Some forty enthusiastic men and
women greeted Mr.. Chambers last
evening at High school hall. Mr..
Chambers interest was contagious and
the response to his leadership inn
mediate. Everyone felt they had
found a long wished for opportunity.
1t was unanimously voted that a
Community Choral Club be organized
and the enthusiasm of those present

found it impossible to attend on ac-
count of the short notice given made
it seem that Bennington might again
have a club similar to the famous one
of thirty years ago with it's member

The club will meet regularly on
Tuesday evenings with a view to
working up concert for Christmas

quired TO pay tax such as was for
merly imposed on liquor shops.
The United States government has
come to recognize the importance OF
the soda fountain, and the bureau of
chemistry has made important studies
of fruit juices for soda water After
the growth of the industry became
an assured fact and its permanency
certain, other drinks began to make
their appearance. These were OF many
varieties, mostly derived from fruits,
plants and nuts. One large company,
which markets popular Scent drink
through soda fountains, does busi-
ness of millions of dollars annually.
Grape juice has been greatly popu-
larized through the soda fountain. Lo-
cranberry juice, which is being made
in the Pacific northwest from logan
berries, which have been developed
from a combination OF blackberries
and dewberries by the Burbank meth
cd, is being investigated by govern
ment expert, who stated that he re-
CARDS the future of the soft drink
business as having enormous possi-
bilities Nut juice forms one of the
main ingredients of the kola drinks,
which derive their name from the
kola nut, large nut imported from
Africa and South America.
Big Money Pulled Down.
There are about ten cities in the
south in which these drinks are man
ufactured. During the last eight years
this business has increased by leaps
and bounds, and the statistics COM
pared so far this year estimate 3O,-
100000 gallons have been consumed
from January to the present time,
showing an increase of 1900 per cent
since 1898, Last year the retailed
volume OF these beverages amounted
to $250,000000. Considerable mys-
terry surrounds this drink, and its en-
tire business is closely guarded, but
the statistics show that several mil
Ian gallons were sold within ra-
dius of 800 miles of Philadelphia.
While America spends more money
than the rest of the world put to-
gether on sodas and soft drinks, many
other countries are beginning to
evince an interest in American soda
water, especially Australia, where the
business is conducted very much as
it is here. Americans have been
largely instrumental in its successful
introduction there. To smaller ex-
tent, England has become interested
in our soft drinks, but there has never
been a natural demand in England for
cooling beverages and refreshments,
because England hasn't the extremes
of heat and cold that we have here.
Even English ice cream is made
largely of water and is more like
American sherbet or water ice.
Altogether the soft drink, candy
and ice cream business in this coun-
try, three of the luxuries that Amer
leans must have, take stupendous
amount yearly out of the pockets Of
American citizens. The money they
spend on these items amount to
staggering sum. According to the
National Association of Ice Cream
Manufacturers statistics, 200,000,000
gallons Of ice cream have been con-
sumed this year. One of the larg-
est innovations for ice cream and
soda water service is being tried out
by railroad, which has placed small
fountains on some OF its trains out
of Chicago as an experiment, and if
1t proves to be successful it will be-
come a regular feature.-Philadelphia

THE NATIVE THIRST
Americans Spend a Billion and
a Half a Year for the soft
Stuff. "
BIG CALL FOR SODA WATER

Recent statistics compiled by a
trade organization in New York have
brought to light some interesting facts
in regard to business which is truly
American, and OF which the rest of
the world knows little or nothing,
with the possible exception of Aus
tralia. According to these statistics,
soda water and its kindred beverages
have become a virtual necessity to the
American people and last year the
sweet-toothed people of this fair land
dug down into their pockets for a
sum amounting to over 81, 500,000,000
to satisfy their craving for soft drinks.
The soda water and soft drink bust
ness has developed its millionaires in
recent years, just as the steel, automo-
bile and other industries have.
In 1876, when the Centennial expo
sition was held in New York, a mar
bic soda water fountain was placed
on exhibition in one of the buildings
and proved to be one of the many Gu
riosities of the exposition. Before
that time sodas had been sold in iso-
lated sections of the country, but from
then on soda water became an Ameri-
can byword, unknown anywhere else
in the world The business grew and
soda water fountains became adjuncts
of the drug stores. Then the bottling
business came into existence, and now
it is estimated that two-thirds of the
business is handled by the bottlers.
The statistics show that there are 49,
3l6 bottlers of soft drinks in the
United States, 1922 in the north, 1888
in the south and 1856 in the west
Public regulation of soda fountains
has followed the growth Of the busi-
ness. Health boards in various cities
have adopted laws which have the OBJ
ject of preventing disease through un-
clean glasses. In New York the
health department demands that all
glasses, spoons and other utensils be
properly cleansed and all soda dis
pensers must pass physical exami-
may be employed at the soda foun-
tains.
An American Institution.
This country is the greatest soft
drink country in the world and the
growth of the business in the last
few years has been little short Of
marvellous. 1t is distinctly Ameri-
can institution, and investigations
have resulted in the statement that
extremes of heat and cold, common
throughout the country, are an impor-
tant factor in the development of the
industry, causing the people to con-
sumo enormous quantities Of these
drinks. In proportion the "dry" states
have used slightly more than those in
which alcoholic beverages are sold.
In many places where prohibition is
in existence the bars have been turned
into soda fountains, and, in some, the
soda fountains and dealers are re-

