From the Barre postoffice is issued in
formation relative to the use of the Red
Cross seals on mailed matter. Those |
dealers in this city who are handling |
the little seals this year report a heavi- |
er sale than usual and the restrictions |
laid down by the postofice department |
are worth needing. Red Cross seals, says /
order No. 5000, should be affixed to the /
reverse of domestic mail matter and not |
on the address side of any letters or
packages that are going through the
mail. If placed on the address side of
foreign letters and parcels they may not
reach their destination. They may be
placed anywhere on matter going by ex-
press. Care should be taken in sending
merchandise through the mails not to
place the seals over strings with which
the package is secured, since this closes
the package to inspection and subjects it
TO first class postage rates. Christmas
seals are not good for postage; they
viii not carry any mail matter, but it
IS well to remember that any kind Of
nail matter will carry them.

SOME SUM

AS the end of the fiscal year draws
to close, the prediction of a trade
balance of over 81 900, 1000, 900 favorable
to the United States which has been
predicted by Secretary of commerce
Redfield and other students of COM
merce seems ever more probable of
realization.
If the forecasts prove true, it will
be an event of momentous. importance
in the history of American trade. Since
the restoration of specie payment in
1871 there have been only nine years
when the trade balance has reached
one-half that amount.
The largest balance in any year IN
the period between 1871 and 1915 was
in 1908, when it was $666,431 ,554 In
fifteen years of the time since 1871
the balance for the whofes year was
less than for the month of Febru-
airy last, when it reached the high
mark of $174,682, 900. In seven years
since 1871 the balance of trade was
against the United States mounting
in 1872 to a debit of $fS2417000

THE DAILY PROGRESSIVE

We salute our readers with a chang

which to US is so suggestive of pro-
gress that we sincerely hope it will be
also welcomed by all our old readers
and by new friends as well. The
much heralded chautauqua is here at
last, and as a direct evidence of our
faith in it as an agency for uplift in
this city, we have undertaken to fur
nish the people of Belington and the
visitors of Belington with the best

chautauqua week at 5 o'clock P. M.
and the people of Belington can read
each days news in The Beington Daily
Progressive 18 hours earlier than it
can come to them in any other paper.
The present undertaking only ex-
tends thru the six days of the chau-
tauqua. We have dreams of regular

present, however, we merely have I'M
dertaken to meet present need, and
to that end we ask your patronage

YOUR, WATCH ISA COMPASS.

Most men who own watch think
they know all about it. They have the
number fixed in their memory in case
it is stolen. They could probably pick
it out from five other watches with
their eyes shut. But how many men
know that their watch is compass
and will tell north from south as &C.
curately as it will tell the time Of day?
Stanley, the explorer, did not know it
until he had CROPPED his way through
the dark continent and met a Belgian
sailor on the coast. Every watch is
compass. If you point the hour
hand to- the sun the south is exactly
half way between the hour and the
figure XII on the dial. Suppose for
instance, it is o'clock. Point the
hand indicating to the sun and the
II on the watch is exactly south. II
it is 8 o'clock point the hand indicat-
ing 8 to the sun and the fiRurs, x on
the dial is due south, No man. nssd

A DUEL TO THE DEATH
AMONG THE CLOTHS

Little dots in the streets told me
that crowds were gathering. They
began to shoot at us. It was fine.
They were bad shots.
II felt like dropping a bomb-not
to kill them, but simply to see some-
thing blown up.
"Then came French monoplane.

but my pursuer was too swift.
Game another monoplane, only
500 yards away.
II shot at the airman, ahead of me.
Then the Major shot, once, twice.

"The enemy's machine nearest to US
tilted and fell to the ground like a
stone.
"Our other pursuer shot at us with
pistols. A bullet hit the fuselage.
"Then oimpenetrable fog concealed
us from the enemy."-From letter

SECRET SOCIETIES.

What is the moral effect of Free
Missionary, Odd Fellowship, Knights of
Pythias and the Numerous secret soci-
cites upon the home? Solomon, the
wise man, said: Discover not secret
to another" and he had good reasons
for laying such an injunction, for in
his time, as at the present, there were
people too much disposed to tell all
they knew. One-half the trouble in
every community, comes from the
fact that so many people have not the
capacity to keep their mouths shut.
We have two ears but only one tongue,
which is suggestive of the fact that
we should hear more than we tell.
By the power of secret divulged,
families, churches, neighborhoods and
even nations fly apart. By. the power
of secret kept, great charities, re-
formatory movements and Christian
enterprises may be advanced. 1t is an
often discussed question whether as
sociations that do their work with
closed floors, and admit their members
with pass words, and greet each 9TH
err with a secret grip are right or
wrong. Our answer is that it depends
entirely upon the objects for which
they meet. If to pass the hours in
revelry and obscene talk, or to plot
trouble to the state, then we say with
an emphasis that it is wrong. But
where the object is the improvement
of the mind, the enlargement of the
heart, the defense of the government
then we say, with just as much en-
phasis, that they are blessing.

THE LAYMAN,s DUTY

There never was q time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance, that civilization did
cot shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud Since the beginning Of gov
eminent. politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in politieal professions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top OF power and offered to make them
monarch Of all they surveyed, and
while most ofsthem have said, Get
thee behind me Satan" a few have
fallen with crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.

