attracted Mr.Charbonnel.Last week Mr.Charbonnel said Cookshire had allowed its lëcal paper to die for lack of support and that he did not want to live in a community without a

service for this section, owing to war conditions, and sald in substance, that it is the people's patriotic duty to forgo it.The government management of the railroads of the country is unwilling to run any unnecessary trains, and is reducing operation cost as fast as possible.Mr.Folsom referred to the new schedule for the White Mountains special Pullman train service from Fabyans to New York and Philadelphia, the same having been cut from seven days to one.Another move is being made for a morning train.WHOLE No.3766 TOWN TOPICS.Jean B.LeBaron of North Hatley was in town Thursday.Charles

are stayed on the death of a Rwyer.| Litigants must replace attorneys in due time, and may make their own choice.Then the cases go on, the estate of a deceased lawyer being] entitled to a just apportionment of the ! costs for work already done.It is of | course unnecessary-to go over the | preliminary work.'

CHANGED BY WEEK OF TRENCH LIFE Boys From United States Rapidly Turned Into Men.ACQUIRE AIR OF VETERANS American Troops Seemed Very Young the Day Before They Went to Battle Line\u2014Say Food \u201cIs Good Enough\u201d and They Usually Get It on Time\u2014 French Airmen Always on Guard for Enemy.All day yesterday we watched the American soldiers who were to go to the front that night wandering about the streets of the little village from which the sturt wus to be made.Other soldlers were there, mostly men of the French line, and Moroceans und Al- geriuns, writes Herbert Corey in the Chicago News.\u201cWhat ts the difference between the American and the French soldiers?\u201d we asked each other.By and by the answer tame, \u201cThey look 80 young.\u201d Yet they were not unduly young.Take the Americans one by one and they were seen to be stout, physically ntured, decidedly intelligent young men, Their faces were full of chur- acter and decision, It is doubtful If they are younger collectively by a day than the wen of a company of Moroc- enn shock troops who have been wateh- ing them with interest.Some of these latter are mere kids, One had not yet raised a beard, The explitnation came to us eventual- Iy.The French troops were veterans, Even though they may be no older they have matured in war.It often happens that the veteran is a mere child in the affaires of civil life.\u2018These French may not be the equals in prompt deciston and resolution and forethought of the Atuerieans in matters that have not to do with war, But in fighting they are centuries older, Boyish lilusion Persists.A few hours later we saw (he American troops marching out to take their places in the trenches.That illusion of boyishness persisted, Even thelr Enlt seemed to be that of boys, although they wore a soldier's full accoutrement and carrigd a 6U-pound pack.Yet we know that a week in the trenches\u2014granted that they are culled on to do real fighting\u2014will transform them from amateurs of war into nerve- tested veterans.More time will be needed to tench them the tricks of their new trade, but ina single week they will have altered their personull- ties to meet the new demands, The viNage wus one of the thousands of tiny towns which are scattered along the French front.Shells had fullen in it from time to time, and roofs here and therg were crushed in, and holes dug in the roadway.Something bad happened to the church, I do not now remember what it was, and yet my memory preserves a distinct impression that the church was not as it should be.1t seemed disheveled aud ragged.Now and then German aviators flew over it, to sce whut was going on.The French flyers always challenged them.The few inhabitants of the village hardly looked up to watch the air tights.They were old stories to them.The Americans wandered about, euriously, trying their scanty fragments of French on the people and accustoming themselves to the village life so near the front.Their billets have been at n greater distance from the line for the most part.The Germans are but seven miles away here.The front line of trenches Into which they will move tonight are in places only five miles away, French Airmen Always Guard.At the outskirts of the town a group of Americans are gathered.Half of them, perhaps, earry the chgup double field glasses which are on Sale everywhere.They put in hours searching the details of the horizon where the German Is hiding, Every half hour or so a Boche flyer tries to get over the town, Perhaps he wants to bomb the village.What is more likely Is that the Germans are merely putting over the daily reconnaissance, They may suspect that something is going on and are trying to confirm the Impression.Each time a French flyer materializes in some mysterlous fashion, One never sees where they come from.One Is watching the German, and suddenly one sees him veer townrd the safety of his own lines, A vicious looking Spad is on his heels, Toward the latter part of the afternoon smoke begins to pour from the short chimneys of the rolling kitchen.Coffee is being cooked\u2014real American coffee\u2014well \u201cdoped\u201d with condensed milk and plentifully sweetened, The men gather with thelr aluminum cups and plates, and beans are Indled out to them.An enormous sandwich of white bread and corned beet from cans is handed to ench, Even a soldier's appetite Is satisfied.But they have been at the Job long enough to learn how to kick.