The various war missions stationed
in the United States have impressed

The plan OF child labor was tried in
European belligerent countries with
poor results.

W. S. S. THIS YEAR AND NEXT.

If that Thrift card still lacks few stamps to complete the sixteen, now is he time to fill It up if any interest is to be drawn. Next year, it is announced, the government will sell war savings and thrift stamps almost the iden tical plan carried out in 1918. But next years stamps, of course will mature year later than those purchased this year, and the two is- sues must be kept separate.
 Thrift stamps redeemable at their face value The War Savings stamps draw interest That is one reason why all the cards should be filled before January l. Then the four dollars and some cents worth of stamps, exchanged for a W. s. s. will come back to the purchaser n'1923 as $500.
 The thrift stamp habit was easily ac- quired. Quarters converted into the little green stickers seemed never to be missed. Also the realization that these small securities count up pretty fast and that they Il all be re- turned with interest at the end of five short years rather adds to pleasure in the habit.
 It is better'thrift and psychology, too, to teach children to invest the coins that come their way than to have them hoard the money in toy bank Let everybody finish up the last certificate, get just one or two more stamps Of the 1918 issue-and then start in afresh with the new year buying government saving stamps

DEMOCRACY vS. AUTocRAcY.

"There is no royal road to \. food conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element in proportion to its | needs. It is matter of equality of burden
 The truth of this statement,
 made by the United States Food Administrator soon after we en- tered the war, has been borne out by the history of our ex- ports. Autocratic food control In the lands of our enemies has broken down, while democratic food sharing has maintained the health and strength of this coun- , try and of the Allies.

WHY DOES HE WEEP.

The kaiser is reported as having fits of weeping, and seeming at all times very sad and depressed.
 This is most interesting. Why should he mourn? He is wealthy. None of his family were killed in the war. None of his women outraged or the little people that he loved bayonetted torn from their parents and left to hunger and die. The women of German religious orders have suffered no vio- lation The little girls of Germany are hap py and whole and free as little girls should be, unlike the heart-rehding girls of France and Belgium.
 The German cities stand undevastated and prosperous, ready to resume at a moments tice their normal industrial life. Why should the kaiser weep and be sad?
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-12-27

Bleriot planes for transatlantic travel are being built. Radio telephones make con- munication possible with planes five miles up in the air. Any wilderness has got to be pret- ty vast for home in it to insure poor herm- it any privacy at all.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-12-27

Now that we we made the world safe from autocracy, we face a stiffer problem still. How are we going to make democracies safe from each other?

To CUT down LITIGATION
Gives Warning That it Will
Deal Direct With Persons In
jured and Settle Claims on
Equitable Basis.

Washington, June 26.-The Hon
John Barton Payne, General Counsel
United States Railway Administration
has outlined the general policy which
will be followed in handling personal
injury claims against railroad companies
while under Federal Control.
The Federal Control Act, he states,
comtemplates that suits for personal in
iuries may be brought as heretofore, but
provides that executions may not be
levied on the property of the carrier
while in the possession of the Government.
This means that while a judgment may
be recovered, it devolves upon the
Director General to provide for payment
and this places upon him the response
bility of considering the merits of the
claims and the persons to whom pay
ment is made, 1t is the desire Of
the Director General that Justice
shall be done to all employees who are
injured in the discharge of their duties.
This does not mean" says General
Payne, that verdicts based upon pref
udice or passion shall shall be paid or
large sums be paid by the Govern

and dinner at eleven and then
started for Norton, leaving the
house as clean as we could. Every
one hated to go and said that they
had the best time ever,no accidents,
no quarrels, no homesickness.
Much of the good time was due to
the kindness of the people at Norton
and Averill, especially the Schoffs
and Cunningtons. Thanks are also
due the postmistress for the use of
her telephone and the Central girl
for her patience and perseverance in
ringing up Island Pond.
The Camp Fire Girls will always
remember with pleasure their
eight days at Averill Lake.

