Notes for Week Ending Oct. 25.
J. K. Carrigan, assistant county
agent leader, spent three days with the
county agent helping in planning the
budget for the year and. also helping
with the plans for the dairy stock sur
vey and membership work. Monday
und Thursday th county agent spent
working with the advisory eoumKlmen
of Chelsea and Thetford, respectively,
in collecting dues of members who have
not renewed yet for the present year.
The committee men in charge of the
dairy stock survey were visited in the
Thetford, West Fairlee, Williamstown
and Washington districts. All the dis
tricts except Tunbridge and Waits Riv
er are working on their plans for the
carrying out of the survey and some
districts are all ready to begin. Most
of the time next week will be spent in
assisting these districts in their surveys
and completing the plans in the two
remaining districts.
On Friday the agents attended the
school fair in Williamstown, and as
sisted in the judging of the home eco
nomics and agricultural products. The
quantity of products exhibited was not
as large as at some of the other school
fairs but the quality of the products
was exceptionally good. It can be seen
that the children are getting away
from the idea that it is not the un
usually Jrge or freak thing that takes
the prize but a standard, uniform prod
uct. All children who have enrolled in the
boys' and girls' club work should send
in their reports to the state office at
Burlington by the first of November.
These reports should be accompanied

Production Cure for High Prices.
"The nation-wide campaign against
the high cost of living will prove utter
ly futile unless the workmen of this
country come to the realization that
production is the vital link in the chain
of ever-increasing high prices," declared
X. L. Fiske, a manufacturer of Xew
York City. "Profiteering and hoarding
of foodstuffs contribute to the appal
ling condition, but the crux of the sit
uation is production. The men who
hamper or lessen production at this
critical juncture, of the nation's affairs
in an effort to wring wage increases
from their employers are doing not
only themselves but everybody else a
grave Injury. So, too, with the men
who insist upon fewer working hours
and refuse to work overtime, despite
the unprecedented wages now being
paid, for this, too, boost prices and
lessens the purchasing power of theirs
and the whole nation's dollars. Em
ployers are business men and are look
ing after their own interests, but they
have patriotism, too, and they do not
advocate a halt to wage increases and
an increase of working hours solely for
their own benefit. Reduced gupplies
and great demand mean high prices and
high prices to a few short-sighted busi
ness men means good business, but to
the manufacturers of this country with
a little vision the artificial price levels
mean bad business and ultimate dis
aster if permitted to continue.. Manu
facturers generally would rather trade
with prices at a lower level, for they
know that the inflation of the currency
has inflated the prices throughout all
industry. As long as the mills con
tinue to produce less than they have
capacity for, with money more plenti
ful and people spending as "never be
fore, it is inevitable that prices will re
main high. It is to be hoped that' the
coming conference between capital and
labor at Washington will bring about
an understanding that production is
the really essential thing in the high
cost of living fight." Washington Post.

