swim to the empty lifeboat as best
they could.
The American schooner Woodward
Abrams was attacked four hundred
miles off shore. Captain Van Namme
and his crew Of. eight were put in q
lifeboat while the Germans set the
undertaken schooner afire with ill.,
cendiary bombs. The American
sailors drifted about the Atlantic for
two days and two nights when they
were picked up by another lumber
schooner, the Norwegian Anna Maria.
She was summarized 400 miles off
shore and the men again took 10 the
lifeboats The crew Of the Anna
Maria we're never seen again. After
another twenty-four hours adrift Cap
tain Van Namme and the Americans
were picked tip. They lived until the
Norwegians died. Frost believes
from the evidence sifted by him that
the submarine commanders are wide
ly different. Some of them delight in
making their work as fiendish as pos
sible, Frost said. Some of them,
when they can lose nothing by it, put
on a little "gentlemanly buccaneer"
comedy. They were very polite to
the crews they showed off into the
boats, expressing regret and hopes
for speedy rescue
In no case, however, did this po-
likeness affect their interests. 1t dis
appeared as the smoke of a patrol
boat was sighted, or an another vic
tim appeared. In such cases the
mask was dropped.
A British stewardess and her hus-
band. a sailor, who were taken be-
low decks and questioned most polite
ly at first, were taken to the deck
and the submarine submerged, leav-
ing them struggling in the water, af-
ter they had refused to give up any
In very few instances
there were suggestions of regret on
the part of the submarine officers
One of those was related by Second
Officer Kohlsaat, a naturalized Brit
sh subject, who was allowed to touch
off the bombs which destroyed his
own ship. In talking with the sub
marine captain the latter expressed
disgust with the work cut out for
lin. With tears in his eyes. he said
hat submarine captains had been put
o death by slow torture in Germany
or letting hig passenger liners es-
ape them.

SHEEP AND WOOL IN BATES
COUNTY
Industry Proving Both Pleasant and
Profitable to Farmers.

! Some few years ago, when the
present tariff law was under discus
sion, it was claimed by all those fav-
oring a protective duty on wool and
particularly wooden goods that if the
| then almost prohibitive duties were
removed or lowered that the sheep
and wool industry would be demol-
ished. Well, the duties were mater
tally lowered and the sheep and wool
industry is still alive and prosperous
in spite of the direful predictions.
On last Monday Gordon & Whin-
cry sold their wool clip from 81 head
of sheep which amounted to 668
pounds at 20 cents, also the clip from
two pet lambs for $I2.oo, making
total for wool of $413.7o; and this is
not all from the 81 head OF sheep
there remaining Is lambs which are
valued at about $3.50, which are soon
to be sold. This makes a total rev.
enue from the 81 head of sheep of
$I,163.7o and the original flock left
to make further returns to their
owners another year. This of course
is not all profit-and we cannot say
exactly what the actual profit is, we
do not know the cost of production
but it is safe to say that this flock
of sheep made a fair return on the
invested and the labor spent
in taking care of them. We did not
write this as an argument for. or
against Protection as National pol
icy, but merely to show that the
sheep business can be made to pay in
this country, and especially in this
part of Bates county regardless of
tariff systems. 1t will be one of
Bates county's leading sources of rev.
enue when it becomes better devel-
oped. Moral: Farmers get more
sheep on your farm, more stock of
III kinds-and before you know it
vou will be a lender of money and
rot q borrower.-Amoret Leader.

would have made the contributions
to fund then. but for the fear that
too vigorous activities on the part of
close friends of the parents of the
murdered baby might bring ven
geance upon the father and mother,
and especially Jimmie, their 3-year-
old son.
The report that Keet received let
ter after the funeral of his baby,
warning him against any activities In
trying to apprehend the gang meant
death to him and others near to him,
is not denied.

