BURR AND BURTON NOTES

The fall work is well begun. There
are on register 124 pupils. In addi-
ton to the regular work Of the school
Red Cross work is to be taken up this
week under the able direction Of Miss
Anita Bliss, who will initiate the girls
into the mysteries Of surgical dress
ings. The fifty girls who have signed
up for the course will make their own
uniforms. The gymnasium will be the
meeting place Of this chapter.
The first monthly dance Of the year
was held in the gymnasium on Thurs
day evening, October 1lth, from to
10. 1t was very well attended, several
graduates coming back to swell the
ranks of the dancers. The persistent
calls for an encore TO the final waltz
showed that the evening was very
happy one and went by all too quickly.
On Friday, the annual climb to the
top Of Mt. Equinox was made, Mr..
Tuttle acting as guide. Everybody
was in such high spirits that even the
cloudiness and cold could not spoil
the fun. The descent made by way
Of Table Rock, caused many slip and
many laugh. Mountain Day very
often would be rather arduous, but the
view from the various look-outs makes
the trip most alluring and inspiring.

shirts, operating gowns, bath towels,
hand towels, hot-watcr bag covers,
rubber pillows, oilskin suits, nurses
mitts, absorbent cotton, etc.
All Of which is the fruit Of the labor
of that army Of women that has been
working all over New England this
summer. The raw materials are sold
at cost price to the chapters and
branches and they return it manufac-
tured-free. That is how this army il
doing its "bit" for the war. II takes
one pound Of worsted yarn to make q
sleeveless sweater. The Supply Ser
vice sells that yarn for 81, which is
81 less than the retail price today. In
fact some yarn il selling for $500 .
pound today. The Red Cross bought
100000 pounds Of this yarn months
ago-before the rise. There are ship
ped every day TO New York an aver
age Of 36 cases valued at $500
more than 100000 month. And
that is minimum figure.
Sweaters are going to local camps
at the rate Of 800 day now. From
Proctor, VT, there came 1000 sweaters
in one batch last week, and that was
only part of the Vermont Chapters
total. There are in New England
about 800 branches and chapters send
ing in goods all the time. In the Met
ropolitan Chapter, which covers
Greater Boston, there are AZ branches.
The surgical dressings is an import
ant part of the work. These dressings
are Of two classes--sterilized and non
sterilized, and have to be perfectly
packed. There is restaurant on the
first floor, run by the Women's Educa-
tional and Industrial Union, where
nearly all of those who work for the
Red Cross eat
Outside, the street is lined with ex-
press teams and autos bringing and
goods.
Altogether It is satisfying place TO
look over. You feel in this nerve cen
ter the whole patriotic impulse that
animates the army Of women all over

the way Of expert advice relative to
the many vexing problems confronting
them. This work has been most sue
cesSful and II u now difficult TO find
an up-to-date farmer in the county
who will not admit he has received
some material benefit from the expert
advice received from the County Farm
Agent.
II is now the purpose of the Farm
Bureau to employ Home Demon
strator TO do work throughout the
county with the women to aid them in
solving their problems which are be-
coming more complex every day ow-
ing TO the increase in price Of food
stuffs. At present 1t seems advisable
TO employ woman TO work in Ben
nington and Rutland Counties, giving
each one half her time until July 1st,
1918. Lack Of funds and available
Home Demonstrators Ia the reason for
the cooperation between the two
counties. This woman will visit the
several communities in the county to
give demonstrations relating to the
many problems she is desirous Of solv-
ing. In addition to the demonstra-
tons, she will visit as many Of the
homes as possible where she may feel
her assistance may be desired. as well
as q benefit
In order to have the assistance of the
Home Demonstration, it is necessary
for each Of the two counties, Benning
ton and Rutland, to raise $500 as their
share Of the Demonstrators salary
and expenses. A committee composed
Of ]. D. Whittier, South SALISBURY,
and S. Everett Harwood, Bennington,
has been appointed by James Leach,
president Of the Bennington County
Farm Bureau, to raise the fund in
Bennington County. The committee
has worked out rather unique plan
for raising the fund, which has al
ready received the endorsement of
many school directors and superin-
tendcnts of schools in the county.
Every school teacher in the county
is to be furnished with subscription
blanks for use throughout the district
from which her pupils come. The
teachers will be encouraged to have
the pupils canvass the entire district
between Oct. 9th and 31st, to secure
for the $500 Home Dem
onstrator's Fund. It is hoped that
every school teacher may raise at least
$500. It is probable that as high as
$40 will be raised in some districts
where the school is planning to raise
money in other ways besides the sub
scription method.
The people of Bennington County
have in the past been exceeding all
in helping raise funds
made necessary by the past three
years war. Now they are to have an
to help raise another fund
for work of vast Importance. 1t is
anticipated by the committee having
this work in charge that subscriptions
will be gladly given. Those desiring
10 send check may make them payable
10 either of the above committee or
he Bennington County Farm Bureau.
An itemized report Of all subscrip-
ions received from the schools Of the
county and from other sources will be
given in the county papers soon after
subscriptions are received.

