CHILD DIED SUDDENLY
Oldest Son of Mr.. and Mrs Arthur n.
Cushman.

The people of North Bennington
were shocked and saddened Tuesday
afternoon upon learning of the great
loss sustained by Mr.. and Mrs. A. H.
Cushman, in the death of their eldest
son, Westervet Thatcher Cushman
Those who attended the Children's
Day exercises at the Congregational
church last Sunday morning and heard
the little lad as he so manfully took
his part in the exercise obey" little
thought that in few short hours, as
it were, he would be called upon to
obey the Masters summons and leave
his earthly tasks, ere they were
scarcely begun, but his brief alarming
illness resulting in septicema com
plicated with septic infection of the
linging Of the heart, detied the skill of
the best medical advice available in
Bennington and nearby cities, and
the little life was ended in spite of all
that loving hands could do.
Westeryelt was an unusual child,
kind and thoughtful beyond his years.
These lovable qualities attracted to
him a large circle Of friends for one
so young, and he will be missed not
only in the home, but elsewhere, es-
pecially in the White Co.'S shops,
where it was his custom to go about
among the workmen, always interested
in their tasks. yet never exceeding his
privileges, little gentleman to all.
He celebrated his ninth birthday on
Dec. S0th and is survived by younger
brother and sister.
The funeral services, which will be
for the family and immediate friends,
will be held Thursday after
noon at o'clock, from the residence
of H. c. White Interment will be in
Grand View cemetery.
The boy was a grandson of Mr. and
Mrs. Fl. T. Cushman and of Mr. and
Mrs. II. c. White.

FOR BENNINGTON COUNTY
DEVELOPE EMENT AND
BETTERMENT
This Department Edited by Secretary
Willard w. Bartlett Of the County
Improvement Association
Why Young Men Leave Bennington
County.

The question of why so many OF our
brightest young men leave Vermont
and help to build up the prosperity of
Boston, New York and the west, is a
vital one. No one reason will explain
it, but the huge amounts in Vermont
Savings Banks are contributing
cause.
Vermont boasts of her thrift, but
there is such a thing as thrift gone to
seed. The farmer who dotes on the
money he is accumulating in the say
ings bank while his buildings 90 to
pieces and his farm runs out because
of lack of fertilizer; the business man
who accumulates his money at inter
est when it might be developing his
community and paying him 10 per cent
instead of per cent and the man who
puts his gold in a bag in the wall are
in the same class. Money invested in
keeping up farm, in purchasing first
class stock, in fertilizer, will pay far
more than per cent
Vermont is loaning a great deal of
her money at a low rate of interest to
Kansas and the rest. The westerners
take the Vermonters money, add their
brains. develop their country and
become wealthy. But they take more
than the money from Vermont, they
take the young men. Money in a saw
ings bank creates no opportunities for
young men in Vermont. But the same
money used in the west in deVelOD-
ment, creates opportunities. Resllt
few opportunities for young men in
Vermont, many in the west.
We cannot expect our best young
men to remain in Vermont until we
say to the westerners, to the outsiders,
I'VE have just as many brains as you,
We can use our own money to develop
our own state just as wisely as you
can use our money to develop your
state, and We intend to have all of the
profits ourselves.

FUNSTON HURRY
CALL FOR AID IS
D|SQU|ET|NG
Need Of More Troops Is an Indi
cation of Danger
REINFORCEMENTSION THE ROAD
Carranza's Total Army Said to Be
100000 Facing Funstons Less
Than 10000

Columbus, n. NJ, June 20.-Carranza
troops and soldiers of General Perish
ing's expeditionary command south of
Namiquiqa are on the verge of hostili
ties, according to reports from the
field tonight
A wireless dispatch from Colonel D.
c. Cabell, General Pershings chief of
staff, said that the attitude of the Car
rama soldiers was such that Ameri
can motor truck supply trains are in
DANCE.
The Mexicans are said to have
mounted artillery in positions menac-
ing the Americans, and dispatches in
dicated that with the two commands
in close proximity the danger of a
clash is increasing.
San Antonio, Tex, June 20,-Facing
Carranza's army in Northern Mexico
there will be stationed along the Rio
Grande within a week or ten days, an
American force that will total almost
10000 1t was stated today.
General Frederick Funston has re-
quested the war department to send
him large part of the national guards
men as quickly as possible, and ad-
vices received late today indicated
that entraining of the first troops
would begin tomorrow.
AS fast as they arrive in the south
they will be sent to the stations
chosen. A strong reserve will be
brought to San Antonio and held here
as a reesrve, but many will be within
sight of Mexico when they get off the
trains.
General Funston did not announce
how many men he has asked, nor the
stations to which they will be sent, but
it is known he expects more than a
division and it was said not less than
2S,000 men would be sent at once.
Already the border army, made up
of regular troops and the militiamen
Of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona,
comprises more than 10000
General Funstons request for the
guardsmen was for "a number sufIici-
ent to give adequate protection to the
border
Reports believed to be reliable
| reached here today that ]. r. Silliman
American consul at Saltillo, was on
| his way to the border.
The best estimates obtainabe, indi
cate that Carranza's army on the Dor
der now is about 100000.
