the Woman's Home Companion:
One of the fashions that Is being
swept away by the war is the habit of
decrying America and the Americans.
We and the rest of the world have ac-
cepted our reputation az careless,
superficial, money grabbing nation, the
spoiled child among world powers.
Now we are learning that we have a
different quality. capacity for voiun-
tarv sacrifice, and the discovery ~
equally surprising to ourselves and to
the rest of the world. The type of
sacrifice that America has evidenced IS
never meager, never grudging, but IN
stead the fine, high, almost gay gift of
a child, giving of its possessions to
friend: Il don wantit you take 1t,

1t is hoped that local health cond-
tons will be such that medical men
throughout the state will be able TO
attend the annual meeting of the state
medical society. At that gathering a
representative of the provost marshal
general s Office and an officer on duty
at Camp Devens will speak on various
phases of army medical examination
subject in which every physician con-
nected with Vermont's draft machin-
cry ought to be sufficiently interested
to learn about. The percentage OF
Vermont draftees who have been ac
cepted by local boards only TO be re
jected by camp officials is perhaps nc
larger than that of other states, but
it is altogether too large and its re
duction is q war necessity.

CARRY ON.

Edward Moran was one of thousands
of sturdy American lads who have given
their lives for the preservation of civ
ilization on this carth-lads equally
heroic whether death came to them on
the field of battle, at sea or in camp.
To say that there is anything about
his death more tragic than those of
the many other boys who have en-
barked upon the Great Adventure would
be selfish and unjust. He Jared forth
checrfully in the service of his country,
ready to do his part wherever it was
to be rolnd, hopeful that it would lie
in the very thickest of things-just as
so many other boys have done. And
his service was none the less devoted
because, as in the case of so many
others, its earthly end came so soon
Yet intimate acquaintance with this
upright, sincere, clcan-minded lad impels
tribute to those characteristics which
so endearcd him to his friends. And
with tho tribute is expressed the hope
that in thus hoEoring his memory VIC
may be understood as saying only what
should be said of all the others of tho
glorious company he has gone to join.
The sacrifice he and the others hav,
madc-the sacrifice so many of ou
boys are making every day-should bo

'Where?" they all asked. "In this

Eyes, in this swamp, but the ban

"Oh, such an honor" breathed the
Button Bush flowers.
The button bush flowers are very
numerous. There are just hundreds
of flowers on every button bush-but
there is no special reason for the name
of the button bush flowers unless it
might be that they are like little but

Still, if that were the case, what
would one do about the big buttons
The button bush flowers aren't like the
big buttons one often sees, and more
often wears.
So, really, there is no special reason
for such a name. But the name has
little to do with the button BUSH Very
little indeed.

one of these flowers is filled with the
most delicious honey.
'When is the banquet to begin?"
asked one little flower.
''In a very short time" said the
Button Bush. Patience, though, lit
tie flowers. The guests will come
soon.'
'Who are the guests to be-" asked
the flowers.
'All the little insects of the swamp"
said the Button Bush.
"Oh, goodie!" they said. at will be

great and gay banquet" And they all
looked very happy.
AT last the guests began to arrive,
and once they had started to come it
seemed as though they would never
stop. OF course they held banquets
every day in the swamp, and many
times day, but this was a very spe-
cial banquet.
One little insect was seated upon
the edge of a tiny button bush flower
"Will you tell me a secret?" asked
the insect.
"What is it?" asked the flower.
"Ah, it's a secret you all have; but

continued care viii prevent the local
situation from becoming worse. In
view of the prevalence of influenza
throughout this section, however, it
would seem mistake to resume normal
activities too soon. The advantages
which apparently have been gained by
acting promptly would go for naught
in such an event. 1t is for the health
officials to say, in the light of their
best judgment, when it is time to open
up again, and for the rest of us to
abide cheerfully by their decision.
An encouraging feature of the emer-
gency brought about by the grip cpl
demic is the splendid response to the
call for volunteer workers. "I'H dc
what | can,' is the answer that scores
of women have made to the appeal
and they are doing it resoluteiy, many
of them at some risk to their owl
health. In view of this response it i:
not too much to hope that Brattle

The War Industries Board, in its efforts
to conserve the paper supply, has ruled that
newspapers must stop all subscriptions
IMMEDIATELY UPON EXPIRATION.
This means that SUBSCRIBERS must keep
their subscriptions PAID IN ADVANCE
in order to be certain of getting The Re-
former regularly. Notice of expiration of
subscription is always sent in advance; do
not neglect 1t and then blame the publisher
for what is your own fault.