THE PRECIOUS 1804 DOLLAR.
It Is Worth Somewhere Between $1,000
and $2,000. -
The 1804 dollar is one whose value
has not shrunk in these days of high
prices aid low-powered money. In
fact, the 1804 dollar is the most valu
able of all. If you can mi across one
of the date you may consider yourself
somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000
better off, for the 1804 dollar is worth
that' much.
Just why the 1804 dollar is so val-.
liable is a matter of uncertainty to
numismatists. Many stories are told
to explain the mystery. One is that
the whole output of that coinage was
sent to St. Louis, then a frontier trad
ing post, to relieve a money shortage,
but that the carriers were robbed on
the way and the money buried by the
robbers. But the evil fate that so oft
en overtakes those connected with bur
ied treasure came upon the thieves.
Some of them were killed, the chart
locating the buried coins disappeared j
ni 1.4 tiisrjr iuc ItKVll HIWL I'ver SMICC,
Still another story is that the bulk
of the coins were put on a trading
vessel bound for the east and that it
sank in midocean, no one surviving and
the coins going to add to the lost treas
ures of the deep.
But the opinion of several other au
thorities is that the shortage of 1804
dollars is directly due to the fact lha
few were coined. Scott's "Standard
Catalog," everywhere accepted by nu
mismatists as something like a final
word on such matters, inclines to the
opinion that only 20 of these dollars
ever were struck off the dies. That
the dies "existed is certain; they were
not destroyed until 1 Still.
The last 1804 dollar to appear came
to light in Berlin in 1885. It was im
mediately taken up for $1,000, but is
worth much more to-day. This rare
coin is larger but thinner than the dol
lar of to-day. It bears the bust of
Liberty, the national arms and the
healdic eagle. On the face side are 13
stars with t lie word "Liberty" in large
letters at the top. Many" efforts to
counterfeit it have been delected, the
counterfeiters using its twin, the 1801
dollar, and merely changing the figure
1 to a 4. For that reason, whenever
the word goes out that an 1804 dollar
has been found, treasury officials and
numismatists are skeptical. Kansas

THE GOOSE AND THE GANDER.
Selfishness Just as Much the Preroga
tive of the Farmer as of the Miner,
Longshoreman, Shipbuilder and
the Other Workers.
In the soft coal fields the miners are
demanding a scale of DO hours of work
a week and (10 per cent more pay. CVial
is so essential to the nation's industry
and business, to the people's comfort
and livelihood, that a strike of the
miners would stagger the country like
n sudden and terrific shock of war. It
is for this reason that the leaders em
powered to call the strike are confident
that thev will gain their demands. It
is for this reason that some of them
boldly declare that, whatever the con
sequences to the individual or to the
nation, this thing shall bo.
But what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.
How would the coal miners like it if
the farmers refused to do enough work
to raise the wheat needed to make
bread for the general public?
How would the coal miners like it if
the farmers refused to do enough work
to raise the corn needed to feed and
fatten the cattle and sheep from which
come the public's beef and mutton, to
feed the hogs from which come the
public's pork and ham and bacon, to
feed the-poultry from which come the
publio's-eggs?
IJow Tvould the coal miners like it if
the farmers refused to do enough work
to raise the hay and other produce;
needed to feed and' fatten the cows
from wnicn come me pinnies mini ana i
bulter and cheese!
How would the coal miners like it if
the farmers decreed that for the small
surplus of products raised beyond their
own food needs by their half workday,
from planting season to harvest moon,
the public must pay them fabulous
prices $10 a bushel for wheat, $8 a
bushel for corn, $2 a pound for meat,
$1 a quart for milk, $4 a pound for
butter!
How would the coal miners like it if
the farmers swore that they would
have their inordinate prices without
work, though the American people,
men, women and children, must sutler
famine and the country be plunged into
ruin 1
And what applies to the coal miners
applies, of course, to other workers.
If the brutally selfish, the suicidally
voracious message came irom the
American farm that either the people
of the L'nited States could ransom
their lives on the terms laid down to
them or they could starve, how would
the coal miners, how would the long
shoremen, how would the shipbuilders,
how would the expressmen, how would
the railway workers how would they
like it? Kew York Sun.