\u201cI'm off beans for the rest of my Hee,\u201d one boy announces.\u201cI dream ahout \u2018em now,\u201d Not many comment on the food, however.They say briefly that it \u201cis Evod cnough\u201d and that they usually get it on time.Now and then something woes wrong, but they take that us an ueldent of war, They have Ht- tle to say of what is to come, ç This advertisement is contributed through the patriotic cooperation of The National Bank of Derby Line.Don\u2019t criticize\u2014energize!

Continue Without Vital Conse- quences\u2014Of Utmost Importance Nation Economize\u2014Radical Readjustment la Imperative\u2014War Saving Stamps and Liberty Bonds Help.By WILLIAM G.M'ADOO, Secretary of the Treasury.Econowy in the consumption of all the things needed by the uation for tie winning of the wur\u2014the releasing of luabor und mutérials from the pursuits of peace to the business of wur\u2014 these fundamental necessities of our War program must be understood by all our people if we are to put our whole strength behind our men in France.We must work and save us never before in our history.We must increase our output and reduce our do- luestic consumption of all necessary products, in order that there may be à great increasing volume of war materials going forward to our armies and the allies who are fighting side by side with us.As the people reduce thelr personal consumption they will be enabled to finunce the war by lending their savings to the government, while at the same time they help themselves by increasing their personal resources and income.The economie readjustinents necessitated by the transformation of an unarmed and peaceful nation into a formidable armed combatant have caused unavoldable losses and hardships, Such things can no more Le avolded in time of war than sacrifices of blood if the rights of the nation are to be vindicated and made safe for the future and a just peace is to be secured for the world.D Call to Supreme Effort.We must face these trials with philosophy, resolution and calmness.We must see in them not alone the inspiration but the call to supreme effort.When these readjustments have been completed it will be found that all the brains and energy of the nation which have been released from occupations non-essential to the war will be required In enterprises and activities which are essential to the war, and that the welfare and prosperity of the country as a whole will not be {m- patred.\u201cBusiness as usual\u201d cannot of course be adopted as the guiding principle in time of war.It is a wholly wrong theory and should find no gdvocacy or acceptance by the sensible and patriotic people of America.Business must be readjusted to the war-making function of the nation.What is of superlative Importance in the readjustment that must take place 1s that our people must be impressed with the necessity of economizing the consumption of articles of clothing, food and fuel and of every other thing which constitutes n drain upon the available supplies, materials and resources of the country.The waste of anything now Is nothing short of criminal.So far as I have been able to observe the American peo ple are not sufficiently aroused to the necessity of economy and of saving in this really serious time not only in the life of America hut of the nations of the world.i Up to the present there has been a relatively small denial of pleasures, comforts and conveniences on the part of the average citizen.He is drawing upon the general store supplies An the country with almost the same freedom as hefore America went Into the war.This cannot continue without a serious hurt to the natlon and to the world., The great financial operations of the government cannot be carried forward successfully unless the people of the United States economize In every pos- Ible direction, save their money and flend it to the government.Aid Own Prosperity.They are at the saine time Increas- Ing their own material prosperity in thelr savings and they are directly elping thelr government by lending t the money with which it can buy he necessary supplies and command the necessary services to make our ghting forces stronger and more