L. NJ. WHITE Editor of the Ledger,
has been offered an appointment vita
excellent salary to a place in the
Federal Government service that
would require but a small part Of his
time. While appreciative Of the offer
he feels it is his duty to refuse the
appointment for good reasons. Our
reason is because to be beholden to
any person for favors for this char
acter automatically nullifies the
powers of a publication for pubic
service.
A newspaper is p~rimarially a public
servant. To be under obligations to
any public man, regardless of who he
is, makes it impossible for an editor to
gIi.ic.,e that official if he believes i
for the best interests Of all concerned,
because it places him in the en-,
barassinc position of an migrate.
1t has been the policy Of the nan
agamant Of the Ledger during thu IA
Years ic has been the property Of tn
a-escnt owners to adhere to this posi-
tion regardless Of circumstances and
we firmly believe it is the proper one,

LEMON EXTRACT THE
BOOZE HOUND DRINK

According to reports here Lemon
Extract has been much in demand
amcng the local topers since the pro-
hibition act went into effect. In fact
the merchants have found it necessary
to watch their sales of this article be-
cause they feared they might be VOL
ating the prohibition law.
Word has been sent out from Wash
ington that the government intends to
take immediate action in denaturing
this article and eliminating the kick.
Just what quantity of lemon extract is
required to supply the condition sought
by the booze-hound is not known.
Lemon extract run from 80 to 80
per cent alcohol. 1t is said the drink
ers dilute the extract with a third
water to make a beverage.
It is said the effort to secure the eX-
tract is greater among the negroes
than the whites. The call for it is by
old drinkers and not by those who
have not developed the habit of dc
pendance on false stimulants.
Already local merchants have begun
to locate the habituals and DENY them
their extract and soon even this con.
ISOLATION for the loss of their old com.
panion, John Barleycorn, will be denied
them.

Court Barre Gives Reception to Boys Re-
turned from the Army.

Court Barre, No 3,3l7, ]. o. f., held
reception last night in honor of the boys
who have returned from service in the
U. S. army. The meeting was called TO
order by Chief Ranger J. Lyon, who ap-
pointed w. H. Eager and L. d. Bruce
to marshal the soldiers into the hall to
the music of "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," played by Miss Euniee Eager Mr..
Lyon made an address of welcome to the
boys. w II. Eager was the next speak
er and he referred to what the Independ
ent Order of Foresters had done for the
soldiers who went to the war. The next
on the program was song by Perley
Eager
Ernest Gregoire told of his experiences
on the battlefields of Grsnee, where he
was wounded and laid all night among
the dead and wounded Louis Frattini
also spoke of his experience in army life.
He did not reach France, but had de-
sire to see Europe. The next speaker
was G. L. Gregoire, who, in his remarks,
spoke of the many boys who left last
summer. He was sorry to see the boys
go, but was glad he had a son to take his
stand for the liberty of the world
Frank Casani spoke of the welcome
extended to the boys back in the lodge
room again. The last speaker was Per-
ley Eager, who told Of his ups and
downs in the army life. Although he did
not see France, he had passed the over
seas inspection three times and then was
disappointed in not seeing the other side
of the ocean. Mr. Lyon then gave a
song, which was fitting for the occasion.
Then about 1875 sat down to a supper,
all enjoying the repast. Dancing COM
menced at 0 p. m., with Reardon's or

Only Units Of That Division
to Participate in Ac-
tual Battle
MANY VERMONTERS
AMONG THEM
Troops We're Sent to Camp
Devens After Enthusi-
astic Welcome

Boston, April 26.-The transport San
ia Rosa with nearly 2,l00 officers and
men, including the only units of the
10th division to participate in actual
fighting in France, docked shortly before
a. m. to-day. After an enthusiastic
welcome, the troops were entrained for
Camp Devens. The transport arrived in
President Roads yesterday afternoon.
The troops landed included: Detach-
ment l5lst field artillery brigade, two
officers, 50 men, 302d field artillery, field
and staff officers, batteries b, G. and ID,
30 officers, 577 men; 303d field artillery
complete, 81 officers and 1875 men. The
302d and 303d regiments originally
formed part of the 76th division, which
trained at Camp Devens. Shortly after
their arrival in France last July the
artillery units were detached and sent
to the front, while the rest of the di-
vision became replacement troops.
The Santa Rosa sailed from Bordeaux
on April l3 with Colonel Arthur S.
Conlin of Elmira, n, Y, commander of
the 303d field artillery, the heavies, in
charge of the returning troops. The
303d had the distinction of being one
of the first American artillery regiments
equipped with the famous "Grande Por-
tee Filloux"-a six-inch field rifle mount.
ed on rubber tired wheels and driven by
caterpillar tractors. These weapons have
range of 10 to IL miles and are among
the most mobile Of heavy rifles.
Maine and New Hampshire men made
up almost the entire personnel OF the
303d when it was organized, but later
when 1t was decided to equip the organi-
zation with motor drawn gun, several
hundred men from Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut and New York were added. The
regiment had its intensive training at
Clermont Ferrapd, France, and was or
dered to the front Oct. Is last. The first
and second battalions went into action
on the Woeyre sector, 10 miles southeast
of Verdun, where they supported the
33d division in the last few days of
fighting before the signing of the armi-
stice. The third battalion, under com
mand of Major Robert H. Gardner of
Needham was sent to the most advanced
artillery position in this sector of the
Woevre plain. This battalion suffered
three casualties, but none was fatal.
Although the 303d was in the fighting
but short time it was cited by Briga-
dier General Richmond p Davis, the
brigade commander
Only part Of the 302d field artillery
regiment was included among the troops
on the Santa Rosa. This regiment, to-
gether with the 30lst engineers and the
30lst. field signal battalion, also parti-
cipated in the last days of the fighting.
The 302d was made up mainly of men
from Vermont and Connecticut. Chap
lain ]. II. Twitehell of Hartford, Conn,
returned with the troops.
