TO DISCONTINUE MAIL BY STAGE
Postal Department Rejects Bids From
Palisade to Eureka and Asks Bids
From PaIisade to Union


Some time ago the Postal Depart
ment asked for bids for carrying the
mails between Palisade and Eureka.
A number were submitted, but be-
fore the time for acceptance notice
was sent out that on account of the
increased parcel post weights new
bids would be asked. 1t is UNDER
stood that only one bid was offered
under the later regulations, and this
one, according to reports from Pali-
SADIE. has now been rejected.
The Postal Department is now ask
ing for bids for carrying the mails
twice a week between Palisade and
Union, which makes it plain that the
Department intends only carrying
the mail to Union by stage, and will
discontinue the route from there into
Eureka after July 1next. when the
new schedule into Union will go into
effect.
While it is understood that the To-
cal railway has not as yet entered into
any contract with the Postal Depart
ment for carrying the mails from
Palisade into Eureka. it is reasonable
to believe that such an arrangement
will soon be made and that Eureka
will continue to receive its present
very satisfactory service by train
three times each week.

BIG DRIVE NEXT WEEK
Importance of Early Donations
For Red Gross Urged by Edna
@. Plummer, Special
Chairman

From headquarters at Washington
comes the call for One Hundred Mil
lion Dollars to carry on the Red
Cross work made necessary by the
war. Nevada's quota is SIS. 900.
That means about a dollar per per-
son, but. as there are many in the
State that will not be able to pay
their dollars. the others who are in
more fortunate circumstances will
be asked to make up the deficiency.
Efforts will be made to communi-
cate with every Red Cross member
in the county. in person or by letter.
but If it should be impossible to
reach each and every one. don't wait.
come in with your donation or send
it in before the 9th.
This drive differs from the Liberty
Loan Drive. The Liberty Bonds
were an investment; every purchaser
LOANED his money to the Govern
ment at a good rate of interest. Un-
less we lose the war every investor
in bonds gets his money back with
interest. With the Red Cross, it is
different; you are being asked to
GIVE.
Every dollar donated is for the aid,
the help. the care of those who have
gone to fight for those who must
stay at home. When we at home
think of what the boys lover there
are giving, can any of US hesitate to
make any sacrifice necessary to help
them. They have gone to GIVE
THEIR LIVES if necessary. and the
more money the Red Cross receives.
the fewer the lives that will have to
be given. No matter what we go
without, no matter what sacrifice we
make, in order to GIVE to this fund,
we cannot do too much for the gal
liant young men who are willing to
make the supreme sacrifice. if neces-
sary. that we in our homes. our fields,
and our shops may be safe from
such fates were melted out to the
Belgiums and the inhabitants of
Northern France.
If you are a member of the Palisade
Red Cross, make your checks payable
to the Second Red Cross War Fund"
and send them to Mrs. Grace Rice,
Mrs. Frances Sexton, or Mrs. F. Kel-
Ter.
If you are a member of the Eureka
Red Cross, make your check payable
to the Second Red Cross War Fund"
and send it in to Mrs. w. j. Hooper,
Mrs. D. States. or Mrs. Pearl HUI.
If you have no checks. send the
money by stage driver or any way
to get it in to the officers mentioned.
And if you are not a member, and
for any reason don't want to be a
member, send in your donations any
way. Don't wait. The Huns are
moving down men and wait for
nothing but a better chance to NOV
down more men. Every dollar sent
means that less men will have to be
sacrificed to them. WILL YOU
HELP? Eureka County must raise
between $1,000 and $1,000. HOW
MUCH WILL YOU GIVE?

THE MOVING PICTURES

At the Eureka theatre Friday even
ing May II. The False Friend" will
be presented with Robert Warwick
and Gail Kane as the stars. The
drama in which these two accom-
plished screen players are seen, is
a glowing romance in which the hero
loses his standing in the world and
his life's hope through the villiany
of a false friend. He becomes down
and out. He hits the lowest levels
of humanity. And then his inherent
manliness and stamina asserts itself,
and he rises to a new self confidence
and a new determination. Miss
Kane appears as the daughter of a
Judge who takes the young attorney
into partnership. But a rich young
man who seeks the hand of the girl
in marriage decides that the attorney
is a formidable rival and he does his
level best to put him out of the run
ming.

Here is the announcement of the
principle of self-determination for the
peoples of the American continent. The
United States has stood on guard to
ward off the encroachments of autoc-
racy. 1t is a doctrine which has been
especially hateful to the German autoc-

are recognized by allies of the United

the terms of just and righteous peace,
not only applicable to the American
continent but to the European contin-

The Spirit of Vermont.

