Remembering those doughnuts ever (teas, th ex-service men will be like ly to respond to the call for assistance in the Salvation Army drive for funds to carry on the peace work of that organization. The overseas men came back with some rather complimentary thoughts about the hospitality of the Salvation Army on the front. Now that the Salvation Army it seeking to raise funds to carry on its work in the United States it would be good reciprocity for them to contribute. And the boys may be expected to do so. The effects of "Pussyfoot' John son's expedition into Great Britain may be said to be working, for we note that the Scottish Trades Union Congress has passed resolution in favor of liquor prohibition. They wouldn't have raised. such a hue and cry over Johnson in various parts of Great Britain had it not been that the prohibition propaganda, he was preaching was taking hold on the minds of people throughout the British Isles. Johnson is now back in the United States but the word he left is making its impression. A dry British Isles would be quite a violent change. When a candidate cannot poll a bet ter majority in his home state than Senator Harding did in Ohio there isn't much likelihood of his running a very good race in the country as a whole. Therefore, it may be expected that Senator Handing is really out of the race for the republican nomination for president, no i:atter whether he may decide to stay in the contest formally. Senator Harding had his chance in the Ohio primaries to t the remainder of the country know what those most intimate with him think of him, and the report is not at all impressive in view of the fact that Senator Harding could command only approximately . 16,000 majority in a vote of about 250,000 for himself ar.d Major-General Wood. We hear a great deal nowadays about the so-called profiteer, and it does not seem to matter very much what particular class of commodities one is dealing in, he is generally, supposed to4be exacting an extortionate profit on his investment. We all know that there are exceptional cases in exceptional industries, where either the manufacturer, wholesaler or J.m ffj" of an artificial demand to hold-up the public to the se fish advantage of an an already swollen pocketbook, but these cases are not the average industry and even, if they were it would not help the situation one iota by qmtt ng work slowing down production, encouraging radical and unsound pnnaples, Ihoutini "Profiteer !' and generally adding fuel to the flames of discontent. , There has no doubt been considerable speculation; this is always so in a rising market; but the underlying causes of most of our financial and economic troubles are the natural outgrowth of a hurned attempt to pros ecute physically and financially a war so vast and so terrible in its conse quences that we cannot comprehend it. We do not like to believe and cannot understand, apparently, the pres ence of forces which we do not see. .We know that prices have gone up and up, until we stand aghast at the constantly shrinking buying power of the money that we earn, and instead of trying to learn the causes of this inev itable process, we kick the government, blaspheme the retailer and encour age the radical. ' - The causes of high prices, outside of a certain amount of speculation as mentioned, is inflated credit necessary to finance and float our Liberty Loans, superfluous circulating media, principally federal reserve notes, taxes which are altogether too confiscatory for peace time, and personal and govern mental extravagance. ' Now the quickest way td bring down prices is to go without, and if this country could be stirred to the necessity of this, from one end to the other, prices would tumble a great deal faster than they went up, and we would be getting team-work, increasing production, and getting back to a feelmg of confidence in each other. Herein lies our individual responsibility, and it Is a great responsibil ity much greater than we realize. Our fathers knew how to sacrifice, to get along without those things that they could not buy, and we can do it now, if we will. The question is: Have we got the moral stamina to deny ourselves? Upon our answer to that question depends our happiness in the period immediately before us, and we must answer before it is too late. if I The Peoples National Bank of Barre 4 per cent National Bank Protection for Your Savings 4 per cent 9 "One good turn deserves another."

Northern Vermont appear to be in a fair way to make distinct gain through industrial development. Fol lowing the announcement of new In dustrie aecured for Barton cornea the statement that a $250,000 addition to an existing plant in Derby Line it to be constructed, making the tap and die industry there one of great im portance. Then there la the huatling, bustling city of Newport which ia con atantly showing aigna of being Ty much alive. Those three places, as well at Orleans and North Troy, are reported te be much in need of hous ing accomodations in order to take care of the growing number of people who are being attracted there by reason of the Industrial development. 80 it seems that . industrial develop ment and population growth are not confined to the southern section of the state by any mean. Northern Ver mont has to be reckoned with when Vermont industrial conditions are tak en into consideration. be The Mine purpose should apply to schools and college, throughout the country, where the tendency has been to add some of the coarse features of professional baseball of the lower sort. We have in mind a school game which was closely contested and with crowd following the playa with eager interest until it came to a point when an irascible and unbridled play Ut Iikim a etrinif of oaths and coarse language toward another play er Presto! What a change: me entire game took on a new aspect. The crowd began to consider that they were watching an exhibition of low stamp uul ther lost interest accordingly. The game went into disrepute; the whole eighteen player shared in ine igno- minv of the sinele player who naa 101 control of hi temper and hi tongue. The player who had given sucn a of himself felt the ating of disapproval and he no doubt regretted his ill-advised action. Yet the damage was done. The game had fallen into low estate) it had been cheapened immeasurably. So it is ev ident that there i danger of cheapness and coarseness getting into college and achool sporta and that there is need of strong effort to counteract the influence Just as the major base ball league in question i about to do.

The old timers had their period of high prices after the Civil war. Some of the old folk of northeastern Ver mont will tell of price that would look fairly hitfh even in these balloon ing times. Hut family life waa built on a different svstem then. The old-fashioned family carried thrift to small details. Many old house holds never used many matches. They twisted strips of paper to make lamp lighters. They never bought soap, de. pending on the grease kettle and ani- p mal soap boiling epree. Their con- p scientious little economies built for-1 p tunes. j S Time would now be considered too ; valuable to fuss with these antiquat- j j ed frugalities. But the present worn- j ? en' movement to eut down high costs doe well to emphasize such points as,p the making over -of clothes, and more economical use of inexpensive foods. If p ecientifle efficiency is applied to the home, many needless costs can be cut out. St. Johnsbury Caledonian. m Learn to keep a set of booka. Write Shorthand, Operate a Typewriter.
