(Springfield Reporter) The Burlington Clipper allows that "while it may be to the credit of the two senators from Vermont that they did -cot talk on the, peace treaty in the United States senate yet the peo ple of the state would like to know just what they did think of it and the League of Nations. Senators Dillingham and Page voted solidly with Senator Lodge and by their votes helped to defeat ratification of the treaty. The Springfield Report er calls on the two senators for an explanation but it is not likely that any will be made." The Clipper's presumption has so far proved cor rect for nothing has been heard from either Mr. Page or Mr. Dillingham, who may have nothing to say or con sider their constituents improperly curious concerning their position on the" ratification issue. VERMONT 'NEWS Thomas and Stafford. (Springfield Reporter) The Burlington Free Press has ..aught a whisper to the effect that Pres. John M. Thomas of Middlebury college might be persuaded to be come a candidate for election to the United States senate to succeed Car roll S. Paee. With President Thorn- as toiiowing .sir. .rage, ana juuge Stafford in place of Mr. Dillingham, Vermont would have a matched pair in the senate that would make most of the entries from other states look like a scub lot. The Bennington post of the Amer ican Legion has suggested to the vil idfTit and trustees that cer tain streets in the village be named in honor of those wno lost tneir lives in the world war. One of the largest bay lynx ever shot in northern Vermont was killed on Bakersfield mountain recently by Fred Pfenstile of Enosburg Falls and J. Bullafd of Swanton. The lynx was 22 inches long and weighed 26 pounds. The men sighted the lynx and after a long chase Mr. Bal lard drove it out into the opening, where Pfenstile shot the animal. Fire destroyed the Odd Fellows building in Richmond Dec. 11, caus ing a loss estimated at between $18,00(3 and $20,000.

Q., Journal) Rev. Wm. C. Johnson, a lifelong Methodist, is the helmsman in com bining the forces in the two church es in West Charleston, and is preach ing to audiences of more than a hun dred. Necessity forced this federa tion and it doubtless will be a bless ing in disguise. Commander John M. Thomas of the American Legion in Vermont has received a telegram from the secre tary of the national organization, saying that the I. W. W. at Cen tralia, Wash., has secured a change "f venne and is raising $100,000 for the defense of their case. The Ver mont members of the Legion, like those of all other states, are to be asked to start a campaign to raise at least 2- cents per man to rent the case. Commander Thomas has re plied that Vermont will do its duty and will launch the campaign immediately. The home for boys, incorporated under the name.

Already a very substantial sum of money ha3 been pledged toward its erection. The idea is a splendid one and should be carried out in many places. The day has come when costly but useless memorials in stone or metal will satisfy the public. Many towns there are where a public build ing dedicated to the memory of those who went from the community into the war, and so designed as to fill a community need, would be a -most usefuf, dignified and lasting testi mony any place could possibly honor its sons with. Take Barton for ex ample. Barton needs a public library building. Why not a memorial building for library purposes. An other place where just such a building would fill a distinct need is in North Troy. Orleans has a municipal opera building but even so, what more fit ting memorial than a building such b.3 k.23 already been mentioned. A program of three or five year pledges from local persons and organizations ought to work now that war drives are over and war chests are being disorganized. Let it be hoped that Danville's good example will stimu late other towns to action. Who is the person or what 13 the organiza- went at tus job in a numan kind ot way, man to man fashion, and the spirit of absolute fairness based upon painstaking investigation, ha3 al ways obtained. Neither a man s sta tion in life nor his bank account had anything to do with the case; facts tempered with common sense have been his motives for action. Yes, keep Black, for Black is white. Advice to the N. E. 31. P. A. (Waterbury Becord) We had supposed that the New En gland Milk Producers' association was an organization designed to fight the battles of the poor farmers and see to it that right prices prevailed.1 Now comes the rumor that if the Ver mont Dairymen's Federation Inc.. is formed, the New England Milk Pro ducers' association will "fight .it to the last ditch and put it cut of busi ness. If the Dairymen's Federation inc., is what its name implies, it3 right to live is quite deserving. If, on the other hand it is simply a pa per organization and the movement is oackeo. by some of the big corpora tions who are not any too friendly with the good work accomplished by the New England Milk Products as sociation, it is a horse of a different color. We know nothing about the inside working of the New England Milk Producers association. Since the organization, prices have steadly advanced, in many instances due largely Jo the efforts on the part of the officials of the association. Spmetimes organizations get too all killing powerful especially some of its officials. The personal element sometimes over-exercises its power. This talk, if true, about putting peo ple out of . business, sounds too much like what some of the big corpora tions said, or are reported to have said, about putting the New England Milk Producers assoociation out of aoa tnat will start the move m some j ever gets so big that it can make ef the towns mentioned? threats. It is poor judgment and the policy 13 rotten. WHERE SANTA WAS BORN Russian Legend of Saint Klaus and How He Came to Be Known as the Children's Friend. Tery many years ago there lived in Russia a nobleman and his wife, who bad a little son named Klaus. He tras such a good boy that everyone as-l to call him Saint Klaus. In coarse ot time his parents died and left him a large fortune, not the least part of which was three large bars of gold. Saint Klaus one day happened tf te passing a house, and overheard a father telling his daughters that he had lost all his money, and that he didn't even know how he was go n to bay food for them. This worried Saint Klaus very much, and he wan dered how he cou!d help them. So that night he took one of the hers of gold End threw it through the window. The next eight he threw the second bar, and crept quietly away, but on the third night when he. was about to throw the third bar. the man who had lost all his money came out and caught him. tie' tried to thank Saint Klaus for his goodness to him and Ms fiacghters, but Saint Klaus told Mm to pay his thanks to God. whose serv nt he was."""" - - And there, boys and girts, you have mwrj ot samt Klaus Cor Santa -uua as we can him).

Since the first cf May 18 clinics have been held in the state for this class of patients and 403 treatments have boen given. The work is considered so important that the establishment of a school for crippled children in Vermont is now being seriously considered.- It is quite probable that sn;h a school rav be opened some time next year.
