Horsemen Knew Their Business.

The value of having practical horse
men In charge Of remount camps Is
shown In provisions made for shelter.
When it came to building the great
depots required ut each Of the camps
they ordered open sheds instead Of
barns-or for the severe northern clL
mate, sheds closed on one side. To
the city-bred humanitarian who saw
thousands of Uncle Sans horses and
mules standing out in the cold, this
seemed cruel, and complaint was en-
tered. But by practical test 1t was
shown that the horsemen were right.
Those animals which were housed up
did not thrive as we'll as the ones
which were kept in the open. When
talking with the head of the remount

of was the fact that our horses were

NO TIME TO WASTE ENERGY
Western Poet Offers Good Advice
When He Says, Forget That Bald
Pate for the Present.

Lives there man with soul so dead
that never to himself he's said, when
the hair on his pate, once thick, began
a-looking thin and sick: "Ill put some
dope on that there hair and soon have
foliage to spare" Lives there a man
who has not spent his last red solitary
cent for dope the baldhead druggist
said would bring more hair upon his
head Nay. Man seeks the far soil
tude and rubs his shining pate with
crude, or rubs a pint of vaseline each
night onto his polished beam, rubs all
the dope he can afford on to the thing
he calls his gourd then to the druggist
doth cavort, and buyeth mango cure by
the quart; but all his labor Is in vain,
he never grows another name. Man
that is born of woman Is of few hairs
and funny phiz. He thlnketh in his
bosom he would look young as he used
to be If he could on his poll grown
bare contrive another crop Of hair.
Oh man! o bifurcated gent! don't
chase the hair that long has went.
That biz Is picayunish biz. Use all
the energy that is, and all of your
hair money for the winning Of this
dreadful war. In this here war game
don't you know you should be In the
baldhead row.-Judd Mortimer Lewis,

dictment of Governor Graham,
Frank c. Williams and Dewey T.
Hanley. 1t is with more sorrow
than vengeance we view this unfor-
tunate affair. There is always two
sides to every question, and the
Governor asked Vermonters to sus-
pend judgment when he acknowl-
edged to wrong doing, and the
Herald believes there is yet another
side that will mitigate in part the
wrong doing and show that no crime
was intended. We believe the sys-
TEN was more to blame than the in
dividual. This had been pointed out
to those in authority and just what
has resulted predicted, but this had
not been needed. State officials
must have known of these alleged
wrongs of Governor Graham, for it
covered many years, if not they
were extremely dense and not up to
their job. Governor Graham but
followed a system, other state Of
fcials had done likewise. There was
no intention to wrong the state, and
whatever shortage has been made
good. And while we may condemn
Governor Graham and hold him up
as bringing the state into dishonor,
the people of Vermont through their
leaders are more to blame for per-
hitting a system to remain that held
open these opportunities for wrong
doing.

believing that now the war is over
prices of foodstuffs and the neccssi-

can be no reduction in the price of
these products under the present
nigh wages of labor Farmers will
not, and they cannot if they would,
put in crops at lower price for their
products, with wages at the present
high standard. Food and the neces-
sites of life will lower only SO fast
as there is a lessening of wages
among all the industries. There
cannot be high wages for one in
dustry and low wages for another,
and products will lower only when
the cost of production lowers.

Now that the war is over, every
town should have some kind of honor
roll for the boys in their town taking

record of service. Many towns have
already erected honor rolls, and 9TH

complete record may be handed
DOWN to coming generations Of
what the old home town boys did in
this greatworld war. 1t is a recogni-
ton we owe the boys and a part in
the towns history that should be
carefully chronicled and kept. Some
towns have erected a granite or
marble tablet in the park or central
place in the village, with the names
of the boys and their units. But no
matter what is selected, the main
thing is to erect som eenduring testi-
monial of their service, and do ii
now.

STING OF SCORPION FATAL.

Letha, the little year and a half old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. w. c. Adams, who live a mile west of Tempe, says the News, died early Thursday morn ing as the result of being stung by scorpion Wednesday night. The poison spread rapidly through hel system as she was stung on one of the large veins of her arm. and notwithstanding that prompt medical aid was had, it was impossible to save the life of the little one and she passed away shortly after mid night.
 THE BORDER VIDETTE has time and again warmed parents about the probable fatal results of children, and especially very small ones, being stung by SCOT pions. A sting by one of the insects upon an adult person that would be only a slightly painful inconvenience for short time, to a small child would soon prove fatal. Children should not be permitted to play about rubbish piles and old stone walls as these are the hiding places of the scorpion.
