Worked for o. S.-Money to r. G.

It was learned this week that the
treasury of the Stevens County
Chapter has been enriched by $S5
donated by c. R. Wollthan. secre-
tary of the Stevens County draft
board. Mr.. Wollthan has put in an
enormous amount of time for the
United States in all the work there
has been in connection with the reg
istration, classifying and calling of
men into military service. This work
was done without any expectation
of remuneration, and when he re-
Gently received a check from the I'm

his face. OF every one he asked the
same question.
Had they seen his wife? Her
name was Henrietta. She had be-
come separated from him the night
before when the refugee train left
Amiens. Were they sure they hadn't
seen her? All the rest of his life he
would search for her. The loss of
home, farm and whole life's work
could be borne. But the loss of ones

That is too much he told me.
cover in one corner sat a couple,
who passed the four score mark in
years. They squatted on their bun
dies, huddled close together. They
never spoke. Just stared straight
ahead. 1t seemed that all the misery
of ages had gathered in their eyes.
There was the hopelessness of per-
son condemned to death, the horror
and mercilessness of war, and the re-
signation that Christ must have car
ried in his eyes on the march of
Calvary.
Cali day this couple had sat in the
station with the bundles Of other re-
fugees. They had been fed by the
Red Cross soup kitchen which had
been established just across the

Mr.. Wollthan has not only done
the vast amount OF routine work in
connection with the registration,
classifying and calling OF men in ex-
cellent shape. but he has also gone
out Of his way to attend to the COM
forts Of the boys who were called,
and during the recent calls was espe-

and chocolate had been passed
around. And tonight the Red Cross
was to find shelter for them.
ut was after FIVE o'clock and rain
ing when the Red Cross trucks and
automobiles drew up in front OF the
station for the first load of refugees.
An old school had been found on the
outskirts of the town. A load of
straw had been procured and was
spread on the floor.
mo mattresses could be obtained
and only few blankets.
1.-THE old people and children with
their bags and baskets were lifted in
the cars and whirled away. Trip
after trip the cars made.
"It was dark before the last of the
refugees had been brought to their
quarters for the night The Red
Cross men carried the baggage of
the old people into the old building,
especially feeble ones leaning on their
shoulders.
"All night long the refugees kept
coming into the station. They were
fed and made as comfortable as pos
sible by the Red Cross workers. In
the morning there was train for
the south-the refugees new home

Again the Red Cross cara were lined
up at the old schoolhouse to trans
port the refugees back to the station,
where they were fed and sent on
their way. But more came to take
their places the next day and the
next. So the Red Cross workers
keep their huge coffee and soup ket-
ties boiling night and day"

Must Sell Wood by Cord

In communication from Walter
Scott State Commissioner of Weights
and Measures, we are advised today
that "all wood sold for fuel purposes in
the State of Vermont, with the eXcep-
tions of slabs, edgings, kindlings, clip
pings and other mill waste, shall be
sold by the cord or fraction thereof"
There is practice among many
wood dealers of selling wood by the
load, and from investigations by Mr..
Scott it appears that in many instances
wood sold in this manner costs the pur-
chaser a greet deal more than when
bought by the cord.
In one of the Investigations, wood
priced at $40 cord was found to cost
SIT. if bought by the load. Another
case was reported where a purchaser
buying by the load was paying $40
cord for wood that was priced at $40.
The most disagreeable feature of this
method is that the purchaser has no
method of determining how much con-
stitutes load and though he may think
that he has received short measure he
has no way of knowing. The result
that the department hopes to accomp-
Iish by this ruling, is, to give the public
a standard in order that they may know
that they receive what they pay for
and to enable US to be of service to the
public in case short measure is deliver
ed
A cord should contain 1923 cubic feet
of wood. A cord of 16-inch wood should
contain the equivalent of three piles of
wood four feet high, eight feet long
and sixteen inches wide, cord of
twelve inch wood should contain the

ed at Beeman Academy always since

the Worlds Fair at Chicago, in 1893,
He was Chairman of the Addison
County Republican Convention in 1896,
and of the Republican State Conven-
ton held in Burlington in 1908. He was
Asst Judge of Addison County Court,
from 1908 to 1912
He was Asst Door Keeper of the
Vermont Senate one session and Asst
Secretary of the Body in 1890
He was Chief Clerk in the Secretary
of the State Office in 1902. He was
elected to the House from New Haven
in 1900 by a vote of 2l3 to AZ and was
elected a second time member of the
House in 1916, his vote being l6l to 4.
He was the first man in New Haven to
be thus honored since 1869, when An
nual Elections were in vogue.
During the last Session, Mr.. Dana
was in his seat each day during the long
session and introduced the resolution
which provided that the House should
work on Saturday, He also introduced
five bills, all of which passed both
Houses and were signed by the Cover
nor, one being of special interest to far
mers. 1t was the bill giving the Patrons
Cooperative Fire Insurance Company
power to do business throughout the
state Mr.. Dana was called to the Chair
during the passage of the bill to estab-
lish a Board of Control, which was the
mOSl GACllluS anu vi dludIiS oSCHS VI lhS
whole Session; when for the first time
Speaker Stanley C. Wilson took the
floor to advocate the bill which had
been ordered a third reading, by a vote
Of l13 to Ill and the passage of which
looked doubtful
Mr.. Dana was selected to preside
over the Mock Session which is said to
have been the most successful, ever
held. He was also selected to make the
presentation speech, when the members
presented Speaker Wilson with a gold
watch and chain. His selection was due
to the fact, as stated by the Montpelier
Argus, that he could be heard in all
parts of the large Hall and in the gal
lery overhead
After being in session 100 days, the
last legislature showed their apprecia-
ton of Mr. Dana's worth and ability as
a presiding officer, by eletting him
Speaker when Speaker Wilson was
elected Judge and resigned, by the
handsome vote of al to 65.

villagers to helpin housing the students
is one which all who can should heed,

to the lack of accommodation.

not succumbing to the temptation OF
lowering her standards to let the boys
in. Numerous applications are coming
from boys who have not quite complet-
ed their high school requirements, but
only those qualified for the regular col
lege work are being admitted.

shall be peculiarly well off" with Mr.
Clement in the chair
The margin of 500 votes with which
he has secured the nomination in a
ee-concerned contest is no over
whelming call from the people SO far
from being an index to the support OF
his local-option platform, it is the
very reverse, for the large number OF
votes cast for Darling and Howe, his
two opponents, shows plainly that the
majority of the people Of Vermont are
for the national prohibition amend
ment' Further, at the same primary,
the representatives and senators chosen
were almost without exception pledged
to vote for the amendment,
In the matter of the liquor question
Mr.. Clement has been insisting that the
minority should not rule the majority
Let him heed the fact that he has been
elected by a minority
And for all that he will have our
hearty support in every good work He
has, it may be easily recognized, a
magnificent opportunity of service
ahead of him and if properly embraced
it will brilliantly crown his career.

pains i'll the back or sick headache, diz.
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad Won
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often got irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
q TO neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from

bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensiye; harmless and
