I THE--BARK E DAIL.Y T1JH&S, BAjlRE, THURSDAY, JULY 1920. Baid, perhaps, that Gov. CIt-ment'a atti tude on the suffrage amendment mat ter did not change the influences which were already at work and which would have had a tendency to keep him from further political preferment of the sort that he sought. So he really aurren dered nothing by his refusal to call a special session of the legislature. Railroading on the Barre "hill" also has its thrills. The Shamrock-Resolute score to 1 and it's the ninth inning. "If Wilson warits war, he can have it," wrote the ex-kaiser as a marginal note on a document back in 1917. No doubt the ex-kaiser regrets, the gift so smugly offered three years back. Gov. Cox of Ohio, Democratic candi date for president, is being sought as a campaign speaker by Vermont Dem ocrats. Vermont is willing to show him a good time even if it does not show him the votes afterwards. Under the new management, the Newport Express and Standard is get ting to be one of Vermont's most-alive newspapers, having a distinction some what akin to that of a daily news paper, as it may become, we are informed. The automobile manufacturers are voting unanimously for the increase in wages for the railroad workers because the increase means a raise in passenger rates, which, in turn, means a new crop of motor vehicle drivers as people turn in disgust to their own means of conveyance. The farmer-labor party candidate for president wants Eugene V. Debs, the socialist candidate for the same office, released from the federal prison at At lanta.' Mr. Christensen need have no compunctions about beating a man when he is in jail. The voters of the country will see to that. A new phase of accident liability de velops in the case of a woman worker whose hair became caught in the ma chinery in a Wtney shop, causing se Ivere injury to the woman. The ques tion is how far the liability of the con cern goes in that case. It might be open to more than one interpretation. The history of the ill-starred Hohen ssollern family, especially since that time when its members forced a war on the world, continues in its dreary course through the suicide of Prince Joachim, the youngest son of the for mer emperor, and the only one, it is believed, who got near enough to actu al fighting in the great war to be wounded by weapons. Prince Joachim seems to have been looked down -upon by the other members of the family to a certain extent but to have been somewhat of a popular figure in the minds of the German people during the progress of the war, perhaps be cause he wore scars of actual participa tion in battle. With the head of the present Hohenzollern house in virtual exile, with the eldest son and former heir presumptive to the throne like wise banished from his native land and protected from the allies by Holland, with the family exchequer reduced to narrow lines by reason of the loos of royal prerogatives, with the entire family held very lightly throughout the world, and now with the youngest son taking his own life, things are go ing badly for the Hohenzollcrns. What a tangled web they started when they instituted the war! ' The name of T. Nelson Dale, so fre quently seen in connection with gov ernment reports on granite, will be eliminated from the U. S. geological sur vey reports next month when Mr. Dale retires as geologist for the survey after 28 years' service. Mr. Dale has been one of the country's most prominent geologists during the past generation. The Hartness campaign managers are depending upon a card index to show them just how much support their man will have in the Vermont primaries for governor, and they are reported to be much encouraged by the responses they have received. How ever, it is a long distance between the card index svstem and the ballot box. MerclaWa in Vermont towns need to be on their guard against the appear ance of the slick frger who recently passed forged checks on a number of Middlebury merchants and got away before the forgeries were discovered through deposit of the checks in the banks. It ia probable that the fellow will try to find another easy money. market. Japan may be able to scrape up 100, 000,000 yen in the t'nited States with which to finance the South Manchu rian railroad, but most American in vestors are of the type of people who want to be able to see their invest ments now and then. Besides that, there are plenty of opportunities in the United States that are crying for American money. All things considered, it will be far wiser for the people of the United States to place their money at home, or in some country not far re moved from home. , COMBATTING COMMUNICABLE DISEASES. Massachusetts stands 15th among 30 states from which statistics for 1918 are complete in respect to preventing death from the seven most costly com municable diseases. It is behind Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connec ticut, a fact that may be met with the dubious defense that it has many more large cities han any other New England states. Springfield, Mass., Republican. It is, indeed, a dubious defense to say that Massachusetts' poor showing in preventing death from the seven most costly communicable diseases ia due to her large cities, in view of the fact that Massachusetts has been priding herself on. her ad vancement in medical science and the application of that science on the peo ple ' of the state. That defense is scarcely applicable when contrast with Connecticut's death rate is made inas much as Connecticut has several large cities, whose population has been very much of the floating sort ever since the outbreak of the World war and the development of war industries in that state. As a matter of fact, some of the other states of New England have been making progress in methods of handling communicable disease. We refer in particular to Vermont because we are more conversant with the con ditions in Vermont. The Vermont state boa'rd of health and co-operating or ganizations have been putting forth) unusual efforts to combat the spread of disease; and the results of those efforts are made apparent in the sta tistics of year to year. Vermont's po sition is not happenstance; it is a part of well-designed plans. "A smile will shorten the mile." To-day we are spring ing the first two-piece Summer suits.

Rogers & Company Democrats may nominate Marcus Cool idge of Fitchburg as their candi-iate for governor, which would make two Coolidges on the ballot. When the voter gets into the booth the confusion should not be so great as might first appear. Governor Cox' name will be coupled with that of Roosevelt at the bead of th,e Demo cratic electors on the presidential half of the ballot, while Channing Cox" name will appear elsewhere among the candidates for governor. The situation that would be created would, however, be favorable to our own Mr. Cox. In the first place a great deal will be said against Cox for president that the careless voter may receive as applying to Cox for governor. In the second place, the bonehead, seeing a Cox and a CoolidKe candidate for governor may think that the former is the Demo rmtic nominee for president and the latter our own Calvin Codidge for whom he wants to be sure to vote.

Tina ia quite apt to be the case when men are not in ' the proper frame of mind to consider carefully and when they do not take time to look into the case fully enough to warrant the taking of human life.

Granite Savings Bank & Trust Co. A Serious Situation In our trupRl with tht H. C. of L.. economy fhould b our watch word, but let it be rational economy. The prire of milk has not rien out of proportion with the price of labor, the prire of other foods, r the cost of production. And vet there are many families with growing chil dren who buy only enough milk to t their breakfast food and color their coffee. How reckWs to put "e.vpenMx e" milk in 'economical," nourishing coffee. But this is no jest. It Is a Tragedy It ii on of the serirms health question of the day. A survey In Tortland, Orepon, revealed the startling fa. t that o.TOi school children were getting little or no milk. How seriou is tlii milkles diet situation! Juet thi serious! In Torthind in 101 more babies and children died from causes traceable to lack of proper nutrition than from "Flu'' and all other contagious deaes combined. Father and mothers, is this ot a subject worthy of your earnest consideration! The fact that phyaiiians are constantly prescribing either an ewlu sie milk diet or milk in the diet, oupht to be proof positive to the lay man that it is good medicine for him and hi family, si.k or well. Pr. F.dward C. Callaway, an authority on the ubjct, tells us that for the best h.alth of the family the milk bill should be to and one half times the 1'cat bill and twio the bread bill. In every family in America, the rule for buying food should be: Oder the milk first, and then practice economy if it is possible en food that ate not eiaotly essential. Barre Milk is the milk from healthy cows. 6 14 "REFRIGERATORS" At 25 Per Cent Discount for This Week Only As it is getting late in the $ea.on and we do not care to cam any of our Refrigerator? over until next season, we will Vive a 25 rr f,rt discount on the remainder of our stock, for CASH ONLY.
