Summer Residents.

Every year there seems to be an in
creasing number of people who spend
the summer in Vermont This is a
most encouraging feature of the sum-
mer business. Tourists who stay a
few days or weeks are desirable visi-
tors, but the summer resident is a
greater asset Greensboro is an eX-
cellent illustration of the value of
the best type of a summer colony and
it is said to be the largest in the
state. About $50 cottages have been
built around Lake Caspian, in addi-
ton to hotels and boarding houses,
and not far from 5000 people come to
this charming spot every summer.
Most of the heads OF these families
are professional men. teachers,
preachers, lawyers, judges. physic-
ians, and few business men, who
come to Vermont for rest and recrea-
has had very wholesome effect up
on this little village, because they
have taken a helpful interest in local
affairs. Greensboro is more enter
prising village and has broader out
look because the people of the sum
mer colony have been good neigh
bors.
This does not mean that our little
villages are benighted communities
that need to be 'uplifted" by hands
of missionaries. 1t is true, however,
that there are few of our Vermont
towns that may not be helped by the
kindly interest of visitors who are in
touch with the world of education
and affairs. There is no limit to the
opportunities afforded for the estab-
lshment of summer homes and sum-
mer colonies beside our lakes and
streams and on the far stretching
slopes OF our Green mountains. Much
of this land is not available for cult
walton but it never fails to produce

a BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR
Boys and Girls on School Strike In
New York.

New York, Oct. 22.--Between ten
thousand and fifteen thousand boys
and girls from the public schools in
Brownsville, Jewish section in
Brooklyn refused to enter their class
rooms this morning and paraded
through the streets with banners
bearing inscriptions reading; 1--WE
Want Socialism," I'VE Want Sugar;
Down With the High Cost of Liv-
ing" and Down With the Gary sys-
tenn
All the police reserves in the dis
trict were summoned to the school
houses. While the demonstration
was looked upon as n continuation of
the disorders which attended the
children's protests against the Gary
system of instruction in various parts
of the city last week, the school auth
critics and politicians today were In
terested in the economic develop
ments in the Brownsville affair.
Heretofore the Gary system alone
has been the apparent object of the
children's attacks, the Gary plan, one

The remnant of the First Vermont
regiment now in camp at Westfield
contains less than 800 men yet this
little group of Vermont soldiers has
bought Liberty Bonds to the amount
of $4,000, an average of more than
500 per man, and have assigned one
third of their pay for ten months
to pay for the bonds. Is there any
group of people anywhere that has
done better? Doesn't it rather put
us folks at home on our honor to do
something more than we have yet?
Or shall we sit back at our ease and
let our boys fight the battles atnd
pay the bills also? Tomorrow is
Liberty day and good many Of us
can do little more than we have
done in behalf of our country and
our country's honor.

Are Women Naturally pespondenta

While there are women who seem
always Respondent and depressed
and expecting misfortune, that is not
woman's natural condition. Such un-
fortunates suffer from ill-health. An
abnormal condition OF the system
expresses itself in nervousness, Sleep
lessness, backaches, headaches and
dependency.
If all ailing women would make
faithful use of that grand remedy for
woman's ills, Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, there would be
little occasion to ask If dependency
is natural to woman.

to give them the market value of
this doclIage, less the cost of clean
ing. The way to secure this regula-
ton is to form an organization so
strong that its demands will COM
mand attention. The Farmers
Union offers the nucleus of such an
organization. 1t already has a large
membership in the nation and in the
Pacific Northwest and has demon
strated its power and worth in many
localities If all the farmers would
join and Loyalty support it, the
Union could save each one of them
every year many times the amount
of their dues. It's representatives
could command Il respectful hearing
at Washington and their just de-
mands would be needed.
Unless the farmers organize solid
ly and promptly they are going to be
heavy losers during the war and the
period of reimbursement which will
follow the return of peace.

SOME CONSOLATION

In the New York Times. Arthur
Guy Empey, author of over the
Top offers TO relatives and friends
OF American soldiers the comforting
statement that this war is not as bad
as it is made out to be In the first
place, Empey says. a brigade of
troops ordinarily spends 80 days in
the first zone" and then goes TO the
rear to spend am equal length of time
in rest billets"s where it is in prac-
tically no danger whatever except
from stray and infrequent shells.
During this period the men have lit
tie to do except amuse themselves
and the soldier-authOr speaks of it
as time which most men enjoy
thoroughly. During their 80 days in
the first zone" the men spend two
or four days in the front-line
trenches and four or eight days in
the rear trenches. In either case
only one-third of this time is spent in
the most exposed position.
To summarize this, then, out of a
year of life at the front six months
is spent in a situation where the sol
dier's chances of a violent death are
not as great as they would be if he
were pursuing a peaceful avocation
amid the speeding motor cars of
fair-sized city OF the six months
which he actually spends in the
trenches only two months are spent
where the danger is greatest Only
cne-sixth of all his time. therefore,
is spent where the horrors of which
the trench stories tell. fall thickest.
And even there in the foremost
trenches the horrors do not attain
this thickness except at intervals,
which are often long. The situation
is bad enough at its very best, but it
is by no means as bad as We have
lately, by morbid brooding on it,
brought ourselves to believe. Those
who are sending forth the men they
love would do well to keep this in
mind and TO remember also that in
finitely more men come home unhurt
than are killed or even wounded in
action. Waterbury American.

of mysterious performances, which
created all sorts of gossip along the
water front Two fires and q wreck
comprise the damage done thus far.
A lighter laden with steel and be-
longing to the McAllister Bros. Tow
ing Co, caught fire early today and
the deckhouse was ablaze before the
watchman turned in an alarm. The
pier was threatened with destruction
until the fireboats William J. Gaynor
and Seth Low arrived and towed the
burning lighter away. The lighter is
a complete loss.
Another fire started at o'clock this
morning. in the cargo OF cotton
barge moored to the pier about fifty
feet from where the McAlister lighter
was burned A Standard Oil tug and
q Pennsylvania tug got the blazing
barge away from the pier and towed
it into the bay, where the Seth Low
drowned out the fire. Part Of the
cotton was destroyed.
While everybody was busy with the
cotton barge fire a lighter laden with
$500 bags of flour and tied to the
pier about midway between the land
and the outer end mysteriously slip
ped away from her mooring lines.
Wind and tide carried her against the
bulkhead at the head of the pier. A
big hole was stove in the hull and
the lighter sank before anything could
be done.
