Regiment of Negroes
 Received With Favor

The proposal of Capt J. R. Me Gregor to raise a regiment of negro infantrymen has met with some re- sponses in the state.
 James A. Fuller of Huntsville wrote Captain McGregor yesterday and asked that in event the war department granted him authority to raise the reg iment he be allowed to recruit com pany in Huntsville.

men at the academy who outrank him. In order to win this distinction he had to compete with more than 200 members in his own class.
 Discipline, class standing and general efficiency are the basis for the granting of these commissions.

In order to prepare for entrance into the naval academy. MT. Mcdowell became student at Marion institute, under H. o. Murfee, for several months.

He will complete his course in September, the time spent at Annapo- lis, being only g. little more than three years.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
 CLOSES FIRST STAGE
Committee Issues Instruc- tions and Suggestions for
 Coming Week

The first stage of the cleanup move nent in Birmingham has closed. The enemies of dirt and rubbish throughout the city have waged weekly assault and as a consequence, the cleanup com mittee avows that a mountain of junk, dirt and rubbish awaits the garbage de- partments.
 Now will come the hauling away of the accumulated rubbish. After Birming- ham has been cleaned up and the rubbish carted away, then will come the week celebrating the movement with it's object of Get Clean and Stay Clean"
 Concerning the present week. the clean up committee has issued the following counsel:
 Remove accumulations of leaves and trash from the yard. Keep the grass cut and shrubs and bushes trimmed
 Sidewalks and paved approaches should be swept. Do not sweep dirt into gutters KEEP DRAINS FREE FROM DIRT Cutters and drains must be kept free from dirt, leaves or other obstruction so that storm water will flow freely into catch basins.
 Grade the back yard so that rain water will run off and not stand in pools
 Back yards should be kept clean and free of all trash; tin cans bricks stones ashes lumber, paper, weeds, rags bot ties, etc.
 Chicken houses stables, dog houses fuel sheds and other buildings and en- closures must be kept clean and sani- tary, manure removed at least once each week, and do not use such buildings for storage places for accumulating useless auicles.
 Rain barrels and other water receptacles must be kept tightly covered or screened and emptied of all stagnant or stale water.
 Ashes from stoves or furnaces must be placed in metal cans and never in wooden receptacles. Clean ashes make good fill ing or grading material.
 KEEP GARBAGE COVERED
 All garbage must be kept in water tight metal cans and kept closely cov- cred at all times. Collect all garbage from the kitchen and dining room into a sink strainer. After the garbage has drained empty the strainer into an old newspaper and make bundle. Place these bundles into the garbage can. This makes neat, clean and practically odor- less method of keeping garbage. makes the removal less objectionable and pre- vents garbage from adhering to the bot tom and sides of the can. Treat coffee grounds, egg shells, peelings and greens as garbage. When you have fire in the furnace or kitchen stove burn the bundle of garbage if possible
 Miscellaneous trash, other than ashes and garbage, should be placed in boxes or bundled up for removal
 The city will collect all garbage, ashes and miscellaneous trash. Regular trips are made by the collecting wagon to your neighborhood. Learn the days on which the wagon Is expected and have the garbage can, trash box and ash can in convenient place for the collection.
 Screen the entire house, if possible. but especially the kitchen and dining room.

Congressman Dale on Pledge Gard
Campaign.

