The Editor,
The Barre Times,
Barre, Vt.
Dear Sir:
This evening | was handed the sum of
five dollars from an unknown party, with
the request that it be used to take pic
ture of the men in the Headquarters
company This was all the information [
was given, and | concluded that the idea
of the donor was to have picture taken
that would be suitable for framing-a
picture that could be hung in the armory
of the Headquarters company now that
its home station is in Barre. Rather than
have the men taken in their present nom
descript uniforms. I will wait until the
organization is fully equipped and uni
formed at the fort, when | will see to il
that picture is taken, framed, and sent
to Barre, where it can be exhibited and
later placed in the armory. in view of
the fact that the absence of photog-
rapher might not be understood to-mor-
row when the company leaves, | wish
to take this method of both explaining
the matter TO the unknown donor and
thanking him for his gift
Very truly yours,
Gustaf A. Nelson.
lst Sergeant. Headquarters Co, N G. Vt.

r. Building in France.

Washington, July 27.-An offer by
Major General Goethals to do active
service for his country is being con-
sidered by the war department.
You may be assured of my loyal
acquiescence in all future orders"
Goethals has written the president.
But no decision has yet been reach

it, to all inquiries on the subject to-
day.
Goehtals always has been associated
with the engineering branch of the
army.
When the United States entered the
war against Germany, he together
with other retired officers, offered to
return to the active list. That offer,
now that he is out of the shipbuilding
work, is still before the war depart
ment officials.
In view of his engineering exper-
fence, it Is reported, without official
confirmation, however. that he may
direct the great railway problems
facing the allied officers in France.

FARMERS HOLD WHEAT
Many in Pratt County Have Stored
Their New Crop.

Pratt, Kan, July 27.-That Pratt
county farmers are not suffering
financially and in need of ready cash
has been fully demonstrated here
One day the Farmers Elevator re-
ceived 5000 bushels of wheat but pur-
chased only thirty-one bushels during
the day, the rest being stored for
higher prices. 1t was believed that
most of the early wheat received
would be sold but the grain dealers
are greatly surprised at the actions
of the farmers.
d. F. Collingwood of Pretty Prairie
was here to buy six car loads of Pratt
county wheat for seed upon his large
ranch near Meade, Kan. He says
that he will sow a larger acreage this
year than ever before even if the seed
wheat does soar in price. He is prepar-
ing to place his entire land holdings
into wheat.
1t is believed that Pratt county will
raise bumper corn crop as conditions
are now encouraging.

should have been given to therublic in order
that opinion could be based oR actual facts
and that the slight punishment awarded in
this instance would not be taken as a prece-
dent by negro troops in the future.
The war department, in acting upon the
protests against mobilization of negro troops
in the south, has decided to apportion the
negroes to all the camps. We do not see
that any other course was possible and
believe that in the long run the policy Of
separating them will work out better than
concentrating them at any given point.

The intense concern heretofore felt by
the PUBLIC in regard to the moving of our
troops has been ,aHayed.'F The n. H. & Il.
RailroadI has consigned to this patriotic
service be engine a baggage car, and twd
coaches.t,.
ThS%magnanimous sacrifice paralyzes
the local passenger traffic, but the people
should submit calmly 70 any policy of this
road that indicates change toward public
spiritedness.
The use of this equipment will add to
the morale of the new soldier for we are
convinced that one trip in this outfit will
make them want to fight Garma or any,
thing else.
And, further, it will be step in the
direction of that rigorous training which the
government applies to test its soldiers
powers of endurance.
Now if we could only delegate our rail-
road commissioner to be train-master we
could repese in the assurance that none of
our boys would ever get anywhere in time
for actual service.
We suggest that the four days schedule
from Fort Allen to Little Rock could be
ornanented with the legend "We strive to
please" !.

GEORGIA GLEE AND MANDo-
LIN CLUB NEXT THURSDAY

One OF the best attractions of the
year will be seen at the Grand Thurs
day evening, March p, when the Uni
versity of Georgia Giee and Mando-
lin Club appears. The Club has for
years had the reputation of being the
best in the South, and this is said to
be one of its best years. Its annual
tour takes in Atlanta, Macon, Savan-
nah, and other cities of the state, but
Fitzgerald has never before been able
to secure it.
Fifty men compose the troup Civ
ing a great variety of attraction that
cannot be equalled except by the very
highest class of minstrel. The first
act is minstrel setting worked out
in elaborate fashion, while the last is
preparedness. program. This scene
is laid on the border and brings in
all the color of the times Between
the two is line of specialtes that
makes the Club famous. Here are
the comedy sketches, Mandolin
Quintette, Solos, and the famous
Georgia Four
Those who last fan saw the Uni
versity's production, "A Pair of
Skies" need not be told the quality
of work to expect. This time there
will be fifty characters instead of half
dozen. 1t is hard to realize that
boys can produce a show that is rec
ognized as this one is, but anyone
who has ever seen it will not wonder
The fact that it plays the best houses
of Macon, Savannah, and Atlanta,
insures quality. You will do mighty