effective In the field.and this means an early victory for American arms., The great difficulty Is to impress this lesson of economy upon the American people.It will require widespread propaganda and constant effort.With this in view It was my privilege to suggest to the congress the ralsing of $2,000,- 000,000 by the sale of War Savings stamps and Thrift stamps; so that the Atnerican people would have the opportunity as well as the direct eiscourage- ment to economize and save money hy putting within their reach the opportunity of lending their savings in such small amounts even as 235 cents to their own government, These stamps are not issued by the government as an investment for the rich They are intended for people of small means primarily.They are intended to bring within the reach of every one in the United States the opportunity of investing in the obligations of the United States government upon terms unusually advantageous to | the investor and to encourage every one to save his money and lend it to the government.The plan offers the most direct incentive to ecunomize and save ever offered to the people of the country.When the government makes it possible for every one to know that by saving 25 cents, which otherwise would have been wasted, he can invest that 25 cents in a government obligation, it i8 a definite objective to which each one's economy may be directed.Will Beneft Whole Nation.I look upon the war savings campaign which the department has now inaugurated as prowising the most wholesome benefits to the American people and producing fundamentul conditions that will be of Immense help In financing us well as in sue- cessfully prosecuting the war.Interlocked with the question of \u201csmall savings\u201d which can be invested in War Savings stufips at interest is the question of \u201clarge savings\u201d which can be invested in Liberty bonds ut interest, The men and women of large and moderate means owe a greater duty, because they have un lurge margin of income, to cut off self- fmdulgences, to deny themselves useless and needless luxuries, to make sacrifices that will effect genuine economies und set an example to the uu- tion.Every dollur saved represents ac tual supplies saved and made avaliable for heroic soldiers and suffering civil fans in Europe and Alucrica, It is casy te visualize the course of a dollar saved from wiuste and invested in government bonds: First it goes to the government as a loan for the war; second, it is expended by the government for food, clothing and ammunition, which go firectly to a gallant soldier or sailor whose fighting strength is kept up by the food, whose body is kept wir by the clothing, and whose cnemy is hit by the zum munition.It has not heen expended in the purchase of rcudiess food and clothing for the mun at home, and is therefore released for the Use of the soldier; it Is saved wealth to the man at hone, and can be loaned to his governtuent at interest, with resulting benpelit to himself and to his government.Must Uphold Credit to U.S.We must realize that the government's credit is vital to the success of the war: that it underlies every active ity.It is nu sacred duty of every citl- zen, und it should be regarded as a glorious privilege by every patriot to uphold the governments credit with the sume kind of self-sacrifice and nobility of soul that our gallant sons exhibit when they die for us on the battlefields of Lurope.It is as imperative to sustain the government's credit as it Is to sustain our armies, because our armies cannot be sus tained unless the government's credit is always above reproach.The courage and resources of the nation are so abundant that America\u2019s success In the war is beyond question if they are properly organized and intelligently used.The economic and financial condition of the country wns never so strong and Amerlco\u2019s spirit was never more uroused to the importance and necessity of golog forward, resolutely and regardless of suc.rifice, to the accomplishment of the great task to which God has called us.dofbdb ddd bddbbddbbddddddbdd 14-YEAR-OLD VETERAN BACK FROM TRENCHES CEFF ERE EEE EEE REE Sydney Juffo, a New York boy, nged fourteen, has returned home from

manufactures had changed there would be less confusion if clocks were set ahead and the new time adopted for all purposes.Notwithstanding his clear explanation a number of his congregation came to early mass only to meet others leaving the service.On Sunday morning, March 3let, some American ladies who worship at the Congregational Church on the, Canadian side, came on new time and | had to sit

