PROGRESS OF THE
ARMENIAN DRIVE
Ringing Message from President
Wilson

The campaign for "Relief in til,
Near East" is we'll under way in st
Johnsbury.
The various local churches gave
splendid assistance in bringing tn
matter to the attention of the people
and the meeting at the Armory Mon
day night settled all doubts as tc
the immediate necessity OF this cam
paign.
No one who heard General Aga,
petain Monday night could fail to be
touched by his description of the ter.
rible conditions which have existed
and still exist in these stricken coun-
tries and no one who is able can fail
70 respond for relief funds.
st. Johnsbury's thirteen teams of
solicitors are now busy canvassing
the town and beginning tomorrow the
Caledonian will publish reports show
ing the progress of each of these
thirteen teams of workers.
This campaign is backed by the
great statesmen and prominent men
Of our country including Hon. Will
liam Howard Taft, Hon. Charles
Evans Hughes, Charles W. Elio.,
James Cardinal Gibbons, Vance c..
Mccormick, Henry Morgenthau, John
II. Mott, and many others, and it is
urged by the President in the follow
ing proclamation:
For more than three years Ameli-
can philanthropy has been a large
factor in keeping alive Armenian, Sy-
rian, Greek and other exiles and re-
fugees of Western Asia.
On two former occasions have APP
pealed to the American people in be-
half of these homeless sufferers,
whom the vicissitudes of war and
massacre had brought to the extrem-
est need.
The response has been most gener-
Gus, but now the period of rehabili-
tation is at hand. Vastly larger
sums will be required to restore these
once prosperous, but now impoverish-
ed, refugees TO their former homes
than were required merely to sustain
life in their desert exile.
1t is estimated that about 100000
Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other
war sufferers in the Near East will
require outside help to sustain them
the winter. Many of them
are now hundreds of miles from their
The vast majority of them
are helpless women and children, in
Guiding 100000 orphans.
The American Committee for Re-
lief in the Near East is appealing for
4 minimum Of $30,0O0,0O0 to be sub
scribed January 1918, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs !
Of these people.
|, therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain through the winter months
those, who, through no fault of their
own, have ben left in a starving,
shelterless condition, and to help re-
establish these ancient and sorely OPP
pressed people in their former homes
IN a self-supporting basis.

Carriers Denounce
Burleson as Car and
Ask For His Removal

Philadelphia. Sept. S.-Further
denunciation of Postmaster General
Burleson and of the irefticiency of
present postal practice, and resolu-
tons for betterment of the condi-
tions of postal employees, marked
the second days meeting of tie let
ter carriers convention.
James Forester. of Toledo, Ohio,
Railway Postal Clerks spoke for
the immediate retirement of Burle-
son,
There can be no peace or armis-
tice in the contest between postal
employees and the present manage
ment of the postal system until the
autocrat, Burleson, is removed from
the job he has dishonored-yes
can say disgraced. Organized labor
is with you until Burleson is re-
tired to his home in Texas, from
which he never should have been
called"
Other speakers supplemented
Forrester's remarks. among them
Congressman Henry Goldfogle, of
New York. of the House committee
of post Office and post roads. He
pointed out the inefficiency of the
present management by which it
took a special delivery letter twelve
days to travel from Washington to
Cleveland.

Diabetes Treated
Successfully

Medical science admits of no def
mite cure for Diabetes, despite the
many years of experimenting and re-
search by physicians. However. this
popular theory might be called fall
lacious if one were to judge from
the following unsolicited testimonial
from a grateful user of Warmers
Safe Diabetes Remedy:
y had been troubled with Dia-
betes for s years. l heard about
Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy and
1 tried some of it and got myself in
good condition and went to work
again. one man said he doctored
for . years and that ore bottle of
Warmers Safe Diabetes Remedy did
him more good than all the doctors.
I am much pleased and so thank
full for your life-saving remedy that
I cheerfully recommend it to any
one troubled with Diabetes and 1
hope this will be the cause of help
ing many sufferers" (Signed)

