do l believe this ? If some one destroy
your fields, if some one fire your
house, if he rob the graves of your
ancestors, if he carry into captivity
members Of your family, if he commit
q nameless offense against your son,
if he ravish your sister, your wife, or
your mother, shall we not call him to
account!
"The German people have done all
these things in the name of war, and
l call upon you to remember that this
has been done, if not to you, to your
ally, who under the leadership of
Lafayette, brought you men and
brought you money that you might
win your war for Independence. To
France, who gave US money, who gave
us men, we will return a thousand
fold; and as she gave US the victor of
the Marine, so we through you and
comrades of the national army will
give her a victory upon the Rhine.
"And soldiers, we who remain at
home promise to do everything within
our power to support you in the field,
to care for those you leave behind and
to make their way easier and your
work better.
"Soldiers, I charge you to keep
yourselves physically clean, morally
clean and come back to us as we have
sent you forth. Remember wherever
you are, that you are Vermonters;
that you represent Vermont and her
high ideals; that the time was when
Vermont was put at the front; and
that the time may come when she may
be put at the front again; and if that
happens be always ready. Remember
that soldiers duty is to obey those

Vermont.

There's little green state
That's little bit late
In accepting new fads in the rough;
But that same little state
Is quite right up-to-date,
When it comes to the genuine stuff.
If you're looking for wealth,
Or the joys of good health,
You can get them right here in great
store
Pure air you will find;
And just bear in mind,
That good things you can have by the
score.
There are meadows and mountains,
And forests and fountains,
There is marble and granite the best;
Good highways for autos,
Over hills and past grottos;
And the scenery will stand every test.
You may safely avow
That time is right now
To grasp opportunities fine,
The states sure to win fame,
And Vermont is it's name:
Just hustle and get into line.
Now this little ditty
Is not very witty
But it's meaning is plain to be seen,
Nineteen out of twenty
Will have health, peace and plenty
In the state with it's mountains of
green.

Denies Red Cross Is Selling Any
Articles.

Charles E. Mason, vice chairman OF
the Boston Metropolitan chapter OF
the American Red Cross has sent out
statement in which he says that
rumors, which he believes to be of
malicious origin, are being circulated
to the effect that the Red Cross is
selling knitted articles.
Mr.. Mason's statement emphatical-
ly denies this. He says:
Cali of the Red Cross sweaters and
knitted articles are sent directly to
soldiers and sailors both on this side
of the water and in Europe. We send
them on " on requisition of company
commanders in order to avoid any
possibility of duplication.
1T is our purpose that all the SOL
diers and sailors of the United States
army and navy shall first be provided
with Red Cross articles before any
such comforts are sent to the soldiers
and sailors of our Allies. 1t is abso-
lutely false that the Red Cross is now
selling any of it's articles. What few
things we ever sold were when we
were satisfied they were purchased by
a friend to be given to soldier or a
sailor"

The effort to make an honor roll Of

but is far from complete. The Mont

ty boys who volunteered, but there
are others in other departments. Fa-
theirs, mothers, friends, send the name
of any boy who volunteered from this

roll may be complete. Send to H. F.

lined and most anyone's imagination

lined and most anyone's imagination
can sketch in the decails.
Jeffey is looking into the human
waste places; is lending the states
| helping hand to the unfortunate II
life's race. And he finds them right
under the noses of respectable people
who don't imagine they exist so close
at hand, who never have been really
awakened to unpleasant facts that are
so noticeable as to go unnoticed just
because they are so familiar.
Jeffrey, by consulting his files
(Which are daily becoming social
waste places in about every commu-
nifty in the state. His job is young
yet, having been given the breath OF
life by the 1917 legislature, but he al
ready knows more about poverty, de-
linquency and f. 55h-=ftting schools for
future derelictions- anyone
ought to be permitted to discover IN
this Green Mountain state of ours.
The aim of this man is a very sim
pie one, despite it's complexity. He
wants to make better citizens out of
unfortunate "kiddies," as he calls
them, than they could become did So
ciety go on neglecting them. He
wants to clean up the waste places in
which the human weeds flourish. His
view is that society reaps as it sOWs,
and he wants a harvest of manly and
womanly boys and girls. His care
and concern are the submerged ten.
His work hasn't become very we'll
known yet. There hasn't been time.
If this department is given an oppor-
tunity it is full of promise Of splen-
did results. Jeffrey has the enthusi-
asm and the love for this kind of
work which indicates that he can
make a success of it if anyone can.
And of course it will be successful.
There has long been demand in the
state that childish victims of poverty
and parental neglect be cared for in
some proper way that they may be
given a fair chance in the world, that
they may not be doomed from the
very start to unuseful and dishonora-
bic lives.
Jeffrey's work demands the sympa-
thetic interest and support of the peo-
pie This he will have as the public
becomes better informed Of what he
is doing and why such work is neces-
sary. The story he would have to tell
if forced to describe what he finds
would not be a pleasant one, or of
such a nature as to fatter us. But
Just because this is so it is necessary
that the work be done. Jeffrey thinks
the time has come when the state must
give as much attention to the human
kinds as it does to cattle. He has the
pledge of support of all decent people.

Asparagus Bed 100 Years Old.

From the date of it's first settle
ment down to the present time a sec
ton of what is today the village of
White River Junction, in the town of
Hartford has been called ''The Point
because of the natural formation of a
stretch Of land at the junction of the
White and Connecticut rivers. AT
the time of its settlement, the point
was the head of navigation on the
Connecticut river and the leader
among it's first settlers was Elias Ly-
man, who came from northampton
Mass, and who during his lifetime
was extensively engaged in the COM
mercial interests of Connecticut riv-
er navigation.
In course Of time family mansion
OF line Colonial architecture was built
and this today continues as the home
of descendants of the first settlers of
the name of Lyman and while much
of the original estate is in streets and
dwellings today, the old-time colonial
garden remains intact and a feature
OF this garden is an asparagus bed
that was started in 1916, 1O1 years
ago, and that continues to this day to
yield an annual and generous crop.
The bed has never been replanted
with new roots but because of an in
telligent making of the original bed,
it's favorable location and it's never
neglected cultivation, it has main
tanned it's existence and has given it's
owners in this present season and the
first year of it's second century a sup
ply free from defects and in every
way of the best quality. The bed
from the first has ever been free from
asparagus rust that has now become
so frequent in all sections of New En-
gland.
The original making of the bed in
cluded the securing of an efficient
drainage and as each winter set in it
had a dressing of manure and like
dressing of coarse salt on the open
ing Of each spring This method of
care and cultivation is continued to
this day regardless of the claim of
many that salt is a non-essential in
the cultivation of asparagus.

Governor Graham has been looking
into the prison labor question in Yer
mont and finds the jails are surpris-
iy empty. An effort has been made
to have prisoners work and Chitten-
den county reports that 5000 has been
earned during the summer. Orleans
county had no prisoners when the re-
port was made. In these times of
shortage of all kinds Of labor, both
skilled and unskilled, there is every
reason why prisoners should labor
and Governor Graham's effort to see
that they have employment as much
as possible is a commendable idea.

Earth and Moon,

Fifty moons would equal the earth
in volume, although it would take 81
times the mass Of the moon to equal
the mass of our planet as the lunar
density is only six-tenths that of the
earth. The entire surface of the moon
about equals North and South America
in area, though about 40 per cent of
this surface we can never see, since
our satellite always turns the same
face toward US.