LETTERS FROM SOLDIER BOYS

The following letters were received

battles in France:

Dear Mother:
Yesterday | received your letter
written the 25th of April, while a
week ago received a letter written
the 5th of May, so you see how we
receive our mail over here, it is not
so bad though.
| am we'll and hope this will find
you all the same.
The weather here for the past
month has been wonderful, sun every
day, yet does not get very hot. We
have had no rain for a long time
now. 1t is wonderful.
About that picture you saw in the
"Leslie's" of the Marine Emblem"
| was in it, but | have never seen the
picture.
You said you read everything
about the Marines over here. All
can say is that they are doing their
work and they are the best soldiers
Uncle Sam has, and perhaps if you
have read the papers published about
this date you may know it, for they
are showing themselves up fine.
hope you get what | mean; it may
answer another question you asked
| cannot put it any palmer.
Our church service conducted by
the chaplain is not an Episcopal ser
vice but just general service. II

Montpelier July 14.-Montpelier did
its part tonight in the celebration with
81 other cities in America in the OBJ
servance of Bastille day when some 1900
persons gathered in the City Hall,
listening to addresses by Lieutenant
Moriess of the 2Slst French Regiment,
which was raised in Montpelier, France,
and Prof. Richard Gotthei of Columbia
University, who was in Germany when
the war broke out. Governor Graham
being unable to be present, Alderman
H. G. Shurtleff presided over the meet
ing.
The Montpelier Military band was in
attendance, while chorus of 20 male
voices sang several selections and Miss
LeBarron Of Waterbury sang French
songs, responding with an encore.
A resolution in which Montpelier signi-
fed its intention to stand back of the
French soldiers until the victorious end
was adopted by rising vote. This,
like similar resolution from the other
81 cities, will be forwarded to the French
Chamber of Deputies
Lieutenant Moriess told his audience
what France has been doing, saying that,
although she has lost 100000 in SOL
diers killed, she still has 4.0O0,O 900 in the
the fields now and that she is not on her
last legs, nor is any other nation in
Europe He predicted that two more
years of war will be suffered. He paid
tributes to the Americans, expressing
surprise at what has been done and was
literally applauded when he told what
France and her allies have suffered.
Professor Gotthel, who came out of
Germany the day preceding the war,
told of seeing placaris on the cars that
stated that in eight days they would be
in Paris. He gave an interesting story
OF hos France had looked after America
when she was fighting for liberty and
that America is paying her obligation
but that it is not an obligation to France
alone, but to all Christianity under one
God, fight fors equality, brotherhood o.
man, and liberty.

CAMP fire GIRLS OUTING
Tuesday

Lie udy UcSdIl Sdlly 1Ol oolilc VI Us,
even at 800 a. M, when Miss Full
ington and Mable Osborne, sleeping
peacefully on the veranda, became
very much alarmed by the advent, as
they supposed, of very ferocious
wild animal. Miss Fullington bravely
chased the intruder away and this
aroused the girls who Immediately
dragged their hunks into their re-
spective bedrooms, vowing that here
after they would remain in same.
In the morning, tracks and other
signs were found which verified the
scare, but much to our chagrin, we
found later that the much dreaded
and talked of beast was only a por-
cupine, he having visited some of
the other camps.
After breakfast some of the girls
went to the post Office while the
work was being done, and shortly
after ten, all except two, started in
boats, manned by Mable Osborne, Ge-
neva Roby. Pauline Parlin and Doris
Foster. and Mr.. Cunnington, one Of
neighbors, for Little Averill. The
boats each carried four girls and
the lunches. Mrs. Cunnington
very kindly led US on the trail, and
after a mile of beautiful scenery,
we arrived at what camp was it,
"Damfno."
Farther on,w found a nice beach
built fire for coffee and enjoyed a
delicious open air lunch. Some of
the girls went in wading, and, as
usual, Pauline got entirely wet" !"
After lunch, all hiked part way
round Little Averil Lake and spent
some time jumping rocks, after
which we started for home. The
row back was rather a strenuous
one and a cheer is due the oars
women.
We were invited to spend the
evening dancing at the Lakeside but
on account of the illness of Mrs.
Jacobs, the invation was withdrawn.
So after a short stroll we all re-
turned home and spent the evening
dancing and popping corn with
more or less (emphasis on the
LESS success.
Wednesday and Thursday
Everyone oversight, even the cooks
not getting up until eight o'clock
AS we were to have pancakes, and
there was only one frying pan which
would hold four at q time, breakfast
was served about ten O'Clock and
nearly eveyone was ready at that
time. Everyone got busy sweeping,
packing suitcases, etc. and Miss
Hooker mopped every room in house
except the kitchen. Dinner came
about four O'Clock and supper at
seven. Some of sthe girls walked
to Norton after dinner and about
five O'Clock some of them came
back.in an auto with Clifford Stevens,
Alex King, and Gustine Rooney.
Stevens returned to Norton to get
the rest of the crowd Carl Withrow,

Joe and Theodore took a trip to
Little Averill by moonlight, return

uneasiness to those left behind.

popping corn which disappeared in
about five minutes. Although
there was a good deal to do, every
