About SO members cf the Barton
Improvement club gathered Friday
evening at the New Willoughby hotel
in Westmore, at an informal dinner
and reception given to Dr. F. R. Has
tings, who is soon to take up army
medical work in France. Eight
o'clock found the guests sitting down
to a most excellent repast arranged
by Host Sisco. After disposing of
the dinner, cigars were passed and
short informal talks were given by
several of those present.
President Carter in brief, well
chosen words, spoke of the doctor's
service to Barton ana oi ms reaamess
to aid and assist in all steps taken of
value to the town and community and
voiced his regret over the necessity
of the doctors going, but compli
menting the decision.
F. D. Thompson, the next speaker,
referred to "scrapping with the doc
tor for the past seventeen years, hav
ing known him since he first located
here, spoke of his "going for the good
of his town and country" and in clo
sing presented the doctor in behalf of
the club with a wrist-watch bearing a
suitable inscription on its back.
The doctor, when expressing ap
preciation and thanks for the well
wishes and the remembrance told
something of his plans for the future,
stating that he had offered his ser
vices to the United States, butnot be
ing a citizen of this country found it
nractically impossible to get his of
fer accepted. For this reason he has
joined the same branch of the service
with the Canadian army and after
four or five weeks in a training camp
in Canada will sail for France. He
spoke of his seventeen years among
the people of Barton, said that all his
friends and interests were here and
that he would surely return when his
duty abroad was finished.
Several other speakers followed
who told of their years of acquain
tance with him, regretting that he
must go, at the same time praising
the step taken and expressing thanks
that such men as the doctor would be
in France to look after the needs of
our men.
Sawyer's orchestra furnished music
and the evening was enjoyed by all
present.
Dr. Hastings left Monday evening.
OUR GIFT.
(Lines written to "Our Doctor on
the eve of his departure to the front.)
The world has given her best
For the hope that the world holds,

The life that gives is the life that is

Not lost is one falling tear.
You know we would like to keep you,
But we must not grudge the gift. -We
must live our lives with courage
We must each of us help and lift. J
God speed you on Mercy's errands
As you go far o'er the sea.

SEVENTY-EIGHT MEN
ACCEPTED FOR SERVICE.
Names cf Some Dependent Exemp
tion Claims Which Were
Allowed.
The county exemption board goes
tirelessly on working at its task of
selecting 92 men from Orleans county
for Uncle Sam's new army. Five
hundred men have been summoned
before it, 1S4 at the first call, 200 at
the second and 116 were before the
board the first days of this week. The
names of those in each call have been
printed previous to the call - in the
Monitor.
The first great division of these
men is into two classes. Those who
pass the physical examination and
those who do not.- The Monitor has
printed the names of those who did
not pass the physical examination in
the first call of 184 and the names of
33 who have been accepted for ser
vice out of that number, and this
week prijits other lists. Readers are
asked to note carefully the introduc
tion to the different lists printed in
order that they may not confuse
them.
The names of 33 men who were ac
cepted for service and not given ex
emptions out of the first 184 called
were printed last week. Forty-five
men were accepted and not exempt
out of the second call of 200 men,
making a total accepted for service
up to the time of making the third
call 78, and the board expect to find
enough men among the 118 before
them in the past three days to fill the
men who are accepted out of the sec
county's quota of 92. The Monitor is
printing below the names of the 45
ond call 6f 200 men.

GLOVER CHURCH ICO YEARS OLD
Address cf Historical Value Quoted
in Full.
The centennial of the Glover Con
rre national church was held at the
church at West Glover Tuesday, Aug
ust 21. The celebration was neces
sarily curtailed on account of the or
der of the board of health restricting
such gatherings and the injury of Mr.
Baker, only a few being present from
out of town. Among these were Rev.
Mr. Claris of Coventry, Rev. Mr. Tup
per of Irasburg, and Rev. Mr. Wells
of Glover, who made appropriate re
marks. .
F. W. Baldwin of Barton gave a
rery interesting historical "address,
tracing the history of the church
from "the earliest settlement. He
:cld how religious services were held
for several years by one of the set
tlers, Steven Bliss, by whose efforts a
r-hurch was organized in 1817 with
16 members, and gave an account of
the pastors of the church and the
work which the cr.urcn has accom
plished in its century of existence.
Mr. Baldwin's complete address is
as follows:
One hundred years have passed
since this .church was organized, and
since that time stupendous changes
have taken place, the world has been
revolutionized in many ways, and
things have taken place that the most
imaginative never would have dream
ed about one hundred years ago, and
even now we do not undertake to-con-jecture
what a month may bring
forth.
In 1870 the so-called "Hazen Mili
tary Road" was built. This road
started from Newbury, Vt., and pass
ed through the towns of Greensboro,
Craftsbury, Albany, Lowell, and end
ed in Westfield, in , the county of Or
leans: On account of this road, set
tlements were made earlier in the
towns along its course than other
wise would have occurred. Settle
ments were made in both Greensboro
and- Craftsbury in 1789. In 1793
Timothy Hinman, the first settler in
Derby, built a-, crude "road -from
Greensboro to Derby through Glover,
Barton, Brownington, Salem to Der
by. In a manuscript plan of the
town of Greensboro, for Gen. White
law's map of Vermont, this road is
shown as "Road to ye Memphrimagog
Country." . This road started from

SCHOOLS OPEN TUESDAY.
Reorganization in Grades Means
Greater ECkiency.
Tuesday morning will see the chil
dren of Barton wending their way to
ward the schoolhouse where they will
enter upon the work of 1917-1S.
The greatest changes in the school
this year take place in the grades
which have been strengthened by giv
ing each of the first four grades a
room and a teacher, where heretofore
two grades have been under one
teacher and caused a crowded condi
tion. The first three grades will be
on the first floor under Miss IIol
brook, Mrs. Baldwin, and Miss Colby.
The domestic or home economic rodqi
will be retained on the first floor.
Grade four under Mrs. Jennings
will go to the room formerly occupied
by the teacher training class on. the
second floor. On this floor will also
be the fifth and sixth grades under
Mrs. Heath, and the junior high
school under Miss Renfrew. This de
partment is made up of the seventh
and eighth grades and the old ninth
grade is eliminated completely.
The only teacher not announced is
the teacher of domestic science, Miss
Phoebe Currier of Colebrook, N. II.
Miss Currier is a graduate of Sim
mons college and will have work in
the junior high school as well as in
the senior high school. The other
departmental teacher, Miss Ruggles,
will have music as usual, and the
high school faculty is made up as fol
lows: F. Jay Bates, principal; F. S.
Hoag, vice principal:; Miss Ferrin
and 'Miss Cook, assistants.
The corps of teachers will be rec
ognized as especially strong and in
offering work in agriculture under
Mr. Hoag, the school is giving some
thing for which young men of the day
are looking.
Any who have places where young
people can work for their board or
earn money by the hour are asked to
communicate with the principal, the
school trustees or Superintendent Er

Gigantic County-wide Red Cross Benefit
Monitor Makes Public Plan Whereby Every Family May Help
Themselves and the Red Cross.
You are interested in the Red Cross movement or you
would not be reading this. The Monitor is interested in the
Red Cross or it would not have given the large amount of
space it has devoted to the work. So our sympathies are mu
tual. It will be easy for us to act together forf the benefit of
the work in Orleans county.
The Monitor proposes to help the various chapters in the
county raise several hundred dollars before October 1, and de
pends upon you to help. Your part is simple. Instead of
waiting until your subscription to the Monitor expires on Jan
uary 1, or some other date, renew now through your local
chapter. The Monitor will give to that chapter 25 per cent of
all Monitor subscription money it receives during September.
If you are not now a subscriber to the Monitor become one and
you will make your local chapter better oil by 25 per cent of
the amount you pay for the Monitor.
Think of it! The Monitor is going to give 25 per cent of
every dollar received for new or renewal subscriptions through
the Red Cross chapters of Orleans county during September for
Red Cross work. You will pay your local people for the paper
and they will get 25 per cent of it, while you will get the full
credit for the Monitor. On every $1.50 paid the Red Cross
receives 3714 cents. On every 100 subscriptions there is
$37.50 for the Red Cross and when this is multiplied by other
hundreds the result is tremendous. It is perfectly possible for
the Red Cross work to benefit several hundred dollars in cash
during September if the thousands of Monitor friends in the
county and out will pay for their paper now instead of waiting
three months or whenever their time expires. Credit will be
given from the time to which your paper is now paid for what
ever amount may be subscribed from 75 cents to $3.00. We
will not accept less than six months' subscriptions or more
than two-year subscriptions on this plan. We will in no case
advance subscriptons beyond Jan. 1, 1920.
If you are not now a subscriber, and get a copy of this
paper, it is an invitation to subscribe and help the Red Cross.
If you are now a subscriber this is an invitation to renew
now and help the Red Cross movement.
We will say here that this plan will not interfere in any
way with the large number of Monitor subscribers who have
come to depend upon us for all their reading matter. All who
subscribe for the Monitor through September to help the Red
Cross will be given our usual club rates with all magazines and
papers as though they paid for the Monitor when subscribing
for their other reading matter. This will not disturb the hun
dreds of families who now order all their reading through this
office and thereby save a large discount on it. The Monitor
sells nearly every paper and magazine published at the whole
sale rate to its subscribers.
Local Red Cross chapters have receipt books and will
take your subscriptions.
If all act together the result will be a wonderful success
and aid for the Red Cross. So don't delay. Act now.

MORE LETTERS FROM FRANCE.
Westmore Boy Sends Short Messag
es to Parents.
Two weeks ago the Monitor printed
a short letter from Wayne French to
his parents in Westmore. So far as
known Mr. French is the only man in
France today, whom Orleans county
can claim as her own. Here are
three short messages of hi3, one dat
ed as late as August 5.
"Somewhere in France:"
July 8, 1017.
My dear Mother and Dad:
It wa3 certainly good' to get your
letters this morning after so long a
time without hearing from you or
knowing anything about you. I got
four letters from you and one from
Mrs. Rand. I hope you received the
cards I sent when we landed for then
you will know I am all right. We
are now well settled in camp, howev
er, I do not expect this is our perma
nent camp, so we will have to move
af'a'm.
It ii a wonderful day here, in fact
every day is warm and pleasant with
cold nights. It. is hard to realize
where I am for it seems hard to
imagine myself out of the U, S. A.
The women and children here aro
making brave efforts to cultivate the
land, for the men are all at the front.
The only men around are those home
on furlough and tho.-e who are too
old to fi-rht. It is better that we fight
over here than eventually be invaded
in our own country and get in the
condition things arc in here. Many
are looking for an early peace, as it
is evident that Germany is making
her last efforts. Many things are
high here, such as sweets, etc., but
other things are cheap.
Don't worry about me and write .
often.
All my love,
V.'ayne.
