mating was a group of former service
men. all Of whom stood in line for more
than two hours before being admitted
to the basement Of the building where
the food was served. The men were
fed in patches of fifty-two, II taking a
little less than eight minutes to feed
each group. After breakfast the
crowd adjourned to upstairs for an all

Ledoux took his customary way OF
notifying his flock OF the Sunday ar.
rangemerts. He went to the Common
az daybreak, aroused the sleepers and
invited one and all to adjourn to 81
Howard street for breakfast. He
termed the breakfast physical Chris

mental Christianity"
Ledoux explained that those inter.
ested In his present scheme Of feeding
the unemployed included Edwin Mark.
ham. the author; Harry Barnhardt, of
the New York Community Service.
and George C. Barnard, the sculptor.
He declared that the problem Of the
unemployed was not o local one, and
that It 10 planned 20 make the work Of
looking after them not only a national
affair. but also international. He
urged all availing themselves Of the
free meals to take part in the Labor
Day parade and to carry large signs
in that parade explanatory Of their
needs. He also told them that he had
several good openings Tor men who
could qualify.

At the close Of the songfest and ad-
dress, the crowd adjourned TO the
street for the f1ag.raising. all joining
in the national anthem as Old Glory

stall shower baths. One Of the cardi-
nal rules Of the shelter is that those
availing themselves Of the free cots
must bathe before retiring.
Following the dedication exercises.
all were invited inside 6nce more and
dinner was served. Ledoux announced
that in 50 far as II was possible he did

unemployed to the home for the job
less and invite them to avail them
selves of its facilities, somewhat
meager as yet. but which Ledoux was
confident would be ample as soon as
Boston fully realized the work he was
accomplishing.

Vermont Congregational Statistics

The office of the Vermont Congrega-
tional conference has received from
Statistical Secretary John M. Com
stock of Chelsea an advance summary
of the statistics of the Vermont Con-
gregational churches for the year
1920. Among significant figures are
the following: The total number of
members, 23,040, or 43 less than a
year ago, being entirely due to re-
vision of rolls. There has been net
gain of 156 in resident numbers. The
additions by confession, 928, have not
been equalled for rs years and the to-
tai number of additions not for much
longer time. There has been loss
in Sunday school membership of All
and in the membership of the young
peoples societies of IA.
The expenditures of the churches
for local maintenance amount to
$307,783, which is an Increase of IL
per cent. over 1919. The benevolent
contributions total $128,S92, which is
a gain of 40 per cent. over 1919. This
includes gifts of $97,391 to denomina-
tional missionary work and $19,291
to the Pilgrim Memorial fund. The
value of church property is put al
$2,63O,955 and of invested funds al
$685., 4O4. The number of Congrega-
tional churches in the state is i213
which is two less than 1919, one
church having united with another
denomination and two Congregations
churches in the same town having
merged.

Pjoneers' Prairie Bunk.

The necessity of finding a more con-
venient and comfortable place than
the ground upon which to sleep pro-
duced the "prairie bunk" This one
legged .bedstead, now piece of furni
ture Of the past. was improvised by
the pioneer in unique manner. A
fOrked stake was driven into the
ground at a proper distance from the
corner Of the room and upon it poles.
usually of hickory, were laid reaching
from each wall. These poles, where
they touched the walls, rested in the
openings between the logs or were
driven into anger holes. Upon these
poles Stats of clapbOard were placed
or linden bark was interviewer from
pole TO pole. Sometimes an old-fash
toned cord bed was made by using
Eastwood bark for the cord. On this
framework the housewife spread her
straw tick or piled the luxurious
mound of her homemade feather bed
Such a sleeping place was usual,
known as prairie bedstead." bu'

Profanity a Northern Curse
(Rutland Herald)

Our Vermont editors sojourning in
the Southland have discovered that
the people in that section are more
religiously inclined than in the North.
Church attendance and church activi-
ties are more pronounced among
Protestants, and piety is more gener-
ally observed and honored. So report
Brothers Parker and Belknap from
Florida. The same condition prevails
all through the South, we believe. It
may be there is no really deeper reli-
gious conviction, and no more gene
raj observance of the accepted pre-
cepts, but in manifestation the South
feature is that in the South the use
clearly leads. One very noticeable
of profanity does not prevail, even in
the common walks of life, as it does
in the North. One is not estimated
a forceful character there only as he
can swing great, big ugly words.
Then, after all these marks of sterling
Christianity, our good friends down
there will lynch niger; we suppose
as vent for the pent up wickedness
that exists about as much in one sec
ton as another, and has to find it's
way out somehow.

An article in a Burlington paper
states that at meeting of the cham
Der of commerce of that city "all
seemed to favor better city streets"
strange as it may seem. The story
says the 'great question seems to be
where is the money coming from z"
What this paper cannot understand Is
that under the new highway depart
ment there is any question about
money for making better streets and
roads. The old administration was
blamed for bad roads whether there
was any money for making them bet
ter or not. Is it possible that Bur
ington has come to understand that
money is a requisite for road max
ing?

Coordination and Sidestepping-
Springfield Specialties.
(Springfeld Reporter)

The Orleans County Monitor, which
appears to be officiating as sort of
mouthpiece for highway Commission
er Bates, continues to accuse the Re-
porter of sidestepping because the Re-
porter considers what is sauce for
this paper is sauce for Bates, and if
you are going to follow the tactics of
the distinguished commissioner that
is the only kind of stepping you can
do. Then, too, trying to travel the
Bates roads in Windsor county en-
courages the habit; because there are
so many spots where you have to side
step into the fields in order to get by.
No; the Reporter is not complaining
of spring roads particularly fact,
there isn't enough difference in them,
spring, summer or fall to be worth
mentioning, and in winter usually a
charitable mantle of snow covers a
multitude of horrible highway sins.
Therefore, the Monitor man is again
pressingly urged to come down at any
season of the year, and the publisher
of this paper will be more than dee
will be glad to remember that he car
ries both life and accident insurance;
if he doesn't, he better think twice be-
fore coming. He is also cordially in
vited to bring Commissioner Bates
with him; for it would be only an add
ed pleasure to have Bates along on
this proposed "joy" ride over high
ways which do not bear the slightest
| resemblance to the boulevards around
Derby Line. Aoain the Monitor is
mistaken in declaring that to Spring
Geld Mr. Bates is much more "execra-
re" than his roads; no, indeed, that
s impossible. Then just think, the
| last time the state highway commits
sioner was here, he was the guest OF

1t is the general belief that as the

make such crime difficult. Conspicu-

The Springfield Reporter again in
vites the editor down into Windsor
county to ride over their despicable
roads, and compare them with the
"boulevards" around Derby Line.
Since those Derby Line roads were
built by S. B. Bates before he was
ever state highway commissioner, the
comparison is somewhat striking.
Does the Springfield contemporary
admit that Mr.. Bates can build roads |?
Does he admit that Windsor county
has no good roads because no one
there can build them? Tell us,
dear contemporary, just why Derby
has such fine roads and Windsor coun-
ty such awful apologies for high
ways? There must be reason and
you intimate that you know.
