fiat sort of a sentence may be said to

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

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.

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.
Make the game clean and wholesome.

Domestic Economy.
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.

CURRENT COMMENT
TAKING PROFANITY OFF THE
BASEBALL FIELD.
Announcement has, been given nut
that a attempt will he made to elim
inate profanity from the field in a
rerun n baseball league in the United
Ma tea, thereby making the games of
nch a nature that there will be no
offense to man or woman. It is to be
hc.ped that the poliry will he rigor
ously carried out and that the use of
profanity by player or spectators will
he completely barred. It is cert 1 in
that the po'icy will fay the sponsor
of the sport even if there be no other
incentive than to make the game le b-jectK-oabie.

attend games when they are almost
