Greater Nerm0nt-Greater New
England.

1t was an inspiring message that
ex-Mayor Fitzgerald Of Boston
brought to Vermont last evening.
We could not very we'll do other
wise than agree with him as to what
Vermont needs, for he suggested a
number of things that we have re-
peatedly advocated. Especially per-
tinent and significant was his refer
ence to waterway development, con-
trasting the way in which Germany
has utilized every possible means of
water transportation with the supine
attitude of New York and New Eng
land in allowing the great natural
Champlain route between New York
city and Montreal, between the
Great Lakes and the sea, to run to
waste. Instead of sending money to
help build up other sections of the
country we should be building up
Vermont and other New England
States. We should try to locate in.
dustries here. We should try to
get labor here instead of shutting
out immigration. We should get
together and make an organized eff.
fort to build up this section. We
We were all loud with our cheers,
but cheers will amount to nothing
unless they are followed by action
for a greater Vermont, a Greater
New England. Free Press.

HORSE NOT YET ABANDONED
No Tractor Has Yet Proved Itself
Equal to Animals in Handling Of
Light Batteries in Action.

According to a statement by the
war department, the forecast frequent
ly ventured, that horses are to be dis
placed by tractors in our light field ar
tillery is not yet justified. Expert
ments now being made with motor
lied batteries are apparently proving
successful only with heavier types.
The motorized light battery would
be ideal, of course, says the Providence
Journal. Good horses are scarce, their
upkeep is costly, they car be worked
only a limited number of hours on a
stretch, their care requires the serv-
ices of soldiers who could be valuably
employed otherwise, and the animal
casualties in war appeal to human
sympathy as well Is Occasioning a
heavy burden of expense.
For the horse or the mule in the
transport service the motor is readily
substituted. But it appears that no
machine has yet proved itself equal
to animal power for bringing a light
battery into action, or 'saving the
guns" under conditions that often
exist. In a parade I've a highway the
motor would serve, but for pulling
power in mud, for a dash eel a rough
field, a plunge to the selected firing po-
sition, or quick Numbering for action,
which may be a maneuver of seconds,
no tractor yet invented approaches the
mobility of the trained battery horse.
And mobility is the life of the light
battery.

Inactive Kidneys
Cause Disease
4 shall not soon forget the benefits | derived
from the use of Foley Kidney Pils."-ALA A..
Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.

ASo
roc much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles n stiff
joints and fail to realize tn at rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Brights dis
ease may result.
II you have cause to believe hat
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
Inactive you should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick.

The Chautauqua Situation.

The Chautauqua Situation.
The question whether the state
board of health can issue an order
stopping fairs, Chautauquas, and
other public gatherings is to be tried
out in the federal courts. The Yer
mont board of health has always, at
least in recent years, been an efici-
ent and conscientious body and
has made an enviabIe record in
preventing the spread of serious
contagious diseases and it would
look as though the efforts this year
to stop the epidemic of infantile
paralysis ought to be supported in
stead of being fought in behalf of a
local gathering that the people can
easily get along with without. The
board of health cannot do much un-
less it has the support of the people
behind it and it is much more import
ant to hold the outbreak OF polio to
the section now affected than to let
it get into other parts of the state
through the holding of fairs and
Chautauquas. While they are use
full institutions we are having so
many calls for help this year that
we must do without some of the
luXuries wen if they do add to our
enjoyment. Bloomington Banner.
Inasmuch as St. Adams has figured
in this controversy over the holding
Of Chautauquas it is only fair to the
members of the St. Adams Business
& Professional Mems Association,
under whose auspices the entertain
ment was to have been held, to say
that of the members assembled in a
meeting to consider the situation, a
majority were decidedly in favor of
standing behind the state board of
health. When the order was first
promulgated it was taken as a mat
ter of course that the engagement
would have to be cancelled and a
representative Of the Chautauqua
company took the same view, order
ed advertising, etc. stopped, sought
to place his talent elsewhere, and
naturally the local men felt that the
contract had been mutually called
off.
When the Chautauqua company
insisted upon filling the engagement
the question was put squarely up to
the local association whether it
would stand behind the state board
of health or not. The decision was
made to do whatever was necessary
to keep infantile paralysis out of the
city. Be it said to the credit of the
local association that the question of
possible damages did not sWerve
them from the path of what they
considered their duty to the people
of St. Adams and Franklin county.
They, at least, were not to take any
step which might lead to the spread
of the disease over this part of the
state. To them it was not a Ease of
dollars. but of public safety and
when health experts told them that
the holding of such an entertain
ment was dangerous, that settled it
in their mind regardless of what
the cost in dollars might be.
President Chandler put it concise
ly when he said that the association
was seeking to act in accordance
with the high ideals of civic patriot
ism which it processes.

deserving of all the praise the
World can give it. 1t is one of
about a dozen exemption districts in
the entire country to which the
draft for the first increment of the
new national army does not apply.
Another district is Windham coun-
ty, Vermont, of which Brattleboro
is the commercial center. Before
the draft took place Windham coun-
ty had furnished in the regular
army and National Guard 255 men
from a population of less than
$1,000. The quota for this county
was PAL. Windham almost equalled
the record of Breathitt county and
was ahead Of any other district in
New England or in New York state.
Vermont's contribution to war
service is over 1000 men and officers
in the National Guard, between 200
and 300 in the regular army, 467 in
the navy and over 800 in various
other branches of the service, with
out mentioning the large contingent
which went over the border long ago
to enlist with the Canadian troops.
More than 80 Vermonters have been
killed or seriously wounded some
where in France while fighting with
the British forces against the Hun.
Vermont stands seventh among all
the states of the Union on men en-
listed in the National Guard and

service in all fields of action and ac-
tivity could be figured it would I'M
doubtedly stand first.