ment to supply US, II will cost from
l30, 1000 TO 100000 dollars to properly
equip and put into the field full regi-
ment Of 200l men and 56 officers. In
any event, the State should see to Il
that its soldiers are properly equipped
before being sent into the field. Al
we may, and probably will, be called
upon to do more than furnish one reg
iment, suggest that you appropriate
at least 100000 dollars and safe
guard its expenditure. The treasurer
should also be given authority to bor-
row and pledge the credit of the State
for proper amount. While the gov
ernor and the treasurer may have suf-
hcient authority at present, as the law
now stands. II will be safer to have
an appropriation and like borrowing
authority given TO the treasurer. The
figures showing how this result has
been reached can be obtained from the
adjutant general.
To my mind the time TO cease talk
ing and to act has come. Vermont
will as usual do her part and moro
han her part. Patriotism does not
consist alone in following the colors
or in making patriotic speeches, or in
each other Of our love Of
country, but rather in each individ-
,al's doing and continuing to do day
~ day, his or her part. The farmer
should increase the acreage under the
,low; the mechanic, his hours Of la
,or; the professional man should give
lis time to organization. An army in
he field must be properly fed and
lothed, and tended in health and sick
ess; and all of these things must be
one by those who remain at home. i
SIX each one Of you in your respective
owns to look TO it that these things
re done

MEMORIAL TO PROF. RUSSELL
OF WILLIAMS COLLEGE
IMMORTALITY

He that is gone from us has just step
ped out
Into the sunlight Of greater day
With smiling face, and kind firm hands
outspread
And face uplifted, as to catch the light
He always was so free in giving;
gentle still
And tender, with the understanding
heart
And sympathy Of speech that made
him loved.
His is a splendid immortality
Not entered on as new in that new
guise
That larger life has granted him, but
here
Among us all, begun and carried out.
He moved amidst US, and his truest
self
Spread through US kindling clearer
flames of faith,
A presence shining as the morning
sun
That penetrates the soft, grey-clouded
mist,
Transfuses it to light, and glows with
It's very heart, shaft of shining gold.
Just so his high, courageous gentle
ness,
The love Of better living, frmer
strength,
rhe kindly sympathy Of youth made
younger
Than youth itself, by tolerance oS
years.
III this--a nobler striving toward the
truth,
ives deathless within us, and in those
Who went before. And who shall say
when this
'enign and gentle influence shall
cease?
'or, broadening still, it spreads un-
endingly
i'll lives on some far shore Of time
are lit
. radiance, e'er they render back itS
flame.

WHAT VERMONT PAYS
FOR FARM LABOR

i While l6 states of the Union durini
1916 paid higher monthly wages +
male farm laborers than did Yer
mont, the state stands considerabl,
above the average, and with Masschu
sets highest in New England, accord
ing to the monthly crop report fo
March of the bureau Of crop estim
ates, United States department Of ag
riculture.
Vermont's wage with board was $3(
a month, as compared with the follow
ing figures for the other states oi
New England: Maine $29; New Hamp.
shire, s29; Massachusetts, $50; Rhode
Island, $29.50; Connecticut, $29.80. Ir
1915 Vermont paid $26.80 and in 1910
$500.
The states wage without board was
relatively somewhat lower as compar-
ed with three of its fellow New Eng
land states. The six stood as follows
for 1916 and 1915, respectively: Maine
SAL and $50; New Hampshire, SAB and
$3.50; Vermont, SAB and s38; Mas
sachusetts, s4650 and $41.50; Rhode
Island, $44 and s29; Connecticut, SAG
and $40. 1t IS probable, however, that
board cost less in Vermont on the av-
crage than in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, or Connecticut. A very slight
difference would be needed to wipe out
the latter's wage advantage.
New York does not compare with
Vermont in wages paid with or with
out board in either year. It's figures
are: With board, 1916 and 1915, $29.40
ard S25.40, respectively; without
board, $4O.s0 and $3.50, respectively.
The daily wage at harvest is almost
as creditable to the state. Vermont
paid with board, in 1916 and 1916,
$1.95 and s1.75 respectively; without
board $2.45 and 1921. The figures for
the other New England state and New
York were: Maine, with board, $1.94
and $1.72; without, $3.50 and s3.15,
New Hampshire, $1.9S
and $1.68 with board; $2.35 and $2.12
Massachusetts,, $1.95 and
5163 with; s248 and S2.15 without;
Rhode Island, $1.89 and SLIGO, with;
'2.37 and S2.07 without; Connecticut,
2. and $1.5O with; 1884 and $2.11
New York, S2.12 and $1.83,
With; S255 and $2.25 without.
Whether farm labor will rise more
he coming summer in New England
han in certain groups of Western
'tates remains to be seen. Very many
f the latter lack sufficient supply of
,bor because of mining activity, as
lew England has lacked it because of ;
lunitions making. II.
