c. A. Maurer and Mrs. Maurer while
passing over Pine tree hill in Pownal
early Thursday evening in their auto
mobile were the victims of a slight
accident, Fortunately neither the
occupants or the car sustained any in
jury. The slipping of the brake caus
ed the car to leave the road and run
into wire fence. The car was run
ming slowly and the wire fence held it
up so that it did not overturn. The car
was pulled back into the road by

The state of Vermont was asked to
furnish 400 recruits for the navy and
up to date, has only produced 2S7 leav-
ing a shortage of 113 men. Chief
White is here trying to get few more
to enlist now before the draft, for a
man waiting to be drafted has no
choice as to what branch of the serv-
/ ice he shall enter 1t is not necessary
to go into detail about the numerous
advantages offered young man in the
navy. but the recruiting officer has
some very interesting facts and figures
that he would gladly show any young
man from Bennington and vicinity,
who is interested in his country's vel.
fare We might state that the lowest
pay in the navy is $3.50 per month
with maintenance. Vermont state is far
Their from reaching their quota than
| any other state in the union, and that
does not speak very well for this state,
considering the way they turned out
| men for the Civil war.