The most remarkable feat yet per-
formed by submarine was that of
the German boat, U-51, which includ-
ed 5,000-mile trip from its basein the
North Sea and eliminated in the sink
ing of the British battleships Triumph
and Majestic in the Dardanelles on
May rs and 27. Captain Otto Herr
ing, of the U-boat, thus tells the story
of his achievement:
"There were thirty-three of us
aboard when we left Wilhelmshaven
on April rs. Off the coast of Eng
land, past Gibraltar and in the Medi-
terranean we encountered enemy
ships, but always dived to safety. We
reached the Dardanelles May rs.
I'm the early morning light we saw
the Triumph and the Majestic lying
Off the coast, constantly encircled by
destroyers. Through the periscope I
saw a destroyer coming directly for
US. We dived. We came up imme-
diately. / took aim through the peri
scope, pressed the button, and the tor
pedo slipped noiselessly into the wat
er. We dived again. The explosion
was as terrific as if it had been in the
fore part of the submarine herself"
The Triumph was struck and sank.
The U-boat lay hidden for two days,
then came up near the Majestic, ten
destroyers on guard steaming around
her. The captains story continues:
Seeing welcome space between the
encircling ships I pressed the electric
button and the torpedo was going.

Feast and your friends are many;
fast and they cut you dead; they'll not
get mad if you treat them bad, so long
as their stomachs are fed. Steal if you
get million, for then you can furnish

Not more than three score lives
were lost in the sinking of the two
battleships, which were of the pre-
dreadnought type, but they were the
last of six battleships lost by the al
lied feet, which soon withdrew to the
comparative safety of harbor in an
island ten miles away.

WHY WE OFTEN CAN'T HELP
LAUGHING IN CHURCH

The one great difference between
man and all the other animals islaugh-
ter. The elephant is highly organic
ed animal, but he could not appreciate
the Katzenjammer Kids; the ant Is ex-
traordinarily intelligent, but even the
Newlyweds could not make him grin.
Even the laughing hyena has no in
tention of showing appreciation Of a
joke when he yowls, and the grin of
the ape is sign of anger rather than
pleasure.
Laughter is sign of high devel-
opment. The nearer one is to the
animal, the less one laughs. The
more highly developed we become,
the more do we perceive humor. For
laughter, it must be remembered, is
a sign that an emotion has suddenly
been set free. 1t is like q touch on
the trigger of gun, the gun being
self-restraint.
No one ever tells an animal lin the
wild state) that there are certain
things that he must not do. There
lis no direct prevention of an act that
the animal wants to perform. Con-
sequently, the animal has no self
restraint.
Man, on the other hand, is, sur
rounded by commandments from
babyhood EDWARDS. He is always
being told by someone, first by his
parents, then by the laws Of society,
that there are things that he must
not do. The desire to do these things,
coupled to the knowledge that he dare
not do them, causes a tense emotion.
The animal lives as the occasion rises;
man is keyed up by the continuous Of
conflict of occasions.
1t is the relief from this keying up
that gives rise to laughter. The
greater the tension caused by the de-
lay between impulse and act, the
funnier does the thing seem which re-
leases it. Something which would
seem only moderately funny if it
happened. in the street, becomes
screamingly ludicrous in church, be-
cause of the tension of feeling that
one must be solemn. When q snow
ball hits silk hat that one laughs,
because of the feeling that whatever
else silk hat might be intended for,
it was not as target for snowballs.
Exaggerations are often funny, be-
cause they twist our emotion from =
usual to an unexpected channel.
A story-teller who laughs at his
own jokes always spoils his stories.
1t is the man with the mournful face
whose quips seem the merriest. It
is an old saying that one must "laugh.
and grow. fat" but modern science
has learned that we must "laugh and
grow wise"

LOOKS GOOD.

International influences hav-
ing bearing on American BUSH
ness and finance as developed
during the last week were prac-
tically nugatory.
Save for forecasts of a favor
able nature which emenated from
Berlin the attitude of Germany
toward President Wilson's Sec
ond note relative to the Lusitania
disaster is still problematicaland
consequently continues to gen.
crate a spirit Of hesitancy among
security investors; a like effect,
but to a lesser degree, is created
by the Mexican situation as no
evidence of the conciliatory spirit
which President Wilson has de-
manded has been manifested by
the warning factions of that re-
public.
In domestic commerce cross
currents are at work, but the
general trend is toward the goal
of prosperity to which the coun-
try has been gradually working
for several months.
This is manifested by marked
improvement in several of the
leading industries. The steel
boom continues. Operations Of
the United States Steel Corpora
ton are expected to soon reach
80 per cent capacity. The vast
war orders from Europe, the
prospective record breaking
wheat crop now being harvested
and heavy yields of other grains
are creating a new demand for
labor.
These latter influence are be-
ing reflected in improvement in
the transportation business. The
number of idle cars on the Penn
sylvania railroad lines East and
West on June Is was 1909, COM
pared with 1886 cars or % per
cent.
A week ago there was much
concern over the sharp slump in
foreign exchange. The United
States was selling to the belli-
gerents, particularly the allies,
vast quantities of supplies, and
uneasiness was felt as to the
manner in which those countries
would make payment.
During the last week Morgan
& Co., of New York announced
the completion of arrangements
for a French loan of $4,000, 900,
which was to be made in New
York on collateral constituted of
American railroad bonds which
the French government was to
deposit here. This loan, it was
said, would be increased from
time to time as necessity might
occasion.
There is talk that similarloans
will be made to Russia and Italy.
England too, it is said may avail
herself of such relief, but it is not
expected that any step of this ma
ture will be taken by the latter
country until the new $5,OOO,-
100000 war loan just authoriz-
ed shall have been foated.
These loans though the effect
is scarcely yet evident, are ex-
pected to check sharply the rapid
decline in rates of exchange
which are putting the American
dollar at such a high premium as
to tempt foreign holders of
American securities to dump
them on the New York market.
