PORTIONMENT FOR NASHVILLE

To provide food, clothing and other
necessities OF life during the winter
months for 2,l4O0OO destitute survi-
yors --latest reports indicate more
nearly s,0OO.O0O) In western Asia re-
quires a minimum total Of $3O,000,0 900.
or this amount the carefully comput-
cd proportionate share that normally
should be contributed from this city
Is $3.50.
The above apportionment may seem
large. But should every city and
town in the United States contribute
full share as suggested the total
would give to each dependent man,
woman and child a pittance Of less
than eight cents per day to meet the
winters needs at famine prices. Ev-
cry dollar lacking means untold suf-
fering and possible death which 1t Is
within our power to prevent.

UGLY POINTS MAY BE HIDDEN
Permanent Fixtures, Such as Fence
and Clothes Posts, Should Be
Made Things Of Beauty.

The most noticeable permanent fea-
lures Of the backyard, which is the
usual place for the city garden, are
The fence and the clothes posts. They
remain grim and uncom1romising,
while shrubs flourish ard flowers
bloom and after the leaves have with
cred and fallen.
The garden magazines advise mass
Ing Shrubs on the fences, letting vines
climb the clothes posts or stringing
wire netting for nasturtiums to climb
npon. This is well in summer, but
when the leaves have fallen and the
naked fence is again exposed the
dragging vines blow in the wind, and
netting and all fall in an uncomely
heap together unless the careful gar
dener removes them. At any rate the
fence and the posts can only be COW
cred with foliage and bloom during
short period.
The solution of the difficulty then
is TO make the fence and posts, the
ugly and permanent features, things
of beauty. A fence may be made OF
such a pattern as not to be offensive
TO the eye, and If 1t Is possible to have

The ELECTION RETURNS

The election returns from the New
York election are not surprising in
results but in the overwhelming
character of Mayor Mitchels defeat.
That he would be defeated was q
foregone conclusion but no one
dreamed that 1t would be so decisive.
Mitchell made his campaign ON the
war issue almost entirely and got
only about one vote in four of those
cast, while Morris Hillquit on an i'm
mediate peace platform polled almost
as many votes as Mitchell, and that
without the support of the voters OF
German parentage who mostly sup
ported Hylan.
1t should be borne in mind, how
ever, that the sentiment of New York
city is not the sentiment of the coun-
try. Back in Civil War days New
York city opposed the war even to
the extent of serious anti-draft riots.
The truth is that New York is so
largely a city of foreign born voters
that 1t is in class by itself.
Probably Hylan isn't so bad as he
has been painted by the big New
York newspapers and with the OPP
position divided, Tammany always
wins.

WHERE VERMONT AIDED
Prompt Action of Governor and Adiu-
tant General Gave Eoys Equipments

The state of Vermont has received
good deal of unfayorable comment
4 ecause a few men in this state have
enlisted in the regular army. The
papers which have been critizing
the state for this have taken no ac-
cunt of the large number of volun-
GERS that went into the National
Guard and from there into the army
the enlistments into the navy and
naval reserve, etc
Vermont was one of the first states
Ia the Union to appropriate mil
on dollars TO pay the volunteers
from this state $40 a month extra
(; love the federal pay and for proper
II equipping the Vermont regiment of
the National Guard. The result of
this act ~ the state legislature and
the prompt action of the governor
and adjutant general OF the state is
&iven by the Bennington Banner
which says.
1T is interesting to know that the
reason the Goth division was able to
get away to France so promptly was
tecause of its having the benefit Of
the splendid LOT OF equipment which
was taken to Westfield by Vermont
furnishing 1890 soldiers but also
provided hundred thousand dollars
worth of equipment. This was bought
d few days after war was declared
Qnd included things which were later
Just about impossible to obtain. II it
had not been for these supplies from
Vermont the Goth division would have
been delayed for weeks possibly"
Old Vermont certainly did its part
well and must be credited with un-
usual service to the National govern
ment in its hour OF nced.--St. Johns
