Women Good Campaigners

The wI,nen of Vermont proved to
be good c"mpaigners after subscrip-
tons to the Fourth Liberty loan, for
it has beer determined that they
raised S2,770,150, or approximately
one-sixth of the total amount raised
by the state. When other campaigns
for war work are started in the state
it will never do to leave the women
out of the reckoning. A we'll organic
ed women's campaign can cover q
part of the field which might be over
looked by the men, in addition To
taking over some of the work which
is generally done by the men cam
paigners. Ir Barre the women have
played 4 prominent part in all the
war work campaigns and have prov
ed to be not only willing workers but
successful pleaders.-Barre Times.

1t is said by many persons that the
handsomest of the rods is that which
is called Canada golden rod. The
flower cluster is very large and plume
ike. Next to it is that plant which
is called the snowy golden rod. 1t is
brighter yellow than many of the spe-
cies and the flower cluster is plume
like. The 1ace-leaved golden rod
is so different from many other
common species that a person can
hardly fail TO notice it. The flowers
are crowded together, are small and
dull yellow

,ery to do. Thus the War Council OF
Mr.. Baker passed into innocuous
desutude, while Stettinius and Goe-
thals, frs rejected, were given re-
quisite power.
Thus Denman was put forward
withdrawn, then another, then anoth-
er and finally Schwab was given the
unrestricted chance to push the max
ing of ships. So with aviation, a la
mentable waste and failure came first
and then Ryan with requisite head
ship and authority is doing the job.
What was it that stimulated a re-
form Of lamentable methods and de-
lays in clothing, rifles, machine guns,
artillery and ammunition but investi-
cations in the Senate Military Com
mittee Of Republicans and a few will
full but patriotic Democrats?
The patriotism and usefulness of
the Republicans as a majority in Win
ming this war stand out so clearly as
compared with that of the leaders of
the Democratic majority that the Re
publicans may well go to the people
on the issue which the President
raises.
Nor is there any more real weight
in the Presidents plea that an cleo
ton of Il Republican Congress will
injure the cause of the country in this
war abroad as a vote of want of con-
fidence in his prosecution of the war.
The intelligence which he says the
European people have, has enabled
them to sec that an election of Re
publican Congress will mean a more
certain prosecution of this war to an
unconditional surrender than if the
President shall secure a House and
Senate who will only do his will and
second his desires.
The shiver which went through the
hearts of the American people when
the implied proposals of the Presi-
dents first note for a negotiated
peace were so quickly accepted by
Germany was shared by all the brave
but suffering peoples of our allies.
For reasons apparent to all, the real
expressions of feeling in respect to
President Wilson's utterances in Eng
land and France are restrained. But
when the torrent of American public
opinion compelled a gradual return
toward G. demand for unconditional
surrender Tic joy of our allies was I'M
restrained. They know that verdict
at the election for a Republican
House will end forever the dangers
which seemed to face a negotiated
peace.
Instead OF obstructing the Presi-
dent and cur allies in winning this
war and a dictated peace, nothing
would so discourage the Germans and
hearten our allies as the return of a
Republican Congress.

Pzeserxinn Spiders, Webs.

In order to preserve spiders webs,
naturalists employ an ingenious meth
cd. The webs are first sprayed from
an atomizer with q thin solution of art
lists shellac, and then, should they be
of the ordinary geometric form, they
are pressed carefully against a glass
plate, the supporting strands at the
same time being severed. After the
sheIlac solution has dried the plates
carrying the webs can be stored away
in a cabinet.

CALLED FOR QUICK THINK G
Skipper of Burning Ship, With Cargo
of High Explosives, in No Posi-
ton to Hesitate. ....

The CephalOnia was deeply loaded
filled with r. N. T. for the Italian
army, writes r. e. Cropley in the At
lantic. She was well in the midst
of the convoy proceeding down the
Thames, and had just passed beyond
the submarine net, when thin pencil
of smoke was seen to rise from the
corner of No. 1 hatch. It happened
10 catch the third officers eye first,
and he called Sammy's attention to it.
In two shakes Sammy had sounded
four blasts on the siren, and a flag
futtered from the yard-arm, which
caused all other ships to give him a
wide berth, as the propeller of the
Cephalonia churnei up the sea in her
frantic effort to back and turn as if
to return to London. A ship on fire
should return to poEt. but Sammy, with
a cargo of r. N. Il. wasn't the kind of
a skipper to risk blowing cottages and
kiddieS into the next world in an eff
fort to save his own skin. No; he
turned the Cephalonia till her stern
was head to the breeze, and slowly
kept her backing seward to restrain
the fire, if possible, from spreading
aft to his chambers of T. N. t.;
backed her away from port and other
ships, so that, if she did blow up, the
military loss would be confined to the
Cephalonia alone. And all the while
he was wondering what moment a u
boat would pop up and send torpedo
into him, or he would strike a drift

Battery L, 149th Field-Artillery
We are youths heart made visible,
who rise
On cleaning wings to greet the
splendid sun,
Weary of earth's slow certainties, and
run
Jousts with the elements to show our
pride.
Last and most chosen chivalry, we
meet
In single fight to win a single fame;
Sweep on victorious, or, defeated,
pass
Like the archangels, trailing robes of
flame.
