SHORTAGE OF MERCHANDISE


Editor of the Banner: We think
that you would be doing your readers
a real service by reprinting nclosed
clipping from one of the most reliable
trade papers. The purchasing public
do not seem to realize the serious
difficulty retailers are experiencing
in securing reliable merchandise in
almost all lines.
All retailers, to be sure, have more
or less goods on hand which they are
letting so regardless of market CON
ditions. When, however, we have to
replenish stocks Mr. and Mrs. Ulti-
mate Consumer will be rudely awak-
ened to the fact that their big round
dollars, while just as round as Of
yore do not cover the same territory
by long shot.
Alexander Drysdale & Son.
THE article referred to by Mr.
Drysdale will be found in another
column of the Banner.

PUBLICITY FOR BENNINGTON
Community Work to Be Described it
Ladies Home journal

Benningtons community project
has been receiving considerable rec
ognition in some of the best publica-
tions of the country recently. The
publishers have apparently recogniz-
ed the fact that many OF the projects
that have been carried out here have
been founded on original ideas and
original ideas are what the men who
manage high class publications are
looking for these days.
The latest magazine to recognize
the worth of the work that is being
carried on in Bennington is the
Ladies Home Journal, published by
the Curtis Publishing company of
Philadelphia and the issue for Jan
uary will contain complete page of
Illustrations depicting the different
events and activities of the campaign.
The photographs from which the il
Illustrations are to be made were the

your promptness in fulfilling the sug-
gestions contained in our telegram.
The day the telegram was sent we
heard of the good work you people of
Bennington are doing, especially with
the children, and it seemed to us that
it would be a good page feature in
The Ladies Home Journal, provided
we could secure sufficient photo
graphs and descriptive matter. And,
too, we were anxious to put the feat

London, Thursday, Nov. 1.-THE
Anglo-French forces in the Balkans
are more than holding their own
against the repeated attacks of the
Bulgarians, who are trying to destroy
the little Serbian army before rein
forcements can reach it.
The French have reoccupied Veles,
on the Nish-Saloniki Railway, thus
placing the Bulgarians at Uskub and
west OF this important junction in a
precarious position.
A Steffani dispatch from Monastir
says it is officially announced there
that the French retook Veles on Mon
day. That the recapture of the town
was imminent was foreshadowed in
various dispatches received yester-
day giving few details Of the move
ments OF the allied forces, A ,ele-
gram from Saloniki to the Hestie of
Athens, as forwarded by the Paris
Hayas agency. confirmed reports that
the French troops, operating against
the Bulgarians. were extending their
front along the railroad from Kriyo-
lax in the direction OF Veles, and ad-
ded that the position of the Bulgar-
ian forces at Veles was precarious.
British troops also were advancing
on Veles by route further north,
threatening the flank of the Bulgar-
ians. In the fight preceding the cap
ture of Ormanly. the dispatch says,
the Bulgarians suffered heavy losses.

to advices from Saloniki says an
Athens dispatch TO the Exchange Tel

Dispatches to the PATHS of Athens
from Saloniki, as forwarded by the
Paris Havas agency, state that for
four days violent battle has been
in progress in the vicinity of Strum-
itza, between French and Bulgarian
forces. At last accounts the fighting
was still going on. The French were
outnumbered by the Bulgarians. Gen

in chief, had sent reinforcements to
this front.
