Support the Home Guards.

Swantons efforts to establish com
pany of Home Guards should receive the
hearty support of the entire community.
So far. though only preliminary steps
have been taken, there has been consid
cradle enthusiasm shown and % have
signified their willingness to become
members of the organization.
All through the country Homo Guards
have been formed, composed of those
unable to serve their country on the fir
ing line. whose duties are TO render
whatever service might be necessary in
the matter OF home defense. The idea
has spread to most small communities
and it is a matter of commentator that
some of Swanton's enterprising citizens
have decided to place this town in the
Home Ranks
As a matter of fact, there is no town
in the state of Vermont that needs a
good, live, enthusiastic company of
Home Guards any more than Swanton.
Possessing industrial enterprises of con.
siderable magnitude engaged in work of
such vital value to Uncle Sam at this
particular time, Swanton needs, as can
plainly be seen, whatever protection the
townspeople are able to give. There
should be no hesitancy in endorsing the
Home Guards, nor should anyone hold
back
The occasion might some time arise
when Home Guards would mean saliva
tion for the town. 1t is the very best
sort of community insurance. -~Swanton

of the United States is conciliatory there
is no weakening of the demands which
the United States makes. In fact, the
definite expression of the aims of the
nation are more insistent than they have

Germany RECEIVERS from the thrslldom of

President Wilson's address before Con-
gress on Jan. cannot be construed 9th
erwise than as an effort TO drive further
in the wedge, which had been previously
started between the German people and
their present government. In carrying
out that purpose the president disayows
any purpose on the part of his govern
ment to secure territorial aggrandize-
ment or to gain anything but the peace
of the world; and at the same time he
strives to convey to the minds of the
German masses that the United States
has no desire TO handicap Germany in
the legitimate lines of world activity.
Our one aim is 10 put down bloody mill
tarism whether il be in Germany or any

Baseball would be luxury, no doubt, in

have to climb mountain in making a

SANFORD BELIEVES
RUTGERS IS BEST

Coach Sanford radiates enthusiasm
enough under ordinary conditions, but
just now he is full of what might be
termed superenthusiasm. His Rutgers
football team of last season was about
as good as any college eleven of re-
cent years, but this years team is
the best ever-a whale" He hasn't
been able to give the players very
much scrimmage. but in what little
they have got they have shown up
remarkably well Sanford has nine
veterans and two substitutes OF last
season and he has quite an aggrega-
ton OF second-string men. among
whom are several corking good fresh
men. Robeson,. the best end in the
country in 1917. is back again. 20
pounds heavier and faster than ever.
Sanford promises a rare treat to
those who see the negro in action.
Kelly. Gardner, Keitner, Neuschaeffer
and the other veterans are better than
they were last season for the reason
that they were only infants" then
and have added Il years weight and
maturity. At that they are mighty
young now.
