is serving with the Canadian Artil-

Quite number of his old battery
men were there, for the battery has
done good work in Flanders and

LIGHTNING CAUSES
HEAVY DAMAGE

One of the most terrific electrical
storms of the season passed over New
port Wednesday night. While the
rainfall was not heavy, the flashing of
the lightning and the roar of thunder
was continuous from about 1890 p.
M, until about 4 a. m. At about 1870
a. M, that morning, the barns
on the large dairy farm of w. B.
Robins & Son, in Derby, about four
miles from Newport were struck by
lightning, setting them afire, and they
together with 16 fine Jersey cows, six
calves, all the hay and grain, and the
house were destroyed. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000, with small fnsur-
ance.
Owing to the hour it was with diff
Guilty that help could be obtained. but
by persistent work the household fur
niture was saved in more Or less
damaged condition.

WAR LIBRARY PROCLAMATION
STATE OF VERMONT.
Horace F. Graham, Governor.
prOcIarno tim

The Secretary of War has appoint
ed as a national library war council.
Frank A, Vanderbilt, chairman. Theo-
dore N Vail, John H. Finley, Asa G..
Gambler, P. P. Claxton, ]. Randolph
Coolidge Jr., Mrs. Josiah E. Cowles,
James A. Flaherty, E. T. Salisbury
and Harry A. Wheeler. The purpose
of this council is to raise from the
people of this country one million
dollars for libraries for the use of our
soldiers and sailors, wherever as
sembled.
The week beginning the twenty
fourth of September has been selected
as the date to raise this amount. This
campaign will be carried on through
out the country in charge of state
committees and will be conducted in
towns by local committees. The plan
and scope of the campaign will be
made known to the local committees
by the state committee. Vermont will
join the states in this campaign for
funds; therefore.

aars, or only about five cents for each
person in the state. Will. you not do
more than this? To all the calls yet
made upon us, you have responded
freely and literally. Your legislature
by it's million dollar appropriation for
war purposes, set an example not yet
equalled, by any other state in the
Union, when we consider our popula-
ion, our size and our resources. You
subscribed more than your assign.
ment of the. Liberty Loan. You came
up to and passed the mark set for you
In your Red Cross subscription. Your
sons by their voluntary enlistments,
gave to Vermont the seventh place.
among the 4S states. The purpose of
this call is that these men In all
branches of military service may be
provided with good books; books that
treat the technical side r their new
life; books that viii aid them in their
preparation for the performance of
their duty; books also that will anhse
them in the few hours rest that may
come to them and that will take their
minds off the dull routine Of camp;
books that in the hospital may help
convalescents sooner to become well
and. fit for service: and lastly, books
that will tell of the home land and
for time make our boys see and feel
the scenes and friends at home. Good
books are great instru ia eli - in sus-
tanning the morale of an army; and
the morale of an army is one of the
greatest, if not the greatest element
that makes for its success. The hour
; of idleness is the great menace to the
soldier A book lessons the tempta-
tions Of this hour. -
Will you not respond to this good
cause as you have responded in the
past to other good causes, and as you
must continue to respond until Ameri-
ca wins. this war.
