monial funeral of an unknown

Cemetery. One of them will be the

by Governor HGrtness under the
clause of the orders which provide
that among the official moulners

men who served in the national
armed forces between April G, 1917
and November II, 1918" Accord
ing to the final figures Vermont
sent 1929 men into the various
arms of the service, which would
give the Governor authority to

The Vermont delegates to the
National Rural Carriers Associa-
tion's convention in Washington
this week called upon the repre-
sentatives of the State in Congress
and were entertained by Congress
man Porter II. Dale at luncheon
in the Capitol on Wednesday. Col. |
Dale had also as his guests at the
luncheon Senators Dillingham; and
Page and Congressman Frank l..
Greene. President E. NJ. FaT, of
Chester, head of the Vermont
branch of the national body, and
Treasurer J. H. Beckwith, of Beth
I'll, WtIc biIS Ol1tCtIS VI IilC doooSlt-t
ton present, and the other carrier
visitors were Messrs. Knapp, of
Irasburg; Mccarthy, of Windsor;
and Woodward, ofRichford. /
The delegates made it clear that
one of the reforms for which they}
hoped as an outcome of the con-
vention was an adjustment of the
salary and upkeep question which
would net them a better return for
heir labors, and in this Congress-
nan Dale and the rest of the dele
cation fully agreed with them. 1t
was pointed out that it was re-
luired of the rural carriers that
Jhey maintain an outfit of horses
md vehicles for travel in times
If the year when it is impossible
@ use automobiles and that they
must look to the upkeep of their
lutos likewise. The Vermont dele
rates felt that the least the Gov
,rnment could do was to give them
material lift with respect to these
expenses.
