A Truthful Grocer.

II presume these eggs are strictly
fresh?" suggested the housewife as she
poked around in her pocketbook for a
dollar bill.
"Well, they were strict in their
youth" responded the truthful grocer,
but eggs is like great many people,
you know. Some Of 'em kinder relaxes
as they gets older, ma'am."

The Vermont Legislature has pass
en- the equal suffrage bill and hence
forth Vermont women can vote for
presidential electors. This is right,
although we are not great advocates
of wonem's suffrage. However, there
are sides to the question that give the
mothers full right of the ballot.
We do not believe the women ask for
suffrage because they have no rights,
but rather from the wish to help pro-
tect their children. Mothers are
anxious for the welfare of their child
rem and when they see the fathers
neglect to provide proper laws for
their children's protection, can we
blame them for asking the right to
make laws that will safeguard them.
The only fear we have on this quest
ion is that those best fitted to take
part in government will stay at home.

We believe il is not just the right
thing to make Frank C. Williams the
"goat" for all this auditor investiga-
ton, why not place the punishment
on those who first allowed these
}ahcrt-~as to be carried over? Mr..
Williams only followed an establish
e. precedent. There should be fair
ness shown il this investigation, and
the Investigations should be held be-
fore the public forgets all about the
other "goats" and thinks justice has
been done in the punishment of
Frank C. Williams. Williams has
manfully faced the charges brought
against him, now take up the others.
Now, not six months or year from

The legislators lose no time in
raising their pay, but up to the pres

work or thought to continuing the
pay of the soldir boys. For shame !!
These boys have passed through the

and should have first consideration.
The state surely will be Inundated

RED CROSS CANTEEN
At SORTING STATION
Red Cross Establishes Canteen at
Point Where Returning Soldiers
Are Sorted Out BY Officers.

In the huge classification camp at
Contrisson, south of Verdun, where
returning French, Italian, Belgian,
Polish and American soldiers who
have been prisoners In Germany are
sorted out" an American Red Cross
canteen, established after much diff
ficulty, has borne a heavy part of the
task of rendering easier the weary
hours Of waiting the men must go
through.
When Red Cross workers first ap-
peared at the camp that was growing
mushroom like, the military authori-
ties were unable to assign any space
for the canteen the workers sought to
opene The workers did not despair
however, and finally induced an old
French woman to rent them the cafe
she had but just opened. So great
was the crush when the canteen open
ed it was necessary to permit but fifty
soldiers to enter at one time and ther
for only ten-minute periods. With thu
dwindlng number of renatriated pris
oners conditions are better now ant
while the canteen is filled at all hour!
there2 are no weary waiting line:
seeking to enter.

EVENING PAPERS IN THE LEAD

The Editor and Publisher has com
piled some interesting information
concerning the newspapers Of the
United States.
There are 2,166 English language
dailies; SIG are morning newspapers
and 1,647 are evening newspapers.
There are more than three times as
many evening newspapers as there
are morning newspapers.
The total net paid average circula-
ton, of all of the dailies for the six
months period ending September 30,
1918, was 2S,625,O41. This was divid-
ed into 1927, 1877 for morning news
papers and 1S,373,9O4 for evening
newspapers.
An analysis of the circulation dis
closes the fact that more than one
person out of every four buys GaIiy
newspaper every day. Further analy-
sis shows that at least one copy Of a
daily newspaper goes into practically
every English speaking home. Ac
cording to the Editor and Publisher
and it proves it by figures, in com
parison to any other form of paid adj

even more vigorous prosecution of its

in cantonments, camps and naval sta
tons here and abroad.
Money for chaplain service and for
the War Commissions women's work
is required in the largest amounts. TO
maintain the chaplains' discretionary
allowances, and to supply the neces-
sary equipment for the 269 Episcopal
chaplains still in the service, the
Commission needs $4,000. The wo-
mems work, which has been carried
on so effectively through the Girls
Friendly Society, that the War Camp
community Service left the field en-
tirely to the Commissions agencies
requires 100000.
The Army and Navy Council OF the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew, which has
maintained personal contact with Co.,
900 men of the church in the service

FROM WALTER MEIER.

Illerich, Jan. 5,
Dear friend Joe:
Well Joe how are you getting along
these days? | thought | would drop
you few lines and send it across the
ocean to find out whether my old
friend has forgotten me. I thought
we were done with the war when the
armistice was signed and we were re-
called from the Verdun front in Ar
come valley. But alas we were not.
We hiked it through Lorraine and
then on to Luxembourg where we
ate Thanksgiving dinner and rested
few days and then crossed the riy-
er into Prussia, Germany, and hiked
until we reached the big mountains
We travelled up and down until we
reached the big pineries they have in
this country. The scenery along the
Rhine is beautiful When it SHOWS
we can see the tracks of deer and
rabbit but are not allowed to hunt
them. We are drilling about hours
every day and after that we take our
horses out for exercises and also do
guard duty. | am on guard every
fourth day on four hour walking
post Guarding is a snap here. | do
not know when we will get relieved
from this territory. We are now on
the Rhine. I'll consider myself lucky
if | get back by next Christmas but
hope it will be sooner. | saw enough
of the battle on three fronts so think
did my duty to help win the war.
We haven't had bright d y of sun
shine since we landed on the Rhine
Cold damp rains every day. Don't
fear any soldier will make his home
in this enemy country. The German
people treat us civilly and we can't
complain. They are 100 years behind
the times as they are also in France.
Their houses and barns are almost
under one roof The odor from the
barns at times is almost unbearable.
The women do all the work around
the barn. They do their threshing by
hand They take long poles and
pound the straw. That's the way
they do things in Germany. 1t would
take you farmers all winter to get
your grain threshed that way. They
grow large COW beets and feed them
to their oxen and COWS. The carts
are all drawn by oxen There are
very few horses in this country. They
used them all in the war. Those that
came back are either gassed or Grip
pied and the poor people buy them
for 100 marks or more. BY this you
can judge they don't farm much over
here They sow their rye and wheat
in little patches like we do our gard
ems at home.
Well l will close for this time, wish
ing you all good luck for the year
1919 and also my best wishes to your
folks at home and brothers and sis
ters So goodbye.
Pvt Walter E. Meier.
