Tho country clubs must close their doors
From early winter until spring,
TO save the coal which does such chores
As running mills and everything.
For months the tired business man
Must golf without the nineteenth hole,
Or else devise another plan
Of keeping NJ and free from dole
But there's n silver lining to
This war cloud swoopng down this way.
And those who have 20 see II through

Nor talk until he strains his vest
To prove his score an cighty-nine
And stlll on sunny days and fair,

The farms of Vermont need labor to
harvest the crops,
The State Department of Agriculture
is giving every possible aid to the far
mer at this critical time.
The boys of the farms have respond
ed to the call of country. They are in
the army, either overseas or making
ready to go.
There are men in every community
OF the state who can give a day a week
or longer to farmers who need the help.
Are you one who can spare that day
or longer time to assist in the harvest?
If you are will you report the fact to F.
Bickford, state farm labor agent, Brad
ford, Vt? Mr.. Bickford makes an ap-
peal to you in the advertising columns
OF this paper, You can perform no
greater patriotic deed than to assist the
farmer during the harvest season.
Will you?
In writing either Mr.. Bckford or
your county agent state the days or
hours you can give.
Regular farm wages will be paid.

Rah, Rah, MIDI!
{ Rutland Herald J

The Herald most cordially congrat
ulates Dr. John NJ Thomas and Mid
dlebury College on the success of the
endowment fund of 100000, raised at
time when the conditions for such
work were decidedly unpropitious,
Ii is no flattery to say that the result
is due in a very large measure to the
personal energy, push and drive of the
hustling president himself, no less than
to the practical and active patriotism
of the 1900 alumni who contributed to
the fund
Keeping the home fires burning in
our American colleges going to be
something of problem during the war,
and The Herald has no sympathy what
ever with the notion that the colleges
ought to go slack in these times of
stress and tension. On the contrary, on
them, just as on our schools, devolves
most important duty in keeping up
morale, training our young men into
high ideals, and providing our army
and navy with picked, trained men, fit
for the great task before them.
Middlebury has done a great part in
that work and is destined to do still
more as the war continues. Hence the
importance of the timely endowment,
which will play an inevitable and val
liable part in the sustenance of the col
lege under severely trying conditions.
Three times three in "Rahs" is not
too much to express the satisfaction of
well-wishers in the happy result, and
Dr. Thomas performance of praise
God, from Whom All Blessings Flow"
on the Mead chimes correctly interprets
the feeling.

Having al the money he needs for

gether big and welcome fund OF con.
graduation and advice His friends
among educational leaders are writing
him in the heartiest and most intimate
way
Says one;-"1 want to send you every
kind Of congratulation that language
can convey on the successful outcome
OF your impossible campaign for the
four hundred thousand dollars, have
long since come to the conclusion that
the only difference between the difficult
and the impossible is that it takes
little longer to achieve the impossible

deficits for the remaining period of the

you can get into some vast solitude
where you can throw aside every
thought of money, college, constituency,
alumni, everything connected with this
drive and really be at resti"
But we imagine DR.. Thomas, over
worked as he has been with the big
drive, is, after the murmuring of the
late Ebert Hubbard, saying to him

tude give me still one big job to keep
me busy" As matter of fact, there is
nothing better than work and a lot of
it if you can stand it, and DR.. Thomas
is fortunate that he can.
He still has the final computation of
the fund to make, and plans an an
nouncement next week as to Just how
much it has gone over the top, together
with fitting appreciation of the sup
port he has received. He began the
drive right, and kept at it big, and will

Is First Man Up In Southern Part Of
County
In a communication handed to The
Register on Wednesday, Pin W. Waite
the we'll known Shoreham merchant
who sat creditably in the state legisla-
ture last year, made official announce
ment of his candidacy for the Office of
senator. His announcement is as fol
lows:
Shoreham, July 3, 1918
To the Voters of Addison County:
! hereby announce that l will be a
candidate of the Republican party for
the Office of county senator to be voted
for at the primaries to he held on the
10th day of September, 1918.
Should | be nominated and elected
it will be my earnest endeavor to sup
port and work for legislation that
would seem to represent the best judg
ment of the majority of the Voters of
Addison County.
P. W. Waite
While there are Others who may enter
the field, Mr., Waite is the first man
from the southern section of the coun-
ty to declare himself openly, A num-
Der of his friends, not only in Shoreham
but in various towns of the county have
urged him to enter the race.
In the legislature last year he worked
particularly for the interest of the far
mers, and can cite a number of mea-
sures in their favor for which he was
partly responsible Among them was
bill which allowed the farmers a lar
ger sum for cattle which were con-
demned on account of tuberculosis, and
he takes some pride in having saved the
state several thousand dollars by revis-
ing the system by which licenses were
posted,
In Shoreham he has been entrusted
with the office of Town Treasurer and
tax collector for several years, and he
was auditor 10 or II years. He is
postmaster of Simonds Lodge, No !
