superintendent of the St. Adams dis

ow, his health has been greatly af-
fccved, and that he has been and is
now hindered and prevented from CO.

MUST UNLOAD IN HURRY.
u. S. Says After 48 Hours Car Users
Must Pay Heavy Demurrage.

The public service commission has
been called upon by Honorable w. G.
McAdoo, director general of rail
road, by a telegram received Tuesday
to cooperate with the government
operation of railroads in the matter
of relieving the shortage of freight
cars.
The Vermont commission has
pledged Mr.. McAdoo it's utmost coop
Grafton in cndeavoring to alleviate
this situation so far as Vermont is
concerned. The Vermont commission
is requesting this newspaper to give
full publicity to the new demurrage
order which goes into effect Jan. 21.
This order, which is issued by Di-
rector General McAdoo and approved
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, provides for 4S hours free time
in loading and unloading freight
cars The demurrage for the first
day thereafter is $500 per car which
increases at the rate of $1.00 addi-
tional for each succeeding day until
the limit of $1,000 is reached where
the rate remains stationary for each
day thereafter. While two days free
time is allowed, if shippers can cut
this in two and release cars in "a
hours or less, it should be done. The
immediate release of freight cars
should be made the paramount mat
ter of endeavor by every shipper. A
circular letter calling these facts to
the attention of the shippers and
urging their cooperation is being cir
culated by the Vermont public ser
vice commission.

A New Stanza for "America." :"

Mrs. C. S. Emery of Newport, a
member of the woman's committee of
the Council of National Defence, is
sending to ministers and others in the
county a new verse which DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw says "has been sent to
US from Canada, where it is sung at
the close of every gathering of wom-
en-, and also at family prayers. It is
urged by the Canadian women that
we take it up here and make it our
habit to sing it after America"
Here are the words:
God save our splendid men;
Send them safe home again,
God save our men.
Make them victorious;
Faithful, and chivalrous;
They are so dear to us
God save our men.

Somewhere in France.
Dear Aunt, Gerald and All:
l wrote you a letter sometime ago,
when we first landed, but the more 1
think of it l doubt if you ever got it,
so I'll write again. / hope you are
all as we'll as you can possibly be
and that everything is going well on
the farm. I am feeling pretty well,
so please don't worry about me, for
if anything does happen you'll hear
right away. We greatly miss our
"sweet stuff" so if you would like to
send me anything, please send me
some chocolate or maple sugar or
something like that. l am just crazy
for sweets.
There isn't much / can write, so I
have to close pretty soon, but this at
least will let you know am alive and
well. Do you suppose you could send
me some R. G. gloves and a helmet? I
had a helmet but someone stole it.
Write just as soon as you get this
and tell me all the news. A happy

as often as ye eat this bread and
drink this cup we proclaim the Lords
death till he come" He spoke of our
| ingratitude and forgetfulness OF

sary special occasions, and markers
were to help us remember the impor-
tant ordinances of which the Lords
| Supper was the most precious and
should be the most carefully observ-
ed.
Rev. w. A. Warner spoke in the
evening to a union congregation from
Hosea Glib, "When Ephraim saw his
sickness and Judah saw his wound
then went Ephraim to Assyria and
sent to King Jareb, but he is not able
to heal you, neither will he cure you
of your wounds" He brought out
very forcibly the Importance of seek
ing help from God rather than any
other source. Showed how Israel was
punished for this. Said neglect of
duty means loss of power. If life
were too smooth we got careless. We
! would only find rest in Christ.

SECRETARY LANES COMMENTS

Secretary Of the Interior Lane, who
has charge of Alaskan affairs, COM
menting on the 1917 record made by
Alaska said:
"The results at this time, with a
greater part of the world hungry, are
most gratifying. Alaska has an ener-
getic, patriotic population which un-
derstands fully what the war means,
although so far removed from the seat
of action. Every citizen is enlisted
in the effort to increase production,
knowing that this is the greatest good
Alaska can accomplish. The results
last year show the effect of organized,
patriotic action. This year will yield
far greater results"
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1918-03-20
REINDEER MEAT AVAILABLE

Alaska will soon be in position to
supply reindeer meat, according to the
Seattle Post Intolligcncer, which gives
figures from the annual report of the
federal bureau of education for Alas
ka. The first reindeer were imported
from Siberia in 1892, and in June,
1916, Alaska had IS herds of reindeer,
numbering 82,151. 1t is now thought
that there are nearly 100000 availa-
BILE, and the exploitation of reindeer
meat will be undertaken on a larger
scale The coming season. Reindeer
have given the Alaskan Indians an in
dustry and made many of them pros
porous. An Indian serves one year
as an apprentice with a herd of rein
deer, and then receives six reindeer
for himself. White men have lately
entered the industry at Nome Rein
deer fairs are held annually like cat
tie shows.