Federal Board for Vocational Education
Is Helping Disabled Veterans of
the World War in Great
Numbers.
, The following letter from Dr. I'el
W. Lamkin, chief of rehabilitation of
the federal board for vocational educa
tion, to Gen. Harvey C. Clark of Jef
ferson City, Mo., should ojlset all the
effects of the recent criticism of the
board. Any disabled soldier entitled
to re-education who was misled by
some of the unfounded criticism which
has appeared need (only read the fol
lowing letter to understand the' true
nature of the unwarranted attacks
upon the board.
October II, 1019.
General Harvey C. Clark,
Jefferson City, Mo.
Mv dear Genera! Clark: I am taking
the liberty of writing you in regard to
the work of the federal board for voca
tional education because V" know of
your interest in the boys who welt
into the service, because of your pres
ent position in the state of Missouri,
both as adjutant general of the state
and as former temporary chairman of
the American Legion, and because I
feel that I can write you as a friend
in these matters. You may not know
that I came here and since Sept. 1.1
have been chief of the division of re
habilitation. -
The criticism of the work of the
board whrh has been most widespread
is that contained in two articles which
appeared in the American Legmn
Weekly, written by a young man
named Mason under the nom de plume
of Marquis James.;
Mr. Mason sat with our board of
review, or case board, here in Wash
ington and stated to the man in charge
(who, by the way, is a member of the
American Legion), that the board was
more liberal than he would have been
in most cases. After the appearance
of the first article, he stated that what
he had written had been "revised" in
the office of the Weekly.
In the minds of many people, the
federal board for vocational education
is regarded as, in a way, a compensa
tion bureau. The law does not desig
nate this board as such. On the other
hand, it specifically states that it shall
train men who because of their dis
ability have a vocational handicap. It
is not necessary for me to say to you
that a man in one vocation may' be
seriously handicapped by a disability
which would prove only a minor dis
ability in another vocation.
Our board is charged with the duty
of retraining the vocationally handi
capped. Another department of the
government deals with compensation.
The fact that a man in training re
ceived for maintenance from to $."0
per month more than a man who was
not in training, no doubt, caused many
persons to seek to come under. the di
rection of this board who otherwise
would not have done so.
There has never been a more diffi-'
cult or complex work undertaken by
the government. We consider men
varying in education from the illiter
ate to the college graduate, in indus
trial experience from the day laborer
to the specialist in law or medicine,
and in disability from the temporary
removable disability to the man suf
fering from major amputations. 'Men
have expressed preference for training
for each of several hundred various
occupations the trades and profes
sions desired vary from those which
are overcrowded to Hiokp of which fn-
of us have heard.
The case of eacli man must be deter-
mined on its own merits and in few
instances are any two factors the same
This board cannot say that every man
who has lost a hand shall be given the
same training, but other things must
be taken into consideration.
Prior to July 11, as you know, we
httll no fllltfuiritv in B,t until nffir MA
bureau of war risk insurance had de-
dared a man compensable. At that
time we actually had in training 3,ISH0
men. To-day is Oct. 11, three months
later. The record shows that we have
11,500 men jn training to-day. I may
say to y nc that the opening of schools
since the middle of August has caused
the large increase of men in training.
They are entering now, according to
notices received, at about 1,300 per
week?
While we have approved for training
something over 25,000 men, you may
be interested in knowing that the last
figures from Canada show that during
the entire time of more than three
years, the Canadian government has
approved for training 23,078 men and
17,000 had commenced training. In
less than a year's time we have ex-

