A Brattleboro Tnotorryelit )m been
fined for operating his car with the muf
fler cutout open. This sort of prosecu
tion is so rare when many motorcyclists
are constantly barking their way
through a town that it is worthy of
notice.
The reduction in fire insurance rates
on granite manufacturing establishments
in Bane, which is just announced by the
Xew England Insurance exchange, is the
result of a large expenditure of money
by the city of Barre and is merited by
the conditions.
Having formed a company of the new
Vermont National Guard and having
shown itself in need of a state armory,
Rutland is deserving of being choen the
place for laying out the state appropria
tion, providing such an appropriation is
to be spent at all.
The Hungarian populace seems to be
awakening to the fact that it is being
duped through the accession of a member
of , royalty to the dictatorship. There
will need to be constant caution for
years if the people of Hungary wish to
retain hold of their own government and
their own affairs.
In case Montpelier'e proposed brick
making concern, which is to use granite
waste as a chief material, develops as its
supporters claim it will, there will be a
marked reduction in the size of the grout
piles around the stoncsheds and at the
quarries; for, of course, such an industry
would eventually take in Barre. There is
already enough material in Barre and at ,
the quarries to permit feeding the indus
try for a century or more.
Just a few of our good

Couldn't Be Done-So He Did It
Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But he, with a chuckle, re
plied: That ".Maybe it couldn't," but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say so 'til he
tried.
So he buckled right in with -a
trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he
hid it.
He started to sing a he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done and he
did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Ch, you'll nev.
er do that;
At least no one ever has done
it."
But he took off his coat and he
took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew
he'd begun it :
With the lift of his chin, and a
bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or
quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldat' be done and he
did it.
There are thousands to tell you
it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure ;
There are thousands to point out
to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail
you.
But just buckle in with a bit of
grin,
Then take off your coat and go
to it.
Just start in to ting at you tackle
the thing
That "cannot be don" ftnd
youH do it Herbert Guest.
This little poem seems to emphasize qualities which exist in nearly every individual,
but which in the majority of cases lie dormant. Why is it ? Perhaps it may be from the
fact that they have not the confidence which a bank account would inspire in them.
It is difficult to measure the reserve poower of a savings account. It is the begin
ning in a small way of wonderful accomplishments, not from the intrinsic value of the
money itself, but the self-reliance which it instills.

his command will be utilized to its full
est extent in meeting that attack.
Senator Dillingham of Vermont has
spent a considerable share of the time
Bince he has been in Congress studying
the immigration question of the United
States; and he has also spent some time
in Europe considering the situation there
in its relation to the United States, be
ing then acting as the chairman of the
United States Immigration commission.
The information which he has gained
through that experience will prove of ad
vantage to him in supporting the meas
ure now before Congress, which is de
signed to check immigration. Senator
Dillingham will no doubt be called upon
to defend his measure against vigorous
attack, and the fund of information at
The situation when the steamer Ticon
deroga of the C'hamplain Transportation
Co. went aground in Lake. C'hamplain
last Sunday seems to have been well
handled so far as the safety of the three
hundred passengers was concerned, all of
the men, women and children being tak
en off the boat without loss of life and
with a minimum of discomfort, all things
considered. The incident serves to call to
attention that although transportation
is not carried out on a great scale on
Lake C'hamplain, there is just as much
need1 of discipline and drill as on the
steamer which ply in coastwise excur
sion tra flic or on the greater lakes of the
country. Under conditions such as pre
vailed on the steamer Ticonderoga last
Sunday, there was a chance for the up
rising of the panic spirit, with resulting
loss of life and injury to the scrambling
crowd. To train officers and crew to han
dle such conditions is a necessity, it
would seem; and probably the Cham
plain Transportation Co. does train its
employes. At any rate, the possibility of
panic was forefended effectually.

Miss Caroline Boots, who has been
with friends at Torrington, Conn., for
a week past, has returned to Mrs. Ains

near the junction of Main and Depot
streets. Credit should be given to B. C.
Hoyt, who gives the lumber and to
Frank Ahline, who does the painting
and has also had the work of the build
ing of the arch in charge. There was
not time for th construction of a large
arch, but those who have made it pos
sible to have one have done the best
they could and the general thought
seems to be that they have done well.

The Peerless Knitting Mill, with a modernly appointed . NEW factory building, catering
with its high class production to such merchants as John Wanamaker, Marshall Field and
Jordan, Marsh Co., and affording congenial and remunerative employment for 200 hands,
mostly women, will become a living reality in Barre's New Industrial Age IF YOU WILL
DO YOUR PART ! !
The Appeal Direct
This is YOUR opportunity because it is Barre's opportunity. The high cost of living has
imposed new responsibilities upon breadwinners, and in the absence of facilities for employing
the grown members of theia families they must leave town and seek ELSEWHERE the op
portunities that are now withheld. Keep the girls at home- keep the workingman in Barre,
where his productive power is badly needed in the ever growing granite industry.
The Peerless Knitting Mill
offers a safe and sane, non-taxable investment, with a guaranteed return of seven per cent. Present plans provide
for expansion in order to meet a future growth that is already assured. Big and little investors must rally at once!
Shares are selling at 100 on easy payments. If the necessary amount is subscribed, ground for the factory will be
broken at once and the building will be erected this fall.
Not a Gift, But a Sterling Investment
In the $100,000 already subscribed, some of Barre's most conservative investors are heavily represented. In
the same way YOUR savings will yield a splendid return. YOUR subscription is NECESSARY. Get into the boat
and pull a strong o ar. And don't delay! .
(Additional details of the project may be secured from members of the Board of Trade Committee, or by
reading the newspapers.) .
SHALL BARRE GRASP THIS GOLDEN INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY?. IT'S UP TO YOU!! Is this your
town, or do you just live here? s

Are You Looking
for Able, Active
Attention?
If this is the case consider our invitation to call
at this institution where every phase of bank
ing service is constantly and progressively ap
plied to the best interests of our depositors.
