THE author of the above lines is un-
known to me, however, as l have so
facetiously scribbled in verse in an
other column, one can discern that the
thought it conveys occurs to me often just
now,-and doubtless to many Others
particularly so, as write these lines, and
it is my conviction that the author of the
line was in a somewhat similar position
as are all of us.
Be that as it may, cite the line only to
express the poignant regret for leaving
unceremoniously an apprenticeship to a
profession that is full of allure, education
and success AS a means of studying life
in many phases, embodying all the color,
romance, drabness, sorddness, good, evil
and what-not that life is full of, no other
profession surpasses that of a reporter.
The oft quoted maxim that Truth is
stranger than fiction" will be found to
contain certain credibility occasionally by
the successful reporter, 1 have learned
from reliable sources, although my own
limited experience contains nothing, with
one possible exception I will reveal later,
that can be placed in that category. But
let the reader judge at the proper time.
In the city referred to in the preceding
article, while employed on the staff of
the Blade, had frequent occasion to in
terview a prominent mill owner who was
having some minor difficulties with his en-
ployees. Some idea of the gentlemans
character, whom we will call VIM. P.
Ryan, as well as descriptive effort is
necessary for the reader before proceeding
with the story:
Mr.. Ryan, who was intimately and af
fectionately called "Big Bill" was very
popular and democratic person. One of
those very rare types of employers, who
was genuinely loved and respected by all
who knew him-and some who did not
particularly by the men who were in his
employ. "Big Bill" as the name implies,
was in every sense big man. Standing
some six feet in height, of ponderous, but
well proportioned physique, with very
magnetic personality, evidenced by gen.
ial twinkle in his soft blue eyes; slightly
greying hair and mustache humorous
mouth, a well-shaped nose and deeply
lined countenance, he was typical Irish
man, with the Celt's unfailing optimism
and youth, despite his sixty odd years of
toll, which he was wont to jest about
thusly: "Even kicked to get out of the
cradle to help with the family back in
County Claire Ireland" On account of
his humanitarian leanings, "Big Bill' was
called eccentric by some but, on account
of the narrow construction that is some-
times placed on the word eccentric, it is
the writer's wish, for want of a better
word, to say that "Big Bill' was normal
in every respect, and that his many gen.
erous acts and humane impulses sprang
from a heart full of love and understand
ing based on his knowledge of life and
the many vicissitudes he overcame in his
long career.
Naturally witty, optimistic and philoso-
phic, together with keen intelligence and
also very loquacious, one could meet "Big

IT HE first flight that Maj. Elmer Has
lett took over the German lines makes
an amusing story In his book Luck on
the Wing he says that his squadron had
been with the French for month without
being allowed to participate in single
mission. Finally, he gained the consent of
the commandant and went up with a
French pilot to guard the aeroplane of a
fellow aviator named Jones, whose task
was to adjust artillery fire.
l looked at my map, he writes, to find
where the panels were displayed. Panels
are large, horizontal strips of cloth that
are placed on the ground in various SYM
bols near the battery, and that are used as
a means of communication between the
battery and the aeroplane. Among the sig
mails formed by the white panels, which are
quite clearly discernible from the air, are
those meaning that Battery is ready to
fire." Battery has fred" "Fire by sal
vo;" Change target" and many, many
others, including the signal, "There is an
enemy aeroplane near you," which is the
most dreaded panel that can be displayed.
In few minutes / found the situation
of the panels; had little chart on my
map board showing their meaning. had
had some instruction while I was at OBJ
servation school, but l had depended on
crossing that bridge when 1 reached it; so
l had not paid great deal of attention to
them. The descriptive chart on my map
board explained the panels in French, and
was not sure whether the chart would do
me any good after all, for my knowledge
of technical French, or indeed of any other
French, was meagre.
saw the panel, Battery is ready" and
then the aeroplane headed toward the
lines In moment the panel changed to,
Battery has fred" so 1 looked behind
the enemy's lines but could not find where
the shells had hit. To my mind they were
hitting everywhere. l again saw, "Bat-
terry is ready" and looked directly toward
the supposed target In a moment l saw
four shells strike close by, and my vigil
ance was rewarded, for was to witness
an actual adjustment of artillery fire
against real enemy. Then l took
genuine interest in the adjustment and
paid very close attention to every detail.
In fact, was so attentive that l forgot
that my mission was to protect the leading
plane.
Suddenly looked down at the panels
and saw huge Y displayed. l did not
pay much attention to the Y, but saw
Jones taking a steep spiral toward the
earth. 1 did not call the attention of my
pilot to it, because thought Y was some
thing usual, meaning, perhaps, that the
signals were not understood. Jones was
probably going down to get closer to the
battery, in order that his wireless could be
heard. But Jones kept going right on
down near the battery, and finally kept
circling round close by at about three hun
dred feet altitude. did not pay any great
heed thought he would soon climb up
again. In few minutes / saw the battery
take in their Y and put it out again; take
it in and put it out, as if to attract my at
tention. Then l saw them running back
and forth in different directions with diff
ferent panels, which had a (Peos 4. Ool. ~