nington for Camp and bid you good
bye and this is one Of the reasons VIII,
| spoke few words from the truck yo,

the reason had no strong voice an,
was not very much instructed in Eng
lish my speech was short Here il
what said;
Dear fellow citizens:--l have nc
words to express my own as well my
future fellow soldiers, deep apprecia-
ton, and our hearty thanks, for the
reception, hospitality, and farewell we
received from all Of you today. ] have
no relatives and many Of my friends
have none, as others have here, TO
tell us goodbye at the last moment of
our departure; but behold our consola-
ton. Behold that by joining now the
one great army fighting for justice,
equality, liberty and consequently for
permanent peace Of the world we all
become today brothers and brethren Of
one good and honorable family. May
then our Lord of Peace inspire the
hearts Of all Of US to fight with our
might the glorious battle Of righteous
ness He himself fought and conquered,
that we also conquer, the iniquity, the
militarism, the barbarism, the evil
spirit Of might is right, which prevails
into the heart Of Germany, and re-
ceive the laurel, the crown Of fame
our great forefathers received.
We thank particularly the Red
Cross Of Bennington for the gift we
received. We thank the old veteran
soldiers Of Bennington for their cor
dial hospitality, among whom we
spent our first historical--and very
comfortable, might. We thank all
the good people of Bennington county,
and all the good people Of the United
States who stand with US, and we
assure you dear brethren that the
good impression we received from you
all will contribute ardor and power in
to every good work we are now going
to do for the good of our Country, for
the glory Of Democracy.
May God direct US all into the ac-
Of our duty. God bless
you all.
These few words l spoke because l
should feel ungrateful myself if had
kept to myself what thought of the
conduct Of the persons who sent us of,
and not thank you all in public, for
what you have done for us. l was
sorry had no strong voice to be
heard. All the boys from Bennington
County and of Vermont State and all
The boys who are in this camp feel
IN the same way and l am positive
sure that all the boys in every Camp
will feel the same way. They treat US
,icely; they do what they can to be
IS much comfortable as possible in

he same ways as our home, to have
what we want. Yet here we have
What we need. And every soldier, real

Be kind and give my regards per-
onally to all.
Best regards from all the boys.

HOMES FOR THE
CONVlLESCENTS 1t
FORT NJ PETERSON

Washington. July 13,-As part of
its program for looking after the
men in the army training camps, the
Rel Cross war council has voted to
build houses for convalescent soldiers
in the camps at Fort Oglethorpe and
Fort Mcpherson. near Atlanta. Ga.
At Fort Oglethorpe the Red Cross
is also taking over a stone quarry
which is to be converted into a bath
ing pool large enough to accommo-
date 600.
The buildings for the convalescent
soldiers will be used for men able
to leave the hospitals, but still I'M
fit for duty. Here amusement and
recreation will be provided, not only
to break the monotony and irksome-
ness of the recuperation period, but
TO aid in speedy recovery. Large
lounging rooms. writing rooms and
wide porches will be features of these
houses which will supplement the re-
creation rooms maintained by the Y.

Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife Of Major
General Wood, commander of the
southeastern district, is stimulating

suggestion, estimates were prepared
for converting the quarry into a

The pool is to be ready for use
August 9th, when the second Off
GERS training camp opens. Colonel
Herbert Slocum will be in charge of
its construction.

perhaps less confusing than sum-

One Of the most attractive of coat
dresses for fall is distinguished by a

FRENCH DAY
CELEBRATED TODAY.

Many of Pensacola's most prom
inent women are manifesting great
interest in the French Day" sale Of
buttons which will be held today, and
are doing their utmost to make it a
success.
The French National Organization
for Orphans, to which the receipts
from today's sale will be sent, was
organized in Northern France in 1914,
at the beginning of the European
war, to aid the thousands Of little
children whose fathers were lost to
them, temporarily at least, through
the mobilization of troops which was
in progress at that time. The chill
dren were provided with Identified
ton tags and taken to hospitals and
other places of refuge to be cared
for. Many Of the fathers never re
turned and their children became
wards of the organization. There are
now upwards o. 100000 helpless little
orphans dependent upon charity.
Many of them have been wounded,
others re suffering from nervous
shock and all are in urgent need of
food, clothing and attention.
The many letters received from
France telling of the pitiful condi-
tons under which the children came
under the care of the society offer
vivid proof of the need of this worthy
charity, and the ladies who have the
work in charge locally hope Pensa-
cola will makes liberal response to
the appeal.
Mrs. J. S. McGaughe., chairman of
the local unit, assisted by other ladies
of the city, will conduct the sale Of
orphan buttons this afternoon and
evening. Booths will be located at
convenient points throughout the
business district, and also at War
rington and Bayview Park The
stands will be decorated in the ma
tional eolors of America and France.
The hours of sale will be. from u
o'clock noon to 8 p. m.
An added attraction will be the
Barrancas band, which will play in
Mallory court from to 9 o'clock
when all the national aires will be
played. The ladies in charge of the
concert are: Mrs. F. S. Mellen Mrs.
I. H. Aiken and Mrs. John B. Jones.
Again the ladies ask. ''Will you give?
1t is a worthy cause"

POEM FOR THE DAY.

There's a comfortable tSought at the
close of the day,
When I'm weary and lonely and
sad,
That sort of grips hold of my crusty
old heart,
And bids it very merry and glad:
It gets in my soul and drives out the
blues
And finally thrills, through and
through
1t is just a sweet memory that chants
the refrain,
'G'm glad I touched shoulders with
you"
Did you know you were brave? Did
you know you were strong?
Did you know there was one lean
ing hard?
Did you know that I waited and list
ened ard prayed,
And - "heered by your simplest
word?
Did yo4 know that I longed for the
smile on your face
For the sound of your voice ring
ing true?
Did you know grew stronger and
DeCUer because
I had merely touched shoulders
with you?
I am glad that l live-that I battle
and strive
For the place which I know I must
fill;
/ am thankful for sorrows-Tll meet
with a grin
What fortune may send-good or
i'll;
may not have wealth, and I may
not be great,
But know I shall always be true
For / have in my life that courage
you gave
When once l rubbed shoulders with
you.
