of Vermont as already stated. What
states have been more alive to the
situation?
eff you care to investigate the
the army of the United States, in
GLIDING regular army and national
guard, you will find that, based upon
percentage of men of military age,
Vermont's record is excelled by the
Hawaiian Islands, the District of
Columbia and only five states of the
Union; and you will note that none of
these five are states whose publica-
tons are given to slandering YER
mont, either by original or copied
articles. If you careto look up the
facts, you can learn that only one
state in the Union can show a smaller
percentage of it's men of draft age
claiming exemption from military
service than can be shown in Yer
mont. Are you willing, so far as you
may be able, to correct the erroneous
impression that your paper has
spread broadcast in this community
concerning the state of Vermont by
publishing the copied article in ques-
ton?
eff you wish to interest yourself in
a close study of Vermont, what she
is doing and the spirit of her people,
you can learn a whole lot of good
things about the present-day patri-
otism of the people of that state that
I have not the time to write.
"Should you see fit tomake yourself
familiar with that state and it's peo-
pie 1 am sure you would agree with
me that in Vermont the spirit of
Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain
boys is neither dead nor sleeping.

BARTON LOCAL NOTES
CONTINUED from page one).

The only ruffle in the change of
time to one hour ahead Sunday is the
effect the change has on the schedule
of the trains running to and from
Canada. AS the time has not chang
ed there trains coming from Canada
run an hour late this side of the line
and have to wait one hour at the line
going into Canada or they would be
one hour ahead of time. Canada soon
expects to change her time when all
will be right again.
The past week has seen a record
disappearance of the snow by the
sun, and wheels have come into quite
general use. Sugaring is on in full
force but the flow of sap appears to be
erratic, many orchards reporting a
very light run while others seem to
be having plenty of sap. This sec
ton as a whole reports a light yield
thus far though sugarmakers in the
other parts of the county report
half-pound to the tree already made.
Barton's contribution of books for
the soldiers was over 100 volumes.
The committee receiving the books
thanks those who contributed in the
name of the soldiers. When oppor-
tunity offers again there ought to be
many more BOOKS worth reading
which have served their purpose in
our homes and which are stored in
cupboards and shelves which might
help to while away the idle hours of
the boys in camp.

Mrs. J. A. Pearson on the afternoon
