Harris Has Done Good
Work.

Three hundred and fifty-one men have
been enlisted through the navy recruit
ing station in the Vermont district since
the United States has been at war. The
district comprises the State of Vermont
and the counties of Clinton, Essex and
Franklin in New York State.
Charles A. Harris, ensign, United States
navy. retired, is the officer in charge of
the district, and his headquarters are in
the postof1ice building in this city. The
sub-stations are in Montpelier. Rutland
and Plattsburgh. Mr.. Harris has been
ceaseless in his endeavors to see that
recruiting Is carried out on large scale.
and that his endeavors have been success
full is amply testified to by the fact that
26 from outside districts besides the 351
from his own district have been enlisted.
That great many towns are not rep
resented in the list printed below is to
be regretted as every place in the dis
trict should have representative. The
President has called all hands" to aid
the navy recruiting force in this time of
trouble, and it goes without saying that
the business men of each town or hamlet
should do all in their power to have at
least one representative in the navy
