Frederick's portrayal of a woman

the coast for docks at the ports we

you have to write all over a sheet of

I have saddle horse to ride part
of the time, a real bed to sleep in, up
in town. We can buy most anything
we want, although prices are pretty
high.
A lot of the men were not as lucky
as we were although most Of us wish
ed we were back home after that four
days ride in the train on corned beef

The women here do all the farm
work and farming equipment here is
about SO years back. All the men
are at the front and it is much diff

years ago. I would like to describe
the life boat drill on the ship and the
French railways but they are too
much for the English language and
my French is pas bon.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Road Patrol Work.

One does not have to "see" the
highway patrol at work to know
where one is employed. The "feep
of the road is sufficient proof that a
patrol man is, or is not, on duty. The
Caledonian is more and more convinc-
ed that maintenance is the essential
point now with the average trunk line
highway. AS a usual thing careful
attention to keeping the surface of
water is more important than large
attention to small details will often
obviate the necessity for much work
of great proportions.-St. Johnsbury

VERMONT NOTES.

Traffic on Lake Champlain is about
one-half what it has been in former
years. So far as passenger traffic
goes that is just what the govern
ment want, for it believes the people
of the country should stay at home
attending to business instead Of trav-
cling for pleasure.
Adjt. Gen. H. T. Johnson has re-
ceived word from Camp Wadsworth
that the 57th Pioneer Regiment (the
old First Vermont) has moved in the
camp to point which gives it more
space than it has enjoyed. This will
give it a chance to expand and is TAX
en- to mean that it is to be recruited
shortly to war strength. The regi-
ment is now composed of a little over
400 men, some SIS officers.
MorristoWn boasts of one super-pa-
triotic man, James M. Kelley, for
many years it's popular station agent.
He succeeded, notwithstanding the
age limit, in getting into service with
the Vermont National Guard, on the
Rio Grande, but failed to get into any
military or naval service in this great
war, though he has repeatedly tried
to do so. He is in New York now,
taking the examinations at Columbia
university for Y. M. C. A. work over
seas. If he passes and is accepted,
he will go without pay, only his ex-
penses-salary he refuses. When it
is considered that he has just had a
big raise in his pay as station agent
at Morrisville, the measure of his
loyalty can be taken. His only son,
Maurice, is in the service. His wife
will go if they will accept her for any

A STITCH IN TIME
Barton People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may
be warning you of approaching drop
sy, gravel or Bright's disease. Kid
ney disease is seldom fatal if treated
in time, but neglect may pave the
way. Don't neglect lame or aching
back another day. Don't ignore dizzy
spells, headaches, WEAKNESS or de-
preston. If you feel you need kid
ney help begin using the reliable,
time-tried remedy, Doan's Kidney
Pills. For SO years Doan's have been
found effective. Endorsed by Barton
people.
Mrs. w. H. Alexander, High St.,
Barton says: "Some time ago I
suffered with severe backache
which was brought on, think, by
over doing at my housework. l suf-
fered considerably with sharp pains
when I bent over or Strengthened. l
heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and
started to use them. Several boxes
of this medicine cured me of the
trouble"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

One liquor raid like that in Ben
nington doesn't prove that license
towns have as many illegal booze
joints as dry places, but it don't help
the argument that licensed dealers
will see to it that illegal joints are
kept out. We don't like to say it
but when a half dozen unlicensed
places in a license town the size of
Bennington all keep a large stock Of
selected booze on hand, common sense
teaches one that Bennington's license
holders were knowing to the fact, as
well as many of Bennington's first
citizens" and public officials. The at
titude of the Bennington people and
the Bennington police proves it. 1t
is rather an unsavory mess for Ben
nington but a decided compliment to
state officials who took vigorous steps
to clean up Bennington. The ques-
ton is, will Bennington stay clean or
will the sentiment Of the people al
low repetition of the offense?

There's something radically wrong
with the man who isn't welcome at
home.
Everybody who owns q car admits
that the worst driver in the world is
the other fellow.
Some fellows idea of helping to win
it won't last much longer.
Some men will give almost anything
you ask Of them to a good cause ex-
cept their own time and effort.
Sometimes we get to wondering just
what kind Of war it would be if the
tightwads had the running of it.
Now that SO many states have gone
dry we have the unusual spectacle of
a man beating it home to get drink.

There is more Catarrll in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local rene

with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

Vermont Ahead of Massachusetts,.

A traveller in Vermont marks the
contrast between the people of YER
mont and Massachusetts in regard to
their appreciation of the war and the
readiness of the people to do their
share in the war. Vermont is quoted
as far ahead of Massachusetts. Es-
pecially is the attitude Of young
women marked in the vicinity of Bos-
ton and other large cities. Our peo-
pie do not realize sufficiently for what
they are fighting. They sickle too
much for epaulets and gold braid and
things of that sort. Just as fast as
our people become convinced of the
urgency of pushing the war to an end
have our boys home again and be cut
ting off our national expense of $780,
100000 day.-Greenfeld Recorder.
State Politics.
A careful reading of our state ex-
changes for the past week shows an
increasing interest in state politics,
following the announcement of the
candidacy of Frank E. Howe, as the
following CONVERSATIONS will show:
The Rutland News says it is doubt
full If Howe can win against Darling,
"whose regularity Of record as a
staunch Republican, cannot be ques-
toned.
The Rutland Herald says glove
an opponent and on a non-f financial
basis. This is novelty which many
people may appreciate"
The Burlington Clipper dubs one
candidate as "Nobody's Darling" and
says Burlington has a dozen men
more deserving Of the honor, naming
Guy w Bailey, Joe Flint, etc.
The Bristol Herald says "Mr. Howe
is in every way qualified to fill the Of
flee and would make an executive who
would do things"
The Montpelier Argus notes that
petitions in favor of Darling are be-
ing circulated in Orange county and
not meeting with a favorable recep-
ton.
The Mortified News replies to this
by saying the Argus man had better
get out and look around bit. Per-
haps Bro. Parsons circulated the pc
titions in Orange county, he is SO pos
tive.
The Mortified News intimates that
Mason S. Stone is a candidate for
lieutenant governor and likely to be
The Ludlow Tribune is favorably
impressed with Mr.. Howe's platform
especially his belief in the develop
ment of Vermont along progressive
lines. 1t notes that he is not lacking
in patriotism or loyalty and fully
realizes the duty of every citizen in
this world crisis. That he will devote
his entire time to the service of the
state if elected, also impresses the
Tribune.
The Brattleboro papers are strong
ly inclined towards Mr.. Howe, who is
Windham county boy and very ia
vorably known to the people, "He
will easily carry this county against
Darling"
The Bellows Falls Times likes both
men but seems to think the people
of that end of the state prefer Mr..
Howe.
The Barton Monitor says the COM
ing political contest in Vermont is to
be between the old "stand pat" and
the progressive Republicans with
Darling the candidate for governor of
the first and Howe of the second
Morrisville Messenger.
