FACE THE FACTS.
Critical War Situation Demands Use Of
Less Wheat-Corn Best Substitute.

Vermont people must face the facts.
The war situation is critical. Unless the
allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men
cannot fight at their best; nor hungry
nations France, England and Italy are
going hungry unless America feeds
them.
Wheat Savings.
The allied armies must have wheat.
It is the best food for fighting men. It
is the easiest to ship And America
alone can spare it for them BY saving
just httle-less than quarter Of what
Americans ate last year-the United
States can support those who are fight
ing her battles. Nobody at home is
asked to go hungry. They have only to
substitute another food that is just as
good.
The Corn Of Plenty.

plus of it. Providence has been gener

of which was never before known. Ton:

to be hanged for participation in

The Secretary of the Treasury has
announced that neither the soldiers,
sailors, nor their dependents or any
beneficiaries under the soldier and
sailor insurance law need employ at
torneys or claim agents to collect the
insurance; that the employment of
such Intermediates is unnecessary
pense.
The procedure for the presentation
and collection of insurance claims is
very simple and the proper blanks can
be secured from the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance in Washington. The
name of the person in the service who
was killed or injured and the relation
ship which he bore to the person maxi
ing the claim should be given. If
further information or assistance is
required by the claimant the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance will gladly
furnish it.
Circulars have been sent out by
claim agents and attorneys offering
to assist persons entitled to the bene-
fits of this insurance in collecting
their claims. The pension sharks"
who once thrived and fattened under
under our pension laws, are still a
rank memory in this country.
1t was hoped that when they were
legislated out of existence we would
never see their like again. But their
successors seem to survive, and the
action of Secretary MeAdoo in giving
prompt warning against these would
be profiteers under the insurance law
! will be commended by all.

"THE SHADOW OF YEARS."
By Chas. A. Starks.

And now we see things Alright under
the revealing light turned on by the
person who knows surely, THE Shad-
ow of Years" have spoken the Ian
guage to him who can best express
or interpret it for us. Days Should
Speak and Multitude of years Should
Teach Wisdom" Surely, fifty years,
brimful ones, have taught this Dis
ciple of Study, the Wisdom of Days
and the Spirit of Understanding.
The February Crisis marks the fif-
tieth Birthday of its Astute Editor.
In a sketch, styled "The Shadow of
Years" this gentleman let's us in on
the ground floor by a few graphic
strikes of his pen. 1t is just as if he
stepped beyond his cloister and
thrown open every access or portal
and bid you to see for yourself, His
Home and Heart, His Hope, His
Work.
We learn from poetic language that
He Was Born By a Golden River
and In the Shadow of Two Great
Hills" further on he says, with a
Flood of Negro Blood, A Strain of
French, A Bit of Dutch, and Thank
God! No Anglo-Saxon,' l come to the
days of my childhood. They were
very happy. This revelation of no
anglo Saxon" in him causes us also
to Thank God" This has been one
of the illusions of the people con-
cerning him. This not only files his
social identity, but refutes certain
claims of Detractors who have advan-
ced hereditary tendencies and aspira.
tions as Sins" of our most scholarly
one
With a classic condensation, Dubois
puts a history into few pages. What
he reveals is highly Illuminating tC
his character and shows a side" We
did not know. He displays abou
himself and his own a characteristic
frankness which is also beautiful.
And so, Dubois, in this great south
west of ours in the very Souls OF
Black Folk greet you and congratu
lated you in the attainment of your
/ Half Century of years. Your work
and position compels us to place you
as forming the third pivotal point in
the Races Triangle of Great Excel
| lencies. First, Douglass in States

and Dubois in Scholarship.
