We hope that Captain Wilcox will
succeed in raising Company D to it's
full war strength. Any man who has
registered can enlist in this company
and will be free from the draft when it
is made. By volunteering his service
in Company D now young man
knows what organization he is to serve
with, and will bring distinction to the
state of Vermont. If he waits for a
draft he does not know what organiza-
ton he will be assigned to. He may
get into an organization that will not
bear the name of Vermont or bring
any distinction to his state. He knows
nothing who his superior officer will
be. But if he enlists in Company D
he knows that he will be under Capt.
Wilcox, man who has proven his fit
ness and kindness to the men under
his command. Therefore we urge the
young men of this vicinity to enlist
to serve with Vermont and under Capt
Wilcox.

Close of the Academy.

The annual closing of St. Johns
bury Academy took place yesterday.
While it is an annual occurrence it
was a rather unusual one, because, as
Prin. Benedict said, the outgoing class
was an unusually large one and con-
tanned an unusual number of young
people prepared for college. Another
unusual feature was the fact it was
the closing official act of Prin. Bene-
dict for the Academy. He closed an
eight-year service as head of the
Academy, and graduated this year
the largest and most promising class
of the past eight years. There was an
unusually cordial feeling between the
students and the principal Of the
school.
Certain it is that St. Johnsbury
Academy closed it's 74th year in good
working condition., with a well re-
spected teaching force and the student
body loyal to the institution. A very
large proportion of the parents hav
ing children in the school will regret
that Prin. Benedict is not to be back
next year, but they will look and hope
for good things from his successor.

Buy Winter Coal
Now Says Calvin
President of the Oregon Short Line
Says Country Is Threatened With A
Lack of Fuel.

President e. e. Calvin was in the
city for a few minutes Saturday while
making a flying trip over the system
with a number of officials. He said
that consumers should lay in their
winter supply of coal Immediately, as
there will be the greatest difficulty
experienced by mines and railroads
in unloading the coal, and the greatest
degree of cooperation is necessary be-
tween them. The idea that the price
will be lowered materially by the ma
tional fuel commission is making lots
of people refrain from purchasing and
this is likely to aggravate the situation
and leave them entirely without fuel
during the winter in the opinion Of
President Calvin.
The party remained here only a few
minutes.

ARMY CANTONMENTS
COST OVER s15O,OOO,OOO
international News Service)


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-The compile
ton of the sixteen environments for
the national army is one of the
greatest construction jobs ever I'M
dertaken by any government and
within three months the government
has expended approximately $150,000,-
900 upon this work, whereas the
largest amount appropriated in any
one year for the Panama Canal was
SAC, 100000
Within sixty days 100 sawmills in
all parts of the country shipped more
than 500,000,000 feet of lumber to the
cantonment sites. Altogether $4,000
kegs of nails were used; there were
installed 100000 doors and 6S6,00O
sash, while nearly 30,000,000 square
feet of wall board was used for in
side sheating.
When paved streets, telephones, fire
protection, electric lights, water sup
ply and sewage disposal are added to
this undertaking, some idea may be
had as to the wonderful piece of work
done in record-breaking time in pro-
viding comfortable quarters for the
national army.

GERMANS THOUGHT THAT
LONDON WAS WIPED OUT

SHARON, Pa, Oct. 2-That the
German soldiers are victims of the
grossest sort of duplicity is the state
ment of Philip Fisher, a member of
the American Red Cross Ambulance
Corps in France. In letter to
friends here Fisher says that he has
been present when German prisoners
have been questioned "They did not
believe that the United States had
any men In France" he says, land
they also thought that London had
been obliterated by the Zeppelins."

