KURN HATTIN HOMES

For nearly twenty-five years the
New England Kurn Hattin Homes
have been quietly doing much needed
work. In the earlier years there were
times when the financial outlook was
so dark that it looked as if the work
must be given up. But brighter days
came and the Homes have come to
have so many friends and the endow-
ment fund has grown to such an
amount that the life OF the Homes is
assured. There is simply one question
and that how large a work the Homes
shall do.
Of late years, until the war came on,
income and expenses fairly balanced.
Notwithstanding the great increase in
the cost of everything, the Homes have
continued to do about the usual a
mount of work. And this has been
done although the receipts have failed
by considerable to keep up with the
increased cost of living That has
meant only one thing, an annual de-
felt since then. Something must be
done. The alternatives are less work,
with greater need than ever, or a
Special GllOll W SCNulG
1t seems an absolutely clear case that
not single thought should be given
to reduction in the amount of work
Hence a drive which is being inaugu-
rated this week.
The Homes could use to a very great
advantage a large amount of money
But they are asking friends of the
Homes to furnish, in gifts, large and
small and medium sized, S25,000,00
This will clear off the deficit and pro-
vide much needed emergency fund.
The drive is to be carried on by
mail If by any chance anyone should
be so unfortunate as to fail to receive
a direct appeal, the opportunity is
open to send in gifts to the treasurer,
Mr.. E. L. Walker, Bellows Falls, Yer
mont.

UNCLE SAM PAYS
FINAL WAR BILL
Seven Great Items That Must Be
Settled for Peace Will Be Met
by The Fifth Liberty Loan.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be
called the VICTORIOUS FIFTH, be-
cause, when it has been foated the
people of the country will be celebrat.
ing the victorious peace.
The Fifth Loan will come about mid
April, or just two years after the date
upon which we entered the war. 1t will
be more of a peace loan than war
loan 1t will be loan to make the final
settlement, squaring up the bill for
the war while the celebration of the
victory is still going on and the men
are streaming back from France by
hundreds of thousands.
A total of from five to six billions
will probably be offered. What the
money is needed for and why 1t is
needed is worth putting compactly
together. 1t brings to mind at a glance
what is demanded still by the great
tasks imposed by peace.
These are some of the chief items:-
/. Care for the American soldiers
in the Army of Occupation.
2. Providing for the second army
in the area behind the zone of occu-
patton.
3. Bringing home soldiers who have
been released from war duties.
4. Demobilizing millions of men up
on their arrival here.
5. Keeping up the environments and
hospitals In this country.
6. Re-habilitatlng and re-educating
men who have been wounded.
Z. Reconstruction work for the sol
diers and sailors.
Every one of the millions Of men
represented on this list have shared In
doing the nations work abroad.
Any American who stands by the
country will not fail to see now that
the peace debt is paid for the men
who have won peace.

The Sunday Noon Club

The Sunday Noon Club which was
first organized last year has been re-
organized with William Huggard as
president and Alice Wilson as secre-
tary-treasurer. Professor Sanford was
unanimously reelected honorary presi-
dent and leader The Club as before
is composed entirely OF college students
and meets every Sunday from u M. to
l2;40 p. M. in a separate room in the
Methodist Church. The membership
is at present over sixty and a special
pamphlet is now being printed con-
tanning the subjects for discussion and
the names of the members. The gen.
eral subject under consideration for
this year is "The Church Of $500 A. d."
The Club in conjunction with the
Epworth League held an informal
party in the social rooms of the Meth
odist Church last week Tuesday. About
1876 of the college and high school pu-
pills were present. The feature of the
evening was the prize contests. Light
refreshments were served.

O. X. WEEKS

The state papers greet Governor
Clements reappointment of John E.
Weeks of Mddlebury as director Of
state institutions with the satisfaction
that it deserves. No department of
the state government has received more
devoted attention in the past biennial
than Mr.. Weeks has given to the insti-
tutions under his care. The Brattle-
boro Reformer recalls that Governor
Clement i'll his inaugural message ex-
pressed the desire that the state insti-
tutions should be made self -supporting
as far as practicable, and the paper
notes that Director Weeks has antici-
pated this desirability.
Few realize" says the Reformer,
"the extent to which this policy has
been carried out. The state industrial
school at Vergennes in the past two
years has produced approximately
$500 in addition to its food supply;
the state school for feeble-minded at
Brandon $1,000; the house of correc-
ZION at Rutland $4,000 and the state
prison at Windsor $4,000.
1T must be admitted the above is
a very good showing and that the
making of our state institutions pro-
ductive as possible has been the pol
icy OF past administrations. To i'm
prove his own record will be a large
task for Director Weeks but people
are confident he will utilize his ex-
perience and ability acquired in the
past two years to the advantage of
the inmates of the institutions and of
the state in general. In other words
we may confidently expect a good
business administration so far as our
state institutions are concerned"
This confidence is not only warrant
ed, but it is butressed by something
even more important than Judge
Weeks ability to give the state insti-
tutions good business administra-
ton, and that is his love for humani-
tartan work Judge Weeks has made
an admirable guardian of the wicked
and unfortunate. His solcitude for
them has been carried, to our own
personal knowledge, often far beyond
the duties of his Office, into the realms
of his own heart. And that is the
real organ of efficiencyl

