BRINGS ACTION FOR 81.
John H. Mimms Says 'Tisn't the Money
but the Principle of the Thing.


John II. Mimms of Burlington has
brought mandamus proceedings against
Benjamin Gates as auditor of accounts
to recover So, which Mr.. Mimms claims
the state owes him as a part of his sal.
ary as court reporter at the March term
of Chittenden county court. The petition
has been filed in supreme court and will
probably be argued at the next term
The petition sets forth that Mr.. Mimms
was entitled to $3.50, which was paid him
and that after it was paid he received a
letter from Mr.. Gates, asking him to re.
fund the So, with the promise that if
the auditor was not right he would again
pay Mr. Mimms and the petition claims
that the auditor has neglected and re-
fused to right the wrong.
While the sum involved is small. It
appears from the petition that it is the
policy that Mr.. Mimms wants to correct
and that he proposes to make test case
of the matter. 1t seems, according to
the petition, that the account was audit
ed by Judge S. @. Wilson allowing SIC
for the first Is days of court and that
during that time Mr.. Mimms had to 90
to Boston on the third Liberty loan;
therefore, the court had to use different
reporter for day and Mr.. Mimms was
not entitled to the higher pay for one of
the first Is days. Many sections of the
general laws, as we'll as court rules, are
cited in the petition.

BARRE CALLED ON TO HELP.
Contributions of Clothing and Material,
for the Belgians.

The Barre branch of the Red Cross will
conduct campaign from Sept % to
Sept. 30 to secure clothing and material
! for clothing to be sent to the suffering
people of Belgium and northern France.
This local campaign is part of nation
wide effort to relieve the suffering of
these ten millions of people who are back
of the German line The headquarters of
the Barre campaign will be at the Church
street schoolhouse and all are earnestly
requested to make donations of articles.
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the com
mission for relief in Belgium, appealed to
the American Red Cross to collect an
additional 5000 tons of clothing for the
Bolgians. The request was gladly re-
ceiyed, as the American Red Cross vel
comes the opportunity to render such
needed service. Below will be found
mention of what to send and what not to
send:
The Kind of Garments Needed.
Every kind of useful garment, for all
ages and both sexes, is urgently needed.
In addition, piece goods-light, warm
canton flannel and other kinds of cloth
from which to make garments for new
born babies, ticking, sheeting and blank
cts, woolen goods of any kind-and shoes
of every size are asked for. Scrap leath-
er is needed for repairing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subjected to
the hardest kind of wear, only garments
made of strong and durable materials
should be sent. II is useless to offer to
any afflicted population garments of
tlimsy material or gaudy coloring. Make
the gifts practical.
Garments need not be in perfect con-
dition. A hundred thousand destitute |
in the occupied regions are eager |
to earn small livelihood by repairing |
gift clothing and making new garments |
adapted to needs with which they are
familiar.
Woolen goods of any kind whatsoever
are acceptable; soft hats and caps for all /
ages, and sweaters of any kind and size.
Do Not Send.
Garments of fimsy material or gaudy
,oloring, ball dresses, high-heeled slip
pers, etc. Stiff hats, either mems or
straw, dress or derby. ANY
ming containing rubber, raincoats, rub
Der boots, etc. Mote; Rubber heels can
easily be removed from shoes Books,
.oys, soap, toilet articles. Notes or com
of any sort or description
must positively not be sent.
Contributions will be received during
week days at the Red Cross rooms in the
Church street school building, Sept. % to
70, both dates inclusive, and the commit.
zee Of ladies having the matter in charge
will be on duty from o'clock a. m. until
o'clock p. m.
