Patrol Committee.

Something valuable is apt to come
ont of the organization OF the patrol
committee, selected as a result of the
recent meeting of west-side business
men at Manchester
At the head of the committee is J.
B. Wilbur, a business man and an en-
thusiast on good roads, who, by the
way, has built some good roads him
self, and Lucius f. Wilson of East
Dorset, past master of booster move
ments. Associated with them is
Charles A. Simmons, also with wide ex-
perience in putting across commu-
nifty welfare movements.
As The Herald understands it. the
plan is to make the movement state
wide and to embrace not only bet
terroads movement, but to demand q
thorough audit of state finances, an
| improved educational program, uniform
assessment of property and 10 inaugu-
| rate a serious movement for more sheep
| in Vermont to meet the shortage of
meat and wool.
| The Herald has repeatedly advocat
ell better patrol system for our state
roads, and the patrol system applied

idea. If the people of the state pa
trolled their public business little
better, there would be less waste and
ineffieiency in the application of public
money to public needs.
Any body of citizens united upon a
serious purpose is formidable prop
osition under any conditions, but il
they happen to be united on such oh
viously desirable matters as good roads
a business administration, better
schools equitable taxes and more sheer
their influence would probably be OF
the utmost Importance.
It is a good plan not to try for toe
much at one time, because scattered
firing is not effective, but the plans oil
the patrol committee can be stated
broadly under two heads-busines!
methods and sheep. To the first, the
entire Republican state ticket should b,
pledged and in regard to the latter
the farmers of Vermont should b,
asked to choose between dogs ant
sheep.
Mr. Wilbur has started a movemen
that may be of the greatest importanc
to Vermont, and which may focus tn
general notions of the voters and thei
Legislators on few matters which ar
essential.

VERMoNT'S DUTY.
Slightly More Than Half Quota Raised
On War Savings Stamps.

Vermont did splendidly in meeting
its quota to the Fourth Liberty loan,
by approximately three
million dollars. Now comes uppermost
again the duty of meetin" the govern
mcrt S expectation in the purchase of
war savings stamps.
The latest report by the state dis
tributor OF war savings stamps shows
that Vermont has already bought
81. 795. 7G0.J9 worth Of war savings and
thrift stamps, making per capita pur-
chase of Slo.66. That leaves an amount
to be raised only slightly larger than
the oversuhscription on the Fourth
Liberty loan. The ability of Vermont
to ovcrsubscribC that amount indicates
how easily Vermont can make up the
balance needed for the per capita in.
ycstmcnt in war savings stamps
There are Just two months remaining
in which to raise the required per cap
tia OF Vermont Those who pledged
last summer TO purchase certain
amount of the stamps must fulfill those
! pledges and 90 beyond them. Let there
be no uufulillcd pledges. And thos,
who are not pledged must invest to TIT
limit of their ability from now to New
| Years.
The honor and the splendid war re
/ ord of the state of Vermont are a
stake in this matter To maintain on
present position as 18th state in tn
union and eventually to raise the full
amount required of rs by the govern
ment we must put forth desperate eff
forts during the next two months. Tall
lit mp, Don't let Vermont fail in thi
i war savings stamp drive!

They will nominate no candidates, but wi1 deliver the vote to such candidates as carry out their wishes. Labor is the definite question now in England. The trades unionisrs have a tendency.

BASE HOSPITAL
 HAS ORCHESTRA
Fly RosALIE ARMIsTEAD HIGGINS

Fly ROSAL1E ARMISTEAD HIGGINS Montgomery, June 19.-(Special. )-Few Mcntgomerians are aware of the fact tha. the base hospital at Camp Sheridan can boast of beautiful orchestra which will soon be up to symphonic strength and which is known as the Base Hos pital Symphony orchestra. It is unique in the fact that it is the only camp in the country which can boast of such an organization and number of the mem- bers of the orchestra are musicians of note Credit for the establishment of the orchestra is due entirely to the efforts of Major Ross SlSillern of the base hos- pital, who because of his love for good music raised the orchestra man by man. During the early part of the winter the
 base hospital band was one of the best in the Thirty-seventh division, and when
 it was ordered away, three members Of the band remained at the base hospital and the formed the nucleus of the pres ent orchestra. At present the orchestra has 22 members, but the number v-ill he rapidly increased A very noticeable fes ture is that the members are all quite young, most of them under 30. There is not one in the number who is not a fine musician and they are heart and soul in theii efforts to make this orchestra known far outside the confines of camp Sheridan.
