place aside as a reserve to use in
case something goes wrong.
Let it also be remembered that
Vermont is getting no Welsh coal,
which can be brought directly to
Montreal by water. The inference
is that Montreal is going to use
American anthracite while 1t can.
Montreal is certain of daily deliv-
cries. Vermont is getting none,
so far as is known. The Messen-
ger considers this rank discrimin-
alton against American citizens IN
favor of foreigners, condition
which is intolerable.
The price just now is secondary
the coal itself is the thing. With
Montreal, further north than we
receiving coal, no one can argue
that it is impossible for coal to be
sent to Vermont. And even at
$3.50 a ton, coal would be much
cheaper than wood, which we are
told we must use along with soft
coal, which will cost practically as
much as the hard variety did last
year.
There is some kind of business
going on in this coal matter that
kindles ones wrath. The Messen-
ger considers it the state fuel da-
ministration's business to find out
why foreigners can get anthracite
while our own people can't. And
its next business is to get the coal
for Vermonters.
The matter is important enough
to warrant the concentration of the
whole state executive machinery
upon it.
No one will be able to convince
Vermonters that it is impossible to
get coal for them while foreigners
to the north are able to secure a
supply from the American field.
What is the state government
going to do about it? st. Adams

Hear We" and called all victims of
litigation to appear before that
august tribunal. There had been
rumors Of war before, but the
opening of court furnished the
paint and feathers, in more ways
than one, for it was paint and
feathers that started the trouble.
1t appears that the "Side"
Judges, constitutionally known as
Assistant Judges, have taken away
the lawyers consultation room and
given it over to the fair court re-
porter During the summer, while
the unsuSpecting members of the
bar were strugglin" with vacations,
the side judges slipped into the
Court House at Montpelier, walled
up the door leading into the afore-
said consultation room and furn-
ished it with new desk, chairs and
couch, the like of which had never
been known before and with blush
ing cheeks led the dainty reporter
into her new sanctum. Now the
lawyers are holding consultations
in the telephone booth or on the
stairs and rather than war upon
the unbeatable feminine are sharp
ening their tomahawks for an as
sault upon the offending judiciary.
Again is heard the old complaint
"what good are the side judges,
anyway" But there is one person
the court reporter, who thinks the
side judges are a wonderful insttu-
ton. There is even tak of going
on strike and a petition has been
circulated. Who will win, the
lawyers or the lady?-Burlington

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row
That mark cur place, and in the sky
The larks, still 5ravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loyed, and now we

We shall not sleep, though poppie5

Today. Memorial day, May 3Oth,
our thoughts turn especially to our
comrades VINO did not come back
the American soldiers who still sleep
on foreign soil And we are glad
that on this day members of the AM
erican legion, assisted by their COM
rades in arms over there, and the
dear devoted French mothers, Will
conduct memorial services in each OF
the national cemeteries, and will dec
crate the grave Of every overseas
veteran with flowers and an Amerl-
can flag. Post No. "a and the auXll-
iary to our post have had the prlvl-
lege of contributing to a fund tor
this purpose. May the time never
come when we shall neglect to avail
ourselves of this privilege. No doubt
many of US know of comrades still
sleeping over there whose graves we
would like to visit today. That IS
impossible. And we are glad that
we can be represented over there by
the American legion as our suostr-
itute. According to the Graves Reg
Iistration bureau there are 3O,473 OF
our comrades whose bodies will re-
main over there. They have been ga
thered into eight permanent ceme-
teries as follows:
Suresnes, near Paris, 1,491; Meuse

full measure of devotion.

THE MATTER
WITH SOUTH CAROLINA

An interesting vacation filed with
pleasure, educational and entertain
ment features and all kinds of ath-
letics as well as army instruction,
with all expenses paid, is the offer
made to the young men of South Car
DINA who will attend the Citizens
Military Training camp at Camp Nc
Clellan July 9th to August 26th,
md yet only % per cent of South
Cardinals quota has been filled.
Our young men do not realize that
his is not an old fashioned army
camp or surely as in Florida and 9TH
er states, the quota would be filed.
The object Of the c. c. is to train
Young men in order that they may be
of greater service if an emergency
arises. However, any man who at
tends camp VII not be required to
ioin the reserves or national guard
or anything else unless he so desires.
No previous military experience is
required and any boys II years of
age may apply for admission to the
red. or elementary course. Men who
have had experience will be admitted
to the white course for non-commis-
s;oned officers or the blue course
which trains men for commissions.
Men who start their work this sum-
mer in the red course can take the
advanced courses in succeeding years
Young men Will benefit greatly
mentally and physically. The work
IS indorsed by some of our most
prominent citizens and everyone who
has the time should attend. If cur
young men permit South Carolina's
quota to be filed by another state
what will be the result? One thing
sure: South Carolina's young men
who can attend camp and get their
commissions and do not do it, certain
ly will not become officers, and in
case of an emergency they will be
taking orders from someone else.
It will be much Better for men who
are not settled for life to go to three
one month camps and get their COM
mission and be ready for something
worth while in case Of need than
it will be to wait until they are older
when such training will be much
harder for them and they cannot get
II under such favorable circumstanc-
es. Certainly men who fa;l to make
the best of this opportunity cannot
kick if they have to serve ,undert less
favorable circumstances later ON be-
cause they refused to take this tran
ing,
Surely what the rest of the SOU
thern states can do, South Carolina
can equal, Tell your friends and
help pull the state out of the hole.

Born in 1855, died in 1834-trans
lated by Esmeralda Boyle.)
With thy stem detached,
Poor withered leaf,
Where goest thou? know not!
The storm hath broken the oak
Which alone was my support.
To the inconstant breath
Of the zephyr or the northwind
Since the day of my entrance
To the forest and the plain
From the mountain to the valley

Without complaint or fear
l go where goeth all thing,
Where goeth the rose-leaf
And the leaf of the laurel.
