FEELING is OPTIMISTIC
Business Men Write President
COntradicting Republican Cry
of Calamity-FactOries on Full


Time.
Washington, June 30.-Letters
and kilograms that are pouring
in upon President Wilson and
Members of the Cabinet flatly
contradict the pessimistic re-
ports of the business situation
which are being so industriOusly
circulated by Republican politi-
clans.
Talk of panic, these advices
say, has no foundation whatever.
All evidence points to the larg-
est grain crop, including corn, in
history. 1t therefore follows,
the Democratic leaders say, that
a business boom will quickly ap-
pear after the marketing of the
bumper crop. The President is
confident it will be a lasting
boom because the existing
doubts as to the meaning of the
antitrust laws will be removed
and because scientific currency
system will then be in full opera
ton.
The letters most valued by the
President come from the heads
of large banking, manufacturing
aad jObbing houses. They ex
press agreement that there il
every reason for optimism. Tht
banks have plenty of money ant
are not overlOaned, and tht
manufacturing and merchan'
world is carrying a light deb
load.
The only testimony of depres
sion comes from the stock ex
changes. The stock gambler
of Wall Street are not getting a
many lambs to shear as the,
would like. They attribute tn
slack year in stock trading t
the fact that the President i
firmly demanding that Congress
live up to the Democratic plat
form pledges and strengthen tn
Sherman antitrust law. /
enacted, the trust bills will 60
long way towards limiting tn
old field of stock manipulation
The requirement that new issue
of railway securities be approve
by the Interstate Commerce Con
mission, for instance, will put a
end to the old game of sellin
water to the public at hig
prices.

Daily Doings Of The High School Students

 The regular monthly meeting of the Athletic Association will be held Wednesday noon in the assembly hall. The amendment to article six of the ,constitution, adding paragraph seven to section one, introduced at the last meeting will be voted upon. The amendment reads: ..9'I1e executive conhmittee shall have the power of appointing successor to any man sager or other office holder in this as- lsociation when any of these officers have not at least twelve points of study and a promotive standing of seventy per cent. in each subject. Such appointment shall be subject to rati- fication by the association at the next regular srneeting.' z
 The entire executive committee of the athletic association will meet to- morrow noon in. room l. The class representatives and the officers of the association will be present.
 Evidently one or two members of the senior class feel that they have been slighted regarding the tickets for the class play and to this effect one of the members endeavored to make himself felt at the class meeting Fri day noon. At the last regular meet ing of the class the memberws were asked to pledge themselves to the sup port of the play and all but two stood in favor of so doing. The chairman of the ticket committee then decided to give neither of these two any tickets to sell as they would not en- deavor to dfspose of them. But at the meeting Friday one of the pair arose and asked what system was being used in the distribution of the tickets. He proceeded to tell how he thought l it was a grave mistake to slight him and that tickets should be given to all mem bers of the class. His address i was immediately sque1ched though when the president asked him how many tickets he desired and he an- l swered None

The Rich Lumber company is skid
ding more timber this season than last
year. They have now in their yards
more unsawed lumber than was ever
seen before in Manchester Just think
what a showing ii would be if all the
spruce timber that was cut and raj ed
to New York state years ago could
have been put on the market rs these
people are doing now. During the
times when the Pettibone Bros. were
numbering over this same territory
hundreds of thousands Of the incest
old growth spruce logs were fioated in
the Battenkill to mills in New York
state which, if it could have been man.
ufactured in Manchester, would have
added million dollars to our wealth.
A woman who knows what she is
talking about says that "apeing"
European fashions by the women of
this country is the most senseless kind
of action. She claims that our girls
and young women are just as smart |
and capable Of inventing and creating
costumes, bonnets, hats, and any kind
of women's and girls wardrobes as
are those of Paris, London, or any
other foreign school of experts if they
had only depended on themselves in
the past for such work. She is sorry
for our women if they cannot see and
feel when their sisters are becomingly |
fit to attend even presidents
reception without ordering costumes
from abroad" She thinks that with |
all our ability and good taste we had
must better employ home talent to fit
out all danes and damsels who de-
mand something more snowy and styl
ish than now appear in the fashion
books of our publishers. Without a
doubt our people can, by giving atten-
ton to these matters, produce the
goods that will call for small fortunes
to buy, and that has been the object
as it seems to her in the past. Let
US appear as citizens of the United
States Of America, not as (of which
we may be PROUD show forms for
artists Of Paris and London.

Congregational Parsonage Burned
From Tuesdays Brattleboro Re-
former we take the following:
Rev. T. d. Preston, pastor Of the
Congregational church of this village,
awoke about o'clock this morning to
find the upper part Of the parsonage
in flames. He managed to get his wife
and baby out of the house, which was
well in possession of the flames which
had started about the chimney. 1t
was possible TO save only the contents
of the house that were on the lower
floor. There was no insurance on the
contents, but there is small policy
on the building.
DR.. J. +. Calvin has just returned
from a professional call when the
alarm was sounded and he hurried to
the house, being the first to arrive.
He did what little could be done with
hand chemical extinguishers and with
such water as was available, but it was
apparent that nothing could be done to
save the building, so all efforts We're
turned 10 saving what furniture is was
possible 10 get from the house.
The town has the old Phoenix hand
engine, once in use in Brattleboro, but
the fire had gotten such start that
!; was useless to try and save the
building and the engine was not put
into use, as there was nc danger to
other buildings catching from the
flames

est and Smartest Forms.
This basque with seams that extend
to the shoulders is one of the latest
developments. 1t can be made with
full or with plain side portions, but 1t
is always closed down the front.
Chiffon velvet makes beautiful
basque TO be worn over Il skirt Of
charmeusc satin. One of the new soft

The sleeves can be made either in
full or three-quarter length.
Here the basque with full side por-
tons is made of charmeuse satin In
the new purple known as aztec, and
the collar and cuffs are of white.
For the medium size the basque with
gathered sides will require four and
