ed early closing of the through service
on Lake Champlain and Lake George

ed early closing Of the through service
on Lake Champlain and Lake George
this year. the autumn leaves in no res
spect differed from summer leaves.
But the scenery along Lake Champlain
Is not dependent on brightly coloreC
foliage for its beauty and, as Is the
case every year., many who on Saturday
watched the shifting panorama Of
sparkling water, fertile fields inc tow.
ering mountains, wondered why they al.
ways wait until the last day of the sea-.
son before taking the trip.
Among the passengers Saturday were
a number Of pupils from a parochial
school in St. Adams, with several Of the
Sisters in charge and accompanied by
the Rev. D. j. O'Sullivan. rector Of st.
Mary's Church.. On the return trip
from Montcalm Landing these young
people gathered on the upper deck and
lifted up their voices In song. When
the Star Sangled Banner" was reached,
1t being the near anniversary Of the day
on which it was written by Francis
Scott Key. the excursionists arose from
their chairs, the men uncovered heir
heads. the women stopped their knit
ting and the steamer itself responded
with several blasts Of the whistle.
This whistle. by the way. was kept
busy on the return trip in answering
the farewell salutes from other craft,
camps and homes along the lake. At
each port the genial Captain Rockwell.
81 years young. stepped ashore to shake
hands with dock masters and attend
ants. paying particular attention to the
children who have greeted the steamer
and Its crew daily during tho summer.
Because of a large consignment Of tim
Der for Montcalm Landing and some
heavy freight for and from other ports.
the steamer did not reach Burlington,
returning, until after six o'clock. The
T~iconderoga completed the Vermont's
trips to P~lattsburEh and the Vermont
has gone to Shelburne harbor Until next
May, leaving the Ticonderoga the only
passenger steamer on the lake until the
close of navigation.

NATIONAL ANTHEM DAY.
Salute OF Fl Guns Fired Mt All Posts,

The Star Spangled Banner'' was
signally honored throughout the country
Friday morning. Every soldier in America
in cantonment. camp and post stood at
attention at $50 a. m. as cannon doomed
twenty-one times, celebrating the ami
versary Of the birth Of the national
anthem.
Orders to that effect were sent out by
the war department at the request Of Mrs.
Nat S. Brown Of St. Louis. national
president Of the Children of America
Loyalty League. In st. Louis. the ma
tional presidents home city. 1O7. 900 school
children stood at attention and sang the
Star S~pangled Banner in honor OF the
anniversary. Mrs. Brown took the initia-
tive in requesting the war department to
pay special tribute to the anthem.
Francis Scott Key wrote the ''Star
Spargled Banner on September IA. 1871,
after the battle at Fort McHenry.
The firing of the salute at Fort Ethan
Allen was plainly heard in this city and
caused considerable speculation as to IL
cause.

to enter from time to time up to the first
Of October and sometimes later. SO that
1t Is expected that the registration at the
school this year will reach the 600 mark
at least. and 1t is probable that the at

CONSERVATION OF COAL
Critical Conditions Confront New

Committee Appeals to Vermont
Dealers.
o the Citizens of New England:

To the Citizens Of New England:
Goal is essential to the successful pros
ecution of the war. Every available
pound can be put to use. 1t Is the pa
triotic duty of every citizen to avoid
waste of coal and consider how his coal
requirements can be reduced.
New England In particular is confront
ed by a most critical situation. Two
thirds Of New England's coal supply
normally comes by water. Many vessels
engaged in carrying coal to New Eng
land ports have. however, already been
taken by the government, and more will
have to be surrendered for government
service as the war goes on. Our railroads
are now burdened to the limit of their
capacity and annot take care Of the ex-
ira load thus thrown upon them. With
thes limitations upon our transportation
facilities comes the greatest demand for
coal ever known In New England. Under
these circumstances every New England
coal user must help.
We ask all householders: (A.) Not to
use coal for heating before the first Of
November. or after the first Of May. I'M
less the house temperature is below 90 de-
gree. (B.) To burn wood wherever
possible. Co. To use small oil heaters
when II is necessary to keep certain parts
Of the house at a special temperature.
(D.) To reduce the coal used in the
stoves. Do your cooking at n part Of
the day. Use wood whenever you can.
(E.) To be economical with gas; and
with electricity where It is generated by
confusing plants. Turn off house lights
when not needed. II only for a few mo-
ments.
We ask those who control office build
ings, hotels. apartment houses: a. MOI
to use coal for heating before the first
Of November or after the first of May,
unless the temperature Of the building
Is below 90 degree. (B.) Not to heat
buildings in excess Of 6 degrees. Co. To
bank fires at all practicable times. and
when building is to be only partially
used to turn off heat wherever feasible.
Business buildings not used after 800 p.
m. should bank fires at 400 p. m.
CD To reduce to the barest necess-
made electricity.
The times call for more han usual
skill and care In putting coal into stoves
and furnaces. Feed sparingly. Instruc-
tions are being prepared which will help
you get the most heat out Of your coal.
