N. G. Eastman of West Charleston
who runs the Newport stage route is
receiving good words on the fine
service he is giving and the record
made during the past winter. Not
withstanding the great depth of
snow and bad condition of the roads
not a trip was missed the past winter.
Mr.. Eastman used an enclosed sleigh
with foot heaters making it comfor-
table for passengers. An auto truck
will soon be in service the entire
trip and the time greatly shortened.
Patronage on this route has greatly
increased and the public appreciates
the service Mr.. Eastman is giving

Home Projects And War Gar
denS.

The Vermont Agricultural Extension
Service, the County Farm Bureaus, and
the State Department Of Education, in
cooperation, have placed enrolment
sheets in the hands of every public school
teacher in the state. This gives an op-
portunty to all boys and girls in, Ver-
mont, who are physically fit, to become
producing agents in their chosen lines,
and at the same time to secure valuable
information and help from the cooperat-
ing agencies
All parents are urged to counsel their
children and advise with teachers and
superintendents, that the wisest choices
may be made in what any boy or girl
will attempt, and in keeping with home
conditions.
To Win the War everyone must heed
the call and Plan to meet it.
Tens of thousands of boys and girls
can plant gardens; thousands can raise
pigs, poultry and potatoes Everything
can be produced for home use releases an
equivalent for our boys in France and
our allies. Any surplus or profit means
thrift and Thrift Stamps Helping
to hold that line"
Our Boys "over there" are doing their
part. Are we doing ours? Parents boys
and girls are yol doing yours?-Talk it

forty percent Every town attained or

Great credit is due the town chairmen
and their efficient helpers. The banks

their constant courtesy and assistance
added much to the success of the loan

SLEPT WHILE GUNS ROARED
Charles Francis Adams Told of TAX.
ing Nap on Hillside During
Pickett's Charge.

In the campaigns of both Antietam
and Gettysburg l was an officer in a
regiment Of cavalry, a mere subor-
dinate, responsible only for obedience
to orders.
At Gettysburg July the division to
which we belonged occupied the high,
partly wooded ground on the right Of
the line, covering the enemy's flank
and rear. 1t was bright July day,
hot, and with white clouds slowly roll
ing across the sky. Neither our lines
nor those of the enemy were visible
to us; and the sounds of battle were
hushed. Waiting for orders and for
action, we dismounted, out of regard
for our horses as well as for ourselves,
and sat or lay on the turf.
Injured to danger by contact long and
close and thoroughly tired in body and
overwrought in mind we listened for
the battle 70 begin; and shortly after
noon the artillery opened. We did not
know it, for we could see nothing in
that direction, but it covered the fa-
nous advance of Pickett's Virginia di-
vision upon Meade's center-that
wonderful feat of arms--and just
then, lulled by the incessant roar of
the cannon, while the fate of the
army and the nation trembled in the
balance, at the very crisis of the great
conflict, ! dropped quietly asleep. 1t
was not heroic, but it was essentially
war.-From the Autobiography of
Charles Francis Adams.
