TO THE PUBLIC.

"All the worlds a stage" and the
editor stands before you to make his
how. He is glad to meet you and
hopes the pleasure is mutual?
One of the most important events
in his career was that he was born.
Being a homely little bug he was
named Fred for short. As a boy, he
was permitted to distinguish himself
by attending school where number
of lickings enabled him to learn that
the path to knowledge is beset with
rods in pickle.
Religion being part of liberal
education, he received half an hours
instruction in Scripture every morn
ing and attended Church three times
and Sunday School twice every Sun
day. Being thus well prepared to
argue religion, he refuses to do so.
Was in the submarine cable service
in London. ireland, Mexico and Gal
weston, Texas.
Newspaperman for four years and
Secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce at Mineral Wells Texas, for
four years. Mine clerk in Colorado
and bookkeeper at the Hickory Mill.
Never broke out of penitentiary
and, as the grapenuts advertisement
states, there's a reason"
Speaks English like an American
and Spanish unlike a native.
Is temperamentally so gentle that
one may strike him for ten spot
and he does not get angry. Although
English, he can take joke.
Some consider him wise; some
otherwise and he does not blame Ell
ther.

VERMONT BOYS
FOR WEST POINT?
Editor of The Register:

Editor of The Register:
For several years l have found it ex-
tremely difficult to secure competent
young men whom l might appoint to
the Military School at West Point or
the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
1t seems to me that this fact does
not speak well for the young men OF
Vermont and l shall be glad if you can
find some way to stimulate an ambition
on the part of some of the boys in
your school to fit themselves to enter
the service of their country at one or
the other Of these institutions.
have been in the habit of holding
competitive examinations and appoint
ing the young men who stood the high
est in these examinations regardless Of
his political or personal surroundings.
AT the last examination held, but
one boy appeared and l appointed him,
but he failed to meet the test when he
came up for the final examination.
= | now have two appointments at
Annapolis and one at West Point to
fill.
The necessary literature to enable a
young man to know what is required
as prerequisite for admission to these
schools will be sent to anyone writing
me therefor.
In short, the requirements for the
Army are that the appointee must be
an actual resident of the state, not I'M
der II nor over % on the date of adj
pission and not less than feet 4
inches at the age of II. For the Navy
the candidate must be not less than 16
nor more than 20 In both instances
he must possess good health, good ha-
bits, good morals and fair high school
education.
sincerely trust that I am not i'm
posing too heavy burden upon you
when urge that you bring these two
schools to the attention of your boys
commenting the advantages of the
schools and at the same time appealing
TO their patriotism.
Cordially yours,

BY Beatrice Fairfax.


Please do not regard the young
soldier who is just back from
France. with $50 in his pockets, as
an unworked gold mine in which
you propose to sink shaft and
haul up all your pet caprices.
If you care anything about the
boy, you ought to help him against
his besetting aim of extravaganza.
And if you don't care anything
about him, it's a shame to exploit
a lad who has been risking his life
fighting for you.
In any case, dc not be a polite
harpy who takes. takes, takes, like
the daughter of the horse leech
mentioned in Holy Writ. Or if you
do happen to have these acquisitive
talents. try them out on your civilian
friends who have not been away
from the glitter and glare and mu-
sic for such a long time as the
soldier. and who are on the whole
fairer game.
To a soldier boy, Just back from
France. the lure of luxury is doubly
strong. after the hardships of the
trenches and the rough billeting to
which he has been accustomed.
And he is apt to blow in the
last cent he has to hear the music,
see the lights and pal about with
a pretty girl once more. Only If
the pretty girl happens to be nice
as well. she won't let him spend
too much.
To fleece a returning soldier is
a good deal like taking the candy
from a child. only worse. because
the child is likely to be better off
without his candy. and the soldier
isn't at all likely to be better off
his money. And before the
young Doughboy gets back his old
job or gets shaken down into a new
one. he is likely to require every
nickel he can muster.
So if you feel that his safe return
demands a celebration. please don't
let it take the form of squandering
the pitiful sixty dollars. If much
spending is to be done. contrive to
do a share of it, at least.
A great many of the girls who
tactily encourage extravaganza on
the part of returning soldiers are
wage earners themselves. and they
know from the handling and manip-
ulation of pay envelope, the value
of money. But perhaps they have
never unselfshly thought of the
matter in the terms of cold cash be-
fore. and that is why I am putting
it into words for them now.
But selfish and unselfish alike.
they all seem TO expect when they
go out with a returning soldier. to
make some sort of a Roman holiday
out of the expedition. with Sammy
paying all the bills. And we know
how far out" it is possible to go.
these days. without spending a
succession of dimes, quarters
and even dollars.

suggesting for a moment the re-