leges and schools, is extremely dis
tasteful to China and has provoked
wide discussion in the Chinese press,
which believes that the granting Of
this demand will eventually give
Japan domination of the military par
ty in China and practical control Of
national politics,
From the first of the negotiations
concerning the Chengchiatum affair,
Japan has assumed that its original
statement of facts is correct, and
has proceeded on the theory that the
Chinese troops and the Chinese COM
mander at Chengchiatun were wholly
in the wrong. This assumption has
been very offensive to the Chinese
press, which constantly reminds the
Japanese that their troops were in
Chengchiatun wholly without legal
right, as eastern Inner Mongolia is
not even open to Japanese settlement.
The entrance of Japanese into
southern Manchuria and eastern In
ner Mongolia is denounced by the
Chinese press as an invasion of Chi
nese sovereign right. Furthermore,
Chinese officials hold that the Jap
anese troops were aggressive in the
Chengchiatum incident, and should
have expected a battle when they
attempted to invade the headquar-
tiers of the Chinese military detach-
ment
Six Other Demands.
The six other demands concerning
the Chengchiatun incident relate
chiefly to the military officers and
troops in eastern Inner Mongolia and
southern Manchuria, and do not have
the international import of the two
demands first mentioned. The Jap
anese insist upon the removal of
Colonel Chang, who commanded the
Chinese detachment at Chengchiatun
when the clash occurred. They also
demand the punishment of Lieutenant
General Feng Teh-lin, who COM
manded the entire division of troops,
of which the Chengchiatun detach-
ment was part. The Japanese also
demand the posting of official notices
through southern Manchuria and
eastern Inner Mongolia, warning Chi
nese troops against further clashes
with Japanese troops. Payment of
compensation to the families of the
Japanese soldiers who were killed is
also demanded, and an apology from
General Chang Tso-lin, at Mukden,
the military-governor of Fengtien
province, is insisted upon.

NEW JAP DEMANDS
PHOSPHATE CHINA
Baron Hayashi Asks Republic
to Give to Japan Much
Police Power.
HIGH PRICE FOR SHOOTING

Correspondence Of The Associated Press,)
Peking, Oct. 29.--China was stunned
by the Japanese demands presented
by Baron Hayashi as a condition upon
which his government was willing to
settle the Chengchiatun incident
which resulted in the death of mum.
ber of Japanese and Chinese soldiers
The Japanese minister presented
these demands on September 3. Part
of the demands were written, but part
were verbal and given with a request
that they be held secret Consequent.
ly the full Importance of the japanese
demands was not known for many
days. In fact the full import of the
demands is not now generally realized
as the language Of number of them
is so indefinite that they are capable
of very broad Interpretation.
The two demands of greatest mo.
ment are those which insist upon
:. China granting police power to Japan
in, Eastern Inner Mongolia and South
ern Manchuria, and upon the employ.
ment Of Japanese military instructors
in military colleges and schools
throughout entire China.
Elusive Words.
The first of these demands was
written, but in such general terms
that its meaning was indefinite and
capable of the broadest sort of inter.
probation. 1t exacted the right to es-
tablish police stations in a part OF
eastern Inner Mongolia and southern
Manchuria where Japanese reside, the
number of the stations to be fixed in
the future. The treaty of 1915 be-
tween Japan and China granted the
Japanese the right of residence in
south Manchuria and eastern Inner
Mongolia. The Japanese under this
treaty are to be limited to ports open
to foreign settlement. AT present only
five ports are open, but others will be
open from time to time when Japan
sees fit, and eventually the Japanese
will be able to reside legally in all
more important southern Manchuria
and eastern Inner Mongolian cities
and towns. Japanese are now living all
over southern Manchuria and eastern
Inner Mongolia without legal right.
The Chinese insist that granting the
Japanese demands for police power in
eastern Inner Mongolia and southern
<Manchuria would amount to the sur
render of sovereignty in those places.
This view is also shared by all Euro
peans living in China. However, China
is in no position to refuse this de-
mand. The financial needs of the Chi
nese republic are so pressing it must
depend upon Japan for money, and
this situation renders the Chinese for
eign office helpless.