That real and vital war call to
service has been sent out to the wom-
en- of the United States along food
conservation lines is the opinion of
Congressman Porter H. Dale of the
second Vermont district. Congress-
man Dale, speaking of the food con-
servation pledge card campaign
which will be conducted throughout
Vermont during the week of Oct. 21st
when it is hoped that every house
wife in the state will sign such a card
declared that if loyal women only
perceive the Importance of their care
and effort they will give universal re-
Spouse. Congressman Dale briefly
summarized the situation as follows:
"This war has made it clear that
human skill has opened the way for
government and individual to carry
their desires far beyond the limit set
| to them in former times. Love and
till now could they go to such ex-
tremes in general expression and cru
| Ell execution. Genius has been busy
in two lines with like result On the
one side are the terrible means of de-
| struction and on the other are the
marvellous methods of conservation.
"War now calls for large armies,
and to equip and munition them, ex-
tensive manufactures must be kept
in operation; all of which takes men
from the pursuits of agriculture
And yet the food supply is the first
essential to the life of the nation and
the maintenance of the army. The
responsibility assumed by the United
States government to sustain it's own
people and to help provision the allies
| is tremendous task and would be
impossible were it not for the splen-
| did system of conservation that has
been created.
each individual is bound by loyal
ty to country and devotion to soldiers
to make every effort and sacrifice to
maintain this system. Especially
must the sympathy and effort of
women respond to. the great require
ments. By legislation the specula-
tor and manipulation and distiller
have been forced to yield to the ne
cessity. If loyal women only per-
ceive the Importance Of their care and
effort they will give universal re-
spouse. 1t is a great service in which
they will gladly act with effect as
broad as their sympathy is deep, and
that will assure success"

can Red Cross and chairman of the
Orleans county committee on food
conservation under Mr.. Hoover, was
introduced and spoke complimentary
words to the Irasburg branch for the
excellent showing at this meeting of
the amount of money raised and work
done in five short months. He also
spoke of the campaign for food con-
servation he is about to launch
through Orleans county and in which
he desires the hearty cooperation of
every patriotic woman in the county.
Rev. L. A. Edwards followed with a
very patriotic and stirring message
in which he spoke of the war and the
need of Red Cross work. He conclud-
ed his address with an appeal for
money for the Irasburg branch for
the purchase of more supplies, and
either in cash or pledges the sum of
$135.63 was given in a few minutes
by the interested people present who
were not by any means what we
might term slackers. This money
was freely given and no charge had
to be made for the evenings affair
and no supper was served. Such
money may not spend farther but it is
certainly more pleasing to get.
After the addresses the drafted
men were addressed by few remarks
from the president, Mr.. Kelley. Then
Mrs. Ralph Quimby made short ad-
dress to the soldiers of the national
army and in the name of the Red
Cross presented them with a very
fine and useful outfit The floor COM
mittee lined up the drafted men with
the officers of the Red Cross on the
main floor and while the band played
stirring music the entire audience
came forward and were introduced
and shook hands with the boys who
left US the next day for the training
camp. After this reception, the rest
of the evening was spent in prone
nading, the Irasburg band furnishing
the music. During the evening Prin.
Oscar Washer read the honor roll for
Irasburg which has since been hung
up in the postoffice, showing some 16
men from this town, who are either
abroad or in training camps serving
the colors, credit to town of this
size for SO early period in the war.
With a lot of costly material on
hand and good sum of money in our
treasury we shall be able to provide
work for all who are interested
enough in their country and in our
soldiers to work for it and them. If
you can attend the surgical dressing
class on Tuesday afternoons at Mrs
John Carpenters, do so. If you can
attend the work meeting at the Meth
odist vestry on Wednesday afternoons
do this. If you can take knitting or
sewing at home, let Mrs. Clough
know, and do this. But for the sake
of humanity, of some other mothers
son, if not your own, do something. If
you haven't signed anything lately
for the Red Cross and were not pres
ent the other night to- add your con-
tribution, do not wait to be asked
but call on Judge Sears, and show
your interest by making a gift, how
ever small it may be. The money
goes into the treasury here for the
purchase of supplies and local ex-
penses. Do your bit. Don't be a
Stacker. God help you to see your
duty clearly and to perform it.

Government in carrying On the war
will call for systematic saving in or
der to buy bonds. Before July L,
the Government will require $13, =
900, 900, 900. It must be raised either
by selling bonds or by taxation. The
necessity for saving to take these
bonds is easily seen. Nor should
any person be excused from the OBJ
legation. It is not to be question
of choice but of necessity. The
Government can draft money as we'll
as men if it has to, but if the people
purchase Liberty Bonds it will not
point.
