went to-day to attend the funeral.
Mrs. Asa Hebard of White River
Junction was in town on Tuesday, hav-
ing come to attend the wedding of
Frances Hebard at the Center. Mr.. and
Mrs. Putnam also were guests on the
same occasion.
Fern Rebekah lodge held its regular

made at this time for the sale of tick

other business. At the close Miss Inez
Litchfeld, a past noble grand of the

stituents. He has made Washington
his home since he was first elected to
Congress and the people in his own
Vermont home rarely see him. He is
on hand at every roll call and he votes
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. When the United States
went into the war he paid all his ex-
panses to get first-hand information of
how the American troops were taken
care of and how many they were help
ing to win the war. And he didn't find
out by staying in Paris hotels, but
went clear to the front lines, where he
was the only member of the Congress
sional party to find the 26th division.
When he returned to his Washington
post he was fully informed of the sac
rifices and splendid victories of our
brave boys in khaki. He told these
boys over there that he would remem-
Der them when he came back and be
fulfilled his promise by voting for the
bonus bill. He had seen salaries adj
vanced in nearly all branches Of the
government service, generous pensions
granted to veterans of other wars, and
be believed that the soldiers of the
World war should be rewarded by the
government they had enlisted to sup.
port even to the supreme sacrifice if
necessary.
Colonel Dale voted for the volstead
act because he believed as did SO many
Of his associates, including Congress
man Greene, that an act must be speed
lily passed on to cover the enforcement
OF the 18th amendment. If the Vol
stead act has its failings Congressman
Dale is in position to act intelli-
gently, for he knows the conditions
both at home and abroad. and also
knows the members of the Judiciary
committee that will have the new bill
in charge Commissioner kramer's rul-
ing on the Volstead act indicates ii is
more than some thought and Mr.
Kramer is the one man to decide upon
its workings and interpret its various
sections.
Congressman Dale has faithfully re.
manned in Washington while Congress
was in session, and now that the long
has come he is going around
the state meeting his friends and Incl
dentally making new ones. We like |
this way of campaigning. He meets |
his constituents face to face. He is
daily increasing his long list of sup
porters throughout the second distrist.
