Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out In his

''for the Secretary of the Navy"
If I had only preserved the whole
Of this paper, there would be no break
in the beginning of my sketch of this
story. For Captain Shaw, il it was he,
handed it to his, successor in the
charge, and he to his.
The rule adopted on board the ships
on which have met 'The Man without
a Country" was, / think, transmitted
from the beginning. No mess liked to
have him permanently, because his
presence cut off all talk of home or of
the prospect of return, of politics or
letters, of peace or Of war--cut off
more than half the talk men like to
have at sea. But 1t was always
thought too hard that he should never
meet the rest of us, except to touch
hats, and we finally sank into one sys-
tenn. He was not permitted to talk
with the men unless an officer was by.
With officers he had unrestrained in
tercourse, as far as they and he chose.
But he grew shy, though he had favor
ties: was one. Then the captain
always asked him to dinner on Mon
day, Every mess in succession took

of potatoes from one planting of seed

Orleans county's war convention at
Newport Thursday was a success
While the opera house would have
seated more people fully 600 of our
citizens listened to some straight
war doctrine which brought tears at
times, laughter at other times, and
wild cheering at still other places in
the addresses. But everyone went
away impressed with the solemn idea
that we are at war with foe which
is still formidable, and that every in
dividual has vital part to play in
winning. One speaker put it this
way, "The CLINT of the knitting needle
and the bayonet is to win this war"

Through the efforts of A. w. Gould
quite an herb business has been de-
veloped in Swanton. This season Mr.
Gould planted ten acres of sage and
is now drying his crop in a specially
constructed dry-house. He began
the business three years ago, but
planted an increased acreage this
year. Skullcap has been gathered in
the marshes of Swanton and sent to
the city markets for several years,
but this year the crop was nearly a
failure because of the wet weather.
Catnip is also gathered and shipped
by Mr.. Gould. He has had previous

Gates that the place is emerging from
the errors Of it's past administration

the Monitor unjust in what it said
during the past legislature about this
school but the fact that the place was

The following appeared in the Or
leans County Monitor of Barton, I'M
der date of October 10, as one num-
Der of the program of the Barton
Afternoon Study club:

Lucy Atanasoff."
Righteous Indignation on the part
Of some woman reader led her to call
the matter to the attention of Editor
Gilpin who dismissed it with publica-
tion of her letter, captioned Thinks
Barton Club Unpatriotic."
And don't you think so, too, Mr..
GiIpin? And why don't you see that
Barton does something about it?
Is the Monitor rightly named if it
should let slide without proper cas-
LEGATION so grave matter as this rs! IN! m
Dictated reasonable propaganda IN its
own home town ?-Middlebury Regis
ter.
Dear me, Mr.. Register Man, don't
get excited. You came from New
York, the home of DR.. Lyman Alb
bott and the Outlook, and it was the
Outlook that suggested this subject.
The Outlook recently gave an out
line of study of current events
worthy of discussion by clubs such as
the Afternoon Study club of Barton.
The club thought it safe to follow
the Outlook and DR.. Lyman Abbott.
The Register must admit that had
not Germany ruthlessly invaded Bel
GUM and thus incensed the nations
of the world, who flew to her defense
and relief, the German military ma
chine would have undoubtedly crush
ed France and Russia, and in all
probability Great Britain. And what
would have followed such a stroke
may we'll be imagined. AS it is Bel
GUM was the stumbling block over
which the German armies fell, arts
ing just too late to carry out well-laid
plans of world conquest. Belgium
invasion is the pivot about which this
gigantic struggle between autocracy
and democracy has swung. Belgium
invasion is the thing that has brought
the mighty hosts of democracy to-
gether in a death embrace with mill
tarism. Belgium invasion started
war which will end by giving the
world freedom. Belgium invasion
started a war which will crush mill
tarism. Who dares say that the Ger
man invasion of Belgium will not
have aided the worlds civilization
more than it has harmed it?
Belgium suffered humiliation,
crime, agony, bloodshed, starvation
and perhaps death, but the world will
gain freedom. This is the line of
thought developed by writer's and
speakers before it was discussed by
the Barton Afternoon Study club.
IF the Barton Afternoon Study club
is unpatriotic so are DR.. Lyman Alb
bott and the Outlook, and other
prominent speakers and thinkers
The women of the Barton Afternoon
Study club are as loyal as the women
of Middlebury, and the stir caused by
their discussion Of really worth
while, broad-guage, educational top
ic shows rather narrow thinking on
the part Of those who pretend to be-
lieve there was disloyalty among
them.
