Editor of The Reformer,
On November II next, Armistice day.
this country following the example of
England and France. will bury an I'M
known American soldier in the National
cemetery at Arlington with all the mill
tary honors due general officer. May
make this suggestion to the people of
Brattleboro: At the hour that these exer-
cises are taking place at Arlington, let
us as citizens of this great republic meet
at our town hall or some other suitable
meeting place and there hold exercises in
honor of those men and women who served
their country during this late war and
honor the memory of those who gave their
lives during this World war for the bene-
fit of their country. 1t seems to me that
this is the least we can do at such n time.
Yours very truly.

OF THOMPSON FUND.
CONTINUED from Page IL

around while the trust furnished the mo-
tive power. The Memorial hospital. for
example. they~havc always considered an
institution whose expenses in excess of
current income the Thompson Fund was
bound to meet. Except from the directors
and the doctors it has had little interest,
and almost no financial help from the
public. Consequently. although large sums
have been contributed annually by the
trustees. the hospital is now in a position
where il is unable To accomplish that
which is plainly needed for the service Of
the community Other work in the com
munity il likewise. in the judgment of the
trustees accomplishing too small results
in proportion to the money expended. Tx
tremely good work has been done by indi-
vidual directors and professional workers
for the various organizations supported by
the trust but this alone has not and can
not produce satisfactory results, no mat
ter who does it -
The trustees believe it is nlst as pos
sible to make an efficient Use of the
Thompson Fund in Brattleboro as else
where. but this can come about only
through the active attention of more of
the best business brakfs of the community,
with agiewtg bett9asorganiizs1 support Of
and kngWiedse of tRes work on the part of
the communi{y at Va. \ great oppor-
tunitv exiStS@.ehey are convinced. but it is
not being improved.
The trustees therefore invite the atten-
ton of the people of Brattleboro to this
situation IN the hope that action looking
tOwardits Improvement may be taken.

OIL CLAIMANTS GET MORE TIME
 ADJUST LINES

Time extension for adjustment of conflicts on oil claims in Alaskan | fields for which permits were issued | prior to July l, last, has been granted | by the department of the interior, ac- cording to a statement by Register | Frank A Boyle of the Juneau land | office. In a communication received | by MT Boyle from the depart ment of interior, it was stated: You are advised that all permits issued prior to July l. 1921. the time for ad' 1 justment, is hereby extended to Jan uary 1, 1922"
 This supplements regulation adopted last spring by the depart ment, which allowed claimants six months from the date of the issuance of oil leasing and prospecting permits in which to adjust all conflicts. This clause is carried in all of the permits issued since that time. The purpose of the departments original order was to facilitate the issuance of permits and to give applicants an opportunity to settle amicably all conflicting ltnes 1 to claims As there has never been any surveys made in several of the districts, it was virtually impossible ! for the department or land office off cials to know whether any conflicts did exist. It was believed that the six months clause would give claimants chance to make their own surveys.
 This extension of time to appli- cants filing prior to July 1, is of much importance" said MT. Boyle. Tt means that the parties now in the field can go ahead with their work and will probably give them plenty or
 time to get any conflicts adjusted"
 Persons to whom permits have been
 issued subsequent to July 1 still have
 six months in which to make adjust
 ment. added MT. Boyle.
 One application for a permit was
 received on the Spokane at the Jul neau land office. It was filed by B. J. Mass. for 2,56O acres. in the Cold
 bay district.

out larger plug. That time he let
out l. Sc inches of water He came
nearly letting It all out at once for
in the short space of less than one
hour all the water and hail in the
heavens was let loose and came down
upon US. Streets and alleys were
flooded and swimming pools and fish
ponds We're formed in all the low
places about the city. Hail stones
fell in abundance, ranging in size
from one and one-half inches in di-
aneter to small marbles. They rat
tied down thick and fast and many
people declare that judging from the
sound many of them must have been
as large as base balls-but none of
that size were found. The storm COW
cred considerable territory east and
west but did not extend very far
south of WaKeeney- The hail fell in
a narrow strip east and west but ex-
tended from the Saline river on the
north to several miles southeast of
this city. The loss to the crop here

further southeast it will run higher.
Unfortunately there is not much hail

wheat had a sickly appearance and
has not promised much of a yield.
Now that the drowth has been broken
