of living men must be coupled with
present acts of devotion to this cause,

AGAIN VERMONT SUCCEEDS.

The success of the Vermont campaign
toward raising the Knights of Columbus
war work fund was complete as far as
the state as whole was concerned; and
those who were back of the campaign, as
well as those who are interested in the
welfare of our soldiers and sailors at
home and abroad have reason to take
pleasure over the result. Vermont was
asked for 100000; Vermont gave approx
imately $4,000, or well toward double
double the quota asked of her. The out
pouring of money for this work was the
more remarkable because there were no
large subscriptions, but the amount is
made up almost entirely of small
amounts, the average probably being
less than five dollars. The larger places
of the state were well organized and the
canvass among them was highly success.
full, particularly so in Rutland and Bur
lington, which lead the other communi-
ties by wide margin. In fact, had it
not been for the great rivalry between
those two cities Vermont's total would
have been materially less than it is.

Col. Sias A. llsley, late of Middlebury,
gave further proof of his devotion to his
adopted state by bequeathing consider,
able property to institutions of Vermont,
in addition to munifcent gifts made dur

the bcquests and the donations, however
is the consciousness that the state was
found by the chance visitor of less than
a score of years ago to be of such virtues
as to attract man like Col. Ilsley TO
