Bridge Collapses Under Heavy Load

George KinlbaIl teamSter, of Ches-
ter, and his helper narrowly escaped
severe injuries when a pair of sleds,
loaded with 5000 pounds of stone and
drawn by two yoke of oxen, dropped ILL.,
to the Williams river as the iron bridge
on Grafton street collapsed, the two
men and the oxen did not fall with the
load, as the latter were freed from the
seds when the bridge gave way and
kimball and his helper jumped to place
of safety.
The collanse of the bridge will for
several weeks necessitate mile detour
for those who have reason to use this
road. The cause Of the collapse of the
bridge has not been determined. The
roadway was cemented last fall instead
OF being planked.

christmas Clubs.

A feature of local holiday buying
is the decided stimulation given to
trade by the disbursements of the
bank from the savings of Christmas
clubs. The members of these clubs,
by setting ash ie small amount each
week, are able to command
very considerable sum, with accu-
mulated interest so that the lack of
money, characteristic of the average
household during the Christmas
shopping period is very largely OBJ
waited.
The idea was originated by the
Clement bank, which provides slid
ing scale of savings to suit the con-
venience Of the deposi or, Other
banks permit the deposit of small
sum given amount each week. while
all have the effect of greatly en-
HANGING the volume of local trade.
Young America learns the art of
saving steadily under these condi-
lions, and Older people find the ac-
cumulations Of the Christmas club
extremely convenient. Thus the
educational value of habit of saving
small sums Is combined with very
substantial increase in the volume Of
local trade.
The Christmas club idea is bound
to grow, and the period succeeding
the annual gift-giving season is like
Iy to be marked by an increase in
form of saving, Parents who de-
sire to encourage systematic saving
and economy can not do better than
to promote young peoples clubs
with the ultimate view of establish
ing the habit which already has
been substantially exemplllind, not
only IN the sums accumulated, but
in the sensible character of the gifts
provisioned Herewith.
The good work may well go on. -

Very Much Alive.

All sort Of death sermons are be-
ing written about the Progressive
party by the stand pat press. The
latest death notice come from The
st. Adams Messenger but the Mes
senger falls into a trap by confess
sing that the Progressive party was
Instrumental in forcing the so called
house cleaning in the Republican
party
But has there been real house
cleaning in the Republican party :?
The standpatters say so but from
all the evidence it is doubtful if
there has been any material change.
The Republicans have attempted to
do few things in are form way but
the same old horses are there Of old.
A leopard cannot change it's spots
and an Old dog cannot be taught
new tricks. It's just the same in
politics. With Barnes and Penrose
and Root and Cannon as horses, how
can there be a house cleaning chat
is real.
The work of the Progressive
party has just begun and the people
feel its need now more than ever.
The reactionary element just got a
setback three years ago and are
now trying to recover. 1t will take
another election to pot them entire
ly out of commission.
A party which polled 100000
votes in 1914 is not dead one by
any means but it must be considered
that the Progressive party is ma
ti0nal one and the figures for 1914
were largely local. With national
issues at stake there is every reason
to believe that the Progressives
will show much greater strength,
and with the question sharply
drawn there are many who believe
that the Progressives can wir the
next national election.
The Progressive party is far from
dead it will be the most potential
influence in the national campaign
next year. The principles it stands
for are of such importance that the
people are beginning to see tntt 90

Poor Markets For war Bonds.

The public has been surprised to
learn that the famous 100000, 900
credit loans of the Allies in this
country was, after all, not popular
success The syndicate that under
wrote the loan found itself, at the
expiration of the sixty-day limit,
with $180,000,000 of the bonds on
its hands, and had to dump them
into the market to bring what they
would. From the fact that these
secur sizes have been selling lately
at from 81 to So a share under the
syndicate price, it's evident that the
underwriters are losing money on
the deal.
1t was supposed, from the readi-
ness with which financiers had joined
the syndicate and subscribed for big
blocks of the bonds. that the public
would absorb them readily. But
the public has not shown any such
lnclination.' It's apathy is probably
due chiefly to two causes: First,
the Allies lack Of military success in
recent weeks, and their correspond
ing appeal to the American magma
ton; and second, the present attrac-
tiveness of the American investment
market.
The latter consideration is especi-
ally significant. Home investments
are looking more desirable every
day. There is little doubt as to the
ability Of the belIigerent nations to
pay their obligations, but there is
still Jess doubt as to the future of
the United States. Interest and
patriotism combine to induce the
America investor to help finance
domestic enterprise rather than the
European war. And so the tide OF
American gold IS turning steadily to
the upbuilding of a greater and
sounder prosperity. - RUTLAND
