The four districts are Chittenden, Rut land, Caledonia and Addison. Felix D, Halllnan Is the lone Burlington man, who has been reported to the district attorney, and It Is thought that he has enlisted elsewhere. As the time for their examination has passed, they are called for military service nnd neither can be exempted nor dis charged when apprehended, because of their failure to report for military duty. Names ox those from the four counties who failed to report follow: CHITTENDEN COUNTY. William F. Abare of Chnrlotte. Felix 1). Halllnan of Burlington, r Re ported enlisted July 27), RUTLAND COUNTY.

In writing n classified advertisement see to It that you have said all that ought to be said in such an ad and you'll get results. To provide recreation for the troops In camp, the National War Council of the Young Men's Christian Association In the United States has made provision for the presentation of eight million feet of film per wcok. In 343 cantonments, camps and posts, 1128 programs will be rendered wof.lflv. number, but arrangements have been mado to tnko caro of many smaller points. In the southern department, for Instance, two motor trucks will be used to carry cntcrtnlnments to troops In out of tho way places. The moving picture machine will bo mounted on tho truck and a portable screen will be hung wherever needed. A week will be required for a truck to cover Its route. Should tho necessity arise, other trucks will be put Into service. In the permanent camps arrangements are being mado for outdoor and Indoor mov ing plcturos. The machines In the large auditoriums will be so arranged that the pictures may be thrown upon the screens In front of the auditorium or out a win dow to an open air screen on the Bide. In- order that the layman may under stand what eight million feet of film a week means, It may be explained that a second Is required to run a foot of film through a machine. This means that eight million feet of film represent eight million seoonds, or two thousand two hun dred and twenty-eight hours of solid en tertainment. Reducing these figures still further, It moans that were an ordinary moving picture house to present a show two hours long, the eight million feet of film would provide a program for one thousand one hundred and fourteen dnys. Tho eight million feet would stretch from New York to Fargo, North Dakota, or Wichita, Kansas. It would stretch from New York to two hundred miles beyond Kansas City, New Orleans and Minne apolis. As a result of careful study of the pic tures presented by tho Young Men's Christian Association at the various camps along the border and In the camps estab lished since the war began, Mr. Warren Dunham Foster of the Community Motion Picture Bureau which is supplying the pictures for tho Young Men's Christian Association has pretty good Ideas as to tho kind of pictures tho men like. In sum ming up the dislikes of the men in camp, he said: "The men don't want sob stuff. They do not want pictures of home, mother and Heaven. At the samo time they do not like pictures depicting the soldier as being especially heroic or patriotic. "On the other hand, they like romances. Little Mary Pickford Is Just a3 popular with the men In the camps as she Is with tho millions of movie fans. The men like real war pictures. They like farces. In fact they aro working hard and they want entertainment. 'It may seem a little strange, but re ports from the various departments show that what is popular In one department Is popular In another. For Instance, what proves a great success In tho Western Department, also proves a success In the Eastern, Southern or Central cpartments The reports from the various departments are nearly uniform GETS ABOUT $20,000. Y. 31. C, A. Shy Only SB.OOO of State Fund Secretary Clark Goes. State Secretary Byron N. Clark of the Y. M. C. A., before he left Mondny night for the South, said that Vermont had col lected about $20,000 out of the $25,000 as signed It toward the war work fund. Active efforts to obtain the cash were halted, more or less, when Mr. Clark left to take charge of the boys' camp, Abnakl, which closes on September 3. Mr. Clark said that most, If not all, of eight more men that are being considered for war work at soldiers' camps would be appointed from Vermont. Those al ready selected are: The Rev. A. B. Brad ford of tho Congregational Church, Rut land, who Is In Arizona; the Rev. Walter Thorpe of the Brandon Congregntlonal Church, who Is en route to Texas or has arrived there; L. A. Morhous, who has been at Fort Ethan Allen and nccom panled Mr. Clark to Charlotte, N. C. President Guy Potter Benton of the State university, who goes to France early next month; and the Rev. W. L. Boicourt, of the Waterbury Congregational Church, who also will go to France. Secretary Clark left Monday for Char lotte. There he will be In charge of 28,000 men and five Y. M. C. A. buildings.

