1t is to be hoped that the optimism ex,
pressed by President Benton of the Uni.
yersity of Vermont concerning the posi-
bility of meeting the condition of Gen
Rush G. Hawkins gift of 100000 to the
university is well founded, the condition
being that double that amount be raised
from other sources The sum of 100000,
ii placed in the permanent endowment,
would go far toward wiping out the an
nual deficits of the institution through
the application of the interest," but if
the amount should be devoted to CON
struction work, one or more handsome
buildings might be erected to add to the
already imposing group of buildings on
the campus. The university needs the
money very much both for increasing its
income and for adding needed buildings;
and there would be no slight satisfaction
in being able TO claim the whole 5000 1000
within reasonable period.

A 6lundsr That Has Brought Many .

Family to Grief.
| In the American Magazine a writer
says:
"A man engaged In business In one
of the trades or professions is strong
and healthy, and his earnings are ade-
quate to meet the needs of himself and
family and lay little by to combat the
proverbial rainy day.
In trying to make q good appear
ance among his friends be lives up to
his income, sells the birthright Of his
family for mess Of pottage In order
to crafty his vanity or procrastinating
habits He Is strong. and the future
seems long way off.
Eventually on account of accident
or disease he leaves the scene of action.
and his wife and number of small
children must face the gloomy days of
the future unassisted by a bank &C
count or life insurance policy simply
because he failed to look ahead.
Another man has mortgage upon
his property. and he soliloquizes in this
manner: 4 shall meet the interest and
next year begin paying off the mort
gage The years pass. the mortgage is
foreclosed, and he realizes when too
late that he failed to look ahead.
Still another man lived upon the
principal of his physical bank account.
He failed to bank energy and conserve
health in the form Of proper physical
exercise and careful hygienic living.

CURRENT COMMENT
Fall of Monastir.

When the history Of the Monastir cam
paign comes to be written, it is to be
hoped justice will be done to comman-
der who has triumphed over difficulties
such as few generals have been able to
overcome.
Someone-was it Won Hindenburg-
called Sarrail political general. He
was, however, military enough to hold
| Verdun during one crisis. How he baf-
| fled the kaiser's heir in the battle of the
Marine is a story in itself
But a political general was needed at
Salonica, and Joffre, who knows men,
sent Sarrail. Military science construct
ed an impregnable base; political or di-
plomatic skill dealt with an internal sit
Iuation more dangerous than the cannon
of the enemy.
At the outset of hostilities on the
Macedonian front it went hard with the
allies, and the Serbian division of the
heterogeneous line staggered under blows
delivered by an enemy more numerous
and better muntioned. At the end of
August the Serbians had been thrown
back on Lake Ostrovo and the Bulga-
rians had entered Florina. If they were
not checked, they would march through
Thessaly for a flank attack on Salonica.
Then Sarrail acted. He organized an
army, one half of which took the road
due north from Kozani, and REINFORCED
the Serbians, while the other half
marched around by Kastoria, through
the hills west of Florina, and took the
Bulgarans in flank. The Bulgarian re-
treat from Florina and the Serbian prog
ress to the Cerna followed, The Bulga-
rians occupied line so fortified as to be
believed impregnable, running from be-
fore Kenali to the banks of the Cerna.
The Serbian passage of the Cerna turned
this line, and as the Serbs marched along
the Cerna, the Bulgarians were forced to
fall back, with the French constantly in
pursuit. And so Monastir was captured.
The capture of the place gives the al
lies a point of support for an advance
on the Vardar positions The first OBJ
stacle is the Ba buna pass, which the Bull
garians turned in their advance on Mon
astir Can they hold it now Boston

Oysters Again.

Oyster Omelet-Chop very fine II large
oysters, or double that number of small
ones. Beat the yolks and whites of six
eggs separately, as for nice cake-the
whites until they stand in heap. Put
three tablespoons of butter in frying

omelet. Stir one cup of milk into a deep
dish with the yolks and season with salt,
pepper and chopped oysters, beating Wig
orously as you add them gradually.
When they are thoroughly incorporated

Although it has been two weeks since
election and it is generally conceded that
Wilson was elected president, the Demo-
Gratis of Vermont are strangely quiescent
RS regards celebration of the event Such
great victory as was won in the nation
at large surely is worthy of jollifcation
albeit the Democrats of Vermont did
not contribute the states four votes to
the Wilson column. There hasn't been
such a dull post-election season in this
state for long, long time.

indianapolis, Nov. 2l.--The National
Women's Christian Temperance union in
annual session here yesterday adopted
a resolution commencing the $50 daily
newspapers and 6S magazines in the
country known to refuse liquor adver-
tisements. The delegates pledged them
selves and each member of the organi-
cation TO use her influence in every way
possible in their respective communities
to get newspapers now carrying such adj
vertising matter to drop it at the ex-
piration of present contracts.
Other resolutions adopted included
one which said the organization believed
in equal political rights for men and
women, and that the ballot in the hands
OF women is weapon for the destruc-
ton Of the liquor traffic The union also
went on record as favoring living wages
and equal pay for equal services, and as
believing in justice as opposed to COM
mercial greed. A pledge was given TO
continue the fight for constitutional pro-
hibtion, both state and national.

CONGRATULATIONS NOW
FROM THE PRESIDENT

B. P. Buchanan, of Americas, won
the Shorthorn bull of the Central of
Georgia railway in the Four-Crip club
contest in Sumter county. Many friends
have already congratulated him, and
now comes President w. A. Winburn,
of the Central of Georgia railway, who
sends Buchanan the following let
ter:
I'VE have formal advice from Mr.. j.
K. Giles, state agent in Boys club
work. that you are the winner of the
Shorthorn bull offered by this COM
pany as prize for Four-Crop club con-
test in Sumter county, and desire to
congratulate you, not only upon hav-
ing won this valuable prize, but upon
your energy and ability as a farmer,
which is proven by the fact that you
made greater net profit from your one
acre in corn, one acre in cotton and
one acre in winter oats, followed by
hay, than any other boy who entered
the Four-Crop contest in your county.
For the Central of Georgia Rail-
way Company, / take pleasure in ad-
vising that we are glad to give you
this bull as a reward for your efforts,
and trust you may be able to make
good use of him, and that as q result
of your ownership of the bull you
may become as successful in stock
raising as you have proven yourself to
be in crop growing.
I'VE note as result of giving bulls
as prizes in former years, an active
interest is being taken in the raising
of better cattle in most of the counties
where the Four-Crop winners received
bulls. and we trust such may be the
case in your community. Mr.. J. F..
Jackson, our agricultural agent, will
arrange to have the bull delivered to
you ar early as it is possible to do so,
and will write you concerning the
matter"
