The Apportioned War Burden.

The extent to which Vermont is
being hit by the war is indicated by
the statement that as many as 200
or 800 families have left Brattleboro
during the past two or three years.
There is not a single community in
the state which has not contributed

some Of it's population either for &C
tual war service or for industries, To-
Gated outside of the state, for the
preparation of materials to be used
in the war. Probably Brattleboro
has not suffered any more than sever
al other Of the larger centers of pop
ulation, and the aggregate loss to the
state has been very large. And yet
when the apportionment of the war
burdens is being made up in Wash
ington or in the headquarters of war
organizations in other places Yer
mont's quota is based not on the ac-
tual population of the present time,
nor on the basis of the 1910 census
but on an estimated population which
is placed considerably above the Of
fetal population of the last census,
or grounded on a suppositional in
crease as shown by the gain from
1900 to 1910. AS a matter of fact,
Vermont's population is not so large
today as it was in 1910, for the nor
NAL increase, slow as it is, has been
more than wiped out by the call to
service in army work, or in factory
work incident to the war. 1t would be
a much fairer basis of apportionment
of the burdens of the war were the
census of 1910 to be taken instead of
an estimate of 1917 population when
is known to be excessive. - Barre
Times.
The Clean Are the Fit.
A father writing to the Christian
Standard says:
In our little town there are the
rougneckish sort and the civil, the
questionable, and the clean. When
the call to service came, a singular
Injustice occurred. Many of the
rougher men were rejected on ac-
count of weaknesses resulting from
their manner of life, while almost
without exception the sober and well
trained were accepted for service. Is
this, then, the reward of virtue-to
be chosen as food for the cannon?
This is true throughout the coun-
try. One is safe in saying that four
out of five of the clean-living young
men examined for military service
are accepted, and four out of five OF
the other kind are rejected. The
young men who have abstained from
cigarettes, beer and dissolute women
are going to the front to defend hun
dreds of thousands who have made
themselves useless to the country IN
it's great crisis.

A COngressman Patriot.

Ex-Congressman "Gussie" Gardner
of Massachusetts, is a good example
of the American patriot of the old
school. When the war broke out
Gardner was representing Massachu-
sets in the lower house Of Congress
and his desire for serving his country
caused him to tender his resignation
from that position in order to enter
military service. He was given the
rank Of colonel and was assigned as
adjutant of the National Guard or
carnations Of Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi. After serving in that
capacity for some time Gardner vol
unfairly took a reduction in grade
from colonel to major in order to be
come attached to a contingent going
to the front in Farnce. And so the
former congressman, a man of wealth
and influence at home, is willingly
giving up the easy life in order to do
service in the field for his country.
We call that real patriotisn1.-Barre

DR.. Dustan ard His Life.

In these days OF the praise OF Spe-
cialists let US not forget the helpful,
self-sacrifcing and noble work which
the all-around country physician is
doing-men like Dustan of Crafts

more than 40 years of service in

the country doctor must hold himself
in readiness to go forth in all condi-
tons Of weather, frequently for long
trying drives over the hills, to an

Of counsel and sympathy, alleviating
suffering, made repository for fam
lily secrets, seeing the seamy side of
life, struggling with the problems of
life and death, the reward of the
country doctor is not commensurate
with his labor, and in mum erous cases
he receives no remuneration for his
hard work But to the physician
who is true to the highest ethics of
his profession in his practice, there
is the approval Of the conscience in q
life spent in usefulness and in the
service Of others, and in having won
the respect, confidence and love Of a

Bar Open-Churches Close.

The report of the closing of the
century-old American House in ST..
Adams, an event of more than pass
ing interest to Franklin county peo-
pie, conveys the intelligence that the
bar in the hotel annex will remain
open during the winter.
Whatever untoward circumstances
caused the closing of the hotel proper
did not, the public is treasured, ex-
tend to the saloon adjunct. Bed and
board may no longer be had, but
booze is still available.
The fuel shortage which has closed
the ST. Adams churches and threatens
the schools, has not yet reached such
a serious stage as to call for the clos
ing Of the city's bar rooms. The
scourge of war has not yet been felt
in full measure-the American House
bar is still open for business.-Enos-

Sewing Clubs for Schools.

an my opinion there should be a
sewing club in every school. where the

suitable patterns for making new gar

a child can study better and accom-
might meet once or twice a month and
the women could bring with them their
cast-off clothing. to be made over either
for their own children or for some
mothers who spend much time sewing
cheap lace on their ohildren's clothing
when 1t would be much better to put
the price of the lace in material that
would be more serviceable. and make

trying for years to get simplified dress
Ing in the public schools. This is our
opportunity through the sewing clubs.
Our grandmothers used to piece
quilts from the scraps left from making
new garments. We have thrown them
away. They can be utilized for trim
mings in making new garments or
when making over garments.
we nope that In the near future
there Will be in every city a municipal
building where cast-oR clothing may be