Vacant lot farming has definitely begun.
Ground was broken last week, Planting
will begin this week Other tracts will be
developed as fast as the ladies of the eco
nomics department of the home defense
league can raise the money to have the
blowing done-they have volunteered to
do all subsequent work themselves.
1t is a great example the women have
set Helen of Troy must have been s'-"n
woman, that all Greece should have bab
for her for ten weary years. Will our men
be able to follow the example, Will our
developers be able to solve the labor prob
em-will they make the attempt?
The fact that a crop can be put on the
market from thirty to ninety days sooner
in the south than elsewhere, and that enOr
nous quantities of foodstuffs produced in
Pensacola's territory can be brought here
by water for export abroad-these are the
two tremendous advantages the food and
car shortage give this region.
The south, if it takes advantage of its
opportunity now, will accomplish fifty
years development inNfve 1t can feed the
world. But it must make an effort. Talk
ing about opportunities and watching
them pass will accomplish nothing. Faith
in the country and leadership by our own
people-that is what is needed here.
Pensacola and its territory are in posi-
ton to sell enormous quantities of food
stuffs abroad. Alas, that development has
not been started!
What we need is an exporting company
to solicit huge food contracts from the
American and foreign governments, that
our farmers may be encouraged to develop
paintings and be assured of a minimum
price.
Such enterprise will attract the attention
of the government to us it will make good
the boast that the south really is in the
saddle 1t will cause the government to
mobilize farm labor to this region to en-
able further development. But we must
show our worthiness-we must emulate
our women!

"BARKIS IS WILLIN'."

McDavid offered. The two verbs sum up
the entire situation
The war department actually favored
the West Florida location-ideal in every
respect; no boast this, but a Lamentations
The price was within the appropriation
Anniston's exceeded it. The terrain is
hilly, it is turf-Anniston' is flat, and pull
verified by long blowing will make artillery
maneuvers in heavy weather extremely
difficult. The McDavid location, moreover,
has railroad connection. artesian water,
an abundant wood supply, and is bounded
oy a river.
But while we sat in the midst of our
McDavld splendors as willing as Barkis
and as hopeful as Micawber that something
would turn up, the Admission enthusiasts,
who believed in their country and believed
in making others believe in it, got busy.
Slang or not, they got busy They made
good the price difference, they brought
political pressure to bear, they conducted
an advertising campaign that would have
made Eden blush.
And Admission got what we were willing
to receive.

BIDS Be OPENED
BY commissioners

Bids will be opened by the city
commissioners at the meeting this
afternoon for the furnishing and
erection of a new 85-foot stack at the
municipal water plant, and it is ex-
pected that the several bids in hand,
which were sent in sealed will yield
a satisfactory offer to do the work,
and will enable the commissioners to
award the bid at this afternoons
meeting.
It is the wish of Superintendent
Sweeney to have the new and lofty
stack erected at the earliest possible
moment, hence the probability of the
work being awarded at today's
meeting.

CAR SHORTAGE AND HUNGER.

How serious the railroad situation is may
be inferred from the cutting down of pas
senger service in order that every locomo-
tive, every pound of coal possible may be
employed to handle freight
The program. which was established by
the war board OF the American Railway
Association, includes the elimination of cx-
CurslOn trains, substitution of linked SER
vice." where possible to take the place Of
special passenger and freight trains, con-
solidating trains and dropping observation
cars.
The scientific explanation of the condi-
ton is given as follows in The Railway
Age Gazette:
In the fiscal year ended on June 90 1916 the rail
transported billion Of freight
traffic they n the fiscal wear 1913
which previously was the record wear ard n The aI
endar ended December 81 1916 they set an
other handling billion ton-rnies
of freight traffic more than thew did IN the esc var
ended 80. traffic moved has
continued to increase. The freight moved in
January and February the latest two months for which
figures available, again surpassed movements
Is At present record breaking car sboars wy +6t
there is still record breaking business"
Thus with traffic demands exceeding
the supply already, when the United States
entered the war, something had to give,
that the increased service for the govern
ment might be rendered. So passenger
service was cut. Later on, when troop
movement begins, when the enormously
increased wheat crop begins to roll, when
the millions of feet of lumber and tons of
steel for building the mighty merchant
marine are ready for delivery still greater
cuts may be made necessary-n pas
senger trains laid off, all freight cars com
Wandered for government service.
This is the car shortage in its relation to
food production here. Is it necessary to
say that the situation is grave? Is it nee
essarv to urge that we become self support
ing instead of importing three-fourths of
cur living from other parts Of the country
For months we have been preaching
stock raising and diversihcation because OF
the money in it, and city gardens because
of the saving; hunger is now the motive.
Every acre not utilized is an invitation to
disaster. Will our people heed the warning
before it is too late2
