JUMPED ON CAR THAT
WAS HOGGING ROAD

Montpelier, Sept. flames Laird,
who has been playing baseball and fol-
lowing athletics considerably since
leaving Montpelier high school few
years ago, including pitching for Col
gate, demonstrated to the driver OF
large truck one day last week while on
his way to st. Johnsbury that the
driver could not "hog" the road Two
cars had been trying to get by the
truck, but the driver did not permit
it. Mr.. Laird, better known as "Jum,"
jumped out Of his automobile and,
running, overlook the truck, climbed
to the back Of it and then over the top
to the driver. He made some direct re-
marks at the driver with the result
that the truck moved to one side OF the
road. "Jum" dropped off and, getting
into his own car as it came along,
handed the truck driver another bit OF
advice.

closer to Katherine than have TO any
other Of my Indian friends. She con-
fidcd in me, and we talked over church
work and she is going to try TO work
up sewing meetings among the women.
We made several calls at homes we

had very friendly chats with all the
women at the service and really feel
as if this trip had gotten me quite a
bit farther into the hearts Of the
people,
1--WE have been spending the sum
mer doing as much of this kind OF
customary work rs possible, trying to
get into the homes and hearts Of these
Indian friends of ours. But we have
been greatly hampered by lack Of ade-
quate conveyance. The horses here do
not belong to the mission, butt are
private property which can be hired
only when not needed for farm or
other use. One weekend, when horses
were not available to 20 TO Shell
Creek, 25 miles away, we hired local
man to take US there in his Ford and
we spent the day calling, stopping at
33 different places in those few hours.
It would have taken us days to make
those calls with team. But auto hire
is very expensive these days. The
mission ought to own a Ford car In
this country Of great distances. 1t
would make an untold difference in
the amount the missionaries could do
They could keep in much closer touch
with their people and could double or
treble their efficiency.
al am wondering if any of our good
friends in the east, individually or In
group, would care to do anything TO
meet this need. They could certainly
feel that it was most worth while and
would surely be interested in the ac-
counts we could send Of the good their
gift was accomplishing. We are al
ways glad Of their interest anyway
and we often thing of them.

FOX KILLED BY AUTO
One of Silver Grey Variety Run Down
Near Milton

A handsome silver grey fox, meas
uring over three feet and weighing
eight and half pounds, was brought
TO Burlington recently by B. d. Martin
of Milton, whose son, Theodore Mar
tin, accidentally killed the animal late
Friday night.
The skins Of silver grey foxes are
worth their weight in gold, and this
one undoubtedly would have been
worth a very great deal If II had been
what is called prime. It was not quite
prime enough, though a handsome
animal
Theodore Martin and a party OF
friends were motoring home from
dance at Colchester when suddenly
near Milton, they spied the fox run
ming ahead of them down the road. u
crossed, but continued In the road, and
then turned 10 look back. Mr.. Martin
swerved his car as he did not want to
hit the animal, and thought he had
not, but a companion called TO him to
stop and going back they found the
fox dead in the road. The ear had
passed over his head.
The animal probably will be sold 70
Prof. Geo n. Perkins for mounting.

SCARCITY OF BOYS
Qualified and Willing to Enter West
Point and Annapolis.

The following letter is being sent
by Senator Carroll S. Page to the var
ious high schools and academies in
Vermont
"For several years past | have
found it extremely difficult to secure
competent young men whom | might
appoint to the Military School at West
Point or the Naval Academy at An
napolis.
ut seems to me that this fact does
not speak well for the young men CT
Vermont and | shall he glad if you can
find some way to stimulate an ambi-
ton on the part Of some Of the boys
in your school to fit themselves to en-
ter the service of their country at one
or the other of these institutions.
81 have been in the habit of holding
competitive examinations and appoint
ing the yong man who stood the high
est in these examinations regardless
of his political or personal surround
ings.
"At the last examination held, but
one boy appeared and appointed him
but he failed to meet the test when
he came up for the final examinations
II now have two appointments at
Annapolis and one at West Point to
fill.
"May | ask that you will in some
way find occasion to elaborate upon
this matter and at some proper time
speak for these wonderfully fine
schools and see if you cannot en-.
courage some of your scholars to fiji
themselves for the training which
these schools give.
"The necessary literature to enable
a young man to know what is required
as prerequisite for admission Il
these schools will be sent to ANYONE
writing me therefor.
"In short, the requirements for tn
Army are that the appointee must b
an actual resident Of the state, not un
der II nor over 22 on the date of ad
mission and not less than feet 4 in
ches at the age of II. For the Nav
the candidate must be not less than !
nor more than 20. In both instance
he must possess good health, good hab
its, good morals and fair high schoo
education.
II sincerely trust that | am not i'm
posing too heavy burden upon 20
when | urge that you bring these tw
. schools to the attention of your boy
commencing the advantages of tn
schools and at the same time appeal
ing to their patriotism"
