Osowiec.-Cpposing as stubborn a
resistance to the armies OF the invader
as did the Austrian fortress of PrZ-
emysl, the Russian fortress of Osowiec,
which forms the subject of today's
description of places important in the
war zone by the National Geographic
Society, has withstood the attack Of
troops and siege guns through months.
To the west and to the east, the Ger
mans have advanced deeper into Rus
sian territory, but the fortress OF
Osowiec still continues to check the
enemy's progress along an important
path. The war primer says:
"Osowiec, about 20 miles inside the
Russian frontier. southeast from the
East Prussian border, and the lake

BENEFITS OF SOBRIETY

A few weeks ago the Monitor spoke
of the march of prohibition, mentioning
increased prohibitory territory in this
nation as a result of the fall elections
and the lessened sales of alcoholic
drinks in the warning nations by gov
ornamental orders. Now comes word
from authorities in London that the
closing of their saloons has actually
checked crime. Justice Robert Wal
lace says that crime in London has de-
creased 80 per cent. and attributed this
reduction principally to the reduction of
the number of hours the saloons are
permitted to be open. 1.-The effect has
been truly wonderful" says the just
ice.
The same story comes from Russia
where sobriety has been forced upon
the people by the Cars order that no
alcoholic drinks be sold during the war.
M. Menshikov says:
t'The experiment of the past few
weeks has shown that if the
treasury loses something because of
the ceasing of drunkenness, the PEG.
pie gain enormous and priceless advan-
tages. From all sides come kilograms
and letters describing the wonderful
transformation of the life of the peo-
pie, the extreme decrease of crime.
Detention houses and jails, police
courts and Offices Of examining magis-
trates are empty.
A Moscow paper states that in SO
precincts of that city crime was re-
duced 81 per cent by this state of pro.
hibition. Almost as large percentage
rural districts as well.
A Petrograd (St. Petersburg) paper
speaks enthusiastically upon the sub.
ject as follows:
''The stoppage of the sale of strong
drinks was at first undertaken for the
time of mobilization. This measure
however. has produced entirely I'M
foreseen results-the possibility of to
tai temperance. The voice of all has
been raised in favor of extending the
period of temperance, and now this
popular wish has been granted. The
Emperor has issued the order to STOP
the sale of alcoholic drinks for the time
of the war.
''The benefcent results of this meas
ure are innumerable. In the expecta
ton of final victory over the externa
enemy the Russian people Will conque
no less merciless internal enem.
which has hindered our material ant
spiritual prosperity not less than the
Germans. The good habit of temper
ance will become fixed during the war
and Russia, at the end of her externa
trials, will resume her internal worl
with a resoluteness of which it wa
possible only to dream before"
Now we read that the Russian edic
against liquor has been final. Alcoho
must go!

PIANOS.

We move out of the store at IS
Church Street and into our own build
ing the first of April. The expense of
operating large piano store, same as
we have always conducted, is about
$4,000 dollars a year. Necessarily, this
means good round prices for pianos. In
the future we are gong to sell pianos
at prices that will make people sit up
and take notice. We are not going to
employ an army of statesmen at large
salaries and large expense accounts
Therefore, during the month of Janu-
ary we will sell you an Emerson piano,
new, direct from the factory if you
wish, which we have always sold for
$3.50, for 1926 on terms of $40 down and
So per month. There will he no excuse
for your paying high prices in the flu
ture. We want the best quality of bus
ness there is to be had in the State of
Vermont. No SIS or Sc payments
Nothing less than So per month. and
our prices are going to bring this class
of trade If you are going to buy a

SAFETY FIRST.

If dollar is worth the great effort
required to earn it, it ought to be
worth the less effort required to save
it. If Safety First is a good motto
to follow while you are pursuing the
elusive dollar, it ought to be a good
motto when that dollar becomes your
own. Mankind in general does many
perilous things for dollar, some of
which perhaps may be justified by the
needs of mankind. There is not iusti-
fcatlon for mankind in general to take
perilous chances with the dollar that
has been accumulated.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Canadian Contemporary on Bates.

The town of Derby has been parti-
governor. Mr.. Gates has placed his
mantle as state highway commissioner
upon the shoulders of Stoddard B.
Bates. For the present the office of
this department will remain at Frank
lin, the home of the governor. and Mr..
Bates will retain the same office force,
Mr.. Shedd, Miss Price and brother
of the governor One element in the
state wants to see the highway depart
ment in the hands of a technical
engineer. that system of trunk lines
running north and south and east and
west may be constructed at once, bond
ing the state to secure the necessary
funds for this purpose ; but Mr.. Gates
policy has been to pay as-you-go and
employ technical men who have grad
uated from the schools of the state as
such assistance has been needed. He
has made haste slowly and has pro-
duced more than modern highways for
today, he has been accommodating knowl-
edge of conditions and material, has
ascertained by practical demonstration
the best type of road construction for
the various sections of the state, he
has discovered the Importance of main
tanning the roads built, the training of
efficient supervisors of work and the
bringing to high standard of each unit
of the several road building gangs
over the state. While doing these
important things in connection with
this great work, he has solved a great
er problem in the transformation of
public opinion from apathy and entag-
onism to general cooperation thrOug Oh
out the commonwealth. When he took
up this work ten years ago. road con-
struction was new problem to the
states. and as one takes the RETROSPECT
tive look upon Vermont's highways. it
does not seem surprising that Mr.
Gates was called to the chief position
the people wish to have the processes
that have made the highways of the
state the best in the world. applied to
other problems. In selecting Mr..
Bates to perpetuate his road plans, he
has shown again his keen perception
of fitness in delegation of service. The
road work of Orleans county is suffi-
cient proof that Mr.. Bates is big
enough for the state job. and it is q
known fact that no two men as superi
or and subordinate, ever were a better
example of co operation, as shown ir
the solving of this state problem. The
new incumbent is not "silk stock.
ing" he is very close to those Abra
ham Lincoln thought God must have
loved, because he made so many Of
them-the common people; consequent
ly he has the respect of the rank anC
file of the working units of The organi
cation, and this means successful team
work Mr.. Gates would doubtless say
that Mr. Bates has been his right hant
in the long ten years fight for goot
roads in the state, and for the gooc
will of those living in the houses
beside these roads. While we conerat
ulate Mr. Bates we may at the sam
time congratulate the governor for in
surfing a continuance Of his highwa.
construction policy; it is simnly "nev
streams in old channels. "-Stansteat