Land.A.W.Elie of Northfield, one of the Vermonters to enliet with the Canadian forces gives his impressions in the letter which appears below.Pte.Elie is 8 nephew of Mr.E.Bolsclaire of Beebe.Dec.16, 1917 My peur Parents, and the Friends of Now that We are safely overseas and have plenty of adventures, will endeavor to relate a few incidents of interest, however to a certain extent on account of Military lawe for National protection, there are some which I shall be unable to relate.For several weeks had been reading ot the adventures and records of that famous old regiment, \u2018The Black Watch,\u201d and finally enlisted in September in the Royal Highlanders of Canads, recruiting at that time in Boston.Was sent to Montreal for training, and after a few weeks of what we at present consider as pleasure in that city we were called overseas.Left Montreal the middie of October on 8.8.had a fine trip down the St.Lawrence to Halifax, when we were reinforced by 700 C.M.R.(Canadian Mounted Rifles.) On the following Monday we started our course across the Atlantic; we bad not left Halifax more than an hour before many of us were very sea-sick, but in due time all recovered and were regular attendants in the dining saloon.With the exception of one very rough day we arrived safely at Liverpool; and it is certainly wonderful the escort which Great Britain furnishes her allies on their course overseas as a protection againet submarines.It includes torpedo boats, mine sweepers, and finally near the end airships.Had a fine view of the coasts of Scotland and Ireland coming over.We were then placed on troop trains after getting our things together, etc., and taken to our present quarters.We were kept in quarantine for 10 days to see if we were safe to mix in with the rest, and finally on being let loose and sent on asix days furlough to explore the country at our heart\u2019s de- pire; I found it all very beautiful and interesting; however, very much dii- ferent from our American cities and towns, and quite turned upside down on account of the war.I found London my most interesting place to stop; and things in that city are far different from New York or Boston; the comforts in the barber shops are not like home.The department slores are altogether different from ours, no way of displaying goods etc.A very interesting thing is the bus system in place of trolley cars;

Eagle.Dallying with every proposition that comes up will never get a business club anywhere.Nothing will be accomplished and the club might as well disband and go home.Every member, particularly every director, should be live, wide-awake and rearing to go.Every member should be not only willing but glad to contribute to uny worthy movement that means more for the town.And every man in the town should be a member.A commercial club's supreme pure pose is something else than adding u few dollars to the trade of the town and paying a secretary to keep the minutes and the accounts.The deal secretary is a man of ideas und dynamic force, who can lead his people to the acceptance of those Ideas, who can arouse interest of the directors and other members and give them something to do, unconsciously to themselves, that is worth while for the upbullding of the town.On \u201cCleaning Up.\u201d Let's all appoint ourselves as a committee of one to help keep the town clean and healthy and let's make & good start by cleaning up our own premises, urges the Lake Charles, KLa.) American Press.In other words, de consistent, let's all practice exactly what we preach.If every person will do this, we shall have one of the healthiest cities In the country.In no other way can this much-to-be-desired condition be obtained.By walting for the other fellow to start first, nobody starts, and we just go along in a perfunctory way from day to day and year to year.Lake Charles is already healthy and clean, but nobody will deny that the city could be made a whole lot healthier and cleaner, and the way to do it is for everybody to clean up thelr own premises and keep them clean, and this applles especlally to the back yards and alleys where tin cans, empty boxes, discarded this and that accumulate from time to time.Depicts the \u201cGreat Trek.\u201d An Interesting film has

Fight Starts April 6, Beginning of Children\u2019s Year.BiG FEATURE OF WAR WORK Children\u2019s Bureau of the Department of Labor Plans Program for the Wel- ) fare of 30,000,000 Children Under 15 Years of Age\u2014Many Die From Lack of Care and Nourishment\u2014Ignor.ance of Parents to Blame in Most Cases.An interesting feature of the war work, for It can no doubt be included In the various activities in behalf of the national government at the pres.eut time, Is the determination of the children\u2019s bureau in the depurtment of lubor to suve bubles und young children.Preparation for what is called a \u201cdrive,\u201d a word very much used in connection with all war work, has been In progress for several months und \u201cChildren\u2019s Year\u201d is to begin April 6, the anniversary of the entry of the United States