This office will close at neen Sat. urdays May 1 to October 1. 99K KaSaH John Sellh stood before a Jury of 12 men, "good and true," Thursday morning and argued his case to victory. The trial took place at the county court room In the county court building before Judge Charles 8. Palmer. H. S. Peck, city attorney, prosecuted. The case, which had been hanging fire since last December and of which much has been printed, came to a conclusion at one o'clock, the Jury being out nearly one hour considering the different aspects of the case. The trouble arose over what the plumb ing Inspector claimed was a violation of the city ordinance at Mr. Selth's home on Foster avenue, Scarff's addition, where It was claimed Mr. Selth had Installed plumbing that did not meet the require ments of a city ordinance. ' The Jury as finally composed consisted of Hector Huard, J. F. Allard, N. B. Klngsley, Grant Comstock, H. H. Davis, W. B. McKilllp, foreman, P. J. Enrlght. E. A. Brodle, A. McDonald, Frank Car pentler, F, H, Brown and H. F. Saxton. All Selth has to pay Is $4 for the privi lege of addressing tho Jury, and It was understood by the defendant that this sum was to be returned should he be victo rious. Had he had the services of an at torney, It would have cost him In the neighborhood of $25, Including the plea to the Jury. Tho cost to the State and the city will be In the vicinity of $100, and tho bill for the plumbing cost Mr. Selth but a few paltry dollars, as he did most of the work on his own spare time. Besides Dennis E. Harran, who was re sponsible for prosecuting the defendant, the health officer, Dr. F. J. Ennl the su perintendent of streets, John Coffey, J. J, Devereux and H. E. Moore testified. After all was said and done Thursday the question before the Jury seemed to be was Selth right, or was Harran? Judge Palmer said the defendant was an Inno cent man until he was proven guilty. Hamilton S. Peck, the city's attorney, made no closing argument. After the Jurors had returned to their places, Clerk of the Court Jed P. Ladd polled the Jury, Inquiring If they had reached a verdict. "We have," said W. B. McKilllp, foreman. And Mr. Ladd In quired tho result of the verdict. "We find the defendant not guilty," said Mr. Mc Killlp. Tho court then announced: "The Jury Is discharged." I am not a lawyer, but I will make ap plication for the privilege of practicing before the bar If the plumbing ordinance of thts city Is not changed," said John yesterday afternoon. He added that he did not look for sym pathy from the Jury because he could find that In the dictionary. Ho also said that he asked the Jury to use common sense, as the case was not to be disposed of by civil law, and he said he proved to these gentlemen that he made two applications to Dennis Harran, one verbal and one written, although the In spector declared he had made none.

O'Sulllvan. 30 Church Street, (AdvJ A hay crop, which despite a slightly smaller acreage, will bo oven larger than tho bumper yield of 1916, and corps of oats, barley and corn far ahead of last summer's Is Chittenden county's message to consumers. County Agent J. W. Dana. while cautious about giving precise figures, was optimistic when talked to last evening regarding conditions. The county will pro vide 200-300 acres of wheat, ho says, against the 14 acres with. Thloli the United States census of 1910 credited it. Fifty ncres more of alfalfa has been planted this year than last, 200 acreB In all probably, and tho third cutting which soon will be made already Is a foot high. The weather has been fine for hay, and the surplus of last summer Is not so large as to make the crop a drug on the market. it ought to run W, to 1 tons to an acre. Alfalfa Is Itself a hay crop, and this year's yield will do a little toward Increasing the total yield of hay. The first cutting aver aged 1 tons to the acre, the second a ton, while the third will be better than the second. GRAIN CROPS LARGE, TOO. Oats are looking very well all through the county, which has perhaps 10,000 acres planted. The yield will be a third larger than tho nverage of other years and about that much bigger' than the 1916 croa. The acreage is larger, also. Barley Is another grain that Is flourish ing, and the crop should also be a third greater than the average of other years and also considerably overtop that of 1916. Corn Is more or less of an unknown quantity In more senses than one, but the yield will be much larger than last year, which was not a fortunate one for Chittenden county nny more than the rest of the State. How much larger the yield will be, the county agent declined to say. Rye does not amount to much In Chit tenden. COUNTY A GOOD INDEX. Mr. Dana refused to talk about condi tions outside the county, but Chittenden ordinarily has been a good Index of what may be expected of Vermont generally. The grasshopper pest no longer menaces hay anywhere, worth talking about; oats look well almost everywhere in the State, and weather conditions have not varied in any county much more than in Chit tenden. j THREE PROJECTS END SOON About POO IloyN nnd Girls In Sewing;.
