Result of Savings Stamp Campaign.

The canvass for war savings stamp |
pledges in the town of Vernon result |
ed as follows: Total number of
pledges secured, is; war savings

up TO and including canvass. $2.12575:
amount pledged 10 be bought before
Jan. !. 1919, $4,3032j. This makes a
total of 5000 bought and pledged for
The town was divided into five diff
fcrcnt districts and The amount raisad
in these districts was divided among
the solicitors as follows: Roby Wright,
S2,GOl2j; Lucy Burrows, $9SS.71;
Edith Brooks, $1,000; Amy Allen,
$3.50; Ernest Dunklce, 81 1850. There
has been enough purchased since the
meeting Friday evening to bring the
total ny TO nearly $4,000 As the dis
tricts allotted 10 the solicitors varied
greatly in population and wealth, no
just comparison can be made between
districts.
Vernon Is allotment as figured on the
1910 census is $l2,120, but the present
population is only $50 or 4Sj at the
most, aud if each person pledged the
$2O called for the amount would be
but $1,000. Figuring thus the town
would lack little over $4,000 of ego
ing over"
Another reason why Vernon has not
pledged larger ON the w. $. s. is be.
cause of her largo Liberty loan pur.
chase, quite n number Of the bonds be
ing paid for by monthly payments
and those paying for bonds did not feel
able TO make large pledges for stamps
Since Vernon exceeded her quota. foi
bonds by about $500. if the two could
be connected it would be seen that Yer
non is well over the top.
However, Vernon has some more
pledges yet TO come in and it is believed
she will buy much above her pledge
Those who have not pledged may do s,
by seeing the town chairman, f. w
Dunklcc, or any Of the solicitors. i
there is any questions about one Z
pledge consult with the town chair
man.
The war savings meeting which wa
held Friday night was well attended
Excellent addresses were given by Hor
ton d. Walker and Rev. d. L. Trout
also by Arthur Miller and a. \. Dun
klcc. The duets by Mrs. Miller an,
Mrs. Stcbbins were much enjoyed, ais
the two selections by the Vernon choiI
a good number were induced to rails
their pledges, and some new pledge
were given.

WHY STOMACH TROUBLES IN
 CREASE.

After examining more than 100,- 900 drafted men, New York physi- clans have come to the conclusion that a certain famous Rochester surgeon was right when he con- demned the modern parctice of wearing belts. The chief of one of the examining boards summarized the opinions arrived at by himself and his fellow physicians.
 Until we were forced to examine hundreds of thousands of men," he said, 'I never took the question se- riously of whether it was better to wear belt or suspenders. Now, I know that this is a very vital ques- tion and that the innocent belt Is responsible for many of the abdOm- inal troubles so prevalent in this country
 Fifteen years ago you hardly ever heard of appendicitis. Fifteen years ago nearly 90 per cent. of American men wore suspenders, thus leaving their abdomens free and uKcontracted. Then came the fad of wearing belts and appendicitis operations became more common. Before the advent of the belt you seldom heard of stomach troubles and when they did happen they were usually the result of over-in- dulgence. Nowadays more men are wearing belts than wear suspenders and it is almost the exception to his abdominal regions

 That the East and the West are evenly matched as regards trap shooting ability is proven by a pc rusal of the 1917 averages compiled by the International Trapshooting Association.
 It is singular, likewise, remark able, and it does not seem possible that the combined averages of the highest ten shooters from each sec tion of this great country should be the same -.9644, but that is what the Interstate Association "dopester" says they are. That is just about as close as any one could expect in one years shooting.
 But we did little figuring on our own hook and getting the thing down to the smallest of fractions we find the est has fraction the better of the statistics, viz:
 West .964119; East, e64353
 That isn't much difference to be sure, but we didn't want to proclaim to the world that the high ten shott- CTS of the East and the highest ten of the West deadlocked to the frac- ton on 55,000 targets, and have some other dopester writing to the Edi- tor informing him that the figures were incorrect. Whatever joy there is for the Western shooters in the margin given above they are wei come to.
