To the plains and foothills of the

1904, handful of French army Of
ficers, one of them Leon Charles
Eckenfelder, then lieutenant in the
7th Hussars of France. Some of the

Oldtime villagers assert that for
piercing volume, sustained discord
and diversity Of unharmonized notes
it breaks the records of all previous
years. 1t provokes nightmares and
makes painful any contemplation
relative to the prospect of having
to go to bed.
In plain words, the village is suf-
fering from a plague of homeless
cats. Attracted, doubtless, by the
villages growing reputation as a
select neighborhood and a more
negligent attitude on the part of
extravagant kitchen maids as to
what goes into the garbage pals,
the cats are invading the village
from the less hospitable contiguous
regions. They are arriving from
the Italian quarter south of the I il-
lage, which has become too con-
gested for their playful pursuits,
and from the wholesale districts
around Broadway, where they were
once permitted to propagate pro-
v,ded they confined their diet ex-
clusively to mice.
The result is that the village is
now pestered with more stray cats
than Constantinople ever was with
stray dogs. The iron ratings and
front stairways on the old-fashionec
houses furnish sufficient protection
to the cats in the day time, but il

H. B. M. in The Manches-

who dates his story from Alberta,
Canada, writes:
In his butchers shop in the little
Albertan village of Trochu, not far
from the foothills of the Canadian
Rockies, l met the other day a man
who unfolded to me little epic Of

peace, but not Trochu. The call had
come, and that call knew but one
answer. In a few hours hasty prepa-

women, and farewells filled few
agonizing moments. In the gray
dawn of an early August day twelve
men, ex-officers Of the army of
France, slipped quietly away from

his output. He is compelled to COM

freshness he should get out frequently
into new scenes and keep the cobwebs

For this reason an automobile eX-

HAVE you DONE YOUR PART?

The plague Of tuberculosis is the
greatest cause Of deaths Of persons be-
tween the ages Of Is and 40 in the
United States. one-tenth Of all the
men, women and children who die each
year are victims Of this disease. II is
durable and preevntable to such a de-
gree that no disease offers so great an
opportunity for prevention and con
troll.
One Of the convictions Of the late
Dr.. Charles S. Caverly was that in
order to check tuberculosis special
care must be provided for children ex-
posed or predisposed to this disease.
With this in view he opened small
Preventorium to accommodate Ia chill
dren at Essex Junction. This Proven
forum has always been filed by YER
mont children and the results have
fully justified its existence. Interest
eli people have watched and been fire.
quent visitors TO this small institution
and have been convinced that it was
doing a great work in restoring weak
and frail children to health and vigor.
MIR Redfeld Proctor was one who
took great interest in the Prevention
ium and became so thoroughly con-
WINGED that il was doing a great work
that on March II, 1920; he wrote the
president Of the Vermont tuberculosis
Association that he would give $4,000
provided that the people Of Vermont
would give a like sum. This money to
be used in building a larger and more
permanent Preventorium at Pittsford.
Mr.. Proctor and his sister, Miss
Emily Dutton Proctor, not only Of
fered the above named sum Of money
but also included in their offer a site
Of % acres.
From June 1st to 9Th was designat-
ed campaign week to raise this $4,000
to fight tuberculosis in Vermont
From all that could be learned last
week about $39, 900 had been raised or
pledged and the remaining is expected
to come from places which have not
reported
Bennington county was asked TO
raise $500. Bennington town came
across with about 81 800, Manchester
about $500. None of the other towns
have vet finished the collection. Ev-
eryone is asked to help in this most
worthy object Of restoring victims of
the great white plague to health and
usefulness.