A BRISTOL BOY
ON THE RHINE

Bennett Hughes, son of Rev. and
Mrs. T B. Hughes, is probably one of
the youngest soldiers in his regiment,
as he was only II at the time of his
enlistment After leaving the high
school he entered Colgate university.
He is member of the Saith company,
9th regiment, U. S. marines, now form
ing a part of the American army Of
occupation on the Rhine. Following
are extracts from his letters:
Nov. l9-During October our regi-
ment was ordered to the Champagne
front as reserves for the French army.
From there we liked back to Solnme
Suippes where we were loaded into cars
and carried to the Verdun front At
Clermont we were unloaded and went
to the front by marching at night,
spending the day time in the woods
Early in the morning of Nov. LIST we
went "over the top" Our artillery
sent over a tremendous barrage and
the Germans were landing their shells
close enough to be uncomfortable. In
places the shells fell thick and fast and
/ was knocked down and covered with
dirt many times, but | seemed to be in
zone of comparative safety, and
never received a scratch, although half
the platoon was either killed or wound
ed. In one place we encountered re-
sistanCe from nest of machine guns
in a clump of trees. Then our tanks
came up and in few minutes the Ger
man crews came out on the run, hands
up and white rags flying Our objec-
tive was a village named Bayonville,
only three or four kilometers from our
starting point. Our platoon took
smaller village just outside of Bayou
vile and stayed there till the company
moved up. Fortunately we found
plenty of German blankets and we did
not suffer from the cold. Just about
when we were expecting to be relieved
we moved forward again and finally
ended up in forest near the Meuse
We were there on the 18th when the
guns stopped firing, and, believe me,
that day will long be remembered
There were not many of us left Shells
and sickness, death and wounds, had
reduced our company from $50 to g.

Mr.. Porter has one good quality,
alas! too rare in the case of so many
of our successful business men; he re-
members his home town and home as
sociations, and allows them to share in
his prosperity. He gave to Middlebury
College Porter Field, some sixty acres
of land which was, as / remember it,
part of the Porter homestead. He also
gave them farm connecting this field
with the river, thus insuring to the col
lege not only baseball, football, tennis,
and track athletics, but canoeing and
rowing in addition. He has contributed
very largely in money to the endow-
ment of Middlebury College and has
Just recently given that institution
money with which to build hospital,
available not only for the use of the
college, but also for the residents of
Addison County.
He is a very great and efficient work
er, with that quiet persistence that ac-
compGshes results, and he brings these
same qualities to bear, whether he be
engaged in financial or business trans
actions or in solving problems connect
ed with charitable, benevolent or educa-
tional institutions. He is a striking
exemplar of the public ideal of good
man.

The Lincoln Mountain Road

Representative l.. E. Jackman of Lin
coin has introduced a bill in the legis-
lature- calling for an appropriation of
$4,000 to be used in cutting down the
grade on Warren mountain. An au-
tomobile road over this mountain
would be of great benefit to the peo-
pie of Lincoln and Warren 1t would
open up market for farmers in War
rem who own timber land as the mills
in Bristol would be pleased to get the
lumber. AS a Crossstate road it
would be extensively used by automo-
bile tourists. We hope the appro-
priation will be made as the object
sought is in the line of real progress.
Bristol Herald.
Representative Jackman of Lincoln
has introduced a bill III "A to APP
propriate a sum not to exceed $4,000
to improve the grade of the main cross
road from Lincoln to Warren. This
project deserves the careful considcra-
ton of the legislature At the present
time the only feasible cross-mountain
road to the west side for automobiles
is by the way of Rutland. Cars have
gone over the mountain from Brandon
to Rochester and few cars have been
over Lincoln mountain, but with 80
per cent grade staring them in the face
few people care to make the trip. The
only other outlet from the west to the
east side of the state from this section
is by way of Burlington. The build
ing of this road would save some 30
miles and would open up scenic
route that could hardly be surpassed.
There is a good road between Mont
pelier and Warren and between Lin
coin and Bristol and New Haven, where
the main highway would be touched.
The distance from this city to Warren
is % miles from, Warren to Lincoln
seven miles, from Lincoln to Bristol
five miles and from Bristol to New
Haven five miles AS it is impos-
sible for small towns to bear the ex
pense of rebuilding roads of this charac-
ter, if they are to be done at all the
state must help State Commissioner
Bates has already perceived the bene-
fits and has expended some money to
cut down the grades, but large sum OF
money will be required to do thor

WHY FRESHMEN ARE GREEN
TFyOnt The CaubuS1

WHY FRESHMEN ARE GREEN
From The CGmbw]
You ask us, why are Freshmen
green?"
We answer, PLAINLY to be seen,
Because we're full of life and pep,
For even here we've won that rep"
Now, green's the shade of grass and
trees,
Of shrubs and plants, and, if you please,
All that grows and is worth while,
Witness Gods great outdoor style.
When natures green appears each
spring,
To each of us it seems to bring
Renewed desires to work and win.
Another color'd be sinl
Now, purple is a somber hue;
1t hints to me, and so to you,
Of corpses, mourning, things quite
dead.
Just suited to the Sophs, we've said
So green we love, and green we want;
It's not to us slur or taunt.
Symbolic of our growth and life
AS now we Freshmen start our strife.
