING WAR JUNK.
Broken and UnserviceabIe Equipment
Saved and Made Use OF.

Broken and UnservicsabIe Equipment
| Saved and Made Use OF.
Correspondence OF Associated Press.1
On the British Front. France, April
15.--The question OF what becomes Of
the vast number Of broken implements
Of warfare, and the discarded clothing
and shoes that are commonly supposed
to strew the battleflelds where great
armies are operating, may be an
swered, SO far as the British expedi-
tionary force is concerned, by visit
to one Of the bases of the British army.
All these things, from the big gun
which has been shattered by a shell,
to the smallest part Of Tommy Atkins
personal equipment which has been
broken or lost, are gathered up and
returned to one of the bases where
they are repaired II possible. If they
cannot be mended such parts as are
intact are used in renewing other
implements or articles Of the same
kind, and in event that they are hope
lessly broken or torn they are sold as
junk. ,.
A correspondent Of the Associated
Press was permitted to visit one OF
these big repair depots. Departments
of every description were busily en-
gagged in the work Of restoration. In
one building was a pile OF upwards OF
half a million pairs Of worn boots-a
veritable mountain of muddy foot gear.
These were being disinfected. cleaned.
resoled and repaired in other ways at
the rate Of seven thousand pairs
week by large force of experts. AS
fast as they were finished they were
placed in stock ready TO go back to
the trenches when there should be
call for more boots.
In other shops parts Of broken har-
ness from the equipment of the army
horses were being repaired. saddles
were being made over, rifles were be-
ing made whole, big guns were in the
process of renewal. uniforms and
eouipments were being overhauled-
I'm fact, every conceivable sort OF thing
which finds use in the army was be-
ing renovated. All unserviceable bits or
metal were being stored to sell to
foundries and even the tattered pieces
of uniforms were being made ready Tor
the call of dealers who buy cloth OF
this description for various manufac-
turing purposes.
Much of the work in this repair
depot was being done by French girls.
altho n large force Of men was re-
uuired for the heavy work and such
duties as called for skilled labor.
An officer explained that no waste
was the motto under which the British
forces were working and declared that
the result was the saving of vast sums
Of money for the government.
