cURTAILING EXCHANGES.

\ stir was created in many news
paper offices when the United States
War Industries board issued ruling
that newspapers, owing to paper shorr-
age are not allowed to give out any
free exchanges
The board was led to make this rule
by the careless habits of many news
papers in maintaining exchange lists.
Many publishers grant exchanges to
every brother publisher that applies,
and toss the unopened papers into the
waste basket. This aggravates the Sc
rious shortage in the paper supply.
However, well regulated exchange
list is an aid to the publication of a
good newspaper. The government will
do well not to regulate it to drasti-
cally. The government must remember
that it gets its principal support, in
disseminating information about the
war, from the newspaper press. Any
thing that helps the publishers print
better newspapers, helps build up the
war morale of the community.
Good ideas about the war largely
circulate from one newspaper to an.
other through the exchanges. The pub
lie may laugh about the editor and his
paste pot. But the more an editor
works and studies over his exchanges
the more bright ideas he collects and
can pass on for the help and guidance
of Others. If exchange lists are who'll,
cut off, the circulation of much goo6
war stuff that the public ought tc
have will be impeded.
Publishers can comply with this or
der of course by charging each other
up with the price of their papers sen
in exchange, so that where the paper
are given for the same price, no none,
will have to change hands. But i
would seem as if the government woul,
do well to allow newspapers to main
tain small list of exchanges, to en-
courage the continued free circulation
of ideas and information helpful t.
war and community purposes.

burlington News.l


These figures measure Vermont s con-
tribution to the man-power which is
lighting to destroy the Hun.
The credits given officially by the
war department show local boards have
indicted 4,792 draft men into service
in the state, 1000 have been transferred
from the First Vermont Infantry, army
enlistments to May l total 1888, in the
navy 1000 and officers, including medi-
cal, 500.
The figures of those supplied through
the local boards up to July 81 are also
of interest. They follow:
Addison 800, Bennington $50, Gale
donia PAS, Chittenden COS, Essex 121,
Franklin 81, Lamoille 131, Grand Isle
81, Orange 225, Orleans 30S, Rutland
No. l, $50, No. 2, $50, Washington 546
Windham 800, Windsor So
Apparently Vermont is doing its duty
at home and reports just coming in
from the field of battle show that Yer
mont is playing its part in hurting back
the Hun in the present battle as well.

We have received a car Of
0ld-Fashioned Low Grade
Flour in 140-lb. sacks. We
are selling it to merchants at
a price that will enable them
to retail this at the rate of
$1,000 per barrel, or about
$3.50 per barrel less than the
higher grades. Of course,

you do that. And if you don't wish to

nate when consider how quickly and
without even thought you can make
up rhyme.
There are many, many poets who
sit before their desks, as you sit before
your desk, the ocean. They bite the
ends of their pens or pencils-you
can't do that because you haven't any
pens or pencils-and they talk about
a great idea which is coming TO them
and they wait and wait for that idea.
And what do you think? The idea
doesn't come at all, or when it does
come it's been such a long time COM
ing that it's pretty well worn out when
1t gets there. And an idea for a poet
means rhyme. SO you're a poet with
out any effort and that is very fine

along the seashore," said Daddy,
was a row of very queer-looking OBJ
jects.
They were sport fish, not real, alive
nsh. but sport fish, made out of rub
Der and covered with oil cloth. Their
faces were painted with eyes like the
fish have. They had painted fins and
painted bodies. In fact they were very
gay in color and were all ready to go
in the water.
say remarked one sport fish,
painted mostly in red, what do you
think Wen do todayT
Have you never been here be-
foreT asked the sport fish painted blue
and yellow.
Never said the red sport fish.
All, YOU See said the blue and yell
low sport fish, we are blown up like
tires of automobiles
oh dear said the red sport fish,
when is that going TO happen? I'd
hate 10 be blown up. 1t sounds quite
too awful for words. Quite too awful.
I'm dreadfully afraid. Oh, why did
you tell me this? Was it to warn me
that danger is near? Will it happen
today? When will 1t happen? Oh,
am so frightened
my dear sport fish, calm yourself,
calm yourself
It's all very well for you to talk
about calming myself. It's a very fine
thing to be calm when another creature
is going to be blown up. Very fine in
deed
But If you think am looking for
ward to being blown up. you're very
much mistaken, very much mistaken.
In fact am dreading it with every bit
of my queer-shaped body. 1t makes
me sad, it makes me madr

The Russian Peril.
(Keene Sentinel

The American people need to keep
their eyes firmly fixed on Russia.
Here are 180,000,00o people set adrift.
Will they be friends of autocraev or
of democracy? Will they become
willing slaves of Germany
The German looks over into the part
of Russia known as the Ukraine, where
many millions of people are now under
the German heel, and hopes that before
the war is over he will have an army
of these submissive Russian slaves
fighting his battles and killing our
American boys.
The German might be perfectly will
ing to give liberal terms on his western
front if he could be free to exploit Rus
STA. He would reorganize into systematic
efficiency the .1S0 100000 of Russians,
would overflow into Asia and organize
all those vast regions, too He would
control more than half the world
The mines and forests of Asia would
pay tribute to him. The peoples of
Russia and Asia, who are naturally sub
missive and disposed to yield to strong
force would fight for him, against their
will and desire.
1t is no wonder that it appeals to the
herman hlHd. but lt Is great peru
| to the rest of the world If 19O,000,00
Russians submissively cringe before the
German lash, and are willing to fight
his battles, how long shall we be safe
How long before he will be ordering
those slaves to build great fleet of
ships and invade our shores2 There
will be no peace for the world so long
as Germany controls Russia or any part
of it. The German must go back into
his original boundaries where he be
longs And we must make more posi-
tive efforts to win the friendship of the
Russian people and to keep them from
becoming servile fighters for Germany

THIS is no time for pessimism. Meth

power seems to be waning But we
must not be unduly elated or overconf-
dent. We have not vet gained back
the territory which we held previous

reaching Paris or striking through TO

not forget that the Germans still oc

like flash. Some people believe that
IT will end in the same way The mill

another year anyway, probably more.
iShe very momentum of the war will
carry the struggle along for months
until after the issue is really decided.
We are long, long way from Berlin.
Our victory must be so complete that
we can absolutely dictate terms which
will assure lasting peace. In the
meantime it is up to all of us to make
sacrifices and, in the words of Presi-
