The name of F. f. Carr of Lyndon

IN the Canadian casualty list Yesterday
1t would be interesting to know how
many boys of Northern Vermont towns
enlisted in the Canadian contingent
long before the United States entered
the war. Dozens of Vermont names have
appeared at different times in the re.
ports sent out from Ottawa, and a large
percentage of them paid the suprem,

NOT AKIN TO NEW THOUGHT.
Christian Scientist Points Out Error
in Reformer Advertisement

Editor of Reformer:
In the columns of The Reformer there
appeared an advertisement of patent
medicine, its merits being vouehed for
by an advocate of New Thought.
In his testimonial, the Young man SAID:
1" am an advocate of New Thought
akin to Christian Science}.' Christian
Science has absolutely nothing in COM
mon with the use of material means
or with the system of New Thought 4
which is referred to. To be ssakin to-
signifies CALLED by nature; partaking
of the same properties; of the same
kind. Inasmuch as the divine Mind,
or God, is the basis of Christian Science,
it is allied by nature to God; and in
asmuch as the human mind is lead
ing factsr i'll all other systems. these
other systems, including New
Thought do not therefore partake of
the ''same properties as Christian
Science, since Christian Science Is
founded, not ON the human or Gear
nal mind y but, on the teachings of
Christ Jesus. the Master Metaphysician;
derives It's sanction from the Scriptures;
and is practiced in accordance there
with. In Matthew ", %, the record
reads, = And Jesus went about all Gal
lice, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom
and healing all manner of sickness and
all manner of disease among the peo-
pie. 1nasmuch as Christian Scientists
take the works as well as the words of
the Master as their example, it is self
evident that their religion is far from
being ''allied by nature to system
which its "advoeatc admits is in har-
mony with the use of material means
for healing.
Very truly yours.

WARDENS' BUSINESS
TO ENFORCE THE LAW
County Warden Metcalf Replies to Rol
lin childs-Legislature Responsible

o-"-~~~>~-S
for the Deer Law.
Editor of The Reformer:-
l read with interest tbe noet;eal,v
inclined effusion penned by Rollin
Chllds and referring to ssbeautiful
eer' and indifferent game wardens. },
which appeared in your issue of last
Friday.
In reply | would suggest. that Rollin
should, perhaps, get himself elected TO
a position in the legislature and change
the law if he wants to save the deer.
Fish and game wardens have to en-
force the laws of that department un-
der the direction of the state fish and
game commissioner and assisted by
state IS attorneys, as they stand on the
books today, not as they formerly were.
or as, perhaps, they should be. Rollin
may write poetical illusions until the
ice is nine feet thick on fish ponds in a
place popularity supposed to be several
degrees warmer than Brattleboro and
still not prevent some farmers from
shooting deer in their clover patches,
because the law lets them do it and they
are strong for that law.
1t is true that one woodchuck will
usually do more damage in clover
patch than six deer, but the farmers
do not eat woodchuck meat to any
great extent, and some OF them don t
even trouble themselves to modest him
very much, but when the pork barrel
gets low and the law is on their side
some of them do replenish their meat
supply with venison and let the wood
chuck continue to chuckle among the
clover plants.
1t is true that some farmers need
very little provocation to slaughter a
deer, but from my work among them
find that a majority of our agrieul-
| turists are inclined to live up to both
| The spirit and the letter Of the law, and
| have substantial damage to show the
| warden when he goes to investigate.
Truly everv question has two sides,
| but the farmer who has suffered sub
stantial and continued damage from
deer does not stop 70 be poetical when
he sees an old doe taking toll from his
| cherished crops, especially if she per-
sists in staying after he has repeated
ly "shooed' her away On the other
hand there are a few farmers who get
so hungry for venison that costs only
the price of bullet that they crowd
close to and almost over the line fixed
by the law, and shoot deer early and
often, even when they have very lit
| tie damage to show.
If both sides of the deer question
could be considered impartially, and
| if the extreme partisans on both sides
| would practice moderation, the result
| would undoubtedly be more to the salts
faction of the public in general
| If the law, in the minds of a majority
of the voters, is wrong, then it is the
duty of the legislature to change it.
| Ny duty is to enforce the law, as well
| as may be under existing conditions, as
| it stands on the statute books at the
present time. / remain.

Refuses To Don Uniform
 of Country

Leputy United States Marshal El- mer Hinkle of Batesville, passed through Newport Friday morning en- route home from Camp Nike, to which place Thursday he delivered Duane Swift, a young man of Batesville, to government authorities. Young Swift under selective draft regula- tions, was supposed to have gone to Camp Pike from Independence coun- ty with a quota of other selected men several days ago. He failed to re- port.
 Swift is conscientious objector and when delivered to Camp Pike stated that he would not wear the un- form of his country. It is presumed he will be tried by court martial. He has been engaged in preaching against the war for some time, hav- ing been arrested at one time in a south Arkansas town, where he taught school, and where it is said he made the statement that he would rather be shot than serve in the army. Young Swift is graduate of Arkan- sas College at Batesville, a football star, and until he placed himself in his present despicable position, was a young men of many splendid attain ments which made him popular among his friends.
 Young Swift's present state of mind is due to the teachings of his father, A. D. Swift, who for long time has opposed the war now being waged. Doubtless, if the elder Swift continues his present manner of opposing his country's progress, his case will be properly looked after by government authorities.

This rule by no means shuts out the efforts of any who may wish to do something for the Red Cross. All properly planned entertainments and benefits are &C., 'ceptable but this rule prevents inn proper usage of the Red Cross to ob- tain money that might otherwise not be forthcoming.
