HONOR FOR COL. REEVES

Those of us who are accustomed to
speak Familiarity Of Captain" Reeves may
experience difficulty in readjusting them
selves to his new title. but every one OF
us will rejoice in the deserved recognition
that has come to him in connection with
his important work in Washington. His
service to the military department of the
University Of Vermont has endeared him
to the people of Burlington and all
friends of the university for all time. All
of us will share with Norwich University
the feeling to which the Barre Times re-
fers as follows:
Norwich University men. as we'll as
many others in Vermont. will be pleased
to learn that Ira L. Reeves has been pro-
NOTED from Northumberland to colonel
in the United States army Colonel Reeves
IS stationed at Washington. D. c.. where
he has been for some time in the adju-
tant-general's office. A large number Of
people in Vermont are hoping that ne will
return at the end of the war and resume
his duties as president Of Norwich Uni
versity.''
In view Of the way in which Colonel
Reeves is gaining recognition for very
efficient work in Washington, we are privl-
eyed to hope he may return to the Green
Mountain State with a still higher military
title than that he now wears

paper is being sent to every soldier who

the boys that not only have the folks
at home not forgotten a single one Of
them, but they are also determined that
not a single boy shall forget his home
through their neglect to keep memories Of
that home green in his heart.
Every traveller is familiar with the news

country. where sign similar to this is
displayed: "Name your town. we have
the paper" And every traveller knows
the thrill of pleasure, with which he seized
the old home sheet and lost himself in the

NEW VERMONT NAMES
(By Daniel L. Cady.)

used to like the lowery days
That come along in haying time.
We'd hang around the horsebarn door
And hear the lies Of Jonas Prime:
And II 1t didn't sunburn off
By ten or arter, then we'd take
The old express and all pile in
And rattle out to Crystal Lake.
OF course. there want no Crystal Lake
About it then-'twas Pickerel Pond;
No villas" stood along the shore.
No Roman "insulas" beyond;
The cattails grew all round the edge.
The eel grass would have stopped a
snake
1t never touched our thinking caps
The place would get to be n lake.
We passed 1.-The Falls" a-going out,
Where Tommy Tracy had his forge
For forty years: but now they've gone
And named that sector Rainbow
Gorge:
You wouldn't s'pose they'd done tho
thing
Jest on account of Tommy's sake
Jest think of passing Rainbow Gorge
And ending up at Crystal Lake!
That greenish pond down Dorset way
And up by Checkerberry Hill
They've got n Checkerberry Mere:
1t kinder nips your home week nerve"
1t sorter makes your ear bones ache
| To hear a little pout pond called
Prismatio Nero or Silver Lake.
The life has fed from local words,
And antiquarians we'll may scoff.
When summer boarders name the earth
| And camp site boosters sell II off;
IL we're ashamed of all our names
Our history will soon unmake,
Joc's Pond will pose as Jasper Sea
And Molly's Pond as Moonstone Lake

KEEP THE SOLDIER BOYS POSTED

Many people have doubtless asked them
selves the question: '"Wll my boy. grant
ed he is spared through the conflict. re-
turn to his home or will he be content to
remain in some other country or some
other part of this country" And this Is a
war Is over there is going to be great in
ducement for our boys to settle down
away from their homes and become citi-
Gems of other countries. The war will
serve as refncr. separating the dross
from the pure gold. and the young man
who comes through with honor unfair
nished will be eagerly sought to fill places
of honor and trust
Now we naturally are anxious that our
boys do to forget the old home or become
\ weaned from home associations. We want
them to carry ever with them vivid pic
ture Of the home joys and pleasures az
| they knew them before Uncle Sam called
them to sterner duties. We want their
allegiance to hold to the old home with
all the home stands for In their lives.
To this end. are we taking the Right
course to keep the memory OF home ever
green with them? You say you are writ

the punishments had been apparently
without effect so that as a last resort, she
decided to notify Tommy's father Of his

THE BIG CITIES LOAN LAGGERs

THE BIG CITIES LOAN LAGGERS
Vermont is justly proud Of the fact |
that the town of Lyndon is the star COM
munity of all New England in connection
with the third Liberty Loan. OF all the
cities and towns in this section of the Uni. |
ted States that have oversubscribed their |
quotas Lyndon leads with per cent. Of
27s, it's subscription aggregating $4,000.
whereas its quota was only $1,000
In view of the splendid way in which
Vermont towns have responded to this APP
peal for the loan of money to Uncle Sam
to help prosecute this war to a victorious
end. it is difficult for many people to under
stand the failure of the country as a
whole. While more than one-half the pc
riod Of the third Liberty Loan campaign
has elapsed, not more than four million
persons Of the desired twenty millions have
subscribed, and less than half the mini
mum amount of 50. 600 200, 800 has been OBJ
tained.
Treasury department officials have call
ed upon Liberty Loan committees through
out the country to begin the strongest
selling efforts of the campaign. 1t Is
their hope to make the third week the big
selling week. Telling results are expected.
as a result of the added impetus to he
given by the observance of Liberty day on
Friday.
While the actual returns to the Federal
Reserve banks show slight advantage
over results for the corresponding period
in the second Liberty Loan. treasury de-
partment officials are not over optimistic.
There is a disappointment in the returns
from large cities, where the pace has not
kept up with that set in the second loan
campaign. The gain has all been In the
rural sections. where the returns have
been most surprising.
disappointment is expressed over the
7 apparent inclination of committees to stop
when they have reached their quotas.
