Here Is Senator Henderson's re-
ply to DIR. Hascall's request:
Dear Dr. Hascall: | ara Just in re
ceipt of your kind favor Of August
18th informing me that you have
learned that the officers at the ayla-
ton field at Sacramento were antici-
pating sending flying machines over
the Sierras into Nevada. This mat
ter had not been called to my atten-

Ia the case. II IL Is l shall take
pleasure in recommending that these
aviators be sent to Fallon.
While the loyalty and patriotism
of the people of the State Of Nevada
is unquestioned. feel that some ac-
ton like this on the part Of the gov
ernment would tend to stimulate en-
thusiasm. Our people have sub
scribed more than their quota in
Liberty Bonds, have contributed
freely to the Red Cross drives and
have solidly been back of the Gov
ernment In this war.
shall ltake this matter up at once
and do all l can to get favorable ac-
tlon. Sincerely yours,

AGED MAN FEARED FOR LIFE.
So He Made Away with Himself BY
Hanging.

South Hero, Dec. 2l--Seymour Rob
yer, aged 20, who lived alone in the
house adjacent the store here, commit
ted suicide by hanging early yesterday
morning. The body was discovered at 8
o'clock by passersby who, not seeing the
man about as usual, broke down the door
and entered.
A rope had been fastened to a door
knob, thrown over the top Of the door,
the body being suspended and hung in
this manner.
Mr.. Robyer, who was a retired farmer,
had imagined that someone was about
to poison him and his suspicious in
creased until he became desperate.
He was seen in the store, however,
Thursday evening and appeared normal
at the time.
Mr.. Robyer is survived by daughter,
Mrs. Margaret Bashaw of Marble ave-
nue., Burlington, by a brother, Joseph
Of this place, and by two sisters, Mrs
Napoleon Parott of South Hero, and
Mrs. Joseph LaMott of Grand Isle.
In the bedroom from which door hung
the body were found a saw and an axe,
which leads to the theory that Seymour
was contemplating other means of kill
ing himself or else he made the weapons
as protection against fancied assault.

ArmOry for Rutland Suggested.

Barre is talking of bridge as a prac-
teal memorial to men in service from
that city. That's a good idea Rutland
could do no better than to erect fine
armory as a substantial evidence of its
appreciation of the services of its thou
sand men in service. Why not go after
the next biennial Appropriation for an
armory to be made by the state, double it
by adding like amount from the city,
and put up a structure that would be a
lasting credit to the community aud a
substantial recognition of the splendid
patriotism of Rutland men who have
been in the war for world .decency? The
city has already voted the necessary
money to buy site for the armory.
What better time or better purpose than
now to erect it !? Such an armory could
serve several useful purposes; Headquar-
ters for local military companies, afford
facilities for universal athletic training

WARS COST REACHES
 AN APPALLING FIGURE

The direct cost of the war for all belligerent nations to May 1 was reported at about S175, 000,000,000 by the Federal Reserve Bank Board Bulletin issued at Washington, and it is estimated that the cost will a. mount to two hundred billion dollars before the end of the year.
 These calculations were com piled by the board from various sources and while their accura- cy is not vouched for, the board believes the figures are substan- tially correct.
 For purely military and naval purposes it is estimated that all belligerents had spent s132,OOO,- 100000 to May 1, or about three fourths of the totalwar cost. The balance represented interest on debt and other indirect war ex- penses.
 How the high cost mounted as the war grew in proportion from year to year is illustrated by tabulations showing that the mobilization and the first five months of war in 1914 cost all belligerets about $10,O 100000 In 1915 the expenses jumped to $26, ,OOO, 100000; in 1916 they in- creased to $38, ,OOO, COG, 900 and in 1917, they were estimated at S60 |OOO,0OO,O00. This years expens- les have run only a little above rate last year. !

TO ORGANIZE MORE
 HOME GUARD UNITS

Adjutant General England Saturday issued an order to all commanders of Home Guard companies to continue to perfect their organization and also the drills and instructions of war time.
 General England's order en- phasized the fact that the Home Guards are to be made pelman- ent and that recruiting should continue just as before peace. All Home Guard companies will be organized into battallions and regiments.
 General England thanked the companies for their patriotic ser vices during the war in putting down disorder and in holding themselves at all times ready to aid the civil authorities.

REPEAL OF SUGAR
 CERTICICATE PLAN

William Cooksey, White Coun- ty Food Administrator, has re- ceived the following instruc- tions from Hamp Williams, Food Administrator of Arkansas:
 Our Washington office ad- vises that owing to the conges- tion of sugar stocks in beet and Louisiana cane producing dis tricts it is necessary to relieve the situation immediately. Eff fective December 1st, the certif- icating plan governing the pur- chase and sale of these sugars in Arkansas by manufacturers and dealers is rescinded. All dealers in sugar are now permitted to buy sugar according to their re- quirements and demands with out feSCr1ctlOnS.
 The elimination of the certif- icating plan does not change the zoning restrictions as previously fixed by theSugar Division at Washington. That is, the boun- daries of the beet and cane sugar territority are not changed.
 After December 1st, dealers wholesalers and retail, manufac- turers, hotels, bakers, etc., may buy sugarwithout certificates, to meet their normal demands.
 Wholesale grocers will please inform their trade immediately. Both wholesale and retail gro- cers are requested to urge their trade and the public in general not to waste sugar but to use on- ly the qnantities necessary for .-tAois fnll l.as aaii - TT the certificate method was inau- gllrated.
 If our European allies i1i- crease their per capita allowance of sugar, it may be necessary for the United States to export sug- ar to them. If so, we want the reserve stock to be ready. In- form everybody that former leg al restrictions on sugar have been removed but that we should still practice the valuable lesson of conservation and economy in the consumption of sugar, the same as on every other commodi- ty of food, "To waste is sin; to

Pearce, careof the Armenian and Syrian Relief Committee, 1 Madison Ave-, New York. MT. Pearce appoint
 
 ed me to lead this work of so- hciting and equipping with liter ature, a visitor for each Sunday School in White County, but ow- ing to the fact that 1 have been shut in nearly three weeks on account of Influenza in my home and the late arrival of the nec- essary literature, I have been un- able to do anything at this ! worthy task. s<' S I come to the Sunday ScffoD4s 1and to the individuals as well, through the columns of your ex- , cellent county papers and ask that not a Sunday ScYfoUf nj White County, white or colored, fail to present this opportunity to help such a worthy cause, to the children of-your school. Let'ssee if White county can't make a good showing in this inn portant matter.
