JUVENILE PATRIOTS

Editor Of the Register
As a part OF the nationwide drive
next week for funds to carry on the
seven great war work organizations, the
boys and girls of the county are being
enrolled as fast as they pledge their
earnings into a great army known as
"The Victory Boys and Girls" The
goal set by the national leaders Is TO
find million boys who will pledge to
earn and give at least five dollars each
for this purpose, and as many girls
In Addison county, the schools furnish
the organization for a large part OF tins
work, The superintendent OF schools
is the district leader for his district.
Associated with him there viii be a
woman to organize the girls work, Town
leaders will look after the thorough
covering of each town, to the end that
every boy and girl OF the ages from
twelve to twenty years may have
pledge card given him, and that each
young person may know the purpose
and the need for which the money is
being raised, In word, the purpose IS

during the hours of duty, Last year
the boys Of Addison county met their
quota for the Y, NJ c, A, work, This
year the quota is much larger, but
the campaign is more thoroughly an

work is better understood, To many a
young person of twelve to sixteen years,
even five dollars is a sum almost i'm
possible to earn and give Let US secure
as many as possible Of subscriptions
for five dollars, and il there are those
who would ike TO have a part in this
work, TO whom that is too large an
undertaking, let them give according to
their best ability. Through the teachers
and town leaders, pledges will be placed
in reach of all young people next week
The parent should be consulted and
then pledges made that are a true meas.

The tremendous hoax which the Uni
ted Press perpeuated yesterday by
false announcement of "the end OF the
war" ought to furnish the public with
a lesson in reading the news News
papers which published the false re-
port must feel a great humiliation over
having pinned their faith to a news
agency which has for the hundredth
time taken chances" rather than taken
the facts. If you want to be reasonably
certain that the news is So wait until
the old, reliable "a. p" says it is!
The real truth is that yesterday after
noon while the celebrations of peace
were being held, the Germans had not
even received the terms of the armis-
tice, but were at that moment on the
way to the allied front under flag OF
truce to receive the papers. 1t may be
that within the next twenty-four hours
the war will be ended, but yesterday the
country was hoodwinked as never be-
fore by a hoax for which the United
Press news agency appears entirely
responsible

OPTIMISTIC ABOUT

Some folks here are getting anxious
over the outlook of an ample supply Of
coal for the coming winter as large
number have no part of their winters
coal in. Many others have but partial
supply on hand but the people at the
coal yards here have reason to believe
that enough coal will trickle along
through to keep everybody from freez-
ing and probably fully supply the wants
of all In regard to the matter of wood,
the situation is bad There is plenty Of
wood in this section of the county,
but there seems to be no choppers, or
very few of them, and the chances for
getting wood cut down at any reason

They tell us tales of camouflage,
The art of hiding things,
OF painted forts and powered guns,
Invisible to wings.
Well, it's nothing new to us,
To us, the rank and file;
We understand this camouhage-
We left home with a smile.
We saw the painted battleships
And earthen- colored trains
And planes the hue OF leaden skies
And canvas-hidden lanes.
Well, we used the magic art
That day of anxious fears;
We understand this camoufage-
We laughed away your tears,
They say that scientific men
And artists of renown
Debated long on camoufage
Before they got it down.
Well, it came right off to us.
We didn't have to learn,
We understood this camoufiage-
We said we'd soon return.
We understand this camouhage
This art of hiding things;
It's what's behind soldiers joke:
