Cecil Hapgood, a returned Canadi an soldier came to Orleans Tuesday afternoon under the auspices of the committee on Public Information, and told his experiences during his two years with the Canadian army. He enlisted at Winnipeg on Jan 1st, 1916 and joined the 101st Battalion. On their arrival in England their identity was lost owing to their being transferred to a reserve battalion, from which they were drafted as needed to go to France. His description of the life "over there" was very vivid as he took his audience with him on the march through the mud and over the top to take part in a trench raid until at the battle of Vimy Ridge, where they lost 700 men out of their battalion of 1100 men. He was wounded in the head, arm, back and side and still carries four pieces of shrapnel in his side. He was at Ramsgate, Eng., in a hospital when the town was raided by the Germans and all the raids up on England only make the Brittons more determined. His close was an appeal to the peo ple at home to back up the men who are giving their lives "over there" with their money, for if the Germans should get to Vermont, he would not give a nickel for the whole state, it would be just like northern France. Elmer E. Doe, chairman of the Or leans War Savings stamp committee, was the next speaker, and he an nounced the names of C. D. French and Gilbert Gross as the committee appointed to canvass for the pledges. O. W. Locke then made an appeal for the people to buy the stamps and bring to the boys in the trenches when they get the news that Orleans had gone "over the top' for them. The meeting closed by the singing of America, after which several of the people met and shook hands with Mr. Hapgood, who is fortunate in not being disabled to a greater degree. His left hand is his worst handicap, the cords being stiffened as a result of being shot through the arm half way to the elbow. Annual District Meeting.

Or will you pass by on the other side with your eyes on God's green earth which covers so many of these noble heroes who have done their part and yours gladly?

You may have enough money so that you can afford to take a chance on doubtful quality. But you can't afford to waste resources that our fighters need. When you buy cheap clothes you're not only wasting your money but you're wasting labor and wool.
