WANT MEN FOR COMPANY.
Capt. E. W. Gibson Appeals for En-.
hstments in First Vermont Regiment

Editor of The Reformcr:-
1t is expected that the station of the
First Vermont Infantry will soon be
changed from Westfeld. Newspapers
claim the change will be made by Nov.
II. Therefore the last opportunity for
voluntary enlistment with Company |
is at hand. There are hundreds of
young men of military age in your To-
cality. They will surely be required for
service. They can hardly hope to es-
cape future draft.
1t would be fine example of patri
otism to fill the company immediately
with voluntary enlistments. The hearty
cooperation of all citizens is invited
that this result may obtain.
We have been getting some recruits
so that the strength of the company
now is about A.. Most Of these have
come from Bennington, which boasts OF
$40 men in the service, with no military
organization at that.
Sergeant Goodwin will be at the boart
of trade rooms afternoons and evenings
| to give such information as may be
needed. MAY we expect an immediate
response to this appeal?
Very truly,
Z. ". GIBSON.

ing Tor his general subject the food situa-

BY way Of introduction he reviewed
conditions among the allies and related
circumstance. which forced them to the
point OF dire need. drawing the inference
that it is the duty OF the United States
and Canada to furnish food ior the fight
ing forces He then quoted statistics
which show how greatly the supplies OF
grain, cattle, sheep and hogs, sugar, etc,
has been diminished and called attention
forcefully to the fact that this country
has not the necessary millions OF bushels
Of grain to ship and the only way require
mcnts of the countries across the seas can
be supplied is by not eating what We
have, because it would be impossible t.
cat and ship too.

not mean that We have to cut il out en-
