OUR BOYS WELL CARED FOR.
By Francis Rogers of The vigilantes.


Parents and friends need not fear that
the bodily wants of their boys in France
are not we'll provided for. Six months
ago, before our army machine got into
full swing, there was just cause for
complaint, but, so far my many OPP
portunities for observation give me
right to speak, conditions are now gen
orally satisfactory. Many times ! have
shared the soldiers mess and have never
failed to get a good meal. There are
no frills about the service, naturally,
but all the essentials are there whole
some food, ample in quantity and well
cooked. The former shortage Of cloth
ing and blankets is now remedied; our
boys are well clad by day and by night.
Hospital conditions, which last fall
were far from satisfactory, are vastly
improved. Now a sick or wounded boy
can count on being treated in a well
equipped hospital by the best American
surgeons and nurses. | CHANGED to be

brought to it with leg and an arm

The simple, regular, out-of door lie
has done wonders for the health OF the
boys. Their chests broaden, their cheeks

eyes brighten, they gain in weight.

Spring came early in France this year;
by the middle of January the soldiers
were out in the fields with their bats
and balls. Some of the Y. NJ c. A. huts

is given to boxing. Now that summer
has come am certain the boys are re-

In my opinion, most of our soldiers

in the actual fighting line-are now liv-

health than those under which they

Barre merchants who are affiliated
with the Incorporated retailers, having
considered at length plan to close their
stores on two afternoons each week in
order to enable the proprietors and clerks
to assist the farmers in haying, have
abandoned the project. At first there
seemed to be many attractive features in
the plan, but some of the objections were
of such nature that the merchants,
without taking any negative action, de-
cided to let the plan go by the board.
| Reports from other towns where the clos

gether convincing.

fair grounds it will not be necessary for
the state TO purchase tenting, which is a
big advantage, owing to the high price,
as well as the fact that it is hard to
obtain. The troops will be housed in
buildings on the ground, while the messes
will be served by caterer from White

When to Go Into Business for Yourself

If you wanted to 90 into business for
yourself and you had the chance to ask
wonderful business man such as A.
Barton Hepburn what your course should
be, would you grasp the opportunity
In the July American Magazine, B. C.
Forbes has an interview with A. Barton
Hepburn in which Mr.. Hepburn gives
some sound advice on going into bust
ness, how old man should be, and on
many other subjects. B, G, Forbes
says:
"'What is the most desirable age for
man to go into business for himself 2
I asked Mr. Hepburn.
"'When mans schooling has been
rounded out with enough practical bust
ness experience to way wise" him suffi-
GENTLY to see, in his minds eye, bal
ance sheet in any proposition present
ed and to determine, with reasonable
business certainty, whether profit or a
loss would be likely to result from the
adventure, he replied.
"'At twenty-one a man is entitled to
participate in the government, But the
law stipulates that candidate for the
presidency must be thirty five. 1t is
One thing to have gumption enough to
vote and another thing to have wisdom
enough to act as head of the national
government. 1t may be laid down as a
general rule that a man of twenty -one
needs some additional years of actual
experience in order to justify his en-
trance into business for himself, or the
assumption of the management of any
considerable concern"

The Need of Nurses.

The call for $4,000 young women to
train as nurses, like the Liberty loans,
the Red Cross drives, and the selective
service act, is a check drawn upon the
national resources by Uncle Sam, to meet
needs caused by the war across the wa
ter, Since the beginning Of this conflict,
even before we entered it, our doctors
and nurses have been going to France to
perform their great humanitarian work
among the soldiers wounded in battle.
Already there are many thousands Of
these workers in the great hospitals be-
hind the line in France and Belgium and
in all parts of the allied countries, and
the demand for more Of them has not
ceased. An army of 100000 American
soldiers in France will necessitate doc
tors and nurses proportionately, and con
slant calls for more volunteers for this
service may be expected.
Inevitably this response by the doctors
and nurses to the call Of humanity has
produced a critical situation at home.
Where the complaint was often seriously
made that we had too many doctors,
while a trained nurse in the home was
regarded as a luxury, we suddenly found
ourselves without enough Of either for
the imperative needs of our population.
Many physicians who had retired because
of old age after many years service have
gone back into active practice, and siren
uous efforts have been made to increase
the enrolment in the medical schools.
In precisely the same way 50 many
nurses are at work in the military and
naval hospitals that there are not enough
for the needs of the people at home. If
the shortage continues or increases, it is
easy to see how greatly the public health
will be menaced and a rise in the death
rate made possible. To prevent this,
young women are called to Garry on" by
enlsting in the United States student
nurse reserve, ready to start training in
civilian hospital or an army nursing
school.--Boston Globe.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
Why Notify Barnetta Brown of The
Vigilantes.

| had occasion one day to call up de-
partuent store on the phone, and en-
deavor to correct some mistake that had
been made. My experience with the
young man at the store end of the phone

scribed as modern attempt to raise the
dead. The resurrection proceeded far
enough finally to yield me the answer.

We have tried in many ways to over

GOALS OF RATION MESA REGION.
Investigations in Coal Fields in Colorado
and New Mexico.

The Ration Mesa region which stretches
across the boundary between Colorado
and New Mexico, about $50 miles south
of Denver, has recently been studied by
the United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior This region in
cludes the Trinidad coal field, in south
ern Colorado, and the Ration coal field in
New Mexico, which together include
about $500 square miles, and form one
of the most valuable coal-bearing areas
in the western states.
The coal-bearing rocks in this region
have generally been assigned to what is
called the Laramie formation, which is
typically displayed near Denver and is
supposed to have been formed during the
Cretaceous period-the period in which
the beds that are now exposed in the
great chalk cliffs of England were laid
down in the sea.
The name Laramie has been applied to
many groups of coal-bearing rocks of
different ages in the western United
States in the mistaken belief that they
were first called Laramie, but it is now
shown that some of these rocks are older
than the Laramie beds and that others
are younger
The results of the investigations re-

Says Burlington Does Not Warm to
Darling.

Strong opposition to the candidacy of
Charles H. Darling of Burlington for
governor seems to be developing in pref
ty much all quarters of the state. There
is decided opinion that he lacks the
proper mental perspective to qualify for
an executive position of this kind. There
is no question about Judge Darlings abil-
ity as an analytical lawyer and thor
ough student of history and current af-
fairs, but he lacks the broad vision of a
constructive executive and is devoid of
public spirit. AS personal character he
is suave and affable, but has never
shown his interest in public improve
ments of any kind. There is no warmth
of feeling for his candidacy even in his
home city.--Burlington Clipper.
