VERMONT NOTES

The credits given Vermont for men
sent to Camp Devens under the draft
show that 500 men have been accented
by the army surgeons out Of the 1913
who were sent to the camp. Eighty
four men have either been discharged
or are being held for further examin-
alton.
On the Randolph road, so-called,
out of Morrisville, every farmer sub
scribed for Liberty bond and in
many instances each member of the
family subscribed. The high school
took $3.50, the grades 500 and the 16
members Of the faculty $50 or more
each. The Congregational Sunday
school also bought a $50 bond.
Prof. Samuel F. Emerson of the
University of Vermont, chairman of
the state library commission, and who
has in charge the campaign to raise
Vermont's share of the one million
dollars to buy books for our soldiers
and sailors, recently sent check for
$9,04753 to the national commission
at Washington, D. c. This amount
does not represent, however, the full
amount which Vermont has subscrib-
ed. Many OF the towns in the state
nave sent Cl6lE Iu1uo GiL6CI 20 w assn

understanding about this matter.
Professor Emerson has received word
from the national commission which

Inc Answer Is Found in the State
ment OF Barton Resident.
From week to week, from year to
year, there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
nelghbors, which we have all read
with great interest, and many of us
with great profit. But what we want
to know is, do they stand the greatest
test of all-tne test of time? Here
is conclusive evidence on this point
from Barton man:
H. A. Folsom, prop. butcher shop,
Glover street, Barton, gave the fol
lowing statement on June 5, 1911.
He said: II am subject to lame and
aching back and my kidneys do not
act as they should at times. Doan's
Kidney Pills have given me good re
lief and | do not hesitate to recon-
mend them"
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
On October 8, 1916, Mr.. Folsom
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
Of kidney trouble and backache and
I have had no return Of my former
trouble. ! am glad to again endorse
this reliable medicine"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Mr.. Folsom has twice publicly recon-
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props,

The double vote offer came to
close on Friday, as advertised, and
the race for the Studebaker car con-

several in the race so close that one

difference.
The active workers are developing
into expert subscription solicitors,
and they find that subscriptions in
this contest are very easy to secure !;
ali you have to do is simply to call
on the people and tell them about the
saving of 25 or so cents per year
and they are only too glad to accept
your proposition.

Doings at the Capital.

The following from the Cove Coun-
ty Advocate of February p, we
quote by request of Representative
John R. Chittenden:
The Legislature worked hard last
week and passed a few bills, incident
ly killing about ninety per cent that
are thrown into the hopper.
1t Is amusing to read some of the
bills that are introduced, many of
them of no merit, and others con-
tanning sections that would, unknown
to the orginators, revolutionize the
''statue book"
The most of the freak bills are
not the work of the legislators, but
are gotten up by their constituents,
who have no idea as to the results
they would produce.
We used to have a hasy notion IN
common with others, that all the
members of the Legislature did, was,
to sit in session a few hours each
day, then adjourn and spend the day
having good time, by way of bill
lizards, pool and shows. But we have
gotten bravely over that. We can
safely say that there is no set of men,
taking them on the whole, that works
harder, putting in more hours then
the Legislature of 1917.
They put in from twelve to sixteen
hours each day, either in session OF
IN the committee room. These same
committees often work till twelve
and two o'clock at night, threshing
out the bills that are referred to them
and whipping them into shape so they
will stand the test of the constitution
and meeting again at 7:30 in the
morning, in order that they may re-
port these same bills to the "House"
and have them ready to go on, what is
known as general ordefsg And for
all this they are paid the munifcent
sum of $50 for the session which
always takes more than two months.
And what IS more, these men work
hard and conscientiOusly for the mas
ses. 1t is true that sometimes there are
meaures, that creep through, in spite
OF all precautions, that are detrimSn en-
tai to the interests of the people at
large but they are exceptions and not
the rule.
Another thing, these men are often
hampered IN their movements by the
pressure that is brought to bear on
them by their constituents.
Take for instance the ''Bone Dry
Bill" 1t is ten to one that this bill
will be declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme court if it becomes a
law as II now SIandS,anQ many OF Cne
members believed this but if they
had modified it, as some of them
tried to do, the masses would have
declared that they were bought by
the brewers and distillers. AS it is
If this bill becomes a law and then
is declared unconstitutional the
radical prohibitionists will have de-
feated the very purpose, for which
this bill was framed, for at least two
years.
As we said at the beginning of this
article the Legislature is working
hard but it is very doubtful if they
get through in fifty days.