Into the world war.The bureau announces that its campaign is to save 100,000 bables and young children during the year, but this is only à part of a big program for the welfare of 30,000,000 children under fifteen years of age in the United States.Investigation by the children\u2019s bureau has shown a lack of care and con- sideratlon for the children, and that many babies dle from lack of care and nourishment due in many cases to the poverty of the parents, but in most cases to the ignorance of the parents in the care of children, Children Best Crop.Brigham Young, the noted Mormon prophet, once remarked that \u201cUtah\u2019s best crop is children,\u201d He and the other Mormon pioneers went on the theory that population created wealth and that population was necessary.particularly in a new country.Scientists of Germany have become alarmed on account of the decrease in the birth rate in that country and have predicted that a long continuation of the wur will work Germany\u2019s ruin, not only because of the falling off of the birth rate, but because the lack of care and attention will result in the death of babies and young children.While It is true that a few thinkers and writers believe that the present war was caused by the over-popula- tion of the earth, and that a check to the increase of population was necessary in order to prevent future starvation, the general run of scientists and publicists are of the opinion that the more population a country has the richer It becomes, and that its wealth, prosperity and grandeur are measured largely by the number of people withe In its borders.Consequently the en- érgies of the people who Interest themselves in the subject at all are bent toward preserving population, hence the children\u2019s year Inaugurated in the department of labor for the purpose of saving the lives of 100,000 children for the future of the country.Dr.F.Truby King, a physician who, has had a great deal to do with the development of the New Zealand so- clety for the health of women and children, was in Washington a short time ago and stopped to confer with the welfare experts of the children\u2019s bur eau in the department of labor.Dr.King is on his way to England to take charge of special work in the English campaign for saving the lives of ba- bles and he has visited a number of places in the United States for the purpose of waking inquiry Into the conditions and methods of work in American cities, Most Could Be Saved.\u201cI see no essential reason why the United States should have an infant mortality rate twice as high as that of New Zealand,\u201d he told the officlals of the children\u2019s bureau.\u201cI fancy that with you, as with us, most of the ba- bles who die could have been saved by proper care, You are losing, as I understand it, about one baby in every ten under one year old.It ls not many years since we had in New Zea- land an infant death rate almost as high as that, but we have brought it down until now we lose about one baby in twenty during the first year of uge, and we fully expect to reduce it still further, \u201cThe method ig after all very simple.We have a corps of nurses who are specially trained In the principles of child care and who are at the service of all mothers who wish to learn how to take care of themselves and how to take care of thelr babies.We have consultation centers to which mothers of all classes, come for advice, and we have hospitals where mothers and bables who are slightly alling stay a week or more for closer observation and special instruction.\u201cAnd then we have managed to muke the care of children a topic of general interest and discussion.Our work is now subsidized by the government but its success depends largely \u2018on the widespread popular support ?t has had from the beginning.Instructions in Hygiene.\u201cYour plans for a children's year and the saving of 100,000 lives of children under five years of age are exe tremely interesting.And such n reduction in your mortality rate among bables and young children ought to be entirely possible.Of course, I be- lleve it will depend primarily upon the success you huve In making available to every individual mother absolutely authoritative, simple instructions in hygiene.For example, if such publie health nursing work as I have been seeing in your big cities could be extended throughout the country, that of itself would huve immediate results.\u201cWe have learned in New Zea- land,\u2014and I suppose it 1s the same in this country\u2014that it is not only the very poor mothers who need help and advice, Onr soclety reaches alike the wives of professional men and the wives of laborers, and I fancy some such general campaign of education is equally needed in this country.\u201d WOMEN TAKE PART IN THRIFT STAMP DRIVE CUBA »- 0-0::0-0-10:10-16-10:00-0-0-10-10-10-10-
