FOR BENEFITS RECEIVED

The Congress of the United States
has declared itself overwhelmingly in
favor of war. The question before the
people of the country today is no long
er whether or not they are in favor Of
war; it is whether or not they viz
recognize the fact the country is now
in war Now that we are in war
somebody must wage it. The presi'
dent has called for 100000 volunteers
and there is every reason to expect
that this is only small part Of
the number that may be required at
a later date.
During the Civil War, Vermont had
the greatest number OF soldiers pro-
portionally to her size of any state in
the Union furnishing 10000 men be
fore measures Of compulsion had been
taken. Vermont troops played an ac-
tyei partm most of the important en-
gagements of the war and every where
won praise and glory for their spirit
and patriotism. The time has come
again when Vermont must once more
help bear the burden which is upon
the nation 1t is not sufficient that we
stay, comfortably at home and hold
down the reputation that ON fore
fathers earned for us.
The duty of waging war falls upon
the young men of the country. 1t is
they who are called when the war
clouds first gather The enlistments
thus far in this state and particularly
in Bennington have been dishearten-
ing to both those in charge Of the
work and those who feel that Vermont
is stin filed with the same kind Of
patriotism that gave $4,000 men at
the outbreak of the CiYil War. No
one. is asked to so to war because he
Will be paid for it. No one is asked 10
enlist because he is going 10 get
something but Of It. War is duty
wbich the individual owes in return
fot the protection which thee flag Of
his country offers him. Selirsacriices.
privationg, and hardsiilpsH are the
wages, the only refhuneratioh is the
sense Of a duty faithfully performed
and the knowledge that when called
upon the country did no5 call in
vain.

INFIRST STAND
ON MOVING HERD

With hearing on the Injunction
brought by the Schuman Carriage
Co. to be held next Saturday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, DR.. Victor A. Nor
gard, territorial veterinarian, Is
standing firmly by his first ceclara'
ton that once the herd Of T. F. Farm
Is moved from its present location in
the anthrax infected dairy no more
"aSes Of the disease will occur.
Arthur G. Smith, acting attorney
general, will represent the board Of
Agriculture in the suit wherein the
rarr!age Company has Sought to re-
strain that body from moving the
arm herd to the quarantine station
Nosaard declared today th;:t the
ground is SO heavily infected with
anthrax in the dairy that if 100 COWS
not immuneized were placed there
half of them would be dead in a few
days.
The infections start IN most cases
from algarOBa thorn wounds, he be-
ileVes, as marks of these briars which
Sre thick In the place have frequently
been found on the infected cows in
portions where the disease seemed
70 be prevalent
The deaths of these COWS that
nave been immuntzed are not re-
markable," he adds. The same thing
would occur If smallpox were injec-
ted into the blood of a vaccinated
person, he would take me disease.
The wonder Of 1t Is that more of the
cows have not died thus far"
The doctors experience with an
thrax dates back for many years. In
1898 the federal government sent him
from Washington to Illinois to in
yestigate an outbreak which was kill
ing cattle by the hundreds. His de-
tailed report Of that date is contained
in the report Of the federal bureau OF
animal industry, along with history
of the campaign which finally checked
the disease.

LIS news is contained in a letter
recently received from young Cooke
by his parents, and refutes con-

boys who Joined the Ambulance corrs
did so to get into war work which
would place them in the least DANCE.
Cookies letter says that he and
many other students of the Yale unit,
who, when they reached France and
found there we're no ambulances
ready for them to drive, joined the mu-
nitions transport service. Their work
is driving trucks laden with munitions
from the supply depots at the end OF
the railway line up to the actual firing
line. The boys went through a pre-
liminary period of training for the
new work and are at it today, for the
honor Of France and the United

MOUNT OF PAU RIDER
DEPICTED IN POSTER
AS BUCKING "BRONCHO''

Two designs for the poster for the
next Mid-Pacific Carnival are on ex.
hibition in one of the show windows
of w. W. Dimond & Co. They were
submitted by R. ]. Blake, local rep
resentative of the Schmidt Lithograph
Co. of San Francisco.
Both designs are in line with a sug-
gestion made to the artist in San
Francisco that they be centered on
the Hawaiian pau rider. They both
show a pau rider in brilliant colors,
and have an appropriate background
Of Diamond Head and palm trees in
one case, and of rainbow and appro-
pirate scenery in the other.
That the artist has never been to
the islands and does not know the
pau rider is indicated in the manner
in which he portrays the horse upon
which the rider is mounted. He was
evidently not satisfied with the life.
less appearance of the pau rider as
seen on the ordinary post card, so he
gave the horse the animation of a
western broncho, which is quite unlike
the spirited yet gentle horse of the
pau rider.