When War was declared last Springtime,
of course we fellows knew,
That to serve Uncle Sam, in a time of
need,
Was the proper thing to do.
The President called at once for men,
And we didn't want to be jeered;
So a bunch of us Nermonters
Straightway volunteered.
They drilled us through the Summer
months,
In sunshine, and in rain;
But scarcely were we ever heard
To grumble, or complain
It's seven months since we left the States,
To cross the Oceans spray:
Aad now we're in foreign cline,
-Four thousand miles away.
Though we're fighting in this distant land,
Far from the ones so dear:
Still from the staunch Green Mountain
boys
No grumbling do we hear
For we've got that selfsame spirit,
That Nermonters always knew;
And since we came to do orr bit
We want to see it through.
We want to play our part so well,
That when the victory's won;
Well know Vermont has done her best,
What more could she have done?
We've already shown the Germans
What Green Mountain boys can do,
And we're going to keep them on the
Till they meet their Waterloo
And e'er the snowfakes fall again,
In the state we love so well.
We, who are left, are cominc back,
With many tale to tell.
[ know there'll be friends at the station
When the train whistles down the
track;
And I'm sure they'll be anxiously waiting
For the boys that are coming back.
And | know that above the shouting,
For we may be loudly ehccred:
Well hear echoes of the vpicing,
Thank God they volunteered

Frank E. Howe's candidacy cannot
fail to be helped by the statement
which he issued yesterday from the
Montpelier hospital to which illness has
confined him for nearly month. 1t is
straightforward and plainspoken-in
fact, Characteristic of the man who
made it. As to the recent attacks which
Judge Darling has seen fit to make on
his Americanism Mr. Howe points to his
record as sufficient refutation, and the
public unquestionably will agree that it
is sufficient In connection with the
liquor question Mr.. Howe takes the
ground that there is wide difference
between the local option-prohibition is
sue as applying to this state and that
of national prohibition, giving the i'm
preston that he is as much n believer as
ever in local option for Vermont al
though willing to see the manufacture
and sale of all liquor prohibited by con
stitutional amendment. In closing he
draws a parallel which is certain to APP
peal to the average Vermonter: envy
opponents have almost unlimited wealth
at their command and are seeking to
canvass and organize every town and
county. / have not one single agent OF

WHO OWNS THE wOoDCHUcKS?
Writer on Boston Post Comments on
Letter in The Reformer.

Newton Newkirk. who conducts col
umn of fun and satire in the Boston Post
under the title All Sorts, comments as
follows on a recent communication in
The Reformer
Ill. A. Howe, a resident of Brookline
Vt, IN recent letter to The Brattleboro
W.T. Reformer, advances new and
unique argument concerning the protec-
ton OF wild game in his state. He says:
The state admits its liability in pay
ment for damage to crops done by deer.
but these payments are usually made
quate, and deer are only one of the nu-
merous wild things that do damage. and
the burden of support and damage is still
on the farmer. have recently been fined
500 and costs for killing a deer doing
damage on my own premises because /
did not conform to the law. | have
counted % deer at one time on my prem
lses. | have supported a herd of them
for five years on my farm, and the bur
den is upon me-"
The point Mr.. Howe makes is that
| since the state assumes TO own the wild
deer, the fishes in the brooks. foxes
j coons, muskrats, and game birds of vari-
Gus kinds. then the state must also own
the woodchucks, crows, grasshoppers. POI
tato bugs, cutworms and other pests too
numerous to mention; and since the state
owns these, the state should nav the
farmer for the damages they do to his
crops.
I Mr.. Howe intimates that he has not
only been supporting a considerable flock
3. OF deer, but that he has also been raising
. food for large number of sly old crows
producing sweet corn for the wood
chucks and vegetables for potato bugs
grasshoppers and cutworms, to say moth
ing of now and then plump pullet for d
sly old fox. If these pests were patriotic
and would show a disposition to Hoover
lze, it wouldn't be so bad; but they cal
all they can and are waxing fat and sassy
as result. Naturally Mr.. Howe desire,
to know who is going to pay the boare
bill. There is considerable food 70,
thought in his argument.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST, 2S, 1918.
A WORLD DOCTRINE.

In his recent address on the man
power bill Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts offered timely warn
ing against being beguiled by Germany
into peace of negotiation rather than
peace of dictation. No peace that
would satisfy Germany possibly could
satisfy us. That county must be beat
en- TO her knees, for only when she is so
beaten will she be in a position to
accept the peace terms on which the
remainder of the world must insist.
There were no iridescent dreams in
Senator Lodge S speech. He brought the
case out of the clouds down to the
earth where men live, move, and have
their being. He put forth concrete con-
ditions of peace. He went into particu-
lar dismissing distractions with a
phrase. We want just and righteous
peace, but just what do we mean by
that! We want to make the world safe
for democracy, but just what has got
70 be done to make the world safe
for democracy First in the order of
things Germany must be thoroughly
beaten. She must submit to the dicta.
tion of the allies. 1t is they who will
lay down the law, and she must obey
1t is they who will tell her what she
must do. The purpose of the allies is
not to annihilate the German people
but to make them behave. They may
do as they wish about their own form
of government, but they are to let all
others alone.
To soft-minded sentimentalists, per.
haps, Senator Lodge may appear to be
little less altruistic than they would
wish. Senator Lodge would ask these
just what they meant by altruism
America is in this war to save hel
own democracy, as we'll as to save the
world for democracy. She wants safe
and righteous peace for herself as wei
as for the rest of the world. She il
fighting for herself as well as for Grea
Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and fo
a true democracy in Russia. If this b,
selfish and not altruistic, make the mos
of it.
