One day a woman reporter noticed,
in the front window of a quaint little
cottage, a service flag proudly bearing
four stars.
"Ah," thought she, there's real sac
rifice. I guess I'll stop in and get a
story"
She could get no response from her
persistent Knocking, and so she went
next door to see what information she
could collect in regard to the cottage
OF the four service stars. Upon ring
ing the neighbours bell she was con-
fronted by a rather stout. elderly wOm-

story. Then aloud, she said.

HAS RIGHT IDEA OF ECONOMY
How European City UtiIIzes Water
Power Which Otherwise Would Be
Of No Value.

An notwithstanding system which
utillzes power that would otherwise go
to waste has been installed in a school
In a southern European city. The ex.
listing hot-water pipes and radiators
are connected with a well-insulated'
water tank Of 1%,900gallons' capacity.
In this reservoir electric reslstances
are built, and at night are supplied
with current which raises the water
to we'll above the boiling point. The
cost OF the current is low because the
water power used to produce Ii nor

day the hot water is allowed to- circu-

Over 100000 Vermont spent last
year for transportation and about
half of this sum was met by the
towns. This represents 20 percent
of the cost of elementary teachers.
In many cases this transportation
has brought about decreased value
in farm property and brought great
anxiety to the parents, and the edu-
cation of the children has nj no
manner been advanced-rather
has there been taken away that COM
munity spirit so necessary to the So
cial life of rural communities, and
the, inspiration and ideals which
center around these little country
school houses and has in so large a
measure shaped the character and
inspiration of Vermonters. We are
glad the little country school houses
are again coming into their own.

SIanQ In the PULPIT

A striking instance Of the force Of
American "slanguage" is afforded in
one of Americas leading preachers.
The speaker, a doctor Of divinity, was
addressing a Canadian audience on,
Uncle Sans efforts. In q Commute
talk there occurred, among others,
these gems: :" "We are on this job to,
the finish. We are prepared to fight
till hell itself freezes over. and If Ger
many isn't beat then We'll buy skates
and get after her on the ice."l "This
kaiser is the biggest duplex, double
action. high-powered liar In history.
He told his people the Americans
could never get to France. WAL, he
and his people have got another

Much is-being said as to what Yer
mon5 should offer the returning
soldier boys to keep them at home.
Nothing, however, very specific is
told as to what this "offer" should
be. Vermont surely will give the
boys who come home the best the old
state has, and these opportunities
will be enlarged as time and occas-
sion. demand To us, this talk abuot
Offering" is all tommyrot. The
.'broader views" the boys have got
from their world mission of democ-
racy all draw closes the home ties
and the desire to get back home in
Goods country" and we venture to
make the statement that Vermont
will not lose a soldier as a citizen
from any "broader view" he has
taken from his trip overseas. Yer
mont should offer the boys returning
from the great work they have done
the best, and to the boys o%verthere
that best is to see the green old hills
where the homes have become dear
err and the opportunities far greater
to their hearts and visions changed
by contact with world conditions
they have helped to set right. We
will give the boys the best, and the
boys are wanting no MORE.

has proved the wisdom of their OBJ
jections, and now it is recommend
ed that these little school houses, so
far, as possible, resume school work
and the community spirit and inter-
est which was becoming lost under
the present system be restored. Our
school laws should be Immediately
changed for this purpose. There is
another very perplexing and unfair