Mr.. Editor: ,.
knowing that came from Addison
county many people have asked y, me
about Mr.. Foote and his suitability
for foout the ai governorship. Abram W
Toote is thoroughly known all over
Addison county as well as other parts
of The state. His best recommenoarr
ton is what his neighbors think OF
him. His title Of Honest Abe" has
not fallen upon him by accident but
It is the natural tribute to an honest
and straightforward character. His
record of public service shows tnat
his spirit and brains are of the best
and used rightly. Vermont will do
well to trust the leadership OF the

is elected because I believe In his

Rumors and Rumors.
(Morrisyille Messenger)

The ST. Adams Messenger alleges
in leading editorial, that an organ
lied effort is being quietly m lde te
secure the election of a legislature
senate anyway, favorable to the re-
peal of The present three headed high
way department and a return te the
old plan.
We have not heard word Up this
way, so it must be very quiet move
ment.
Another rumor duplicates the banks
as trying to secure men elected 20, the
Legislature favorable to taking of the
six per cent. interest limit on. loans
That too many may b set down to
"dog- days weather" which is a pro-
life season for rumors.
The st. Alba-.s Messenger passes
over the demand of the people for the
election Of a legislature, wholeheart-
eddy in favor of economy. 1t says,

Our esteemed contemporary will
find it is the issue when the returns
come in just as the Old Guard found
in Indiana, Pennsylvania, lowe and

sweeping victories.

The escape Of four federal prison
ers from the county Jail Saturday is
a serious matter. The entire quar-
tet are understood to be Canadians
and there is reason to believe they
are now safely on Canadian soil. One
of the prisoners was probably facing
a Federal term at Atlanta, Ca, and
all were implicated in alien smuggl-
ing operations. The saving OF bars
with hack saws brings two or three
questions to mind. How the saws!
Why was the saving not heard? Are
all prison bars Of material to be saw
ed with ordinary hack saws? One OF
these escaped prisoners nearly made
his escape some weeks ago.

Derby Premier Road Town of State
bennington Banner)

The premier town in the state fol
roads is the town of Derby, the home
of Hon. Stoddard B. Bates, former
IS tie highway commissioner. These
roads were mostly built from ten to
25 years ago when Mr. Bates was
the highway commissioner of the
town of Derby. His work in Derby
made him reputation in Orleans
county and he was made county high
way supervisor. In charge of coun-
ty roads he did so we'll that Governor
Gates appointed him state commits
sioner and he continued in that office
for six years: The proof of a high
way commissioner is the quality and
lasting quality of the roads he builds
provided the cost is not higher than
it should be. On the record of his
work and the results obtained by and
for the state of Vermont, the Banner
believes that the displacement of
Commissioner Bates by Governor
Hardness was unwise.
