Sales Of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps in Vermont
to June %, 1918
AS Reported to the State Dis
tributor of War Savings

| The activities of our campaign are
clearly shown by the remarkable in
crease in sales for the week ending
June 29th-$4O6,767 .56 as compared
with $57 ,SO463 for the previous week
; The five leading counties are Gale
donna, Rutland, Washington, Wind
sor and Bennington, in the order
named.
The ten towns having the highest
, per capitas are GrOtOn, Danv1lle,
Lyndon, Montpelier, Waterbury.
Fairlee, Woodstock, Glover, Ryegate +,
and Royalton.
These figures, together with pledg-
es made for future purchases, are
most gratifying and the county and
town chairmen and their various com
mittees are to be congratulated upon
the result of their efficient work. We
must not, however, consider the bat
tie won until each town has actually
purchased it's quota. Special effort
must be made to see that pledges al
ready secured are fulfilled and new
pledges should be secured where pos
sible. The best is none too good
for Vermont and it should be our aim
to place her at the very top Of the
list.

Says: The RAT-SNAP which
purchased from the Goshen Hard

mice on my property and can truth
fully state that I couldn't detect the

mend it to all property holders, for it
surely does all they claim for it, and
more too. adv.

Bob White, that elusive little chap
that will make the huntsman go miles
to bag him and who has been pro-
tected by low in certain periods OF the
year from molestation, is amenable to
kindness. Some may not believe this
because experience has taught most
hunters that quiet and caution is an
essential in hunting quail If you would
shoot any.

This man when feeding his chickens
last winter was amazed one day to
see seven little feathered visitors join

little fellows could not eat tho corn,
however, and the farmer decided that
they should have something else.
Going to the granary he got some
wheat and mixed this with the chick.
