Wants Bloomington Sales Reported.

Mr.. Editor:
In the columns of the last weeks
issue of your paper I read report of
the sales of thrift and war savings
stamps sold by carriers and other
agents in the various towns of the
county. Now, being an R. F. d.
carrier and delivering mail almost
wholly in said town, give the fol-
lowing report. My sales of thrift
and war savings stamps up to May
20, 1918, amount to $23O.16
In this weeks Monitor if you give
any report please credit Bloomington
with something besides a blank.
do not know how many the other car
riers have sold in town, but no doubt
they have done their bit.
Yours very truly,
Arthur w. Davies,
R. F. D. Carrier, No. 8.
(Reports as given in this paper
are always from official state head
quarters and the editor has no way
of knowing the amount of sales from
other sources. We understand no
accurate reports are possible in
towns where there is no postoffice,
hence no attempt is made to make re-
port at all.)-Ed.

RED CROSS
DRIVE PROGRESSES.
Irasburg First Reported "Over the
Top" Prospects That Every
Branch Will Exceed Quota.

Reports from Red Cross chairmen
in the towns of the county indicate
that the $4,000 quota for Orleans
county will be exceeded and there is
prospect that every apportionment
to branches will be exceeded. Iras-
burg appears to be the banner town,
having gone over it's quota of 1915
by more than $3.50, the total being
more than $685.. East and South AL
bany was the second place to report
the canvass completed and the quota
exceeded. While $3.50 was the
mark set, returns are not all in. and
$165 is raised.
Newport pledges it's quota from it's
war chest. Favorable reports are
received from those in charge of the
work in Glover, in the Missisquoi val
ley, Barton and Westmore. Other
places plan organization and the
canvass later in the week. Certainly
Orleans county will make a record
of which it will be proud. But don't
feel that the duty is done. Everyone
must have an opportunity to do for
the great work of the Red Cross.

The Siren, the Trench
L Guns Again

But the day has been hard, and one drops
asleep at last. Suddenly, corkscrewing into
ones unquiet dream, the siren; then the
French guns-another alerte The cellar?
Ca manque de charme, as the stolid cham
bcrmaid says. One decides for bed, after
making sure that shutters are tight closed
against shrapne), windows wide open
against shock) and coat. shoes, passport,

hour, two hours three hours of unpleasant
noise-the bells! Blessed bells, sober bells
nobody who has not heard them tolling
peace, tolling sleep, through these solemn
nights knows the forttude of the soul of
France.
An early evening alcrte is worth seeing
in the Metro. The current is cut off at the
first signal; the trains stop and dsgorge
their passengers, who mingle with the pop
ulace that flows down from above-mostly
working class families bringing their un-
finished dinners with them dangling their
legs over the platform, they proceed to
finish them, passing the bread and bottle
from hand to hand. The crowd is not light
hearted as it was in early March; it no
longer stops to bring mattresses and pho
nographs; it is less inclined to sing as it
walks the weary way home through the
tunnels to Mont Rouge or Montmartre, and
when the signal comes it makes straight for
bed, Indifferent to the immediate interest
of ruins.
Yet this Partisan people is more than ever
the warm, realistic, indomitabe force
felt on the dark night of the second raid.
Shells do not disperse it, they cause it to
collect, collect in charity to succor the
victims; in curiosity to examine the hole;
in scorn to note how small it is, how
quickly it can be stopped up, and what
wealth it has wasted for the Boche The
