VOLUNTEER NOW,

Recruiting for the Headquarters com
pany, LIST Vermont infantry, National
Guard, is now under way at the com.
pany's headquarters in the Rowland
building, Barre, under the direction OF
Sergeant Major N. w. Hooker; and it is
hoped that the ranks of the company
win be filled completely during the re-
naming days of the present week.
Young men of eligible service years can
get ahead of the national draft, or con
scription, and choose their branch of
service now. If they would like to go
with the National Guard of Vermont
rather than with the drafted army they
have an opportunity right now to enlist
through the recruiting office in Barre. The
three divisions of the Headquarters COM
pany are the regimental band, the mount
ed orderly section and the non-commis-
stoned staff If there should be more
enlistments than are necessary to fill up
the ranks OF the Headquarters company
the recruits could be transferred TO some
other company of the National Guard.
The time to pick your branch of the serv-
ice is now, before the national draft be-
gins. Young men between the ages of
q and e. the probable limits OF the first
draft, should bestir themselves. Ser.
geant Major Hooker should be consulted
at once

they will make success of their ven

Women steady workers

It used to be said that women could
not be depended upon like men to work
steadily. and. consequently, ought not
to expect 50 much pay as men employed
at similar work
While it would be foolish for any
young woman 70 stay at work when
physically unfit. it is believed that
most women now continue at their work
as constantly a. men. ANY woman who
j. unable to DO 50. should take Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the
old reliable medicine for women, and
get the aid she needs to enable her to

Foresters and all others in Vermont
who are at all concerned in the planting
of trees are cautioned to notice the an
nouncement OF quarantine on white, or
other five-leafed pine, which has just
been promulgated by Commissioner of
Agriculture 4. S. Brigham That off
cial, taking authority from a law which
was enacted at the recent session OF the
legislature, has ordered that all impor-
tation of trees of the kind mentioned be
Immediately stopped because of the fact
that tree disease to which the white
pine is subject has been found in Yer
mont already. In order to get rid of this
tree pest the people of the state must
give their hearty cooperation to Com
missioner Brigham. Bear this in mind

trees during the coming Arbor day sea

The event at Mount Vernon, Virginia
on Sunday in which Balfour, Viviani and
Joffre paid their tribute to the memory
OF President George Washington was
such as to cement the friendship of three
of the greatest nations of the world into
an unwritten alliance, an alliance which
has for its object the freedom OF the
world. 1t was significant too, because
of the fact that two of the nations con
cerned once represented entirely differ
ent aims in government, and the younger
fought the older for that very freedom
which both now are united for The ac-
tion of Balfour in placing a wreath on
the grave of Washington marks the heal
ing of the old wound completely. The
United States, Great Britain and France
are thoroughly joined in the fight for the
advancement of civilization.

The memorial to Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of Chris
tian Science, erected in Mt. Auburn
Cemetery at Cambridge, Mass, has
been turned over to The Christian
Science Board of Directors by Ebert
S. Barlow of New York, who had
charge of its construction Over a
year and half has been required to
complete it. Christian Scientists
throughout the world have contributed,
as expressions of sentiment, the entire
cost Of over $4,000
The memorial is of Bethel white
granite and consists of an open circu-
lar colonnade of eight columns fifteen
feet in height surmounted by cornice
and cresting. The space inside the
colonnade is to be filled with growing
flowers. The columns rest on a stylo-
bate of three steps, which also rest,
at one side, on broad platform OF
Pompton pink granite and, at the
other, which is about five feet lower.
on a double fight of circular steps.
These are flanked on each side by a
large pylon. The pylons We're exhib-
tied a short time ago at the American
Institute of Architecture in New York,
and were pronounced by several ex'
perts to be the finest pieces of carved
granite ever executed. The detail is
elaborated to an extent never before
attempted in granite; some Of the
stems and leaves are practically free
standing, so great is the relief.
Interviewed regarding the memorial,

of New York, said: THE site is

Who is Restivo? Well, if you were

fist with the accordian. To say that
he made hit was putting it mildly;
he created something like Juror, as
no such accordion playing had ever
been heard on the stage at the Opera
House, taking at least seven encores
and curtain calls. He plays anything
from overtures and grand opera selec-
tions to rag time and the latest blues,
popular with all classes. and to miss
any of his program is real calamity.
Manager Dudley has booked him at a
big salary for three days, determined
to have him return to Americas as
soon as he entered vaudeville. He is

whether a finer site could anywhere
be found 1t can be seen from all sides
equally well, close at hand from the
cemetery road, and from quarter of
mile away across the lake. Indeed,
it is this body of water which forms
the chief beauty of the site. There is
drop of approximately 10 feet from
the level of the road to the level of
the lake, there being a natural terrace
on the axis Of the plot which lends
itself admirably to the architectural
development of the memorial The
lake is unusually still, and has a

memorial is made.

ASA GAMBLER TO ORGANIZE
ATLANTA MEN IN NIGHT
CLASSES FOR DRILLING

ATLANTA, Ca, April 7.-Plans have
been launched by Mayor Asa G. Can
dler, of Atlanta, who sent several Of
his nephews to the Mexican border in
the national guard, and who is intense
ly anti-pacifist in his patriotism, to
organize night training classes for the
business men of the city, similar to
classes now drilling in other cities over
the country.
In Atlanta as elsewhere there ara
hundreds of men with business inter
ests to look after and families to sup
port who would probably be rejected
by the government at this time, be-
cause they are needed more in the
country's economic than in its military
establishment, but who are anxious tc
get themselves in good physical trim
so that they would be prepared to &c
on short notice if the country should
need them later in a crisis.
The night training classes are or
ganized to meet just this situation anC
to inspire just this sort of patriotic
loyalty to the government, Already the
plan has been generally Endorsed IL
Atlanta, and it is probable that in
few days the city armory and the wide
streets will be filled every night witt
citizens formed into companies an
drilling in preparation for eventuali
ties.
