An American dollar brought 07,000,
000 rubles on the Russian e&clmnge
market. At that rate, you could go
over with some change in your poi.'ket
and be a wealthy man among the Rus
sians. '
, The trail of Roman Catholic church,
fires in -various parts of Canada, chief
ly in the Province of Quebec, does not
apeak well for the spirit of tolerance
on the part of at least one person.
The open stove and the almost her
metically scaled house are' exacting
their annual toll of human life. It's a
dangerous combination So if you're
running coal fires over night, better
permit some slight avenue of ingress
of fresh air.
t - i
ens in that village getting President
HuntU of the Boston t Mamo rail
road into conference recently. After
an inspection , of the situation, Presi
dent Huntis in reported by the White
River Junction Landmark to have de
clared that the ''railroad situation at
White River Junction was one that
needed to be remedied at the earliest
posniblt- moment, both for the con
venience of the public and the ease of
operation for the railroads.",. That's
progress, surely. To get the head of
one of the connection lines entering that
point, to admit the situation is bad is
encouraging. However the further
declnmion by President Huntis that
Urn possible changes arc not for the
immediate future is not so encourag
ing. But the people of White River
Junction and the dissatisfied public of
Vermont and New Hampshire, as weir
as of other states making temporary j
visits to that point, should not despair.
On the other band, they should make
persistent and strong representation
at the opportune times until the rail
roads conclude to make the changes
which they admit are very necessary."
White' River Junction needs a new
station, and needs it badly.
The , allies are finding the Turkish
Nationalists a tougher proposition to
deal with than they anticipated when
they invited the Turkish delegates to
the Lausanne conference. '. Evidently,
the Turks took their cue from the
World war and the development
therefrom.
This man Arbtickle is getting so
much free publicity in connection with
the lifting of the moving picture ban
on him that , if he once gets back info
the pictures he'll be one of the best
known men of the whole w United
Elates, 'bar none. Which is, in iUelf,
rather unfortunate
AMERICAN INTERVENTION ?
American intervention in the repar
ations dispute between Germany and
the allies is distasteful to at least one
of the allies when it is learned that
the proposed intervention is merely to
find out how much Germany is able to
pay. The idea even of that is more or
less distasteful to the people of the
United States, many of whom think
that Europe, having . been . stopped
from fighting itself to death, ought to
be able to como to some understand
ing in regard to money matters grow
ing out of the righting. It is more or
less presumptuous, too, for one coun
try to step in and say what shall be
paid in reparations, for that would
be really , what the proposed interven
tion would amount to. Europe isn't so
impotent as it might seem, only Eu
rope wants to let the United States
do a disagreeable- task.
RANDOLPH
Just how slight have been the ef
forts to enforce prohibition in some
sections is clearly shown by the statj
ment that for the first time in nearly
two years federal enforcement agents
." visited Holyoke, Mass., and on their
first try succeeded in buying drinks of
whiskey at two places in that city,
simply by entering the places drcs.wl
as workingmeu and planking their din-
ner pails down on the bar. The inci
dent does not show what the local au
thorities have been doing all the tiruej
but the indications are that they have
' been doing less than their full duty,
if liquor transactions are carried on as
easily as that. '

Dedication of a new $200,000 admin
- istration building at Lyndon institute,
. to replace a structure destroyed by
fire last year, speaks volumes for the
vitality of that institution as well as
for the strong leadership of its prin
' cipal, O. D. Mathewson, and the co-operation
of the community. With such
fine equipment, Lyndon institute will
' be iu a. position to maintain the pace
: in modern school life. The school is
" doing a fine work, and it is a matter
for general satisfaction that the fire
was not permitted to cripple the school
in any way As a matter of fact, the
fire proved advantageous in one way,
in that it developed the spirit of co
operation back of the institution.
Miss Miriam An as.' 11 and Miss Helen
Morse the latter the guest of Miss
Angell at at Burlington, arrived here
on Friday to pass the vacation, from
the U. V, M. college with her parents,
Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Angell.
Mrs. C. J. Dyke, who teaches in
Pomfrct, has come to pass the Christ
mas vacation here with her relatives.
The , schools all closed here on Fri
day and many of the tcachert went to
their homes to spend the holiday with
relatives. Mrs. Morrison, the teacher
of music, left on Friday for Massa-
An Old Christmas Story
The Christmas spirit may be termed an "answered call."
To illustrate, a simple little story, old, yet true, is brought to mind: A little
boy, half-clad in rags, after an unsuccessful attempt to sell his evening papers,
stands, shivering with the cold, against a holiday window of one- of New York's
big department stores, one of those alluring holiday windows that magically
spring' into , being and in which ar3 displayed so temptingly the many
Christmas longings of a boy's heart. v
The little fellow stands there unnoticed by f he thousands who surge up and
down the avenue, except one. There is one, out of the multitude, fine, big-hearted,
red-blooded man who sees a little face white and motionless, a forehead part
ly covered with locks' of hair through which a pair of large brown eyes look '
out upon a world of wonder and hope a forbidden world it seems. There is
something about the boy which touches the heart of this man; he sees in the
youthful face a wonderful light a light dimmed by poverty and despair sud
denly rekindled by a glorious new hope a sad, yet beautiful sight.
The call is answered. A moment's pause and this big man takes the hand of
the boy and leads him into Wonderland. Both are happy. ' V
The little bov is today one of the country's leading financiers, a position
which he owes to this simple act of kindness and generosity extended by a
friend at Christmas. The friendship thus formed ripened with the years ; the
confidence established was never betrayed.
All of our success, individual or institutional, is due to the confidence placed
in usat some time by somebody.
This bank would acknowledge with gratitude at this glad season the con
fidence, placed in it by the public, and the officers, " employees, and directors ,
voice their appreciation of the many acts of kindness and courtesy which have
been extended to them. '

There were so many presents fant
Claus congratulated the people on their
prosperous condition. Then Robert
Mitchell, in behalf of the congregation,
presented the pastor a Christmas box
well filled with over $50 as an expres
sion of the people's goodwill. In re
sponding, the pastor thanked the peo
ple, saying" this was one of the best
Christinas trees this church ever had.
Then all the children received their
boxes and departed in good cheer.
