A WORTHY CAUSE.

Of all the numerous war activi-
ties there is none that deserves the
support of the public more than the
Red Cross Society. The boys who
are going to France will learn to ap-
preciate the splendid work of the he
roic men and unselfish women who
are caring for the wounded and sup
plying the gentle ministrations of
home to the sick and dying soldiers.
The popular conception of the Red
Cross is a pretty nurse reading to
a convalescent soldier, preferably a
captain; but those who know speak
of the innumerable ways in which the
Red Cross is useful. 1t is to the army
what all the doctors, druggists and
hospitals are to a city. It is one Of
the most important parts of the
army. The stretcher bearers follow
ing the charges, the swift ambu-
lances rushing the wounded back to
the hospitals, the parties burying the
dead and erecting the simple little
crosses over the graves-these re-
quire high degree of courage, and
are deserving of help they asking.
Til word is coming back to America
that the Red Cross is unable to care
for all the armies because Of lack
of bandages and dressings, instru-
ments and medicines. 1t is reported
that the Russian army is especially
lacking in equipment-the wounded
are sometimes dressing their own
wounds, with newspapers or dirty
rags. Durango Chapter of the Red
Cross society is doing great work
in making bandages, hospital dress
irgs, ETC., but it needs money for the
purchase of materials and supplies.
To raise this money it has been decid.
ed to give a dance at Red Men hall
on Friday, September 21. Tickets
are to be placed on sale at once and
the ladies confidently hope that the
resi- onse will be generous and cheer
fully given. The affair will be one
of the largest and prettiest ever Civ.
en- in Durango, and those who do rot
care to dance vii Be entertained In
other ways. Show your patriotism
and appreciation of the Red Cross
work. 1t is . noble cause, and you
will have an evening to be remem-
bered.

Worlds Largest Tale Center

burlington free fftss
Barre famed for its granite, is not
the states only Largest center in the
world. " Rochester has long been claim,
ing to be the largest center of the tale
industry in the world, and the genera
superintendent of one of the largest pro.
ducing companies in the state writes in
proof of the fact. Moretown, rival OF
Rochester, East Granville, Cambridge,
johnson, Windham and Chester Depot,
or their vicinities, also contains sub.
stantial deposits.
What he says substantiates in part
what the Free Press asserted in frag.
mentary way lately. He writes;
There is no question but that Roches-
ter is correct in its claim about being
the leading tale center in the world as
it has the largest tale mill in the world
at present and the capacity of this mill
is also the greatest of any mill in the
world, its total output being between
3, 500 and 1900 tons a month through
out the year.
"Ihe expenditures fornew machinery
are constantly being made to the extent
of probably SIS, 900, to $25, 600 a year
and the business is constantly growing.
Vermont is second only to New
York in the amount of tale produced. 1"
The variety of uses that tale may be
put to will surprise the ordinary reader
who hears of it only in the form of a
powder, Industrial Vermont" says
Tale is used in the manufacture of
paper and rubber, and in sizing and
bleaching cotton cloth, in the manufac-
ture of toilet powders, soaps, shade
cloth and curtains, water proof paint,
gypsum wall plasters, in dressing skins
and leather, in the manufacture of in
sulators, and in the cermaic arts.
1t looks as if there would be plenty
of opportunity in the future of estab-
fishing new factories in the state, to
make products of which the chief con-
stitutient is tale.

Our Village Greens

We are told that there is little
shrine on almost every street in Lon
don. The people do not call it a
shrine, but that is practically what it
is, for flowers are laid beside it every
day and people stop with reverence to
read the inscription. 1t is often only
plain board, but the names written
upon the board are those of men who
have gone from that particular street,
and are doing or have done their best to
save the freedom of their country.
1t is early for US to begin to think of
such things, but in almost every COM
munity there are honored names which
we enshrine in our hearts. In one
New England village the list is being
prepared to put on the village green.
1t is small village, a manufacturing
town, and yet there are the names of
three ambulance drivers in France, a
captain in the aviation squadron and
now flying with the wild duck on his
machine, the emblem of Alsace. The
names of two navy men are there, one
in command of torpedo-destroye
A young Scotchman is also recorded,
who had gone to Canada to join a regi-
ment, and others are there, boys who
have grown up in our midst. Let us
keep the roll of honor as an inspiration
to those who shall come.
Mrs. Howe's famous battle song
takes on new meaning The last line
of it becomes universal. 1t was for the
special freedom of a race that she was
praying, and now it is the cry of the
whole world:
"As He died to make men holy, let us die to
make them free,
For God is marching on.
