CHICKASHA HAS SOME BOND SLACKERS SAYS SLUSHER

When seen this morning, VIM. II.
Donahue, chairman of the Fifth Ok
lahoma district, said "About the only
statement | have to make in connec.
ton with the Third Liberty loan, is
that cannot understand why the
committees are taking week or two
weeks to finish their quota, when it
could have been done in two days.
They all know they must put up the
quota assigned, so why not go ahead
and do it? / like the idea adopted
in Comanche county. Those people
simply said that there would be no
business going on until their quota
was raised, and they kept the stores
locked until the necessary subscnp-
tons were forthcoming.
Why Not Finish 1t?
ut has been necessary for me to
call up several banks in my district
and ask them if they are pro-German,
when it was evident that they were
slow in taking part in the campaign.
This is no time for Stacker and the !
loyal citizens can't stand for them"
Mr.. Donahue reported the following /
from the counties in

Fifteen Children, IA Living at Home

Windham boasts of what is probab-
ly the largest family in western New
England-15 children, eight of them
boys, the eldest Fl years. Town Col
lector and Constable Elias Lewis
Stowell and Mrs. Minnie E. R. Stow
ell are the parents of this interesting
family. The youngest member is
Margaret Irene, who will be three
years old in December. Mr.. Stowell
says that while he will not be able to
fling to the breeze a service flag with
Is stars on it, he can at least have a
family reunion three times a day-at
meal times. Stowell is 43 and his
wife is three years his junior.
Fourteen of the children reside with
their parents. The oldest girl is mar
ried and now lives in Stockbridge
The children are living under the
same roof that sheltered their grand
father and their great-grandfather
This came about by the burning of
the home built by Mr.. Stowell II
years ago. After the fire Mr.. Stow
ell purchased the ancestral home,
where he has reared his large family.
Besides being town constable and col
lector, StoWell has been a member of
the school board for seven years. He
performs all these duties in addition
to his farm work. And just to keep
him busy he is official moderator at
town meetings, overseer of the poor,

President Guy Potter Benton of the
University of Vermont has been
granted years leave of absence to
enable him to continue his Y. M. C..
A. war work in France. He also has
been asked to serve as an army chap
lain.
The campus of the University of
Vermont will be scarcely recognizable
when the opening occurs. A big
building schedule is being put into
effect. In order to increase the
housing accommodations, barracks to
take care of 800 men are being put
up, the structure to be two stories
high, 1876 feet long by 381a feet wide.
An administration building "a by 80
feet will be erected south of the bar
racks. The new drill hall is 21O feet
long by IS feet wide. A new science
liams Science hall, 1O6 by Sc feet,
and will be devoted to radio-electric
work. The dining hall, accommodate
ing now 700, is being made over to
meet winter conditions. The men in
the war training schools number now
about 700 men and when the Uni
versity proper opens there will be 500
more.
In connection with the Selling by
the government authorities of wool
which has been boarded by o. c..
Clement of Corinth for over SO years,
where the authorities found an &C
emulation of about 5000 cubic feet
of wool estimated at nearly 100000
pounds, some of which had been dam
aged by moths and the weather, and
which he refused to sell,-it may be
interesting to note that the Vermont
committee on Public Safety endeav-
ored to induce Mr.. Clement to sell this
wool at market price agreeing that
the wool should be sold without the
payment of any commission, writes
Joseph G. Brown, secretary of the
committee, to this paper. On Mr..
Clements refusal to dispose of his
wool on these terms the Vermont
committee reported the condition to
the authorities at Washington and
Mr. Clement was again advised that
unless he would consent to sell his
wool it would be Communicated and
that the expense incurred would be
deducted from the price Of the wool.
Even under these conditions Mr..
Clement refused to sell his wool, SO
it was seized.