NEW JUNIOR HIGH
HELPS SCHOOL WORK
Faculty of Edison Building to Teach Many New Subjects TO
Former Grade Pupils

The boys and girls of the ninth
grade who reported ut the new Edi-
son Junior High building were
much pleased with the building and
its equipment. Although the build
ing is not entirely finished and
some inconvenience will be suffered
for some time the boys and girls
are quite willing to undergo these
for the splendid promise of the
future. There is no doubt the boys
and girls of eighth and seventh
grades will be as much pleasedwhen
they report tomorrow morning and
afternoon in the order named.
Because of the unfinished state
of the building the authorities will
not have the entire school report
at any one session for some time.
Until the building is entirely finish
ed and the organization completed
one half of the school will meet in
the forenoon and the other half in
the afternoon. Because of this ar
rangement the student will have a
half-holiday doing one half of his
daily program one day and the
other half the next day. The prin-
cipal hopes TO get the boys and girls
down to a full days program in
the near future.
In the meantime the faculty will
be doing a full days work because
of the fact that the building is
new and that everything must be
put in order. This means that the
teacher, especially those who have
to care for shops and laboratories
will have much work to do when
the students are absent. The
teachers who do not have so much
work to do. to put their rooms in
order will be given work from the
Office of which there will be a great
amount so that the records and
such things may be properly cared
for.
Find Work Different
The students find their work will
be vastly different from the work
usually done by the seventh. eighth
and ninth year grades. In the pro-
grams there is ample provision for

ENACTS ANTI-STRIKE LAW

The Alabama Legislature has re-
warded workers of that State who
fought in the great war for liberty
and democracy by passing law
against strikes. A penalty of $1,000
is provided. Opponents of the law
declare that, if it is enforced to the
letter it will be impossible for any
group of Alabama workers to sus-
pend work. Section two of the bill
is as follows:
"Any person, firm or corporation,
who enters in to any agreement, COM
bination or understanding with an
other or others that the party SO
agreeing shall not engage in or aid
in carrying on public service, or who
so agrees or conspires with others to
prevent, retard or impede third per-
sons from engaging in or working at
any public service, shall be guilty of
misdemeanor."

MY REQUEST

Good morning, Mr.. Cooper,
Thanks, I'm feeling better,
So I thought I'd just drop in
With a little business letter.
Perhaps an introduction,
Will not be out of place,
For probably you've forgotten
NV bright and smiling face.
I'm the Superheater Guy,
That works in grease and SCOT,
That's why Bill Browning tells me,
I'm just a simple nut.
But at that, do not worry,
For | have enough to do.
And a good old nut is just the thing
When it's on the proper screw.
And that's what I've been doing,
All summer in the heat,
And often when it's raining,
And | have got wet feet.
l take a superheater
And cut brand new thread,
And like a good old rooster,
On the wrench, both feet | tread.
You know I'm not complaining,
So please don't turn your back.
Is superheater shack.
The only thing I'm asking for
An old straight board shanty
With gas, air and steam.
Also a little work bench
And life will be a dream.
And over in the corner
You can put little sink
Also, little fountain
Where | can get drink.
And don't forget the juice bug,
So | can have light,
For it's often superheaters
Must be repaired at night.
Remember, I'm not asking
For a carpet on the floor,
Or curtains on the windows,
Or bell upon the door.
Or little brown jug
Filled with first class booze,
Or a cot in the corner
Where | can take a snooZe.
But just little shanty,
Whitewashed and looking swell.
And one of those new lockers,
It's door don't squeak like HI.
And then I'll be happy
AS anyone I know,
Providing l get the shanty
Before it starts to snow.
And remember this, Friend Cooper,
My task I'll never shirk,
That's if | get the shanty
Where | can do the work.
-Alfordson.

Keep your dollars at work. The
idle dollar not only loafs it runs away
and never comes back. The best way
to keep your dollars working and to
tie them down is to invest them in
War Savings Stamps.
