tween Lloyd George and the opposition
to the continuance OF his ministry, the
sympathies of this country would very
naturally be with him. From this dis
tance it is difficult to sec where Eng
land could obtain any other statesman
who could be able to command equal
confidence or any other with the same
resolution and courage to 90 ahead with
the fight against the kaiser 1t is an
other matter if the Lloyd George minis
try has not done all that il was posi-
bic TO do towards winning the war, if
the premier has not made that the par-
amount interest of his ministry. II
would take a great deal to convince the
mind to the contrary. AT all events,
parliamentary row at the present
time is very unfortunate There is row
ing enough with the kaiser to keep ev-
erybody busy. 1t is pretty poor bust
ness to swap horses while crossing tho
stream, ard it hardly seeris as if things
had come to such pass in England as
to make this necessary.

It Is not possible to Judge him as an ar

practice all day long for the sunrise
concert. And before they went to bed
that night and before they even
thought of putting their heads under
their wings, they sent around notices
TO all the birds to be on hand and this
Is how the notices read: First concert

Now that the third Liberty loan cam.
paign is over and Brattleboro is mum
bered among the towns and cities that
exceeded their allotments it ought to
be the duty of local banking officials
to show the federal reserve authorities
how much too higA this town 5 quota
is in proportion to Other towns in the
state. BY some process of computation
not fully understood here BrattIeboro
Is reckoned as being in 4 position to
buy more bonds than any other place
IN Vermont except Burlington and Rut-
land. In fact. Barre, Montpelier, Ben
nington, st. .Iohnsbury and Springfield
should have quotas as large or larger
than ours. Springfield, hustHng war
prosperous community with quota of
Sl44,O0O, saw one resident on the first
day of the campaign buy bonds to the
amount Of $l50000, And it is generally
understood that Montpelier can ALWAYS
depend upon its insurance companies
to buy the whole of that city's al
lotment. The Reformer has not the
slightest wish to see Brattleboro buy
any fewer bonds of future issues than
1t has bought in the past, but it does
contend that the town S quota should
be so established as to make possible
just estimate Of its accomplishment.

VI course great deal of the time they
work hard at the trees, burrowing for

the most important Of all, were the

Mr.. Robin Redbreast was the leader
or the band. He waved little stick
IN front of the band stand, which was
up In a tree.
How they all did play and sing Now
IN great many bands, in fact in most
bands, they do not have singing, but
In the WOodpeckers' band it is entirely
different.
What would band be like in bird
land without singing? They would
miss all the beautiful songSters who
would add so much music, and that
would be such pity.
80 the woodpeckers were wise in
deed when they asked the song birds to
join in the band
Such practice as they did have
1t was their very first one of all. and
OF course there were many mistakes
made.
Mr.. Robin Redbreast made them
practice certain parts over and over
again until they had them quite per
feet
/. They sang in parts, too, Hike Ehey
do in great big grown-up choruses.
First there would be little solo for
an oriole and then one part alone for
Mr.. Nhippoorwill. and big chorus in
which they would all join
And through it all the woodpecker
family and their relations beat the
drums. What good time they did
keep-quite the best OF bird time. and
Mr.. Robin Redbreast was delighted
It's quite the best band of any sea-
son. he said. I'm sure we'll give
fine concerts. But we must practice.

Il should think we might give con-

Windham and Windsor counties take
justitiable pride in the fact that owing
to the voluntary enlistments they were
relieved from the necessity of contrib
uting to the next draft quota. This
does not mean, however, that further
contribution in man power will not soon
be called upon. When the bill to base
draft quotas on the number of regis
trants i'll class No !, rather than on
state population. becomes a law it will
carry no provision for credits for vol
untary cnlistmcntS From a military
point of view the obligation to service
rests upon the qualified registrant and
tins obligation should not be affected
because Others below or above draft ace
have seen fit to volunteer. If the Amer
