War Music Wanted.
Boston Post.

According to the ma or general III
command of one of the mobilization
camps, there is a dearth of good, en-
livening marching music for the use
of the vast number of military bands
that are now in process of organization.
He therefore makes an appeal to writ
ers of that kind of music to do their
utmost to turn out the variety that
can lift men s feet off the ground IN
cadence, cause them to forget fatigue
and make them glad they are in the
army.
This is a large order. Military music
that appeals strongly to the soldiers
rarely comes forth as such-witness our
own "There II Be a Hot Time i'll the
Old Town Tonight - and the later Tip
perary, now said to be i'll eclipse. No
body can sit down and deliberately com
pose something that is sure to be 1.-the
ireal thing not even Sousa. 1t S
like writing play, full of uncertainty
And yet it is possible to strike II
now and then, at that.
| Of late years most of our compos-
ers of non-classical stripe have busted
| themselves with the production Of stuff
for the modern dance, various steps
and Htrots.' Peace has tended to the
neglect of fine marching music.
! At the recent G. 4. R. parade here
in Boston it was noticed by the people
along the sidewalks that many of the
old Civil war marching tunes were the
most inspiring of all. The occasion may
have been partly responsible for it
istill the music itself has something tina
our modern output lacks.
New times, new manners. Also new
music. If the right kind of thing can
mot be made to order, it will neverthe
less come from somewhere and fill tn,
bill, probably when least expected. /
is c habit that music has

and the elephant and the camel had

Fish for Everybody.
Waterbury Recordl.

Fish and Game Commissioner Linus
LeavenS has just returned from ST
Paul where he attended the National
meeting of the fish and game commits
sloners. We have no doubt but this
conference of the commissioners will
result IL much good. 1t seems to the
average layman that there never was
a better opportunity for a fish and game
commissioner to make good than at
the present time. What Vermont wants
lis not only to have her mountain brooks
good fishing ground, but every river
and lake should be stocked as to make
them profitable for fishing. When one
considers that third of the food con
sumed is fsh-there is no reason In the
world why Vermont should not produce
her share.
The Winooski river running through
| Waterbury, the Mad river OF Mad river
valley, Little river which starts in
Stowe, should, and could be made to
produce hundreds Of pounds of fish. If
these rivers were good fishing ground,
think how it would help out in our To-
cal food supply and not only this, we
! believe these rivers could be stocked so
as to make fishing profitable
| 4NGlANC HSH bHOllu De on SAFE III every
fish market in Vermont. Thousands of
dollars worth of fish is shipped into
Vermont every week and we venture to
say that less than 300 worth Of native
fish is placed on sale.
The time is at hand when the fish and
game department of Vermont is going
TO be worthy of its name. 1t must
produce results. Nature has done its
part. The fact IS no longer doubted
fish will thrive in the rivers, lakes and
brooks of Vermont. Fish culture is
no longer an uncertainty 1t is known
just what kind of fish are suited for the
rivers, just what stock will thrive il
: the brooks and those best suited for oul
lakes.
Many a new shovel and hoe has beer

practical purposes. Cellars Will con

The Bennington Banner, in speaking
of the possibilities OF the wild berries
as a source of food supply, extols the
strawberry, red and black raspberries
and blackberries, but says nothing about
the blueberries, which grow luxuriantly
in all of the New England states. The
BURBERRY crop in this part of the coun-
try is far in excess of the total growth
of all other kinds of native unculti-
waited berries put together. The blue
berry also may be used in a wider va
riety of ways than the other berries.
1t is easily canned and the early set
tiers used to dry these berries and use
them in the winter season much as
raisins are used today. Many thou
sands of bushels of blueberries have
been picked in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire this season, but there are immense
tracts Of scrubby tracts where the sue.

we reach something of the standard OF

Thousands of young men in America

cause of physical disqualification some
one issues from the examination room
with a small store of knowledge with
which he may begin the struggle to re-
gain his health. 1t is a matter of com
mon report that a majority of the men
who have been rejected as unfit fer mil
ltary service were ignorant of their all
ments until the examination Of the Off
cial surgeon revealed the truth. Some
Of them have asked the doctors what to
do and were advised to consult a phvsi-
elan at once and submit to treatment.
Technical disqualification nave ruled

serve with the colors, but che fact re-
mains that the larger number of reiec-

of building up his health and the health
of generations to come depends very
largely ON the degree of persistence
which he uses in making the attack on
disease If they neglect their plain duty
they may always be unfit for military
duty and death may be theirs before