ceeded their number of 'approvals and
the number of men entering training
Will equal theirs by the middle of Xo
vember. Suggestion is made that we have
established a large number of contacts
with men on whose cases we have not
acted. It is not my purpose to excuse
delay nor to present an alibi, but this
number of contacts includes all the
men whose names have been referred
to us by the Red Cross ot other agen
cies, or whose names we have as hav
ing been in a hospital for any cause
during their service. A large number
of these men are now suffering from
no disability whatever.
The law under which we operate al
lows us to train men who are voca
tionally handicapped, paying them a
subsistence allowance, but at the same
time allows us to give job improve
ment training without same subsist
ence allowance to all men who have
"-cn nnaracu compensation, even
though their injuries do not consti
tute a vocational handicap'.
Should Congress pass the bill which
is now pending and which provides
compensation on a basis of $S0 per
month for total disability, this pro
vision would allow a much" larger num
ber of men to take advantage of what
we call section 3 training, because of
the fact that their compensation allow
niaintaining themselves while taking
job improvement courses or when at
tending school even though their dis
ances would assist them materially in
ability is not a vocational handicap.
Some have questioned the small
number of men who have been friaeed
in employment after training. I am
wondering whether or not it is( not to
the credit of the , government, rather
than to its discredit, that these men
are given the benefit of courses of rea
sonable length before being placed in
employment, rather than being turned
out witli comparatively short courses.
The average length of cour-es so far
approved is 0.8 months, so you see at
this time relatively few men'have com
pleted their courses and are ready for
placement.
We have tried to give first attention
to men with major handicaps, at the
same time giving all consideration pos
sible to men with minor disabilities.
In fact, recently, the district oflicers
have been wired to place immediately
in training air men who bad suffered
major amputation without referring
their cases to the Washington office
for action. As soon as we can take
care of men suffering from major han
dicaps, we shall turn our entire atten
tion to those suffering from minor dis
abilities.
The statement has been made that
we have "confiscated'' the wages of
men in placement training. This has
never been done. When we have placed
a man in training in a shop he has
been given the nmintenance allowance
and at the same time allowed to retain
what the employer paid him. Any
statements to the contrary arc not
based upon the facts of the case.
In regard to medical attention, it
has not been the desire of this board
to build up a separate governmental
medical organization. We have been
in negotiation with the bureau of pub
lic health and with the war risk insur
ance bureau and have reached an
agreement. All men in training who
are entitled 1 the service of the pub
lic health service or bureau of war risk
insurance will receive it, and such oth
ers as are not entitled to such at
tention will be cared for at the ex
pense of the federal board for voca
tional education. Xo man under the
care of the board will be neglected,
but necessary medical care provided in
every case.
It has leen suggested that the board
"decentralize." We have 14 district
offices established, but the general pol-
icics of the board must be formulated

Barber Is a Milkman.
Arthur Barber of R. F. D. Route No. 2,
Barre, Vt., the well-known milkman, says :
'For four years I suffered terribly with
rhcurViatism and nervous trouble. The rheu
matism spread through my knees, should. -rn
and arms and gave me much discomfort.
1 had headaches, but not very severe ones.
Catarrh affected my hearing:. I would get
out of breath very easily and had some
trouble with my heart. I was very nerv
ous and trembled so and slept only fair.
I tried many kinds of medicine, but they
didn't seem to help. Then I came across
Goldine. Just ask me what (joldina did for
my troubles."

on, without delaying the consideration
of cases previously tiled, so that a man
shall receive notice, as noon as he
reaches home of the definite decision
of the board. The earliest contacts
advisable in the opinion of the surgeon
general's department will be made.
If a man just discharged from a hos
pital is entitled to training, the dis
trict vocational officer has been au
thorized to place him in training iit
onee if facilities are available. If fa
cilities are not available,, they aie in
structed to arrange for preliminary in
struction until facilities are available,
thus entitling him to maintenance pay.
In regard to the redempton of oicj
premises, men were placed in training
in some instances without reference to
this ollice and without notifying it.
District officers lave betn instructed
to notify such men that the action of
the agents of the board would be rati
fied and that any man who entered
training upon the authority of an
agent of this board would be continued
in training for at least a year.
In regard to the broader interpreta
tion of section 3 of the ait, the board
is willing and anxious to give training
to every man for whom the American
people, through its Congress, provide.
Disabled men in training are not
sent to public charities; allowances
are made for dependents and pay
ments are made as soon as proper
claims are filed.
The records show that at least 50 per
cent of the men employed by the board
are ex-service men and that those who
have suffered disability are given pref
erence. 1 hope 1 may have your con
structive criticism. We want imme
diate, intelligent action on the part of
all representatives of this board. As I

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the r.'ork.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by
all who know them.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act gen
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
griping cathartics are derived from
Dr. Edwards' Oljve Tablets without
griping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
Dr. b. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
will know them by their olive color.
Take one or two every night for a week
and note the effect 10c and 25c
