John Burroughs on President Wilson.


There seems 10 be a disposition on
tho part OF many we'll informed per-
sons, more especially among republi-
cans to discount President Wilson
as a mere rhotorician and TO aver
with special emphasis that it is not
words that count in these times, but
deeds Let me lay equal emphasis
on the fact that with a man in the
presidents position it is words that
count The most and not deeds. His
sphere Of positive action is very lin
tied, but he is the spokesman of q
great people and of i great cause and
his words should, and do, carry
around the world.
They are great words, inspiring
words, and they will help win the
war in a way and to an extent that
any mere deed of his could not.
There are paragraphs in his last
message to congress that are to the
allies worth whole armies They
hearten and unite all lovers of liber-
ty and just dealing. They brand the
foe as with red hot iron: they stir
and swell the hearts of true patriots
throughout the land. and have no
doubt will stimulate enlisting like an
army with banners.

A SOLDIERS LETTER
Private William Jepson Says There's
Too Much Water in France.

w "A|Ii w dASi lll '
His mother has received an inter.
esting letter from Private William
Jepson of the 1881 infantry now in
France. Jepson writes that the trip
across the Atlantic was long enough
for him. At the time the letter was
written, on November 81. it was rain
ing but the weather was warm like
spring
The country, Jepson writes, is not
much different from the United Stat
es. The farmers grow turnips, sugar
beets, cabbage and much hay. The
land is not good for potatoes as IL is
too wet The trees are mostly white
birches and the houses and barns are
built OF stone Some of the houses
have only two windows and are heat
ed with tireplaces instead of stoves.
The teaming is done with an OK and
a horse hitched one ahead of the
other and the driver walks beside his
team. The women, he says. do all
the work about the barns. The writ
er wishes to be remembered to all his
Bennington friends.

CALEDONIA DIVIDEND.
Regular Monthly Disbursement to Be
Made on December S.

Announcement has been made of
the regular monthly dividend of 3
cents per share by the Caledonia Min
ing company. The payment will
amount to .$7S,15O and will bring the
total payments for the current year up
to $S59,650. The earnings for october
are not given. 1t has long been known
that the future of the mine depended
on finding the ore shoot on the Keat-
ing level, and as this has not been
found, /! Is believed that the resources
of the mine are nearing exhaustion
The company has a surplus in the
treasury of about 100000, and it is
expected that this will eventually be
distributed among the stockholders II
there is anything left after paying the
excess profits tax. Just how the law
will be construed is still in doubt
but it Is presumed that it will make g
liberal allowance to Caledonia on ac.
count of exhaustion Of resources.

RED CROSS NEEDS MONEY
BUY TICKET TO ELK BALL

At a recent meeting of Wallace
Lodge, No 331, b. P. o. Esks, it
was decided to give big charity
ball on, Wednesday evening De-
cember II for the benefit of the
Red Cross local chapter, instead of
the annual dance which has been
customary in the past.
Committees have been named
and all of the preliminary arrange
ments have been completed. How
arth hall has been donated for the
occasion and it is expected that
the affair will prove to be the big
gest event of the season.
The public, irrespective of whe-
ther they are Elks or not, are in
Vited to cooperate to the end that
the financial effect will be all that
can be asked.
The Elks want it understood
that the affair is to be strictly in
formal also that every stranger
will be looked after and made ac-
quainted.
Tickets are being placed on sale
tomorrow at several of the stores
and can be purchased from any Elk
and also at the Red Cross head
quarters.

USE RED CROSS SEALS;
YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY

In arranging the campaign for
the sale of Red Cross Seals for
1917, Mrs. Harry Allen has again
been asked to serve as local chair
man.
The buying and using of Red
Cross seals is certainly an easy
way to do our patriotic duty. The
work can be assisted by every
man, woman and child. This is
war work, for special funds will
be used to protect or relieve. the
soldiers and sailors returning from
the war with tuberculosis in our
own state. Let us be prepared to
help and not be as poor France is
with 65 per cent of her soldiers in
desperate stages of this dread dis
ease.
The Red Cross is having 1000
600 seals printed this year and we
must sell them to raise money for
the lighting of tuberculosis in the
army.
These seals can be bought in
most any of our local stores and
the postoffice at one cent each.
Take your change in Red Cross
seals. Use them on your letters,
Christmas gifts, bills, prescrip-
tions, checks, merchandise, milk
bottles, etc. Red Cross seals will
make everything more cheerful

OLD VETERAN.

The shoot of copper ore which has
been the feature of the Old Veteran
drift for 100 feet or more still con-
tinues. The drift is now following the
foot wall, and the face is nearing a
point corresponding to the place In the
tunnel above where the formation
changed from Revett to Burke quartz
ite, when it is believed lead will make
its appearance. The management Is
very sanguine that this will be the
case. Winter supplies were taken up
last week, including provisions for
the boarding house, powder, rails and
air pipe. The company Is now In good
shape to continue work until spring,
and the outlook for developing COM
mercial ore before that time is re-
garded as exceedingly favorable.
