seriously interfered with if not

The state might open employment
bureaus in several Of the larger COM
munities Of the state, perhaps Barre,
Rutland, Burlington. St. Johnsbury
and Bennington and conduct a
vigorous campaign Of publicity with
view toward turning detached labor
toward the farms, at least for the
summer season. Such a plan might
not meet all the needs of the situa-
tin but it would undoubtedly go far
toward meeting the labor shortage.
1t is evident that some definite
steps will have to be taken by the
state if the annual income from YER
mont farms is not to be curtailed in
large measure. Even now farmers
are PLANNING less crops than usual be-
cause of the inability to get men to
assist in the work, and the revenue
to the state is being lessened thereby.
The suggestion b. Mr.. Hallett ought,
to be considered seriously
by the state department of agricul-
ture or W the state board of control.

ton, and before the Minneapolis con
ventiOn he had succeeded in obtaining
from congress an incorporation of
the American Legion. In September
he was joined by the other members
of the legislative committee provided
for by the convention.
Because of the pressure of his pri-
waite business, which is the reason for
Mr.. Miller's retirement from this highly
important Legion post, he placed his
resignation in the hands of Mr.. Dol
Ter, the national commander, as early
as last spring. At that time, however,
he was prevailed upon to remain at
his post until congress adjourned, be-
cause his committee was in the midst
of its fight for Legislation for the dis
abled and for congressional considera-
ton of the fourfold optional plan of
adjusted compensation.
John Thomas Taylor of Washington,
ID. c., member of the committee
since November, has been appointed
chairman to fill out Mr.. Miller's I'M
expired term.
Although Mr.. Miller is only thirty
three years old, he has an unusual
background of army service and ex-
perience in public life. He enlisted In
the army as a private and came out
of it q lieutenant colonel. Although
he had attended the first Plattsburg
school, he was unable to obtain admiS-
sion to the first officers training camp
after war was declared because of a
physical handicap. He was first
lieutenant before going overseas with
the One Hundred and Fourteenth in
fantry of the TwentyNinth division
with which he served in France. He
first became conspicuous in public life
as the youngest member Of the Sixty
Fourth congress, having been elected
at the age of twentyseven. Before
that be had been secretary Of the state
Of Delaware at twenty-six.

Three more French war orphans
have been taken under the Legion s
wing by contributions of $I5 each
from two posts and an individual
member" of another as listed above,
who asked that his name be withheld.
The anonymous donor, in his letter
Transmitting a check which will care
for one of the fatheress waits a year

be glad to have the privilege of being
an adopted father another year if nee
essary."
The New Jersey post forwarded its
contribution to the Leglon's national
treasurer, Robert II. Tyndall, through
Thomas Goldingey, state adjutant, and
expresses no preference as to the sex
or age of its prospective protege.
Il. L. Jones, adjutant of the Mil
Waukee post, writes:
AT the last meeting of the post
the membership unanimously decided
to adopt a little French orphan and
would prefer little girl | am in
structed to request of you, If possible,
the little girls picture and also her

MILLER DID GOOD SERVICE
Chairman of National Legislative
Committee Who Has Resigned,
Proved Value to Legion.

The recently announced retirement
of Thomas w. Miller of Delaware, as
chairman of the National legislative
committee of the American Legion,
gives an opportunity of recountlnC the
efforts by which one individual has
done much to make the Legion what
it is today.
Mr. Miller served as chairman of
the committee for full year. 1t waS
under his direction that such generous
results were obtained as the passage
of the Sweet and barrow bills for bet
terment of the condition of the dis
abled eX-Service men, and such marked
progress was made in placing so thor
oughly before congress the claims of
all eX-service men for just compenSa-
ton. All during last summer and

PUNCTUALITY

John Dronberg, employed by the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding COMPANY at
its Fore River Works, recently cele-
brated the 10Th anniversary of his
employment by that company. Dur
ing that period he has never been
late in reporting to his work. He has
been away from his bench but five
times.
These are times when many people
lack all sense of discipline. They get
to work when they feel like it, they
wash up on their employers time,
and if thev want to- quit they do so
without giving notice. Probably
these fellows look on man like Mr..
Dronberg as very old fashioned
Still one can imagine that the
gentleman has much more comfort
able home, and a better paying job,
than the fellows who work when they
feel like it.

HOT ON BERGDOLL'S TRAIL
Effort Will Be Made to Have Alleged
Slacker's Aero Pilots Certifi-
cate Cancelled.

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, arch
Stacker and fugitive from justice for
whose apprehension rewards aggregat-
ing $5,056 have been offered, holds
pilot certificate No. 100 in the Aero
Club of America and representations
for its cancellation will be made at
once, it was announced at Legion ma
tiOnal headquarters recently.
The first intimation that Bergdoll
held a license in the club was con.
tanned in a letter to Lemuel Bolles,
national adjutant of the Legion, from
Kenneth W. Haltz, member of Frank
Luke, ,Jr., post, American Legion, of
Phoenix, AriZ.
Mr.. Bolles has written, in part, as
follows:
II have no hesitancy in expressing
my conviction that, as soon as the
facts become public, there will be an
overwhelming sentiment among Legion
members and the public generally for
the cancellation of Bergdoll's certifi-
cate with the least possible delay. Per-
sonally, consider his retention of the
certificate, under present circum-
stances, would constitute a grave in
suit to the memory of our heroic avi-
ator comrades who gave their lives to
uphold the honor of the flag which
Bergdoll and his kind would delight in
desecrating.
81 trust national headquarters will
be advised shortly Bergdoll's name has
been stricken from the rolls of your
estimabIe organization and that one
more substantial black mark has been
chalked up against this slacker's
name"

RECRUITING FOR VERMONT
FARMS

The suggestion is made by E. H.
Hallett of st. Johnsbury that one
way in which the farm labor shortage
might be met would be to open en-
ployment bureaus in various parts of
the State, the bureau to be under
state supervision and control. The
suggestion is worthy of consideration
in view of the fact that the labor
shortage on the farms of Vermont
continues almost as acute as it was
during the period of the war, and
the harvesting of the crops each year

MONT
(Brattleboro Reformel)

The Ponzi expose shows Massachu-
sets is not as far advanced Meg
islation as Vermont. That state has
no blue sky law to protect the
people from INSCRIPTIONS sharpers
nor law requiring its state officers
to devote their whole time, to their
Office. Had it law like the latter,
State Treasurer Burrell of Massachu-
sets would not be soliciting adver-
tisemcnts from the banks and at the
same time depositing the states
money with them.
