The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-06-09

The grand list Of the town OF Ben
nington this year shows decrease Of
some three hundred dollars in spite
of the fact that the quadrennial APP
praisal was made last year, in spite
OF the fact that the poll list indicates
an increase of population of over 400,
in spite of the fact that property val
ues here are Increasing, and in spite
of the fact that most of the people
are prosperous. Bennington is a larg
er, richer and more prosperous town
than Brattleboro or ST. Johnsbury
but the grand list of each of these
towns is about half as large again as
that of Bennington because their
property is listed higher and their
tax rate made lower The sentiment
here has been to keep the grand list
down even though it makes the rate
extremely high, and the listers are
plainly obeying the win of the public
in listing property here at about fifty
cents on the dollar 1t has always
seemed to The Banner that it would
be wiser to make the appraisal high
err, say up to two-thirds of value, and
the tax rate lower, but the listers
cannot do it unless the people de-
mand it and back them up. 1t is
matter that should be talked over.

There is danger evidenced by the
situation in the cabinet that the
strongly pro-British sentiment in this
country may lead the United States
into war with Germany. The great
newspapers of New York and other
eastern cities are bitterly hostile to
Germany, several Of them to the
point of manipulating their news re-
ports and headlines TO stir UP hatred
Iagainst the Germans If the sober
minded American people want the
United States to join the allies IN
making war for which we seem to be
poorly prepared it is their privilege
as free born citizens to promote war.
Ii it is their desire to continue at
peace they should use their influence
to restrain America from rushing to
a break with Germany Italy is now
engaged in a war for which her ex-
cuse is so trivial as to be a laughing
stock even among the Italians them
selves, but Italy was driven into the
war by her oNn unthinking people.
The United States is hurrying along
the same incline down which the It
allan masses drove their government.
If il is not time to call a halt it is at
least time to think the matter over
with all seriousness.

Turner's LittIe Aftertbouoh,

An English critics reference to Tur.
ner's fine picture The Wreck Buoy"
reminds faithful newspaper reader
of a curious anecdote in connection
with it. When Turner first sent this
picture to the Royal academy It was
hung among several brilliantly cnlored
pictures. On vanishing day Turner
found the effect Of his dull gray rem
dering of a stormy sea altogether
spoiled by its bright surroundings
Without a moments hesitation he
painted iii the lighted buoy in The, fore
ground, and its dab of crimson light
showed so brilliantly in its gloomy set
ting that Turner's picture became the
prominent one. and its rivals or each
side were cast into the shade. 1t is
curious. If true that the most notice
able feature Of the picture should have
been an afterthought.

Wednesday, June 9, 1915.

The Bennington fire department
gave a good account of itself in the
Payne fire Monday. 1t always does.
The Bennington fire department on
paper and in its equipment looks to
be inferior but when it comes to real
work the firemen always come up to
the occasion and do more than seems
possible Bennington people should
appreciate their fire department and
when they do will give them a little
better working equipment.

YOUNG MEN OF CITY
PLAN MINSTREL SHOW
Affair Will Be Staged at High School
Auditorium on
April 10.

That the Associated Young Men of
South Bend are to give a minstrel
show April 10, in the high school au-
ditorium, was announced last night by
the president of the association, Don
aid Livengood.
There will be so to take part in the
show, which will be called THE Elk
position Minstrel" The play was
formed by LivengOod and others of
the association. The scene is laid at
the present exposition in San Fran
cisco. The opening of the exposition
is given in the play with three classes
of people going into Frisco on an
ocean steamer, pOrteTs who are the
MINISTRIES. passengers on board the
steamer and the crew. The scenes
change along with the affairs at the
fair and the whole show promises to
be amusing and interesting. Pro
meters of the minstrel are Raymond
Kuespert, Merle Vance, a. BOnDur-
ant, Robert SwintZ and d. LivengoOd.
Plans are also being made for a
young mems symphony orchestra to
be formed in the near future from the
young men Of the various churches in
the city. The orchestra will play at
the Civic clubs of the city, brother
hood meetings and will furnish enter
tainments at different times.
The baseball league of the assOcia-
tion is well under way and from the
present conditions the outlook for a
good league is expected. There will
be 10 churches of the city represented
with a team. The league is under the
management Of James Farrage and r.
l. Rabbi.

An Countries Are
Contributors to Style
Full Skirt is Perhaps the Only
Detail That Can be Called
Predominant"

Are you interested in the fashions
that have been virtually settled for
the spring and early summer?
Yes. indeed. Although there was
trepidation in the hearts OF women
few weeks ago anent the source of
fashions, they are here, and there IS
sufficient change to prove that they
are new, or revived styles with mod
ern changes.
Here are some Of the dominant
notes that will characterize the dress
of the new year.
There will be a quaint style that
suggests the second restoration, that
time after the reign of Napoleon
when the BOurbOns tried to regain the
scepter. This dress has dropped
shoulder line. a tightly fitted bodice
and full skirt The lowered silks and
satins are good for this kind of dress.
Do not for an instant think that
any special period of history is to be
adhered to. All times and all countries
have been the inspiration of the mod
ern styles. The revolution of France,
with its military styles and smartness
in line and trimming, is great note
in dress. There are cape effects over
the shoulders and cords and braid and
buttons. The military pockets, straps
and seams are used for suits of this
character.
Russia is another contributor. There
is the long coat, with broad belt and
trimming of bands and buttons, not to
forget the favorite cartridge trimming
which has come into favor.
This is the row of tubing and IS
placed across the top of a coat or at
the hip line or around the waist.
The strongest feature of the new
suits is the fullness of the coats and
skirts. The coats are very much short
err to allow the wider skirts full sway.
They are cut in a variety of shapes. A
great number of them dip in front and
quite a few are belted. The belts are
placed at both the normal and the
high waist line, but the latter position
is more noticeable on account of its
contrast to the longwaisted effect in
vogue during the last season.
Yokes are seen on skirts From
them the material hangs either in
folds or in pleats.
The materials used for the new suits
are serges, pOplins, cOverts, novelty
weaves, silks and gabardines.
Grays and tans in light shades are
greatly favored. Among these are
putty, sand, beige and battleshlp
( gray For the people who cling TO
| blues there are the beautiful shades
| of navy, dark copenhagen, army and
Belgian blues.

"Cascarets" Always
Straighten You Up
If Costive, Headachy, Bilious, Stom-
ach Sour, Breath Bad-Clean
your Liver and Bowels.

Get ten-cent box now.
You men and women who can't get
feeling right-who have headache,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are
bilious, nervous and upset, bothered
with sick, gassy stomach, or have
backache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing 4
passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour
undigested, fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a 1O-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg
ular, and head clear for months.
Don't forget the children. They love
Cascarets because they taste good
never gripe or Sicken.
